Chapter 139: Arrogance (1)

Seeing the old man’s figure, all the cultivators who knew the inside story stopped in their tracks.
Wu Guangyi watched as everyone stopped in their tracks. He cupped his hands and bowed to them.”Thank you for your loyalty, fellow Daoists. I, Wu, hereby thank you all!”
As he spoke.
Wu Guangyi bowed to all the cultivators present.
At this moment.
“Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Wu. The cultivators of Guang ‘an Prefecture aren’t that cowardly,” said a cultivator below the stage.
As they spoke.
The rough-looking late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator had an indifferent expression. Clearly, he was a Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator.
“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lei, for speaking up for justice!”
Wu Guangyi recognized the rogue cultivator who had spoken and cupped his hands.
“Everyone, two months ago, 136 members of the Wu Clan were transporting a ship of Level Two magic tools and spirit ores to Guang ‘an City. However, they encountered an accident on the way.
I would like to ask everyone here, how could more than a hundred Foundation Building cultivators who were protected by ling armor die for no reason on the way to Guang ‘an Prefecture?
Who in Guang ‘an Prefecture has the ability to do so? This courage?”
Wu Guangyi’s voice was deafening, and he was furious.
When Zhou Mucheng heard this, his chest heaved up and down.
However, he knew that he had no choice but to stand up for his family and himself.
“Brother Wu, if you have something to say, please say it clearly. There’s no need to point fingers at mulberry and scold locust tree!”
ii
Good!
ii
Wu Guangyi shouted,” I’m suspecting your Zhou family! All of this is the doing of your Zhou family!”
He stood in mid-air and pointed at Zhou Mucheng’s nose.
At this moment.
All the cultivators present felt their hearts clench.
The Wu Clan was the pillar clan of the Guang ‘an Immortal Alliance, and the other clan represented the overlord of Guang’ an Prefecture, the Zhou Clan.
“Brother Wu, do you know what you are saying?”
Zhou Mucheng suddenly calmed down and stared at the other party.
“Of course I know what I’m talking about!”
Wu Guangyi shouted,” Brother Yang told me to endure, and my Wu Family’s strength also told me to endure!
But I’m the leader of tens of thousands of cultivators in the Wu family! More than a hundred cultivators of my Wu Clan died for no reason. 1 can’t tolerate this, and I can’t tolerate the tens of thousands of cultivators of my Wu Clan!”
“Wu Guangyi, you and 1 went to the Southern Mountain’s City together. You should know who 1 am.
If I tell you that my Zhou Clan didn’t do this, would you believe me?”
Zhou Mucheng said seriously.
Hearing this.
Wu Guangyi’s eyes flickered. It was obvious that he was not calm at the moment.
“Good!”
” Yes.” Wu Guangyi nodded.” 1’11 believe you for the time being. Then, tell me, when you were the deacon of the Wu family’s patrol fleet, why didn’t you save more than a hundred Cultivators of the Wu family when they died? Why didn’t you know anything about it? ”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mucheng was completely speechless.
No matter what happened, he could not escape the crime of dereliction of duty.
Even if this matter was resolved, his status in the Zhou Clan would plummet in the future.
“Brother Wu, I’m sorry!”
Zhou Mucheng cupped his hands in greeting. He seemed to have aged a little.
Looking at his old friend who was in the same defense zone as him, Wu Guangyi opened his mouth but couldn’t say a word.
After a while.
Wu Guangyi took a deep breath and said with reddened eyes, “”It’s useless for you to apologize to me. You’re not qualified. 1 want Zhou Mubai to apologize!
I want Zhou Mubai to personally swear that the Zhou family didn’t do this!”
“Boom!”
This sentence instantly caused an uproar.
Who was Zhou Mubai?
Sword Immortal Guang ‘an, a prodigy of the Zifu Prodigy Roll, the young patriarch of the Zhou clan!
That was the pride of the entire Zhou Clan!
Wu Guangyi wanted Zhou Mubai to apologize to the Wu family, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Zhou family’s reputation.
Not only that, Wu Guangyi even wanted Zhou Mubai to swear an oath.
One had to know that the oaths that cultivators made were usually oaths of the Great Dao.
This kind of oath couldn’t be made carelessly. If anything went wrong, it would definitely affect his Dao path.
Therefore, not many cultivators were willing to make this oath.
“Old Ghost Wu, don’t go too far!”
Hearing this, Zhou Mucheng was also furious. He made Zhou Mubai swear that if he dared to go back and say this, the Zhou family would tear him apart.
“I will bully your Zhou Clan today.
I don’t believe that your Zhou Clan can silence all of us in front of everyone!
Zhou Mucheng, Guang ‘an Prefecture belongs to the Qian Yuan Sword Sect, not your Zhou Family!”
Wu Guangyi glared at him.
“You…”
Zhou Mucheng was so angry that he couldn’t say anything when he heard those words.
“What do you want? Tell me!” he said in a low voice.
” I’ve said it before. 1 want Zhou Mubai to apologize and swear that the Zhou family didn’t do this!”
Wu Guangyi did not back down.
Old Wu, you know that this is impossible.”
Zhou Mucheng calmed down once again.” How about this? Let’s make a bet.”
“Bet on what?”
Wu Guangyi raised his eyebrows.
“Bet on my life!”
Zhou Mucheng looked at the other party.” You and 1 are both cultivators. Since we can’t come to an agreement, then let’s decide right and wrong based on strength.
If I lose, I’ll give my life to you. Your Wu family will never mention this matter again!”
“Father!
ii
When Zhou Siliang heard this, he immediately became anxious.
Zhou Mucheng looked at his son dotingly and hardened his heart.” If 1 win, the Wu family will never mention this matter again!”
Hearing this.
“Are you sure you want to bet your life on it with me?” Wu Guangyi looked straight at him.
“Brother Wu,”
Zhou Mucheng cupped his hands.” You are the Wu Family Patriarch, and 1 am a member of the Zhou Family. We are both family members, and there is no right or wrong. If there is a chance in the next life, let’s fight again at the Southern Mountain’s City!”
“Good!”
Wu Guangyi took a deep breath and nodded.” If there’s a chance in the next life, 1’11 definitely fight again!”
In fact, Wu Guangyi had already begun to believe that the Zhou family was not behind this.
However, the Wu family did not believe it, and the people of Guang ‘an Prefecture did not believe it.
He was the Wu Clan’s Clan Leader, and he had to unite the hearts of his clansmen. He had to protect the Wu Clan’s reputation in front of the Guang ‘an Prefecture!
This was because this was the last thing the Wu family had.
Losing all these, just like what Wu Guangyi had said, the hearts of the clan would fall apart!
If he wanted to get all these, Zhou Mubai’s apology and oath would naturally be the best!
However, if he didn’t, the life of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Zhou Clan wouldn’t be too bad.
Seeing the two of them sign a life and death contract.
Everyone present knew that this matter would probably end here.
It didn’t matter if the Zhou family was behind this.
The life of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Zhou Clan was the biggest concession the Zhou Clan could make to their fellow cultivators in Guang ‘an Prefecture.
Seeing this scene.
Yang Linyuan sighed.
Regardless of the outcome of this matter, the Guang ‘an Immortal Alliance and the Zhou Family would be irreparable.
To be honest.
At this moment, Yang Linyuan felt a little regretful for establishing the Guang ‘an Immortal Alliance.
This was because this alliance might cause chaos in the entire Guang ‘an Prefecture.
“Troubled times!”
Yang Linyuan sighed.
High in the sky.
Zhou Mucheng and Wu Guangyi stood opposite each other.
Tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Guang ‘an Prefecture watched from the sky.
“1 didn’t expect that we would be able to fight in front of the Guang ‘an Prefecture today!”
Zhou Mucheng looked at the surrounding cultivators and laughed with a hoarse voice.
“1 really didn’t expect it.”
Wu Guangyi nodded.” I didn’t expect that you would still be at the seventh layer of the Foundation Building Stage after fifty years. Why are you regressing?”
Zhou Mucheng also relaxed at this moment. He shrugged and said,”It was already good enough that 1 was able to escape back then. How could 1 not have paid a price?”
Hearing this.
Wu Guangyi’s voice became low.” Actually, 1 know that this matter was not done by your Zhou family. But 1 have no choice. Brother Zhou, I’m sorry!”
Hearing this.
Zhou Mucheng smiled.” There’s no need for that. We’re both doing this for our families. There’s no need to apologize!”
Then, he looked at his son Zhou Siliang and said, “”Life and death are up to fate. Come!”
“Good!
ii
Wu Guangyi said.
A set of spiritual armor appeared. It was obvious that he did not dare to be careless in the face of Zhou Mucheng, a seventh-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, even though his cultivation was three levels higher.
Opposite him.
Zhou Mucheng’s ling armor also appeared.
The streamlined ling armor wrapped around their bodies, making them look like steel warriors.
In the next moment.
The two sword lights collided.
Chen Daoxuan looked at Zhou Siliang beside him who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan and comforted, “”Don’t worry, Uncle Zhou has the ling armor.
Even if he can’t win, his life won’t be in danger.”
Hearing this comfort.
Zhou Siliang was like a drowning man grabbing onto the last straw.
” Yes, yes,” he kept repeating.” My father has a ling armor to protect him. Old Wu can’t do anything to him.”
As he spoke, he could not help but relax.
Actually…
Chen Daoxuan didn’t tell him that Zhou Mucheng had said that if he lost, he would willingly accept his death.
It was not easy for cultivators of the same cultivation level to kill a cultivator who was wearing ling armor and was focused on escaping.
However, neither side would run away. If they continued to fight, one side would eventually lose.
For example, the exhaustion of primeval essence.
Just as Chen Daoxuan had expected.
The battle between the two in the sky became more and more intense.
All kinds of Tier 2 sword techniques were executed, enveloping the area within a radius of several miles in a wave of sword light.
Time passed slowly.
In the blink of an eye.
Two hours passed.
As both sides had given up on defense and fought with their lives, the consumption of true essence was extremely terrifying.
Only the defensive power of a Level Two superior-grade ling armor was extremely exaggerated.
Even Zifu Disciples would have to expend some effort to break through it.
Among cultivators of the same level, other than sword cultivators, very few people could break through the defense of a second-grade superior-grade ling armor.
Neither side could break through the other’s defense.
The only thing left was to consume each other’s true essence.
To be honest.
A battle of this degree had nothing to recommend in Chen Daoxuan’s eyes.
In his eyes, both sides ‘sword arts were ridiculously clumsy.
However, in the eyes of many Foundation Establishment Cultivators present, the strength of these two was almost at the top level among the Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Whether it was in terms of defense or attack, they had almost touched the ceiling of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Another hour passed.
Under the high consumption, Zhou Mu’s True Essence was not as good as Wu Guangyi’s and started to show signs of decline.
“Brother Zhou, you’ve lost!”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Wu Guangyi’s sword ray finally broke through Zhou Mucheng’s ling armor.
This was because Zhou Mucheng no longer had the True Qi to maintain the ling armor.
“Hehe.”
Zhou Mucheng’s face turned pale when he saw the flying sword stabbed into his chest. He laughed..” Old Ghost Wu, you won!”
