Chapter 139 - Guest From The Dragon Race

Zhong Yue’s eyes flashed, his voice was cold and grave, “Qimei, these guys? For what reason were they bullying you all?”

Yu Xuanji glanced over at Hu Qimei, taking the hint, she put up a smile and answered, “Nothing much, just small matters.”

“What small matters?”

Hu Qingqing blurted out rapidly, “These brats took advantage of your heavy injuries and provoked you. Not only that, your injuries were just made worse before you could even recuperate from them! From the way I see it, they are just trying to take your lives!”

Zhong Yue slightly locked his brows, he continued, “What’s going on?”

Yu Xuanji gave a bitter smile, he said, “This has nothing to do with Brother Long Yue, it’s because Hu Qimei and I have become the candidates for saint city lord’s disciple. This naturally didn’t sit well with certain groups of Qi Practitioners, and that’s why they came looking for trouble. This is the saint city lord’s manor, although these brats are rampant, they do not dare to kill us here. It’s only that they keep coming, disrupting me from my recovery. Senior Martial Brother Hei tried to stand up for me, but was injured by their Awakening Qi Practitioners.”

Zhong Yue tilted his head and looked at Hu Qimei, “So it’s is the same with Hu Qimei?”

Hu Qimei nodded and sighed in resignation.

Hei Hu’s face turned crimson red in shame and he said, “They’re here looking for trouble with Qimei and Xuanji’s, if we stand up in defense, their Awakening Qi Practitioner will just block us down. I’m ashamed, our foe has already opened the Wan Xiang Wheel, and we are no match for that. These brats, they’ve come in groups, one after another, an endless cycle of harassment. Xuanji and I didn’t even have the time to recover….”

Hu Qingqing sneered coldly, “They’re planning to kill you while you are sick and weak! How is this any form of duel, they’re just trying to kill Xuanji and Qimei at whatever cost! What other reason was there for all of them to be accompanied by a Wan Xiang Wheel expert, coincidentally just one level higher than us?”

Yu Xuanji hesitated for awhile and he said, “They should be doing all of this under the behest of Heavenly Monster Li Jun’s instructions. Directing the fire upon us so to force Brother Long Yue to step out, all so that he can kill him.”

Zhong Yue pondered for a moment and whispered to them, “Senior Martial Brother Hei, Senior Martial Sister Qing, can you two rush back to your sects and convey this matter to your teachers?”

“Such small matters, this shouldn’t be worth our teachers’ time and energy?”

Hei Hu and Hu Qing Qing gazed at each other, they said, “My teacher is the Keep Master of the Qing Long Keep and Senior Martial Sister’s teacher is the City Lord of Luo Ying City. They both hold high posts and great prestige. This is just merely a power struggle between the disciples, troubling them will be like making a fuss over nothing.”

“This is not a fuss.”

Zhong Yue shook his head and responded, “This is the saint city lord’s manor, who dares to just intrude and simply have their way with the disciple candidates for the saint city lord? Who gave them the guts to do so? Although Heavenly Monster Li Jun’s guts are big and he has a wide circle of acquaintances, those Qi Practitioners aren’t idiots either — if they were to enrage the saint city lord, they would die for sure. And yet, they still dare to find trouble with you, what could all of this mean?”

Hu Qingqing was baffled, “You are saying that?”

“The great saint city lord, had agreed tacitly to all of this.”

Zhong Yue’s face turned solemn, “The【Monster God Ming King Art】can only be cultivated by the members of the saint city lord, and yet, Brother Xuanji and Qimei have learned it. If you two were to be allowed to live, the【Monster God Ming King Art】would no longer remain the exclusive secret technique of the saint city lord. Even more so, it’s impossible for the two of you to be the saint city lord’s closed door disciple. Hence, so as to prevent the【Monster God Ming King Art】from disseminating out, the two of you must die.”

A frosty chill was sent down their spines. Meanwhile, Zhong Yue continued calmly, “Without the saint city lord’s tacit agreement, even if Heavenly Monster Li Jun were to be given a thousand guts, he still wouldn’t even dare to look for trouble with the two of you. But with the lord’s agreement, he wouldn’t hesitate to seize the chance and eliminate the two of you, thereby also forcing me to step out at the same time so that he can have the opportunity to kill me once and for all! Senior Martial Brother Hei and Senior Martial Sister Qing, I would advise the two of you to leave the saint city for now and convey this matter to your teachers. This may be your only avenue for survival!”

Hei Hu struggled to get up and said, “There’s a Qing Long Keep totem godly pillar in the saint city, it can transmit messages, I’ll connect to my teacher now!”

Hu Qingqing also stood up, “So will I!”

And with that, the two of them left.

Suddenly, a loud laughter entered their ears, “Yu Xuanji, Hu Qimei, so the two of you are here. Good, good, then I don’t have to take the trouble to go and visit you two one at a time!”

Zhong Yue followed the sound and cast his gaze over to it — there were two Qi Practitioners walking side by side. Their bodies were covered with furs, their heads were adorned with leather hats and their long furry tails were wagging on the ground. One was in the level of Rebirth while the other was in the Awakening stage.

The Rebirth Qi Practitioner smirked and said, “As soon as I came to learn that Brother Xuanji and Qimei had become the candidates for the saint city lord’s disciple, my heart was filled with admiration and I was simply driven here to ask for your guidance, and to see what the difference between the saint city lord’s candidate disciples and us commoners is! Qimei, Xuanji, which one of you shall come forward to teach me a thing or two?”

Yu Xuanji was furious, he bellowed out in anger, “Meng Xiang, my injuries still haven’t recovered. Would you even dare to fight me after I’ve fully recovered? Taking advantage of my injuries and asking for a battle, what kind of ability is this?”

The two Qi Practitioners had originally cultivated to monster Practitioners from mongooses – their names were Meng Xiang and Meng She, ferocious beasts that hunted and fed on snakes.

“You are the Long Yue from East Ocean? I hear that you are also one of the candidates of the saint city lord’s disciple, you must be stronger than the common riffraff? Are you interested in a duel?”

Meng Xiang measuredly gazed at Zhong Yue and guffawed in disdain, “You can’t possibly be like the useless Yu Xuanji right? In order to become the closed door disciple of the saint city lord, how can you not possess prowess strong enough to convince others? Brother Long Yue, I’m not fond of you, do you care to have a duel with me?”

Yu Xuanji quickly shook his head and said lowly, “Brother Long Yue, don’t fall for it!”

Zhong Yue sneered and he said with nonchalant contempt, “You’re not worth my time, just go back and tell Heavenly Monster Li Jun that I’ll battle with him tomorrow on the city wall! He no longer needs to continue with this pathetic farce”

Meng Xiang and Meng She gazed at each other and saw the sinister smiles in their eyes before turning to leave. Their voices were indifferent, “Challenging the Heavenly Monster? Good ... we will grant you your death wish!”

Hu Qimei was worried, “Brother Long Yue, the Heavenly Monster is very strong….”

“Qimei need not say much, if I don’t answer his call for battle, you would all be pushed to your deaths before your teachers could arrive.”

Zhong Yue lifted his hand and said, “But if I accept his wish for battle, then there wouldn’t be any reason for the monsters to continue to stir trouble with you before his death. The saint city lord will only act again once you leave the saint city. When your teachers arrive, the tense situation now would ease up at least somewhat.”

Yu Xuanji said diffidently, “But the Heavenly Monster Li Jun is strong, really….”

Zhong Yue responded nonchalantly, “Just a little bug, I’ll kill him tomorrow on the city wall.”

Hu Qimei and Yu Xuanji looked at one another, their eyes became filled with worry.

In the garden backyard of the saint city lord’s manor, Heaven Monster Li Jun was smiling warmly. He gently sniffed on the fresh flowers and said, “Long Yue is challenging me? Good ... very good, you have all done well. So now, even if I killed Long Yue publicly, not a single Qi Practitioner would be able to say anything at all. They will realize that only I can be the saint city lord’s closed door disciple. They’ll never say that I was acting out of jealousy and have no room in my heart for other talented ones.”

Meng She smiled and said, “Li Jun, why did you have to trouble yourself to kill him? I could’ve just kill that Long Yue brat myself!”

Heaven Monster Li Jun shook his head, he turned around and his lips blossomed into a smile that overshadowed all the flowers in the garden, “I need the name as the closed door disciple, and my reputation must be unmarred by any unsavory specks of dirt. Which is why I want to do it in publicly front of every monster, killing Long Yue fair and square. Also, this is not only my wish, it is also my master’s.”

“The master?”

Meng She and Meng Xiang’s hearts shuddered in shock, they exclaimed out involuntarily, “The saint city lord….”

“Long Yue is of the dragon race of the East Ocean. And if the master was to take a dragon in as his disciple, wouldn’t it mean that he has tacitly agreed to allow the dragon race in planting their forces into the East Barren? The optics of such a scenario wouldn’t look very good, would it?”

Heaven Monster Li Jun walked forward and said inconsistently, “The East Barren exists beside the East Ocean, and master has already put up his vigilance against the dragon race, so how could he possibly let a dragon be his disciple and inherit his arts? That’s why he has allowed me to instruct you all to raise a ruckus in the lord’s manor. He is more than willing to let me kill him. Not only does Long Yue have to die, but so do Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei. As long as they are alive, there will always be a possibility that the【Monster God Ming King Art】will leak out. After I’ve killed Long Yue, it’d then be their turn to die.”

Meng She and Meng Xiang followed behind him, he raised his hand and said smilingly, “The two of you may leave now, gather the other Qi Practitioners and spread the word of Long Yue challenging me to a battle, let the whole city know. And tomorrow, I’ll let all of the monster race witness how I will crush the dragon to death under my palms! This is my battle of slaughtering a dragon, the world will come to know my name through this battle!”

He said leisurely, “However, he is after all a dragon race, a foe who is deserving of my respect. Thus, I will clean and wash myself, cleanse off the dirt, and grant him a sensational death.”

Meng She and Meng Xiang left, they went for Heavenly Monster Li Jun’s friends to spread the words out.

Heavenly Monster Li Jun had a wide circle of acquaintances, and soon, the word had already spread throughout the entire saint city like an epidemic. The words were all the same, Long Yue of the East Ocean dragon race had challenged the Heavenly Monster Li Jun into a duel for the position of the saint city lord’s closed door disciple. It soon became the hottest topic in all of the discussions, gossips and even arguments.

The Heavenly Monster Li Jun was the publicly acknowledged as the most handsome male publicly throughout the whole East Barren, with the consensus also being that he was the strongest expert in the level of Rebirth. While this Long Yue was from the East Ocean dragon race, the dragon race didn’t belong to the monster race; it was a godly saint race that ruled the East Ocean. The fact that a dragon was challenging the Heavenly Monster Li Jun gave rise to exasperations among the monster especially the female monsters, inciting them to unreservedly show their spite towards Long Yue and to adopt him as their greatest foe!

Many female monsters walked the streets, inquiring the identity of this Long Yue and his location, with the strong urge to battle him in place of Heaven Monster Li Jun!

Xian Kong Saint City – in a private on the topmost floor of the Tian Fu Restaurant, Lang Qingyun’s countenance changed slightly. Abruptly, he turned to a man with lofty and steep horns beside him, and asked smilingly, “Brother Ao, who knew we would be met with such an interesting event just right when you’ve arrived at Xian Kong City. Has Brother Ao heard of this Long Yue?”

“Long Yue? Nope.”

The horned Qi Practitioner gently shook his head and responded, “The dragons in our East Ocean adopt ‘Ao’ as our surname; while the other species with surnames of ‘Jiao’, ‘Chi’, ‘Yu’, and ‘Po’, are dragons of a lower level. As for taking ‘Long’ as a surname ... that is very rare. This Long Yue has run over to the East Barren, and is trying to be the monster saint city lord’s closed door disciple, challenging the Heavenly Monster Li Jun — he has piqued my interest...:”

Lang Qingyun’s eyes flashed and said smilingly, “In that case, I shall bring Brother Ao together with me to the duel tomorrow. A battle between a dragon and a monster, it truly is an interesting event. Furthermore, I have some suspicions about this Long Yue who seemingly emerged out of nowhere, I beseech Brother Ao’s assistance in identifying his origins.”

The horned Qi Practitioner smiled and said, “Alright, sure, I’m also very eager to meet this dragon of the East Ocean who has managed to forge out a section of the sky for himself in this East Barren!”
