Chapter 47 - Trials Liusha Sea Area 3

Liusha Sea City Oasis.

“It’s you.”

Jiang Tang heard the voice from behind, never expecting that Huang Chen was like a sticking plaster, a proper stealthy jackal!

Accompanied by a red-robed female disciple, along with his crowd of disciples, he stood sneering behind him.

Even a fool could understand, Huang Chen harbored ill intentions towards him.

“Jiang Tang, run fast.”

The red-robed girl knew the malicious intent of Huang Chen and his group, wanting to eliminate Jiang Tang to obtain the Xuanming Spiritual Fire, that exotic flame.

Realizing she couldn’t stop Huang Chen and his disciples’ malicious intent by herself,

she felt obliged to warn Jiang Tang, not wanting to let nightmares haunt his future cultivation.

“Junior Sister, you…”

Huang Chen’s eyes also held viciousness towards the sect’s disciple; he flattered their master, having received many spirit stones from the family to coach him.

That opportunity allowed him to become an elder brother, taking this beautiful junior sister and a bunch of brothers out for experience.

He had long desired to be the junior sister’s dao companion, yet never expected her to be so proud and aloof, always ignoring him.

During this excursion, he and his brothers had dug many pits.

So often, they were almost sabotaged by the junior sister.

This time, she was aiding Jiang Tang, whom she had just met, filling Huang Chen with a desire to get rid of her first.

This woman was always going against the grain.

As the red-robed girl warned him, Jiang Tang’s awareness sharpened as he surveyed these people, preparing to invoke his magical treasure and activate Wind-racing Step.

With a single glance from Huang Chen, his disciples understood and surrounded Jiang Tang; when they had arrived, they had already planned to track and eliminate him, to take his magical treasure.

“Thinking of escaping?

No chance, even if you had wings, you couldn’t fly.”

“Hahaha”

Huang Chen laughed heartily, and his disciples joined in the laughter, while only the red-robed girl stamped her feet anxiously.

“Despicable villain.”

Jiang Tang’s eyes flashed fiercely, no wonder Eryao always said he was too honest, too easy to bully.

If I do not offend others, they won’t offend me.

Such a thought is only for gentlemen, fools.

In the Otherworld Continent, Jiang Tang, a university student from a law-abiding society, never thought that in this space-time, even if you do not offend others, they will still offend you.

Only the strong could survive, and at this moment, the only option was to fight…

Jiang Tang was not afraid of death, but he was tired of being constantly trapped by others.

Even the Buddha would be enraged!

In Jiang Tang’s space, Eryao, who was asleep, seemed to sense Jiang Tang’s anger, his ears twitching, but he was too tired to open his eyes.

“Dad, someone is trying to bully you again!

Sigh…

Eryao wanted to wake up and help, but was simply too tired, powerless without spiritual power.

“Moo…” Little Blue Ox got up from lying down, jumping up.

“Say whatever you want, but I must obtain Xuanming Spiritual Fire today.”

Huang Chen’s eyes not only held ambition, but he looked at Jiang Tang like he was a dead man.

Just thinking about the Xuanming Spiritual Fire, essential for alchemy, artifact refining, and talisman crafting, intensified his desire.

Huang Chen wanted to become the most powerful cultivator, the leader of the strongest continent.

“You want to get your hands on Xuanming Spiritual Fire?

First, let you taste this kind of flame.”

With a cold smirk on his face, Jiang Tang swiped his hand to harness the Qianji Fire.

In an instant, flames surrounded Huang Chen and a few disciples, leaving only the red-robed girl outside the fiery circle.

The oasis turned into a sea of red flames.

“What is this?

Aaahhh!”

Huang Chen and his disciples, engulfed by Qianji Fire, felt unbearable heat, their bones scorched by the flames.

They attempted to resist with their magical treasures but found they couldn’t use their spiritual power; the Spiritual Fire immobilized them like fish boiling in a pot, unable to jump out.

The red-robed girl was stunned by the sudden events, never anticipating the fire to be so fierce.

She loathed her fellow disciples, yet she didn’t want them to suffocate to death within the sect.

“Young Master Jiang Tang, what are you doing…?”

Terror flickered in the eyes of the girl in red.

“Jiang Tang, if you kill us, the sect will hold you accountable.”

Huang Chen, burning in agony, clenched his teeth so hard they could shatter.

He was accustomed to being overbearing and couldn’t submit even now, his words still carried a threat.

“We’re not afraid; didn’t we come here prepared to face death?

Our North City Immortal Sect isn’t a cowardly lot.”

Jiang Tang figured that as a servant disciple, he was still a disciple of the North City Immortal Sect, wasn’t he?

Coming here was a mission from the sect; surely they wouldn’t neglect him?

“You…

let us go, please.”

“I’m begging you…

it hurts.”

The brothers really couldn’t bear the pain and started to plead for mercy.

“You want me to spare you, huh, when just moments ago you wished me dead?

Come on, bring it on.”

Jiang Tang laughed arrogantly, realizing that bullying others was indeed enjoyable; little wonder he had been bullied by others time and again.

Could bullying be addictive?

He could feel the excitement of the Qianji Fire, as the scent of flesh charring added a strange fragrance to the air.

Huang Chen cast a scornful glance at his spineless fellow brothers.

Fearing death himself, he then thought of his only lifeline.

“Little sister, I beg you, speak on our behalf!”

The girl in red saw her fellow brothers’ faces redden from the roasting flames, their exposed skin all reddened.

She feared they would turn to cooked meat.

After all, they were from the same sect, and her kind heart prevailed once more.

“Young Master Jiang Tang, Xiangxiang begs you, please release my fellow brothers.”

The pleading in Cai Xiangxiang’s eyes made her naturally polite demeanor ripple with a tender expression, underscoring her youthful beauty.

Jiang Tang was fond of Cai Xiangxiang; the earlier warning and her defiance of her delinquent brothers proved this woman’s kindness.

In the cutthroat world of cultivation, such women were a rare breed.

He felt a touch of sympathy.

He slightly diminished the Qianji Fire that encircled the group.

Huang Chen and his brothers felt the relief, their bodies not quite as tormented by pain.

They believed appealing to their junior sister had been the right move.

“Little sister, it hurts…”

The group, once proud and bullying brothers, now wailed and pleaded, their cries stirring Cai Xiangxiang’s compassion to the point of tears.

“Young Master Jiang Tang, please let them go.

I assure you they won’t offend you in the future.”

“This…” Jiang Tang was torn between releasing them and satisfying his reluctance to seem like someone who could be trifled with, struggling to get even for the abuse.

To not let them go would be to appear uncompassionate, but after all, he was a college student who had lived in a law-abiding society for so many years, with a foundation of honesty and decency still intact.

“Great hero, we beg you for mercy.”

“Great hero, please spare us.”

Huang Chen watched his brothers plead, biting his lip, his arrogance preventing him from letting go of his pride.

He vowed in his heart to avenge this humiliation.

“Jiang Tang the Great, I’m begging you.”

The girl in red’s tearful cry made Jiang Tang relent, silently softening for a moment.

“Jiang Tang the Great.”

Cai Xiangxiang knelt on the ground, knowing she would be held accountable if her brothers died.

“Quick, get up.”

Jiang Tang moved to help Cai Xiangxiang.

“Young Master,”

“I’ve agreed to release them.”

Jiang Tang helped Cai Xiangxiang to her feet.

Upon hearing Jiang Tang’s words, Huang Chen and his fellow brothers felt a surge of joy in their hearts.

Jiang Tang silently sighed, and with a wave of his hand, he withdrew the Qianji Fire.
