Chapter 118: Then Come Attack Me

Miamiamia.

Ling Yi ate together with Little Fox.

Originally, he ate quite gracefully and was a bit particular about cleanliness, but seeing Little Fox eat so heartily, he unconsciously got dragged along.

Hu Xiaoxian had started eating the moment she entered and had been eating until now, yet her little belly was still flat. No one knew where all the food went. An outsider might think she hadn’t eaten for a year.

Luo Xue and Diwu Qianqian watched the two eat from the side.

Everyone was watching them eat.

A young man in his thirties from the Goatee group sneered mockingly, “Eating like they’ve never seen food in eight lifetimes. Fine, at least they’ll be full ghosts.”

No one paid him any mind.

So what if they were sect disciples?

There were quite a few sect disciples present today.

Besides the diplomatic mission members, nearly everyone else was from various sects.

The protective sect of Chu State was the Carefree Sect, but there were many sects on good terms with Chu.

Everyone was quietly waiting for the people behind Ling Yi to appear.

So, eating? Let them eat.

“Don’t just focus on the meat, have some seafood. We don’t usually get to eat this. Look how fresh this seafood is! How big!” Ling Yi looked at the various meats on Hu Xiaoxian’s plate and reminded her kindly. Then he looked toward Lu Qingming’s direction. “This seafood was all shipped from Great Qin’s Eastern Sea City, right? So fresh. Thank you, Grand Tutor Lu, for today’s generous hospitality. Before I kill you later, I’ll definitely treat you to a seafood feast from Great Qin’s Eastern Sea City!”

Everyone: “…”

This guy was insane!

Lu Qingming’s face turned cold, and he said nothing.

At that moment, Ling Yi received a message on his phone—the plane had taken off.

The plane taking off didn’t necessarily mean it was completely safe yet.

But it seemed Lu Qingming probably wouldn’t try anything with the diplomatic mission.

All his energy was focused here in the banquet hall, with no attention to spare elsewhere.

Besides, letting the diplomatic mission return had been part of the plan from the start.

Killing them all in one go wasn’t much fun. Making them live in endless fear was much more satisfying.

Ling Yi casually cracked open a huge crab shell, peeled out the tender crab meat inside, and handed it to Luo Xue. “Here, have a bite.”

Luo Xue’s face flushed slightly, but she opened her mouth.

“Slut!” The Goatee man’s eyes flashed with coldness as he glared furiously at Luo Xue and Ling Yi.

The young man in his thirties stood up directly and walked over.

Those who had been getting sleepy suddenly weren’t sleepy anymore.

Everyone’s spirits lifted.

Was it finally starting?

The seven people from the Carefree Sect remained calm, appearing very patient as they stood there watching quietly.

The young man from the Qingshan Sect, in his thirties, walked up to Luo Xue and spoke coldly, “Young Madam, had enough fun?”

Smack!

A huge crab shell was slapped directly onto his face.

This Golden Body Realm youth couldn’t react at all. His face was smashed by the crab shell, blood flowing freely.

“Everyone else can wait, but you can’t? Why are you so impatient? Have some seafood to cool down!” Ling Yi picked up a napkin and wiped his hands vigorously.

His hands smelled of seafood; he’d have to wash them properly later.

From the Qingshan Sect side, led by the Goatee, seven or eight people sprang to their feet, ready to charge over.

The Goatee gave a low cough.

Those seven or eight people immediately sat back down, but their faces were filled with rage.

The Goatee picked up the red wine glass in front of him, took a sip, then wiped his hands forcefully with a napkin. He tossed the napkin aside casually and said calmly, “Injure one of mine, I kill your whole family.”

No one thought he was joking.

In the eyes of those who truly understood the cultivation world, the Qingshan Sect wasn’t the top-tier, but it was one of the most troublesome sects.

Such viciousness and aggression had always been their specialty.

No one expected that today, one of their members would be taken down with just a crab shell.

And in front of so many people. If they could swallow this insult, they wouldn’t be the Qingshan Sect.

Ling Yi glanced at the Goatee, then sat down, lifting one long leg and stomping on the thigh of the young man who was still lying on the ground and hadn’t gotten up.

Crack!

A jarring sound of bone breaking accompanied the young man’s howl of pain.

The bone was fractured.

“Kill my whole family? I had my whole family killed when I was little, and my adoptive father killed after I grew up. Threats like this aren’t new to me, little goat. If you have the guts, come attack me now. I’ll beat you to death right away. Then I’ll wait for your Qingshan Sect to come kill my whole family.”

Bang!

The Goatee slammed his palm onto the table in front of him.

The table instantly shattered into pieces.

Soups and liquids splattered all over the floor.

Cups, plates, bowls, and utensils clattered to the ground, creating a chaotic noise.

Like a signal, several Qingshan Sect members instantly lunged at Ling Yi.

A flash of blue light.

The bodies of those who lunged suddenly burst into flames. Amidst their screams, they were burned to skeletons in an instant.

Just like that night outside Spring City when the beast tide came.

Lu Qingming’s eyes suddenly shot out a dazzling light as he stared sharply at Ling Yi.

The seven Carefree Sect members also expanded their spiritual sense in that instant.

They tried to locate the source of this bizarre blue light!

But…

It was useless.

Every single person in the hall saw nothing of where that blue light came from.

The remaining two Qingshan Sect disciples and the Goatee elder all stood there frozen, their eyes filled with boundless terror.

“I’m suffocating in here,” the Enchantress grumbled in Ling Yi’s mind. “So much dawdling! Just kill them all! Kill as many as come, why so much talk?”

“How many times can the energy from one vein last you if you kill like that? Not planning to live frugally?” Ling Yi retorted.

“Better than being meek and getting bullied! Besides, isn’t Chu State quite wealthy? Ask your Sister Yu for it! If not, we’ll go rob it ourselves!” the Enchantress replied.

“…”

Ling Yi looked up at the Goatee. “Get out.”

Goatee glared at him.

Ling Yi looked at him and said in a calm tone, “Before things become completely beyond saving, get lost. Don’t show up again looking for trouble. If you’re not blind or stupid, you should know that even if someone is to be killed, it’s not your turn!”

Goatee’s chest heaved violently; he was already furious inside.

How dare they look down on the Qingshan Sect like this!

When he entered the mundane world, he never imagined something like this would happen. He hadn’t brought anyone at the Dao Enlightenment Realm with him, so he was the only Daoist here.

As a result, he suffered a huge loss today.

And was looked down upon so much.

“It wasn’t much related to you all to begin with. Are you so used to bullying others that you can’t restrain yourself for a moment, causing a tragedy? Go back and reflect well.” Ling Yi looked at him and added another sentence.

At that moment, Goatee suddenly laughed. His smile was cold, and his voice seemed to crawl out from an ice crack—

“Ling Yi, I remember you.”

Ling Yi frowned. “Do you want to die too? Do you have to say what’s in your heart out loud? If you don’t say it, won’t others know you hate me? Before I change my mind, get as far away as you can! Also… go back and tell your sect members: if they want to cultivate, take the proper path. If they keep dabbling in crooked methods, be careful that one day I come for them. The Five Elements Dao Body—is that something trash like you can touch? Get lost.”

Goatee seemed frozen in place. He sat there, appearing to gaze coldly at Ling Yi, but upon closer look, his eyes were filled with fear.

Only when the two remaining men beside him shakily stood up and tried to help him to his feet did Goatee snap out of it. He stood up and walked out without a word.

“Young Master, don’t leave me… don’t leave me behind!”

The man in his thirties, still with crab shells stuck to his face and his leg bones crushed, lay there wailing.

Goatee paused his steps and glanced at the two trembling men beside him.

With no other choice, the two men braced themselves and came over to drag the young man away.

The group left in disgrace, like stray dogs.

The banquet hall in the State Preceptor’s Mansion was dead silent!

That was the Qingshan Sect!

Those were sect disciples at the Golden Body Realm!

And just like that, they were burned into a few piles of white bones, lying on the hall floor.

Since when did sect disciples suffer such misery in the mundane world?

Many people’s gazes toward Ling Yi had shifted from seeing a dead man to seeing a demon king.

The key was, this guy was still eating!

God!

Were you infected by your Fox Spirit?

“It’s really delicious.” Ling Yi looked at Luo Xue. “Especially the seafood from Eastern Sea City in our Great Qin. The flavor is so fresh! It’s completely different from what we eat in the Capital City.”

Luo Xue, now feeling much more at ease, raised an eyebrow. “Really? You’re making me crave some too. I want to eat that lobster. Will you peel it for me?”

Ling Yi looked at his own fishy hands and sighed. “Only for you…”

“Young Master, I want some too!” Hu Xiaoxian said weakly from the side.

Luo Xue smiled a half-smile.

Diwu Qianqian was utterly confused: This works?

So she tentatively, carefully said, “I… I want some too.”

Everyone: “…”

Mad!

They’re all mad!

Even the seven people from the Carefree Sect all looked speechlessly at Diwu Qianqian.

Girl, can you think a little?

But that Blue Light was too bizarre!

There was no way to track it.

They couldn’t even see where it came from. Would it be possible for them to take action against Ling Yi?

At that moment, the woman who had earlier intimidated Ling Yi with a beam of light shouted coldly, “Which senior is here? Please show yourself!”

Her clear, cold voice echoed through the banquet hall.

No one answered.

She spoke again, “Which senior is here? Please show yourself!”

Then, an old man with an immortal air beside her said, “Senior, for you to injure people in such a place and sever Great Chu’s Dragon Vein is going too far, isn’t it?”

The enchantress in Ling Yi’s mind said impatiently, “Tell him to get lost. If he keeps blabbering, I’ll kill him too.”

Ling Yi: “…”

Seeing no response, the old man continued, “Senior’s methods are profound and unpredictable. You must be at least at the Primordial Spirit Realm. The Cultivation World has rules: Primordial Spirit Realm experts must not interfere in mundane affairs. Senior, by doing this, you’re breaking the rules.”

“I am Song Guozi, seventeenth-generation successor of the Carefree Sect. I ask the senior to appear and give an explanation.”

“That way, when this junior returns to the sect and sees the Patriarch of Unity, I’ll have something to report.”

“Please do not make things difficult for this junior!”

“Please, senior, show yourself!”

Boom!

In the entire banquet hall, many people connected to the Cultivation World looked utterly shocked.

The Carefree Sect… had a Patriarch of Unity?

Really?

That was actually quite terrifying!

The Unity Realm, surpassing the Primordial Spirit Realm—it was said that upon reaching such a realm, one could travel a thousand miles instantly, command wind and rain, summon lightning, and was already like a half-god, even capable of traversing the Star Realm with one’s physical body!

In the mundane world, reaching Dao Enlightenment was called a great power, but in front of an existence at the Unity Realm, a Daoist was just a child!

Not even qualified to be a younger brother!

Actually, the Primordial Spirit Realm was already remarkable. One could project their spirit, leave their body, and travel a thousand miles. A powerful Primordial Spirit could take an enemy’s head amidst thousands of soldiers.

Even though projecting one’s spirit to kill consumed immense energy, this terrifying divine ability was enough to make people tremble.

It was invisible and left no trace, making it extremely hard to guard against.

Thus, even major sects were unwilling to easily offend a Primordial Spirit expert.

Often, it wasn’t that they couldn’t fight, but that they couldn’t defend!

If targeted by a Primordial Spirit, it almost certainly meant a tragic end.

But in front of Unity, Primordial Spirit was just a younger brother!

So Song Guozi of the Carefree Sect, seemingly naive, directly brought up his sect’s Unity Patriarch to intimidate the other side—

Don’t go too far; my family has strong backing too!

The enchantress laughed mockingly in Ling Yi’s mind, “Doesn’t he look like a kid who calls for his parent when he can’t win?”

Ling Yi replied, “He does, but I think I’m even worse. Wherever I go, I bring my parent along.”

“Pah, who’s your parent!” The enchantress spat. “Tell him to get lost. Don’t let him stay and be an eyesore.”

Ling Yi glanced at Song Guozi and said, “Stop shouting. You’re told to leave quickly. Don’t stir things up here.”

Song Guozi looked at Ling Yi with annoyance. “Junior, is it your place to speak here?”

Ling Yi gave him a surprised look. “Then come and hit me?”

Song Guozi: “…”
