Chapter 851: Goddamn Busybodies

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Human beings had been social animals since ancient times. The existence of societies often represented the existence of standpoints. For example, you could be unique, but you couldn’t take on a different standpoint.

If an old lady was getting bullied by a few punks and everyone was just watching at the side, then you wouldn’t get into too much trouble for joining the bystanders and even sneering at the old lady.

However, if everyone was fighting against the punks and you chose to be an onlooker or even said something like ‘You goddamn busybodies…”, you would be in big trouble.

In the best case scenario, they would beat you up and spit on you. In the worst-case scenario, they might throw you into the river or show you why flowers were red.

Ling Yun Tower…

Was in such an awkward position at the moment.

Although Ling Yun Tower was well-respected as one of the Five Sects of the Holy Region, people would still be unhappy if they chose to by onlookers while everyone else was working together.

The name of this unhappiness was public outrage!

“Tower Master, what should we do?” The woman in a red dress standing behind Qian Yu obviously felt a sense of crisis when she saw the unfriendly gazes.

‘Little bastard, how dare you sabotage me!’ Qian Yu was obviously angry, but that wouldn’t change a thing because Fang Zhengzhi’s words had already left her stranded in a bad position

‘Do I really have to let this little bastard lead me by the nose?’

Qian Yu was obviously unwilling to accept that. After all, it wasn’t just the issue of her personal image. It also concerned Ling Yun Tower’s status.

The logic was simple…

Now that it had come to this, she couldn’t save Ling Yun Tower from its awkward position just by sending a few disciples out.

After all, everyone would feel that Ling Yun Tower wasn’t truly their ally and they only joined the rest because they didn’t have a choice.

‘What should I do?’

Many solutions went through Qian Yu’s mind. However, she quickly rejected them until she eventually fixated on one solution.

However, after she decided to do that, Qian Yu really had an urge to kill Fang Zhengzhi. Nevertheless, she must do it in order to maintain Ling Yun Tower’s reputation.

She was extremely angry!

Yet, she had to pretend to be calm.

“You can’t even take down a mere Nangong Hao with the combined forces of so many sects and Four Sects of the Holy Region? Ai… The Holy Region is no longer the same as before!” Qian Yu stood up and glanced around the surrounding area as she exuded an arrogant aura.

The surrounding disciples were startled when they heard her. Even Mu Qingfeng’s, Mo Shanshi’s, and the other Holy Region’s personnel’s expressions changed.

After all, that was the same as saying that they were useless.

“Damn it!”

“She is obviously afraid of sacrificing her disciples, yet she could still sound so righteous?”

“That’s right. Ling Yun Tower is nothing but talk!”

The disciples weren’t stupid. They could definitely tell that she was making fun of them.

However, they shut up very quickly because the disciples standing behind Qian Yu walked out.

Ling Yun Tower had always held a special position in the Five Sects of the Holy Region.

That wasn’t because Ling Yun Tower only had female disciples. It was because Ling Yun Tower was strong enough to frighten the rest.

At this very moment…

Dozens of Ling Yun Tower’s disciples stepped out. They were neatly arranged and walking in unison. It was their imposing manner that shut those disciples’ mouths.

“To be honest, I really didn’t want to take part in this messy fight because it would degrade ourselves. Why don’t all of you back off? Ling Yun Tower could take down Nangong Hao alone!” They heard Qian Yu’s voice at this moment again. She looked extraordinarily cold and sounded exceptionally dominating.

“…”

“Didn’t want to take part in this messy fight?”

“Degrade ourselves?!”

The surrounding disciples were enraged. However, their anger was different from their ‘hostility’ just now, because they were angered by Ling Yun Tower’s arrogance.

However, it was true that Ling Yun Tower had always acted arrogantly in the Holy Region. Hence, although they were angry, they weren’t surprised.

Most importantly…

Everyone soon realized that Ling Yun Tower wasn’t actually unwilling to work with them. They were just unwilling to fight alongside them because they were too scornful of the rest.

They were angry, but they couldn’t do anything about it.

That was how everyone felt at the moment.

“Smart move, auntie!” Fang Zhengzhi’s lips moved again. At the meantime, he also blinked at Qian Yu and gave her a thumbs up.

Qian Yu naturally noticed Fang Zhengzhi’s movement and lip talking, but she disregarded him. She just turned her head to the side and scoffed. Then, she looked up towards Nangong Hao, who was surrounded by countless snow-white flowers.

“Seven Moon-gazing Stars, Incinerate Everything!”

“Yes!” The dozens of disciples who walked out replied uniformly to Qian Yu and quickly set up their formation.

Dozens of Ling Yun Tower’s disciples separated into eight groups almost instantly. They aligned themselves according to the Big Dipper and stood on the positions of the seven stars respectively.

There was a round ‘moon’ above the stars.

Since it was called ‘Seven Moon-gazing Stars’, the focal point of their attacks was obviously the ‘moon’ that was formed by several women in red dresses. The seven other stars were the sources of power for the moon.

Buzz!

An inferno rose up and started spreading from one of the stars. The flame lit up the moon almost immediately.

It was crimson.

It was a crimson moon that was covered in flames.

The surrounding disciples intuitively took a few steps back when they felt its mighty aura. All of them looked shocked and horrified.

“There are dozens of disciples, but they are using the same Dao!”

“Is that Ling Yun Tower?”

“It’s just like the legends. They are too powerful!”

Even if these disciples were still angry about Qian Yu’s words just now, they had ultimately decided to keep quiet after they witnessed this scene.

Ling Yun Tower was powerful!

In that case, what was wrong with being a little arrogant?

“Old man Mu, they are already shaming us to our faces. If we don’t show anything substantial, I’m afraid that people would laugh at Fu Xi Valley and Heaven Dao Pavilion for being useless!” Mo Shanshi clearly looked like he wouldn’t admit defeat as he glanced at the burning moon.

After all, he had dignity!

Fu Xi Valley had already lost in the Martial Arts Competition. If the others continued to look down on them in this battle, it would be hard for their disciples to stand tall in the Holy Region in the future.

Without much hesitation, he gave his order. Then, eight of Fu Xi Valley’s elders and over 100 disciples stepped out.

“Show Ling Yun Tower the difference between our formation and theirs!” Mo Shanshi continued without waiting for Mu Qingfeng’s response.

“Yes!” The 100 odd disciples replied immediately.

Then, they all took out a weapon that looked like a ‘silver hook’.

Cling cling cling!

Following the metallic clangs, all of Fu Xi Valley’s disciples connected their silver hooks together. Then, they started spreading out with their bodies as connection points.

Buzz! A silver radiance flashed.

Over 100 Fu Xi Valley’s disciples moved about rapidly but they didn’t seem to be stopping. However, as they moved around, they became a massive river formed completely by the silver hooks. It looked like a silver dragon dancing around.

There were eight Fu Xi Valley’s elders at the abdomen of the dragon. Each of them was holding a sharp-claw as a weapon.

“Die!” After a war cry, all of them rose into the air like a massive silver dragon that was soaring in the sky and charged towards Nangong Hao.

“Is that Fu Xi Valley’s formation?”

“Isn’t that too ridiculous? I always thought that formations are inanimate, but I have never expected Fu Xi Valley’s formation… To be a live formation that could transform freely?!”

“This is a totally a godly technique. Could formations actually do that?”

It was impossible for the surrounding disciples to be completely unfazed. After all, it was the first time they saw such a formation.

“This is the Eight-clawed Silver Dragon Formation, please excuse us!” Mo Shanshi glanced at the silver dragon in the sky and looked towards Qian Yu. His lips subconsciously curled into a smile. After all, it was definitely overly insulting for them to show off their formation in front of Fu Xi Valley.

“Ai…” Mu Qingfeng obviously saw Fu Xi Valley ‘taking the lead’. He felt bitter because he was obviously intelligent enough to tell that Fang Zhengzhi was the driving force behind these developments.

However, what could he do?

He couldn’t do anything to stop. In fact, he even had to pretend to be oblivious and follow suit.

“108 Swords Formation!”

“Yes!”

With Mu Qingfeng’s order, 108 Heaven Dao Pavilion’s disciples rushed out. Every one of them was holding a long sword with a chilling glitter.

As the swords moved, the dragon’s roars never stopped.

It was like the neverending waves. One after another, the waves kept pushing forward with a chilling swordwill.

“Such a powerful swordwill!”

“Heaven Dao Pavilion truly lives up to its name as the top sword-wielding sect!”

“We are incomparable to the strength of the Five Sects of the Holy Region after all…”

The surrounding disciples intuitively cleared a path for Heaven Dao Pavilion’s disciples after they felt the never-ending waves of powerful swordwill.

So far, three out of the Five Sects of the Holy Region had unleashed their true capabilities.

Fang Zhengzhi’s smile grew more dazzling when he saw this. After all, he loved watching such exciting battles.

If he had to describe with a phrase, it would be…

‘There’s value in authenticity’.

“Let’s go. Where’s Yin Yang Hall? I thought there are five sects in the Holy Region? Dao Hun, Dao Xin, the two of you didn’t become cowards at this moment, right? Show everyone Yin Yang Hall’s true capabilities!” Fang Zhengzhi started yelling again, completely unworried that things would get out of hand.

“He’s really a bastard!” Dao Hun clenched his fists tightly and his body jolted. His eyes were exuding a chilling gaze as well.

“He is truly a bastard, but we have to join the rest.” Dao Xin sounded calmer, but the chill in her eyes was definitely stronger.

“Does Yin Yang Hall really have to listen to him?”

“We’ve to listen to the correct advice. What’s ‘correct’ at the moment is killing Nangong Hao. This is for the sake of the world, and it has nothing to do with Fang Zhengzhi.”

“You’re right!” Dao Hun nodded softly after hearing her. Then, he slowly stood up and said, “Two Extremes of Yin Yang! Yang represents life and Yin represents death. Open the Twin Gates of Yin Yang with the two extremes of life and death!”

“Yes!” 88 Yin Yang Hall’s disciples quickly stepped out after heading Dao Hun’s orders and formed a giant Yin Yang Illustration hastily.

It was rotating!

As the Yin Yang Illustration rotated, numerous streams of radiance started spreading and covering those injured disciples. They immediately felt relieved and their wounds started healing rapidly.

“Thank you, Hallmaster Dao Hun!”

“Thank you, Hallmaster!”

The disciples obviously knew that it was Yin Yang Hall that healed their injuries, so they quickly thanked Dao Hun.

At the meantime, the gigantic Yin Yang Illustration started rotating again.

A light pillar that was black as ink soared into the sky and split into multiple black pillars. Each of them gave off an extremely chilling aura.

“The Dark Pillars of Death!”

“Are those Yin Yang Hall’s Dark Pillars of Death?”

“They are so powerful!”

The surrounding disciples felt a chill down their spine when they saw the black pillars and felt their chilling aura.

“Two Extremes of Yin Yang? Gates of Life and Death?” Fang Zhengzhi looked towards the massive Yin Yang Illustration. However, he could see more than just the Dark Pillars of Death.

It was a special path that was flowing on every Yin Yang Hall’s disciple. The paths kept running into each other, but they fused together creepily in the end.

“Interesting!” Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes lit up. Then, he turned towards Nine Pinnacles Mountain instead.

Coincidentally…

Nine Pinnacles Mountain’s current leader, Bai Fei, was looking at him as well. Furthermore, his lips were moving as if he was saying something in lip language.
