Chapter 290: Chapter 278: Step into the 6th Level of Unity Realm, The Zhong Zhou Conference Begins! (4K)
“Young Sect Leader, with your talent to reach the seventh layer of the Void Refinement Realm in less than three hundred years and defeat all kinds of geniuses, it’s virtually a sure thing that you’ll marry the daughter of Star Pavilion.”
“Hehe, the Pavilion Master of Star Pavilion only has one daughter. Once he ascends to the Immortal Realm, the Young Sect Leader may even take over the Star Pavilion. By then, our Dragon Tiger Sect merging with Star Pavilion could sweep this realm.”
The Elders of the Dragon Tiger Sect surrounded the Young Sect Leader like stars around the moon, flattering him as much as possible.
Once the Dragon Tiger Sect and Star Pavilion were united in marriage, the Young Sect Leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect might become the most powerful figure in this realm.
When the Young Sect Leader heard the group of Elders, even those from the Unity Realm who were Supreme Elders, flattering him, he couldn’t help but feel elated.
Some people are born in Rome, and he was indeed such a person.
Suddenly, an Elder of the Dragon Tiger Sect said, “Young Sect Leader, look, isn’t that Tang Ling’er from Star Pavilion? Why is she with a strange man?”
The Young Sect Leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect looked in the direction the Elder was pointing and saw a fair-faced girl with a pert nose, dressed in an indigo immortal gown, introducing the architecture of Star Pavilion to a man.
The Young Sect Leader’s face slowly turned ashen.
What was Tang Ling’er’s status that she would act as a tour guide for someone else?
If it were not Tang Ling’er’s wish…
Moreover, Shen Xiaoyao seemed young and was laughing and talking with Tang Ling’er.
“Miss Tang, may I know who this young and promising man is?”
The Young Sect Leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect, with a group of Dragon Tiger Sect Elders, blocked Tang Ling’er, Shen Xiaoyao, and the lady in green, speaking in a displeased tone.
He had already regarded Tang Ling’er as his future partner. If she were to be snatched away by a random pretty face, where would he, the Young Sect Leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect, put his face?
“Hmph, that’s none of your business.”
Tang Ling’er ignored the Young Sect Leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect.
The lady in green transmitted her voice to Shen Xiaoyao: “This person is Zhang Sheng, the Young Sect Leader of Zhong Zhou’s second-largest Sect, the Dragon Tiger Sect, also a standout among Zhong Zhou’s younger generation. Try not to provoke him.”
The lady in green noticed Tang Ling’er’s fondness for Shen Xiaoyao but didn’t want Shen Xiaoyao to offend the Young Sect Leader Zhang Sheng because of it.
The Dragon Tiger Sect was also an ancient Sect in Zhong Zhou, second only to the Star Pavilion in heritage.
Although the overall strength of Star Pavilion was stronger than that of Dragon Tiger Sect, under normal circumstances, they would not engage in a fight to the death.
Star Pavilion, Dragon Tiger Sect, and Thousand Swords Manor, these three major Sects of Zhong Zhou, maintained a delicate balance.
In the eyes of the lady in green, Mount Shu’s strength was far inferior to that of the Dragon Tiger Sect. If Dragon Tiger Sect took action against Mount Shu in secret, Mount Shu could be faced with great disaster.
Zhang Sheng, seeing Tang Ling’er ignoring him, vented his anger on Shen Xiaoyao sarcastically, “With friends coming from afar, it’s only right for me, the Young Sect Leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect from Zhong Zhou, to entertain them. Young brother, which Sect are you from?”
“I am a disciple of Mount Shu.”
Shen Xiaoyao knew the Zhong Zhou Conference was about to start and couldn’t hide his origin, so he straightforwardly admitted it.
Zhang Sheng spoke with a malicious undertone: “Mount Shu? I have some impression. It has produced only two or three peerless geniuses. In the past few Zhong Zhou Conferences, Mount Shu hardly made an impression. I heard that they don’t even have many Unity Realm cultivators left. You from Mount Shu came to participate in the Zhong Zhou Conference mostly to broaden your horizons. It’s true, people from Mount Shu like you should indeed broaden your horizons in our Zhong Zhou, considering that the Sect Leader of Mount Shu is doomed to a quick defeat.”
Shen Xiaoyao clenched his fist. The other party could mock him, but not his master: “My master will certainly achieve a ranking.”
“Not even the Supreme Elder of our Dragon Tiger Sect is an opponent for the Sect Leader of Mount Shu, let alone my father.”
Zhang Sheng saw Shen Xiaoyao defending his master and took the opportunity to actively mock Lu Changsheng.
Shen Xiaoyao’s anger was fully ignited.
Even if the other party was the Young Sect Leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect, Shen Xiaoyao was not afraid of trouble.
Tang Ling’er, seeing Shen Xiaoyao annoyed at Zhang Sheng mocking his master, took hold of Shen Xiaoyao’s arm: “Let me take you to visit the Star Pavilion itself; ignore him.”
Tang Ling’er’s words calmed Shen Xiaoyao slightly.
The Zhong Zhou Conference would start soon; it was better not to cause any trouble for his master at this time.
“Ling’er…”
Zhang Sheng, with his jealousy flaring at witnessing Tang Ling’er’s closeness to Shen Xiaoyao, and with the Dragon Tiger Sect’s people in tow, was about to follow them but was stopped by the lady in green.
“That area ahead is an important place of our Star Pavilion. Even if you are the Young Sect Leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect, you can’t enter.”
“Damn it…”
Zhang Sheng ground his teeth.
Tang Ling’er was so nice to a person she’d barely met, even taking him to see the main pavilion of Star Pavilion.
“Young Sect Leader, what should we do now?”
“I will crush him completely in the Zhong Zhou Conference, rendering him a cripple. Let’s see if Ling’er will still fancy him then.”
Zhang Sheng’s eyes were filled with murderous intent.
One couldn’t kill easily in the Zhong Zhou Conference, as it could lead to enmity, but as long as Zhang Sheng controlled the situation, he could completely cripple Shen Xiaoyao’s cultivation, turning Shen Xiaoyao into a mortal.
Compared to the lengthy lives of those in the Unity Realm, a mortal’s existence is like an ant’s, quickly turning into a handful of yellow soil.
With his status as the Young Sect Leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect, even if he crippled Shen Xiaoyao, Mount Shu would hardly dare offend the Dragon Tiger Sect.
From above the Star Pavilion, a couple with middle-aged features looked down sharply, their gaze piercing through the clouds surrounding the pavilion, witnessing the scene unfolding below.
“Strange? Since when did Ling’er know that youngster?”
