Chapter 147: Arrogance

As soon as Feng Mingyan spoke, the entire hall suddenly fell silent.Su Jingzhen had not expected this fellow to directly make things difficult for him so soon after his arrival.

For a moment, Su Jingzhen was unsure whether this guy was targeting him specifically or using his status as the Grand Acolyte to provoke the Evil Moon Sect.

Perhaps within Linjiang City, the strength of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion could not match the Evil Moon Sect, but on the whole land of Qingzhou, the Treasure Gathering Pavilion was definitely stronger than the Evil Moon Sect.

As soon as they heard Feng Mingyan’s words, Luo Yuebai and several high-ranking members of the Evil Moon Sect around them all frowned.

But Luo Yuebai did not say much.

Before Su Jingzhen arrived, Feng Mingyan and others had already had some conversations with her.

And those previous conversations were not particularly pleasant.

Being new to the place, Feng Mingyan naturally wanted to establish a good relationship with the true controllers of Linjiang City, the Evil Moon Sect.

However, Luo Yuebai’s attitude towards him was lukewarm, showing no inclination to cooperate.

This made the proud Feng Mingyan quite displeased.

So Luo Yuebai and the others could understand that HE wanted to make trouble at this time.

Immediately, from the end of the row where Feng Mingyan and his group sat, a burly, muscular middle-aged man with a robust physique and bulging muscles stood up.

Earlier, Su Jingzhen’s attention was on Feng Mingyan and the others, so he had not noticed this man.

It is said that ordinary Body Cultivators are very conspicuous in the world of cultivation, and now he could see why.

This guy’s physique clearly showed he had undergone intense physical training. He was shirtless, and his muscles were extremely defined.

He walked directly to the center of the hall.

Looking at Su Jingzhen, he clasped his hands and said, “As a fellow Body Cultivator, I humbly request Acolyte Su for some guidance!”

Although his words were humble, his eyes were filled with provocation as he looked at Su Jingzhen.

Body Cultivation trains in the power of blood and qi, and their aura is often not apparent, so their level of cultivation cannot be discerned just by their appearance.

Thus, Su Jingzhen could not tell to what extent the cultivation of this towering man had reached.

But a saying from Shuang Jiang gave him quite a bit of confidence.

Such a person, who is clearly a Body Cultivator at a glance, would not be on the path of opening secret treasures but would be training their muscles, bones, and skin externally.

The most basic form of Body Cultivation.

Moreover, Su Jingzhen noticed that this guy was only sitting at the end of the row of Feng Mingyan’s people.

This indicated his status was not high, and in the world of cultivation, status is fought for with strength.

So he guessed that even if this guy was not an easy target, he was at most on par with him in the Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo stage.

He was definitely not at the level of a Flesh Body Golden Embryo.

On the same level, how could he, a proper Body Cultivator on the path of opening secret treasures, possibly fear a guy who only trains his muscles, bones, and skin externally?

The only concern he had was that he had activated the Bloodthirst secret technique a little over half an hour ago. At this moment, he was still exhausted and certainly couldn’t exert his full strength.

Seeing Su Jingzhen’s silence, a smile reappeared on Feng Mingyan’s lips.

“This is just a servant of mine. With your status, Acolyte Su, you should be able to educate him, right?” His words were laced with sarcasm.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Evil Moon Sect’s demonic cultivators suddenly turned cold. Their gazes towards Feng Mingyan became unfriendly.

Demonic cultivators are known for being unscrupulous. Although Su Jingzhen’s current silence made them feel somewhat embarrassed, Su Jingzhen was still their Evil Moon Sect’s Chief Acolyte.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall had become somewhat delicate because of this incident, Su Jingzhen sighed in his heart. He knew he had no choice but to step up and fight.

He then walked down from his position, stood in the center of the hall, with a slight smile on his lips.

“I rarely give others guidance, but since Pavilion Master Feng insists, I naturally have to oblige.”

At this moment, Su Jingzhen referred to himself as “I,” which seemed arrogant, but given his status as the Chief Acolyte of the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect, it was entirely appropriate.

Although he was not inclined to show off or be overly arrogant, he knew that he represented the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect at this moment.

On the surface, this was a spar between two Body Cultivators, but it was actually a contest between the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect and the Linjiang branch of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

One must adopt the appropriate attitude for the occasion. Su Jingzhen had never disappointed in this regard.

Since he had chosen Feng Qingya, there was no possibility of friendliness with Feng Mingyan’s side from the start. Therefore, it did not matter if he offended them right away.

“Since you are a servant, I should give you some leeway. You may strike first. Perhaps I can even give you a pointer or two,”

Su Jingzhen said with a smile, looking at the burly Body Cultivator in front of him with his hands behind his back.

As soon as he uttered these arrogant words, smiles appeared on the faces of the high-ranking members of the Evil Moon Sect around him. Seaʀch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The previous dissatisfaction completely vanished.

In their view, one must be arrogant and proud in front of the provocateurs!

This is the true nature of demonic cultivators!

【Remaining Points: 105】

At the same time, golden characters suddenly appeared before Su Jingzhen’s eyes.

This was naturally from Luo Yuebai.

Su Jingzhen was enhancing Luo Yuebai’s prestige, so these two points were not unexpected.

Su Jingzhen’s words completely ignited the fury in the heart of the Body Cultivator in front of him.

Although he was indeed Feng Mingyan’s servant, hearing it from Su Jingzhen was an insult.

Suppressing his anger, he revealed his identity: “I am Meng Li. Acolyte Su, be careful!”

As soon as he finished speaking, his blood qi surged, and he charged straight at Su Jingzhen with a stomp of his foot.

His right hand, already clenched into a fist, swung directly at Su Jingzhen’s face.

Before crossing over, Su Jingzhen had often heard of fists the size of sandpots but had never seen one. Now, with Meng Li, he finally did.

As Meng Li made his move, blood qi stirred, and Su Jingzhen sensed that Meng Li’s cultivation was indeed at the level of the Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo.

He was even one or two small levels higher than Su Jingzhen, likely around the sixth to seventh layer of the Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo.

Su Jingzhen’s own blood qi surged. His right hand’s Laogong acupoint suddenly pulsed, and he too clenched his fist.

For the first strike, he chose not to retreat!

Utilizing the explosive power of the body’s secret repositories, Su Jingzhen had no fear when facing a non-orthodox Body Cultivator of a similar level.

“Their sizes are not proportionate. With such skinny arms and legs, how can he even think of shaking a giant tree?”

“Heh, I wonder if his strength matches his arrogance.”

Feng Mingyan’s group all had cold smiles on their faces.

They were confident in Meng Li. Though his status among them was not high, his strength was not at the bottom.

“Boom!”

As everyone had their own thoughts, the large and small fists of Su Jingzhen and Meng Li clashed fiercely!
