Chapter 55 Scared Peeless

Only 74 people? Brother Cheng was a bit displeased. What’s the deal with looking down on him with so few people? "Let’s go see." When everyone rushed to the entrance of the main hall, the enemies were already right in front of them. "Damn, it’s Long Zhen Mountain, the Patriarch of the Dragon-Surprised Family!" Lin Ning’s expression changed. The Dragon-Surprised Family had previously gone to the Lin Family to propose marriage. Of course, the Lin Family did not want to send such a rare talent away. Once she’s married off, she wouldn’t belong to the Lin Family anymore. But they couldn’t defy them. This time, Lin Ning came to join the sect, actually also as a means of escape. Who knew they’d come knocking so soon? "Sect Leader, maybe he’s here because of me. How about I go back with him? That way, he might retreat the troops." Jiang Cheng wasn’t interested in what had happened between them and didn’t bother to pry into the details. He just gave Lin Ning a surprised glance. Come on, little girl, we can just sweep them aside, no need for such self-sacrificing melodrama. "This has nothing to do with you. Stand back." He waved his hand. "On the other side, who sent you guys?" After Long Zhen Mountain arrived, he released his Divine Sense to investigate everywhere. He also felt that there must be some big killer in the Feixian Sect. It’s best to be cautious. After seeing Lin Ning, a hint of concealed killing intent flashed in his eyes, but he didn’t let it explode on the spot. "So you are that Jiang Cheng? Your actions defy the natural order and rile up public anger..." Enough! Upon hearing his endless nonsense, Jiang Cheng realized he wouldn’t get anything out of him. If no answers could be found, that was that. "Sect Guardian Spirit Beast, come clean up this mess!" Sect Guardian Spirit Beast? The Second Generation Elders were quite expectant, while the Third Generation disciples looked at each other in confusion. They didn’t even know the sect had a Guardian Spirit Beast. "Kid, aren’t you very powerful?" "What? At the crucial moment, you still need grandpa to step in personally?" Jiang Cheng curled his lips. To him, taking down these 74 people from the Dragon-Surprised Family was easy; getting killed once would do it. But that would be far from elegant. This is at the Feixian Sect, with so many disciples watching. Getting killed on the spot by the opponent, wouldn’t that reduce his prestige? Even if he could spin some nonsense and say the Sect Leader was just pretending to play dead afterward, the image points would still take a hit due to the bloodshed. What if the disciples stopped idolizing him? For Brother Cheng, who loved to show off and valued face, that was the most important thing. So, this time he let the Three-Eyed Tiger take over. "Alright, alright, get it done early and be done with it." Thousands of miles away, Qi Cang, Lu Zhong, and others had their eyes widened. As the cannon fodder testing the waters, Long Zhen Mountain was carrying a Transmission Spirit Artifact, so they could see real-time footage of the Feixian Sect. They could even hear the sounds. "There it is!" "Is that the Tiger Demon?" "That size, isn’t it a bit too small? Just this?" Everyone couldn’t help but rub their eyes, full of doubt. Even Qi Cang was no exception. Is this the thing I’ve been wary of all along? "It’s absolutely true, that’s the Tiger Demon! My fourth brother Duanmu Pool was killed by it!" Duanmu Zhe had witnessed it firsthand. Seeing the Three-Eyed Tiger, he had an illusion—the Tiger Demon seemed to know he was spying on it! This illusion made his hair stand on end, and he wished he could flee immediately. Meanwhile, at Feixian Sect, the Third Generation disciples were utterly speechless. So our Feixian Sect’s Guardian Spirit Beast is just this small? This would barely suffice as a mascot, let alone scaring people. And relying on it to slay enemies? Long Zhen Mountain was still going on and on. Of course, he wanted to destroy the Feixian Sect and take Lin Ning back. But, like any old fox, he wouldn’t act thoroughly until he probed the truth, leaving some room for retreat. If he found the Feixian Sect to be mediocre, he would then unleash a massacre. At that time, he promised to be more brutal and ruthless than anyone else. Then his head flew into the sky, and he saw his body under the neck spraying blood as it fell. Meanwhile, he also saw the bodies of the other 73 elites of the Dragon-Surprised Family he brought all falling. The Three-Eyed Tiger needed only one strike. To it, does Spirit Platform Realm, Split Soul Realm, Gathering Yuan Realm really matter? With a single swipe, everyone became headless bodies. Blood sprayed wildly, an unsightly scene. "Ah!" Thousands of miles away, Qi Cang let out a startled cry and dropped the Transmission Spirit Artifact in fright. He was scared. It wasn’t the gory scene that frightened him; he’d created such scenes himself. It was that among those killed, there were five in the Spirit Platform Realm, with Long Zhen Mountain being Spirit Platform Seventh Layer, only one layer less than him. Meaning, if he had just been facing the Three-Eyed Tiger, the result would have been the same. This mortally threatening psychological impact was different. He glanced at Lu Zhong, who was also pale, clearly just as shocked. Facing Qi Cang’s inquiry, he nodded solemnly. Meaning, yes, this Tiger Demon is at least Celestial Fate Ninth Layer! As for Master Jiuluo and others, they almost wet themselves in fright. The Feixian Sect actually has such a terrifying Sect Guardian Spirit Beast? Why didn’t you say so earlier? Are you kidding me? Now, they had one thought—to escape from here. Still attack the Feixian Sect? Are you trying to die faster? But leaving here required Qi Cang’s permission; otherwise, with Lu Zhong being Celestial Fate First Layer, they wouldn’t survive. Even if they miraculously escaped, could they escape the Eight Clouds Hall’s punishment? "Young Master, that Tiger Demon is something we absolutely cannot contend with!" "Exactly, we can’t handle this at all." "Please, Young Master, allow us to retreat..." They all knelt down and begged; this wasn’t being cannon fodder; this was serving themselves up on a plate. Qi Cang coldly swept a look across them. The stronger the Tiger Demon, the more determined he was to have it. Once he got that Tiger Demon, even his father would have to step aside for him; no one would be able to challenge him! "You don’t need to attack, just maintain the intimidation!" As long as these sects kept the encirclement, they could use the pretext of supporting to enter the Feixian Sect and righteously replace Jiang Cheng. Master Jiuluo was in tears: "We... intimidate the Tiger Demon? Is this a joke?" "Agree and you might not die, disagree and you will die immediately!" To Qi Cang, these people were merely tools; he didn’t care if they survived in the end. For a moment, the top experts of the remaining four houses and seven sects were chilled to the bone. On the other side, all present Third Generation disciples of Feixian Sect were also dumbfounded. Seventy-four experts of the Dragon-Surprised Family, with the weakest already at Soul Splitting Sixth Layer. To them, the Soul Splitting Realm was still quite distant. And they were wiped out in a single move? By that little cute pet? Not just them, but even the second generation, like Ji Linghan and Luo Yuan, found it hard to believe. They knew the Three-Eyed Tiger was formidable, but had no concrete idea how so. They’d only seen it act once, when it destroyed Duanmu Pool’s Divine Soul. Nowhere near as shocking as this time! "Sect... Sect Leader..." Quite a few female disciples timidly approached Jiang Cheng, as if only by being near him could they feel safe. The Three-Eyed Tiger was too brutal, and during this shocking period, their minds were a bit blank, even worrying that the Tiger Demon might go berserk and attack them too. Soon afterward, they heard Jiang Cheng’s discontented roar. "What are you doing?"
