Jidao Wusheng: I am invincible in my flesh and tear the weirdness apart with my bare hands

As soon as Ying Chen finished speaking, the steward of the Heavenly Demon Sect, who was in charge of announcing names, called out, "Qingxuan City has arrived! Please invite the City Lord of Qingxuan to the welcoming hall."

Then, a middle-aged scholar in blue robes with a fair complexion and no beard stepped out of the flying boat of Qingxuan City.

The scholar in blue ignored the Heavenly Demon Sect's reception, instead revealing a faint smile as he looked down at them and said, "Eagle Minister, aren't you coming back yet?"

Yingchen's body trembled slightly, as if he was wavering.

Zhang Lingshan observed the situation calmly without uttering a word.

at last.

Ying Chen shook his head and said, "City Lord, the young master has already expelled me from Qingxuan City and sent people to hunt me down. I have settled all grudges with Qingxuan City and have nothing to do with it anymore."

"Nonsense!"

The Lord of Qingxuan City gave a light rebuke and said, "You're just a child who doesn't know any better. Do you think I can just expel you from Qingxuan City like that? He doesn't know any better, but don't you? And what you said about being chased is completely fabricated. I sent people to invite you back, but you didn't believe me and insisted on taking action, so they had no choice but to use force. But now I'm personally inviting you back. Don't you believe me?"

Hearing the City Lord of Qingxuan personally explain this to him, Ying Chen couldn't help but be moved.

He never imagined that the City Lord of Qingxuan would personally explain to him that he was a noble Dharma Aspect Realm expert and one of the peak experts among the seventy-two city lords.

Does he need to explain himself to someone as insignificant as himself if he wants to get things done?

Could it be that what the Lord of Qingxuan City said was true, and I had misunderstood?

Ying Chen couldn't help but turn around and glance at Zhang Lingshan, opening his mouth as if to say something.

Zhang Lingshan smiled and looked at him quietly.

After a while.

Ying Chen gritted his teeth, looked up and said, "City Lord, whether it's a misunderstanding or not, the die is cast. Now that I've joined Dongfeng Restaurant, I'm already Dongfeng Restaurant Master's man, and there's no way I can go back."

The City Lord of Qingxuan laughed and said, "That's simple. As long as I speak to Lord Dongfeng, and he's willing to grant your request, he'll let you return. Where is Lord Dongfeng?"

"Lord Qingxuan City, it's been a long time."

The owner of Dongfeng Tower walked out of the guesthouse with a smile on his face.

Behind her followed Li Jinglei of the Azure Dragon Sect, who said, "City Lord Qingxuan, the Heavenly Demon Sect invited you to the Welcoming Guest Tower for drinks. What are you doing chatting with these juniors here? What 'eagle ministers and dog ministers'? It's all bullshit. Drinking with Lord Dongfeng is far more important!"

"Li Jinglei, this is none of your business."

The Lord of Qingxuan City's expression darkened slightly. He then looked at the Lord of Dongfeng Pavilion and said, "Lord Dongfeng Pavilion, this Ying Chen is from my Qingxuan City. I don't know how he ended up going crazy over there. Now I want to take him back. What do you think?"

Dongfeng Louzhu laughed and said, "Yingchen just said that it's impossible to go back. I still respect the opinions of young people."

"Hahaha."

Li Jinglei laughed loudly: "Not bad, not bad, I also respect the opinions of young people."

"Good good!"

The Lord of Qingxuan City was furious. He shouted "Good!" three times, then said with a forced smile, "Lord Dongfeng has truly impressed me today. Fine, we'll see."

"We'll see, we'll see. Who are you trying to scare? Bah!"

Li Jinglei snorted and spat on the ground.

Although the Lord of Qingxuan City was furious, Li Jinglei's strength was no less than his own, and the Canglong Sect behind him was a top-tier sect.

As one of the seventy-two city lords, Qingxuan City Lord was an official appointed by the Xuanjiang Domain Lord, but the Domain Lord wouldn't concern himself with such trivial matters, much less stand up for him and start a war with the Canglong Sect over something so insignificant.

For the Lord of Xuanjiang Domain, the goal of having these city lords is to share his burdens and work together to maintain the stability of the entire Xuanjiang Domain.

If his existence not only fails to maintain stability but also provokes fierce battles with top sects, then the domain lord might actually dismiss him from his position as the Lord of Qingxuan City.

In short, as the city lord, he could easily bully ordinary people.

However, if you want to bully a top-tier sect, you'd better be careful.

Therefore, in the face of Li Jinglei's contempt and provocation, the Lord of Qingxuan City merely snorted and walked past Li Jinglei into the Guest Reception Building.

"Master Dongfeng".

After watching the City Lord of Qingxuan enter the building, Li Jinglei couldn't help but ask, "Why did you offend this guy for no reason? He's notoriously petty. That Ying Chen clearly committed a crime and was going to be taken back by him for punishment. You took him in and even brought him to the Heavenly Demon Assembly. Wasn't that just asking for trouble?"

Dongfeng Louzhu said, "This Yingchen is exceptionally talented. I feel sorry for him and think he is a promising talent, so I will give him a chance."

"There are countless geniuses in the world, what's there to regret? You've gotten yourself into big trouble."

Li Jinglei shook his head speechlessly, then said, "Never mind, let's ignore these things for now. After the Heavenly Demon Assembly, if that petty guy tries to get back at you, I'll help you get rid of him."

"Thank you very much, Brother Li!"

The Dongfeng Pavilion Master looked delighted and immediately cupped his hands in greeting.

Li Jinglei said, "Don't be so polite. We've fought side by side before. But I can't stay by your side forever. When you get back to Dongfeng Restaurant, you'd better watch out for that guy causing you trouble."

"Yes, I have my own plans for what to do next."

Dongfeng Tower Master nodded.

Just saying.

Another airship arrived.

Then they heard the Heavenly Demon Sect's steward announce, "We have arrived at Zixuan City! Please invite True Lord Baiyang to the welcoming hall!"

Aries True Lord is a young man with a youthful face, who looks to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.

He slowly stepped out of the flying boat, saw Dongfeng Tower Master and Li Jinglei, and slightly cupped his hands, saying, "Dongfeng Tower Master, Senior Li of Canglong Sect, you two have arrived early. This junior greets you."

"Oh, you're too kind. True Lord Aries, it's been a while since we last met, and you seem to be getting younger and younger. Unbelievable, truly unbelievable! You really deserve to be called the most brilliant genius of the Dharma Aspect Realm in recent years!"

Li Jinglei exclaimed in amazement.

Baiyang Zhenjun said modestly, "Senior Li, you flatter me. Everyone here at the Heavenly Demon Assembly is a senior. Logically, my master should be here, but he has been busy recently and has no time to come, so I, as his disciple, have to do it in his place. To everyone here, I am a junior. If there is anything I don't understand, please enlighten me, seniors."

"Understood, understood. Everyone knows that the City Lord of Zixuan is always busy, so no one finds it strange. Come, come, come in and have a drink. You're such a lovable kid, no wonder your master always asks you to handle things. If my good-for-nothing disciple were half as capable as you, I'd have so much less trouble in the future."

Li Jinglei laughed as he put his arm around Baiyang Zhenjun's shoulder, like an old friend, and pulled him towards the guesthouse.

Aries True Lord didn't mind the senior's excessive closeness. He smiled slightly and then turned around and said, "You two, go and rest."

"Yes."

A middle-aged man and an old man stood on the deck of the airship and hurriedly responded.

If Ji Mengxuan were here, she would recognize them at a glance; these two were none other than her two junior brothers.

Lao Zhengyong and Peng Xian.

Previously, when they were in the Zixuan City Loose Cultivator Alliance, the three of them had each undergone pressure tests from Song Shuyuan.

However, Lao Zhengyong could not withstand the blow and was driven to the brink of madness by Song Shuyuan's oppression.

Although Peng Xian wasn't quite as badly defeated, he was still overwhelmed and collapsed to the ground, thus being eliminated as well. Only Ji Mengxuan passed the test, not only obtaining benefits such as the Seven-Star Cold Essence Grass and the Extreme Cold Seven-Star Diamond, but also getting the opportunity to fight Zhang Lingshan.

However, it was precisely because of that battle that she died a glorious death, missing the opportunity to participate in the Heavenly Demon Assembly.

Although Lao Zhengyong and Peng Xian failed the test of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, they were still disciples of the city lord of Zixuan City, one-third and one-quarter of the city lord respectively. Therefore, they were personally led by Baiyang Zhenjun, a disciple of the city lord of Zixuan City, to Xuantian Island to participate in the Heavenly Demon Assembly.

The two couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

What seems like a misfortune may actually be a blessing in disguise.

If they had passed the test back then, then it's likely that not only Ji Mengxuan would have disappeared along with the Loose Cultivator Alliance and others, but also the two of them.

It's better now.

With the death of their most talented senior sister, Ji Mengxuan, the two of them now have the opportunity to advance further in the Heavenly Demon Assembly.

Who said that the Lord of Zixuan City only takes on disciples and doesn't provide them with resources?

This is not slander.

Being able to enter the Heavenly Demon Assembly and absorb the power of the Heavenly Demon Sect disciples—isn't that a top-tier cultivation resource?
"Thank you, Master."

Lao Zhengyong and Peng Xian had solemn expressions. They first bowed in the direction of Zixuan City to thank their master for the blessing, and then stepped off the flying boat and onto Xuantian Island.

"It turns out they are two disciples that the City Lord of Zixuan took in during the selection competition for the Zixuan Qingxin Jue."

Feng Ming, standing next to Zhang Lingshan, said.

Yan Zhou said, "These two are of average strength; they just happen to have some compatibility with the 'Purple Profound Heart-Clearing Technique'."

However, in such a short time, their comprehension of the "Purple Profound Heart-Cleansing Technique" probably won't improve much. At most, they'll only be able to absorb two ordinary Heavenly Demon Sect disciples on this trip.

"Is the City Lord of Zixuan sending only the two of them because he's given up hope?"
"Why not learn from the City Lord of Qingxuan and bring more than thirty people, regardless of whether they are at the peak of the Spirit Origin Realm or not, send them all out to try their luck and maximize the benefits."

According to Yan Zhou's words, the status of the City Lord of Zi Xuan City is not comparable to that of their Dongfeng Restaurant.

Their Dongfeng Restaurant also wanted to follow the example of the City Lord of Qingxuan and bring more than thirty people, but they didn't have that authority.

But the Lord of Zixuan City, despite having the authority to do so, deliberately refused to bring his own and instead sent two newly recruited good-for-nothings.

Isn't this a complete waste of this great opportunity from the Heavenly Demon Assembly?

If you're going to train subordinates, why not maximize their effectiveness?

Although the Lord of Qingxuan City didn't seem like much and was known for being petty and narrow-minded, he chose to maximize benefits and wasn't even satisfied, so he wanted to take Yingchen back.

Both are city lords, but City Lord Zixuan has done the opposite. How can there be such a big difference between the two city lords?

But then Ying Chen suddenly said in a deep voice, "Don't forget, the City Lord of Zixuan City has two Dharma Aspect Realm experts under his command. But the City Lord of Qingxuan City has not a single Dharma Aspect Realm expert. Disciples should be of high quality, not many. What's the point of the City Lord of Qingxuan City sending ten thousand people to participate in the Heavenly Demon Assembly?"

Feng Ming, Yan Zhou, and Cong Yuan were all taken aback.

Yes.

It seems that the Lord of Qingxuan City has maximized his benefits by sending more than thirty people to participate in the Heavenly Demon Conference, just to freeload and gain experience.

However, under the tutelage of the City Lord of Qingxuan, not even a single person at the Dharma Aspect Realm could be cultivated.

On the other hand, the Lord of Zixuan City only sent two newly recruited rogue cultivators, but his disciples already had two Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators.

Among the seventy-two city lords, those at the Dharma Aspect Realm under the tutelage of City Lord Zixuan can be considered outstanding.

In other words.

Although the Lord of Zixuan City seems to be indifferent to the benefits of the Heavenly Demon Assembly, his skill in training disciples far surpasses that of the Lord of Qingxuan City.

This is a true master.

Putting everything else aside, just look at that Aries True Monarch. He's clearly a prodigy with extraordinary talent. Even a powerful elder like Li Jinglei from the Azure Dragon Sect, who's at the peak of the Dharma Aspect Realm, calls him brother.

In contrast, the Qingxuan City Lord was completely silenced by Li Jinglei's rebuke.

In terms of prestige, even a disciple of the City Lord of Zixuan City is inferior to the City Lord of Qingxuan City.

“Eagle Minister, is this why you are unwilling to return to the Qingxuan City Lord’s tutelage?” Cong Yuan suddenly asked, her words piercingly painful.

Ying Chen nodded heavily: "The Lord of Qingxuan City is narrow-minded. Even the best talents will be ruined in his hands. He is not worthy of my loyalty."

Just saying.

Then, more than thirty Spirit Origin Realm cultivators from Qingxuan City walked over and surrounded Zhang Lingshan and his group of five.

The leader was a young man Zhang Lingshan had never seen before. He had thin lips and spoke in a high-pitched voice, pursing his lips as he said, "Dongfeng Restaurant, how dare you!"

"Xiao Xingchen, what are you trying to do! The Heavenly Demon Assembly hasn't even started yet, and you want to start causing trouble right away? Are you disrespecting the Heavenly Demon Sect?"

Yingchen shouted sharply.

Xiao Xingchen sneered, "Eagle Minister, you traitor! Once the Heavenly Demon Assembly officially begins, you can just wait to die. All thirty-six of us will capture you, grind your bones to dust, and let you know the consequences of betraying the City Lord!"

Say it.

He sneered, "Let's go!"

A group of thirty-six people departed in a grand procession.

Feng Ming, Yan Zhou, and Cong Yuan couldn't help but look grim.

As I just said, their target is only the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and they have nothing to do with or are enemies of other forces.

Before long, they came knocking on our door.

"Ugh."

Feng Ming couldn't help but sigh: "This is troublesome. We can gather together through various means, and the other side can certainly do the same when they arrive at the Heavenly Demon Assembly. When thirty-six of them surround us, we can't fight against so many opponents."

Why be afraid?

Yan Zhou snorted, "Qingxuan City's subordinates are all useless; there are only twelve people at the peak of the Spirit Origin Realm."

Although he spoke toughly, his expression as he looked at Ying Chen clearly showed a hint of displeasure.

If it weren't for Yingchen drawing up this hatred, they wouldn't be in such a passive position.

Cong Yuan said, "Don't panic, Ying Chen is fast, he will definitely be able to escape."

A mocking smile played on her lips.

Ying Chen's face was grim. He said, "Don't worry, I would never abandon you and run away."

"Thank you so much."
