Chapter 335: 335 – Ao Cheng Has Arrived!
Translator: 549690339
The sudden change of events left everyone in the Sword Sea Sect dumbfounded. Clearly, someone was launching an attack on the defensive array of their sect.
Normally, if someone reaches the stage of attacking the array, they are truly a mortal enemy!
Although the Sword Sea Sect had considerable strength in this eastern region, the only enemies they could think of were the Evil Shadow Sect.
But there was a problem. The Evil Shadow Sect had been severely damaged by Jiang Xiaobai, they couldn’t possibly be the ones attacking the Sword Sea Sect at this time.
Even without Jiang Xiaobai causing trouble, it would be impossible for the Evil Shadow Sect to launch an attack.
For a moment, all the people in the Sword Sea Sect who were unaware of the situation went along with the crowd towards the direction of the mountain gate, their faces full of worry.
The lakeside disciples were equally shocked, especially Li Xuanlin who stood up abruptly, his gaze fixed in the direction of the mountain gate.
“Who could be mad enough to attack the Sword Sea Sect at a time like this?”
Li Xuanlin squinted his eyes, quickly intended to go over and see what was happening. Being a Saint Child, he couldn’t sit idly during such a crisis.
Seeing Li Xuanlin take action, Xiao Yu, a quirky girl, hurriedly followed with a flicker of excitement in her eyes.
Standing outside the mountain gate of Sword Sea Sect was a group of people in dragon robes. On the sleeve of a tall, handsome young man among them was the embroidery of a five-clawed golden dragon!
The group radiated a ferocious aura, reminiscent of terrifying beasts from ancient times.
Not only that, their strength was incredibly formidable!
The leading young man was at the peak level of Dividing the Gods, but his aura was so strong that even those at the later stages of Dividing the Gods couldn’t compare. He seemed capable of taking on ten opponents in the later stages of Dividing the Gods by himself!
Behind him were at least dozens of strong men at the peak stage of Dividing the Gods, dressed uniformly in black robes with gold patterns and black masks, each adorned with a gold dragon that added to their intimidating presence.
What was even more terrifying was that there were ten people at the Fusion stage standing next to this young man!
With such a formidable lineup, even the Sword Sea Sect would be filled with trepidation.
Although the Sword Sea Sect was renowned in the eastern region, the reality was that the total number of Fusion stage powerhouses in the entire sect couldn’t exceed ten!
Most of the sects here were in the same situation. Even the most powerful Thousand Yuan Dynasty did not have many Fusion stage powerhouses!
Considering this, the crowd was astounded at the sight of these unknown powerhouses, not daring to breathe too loudly.
Soon, Du Jianliang, the sect master of the Sword Sea Sect, came out with a stern expression.
“Everyone, what does this mean?”
“As far as I know, my Sword Sea Sect hasn’t had any conflicts with you. We haven’t incurred any grudges either. Your mass mobilization against my Sword Sea Sect seems a bit offensive, wouldn’t you agree?”
At these words, the tall, thin young man chuckled coldly.
“Offensive?”
“When you stepped in to help the Gu clan against my brother, you didn’t seem to think it was offensive.”
The members of the Sword Sea Sect widened their eyes in disbelief at his words.
Could this man be Jiang Xiaobai’s brother?
This was a joke, right? How could Jiang Xiaobai have such a powerful brother?
They knew that Jiang Xiaobai had offended the Gu clan, but they didn’t know the details about why or how it had happened. The whole eastern region was in the dark.
The appearance of this group of strong men now made them feel like they were caught in a huge whirlpool, something the Sword Sea Sect couldn’t withstand.
“Young man, are you referring to Jiang Xiaobai?”
Immediately, Du Jianliang said, “We indeed had a conflict with Jiang Xiaobai, but it was all a misunderstanding. The Sword Sea Sect was also attacked by Jiang Xiaobai, wasn’t it?”
“Heh, that was Jiang Xiaobai retaliating for himself, and that’s none of my business!”
Ao Cheng gave a cold laugh, exposing his gritted teeth. “But in the end, he is my brother. If my brother encounters trouble, how would it look if I didn’t step in to help?”
“He seeks his own revenge, I take up his causes!”
“Here’s the deal. I’m giving the Sword Sea Sect two options now: either come forward to apologize and make sure everyone in the eastern region is aware of your apology to Jiang Xiaobai.”
“Or, don’t blame me for being heartless.”
Ao Cheng kept sneering, his anger rising in his heart.
Goodness, did the Sword Sea Sect actually consider themselves to be important? They may carry some weight in the eastern region, but in front of the Dragon Valley, they’re worth nothing.
In fact, Ao Cheng was here to make a scene for Jiang Xiaobai!
Before he left, he knew that the Gu clan had rallied the forces of the entire eastern region against Jiang Xiaobai and even attempted to besiege him at the entrance of the Mad Demon Secret Land.
When Ao Cheng learned of this from the Dragon Valley, he was genuinely worried for Jiang Xiaobai. With so many experts ganging up on him, Jiang Xiaobai would be unable to resist.
However, he didn’t expect to learn, to his astonishment, upon his hurried arrival, that not only was Jiang Xiaobai unharmed, he had also escaped!
Furthermore, a shocking powerhouse appeared later on, claiming that Jiang Xiaobai was a person of great importance to her!
Ao Cheng was quite shocked by this, but without a trace of Jiang Xiaobai, he had no plans to search for him immediately. After all, it wouldn’t be in the Dragon Valley’s style to keep a low profile upon arrival.
Therefore, he went directly to the nearest Sword Sea Sect, intending to stir up trouble first!
But when Ao Cheng presented his conditions, the faces of the powerful figures in the Sword Sea Sect turned green with rage as they glared at Ao Cheng.
Du Jianliang’s forehead was furrowed and his expression grim, “Young man, aren’t you being a bit too arrogant? Although you brought many strong people with you, don’t forget that the defensive array of my Sword Sea Sect isn’t there for show.”
As he spoke, a faint light began to emanate from the array that enveloped the entirety of Sword Sea Sect.
Obviously, the Sword Sea Sect couldn’t just back down at this time, otherwise they would become the laughing stock of everyone.
In response to this, Ao Cheng’s expression remained unchanged, his face still filled with a cold smirk.
“Good, very good.”
“I do like your tough attitude. Oh, right, I haven’t introduced myself yet.”
“My name is Ao Cheng, I am the eldest son of Dragon Valley from the West Region.”
His voice was calm, but it brought great shock and fear to everyone present!
Dragon Valley!
This was no less than a behemoth like the Gu clan!
Especially Du Jianliang. As the sect master, he had more information than others. He was aware of the recent conflict between the Dragon Valley and the Gu clan, and he knew that behind these two forces, there were transcendent powers backing them up.
The Gu clan was hard to provoke, and so was Dragon Valley!
Especially considering Dragon Valley’s domineering and brutal way of doing things. The treasures in the Dragon Valley treasury were so abundant that it left people dazzled. Resisting Dragon Valley was simply a pipe dream!
At this moment, Du Jianliang was truly nervous.
