Chapter 50 - Miao Chengyang

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Half a day later, by the Kulan waterfall in the inner sect of the Deep Sea Sect.

Ina small courtyard by the riverside, Zheng Jingshan was wearing a brocade robe and a jade crown. He had an extraordinary bearing and was guiding a few junior brothers from the same lineage.

His tone was soothing, and he spoke confidently and calmly. His confidence and propriety made people instinctively want to believe him.

‘When the junior brothers saw this scene, they were even more respectful. Their expressions naturally revealed their regard for him. If only I can be like Senior Brother Zheng in the future!

Zheng Jingshan noticed it and sneered in his heart. He adjusted his posture quietly to look more like a big shot.

However, at this moment, the courtyard door not far away was suddenly kicked open!

“Zheng Jingshan, get out here and accept your death!” The senior and junior brothers in the yard were shocked. Before they could react, they saw a rough-looking man in a blue robe stride in. His eyes were deep and he swung his fists at Zheng Jingshan.

‘The wind from the punches whistled, mixed with strange whispers. Halfway through, a few junior brothers in the yard felt dizzy. Unknowingly, they walked over and blocked the direction in which Zheng Jingshan had escaped.

“Miao Chengyang, how dare you?!” Zheng Jingshan was shocked. He had suddenly been attacked, and the other party was at the late-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. He had instinctively wanted to avoid being attacked, but Miao Chengyang had already achieved minor mastery of the Inner

Demon Fist. As soon as he attacked, he controlled a few junior brothers at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment realm and forcefully blocked his way.

If Zheng Jingshan retreated now, he would definitely hurt his junior brothers.

As the master of the lineage, he had been deliberately nurturing these junior brothers as his assistants. At this moment, he naturally could not abandon them. Immediately, he raised his spiritual energy forcefully. A green light surged around his body. The bronze rust-colored patterns on his arms and

neck quickly appeared. Instantly, he activated the Green Ghost Battle Body.

Activating this combat body with a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation was naturally incomparable to the power of Zhou Yi, who was at the fourth-stage Qi Refinement realm, that Pei Ling faced that day. A pair of horns appeared on Zheng Jingshan’s head, and his exposed muscles were

suffused with a cold metallic glow. He looked exceptionally powerful!

However, Miao Chengyang sneered and suddenly changed his fists into claws. His five-fingered nails expanded and a cold blue light shone on his fingertips. With a casual grab, Zheng Jingshan’s Green Ghost Battle Body was torn apart.

“Miao Chengyang! Are you crazy?!” Zheng Jingshan endured the pain and finally took the opportunity to summon the weapon in his storage bag. With a blood-colored long saber in hand, he finally found something to rely on. He glared at Miao Chengyang. “Back then, we had already made things clear in

front of the senior brothers and sisters of the Upper Three factions. From now on, we’d mind our own business. Today, you attacked our branch for no reason. Do you think the senior brothers and sisters of the Upper Three factions are nothing?!”

“Of course, I don’t dare to be disrespectful to the senior brothers and sisters of the Upper Three factions.” Miao Chengyang glanced at the wound on his chest and did not pursue the matter. Instead, he said coldly, “However, you can’t beat me in the inner sect. You actually resorted to unscrupulous means

to arrange for someone to kill my younger brother in the outer sect… Cheng’an was my only younger brother! This enmity is irreconcilable! Not to mention the senior brothers and sisters of the Upper Three factions, I’m in the right even if the matter is brought to Li Zhenchuan’s attention!!”

Zheng Jingshan was dumbfounded as he shouted, “Wait! Are you crazy? When did I get someone to kill your brother in the outer sect? I don’t even know where your brother is in the outer sect.”

Miao Chengyang sneered when he heard that. “Zheng Jingshan! Although you relied on killing your father to climb up the ladder, as a member of the Holy Sect, we only ask about strength and not tactics. I’d never mocked you about this in the past. Now that you dare to do it but don’t dare to admit it, I

really despise you. I originally thought that although your cultivation level is temporarily behind, you’re still my opponent from the outer sect. Now it seems that you’re not worthy at all!”

“If Thad done it, of course I would admit it!” Zheng Jingshan was about to vomit blood as he shouted, “You idiot, you believed in rumors. You don’t even know who is using you as a weapon.”

“Do you dare to say that you haven’t been thinking of taking revenge on me recently?!” Miao Chengyang said coldly. “How many people have heard it with their own ears? How dare you quibble!”

Zheng Jingshan said angrily, “I…” He was just saying it. After all, he had really suffered losses. If he did not even say a few harsh words, how could he calm people down?

He could not say this out loud in front of his junior brothers. He only shouted coldly, “I think you’re here to cause trouble on purpose!”

“So what?!” Miao Chengyang had seen the evidence given by Li Ping’s concubine. When Pei Ling alighted from the Dark Bone Phantom Ship, many people at the Dust Severing Square saw it with their own eyes. How could it be fake? Moreover, later on, Pei Hongnian brought this junior into the sect and

called him Senior Brother Zheng.

Now that Zheng Jingshan denied it, how could Miao Chengyang believe him?

He felt that he was despicable, shameless, and absolutely disgusting.

He could not be bothered to confront the other party in detail. He took a step forward and tapped the center of the other party’s forehead.

‘The 13 inner sect factions were divided into the upper three, middle five, and lower five factions. Miao Chengyang and Zheng Jingshan were from the lower five factions. However, Miao Chengyang was the leader of the lower five factions while Zheng Jingshan was at the bottom. The two of them had

fought from the outer sect to the inner sect. Back then, Zheng Jingshan killed his father in order to cultivate but was still defeated by Miao Chengyang.

Now, although he had a weapon in his hand, Miao Chengyang was able to dodge his blood-colored long saber’s consecutive attacks. In the small courtyard, Miao Chengyang’s figure was like a dream, seemingly real, yet illusory. His hands gradually turned ice-blue. Every time he touched Zheng Jingshan’s

body, he left a wound that was so deep that his bone could be seen.

“Ghostly Escape!” Zheng Jingshan’s expression turned ugly when he saw this. This Ghostly Escape was one of the top escape techniques concealed in the inner sect’s All Techniques Chamber. It was rumored that it could combine with a few other top-notch escape techniques to form the sect’s signature

escape technique, Five Ghosts Heavenly Network! It was said that from the mists of mountain peaks to the netherworld, there was nowhere one could not go!

However, it was also very difficult to cultivate alone and very costly. He had not thought about it at all previously, but he did not expect Miao Chengyang to not only buy it but also master it.

With a slight distraction, Zheng Jingshan felt a sharp pain in his arm. Miao Chengyang dodged his blade and closed in on him, suddenly breaking his hand that was holding the blade. Then, Zheng Jingshan was hit in the face by Miao Chengyang’s Inner Demon Fist without any resistance. He felt a buzz in

his mind and his willpower became momentarily fuzzy. It was as if he saw several Demonesses wearing flimsy clothes dancing close to him

Zheng Jingshan was not lecherous, but he could not regain his senses at this moment. He could not be vigilant and continued to stare blankly. It was not until a moment later when the witch suddenly disappeared and someone helped him up in his dizziness that he realized that every part of his body was

hurting!

He instinctively touched his face. His hand was covered in blood.

The junior brothers who had been very respectful to him just now were huddled together like quails. They looked at each other and did not dare to say anything.

Go, report to the Disciplinary Hall.” Zheng Jingshan’s face was livid. He knew that he had lost a lot of face today. He coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of blood. With hatred in his heart, he instructed, “Tell them that the branch master of Zhaochuan’s branch has openly come to provoke us. Please

ask the Disciplinary Hall to punish him immediately!”

The junior brothers looked at each other. In the end, they pushed the youngest out and said timidly, “Senior Brother, when Branch Master Miao left just now, he said that he would immediately go to the Disciplinary Hall to pay the fine. He asked… asked you not to think about it.”

When Zheng Jingshan heard this, he almost vomited blood again.

He held his chest for a moment, holding back his anger. “What else did he say?”

“…” His junior brother glanced at him furtively and said carefully, “He also said that if not for Fairy Li, he would have killed you today! To avenge his younger brother! Even if he doesn’t kill you now, in the future… he will come over from time to time to ‘spar’ with you!”

Zheng Jingshan :”…”

Who the f*ck is harming me?!!
