MTL NOVEL Chapter 25
Chapter 25: Your Arrogance Is Vulnerable!
How could there be such an operation!
People were dumbfounded, rendered speechless.
They were afraid of becoming sycophants, and even more afraid of being justified in self-defense.
Luo Yi’s expression was also very grim, yet he had no way to deal with the Little Demoness since enforcement required strong evidence.
“Those who dare to kill us deserve to die!”
Tang Qi and Chen Ling’er exuded killing intent, ready to act at the slightest provocation; this matter could not be brushed aside.
However, Long Lingyun and the Little Demoness showed no fear, directly suppressing the opposition.
Zhou Tong even wore a mocking expression: “You two, one is a piece of trash who was slapped in the face by me while kneeling, and the other is the subordinate of a defeated opponent. What qualifications do you have to be brazen before me!”
As soon as this was said, Tang Qi couldn’t hold back first. He was a prideful son of heaven; how could he be crushed by someone!
“It’s just a mere Sword Path. If you have the ability, fight me fairly; with one hand, I can teach you manners!”
Zhou Tong shook his head, finding a vacant spot to sit cross-legged, ignoring this incompetent and furious guy.
Long Lingyun and the Little Demoness also calmed down, standing by his side, waiting.
Since they couldn’t take up the current task, they would just wait here for new tasks to be released. Until the last moment, they had no reason to give up.
“Give up on that thought; the Joyful Union Sect cannot be saved!” Chen Ling’er gritted her teeth.
“It will be saved; just wait and see,” Zhou Tong replied.
After saying this, Zhou Tong simply closed his eyes in meditation, appearing detached and calm.
“You!!”
Chen Ling’er looked quite unhappy, instinctively tightening her fists; her mood had become unbearably restless!
The more indifferent Zhou Tong acted, the more she cared.
The Zhou Tong of the past was clearly not like this; Chen Ling’er could sense his feelings for her clearly.
Why did it turn out this way? Zhou Tong said he didn’t love her, and he was so harsh and indifferent. What did he think of her, Chen Ling’er?
Unknowingly, her breath had become heavier. Looking at the Little Demoness and Long Lingyun, jealousy already glinted in her eyes.
“It’s not a big deal; after the Joyful Union Sect disappears, he will ultimately return to my side!”
Just as she comforted herself, a powerful aura descended from the heavens, overwhelming everyone!
“Who can save my daughter? I, Shangguan Wuhui, will surely reward you richly!”
Zhou Tong opened his eyes.
This Shangguan Wuhui was the leader of the Supreme Clarity Sect, holding a very high status and great power.
He appeared anxious, holding a pale-faced girl in his arms; it was his daughter, Shangguan Wugou.
His appearance attracted the alchemists present, among whom were several true masters.
However, after examination, many masters secretly shook their heads.
“This child is afflicted with the strongest water poison, displaying extreme resistance to any elixir. The situation is dire.”
Shangguan Wuhui’s expression dimmed; he had heard this many times.
“Is it really true that my Wugou has no hope?”
“I can save her!”
Zhou Tong suddenly stood up, becoming the center of attention.
People looked at him strangely; even the masters were powerless, so what could a mere youth do?
Shangguan Wuhui turned to him, his eyes blood-red, resembling a beast preparing to devour.
“Kid, are you mocking me?”
“No, I can unlock the water poison that has afflicted your daughter, but it requires an extraordinary method.”
Zhou Tong was about to explain when Tang Qi, standing to the side, looked excited. He had once stumbled upon a great opportunity; the ring on him not only contained the soul of a strong warrior but also various elixirs that could resolve the water poison.
This was a golden opportunity to showcase himself; how could he let it slip by?
“Senior, don’t listen to his nonsense! I have a Nine Nether Wind Fire Pill here that can save your daughter’s life!”
Tang Qi said proudly, then took out the elixir.
The entire Enforcement Main Hall was soon filled with the fragrance of medicine, causing many alchemists’ eyes to light up; this was an eighth-rank elixir, extremely precious—something they could only dream of!
“Good, good! Truly a blessing from heaven! If I can save Wugou, no matter the request, this old man will fulfill it!”
Shangguan Wuhui said excitedly, as if seeing hope, reaching for the elixir to administer to the girl in his arms.
“Wait!”
Zhou Tong quickly stopped him: “I already said, to save your daughter requires an extraordinary method; taking any elixir will only make things worse!”
“What do you think you are, daring to spew nonsense here!”
Shangguan Wuhui roared in anger, “If you dare to cause any more trouble, I’ll kill you on the spot!”
“Ha ha… Senior, you don’t know; this person was my senior brother. Because of improper conduct, he was expelled by my master, and now he has degraded himself by joining the Joyful Union Sect. You’d best not trust his words!”
Tang Qi fanned the flames, and sure enough, a look of ridicule quickly appeared on Shangguan Wuhui’s face.
Under everyone’s gaze, Shangguan Wugou took the elixir.
Immediately, the poisonous gas from her body swiftly dissipated, and her complexion returned to rosy, as if truly healed.
“How do you feel?” Shangguan Wuhui asked the girl excitedly.
“Father, I feel much better; my body is warm and so comfortable…”
Seeing this scene, everyone looked at Zhou Tong, their eyes filled with mockery.
“I thought he was so capable; he spoke with such conviction earlier, yet it turns out he was just lying!”
“I think he believes that Miss Shangguan is already beyond saving, wanting to attempt a random treatment. Even if he fails, Sect Master Shangguan can’t blame him, plus he will owe him a favor!”
“Why do you even need to say this? I noticed that long ago. No wonder this person was expelled from the sect; it turns out he wasn’t wronged.”
Watching Zhou Tong being vilified, a malicious glint flashed in Tang Qi’s eyes.
He wanted to take this opportunity to thoroughly ruin Zhou Tong, ensuring he could never rise again.
“Senior, I have an unreasonable request!”
He cupped his hands at Shangguan Wuhui.
“Hahaha… I owe you a great favor; feel free to speak your conditions, and I will comply!”
“Thank you, Senior!”
Tang Qi’s expression brightened suddenly as he pointed at Zhou Tong.
“Senior, please allow me to report that I once had immense respect for this person, but his actions have made me thoroughly disappointed. Not only has he betrayed the sect, but he has also conspired with outsiders to insult my master. Please, Senior, take action to punish this person!”
Surrounding people’s expressions changed instantly; it seemed Tang Qi was determined to finish off Zhou Tong.
“Xiao Qi, this is our own matter; why trouble Senior to intervene?”
Chen Ling’er, seemingly having lost her mind, actually spoke up for Zhou Tong.
“No need to say more; even if the young brother didn’t speak, I wouldn’t allow such a scoundrel to run amok!”
Shangguan Wuhui said coldly, stepping toward Zhou Tong, a terrifying pressure crashing down like a mountain!
“Dismantle your cultivation, slap yourself three hundred times, and then sever one arm; today’s matter will be settled. Otherwise…”
“Otherwise, what can you do to me?”
Zhou Tong said without hesitation, a mix of pity and mockery in his eyes.
This expression ignited Shangguan Wuhui’s fury.
“You don’t cherish the opportunity I’ve given you; then don’t blame me for being merciless!”
“This is the Enforcement Main Hall; do you dare to act violently here?!”
The Little Demoness and Long Lingyun simultaneously channeled their energies, sharing the pressure with Zhou Tong.
Long Lingyun glanced at Luo Yi behind him, who wore an expression of watching a show.
“Is someone causing trouble here? Why don’t you hurry up and call for help!”
“Why call for help? There’s nothing illegal going on here; furthermore, you deceived first. If anyone should be punished, it should be you!”
He said with a mocking face, reminding everyone that he too had been bought off by the Jade Purity Sect.
“Let’s see who can save you now!”
Shangguan Wuhui’s expression was indifferent, preparing to strike at Zhou Tong.
“Five…”
Zhou Tong appeared unconcerned, suddenly starting to count down.
“Are you counting down for your life?”
Shangguan Wuhui felt it was amusing.
“Four… three… two…”
“What are you counting?”
Shangguan Wuhui frowned, for some unknown reason, a hint of unease suddenly surged in his heart.
“One!”
After completing the countdown, Zhou Tong let out a light sigh. Then, a scream echoed throughout the main hall, causing Shangguan Wuhui to tremble all over!
“Wugou! What happened to you!”
