Chen Qi suddenly stopped smiling. He glared at the people around him and said coldly, "Is it funny? Who told you to laugh?"
"..."
Faced with the unpredictable Chen Qi, those around him looked helpless. They could only lower their heads, not daring to speak or continue laughing.
Chen Qi turned his gaze back to Tianxiao's face.
Although both are third-tier True Monarchs, Tianxiao's aptitude is actually much better than his. The reason he can reach the same level as Tianxiao despite having inferior aptitude is naturally due to his family background.
Unlike Tianxiao, who is a homeless dog.
His father was an elder in the sect.
He has already reached the level of a fifth-order True Monarch.
If they were placed outside the Heavenly Dragon Sect, they could even become the leader of a sect. However, if they stayed within the Heavenly Dragon Sect, they would naturally acquire more resources.
It can also help his son, who has good aptitude but is far inferior to a true prodigy, to secure a position as a true disciple, obtain a large amount of resources, and advance to the third-tier True Monarch realm.
The reason why Chen Qi disliked Tianxiao so much was because...
The reason is quite simple: jealousy.
He held Tianxiao in utter contempt, considering him merely an outsider, and a stray dog from a sect that had been swallowed up.
And yet he could be on equal footing with me.
At least that's the case in name only.
He naturally couldn't accept it either.
This time, he suddenly appeared here, both to eliminate a competitor and to vent his jealousy.
After Tianxiao was mocked by him.
He could only sigh, not daring to argue forcefully, and instead laid out the sect's rules.
"Once you reach the lower realm, the opportunities you can obtain will depend on your own abilities among the true disciples, without any restrictions. This was something the sect leader decided from the very beginning."
Since the identity of the Skyfall Blood Slaughter Society has not yet been exposed, he can naturally put on this act, claiming to be a true disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
However, Chen Qi had no intention of letting him off so easily.
“You’re right, there are indeed such rules, but rules are rigid, while people are flexible. You’re just a stray dog whose sect has been swallowed up; you’re not qualified to have the same status as us.”
"You're going too far!"
Tianxiao's strength surpasses Chen Qi's.
If it really comes down to a fight, this guy is no match for him.
Seeing that he was already angry, Chen Qi suddenly turned his gaze and said with a cold smile, "Want to make a move? Then don't blame me for being impolite. I have long seen that you have ulterior motives and are not truly subservient to the Heavenly Dragon Sect. Perhaps you have already colluded with people from the outside world without my knowledge."
"Trying to target our Heavenly Dragon Sect, don't you think?"
Chen Qi, with an arrogant and irritating look, continued to provoke them.
Tianxiao could hardly suppress his urge to take action, but then he thought that he had already endured countless humiliations like this, so what difference would one more humiliation make?
He could tell what Chen Qi was thinking.
Isn't it just to provoke me into making the first move?
Within the Tianlong Sect, it is forbidden for true disciples to kill each other.
If Chen Qi was injured due to some petty squabble, then regardless of the reason for the fight, the other party has an elder as a backer, and he is indeed as the other party said.
He's nothing but a stray dog!
Tianxiao forcibly suppressed his anger.
He composed himself, refusing to argue with the other party, and decided to leave first.
Chen Qi was somewhat stunned.
How can you tolerate this?
Just as Tianxiao had thought, he forced Tianxiao to take action against him. Given his contempt for Tianxiao and the prevailing sentiment within the sect, he could easily use this opportunity to kick the guy out.
There's one less lowly bastard competing with him for resources.
The resources that end up in his hands will naturally be more.
But Tianxiao refused to take his bait, willing to leave even if it meant being humiliated.
He shook his head and said sarcastically, "Your skin is as thick as a wall. I admire you, but you can't leave yet."
"Why? What's the matter?"
Tianxiao stopped mentioning the competition for opportunities. He frowned as he looked at Chen Qi. Even after he had already swallowed his anger so much, was the other party still unwilling to let him go?
Chen Qi pointed to Lin Jinglong and the others behind him.
"These people... they're not from the upper realm, are they? You've actually colluded with lowly people from the lower realm! This matter is still unresolved; you owe us an explanation!"
Now it wasn't just Chen Qi who was puzzled; even the group of followers behind Chen Qi were looking at Tianxiao with curiosity.
Although Tianxiao is a true disciple, his position is awkward. How dare he associate with people from the lower realm?
"Besides, these people only look like they're at the Immortal Realm. You're not trying to tell me you're planning to use their power to help you seize opportunities, are you?"
Chen Qi looked at Lin Jinglong and the others with disdain.
Although Lin Jinglong and the others had already disguised themselves, and Chen Qi did not know their true identities, even without the disguise, Chen Qi would not have recognized them as members of the Elders' Council.
After all, he was focused on competing for more resources within the sect, and the Heavenly Dragon Sect didn't actually have much contact with Shenxiao Zhenjun.
He certainly wouldn't do what Huang Lin and the others did, thinking of helping Shenxiao Zhenjun to kill Lin Jinglong and the Elders' Council.
Tianxiao's gaze fell on Lin Jinglong's face.
Their identity in the lower realm remains a question.
Since Chen Qi has already brought it up...
So how should this be resolved?
He can only provide cover for one's identity, but if real trouble arises, it's not something he can easily resolve.
Lin Jinglong, on the other hand, just smiled.
He sent a telepathic message to Tianxiao.
"Go ahead and do it. I'll help you defeat this man. After we've dealt with him, we'll get out of here."
But he's questioning your identity!
Tianxiao transmitted his voice somewhat nervously.
Lin Jinglong looked helpless. He looked at Tianxiao with a sneer and said mockingly, "I think you've been exploited by them for too long and you don't even consider yourself a human being anymore. You are of the same status as him, both are true disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. Does the Heavenly Dragon Sect have any rule that you cannot compete for opportunities?"
"No."
"Does the Heavenly Dragon Sect have a rule that forbids you from cooperating with people from the lower realms?"
No, not at all.
Tianxiao responded in confusion.
"Since there are no rules, you're just acting within the rules. What right does he have to lecture you?"
"But his father is an elder. If we fight him, wouldn't we be kicked out of the Heavenly Dragon Sect?"
Tianxiao remained as hesitant and awkward as ever.
Lin Jinglong casually said, "If you're going to kick me out, then kick me out. Are you really willing to be someone's dog?"
Tianxiao had no choice but to accept this as the only way to break the deadlock. Otherwise, Chen Qi would not have allowed Lin Jinglong and the others to successfully enter Thousand Star City, which could have triggered an even bigger conflict.
At that time, Lin Jinglong and his group will take action against Chen Qi.
The consequences were far more serious than when he assaulted Chen Qi.
"Fine, then I'll do as you say. But I don't need your help in dealing with Chen Qi!"
Tianxiao also spoke with an arrogant air.
