My words echoed before the sect, causing everyone to look at me with strange eyes…
They couldn't understand how a martial god like me could have the courage to speak like that to the head of a sect. Even if I were Tuoba San's father, I shouldn't have been so bold...
"Are you looking for death?"
Master Xiang's gaze was icy, and his entire body emanated a murderous aura, making it clear that he was ready to kill me at the slightest provocation...
"You want to kill me? Then go ahead and do it. If you don't, I'll look down on you..."
I stared at him with disdain and said, which made Xiang Daoren very unhappy. He really didn't dare to act rashly, for two reasons that made him wary...
One reason is that Tuoba San wields the Human Emperor's Sword and is inextricably linked to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. This means they are very likely to need Tuoba San's help, and if they take action, they will cut off any possibility of speaking to Tuoba San...
But if we don't take action, wouldn't it be a disgrace for the leader of a sect to suffer such a great humiliation?
Tuoba San also looked over at this moment. Xiang Taiyan's sudden departure from the palace surprised him. He had thought that the other party would burn himself to death, but he did not expect that the other party valued his life so much...
As he silently cursed him as a coward, he also glanced at Xiang Taiyan lying on the ground…
"My dear, go and seek out the opportunities within the palace. Leave the matters outside to your father..."
I gave Tuoba San a reassuring look, and he understood what I meant from my lip movements. He nodded and walked into the palace…
The moment his figure completely disappeared into the palace, the opened doors slammed shut, and whatever Tuoba San gained inside, no one but Tuoba San would ever know…
"What? Sect Master Xiang isn't going to make a move? Is it because my neck isn't long enough for you to reach? Do you want me to stretch it out in front of you so you can chop it off?"
Seeing my eldest son off searching for treasure, I immediately started my usual tactic of offending people…
"Kid, are you looking for death?"
For so many years, Master Xiang has never been humiliated like this. Today, I have been so presumptuous, showing him absolutely no respect...
"Yes, I'm courting death. My son is Tuoba San, what am I afraid of? Kill me, and my son will naturally avenge me..."
If I had said this before, Daoist Xiang would have scoffed. A mere Saint-level cultivator was nothing to him. Even if Tuoba San was incredibly powerful, he could crush him with a flick of his finger...
But now that the Human Emperor Sword is in Tuoba San's hands, whether it's the returning patriarch or these new generation members, all they want is to ascend to immortality...
Previously, the Heavenly Path was severed, and no one had a chance. But now that the Heavenly Path has reappeared, the entire Burial Realm is undergoing strange changes, with invasions from other realms and impending calamity...
With their strength, survival wouldn't be difficult, but if they stayed in the Burial Realm to cultivate, their lifespan would eventually come to an end...
To attain immortality, one must embark on the celestial path and achieve immortality. What is the purpose of cultivation? Nothing more than achieving immortality, especially for someone of his strength, who is only one step away from it. Naturally, he would not easily give up any opportunity for immortality…
Now, Tuoba San is the chosen one, and if they continue to be his enemy, they will truly be cutting off their own path to immortality…
"I can forgive your rudeness, and we can let this matter go, but..."
Xiang Daoren wanted to say: Just apologize and that's it!
But I'm the one who's looking for trouble, why would I reconcile with him? Faced with his "but," I waved my hand to interrupt him, and said coldly.
"No buts, I don't need your forgiveness. If you want to kill me, then do it now..."
Holy crap…
How can there be such a shameless person in this world?
The sect leader has already bowed his head, and I not only didn't give him face, but I also retorted. This is practically rubbing the sect leader's face into the ground...
"Ahem... Tuoba Wudi, one should be lenient when possible. Since the mistress isn't here, why don't we each take a step back..."
Qingyunzi never expected me to be so brave; even someone as experienced as him was almost caught off guard…
However, he didn't want me to suffer a loss, so in this situation, keeping the peace was the best option!
He was worried that Xiang Daoren might act recklessly and attack me directly. Although it had nothing to do with him, if something happened to me, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Tuoba San...
But I'm not the kind of person who lets things slide, so before Qingyunzi could finish speaking, I spoke again.
"Not retreating, not even a single step! Who does he think he is? Is being the head of a sect so great? I am Tuoba San's father..."
As soon as I finished speaking, a collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the area in front of the sect...
Anyone with eyes can see that Qingyunzi is speaking up for me, worried that Xiangdao people might do something desperate...
But I've just offended Daoist Xiang, and now I've turned around and rejected the sect patriarch of the Qingyun Sect...
They'd never seen anyone as ungrateful as me, unable to distinguish friend from foe...
Moreover, I keep saying that I am Tuoba San's father, which is completely incomparable to the head of a clan, okay?
Everyone thought I was finished. Qingyunzi was originally going to help me, but after I refused his offer, as the sect's patriarch, he wouldn't stoop so low as to help me...
This allows Daoist Xiang to attack me without any scruples. I am merely a Martial God, nothing more than an ant to Daoist Xiang…
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a handsome man before? I'm the most handsome father in the world..."
Holy crap…
Shameless...
These words echoed in everyone's minds, but they also sensed the barely suppressed killing intent emanating from Daoist Xiang...
"Hey you, stop pretending. I know you're awake. Get up and honor your bet. Everyone's waiting to see what happens..."
Ignoring Xiang Daoren's murderous intent, I continued my reckless speech...
At first, everyone was shocked and confused, but now they've gotten somewhat used to my reckless behavior...
The Taoist priest's eyes gleamed with a murderous light, as he looked at me coldly and said...
"Tuoba San hasn't come out yet, and this bet isn't over. Why should we honor the bet?"
I was stunned by what Xiang Daoren said. I didn't expect Xiang Daoren to be so shameless. He was clearly trying to renege on his bet, using the excuse that Tuoba San hadn't come out yet, and insisting that the bet wasn't over, so as not to fulfill his obligations...
If I agree, they can say that Xiang Taiyan is seriously injured and needs to be treated first, and then they can renege on the bet regardless of whether Tuoba San shows up or not…
"Master Xiang, you are supposed to be the leader of a sect, have you lost all sense of shame? Losing is losing, how can you be so untrustworthy? How could the Qingyun Sect have a sect leader like you? Did you steal your position as sect leader?"
"Shut up, stop talking nonsense..."
Xiang Daoren roared in exasperation, his attitude startling everyone, especially Qing Yunzi, whose gaze towards him changed...
