Chapter 0041
Luckily, he had not acted rashly . With this youth before him, if he had acted the same way he did in Capital Wu, he would’ve been nothing more than a corpse right now .
This person was evidently a genius from the Zhongyuan Dao Sect .
"Senior Brother Jiang, please, sit!" Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian and the others were hurrying forward to offer their respectful greetings, while Yuan Chen was foremost amongst them, his face full of pleasure . He gestured towards Senior Brother Jiang, and the two laughed upon seeing each other . That Senior Brother Jiang swaggered to the centermost seat, while Yuan Chen followed behind in practiced fashion . . . .
"Pour," the youth ordered Yuan Chen in a compelling voice .
"Yes, Senior Brother Jiang," Yuan Chen simpered .
Pour wine, drink wine .
"Sun Wudao, let me introduce you . The one before you is the personal disciple of the Zhongyuan Dao Sect’s leader, and also his own son . Heavenly Immortal Jiang Junlin! You had better pay respects quickly!" Since this youth's arrival, Emperor Yuan Hao had become cocky, calling Wu Yu by name, and his gaze already hinting at belligerence .
No wonder he was so awesome - he was the son of the Zhongyuan Dao Sect’s leader . . . His status was even more esteemed than Su Yanli and the others’ . At least Su Yanli and Feng Xueya were not related by blood .
Yuan Hao's words had caused Jiang Junlin to notice Wu Yu . His bright, starry eyes flicked over with a hint of a malicious smile . "You're the disciple the Heavenly Sword Sect sent to look after Dong Yue Wu? That's funny . The stubborn warts at the Heavenly Sword Sect actually let a non-sword user be initiated . "
Such casual words naturally placed him above Wu Yu's status .
But Wu Yu was backed by the Heavenly Sword Sect, so he had no need to fear him or even revere him . He said, "I see that it's Senior Brother Jiang Junlin . My respects . As for what weapon I use, that's a personal matter . "
With this Jiang Junlin around, Wu Yu's quest for revenge had become even more difficult!
Clearly, for his mission to have a good chance at success, he needed to finish Hao Tian and Imperial Concubine Xi in one fell swoop .
Seeing Wu Yu still rather hard-headed, Jiang Junlin sniggered . He made Yuan Chen pour more Monkey Wine for him, then he lifted his head to look at the decorations on the ceiling of Tian Wu Hall . He stretched out a finger and laughed deliberately . "I recently cultivated this dao technique called Bone-Adhering Fire . That Bone-Adhering Fire is really something special . . . "
Saying thus, his finger suddenly pointed at Wu Yu .
Hua!
In an instant, something unimaginable happened to Wu Yu . Suddenly, a wave of azure blue flame actually sprung to life on Wu Yu's skin, from his chest, his four limbs, his head . Instantly, Wu Yu was drowning in the deep blue fire . Even more frightening was that the fire not only burnt his skin but had countless stings that pierced Wu Yu's body, drilling into his bones .
He had a feeling that once these flames entered the bone marrow, he would never be free of them for the rest of his life .
This was precisely the Bone-Adhering Fire that Jiang Junlin had spoken off!
As soon as they met, he had actually used a dao technique to attack him, clearly to overwhelm him . Fortuitously, Wu Yu cultivated the Invincible Vajra Body and had great resistive powers against fire . That Bone-Adhering Fire could not directly penetrate his skin .
However, the opponent had not displayed the full extent of his abilities . If he had, Wu Yu might not have been able to stand up against it .
Crash!
Just as Wu Yu was gritting his teeth while trying to resist the Bone-Adhering Fire, Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian recited an incantation, summoning a water dragon from the nearby lake to crash on Wu Yu and drench him!
In a flash, he was soaked through .
That ordinary water could not have possibly extinguished the Bone-Adhering Fire, but in that instant, Jiang Junlin's finger retracted, and the Bone-Adhering Fire ceased right as the water dragon crashed down .
The clash of water and fire had thrown the Tian Wu Hall into complete disorder . Of course, the most wretched was Wu Yu . Although he was not injured, he had been thoroughly shamed .
"I'm so embarrassed . It was a newly learnt dao technique, and I could not control it . Luckily, Hao Tian called forth water to extinguish my Bone-Adhering Fire," Jiang Junlin said mildly .
From the side, Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian smiled and said, "Old Brother Sun definitely understands . After all, the power of dao techniques is prodigious, and no one can control them perfectly . Accidents are commonplace . Of course, this has nothing to do with one's status at all . If Old Brother Sun only stays on Heavenly Immortal Peak from now on, and quietly keeps out of Dong Yue Wu's business, then our dao techniques would be completely unable to harm you . Isn't that right?"
He had chosen a roundabout way to reveal their intentions . It was clear that they were telling Wu Yu to stay out of the Dong Yue Wu Kingdom's affairs . Even if he was the Immortal Kingdom Supervisor, he was not qualified to manage the kingdom .
Jiang Junlin had made the first move, and now Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian was hinting that Wu Yu should know what to do in his position .
"Sun Wudao, my brother Yuan Chen has returned home after much hardship . I reckon that he will stay in Capital Wu for quite a long time . Although you are the Immortal Kingdom Supervisor, I think that you won't be so indiscreet as to hurry them away, right? How will things be managed after? Do you understand?" Emperor Yuan Hao guffawed . That was as plain as it got .
All of them were waiting for Wu Yu's reply .
Wu Yu's body was heated, and the water evaporated readily from his considerable body heat . At this time, he picked up the Demon Subduing Staff nexto to him and turned to Jiang Junlin, saying, "Now that all you gentlemen have spoken thus, I understand . My intention was to cultivate in peace . Since Yuan Chen is a prince, then he may, of course, abide at Dong Yue Wu . "
Having said thus, he paused, then continued, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first . "
Empress Dowager Yuan Xi smiled . "Heavenly Immortal, it's lonely on the mountain . Shall I send some beautiful women up to wait on you?"
This Yuan Xi's way of speaking was infuriating . She had no intention of ever letting Wu Yu leave Heavenly Immortal Peak again .
"No need . Good day . "
Wu Yu turned .
"We won't see you out!" Emperor Yuan Hao was in high spirits after seeing Wu Yu shamed . Although he was an emperor, he was still immature, and he was so excited, he was about to burst into laughter .
A complete and thorough embarrassment .
Wu Yu walked out of Tian Wu Hall, mounted his Heavenly Cloud Roc, and took to the skies .
With the night breeze blowing around him, he could calm down and order his thoughts .
"Jiang Junlin's appearance was completely beyond my expectations . If I want revenge, the level of difficulty has just risen again .
"Today, the reason for their pressure is obvious . They don't want me to become the Immortal Protector . That Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian has no intention of leaving .
"However, I also do not want them to leave .
