Shao Qingcheng was still calm as she responded to her daughter’s furious outburst . "Zhu Yi was lucky to have the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders as his master . He has reached quite an impressive standard since then . However, you have been cultivating for a much longer period of time than he has and yet you have been left in the dust – you should reflect as well . "
"Even though the Celestial Sect of Wonders have their own unique traits and abilities, you have been brought up and nurtured with tireless effort from your parents, and our mantras and abhijnas are equally powerful as well . "
Shao Qingcheng continued softly, "Even though you’ve experienced a lot more these few years, your life has been too smooth and easy after all . "
"It’s natural that you’re upset . However, you can’t let this kind of emotions eat into your willpower and your mind . You have to treat this like a lesson and return this humiliation to him a hundred times over in the future . Only cowards and weaklings curse and complain all the time . "
Shao Huayang took a deep breath as her expression mellowed and the fire in her eyes disappeared . "I understand . We will see who reaches the immortal soul stage first . I will swallow today’s humiliation and return it to him a hundred times over another day!"
Shao Qingcheng smiled at her daughter’s revelation . "That’s the way . Meng Bingyun was unable to defeat me, and this unholy child of hers will not be able to defeat my daughter as well . "
She turned to look at Zhu Yi calmly and said, "Xuan… Yi? Is that the title you gave yourself on the invitation letter you sent to Liang Yuan?"
"Zhu Hongwu has always wanted to teach you a lesson himself . However, if you’re here today for the Green Glass Jade Stand as well, then let me be the judge of your abilities . "
She was an immortal soul stage cultivator, but even if she wanted to murder Zhu Yi on the spot, she had to take Lin Feng into consideration .
Even though Lin Feng was not too concerned about Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi facing off against first-level immortal soul stage cultivators, that was just his own personal opinion . To outsiders, Xiao Yan and company were only nascent soul stage cultivators after all .
According to traditional perceptions, Shao Huayang challenging Zhu Yi to a duel was reasonable and perfectly normal . Even if Zhu Yi lost the battle, it was his own fault for not training hard enough or that he was simply not good enough . However, if Shao Qingcheng was the one initiating the challenge, it would seem like she was trying to bully an obviously weaker opponent .
Lin Feng was particularly sensitive to this kind of actions .
However, if Zhu Yi was the one that antagonized her and initiated the challenge, then it would be something else altogether . Immortal Soul stage cultivators possessed a certain degree of self-confidence and dignity, and she was not about to let Zhu Yi get away with humiliating her and her daughter just because he had a powerful master and a powerful sect behind him . Her turning a blind eye to something like that was unthinkable .
"I will never violate you for nothing . However, if you start showing me humiliating disrespect then I’ll just murder you on the spot . I don’t care if this triggers your master or not . If I can’t beat him, then I’ll just run . If I can’t run, then I’ll just compensate in any way I can . If I can’t compensate him, then it’ll just be a fight to the death . "
Even if it would cost them their lives, most immortal soul stage cultivators would never let such impudence of nascent soul stage cultivators go unpunished . Turning a blind eye to something like this was simply unimaginable for people like them .
Of course, it would be completely different if the immortal soul stage discovered that this nascent soul stage cultivator was much more powerful than the usual . At least, if the immortal soul stage cultivator knew that this nascent soul stage cultivator was strong enough to match his or her own abilities, then he or she would have a different mentality .
This was the reason why the Freshwater Holy Man, the Falling Waves Dragon King and the others treated Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi the same way before they really knew the extent of their abilities .
No matter how much Shao Qingcheng disliked Zhu Yi, she would never initiate the challenge . The only exception to that possibility was that the Great Zhou Empire and the East Heaven’s Gate was engaged in an all-out battle with the Celestial Sect of Wonders – only then would she not hold back .
She was here to retrieve the Green Glass Jade Stand . If Zhu Yi was here for the Green Glass Jade Stand as well, then he would be in her way, and the winner would be the most powerful individual – all the typical concerns of immortal soul stage cultivators bullying nascent soul stage cultivators and whatsoever were out of the question .
Zhu Yi was still standing upright on Jieyu’s back . His long purple robe swayed in the wind as he answered calmly, "You wish to see what I can do? That’s perfect as I also wish to see what you’re made of . "
"The Heaven’s Gate Sect were considered one of the more reputable sects in ancient times . The reappearance of the Heaven’s Gate mantras has made me very happy indeed . Although I do wonder, exactly how much of your East Heaven’s Gate has received the true teachings of the Heaven’s Gate Sect?"
Everybody was slightly taken aback at his words . Even though they were all aware of the notorious reputations of Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao and the others, it was still rather shocking and unbelievable that he dared to challenge an immortal soul stage cultivator when he was only in the nascent soul stage .
Of everybody on the island, the Vivant Joy Holy Man and the other cultivators from the Great Qin Empre were the most familiar with Zhu Yi’s true abilities . Even though they were uncertain about the outcome of this battle – Zhu Yi was only in the nascent soul intermediate stage – they were still relatively cool and collected about it all .
Shi Xingyun glanced at Zhu Yi as she shook her head and laughed . "That’s how he does things . "
The Sun-Swallowing Grand Sage and the Red Dragon King were a little surprised about the news of the East Heaven’s Gate bringing back part of the teachings of the Heaven’s Gate Sect . Even though they knew that Shao Qingcheng and the others were quite powerful, they had yet to officially battle each other and were still unsure of their adversaries’ backgrounds and identities .
Now that they knew, these two powerful demons grew a little anxious . The name of the Heaven’s Gate Sect was relatively renown inside the Barren Expanses even though it had been extinct for a long time .
