Chapter 454: Chapter 15 What Is Arrogance?
âExcuse us, my cousin and I have things to attend to, donât block our way,â Lin Feng said indifferently.
He was able to guess the identities of Nalan Kang and Helian Ze.
Lin Feng estimated that these two men should be the young masters of the Nalan and Helian families, which are part of the âThree Clansâ of Wucheng.
âŠ
âDammit, boy, our young master didnât let you leave. You dare to go? Donât want to live?â A servant by Nalan Kangâs side immediately scolded with a cold voice.
Lin Fengâs expression darkened slightly; these people were a bit too arrogant.
Nalan Kang and Helian Ze each had more than a dozen followers, and among them were many experts. Lin Feng sensed that there were at least four powerful individuals at the Martial King Realm.
This was not the place to start a fight; it would have been fine if it were just him, but with Ziyuan accompanying him, it would be hard to escape.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Lin Feng said coldly, âWhat are you implying then? You intend to forcefully keep us here?â
Nalan Kang said with a smile, âDonât get me wrong, brother. My servant doesnât know how to speak properly, and I will reprimand him when we return. I felt a connection with you and wanted to invite you to visit our Nalan Family. We could drink and chat merrily. What do you say?â
Lin Feng surely knew what kind of scheme Nalan Kang was plotting and replied indifferently, âSorry, Iâm not interested.â
âNalan Kang, I think you should just give it up. Canât you see that this brother has serious doubts about your character? If I were you, Iâd leave with some dignity rather than embarrass myself here,â Helian Ze took the opportunity to ridicule, as he and Nalan Kang were never on good terms and he wouldnât pass up the chance to strike at him.
Nalan Kangâs expression darkened. He didnât look at Helian Ze but turned to Lin Feng and said, âBrother, you might not be aware of my identity. I am Nalan Kang, the son of the clan leader of the Nalan Family in Wucheng, of noble status. I am stooping to make your acquaintance, and youâre not giving me face?â
With that, his tone carried a hint of chill.
Helian Ze sneered disdainfully, âOh, come on. Who doesnât know that you have ulterior motives? Brother, donât worry, I, Helian Ze, canât stand those who rely on their familyâs power to misbehave outside. Come with me, and Iâm sure Nalan Kang wouldnât dare touch you.â
Watching the antics of Nalan Kang and Helian Ze, Lin Feng could only sneer coldly.
Both of them were of the same stripe; whatever they did, their goal was Ziyuan.
Although Ziyuan was young, her status as the âSnake Womanâ meant she already possessed alluring charm, a tall figure, and was well-developed, with a slender waist and round hips, not to mention her ample curves. Along with her breathtakingly beautiful face, she could easily attract unwanted attention. Only by being with Lin Feng could she possibly maintain her innocence; with any other man, it probably would have been lost long ago.
Lin Feng spoke coolly, âHelian Ze, right? I appreciate your kind offer, and you too, Nalan Kang. My cousin and I truly have matters to attend to and donât mean to decline rudely, so please let us through. If there is a chance, I will invite you for a gathering next time, at which I will drink three cups as a self-punishment.â
This time, not only Nalan Kang but also Helian Zeâs expressions turned somber.
In their eyes, how could this young man be so oblivious to his own standing?
Nalan Kang said with a cold laugh, âWhether you go or not, we donât care, but she,â pointing to the girl beside Lin Feng, âcannot leave.â
Helian Ze then said, âSell this Snake Woman to me, and I will help you leave the city. How about it?â
Now the two men had laid their cards on the table, clearly showing no further concern for pretenses.
âWhat a great display of arrogance,â a mocking laugh sounded.
Clip-clop, clip-clopâŠ
Four young cultivators approached; the one who spoke was indeed Li Muge.
They were Song Tianwu, Li Muge, Fan Di, and Li Ruoya from the Dragon Cloud Sect.
They had just come from Master Ge Yun and received a Green Blood Pill each, all of them elated.
They planned on enjoying a meal at the inn and resting before heading back to their sect to refine the Green Blood Pills. They didnât expect to run into Lin Feng and Ziyuan here.
âBrother Song, Brother Li, Brother Fan, Immortal Li,â Lin Feng clasped his hands in a salute.
Ziyuan also bowed slightly.
All four nodded slightly.
âWho are you? Daring to meddle in Laoziâs affairs?â Nalan Kang looked coldly towards the approaching four.
Helian Ze spoke in a tone neither cold nor warm, âToday is really strange, there seem to be so many people who are not afraid of dying.â
Dragon Cloud Sect, where Song Tianwu, Li Muge, and others belonged, was the second-ranked power among the Ten Great Ancient Forces of the Desert Domain, possessing tremendous strength. As core disciples of Dragon Cloud Sect, their identities were naturally extraordinary. Yet, the young masters of the aristocratic families within the small City of Mist dared to be so disrespectful, naturally making the faces of the four hard to look at.
Li Muge said coldly, âDo you know to whom you are speaking?â
âSlapâŠâ
But in response to Li Muge was a slap from Nalan Kang.
Li Muge was directly stunned by the hit.
Song Tianwu, Fan Di, and Li Ruoya were also stunned on the spot.
Someone had dared to strike a core disciple of their Dragon Cloud Sect.
âYou dare to hit me?â Li Muge exclaimed in disbelief.
Helian Ze then delivered a kick, and with a âbang,â the unguarded Li Muge was kicked by Helian Ze and sent flying over ten meters away.
Wow!!
Li Muge immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
With a thud, he collapsed to the ground.
âYou are courting death,â the three from Song Tianwuâs side roared out angrily, having recovered.
âDare to say we are courting death? I think itâs you who are courting death, huh? You really do not know whether to live or die, meddling in our business in Wucheng. Today, let the young master teach you how to behave. Beat them, give them a harsh lesson,â Nalan Kang arrogantly waved his hand, commanding loudly.
âYes, young master!â
âŠ
The followers of Nalan Kang loudly responded, ready to make their move.
âYou all join in, donât disgrace the name of our Helian Family,â Helian Ze also waved his hand.
âYes, young master.â
âŠ
The group from the Helian Family responded in sound.
Lin Feng couldnât help but feel speechless. These two were actually a bit too arrogant. Did they not know there is always someone stronger, there are heavens beyond the heavens? Seeing Li Muge being beaten so miserably, a good show was about to begin.
Just as the followers of Nalan Kang and Helian Ze were about to make their move, Song Tianwu and the other two were shaking with rage.
âOpen your dog eyes and see what this is?â
Song Tianwu took out a token and held it in his hand.
Seeing that token, the expressions on Nalan Kangâs and Helian Zeâs faces changed drastically because the token read âDragon Cloud Sect Core Disciple Token.â This signified that the people before them were core disciples of the Dragon Cloud Sect, individuals they should not provoke. Looking at Li Muge who had been beaten half to death, Nalan Kangâs and Helian Zeâs faces instantly turned pale.
