Chapter 143: Another Familiar Face
It should be obvious enough that, in the dog-eat-dog world of Firmament Heaven’s cultivation society, the emphasis on hierarchy and power was extremely strong. While there was a strong emphasis on personal power, that emphasis was actually reduced to individual situations and circumstances.Obviously, and inevitably, when two people of different factions met, the focal point for measuring hierarchy became, first, the faction they came from, and then, after that, their personal power.
Such was the case here, where the three Six Paths Demon Sect fellows, including Li Ling, were all one realm or more lower than the three women opposite them, yet none wore a look of obeisance or respect.
It wouldn’t even take more than 10% of Wen Caiyi’s full power to reduce these three men to dust, but she was only able to stand by the side and glare with smouldering fury at the one she wished she could strangle to death, not daring to actually make a move.
Was it because Wen Caiyi personally feared Li Ling, or these two cretins?
Hell no.
What they feared—what kept these three snarling women at bay—was the robe the trio of youngsters wore, that obsequious white-and-gilt color as well as what it stood for.
It was one thing to cross these people, and another thing to cross the power behind them, because if that happened, they might as well directly commit suicide on the spot right now and save everyone the time as well as the effort.
So despite the rude words and the laughable aura that barely tickled them, the three elders could only show ugly expressions as their momentum was successfully suppressed significantly.
"Tsk, to be cowed by just one line... you’d truly make terrible wives. Where is the vigor, the fierceness?" Li Ling lamented sadly, sighing while shaking his head.
This alone was one thing, but damned Li Ling was still making noise about it in the back!
Even the duo with Li Ling twitched their lips, wishing to tell him to cool it down. Right now, it might seem like everything was stable, but it wasn’t. If one of these three women snapped and decided that wiping them all out was worth the ensuing punishments later, that would be wraps!owards this area, enveloping everyone in its radius. Only Li Ling had an expression of strangeness as he let the light cover him while he removed his body, which had partially entered subspace.
When the light dispersed, the two Six Paths Demon Sect fellows who thought they were dead found that they were standing on a platform of whitish-gold light, hovering above the previous battlefield.
When they looked around, they saw that they were positioned at the back of this new translucent platform, and in front of them was a group of Six Paths Demon Sect disciples with stern expressions.
Great, our reinforcements came in time!
But... we didn’t call for the Deva Path Hall, did we? We called for our own Asura Blood Hall powerhouses, so what was this?
The two shared uncertain looks, then paid attention to the situation at the front, wondering exactly who the owner of that voice had been.
What shocked the two fellows was that, in front of the bunch of Deva Path disciples, Li Ling stood there with his arms crossed over his chest, sneering at the person who stood beside him.
On top of that, the one beside him was a familiar face to the duo, one of the most notorious Deva Path disciples in the entire middle layer of the sect due to her extreme combat power on par with an Asura Blood fellow.
Shen Ziyan!
Meanwhile, down below, the light also revealed the state of the trio of women who had tried to accost Li Ling, and it wasn’t good.
In one casual attack, Shen Ziyan left only Wen Caiyi with an entire body, her regal robes entirely tattered along with her body, which had cuts all over.
Meanwhile, the combat elder had only her upper body left, looking completely bedraggled and pale, severely injured, while Yan Bing was only left with half of her body from the left side!
