Chapter 807
The Dog Barked! Leng Yan Spits Blood
"Humph."
Leng Yan snorted coldly, and with a flick of her right hand, she sent out an ice spike that collided with Kong Ruobing's ice shards, instantly shattering them.
Although Kong Ruobing's ice contained ice talismans, firstly, her skills were not yet proficient and she had not reached Zhang Lingshan's level, and secondly, Leng Yan was not Ji Buyi, and was playing with her while suppressing her cultivation level.
Therefore, Kong Ruobing's ice shards were completely ineffective against the attack of the immortal lord Leng Yan.
but.
Kong Ruobing is not a person.
The moment Leng Yan made her move, Ji Buyi's expression darkened, and he shouted, "How dare you attack my junior sister! You're courting death!"
Whoosh whoosh.
Hundreds of ice-sculpted puppies quickly materialized around Ji Buyi, roaring and tearing at Leng Yan in unison.
Leng Yan's expression changed drastically. She hurriedly crushed the jade talisman at her waist, forming a layer of ice to protect herself. At the same time, she shouted, "Ji Buyi, it wasn't me who attacked her, but her who attacked me. Do you expect me to stand still and let her attack me?"
"Enough with the nonsense."
Ji Buyi sneered and quickly formed hand seals. One by one, the ice-sculpted puppies merged into one, becoming larger, with horns sprouting from their heads. They attacked Leng Yan's ice shield from all directions.
Just as Leng Yan's icy shield was about to give way, a voice suddenly rang out: "Ji Buyi, it's good to be lenient when you can. Leng Yan has already admitted her mistake and promised to let Li Xuanbing return to continue her cultivation, so why are you being so aggressive?"
"Oh, so it was the Pavilion Master sending a message from afar."
Ji Buyi was not surprised by the voice. He smiled slightly, cupped his hands towards the sky, and said, "Since the Pavilion Master has spoken, I will give the Pavilion Master face. Zhao Xingqiu, tell me where Li Xuanbing is now, and have Leng Yan invite him back."
"Yes."
Zhao Xingqiu immediately said, "I just got in touch with Li Xuanbing. He's waiting outside the Golden Immortal Pavilion. He's been in the direction the other party kicked him away, and he hasn't left since. So the other party naturally knows where he is."
The other party naturally refers to Leng Yan, but Zhao Xingqiu dared not call Leng Yan by her full name. After all, the other party was a powerful Immortal Lord. Zhao Xingqiu had neither Kong Ruobing's status nor Ji Buyi's strength, so how could she dare to call her by her full name?
"He was kicked out, huh? Did Li Xuanbing want to stay here, or did he offend you so much that you had to kick him out? Later, I'll have Li Xuanbing kick him back. What do you think, Sect Leader? Is it reasonable?"
Ji Buyi laughed.
The Pavilion Master remained silent, clearly indicating that he had tacitly agreed or had stopped paying attention to the matter.
As the Pavilion Master of the Golden Immortal Pavilion, although he was a Celestial King, the prestige of his Celestial King status was far inferior to that of the Ice Spirit Sect Master, a peak Celestial King.
Not to mention Kong Ruobing's grandfather, Kong Nangui, who is a powerful Immortal Venerable. He could easily wipe out the Golden Immortal Pavilion ten thousand times over on his own.
Why should I get myself into trouble just because Leng Yan acted on her own initiative?
Let Leng Yan suffer a little injustice and let things settle down. After all, this whole thing was caused by Leng Yan.
"It seems the Pavilion Master has agreed."
Ji Buyi laughed and then recalled his ice sculpture dog, saying, "Leng Yan, you're the one who kicked her, so please come back. Stop dawdling. If you keep dawdling, it's not just disrespecting me, it's disrespecting the leader of your Golden Immortal Pavilion. Think it over carefully."
Leng Yan's face turned extremely ugly; her usually icy and beautiful face flushed red, as if she had swallowed a fly.
He, a dignified Immortal Lord, actually had to apologize to a mere Mystic Immortal.
What a shame!
hateful.
If one day I break through to the Immortal King realm, I will kill you all.
Kong Ruobing, Ji Buyi, Li Xuanbing, you all deserve to die!
And then there's Pavilion Master Jiang Kaiwu, who can't even protect his own men; he's a useless person and must be killed!
Leng Yan gritted her teeth, biting her lips until they bled, but no matter how angry or resentful she was, she dared not disobey Ji Buyi's wishes any longer.
Pavilion Master Jiang Kaiwu has already helped me once. If I am ungrateful and insist on fighting with Ji Buyi, I'm afraid I'll be beaten to death, and Jiang Kaiwu won't help me again.
After all, if she were to die, Jiang Kaiwu, as the head of the Golden Immortal Pavilion, would at most be accused of failing to protect her, but that wouldn't be a big problem. Moreover, someone else would soon be able to take over Leng Yan's position as the chief of the Ice Element Sect.
However, if Jiang Kaiwu dares to attack Ji Buyi and Kong Ruobing, then he will be facing the sect master of the Ice Spirit Sect, who is much more difficult to deal with and communicate with than his official superiors.
and so.
Even a fool knows which option to choose.
At this moment, countless eyes were silently watching Leng Yan, watching her fly out of the Golden Immortal Pavilion, watching her face Zhang Lingshan.
It wasn't just countless eyes; everyone's divine consciousness was also activated.
Who the hell doesn't love watching a show?
Today's lively atmosphere has injected a touch of joy into everyone's otherwise monotonous practice.
Leng Yan noticed that she was surrounded by various divine consciousnesses, all of whom were laughing at her. However, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and look at Zhang Lingshan, who was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, under the intense gazes of Kong Ruobing and Ji Buyi. She said, "You can go back to cultivate now."
"Who's talking? Are you talking to me? Or are you talking to thin air? Heh."
Zhang Lingshan gave a mocking smile.
Then he stood up, cupped his hands in thanks to Kong Ruobing, and said, "Thank you, Lady Bingxian."
Kong Ruobing chuckled inwardly.
This kid is indeed no ordinary person. He's just a minor immortal, yet he doesn't give people any face at all.
Although Leng Yan's strength is not as good as Ji Buyi's, she is still a powerful Immortal Lord. How can you be so disrespectful? Aren't you afraid of retaliation?
Seeing Zhang Lingshan's performance, Ji Buyi laughed and said, "Interesting, I like it very much. Leng Yan, you invited people back but didn't even call them by name? How are we supposed to know who you're talking to? Invite them properly, don't make a mistake."
"I!"
Leng Yan was so angry she almost vomited blood. Her eyes widened like copper bells as she glared at Zhang Lingshan and shouted, "Li Xuanbing, this is the Golden Immortal Jade Talisman. You can re-enter the Golden Immortal Pavilion to cultivate."
Swish.
Zhang Lingshan took the Golden Immortal Jade Talisman and instantly flashed into the Golden Immortal Pavilion, shouting, "The dog barked! It gave me a fright!"
"..."
Everyone fell silent.
This kid is really fearless. He's disgusting a powerful Immortal Lord. So what if he has a powerful backer?
But can your powerful backer always protect you?
Many people secretly shook their heads, feeling that Zhang Lingshan had gone too far and was being ungrateful.
Even a powerful Immortal Lord like Leng Yan has given you face by inviting you. Just accept the invitation; it's a way of giving him face too. Wouldn't it be better to let bygones be bygones?
They had to make it look so ugly now.
Aren't you afraid that after you leave the Golden Immortal Pavilion, Leng Yan will find an opportunity to take revenge and kill you?
You can't stay by Kong Ruobing and Ji Buyi's side forever.
What's the point of just trying to have a moment of verbal sparring?
Utterly foolish!
"Haha."
Ji Buyi laughed loudly.
He held a different view from others.
Leng Yan is arrogant and proud. Their presence to support Li Xuanbing today is a slap in Leng Yan's face. She already hates them. Even if Li Xuanbing humbles himself to save face, it's useless. On the contrary, it makes the Ice Spirit Sect lose face, especially Ji Buyi's. "I'm here to support you, and you're still meekly and trying to be a nice guy? It's laughable."
Does this kind of person deserve Ji Buyi's support?
and so.
Zhang Lingshan's performance this time precisely proves Ji Buyi's strength and the strength of their Ice Spirit Sect.
This is the right path!
"Lord Ice Immortal, sir, Leng Yan expelled me from the Golden Immortal Pavilion, which I appreciated as a sign of their rules. However, she also stole my flying magic weapon! What kind of rule is that! Is the Golden Immortal Pavilion allowed to rob people of their magic weapons at will? Does that mean everyone who comes to the Golden Immortal Pavilion to cultivate will be robbed?"
Zhang Lingshan first cupped his hands to Kong Ruobing and Ji Buyi, then shouted loudly.
When my backer wasn't around, I had to swallow my anger.
Now a powerful backer has arrived, and a very powerful one at that, one that even the head of the Golden Immortal Pavilion wouldn't dare to take forceful action against.
If I were to swallow my anger and keep quiet, wouldn't my powerful backer have come for nothing?
"Um!?"
Ji Buyi raised an eyebrow.
At the same time, the entire Golden Immortal Pavilion was in an uproar.
Even the chief experts, including Hang Chi, were all taken aback.
It's understandable that Leng Yan drove the other party away; at least it can be explained. But Leng Yan stealing Zhang Lingshan's magic weapon is incomprehensible.
What kind of magical treasure is it that's worth you going to such lengths to steal?
But if it really is such a powerful magic weapon, why don't you just kill the person after you steal it? This is even more difficult to understand.
"Li Xuanbing used this magic weapon to secretly absorb the immortal spiritual energy of our Golden Immortal Pavilion, which is why I confiscated it. I have no interest in such trash magic weapon, here you go!"
Leng Yan shouted urgently and immediately threw out the Xuan Tian Array Plate.
She is now filled with regret.
I should have just killed that kid back then!
However, fearing that Kong Ruobing would pursue the matter, he hesitated and did not kill her in front of him, but who knew that this would lead to such a situation.
I'm so angry!
But then again, the icy storm that sent the opponent flying was still an attack from a Celestial Lord, even if it wasn't used at full power. Logically, even if this kid didn't die, he should have turned into an ice sculpture. How could he be as lively and energetic as he is now, and even be able to criticize him?
Damn kid, no wonder Kong Ruobing and Ji Buyi value him so much. This kid is indeed exceptionally talented and extraordinary.
Zhang Lingshan took the Xuan Tian Array Plate, but before he could properly check if Leng Yan had tampered with it, he suddenly heard Ji Buyi ask, "Is this your flying magic weapon?"
"No."
Zhang Lingshan's heart skipped a beat, and he understood the implication in Ji Buyi's words. He immediately said, "She only brought this out to frame me. I did not absorb any immortal spiritual energy from the Golden Immortal Pavilion. However, I will still keep this as evidence."
puff!
Leng Yan spat out a mouthful of blood and roared fiercely, "I'm going to kill you!"
She never expected that she had only returned the Xuan Tian Array Plate to the other party because she didn't want to cause any more trouble and wanted to settle things peacefully. As a result, the other party was so greedy that they even tried to extort money from her.
How awful! How awful! How awful!
When has Leng Yan ever suffered such an injustice?
A humiliating disgrace.
I'm going to kill you!
"Is preventing the victims from speaking out an attempt to silence them by killing them?"
Ji Buyi sneered, and countless ice-sculpted puppies materialized around him again, blocking Leng Yan, who was rushing up and baring her teeth at Zhang Lingshan. Then he said impatiently, "Bring out our Li Xuanbing's flying magic weapon. We're magnanimous and won't hold it against you, but this is a one-time exception."
This is the proper attitude to settle things peacefully.
The sect leader said that one should be lenient when possible, and Ji Buyi took that to heart and gave the other party face.
When Leng Yan was bitten by the ice sculpture puppy and unable to move, she seemed to finally calm down. She took something out of her storage ring, threw it over, and said, "I admit defeat. This is for you. I hope you can hold onto it!"
Zhang Lingshan took it; it was a white banner, which looked ominous and didn't seem like a flying magic weapon.
Ji Buyi glanced at Zhang Lingshan and gave him a look, meaning that something looked wrong with the thing and that Zhang Lingshan should throw it back and replace it with a new one.
But Zhang Lingshan quickly put the banner away and said, "This is it. Thank you for clearing my name, sir. The reason I chose a Grade A mountain this time and failed to break through to the Golden Immortal realm before must be because the tribulation lightning on a Grade C mountain was too weak."
"Haha, alright, now that it's returned to its rightful owner, Leng Yan, you can leave. Be a good person and don't ruin your own life."
Although Ji Buyi didn't know why Zhang Lingshan insisted on putting the banner away, since the other party had taken it, he didn't waste any more words. Instead, he laughed and said, "Li Xuanbing, let's go sit on your mountain peak for a while."
"It is my honor to have you here in person, Your Excellency."
As Zhang Lingshan spoke, he gestured to Kong Ruobing, saying, "My lord, please come in as well. But I must go and select a mountain peak first."
"Okay, go ahead, we'll wait here."
Kong Ruobing said calmly.
Zhang Lingshan was secretly delighted. This time, Kong Ruobing's help not only allowed him to return to the Golden Immortal Pavilion, but also allowed him to directly choose a Grade A mountain peak, which saved him a lot of contribution points.
To get promoted from Rank C to Rank A, you need one million contribution points.
Contribution points are worthless to Zhang Lingshan, but the time spent is worth money.
and so.
He made a huge profit this time.
Especially after discovering that Kong Ruobing's background was so powerful that even the Pavilion Master of the Golden Immortal Pavilion didn't dare to confront him directly, only daring to secretly utter a word to ease the situation, it was clear how strong this powerful figure was. Zhang Lingshan was determined to rely on him!
Moreover, having offended Leng Yan, that mad dog, Zhang Lingshan would have to find a way to stay close to Kong Ruobing for the rest of his life to be safe.
This time.
In the main hall of the mountain peak chosen by Zhang Lingshan, the old gatekeeper turned away immediately, not daring to even look at Zhang Lingshan, let alone praise him.
This person doesn't even give Leng Yan face. If you accidentally offend him, you'll be in deep trouble.
Zhang Lingshan was speechless at the other party's behavior.
I responded to injustice with honesty, which was perfectly reasonable. How did that make me a bully? People don't even dare to look at me.
But let it be. After choosing a mountain peak, Zhang Lingshan immediately led Kong Ruobing and Ji Buyi to his top-tier mountain.
The biggest, most obvious, and easiest difference between Class A and Class C mountains is that Class A mountains are higher.
Upon reaching the summit, Zhang Lingshan took out the Xuan Tian Array Plate and casually set up an array. Ice-type spiritual energy condensed into three ice-sculpted chairs and one ice-sculpted table.
"That's interesting."
Ji Buyi asked in surprise.
This method looks simple, but it has its own secrets and cannot be performed by ordinary people.
The fact that the other party did it so casually shows that they are a genius.
"Thank you for your help, sir. May I ask your name?" Zhang Lingshan bowed to Ji Buyi. (End of Chapter)
