121: Arrogant, bullying people

"Whoosh..."

A blinding white light pierced the night sky of the Secret Realm, like a sharp sword cleaving through the blood-colored canopy. Jiang Yan felt his vision blur, and he suddenly appeared on another floating island.

Just as he got his bearings, the Secret Realm core on his Golden Core instantly unfolded a 2D map.

Jiang Yan looked at the holographic map projected by the Golden Core, his face growing darker and darker.

The entire central island of the Secret Realm was divided into nine layers, and his current location was shockingly the "Boundary Zone" at the very bottom!

"Motherf*cker! Are you kidding me?" He kicked a nearby "Heaven And Earth Treasure." That so-called Spiritual Plant instantly weathered away, revealing its original form—it was actually a fake made of fish bones by the Sea Race!

If he had to run through every layer and fly to every island, even with ten days, he might not reach the top three layers of the center.

Just as he was thinking about how to quickly reach the resource areas above the sixth layer, several Cultivators dressed in the robes of other Sects slowly walked toward him.

Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes, sizing up the approaching Cultivators. They wore the attire of the Feiyun Sect and the Linghai Sect, with treasure-hunting compasses hanging from their waists and arrogant, condescending expressions on their faces.

"Oh, isn't this the trash from the Qingyun Sect?" The leading Feiyun Sect Disciple sneered. "What's this? Are you lost? Or are you waiting for your fellow Disciples?"

"Senior Brother, he looks like he's been here for a while." Another Disciple had a wicked smile on his face, his tone greedy. "Maybe he's gathered quite a few treasures on him."

Hearing this, the leading Cultivator directly drew his sword. "Kid, no one's protecting you in this bottom zone. If you're smart, hand over your stuff, and we might give you a quick death."

Jiang Yan suddenly laughed.

He laughed very smugly and very wildly.

This made the Disciples of the Feiyun Sect and Linghai Sect feel a bit uneasy because they didn't know why the kid in front of them was laughing like that.

"Senior Brother, this kid hasn't been scared witless by us, has he?" the smirking Disciple asked.

"Damn it, I don't care if he's crazy or not. Kill him first." The leader raised his sword and walked toward Jiang Yan.

"Oh, I really want to thank you all." Jiang Yan smilingly took out a handful of Talismans, his tone smug. "I wonder if you've ever heard of something called a Meatball Tank?"

"Kid, I think you really have gone crazy!" The leader raised his longsword and slashed down at Jiang Yan.

Seeing this snail-paced movement, Jiang Yan stomped his right foot, and his figure instantly vanished. Then, a stack of Talismans transformed into blood-colored chains in mid-air.

While the leader was dazed from his missed strike, his Junior Brother and the Linghai Sect Disciples behind him showed looks of shock.

"You, you..."

Before anyone could react, Jiang Yan held a Talisman between his fingers, a cold glint in his eyes, and instantly tied them all up like Zongzi!

"Wh-what are you doing?!" the leader struggled in terror.

Jiang Yan ignored him. He performed a hand seal and chanted an incantation. The tied-up people suddenly floated into the air, their flesh beginning to twist weirdly, being forcibly transformed into the shape of a flesh-and-blood flying boat!

"Thanks for the sponsorship, everyone." Jiang Yan leaped up and stepped onto this "human flying boat." "Target: the Sixth-Layer Medicine Garden. Full speed ahead!"

Amidst shrill screams, the flying boat formed from the transformed Disciples of the Feiyun Sect and Linghai Sect soared into the sky, trailing a blood-red rainbow as it headed straight for the upper regions.

"Bang!"

"Crash..."

The bottom Restriction barrier was instantly smashed with a tiny gap. Then, the flying boat shot like an arrow toward the sixth-layer region.

The blood droplets falling along the way shimmered with an eerie seven-colored light under the moonlight... "Look at the sky!"

On the seventh-layer island of the Secret Realm, Cultivators who were fighting over the "Nine-Turn Soul-Returning Grass" all looked up.

They saw a flesh-and-blood flying boat made of twisted, stitched-together human bodies, whistling toward them while trailing a long blood-red rainbow.

Several painfully distorted faces could be clearly seen on the surface of the flying boat. Those forcibly fused Disciples of the Feiyun Sect and Linghai Sect were still letting out inhuman wails.

"Th-that's a Qingyun Sect Disciple?!" Someone recognized the green-robed figure standing at the bow, their voice cracking with fear.

Jiang Yan stood on the flying boat, playing with a Storage Pouch from one of the Feiyun Sect Disciples, humming an unknown, slightly off-color tune.

Wherever the flying boat passed, an eerie seven-colored blood rain fell from the sky. When those blood droplets landed on other Cultivators, they actually began to corrode their protective spiritual power!

"Make way, coming through!"

The flying boat was about to crash into the six layers of the medicinal garden's protective barrier.， Jiang Yan suddenly grinned.， With a sudden stomp, the flying boat beneath his feet. Seeing that the flying boat was about to hit the Sixth-Layer Medicine Garden's Restriction, Jiang Yan suddenly grinned and stomped hard on the flying boat beneath his feet.

"Boom!"

The flesh-and-blood flying boat exploded into a mist of blood the moment before impact.

Using the shockwave of the explosion, Jiang Yan shot through the seventh-layer barrier like a cannonball and landed steadily in the center of the Medicine Garden.

...As a wave of experience pop-ups appeared, he casually brushed off non-existent dust from his lapel and looked at the stunned Cultivators around him.

"Everyone, please continue. Don't mind me."

After saying that, he swaggered toward the most precious "Nine-Turn Soul-Returning Grass," pulled it out by the roots in front of everyone, and even conveniently snatched several nearby thousand-year Spirit Medicines.

"You brat from the Qingyun Sect! You're taking this too far!" Finally, a Chilian Mountain Disciple couldn't help but draw his sword.

Jiang Yan glanced back at him, a trace of invisible killing intent flashing in his pupils.

The Disciple was instantly struck as if by lightning, and the Magical Artifact sword in his hand snapped into two pieces with a "crack."

"You call this taking it too far?" Jiang Yan sneered, unhurriedly putting the spiritual materials into his Storage Pouch, and then showed off the string of Storage Pouches at his waist. "What do you think of this?"

"Gulp!"

Seeing the more than ten Storage Pouches at Jiang Yan's waist, everyone present swallowed hard in unison, then calmed down. They weren't fools; the fact that he dared to show them meant the Qingyun Sect Disciple had the means to kill them at any moment.

Jiang Yan looked at the wary and recoiling crowd, a mocking curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He slowly patted the clinking Storage Pouches at his waist, each opening faintly emitting spiritual power fluctuations of different attributes.

"Don't worry, I'm a person who likes to reason the most. Usually, for those who don't want to reason with me, I'll reason with them using physics."

Everyone was bewildered upon hearing this. They understood "reason," but what on earth was "physics"?

Jiang Yan casually threw out a Recording Bead, which clearly showed the scene of the Feiyun Sect Disciples taking the initiative to attack earlier.

"Look closely, everyone. They were the ones who tried to rob me first, so I was forced to use physics with them." At this point, Jiang Yan suddenly paused and crushed the broken sword on the ground with his foot. "I was just engaging in a bit of self-defense."

The Cultivators present looked at the recording of those unlucky souls who had been turned into a flying boat, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads... You call *that* "a bit" of self-defense?!

"But..."

Jiang Yan changed the subject and suddenly poured out over a dozen Spirit Medicines that were decades old from a Storage Pouch. Under everyone's shocked gazes, he tossed them around like candy.

"I'm a good person too. There's no need for everyone to fight to the death. Here, don't be shy, there's enough for everyone!"

In an instant, the atmosphere became bizarre. They had been fighting to the death for "Heaven And Earth Treasures," but as soon as Jiang Yan from the Qingyun Sect appeared, he made them all fume with rage.

What was he doing? This was a blatant humiliation!

Jiang Yan looked at their ashen faces, and the smile on his face grew even more brilliant. He intentionally said in an exaggerated tone:

"Oh, what? Is the age too low for you?"

As he spoke, he poured out a pile of hundred-year Spirit Medicines from another Storage Pouch, this time casually scattering them like he was feeding pigeons. The Spirit Medicines traced elegant arcs in the air, landing at people's feet, with a few even hitting them directly in the face.

"See how generous I am! Is this age enough?" Jiang Yan tilted his head, showing an innocent expression. "These are hundred-year Spirit Medicines, rarely seen in your Sects~"

A Fire Cloud Sect Disciple trembled with rage, pointing at Jiang Yan and roaring, "You from the Qingyun Sect! You're taking this too... mmph!"
