34: Chapter 34 A stray dog should just be a stray dog.
"A stray dog?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gaze instantly converged on Lin Ming.
Especially Ku Ming; his face darkened significantly.
The surrounding temperature dropped once again.
"Good, good, good..."
Ku Ming laughed in extreme rage, a powerful killing intent radiating from his body.
Zhu Yuankong and the others personally experienced the killing intent of a powerhouse at the level of a True Monarch of the Other Shore; under this intense killing intent, they found it somewhat difficult to bear.
Just as they were about to collapse, they could no longer feel the killing intent.
Or rather, this killing intent was blocked by a middle-aged man who had suddenly appeared before them.
"A stray dog? You're right. Ku Ming, you stray dog, are you still alive in this world?"
Yan Su looked at Ku Ming and laughed heartily.
"Ku Ming? Demon Lord Ku Ming? The Demon Lord Ku Ming of the Gui You Sect?!"
Upon hearing this name, Fang Jinchen seemed to recall something and spoke with a face full of horror.
"That's right, the very same Gui You Sect that was wiped out by my Revered Master a hundred years ago."
Lin Ming nodded.
The reason Lin Ming recognized Demon Lord Ku Ming was mainly because his "cheap" Revered Master had mentioned her past glorious achievements while chatting with him.
The Gui You Sect was considered a fairly powerful presence among the Demonic Path Sects and was one of the few that survived the great war five hundred years ago. Within the Sect, two powerhouses at the level of True Monarch of the Other Shore presided; one of them was Demon Lord Ku Ming.
A hundred years ago, while True Monarch Yunhua was traveling, she accidentally discovered the Gui You Sect's lair and directly charged in, slaughtering every single person in the Sect.
Even two demonic cultivators at the Other Shore level were no match for True Monarch Yunhua. One was killed by her, but the other managed to escape by accident.
The one who fled was Demon Lord Ku Ming.
Lin Ming had also "accidentally" flipped through the Cultivation Techniques of the Gui You Sect.
From the exchange between Demon Lord Ku Ming and True Monarch Gu Yan, Lin Ming recognized the Gui You Sect's Cultivation Technique.
A Gui You Sect Cultivation Technique, an Other Shore Demonic Lord, and such a deep grudge against his Revered Master—Lin Ming couldn't think of anyone else it could be besides True Monarch Ku Ming.
"A remnant of the Gui You Sect is nothing more than a stray dog."
Lin Ming deliberately emphasized the words "a stray dog."
Lin Ming's words enraged Ku Ming once again. How dare a mere cultivator of the Spirit Platform Realm humiliate him like this?
Strands of Yin Nether Qi began to corrode the surroundings.
However, the middle-aged man slightly raised his hand and blocked all of the Yin Nether Qi.
"And who are you?"
Ku Ming's gaze fell upon the middle-aged man as he spoke coldly.
Not only was Ku Ming curious, but Lin Ming and the others were also somewhat puzzled.
"He is the owner of the Minhe Pharmacy, Yan Su,"
Su Lianxue said at this moment.
As expected, she knew this middle-aged man was no ordinary person the moment she saw him. Now it seemed the other party was also a powerhouse at the Other Shore level.
No wonder her Senior Brother wasn't panicked at all; it turned out he had long anticipated that this would happen.
"Yan Su?"
"It's him?"
Lin Ming wasn't surprised to hear Su Lianxue's words. After all, someone his Revered Master took an interest in certainly wouldn't be an ordinary person.
Moreover, Lin Ming had long known of such a figure's existence in the Yan Capital; his Divine Thought hadn't been covering the city for nothing.
"A stray dog should act like a stray dog."
As he spoke, green flames appeared in Yan Su's hand, transforming into a lotus flower.
The lotus flower bloomed, and its petals drifted toward Ku Ming.
"It's you?!"
Ku Ming's expression changed slightly upon seeing this flaming lotus.
A flood dragon composed of Yin Nether Qi appeared above Ku Ming.
After circling once in the air, the flood dragon attacked wildly.
In an instant, the flood dragon and the flaming petals collided.
The flaming petals landed on the flood dragon, burning its body.
"I was wondering who it was."
Ku Ming's voice rang in everyone's ears.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as his gaze fixed on Yan Su.
"Yan Su, Su Yan—the once-famous True Monarch Qing Yan is actually hiding in a small pharmacy as a shopkeeper."
Ku Ming said.
"That's still better than being a stray dog like you,"
Su Yan said, looking at Ku Ming with a calm gaze.
"True Monarch Qing Yan, Su Yan... It's him?!"
Zhu Yuankong also looked at Su Yan with a face full of surprise.
"True Monarch Qing Yan? Why haven't I heard of this name?"
Tong Lingwei's expression was filled with surprise and confusion.
True Monarch Qing Yan—how had she never heard of this title?
"True Monarch Qing Yan was once a Genius of the Tianyuan Su Family who stepped into the Other Shore Realm at the age of five hundred, but he suddenly disappeared a hundred years ago without a trace,"
Zhu Yuankong explained.
To think this legendary figure was actually in the Great Yan Dynasty, acting as a shopkeeper in an ordinary pharmacy.
Stepping into the Other Shore Realm at the age of five hundred...
Su Lianxue also looked at Su Yan. Entering the Other Shore Realm at this age would be considered a Genius even in the Upper Realm.
It seemed the Lower Realm still had quite a few talents.
"Su Yan, are you sure you want to be my enemy?"
The flood dragon and the green flames collided and dissipated into the world.
Ku Ming looked at Su Yan coldly. This fellow's appearance was indeed outside of his expectations.
But if this guy insisted on obstructing him, he wouldn't mind sending him on his way.
"If you disappear from my sight right now, I can let you go,"
Su Yan said coldly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the tension in the hearts of Zhu Yuankong and the others relaxed.
With the help of True Monarch Qing Yan, they should be safe at least for a short while.
Furthermore, Zhu Yuankong had already used special means to call for reinforcements from his Sect.
As long as True Monarch Qing Yan could stall Ku Ming until the Sect's reinforcements arrived, it would be enough.
"Since you're looking for death, you can't blame me."
As the voice fell,
The sky was filled with invading Yin Nether Qi.
Su Yan took a step forward, and the space in front of him rippled.
With a strike of his palm, the Yin Nether Qi completely dissipated.
"A battle between powerhouses of this Rank is a once-in-a-century occurrence,"
Fang Jinchen said with a hint of excitement.
True Monarch Qing Yan and Demon Lord Ku Ming could both be said to be powerhouses who had been famous for a long time.
A clash between powerhouses of such strength was indeed a once-in-a-century event.
One at the seventh level of the Other Shore Realm and the other at the eighth; a duel between high-stage powerhouses of the Other Shore Realm is indeed rare.
However, Lin Ming's attention wasn't on these two right now.
Lin Ming's attention was currently outside of the Yan Capital.
By now, he had roughly guessed what the purpose of these people from the Demonic Path was.
After all, he didn't think these people from the Demonic Path would deploy two Other Shore level powerhouses just to kill him.
He was merely a cultivator of the Spirit Platform Realm; he wasn't worth the opponent going to such great lengths.
