130: The fate of Zhang's trouble-making

What are you, an ant, to dare look down on this young master! Do you think defeating trash like Gu Daokun gives you the right to be arrogant in front of this young master?

On the Soaring Dragon Arena, you'd best stay alive and wait for this young master to twist off your head!

I heard your few Dao Companions are all devastatingly beautiful. My subordinates haven't had any fun for years; it'll be perfect for them to have a taste then! Hahaha.......

Upon hearing Lin Ruiyang's words, Sima Xuan immediately lost his composure, completely unable to control his mouth. His eyes began to turn red, and the more he spoke, the more agitated he became, eventually not even sparing the other party's Dao Companions.

Thinking of Lin Ruiyang's contemptuous gaze just now, Sima Xuan's heart felt like it was being devoured by a venomous snake, in extreme pain.

Why? He is not only the Divine Child of Taiyan Academy but also the Emperor's Son of the Xuanhuang World's foremost family.

And what is Lin Ruiyang? In terms of background, he's just a native Holy Son from the Eastern Wasteland. In terms of cultivation, he's merely at the second level of the Dongxu Realm, several minor Realms lower than him. What right does he have to look down on him?

If not for the lack of absolute certainty of victory, he would have long since rushed straight to the inn these past few days, flayed Lin Ruiyang, chopped his body into ten thousand pieces, and then thrown him to the dogs.

"Alright, since that's the case, we'll meet on the arena then! Rest assured, you won't have a chance to leave the arena alive, I guarantee it!"

Just as Sima Xuan became increasingly frantic, Lin Ruiyang no longer wanted to listen. His eyes, glinting with cold light, slowly lifted, as if looking at a dead person, and a cold voice came from his mouth.

All along, whatever others said about him, Lin Ruiyang, he could ignore it, but he also had a bottom line.

He was an orphan when he was on Blue Star, hence he cherished his family greatly. Now, Ye Qingcheng and the others, in Lin Ruiyang's view, are his family. Daring to harbor designs on his family is courting death.

Of course, even without today's events, just based on Li Yiran being attacked and severely injured before, Lin Ruiyang would not have let Sima Xuan off.

"Hmph, you little piece of trash at the second level of the Dongxu Realm, you dare shout at our Divine Child! If you don't get lost, don't blame us for being impolite!"

Before Sima Xuan could speak, one of his lackeys couldn't wait any longer. He directly pointed at Lin Ruiyang and shouted loudly.

They knew Lin Ruiyang was the Holy Son of Taichu Holy Land, but their Taiyan Academy was also a super-first-rate power. Although slightly weaker than Taichu Holy Land, it wasn't by much.

"Oh? I'd like to see how you'll be impolite to us!"

Before Lin Ruiyang could speak, Li Tianya, who had been silent all along, was the first to speak, letting out a cold laugh.

His cultivation wasn't as high as Sima Xuan's, and his combat power might be far inferior. However, this place was where Tianji Pavilion held its grand event. Anyone who dared to act here would be disrespecting Tianji Pavilion, and the hidden guards in the shadows would definitely come out to stop him immediately.

"Damn it, you refuse a toast and prefer a forfeit! Believe it or not, I'll just throw you into the lake to feed the fish!"

Seeing that Li Tianya dared to challenge him in front of his master, the lackey was instantly furious. He immediately reached out his large hand and grabbed towards Li Tianya's shoulder, actually intending to throw him into the lake.

The opponent's move was swift, and their action was extremely decisive. It was clear they were a ruthless person.

Obviously, this lackey was also very clear in his heart that once the Tianji Pavilion guards arrived, there would be no chance to act.

Only by finishing quickly and throwing Li Tianya into the lake would it be effective. By then, even if the Tianji Pavilion guards arrived, the deed would be done, and at most, there would only be a few verbal reprimands.

And Sima Xuan, who was nearby, watched all of this with a mocking expression, seemingly also intentionally condoning his subordinate's actions.

"Hmph, trash like you, you dare flaunt your power in front of me!"

Just as the lackey's large claw was about to touch Li Tianya's neck, he let out a roar and instantly leaped up from his seat.

Li Tianya turned his hand into a palm and directly grabbed the incoming wrist. Everything looked so natural; these movements happened in the blink of an eye.

Too fast!

The surrounding crowd hadn't even clearly seen what was happening when they saw Li Tianya suddenly exert force with both arms. The lackey's feet left the ground, and his entire body was lifted up just like that.

Immediately after, a perfect arc sliced through the sky, followed by a "plop" sound, a beautiful entry into the water, splashing up a large amount of water.

"Hmm?"

"Look quickly, someone fell into the water!"

As soon as the lackey fell into the water, it immediately attracted the attention of countless Heaven's Chosen on the boat, causing bursts of exclamations.

Those who could be invited were all Disciples with extraordinary talent from major powers. For such a person to accidentally fall into the lake was truly a disgrace to the Heaven's Chosen.

"Kid, you're courting death! You actually dared to fight back......."

The remaining lackey, seeing his companion fall into the lake, immediately became enraged and embarrassed. He swung his palm at Li Tianya, wanting to avenge the lackey who had just fallen into the water.

"Stop!"

Just at this moment, the space not far from the crowd suddenly stirred up ripples. A middle-aged man in a gray robe walked out from the void.

With every step he took, the surrounding void subtly showed signs of collapsing, and his entire Face was covered by a layer of white mist. His true appearance was unclear.

"This person is so strong!"

Feeling the constant pressure on the space around him, Lin Ruiyang's expression couldn't help but become a bit more serious.

Although the pressure this person gave him wasn't as intense as Xiao Yuanqing's, it wasn't much different.

It seems that Tianji Pavilion dispatched many experts from their Sect to hold this grand event.

Seeing the arrival of the guard, the lackey who was in the middle of attacking immediately withdrew his palm and took a step back with Sima Xuan, glaring fiercely at Lin Ruiyang and the other person.

"Sir, this person threw a Disciple of my Taiyan Academy into the water, disrupting the order here. Shouldn't they be expelled?"

Seeing the guard arrive, Sima Xuan immediately went up to him, completely losing his previous arrogant demeanor and becoming extremely humble.

Hearing this, Lin Ruiyang didn't offer any explanation. If Xiao Yuanqing hadn't invited him repeatedly, he wouldn't have participated in this grand event at all. If he could be expelled, that would be for the best.

The middle-aged guard didn't respond directly. Instead, his gaze swept over Sima Xuan and the other person, and an invisible pressure appeared out of thin air.

The lackey couldn't withstand this force and directly slumped to the ground, sweat beads constantly rolling down his cheeks as he gasped for breath.

"You two behave yourselves, there are plenty of empty seats next to you!"

The middle-aged guard's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing back on Sima Xuan and the other person, and he reprimanded them in an unquestionable tone.

He wasn't a fool. He had seen everything that happened here clearly when he was lurking in the shadows earlier.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. This guard didn't expel Lin Ruiyang and the others; instead, he reprimanded the Taiyan Academy side who had been thrown into the water.

One must know that behind Sima Xuan was not just Taiyan Academy, but also the Sima family, the foremost family in the Xuanhuang World.

Hundreds of gazes simultaneously looked at Lin Ruiyang and the other person, full of curiosity as to how Tianji Pavilion would openly reprimand the Emperor's Son of the Xuanhuang World's foremost family for the sake of a native Holy Son from the Eastern Wasteland and an unknown young man.
