131: Zhang Luqingsong's little calculation

With the middle-aged guard's reprimand, Sima Xuan and the others dared not retort. The Sima family's influence was indeed vast, but this was the Tianji Pavilion's territory, so they had no choice but to lower their heads.

"Kid, if you've got guts, leave your name..."

Just as he was about to leave, Sima Xuan still hadn't given up, staring provocatively at Li Tianya, his voice hysterical.

This guy actually dared to hit his subordinate right in front of him; it was like slapping his Face directly. Growing up, no one had ever dared to disrespect him like this.

"Listen carefully, your grandpa here doesn't change his name when he walks, nor his surname when he sits! I am Li Tianya from the Ancient Underworld Realm! Remember to call me Grandpa when you see me in the future!"

Li Tianya was not to be outdone. He immediately puffed out his chest, looked directly at Sima Xuan, and spoke with a resonant voice.

The Sima family was indeed slightly stronger than the Li family, but Li Tianya didn't care. If he were pushed too far, he would visit the Sima family's ancestral grave that very day.

"Very well, this young master remembers you..."

Hearing Li Tianya's words, Sima Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, clearly not expecting the other party to show no fear of the Sima family's power. He immediately felt his Face was somewhat disgraced, and after uttering a harsh threat, he flicked his sleeves and left directly.

"That kid is actually from the Ancient Underworld Realm. How was he invited here too?"

The surrounding people began whispering among themselves upon hearing Li Tianya's words, feeling very confused.

According to Tianji Pavilion's previous statement, this Unraveling Destiny event was mainly aimed at the Heaven's Chosen of the Xuanhuang World. They didn't expect people from other realms to get involved as well.

"You guys don't know yet! That kid is the famous 'Grave Robbing Hero' from the Ancient Underworld Realm. Speak softly, lest he takes notice of you and digs up your ancestral grave!"

Just then, someone present recognized Li Tianya and quietly retreated to the back, speaking cautiously.

The so-called "Grave Robbing Hero" was, to put it bluntly, a grave robber, and the older the ruins, the more they liked them.

Encountering such people, it was usually best to avoid them if possible. In short, don't offend them, lest your ancestral grave suffers.

"Excuse me, may we sit here?"

Just then, several young men in green robes walked over and asked, pointing to the seats next to Lin Ruiyang.

Hearing the newcomers' question, Lin Ruiyang's eyelids slightly lifted, and he sized up the three people before him.

Leading them was a young man with a distinctively angular Face. From his appearance, he seemed to be in his early twenties, but his actual age was unknown.

The two behind him, in their demeanor, all showed respect towards this young man.

However, Lin Ruiyang kept feeling that this young man in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had seen him before.

"Sit down!"

Lin Ruiyang withdrew his gaze. Although he still had many doubts, he responded softly. After all, those were the seats next to him, and he, Lin Ruiyang, had no right to prevent others from taking a seat.

"My name is Lu Qingsong. Lu Qingshan, the former Divine Child of Supreme Pavilion, is my cousin! Brother Lin should not be unfamiliar with Supreme Pavilion, right?"

As soon as the leading young man sat down, he proactively introduced himself, his attitude extremely amiable.

Supreme Pavilion was an existence on par with Taichu Holy Land and Donghua Holy Land. Moreover, it had developed extremely rapidly in recent years, subtly showing the possibility of surpassing the latter two.

Being able to develop and grow rapidly in a fiercely competitive place like the Middle Domain was inherently extremely difficult. This required not only one's own efforts but also a powerful force behind providing continuous support.

"Supreme Pavilion? Not familiar. Haven't been there. Perhaps I won't have the chance to interact with it in the future!"

Hearing the other party's words, Lin Ruiyang suddenly understood. So it was a case of enemies meeting on a narrow path. However, he still pretended to be calm, speaking in a nonchalant manner.

"Lu Qingshan died, which was quite convenient for you to get the position of Divine Child!"

Lin Ruiyang picked up his teacup, the corner of his mouth slightly curved upwards, and continued speaking.

"If you have something to say, just get straight to the point!"

Lin Ruiyang didn't like playing guessing games with people. He directly stated his intention, asking the other party to reveal their purpose.

He had seen countless people, and from the expressions of Lu Qingsong and the others, he could tell that the other party's Take the initiative to strike up a conversation was definitely not for making friends, but for another purpose.

"Good, hahahaha... Brother Lin is indeed straightforward!"

Hearing Lin Ruiyang's words, Lu Qingsong immediately burst into hearty laughter. He didn't expect Lin Ruiyang to be so forthright, which would make the subsequent conversation much easier.

The surrounding people were eager to move, trying to get closer, seemingly waiting for some big gossip.

Even many of the Heaven's Chosen in the central area were attracted by what was happening here.

After all, these were the Divine Child and Holy Son of the Xuanhuang World's top-tier forces. Even if they didn't say a word, just sitting there could attract a lot of attention.

In the area where the Taiyan Academy Disciples were located, many people also spotted Lin Ruiyang, and intense killing intent instantly surged out.

"Senior Apprentice Brother Huo, what's wrong? What happened?"

Among them, a Disciple from Taiyan Academy, seeing the abnormal expression on the Face of a direct Disciple next to him, asked.

"It's that kid! He killed Elder Qian in the Flower Market! Not only did Jingjue Ancient City not punish him for breaking the rules, but they even crippled the cultivation of Hall Master Gu, who wanted to uphold justice, and expelled him from the Ancient City!"

The so-called Senior Apprentice Brother Huo stared at Lin Ruiyang with bloodshot eyes, clenching his fists tightly in his sleeves, speaking indignantly.

"That kid doesn't seem to have anything particularly outstanding about him! Why would the Ancient City break its own rules for him, even willing to abandon the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall!"

More Taiyan Academy Disciples heard this and also looked over here, feeling very confused.

If he were in the Saint Realm, a leading position among the younger generation, it would be understandable for the Ancient City to make an exception to protect him out of love for talent. But Lin Ruiyang's cultivation seemed too ordinary.

"If it weren't for the Ancient City protecting him, the Divine Child would have killed him long ago. How could he still be alive now!"

"Today is a good Opportunity. Let's humiliate him properly. It's best to find a way to make him die here!"

That so-called Senior Apprentice Brother Huo had chilling killing intent, his eyes almost spitting fire. Elder Qian was his uncle, but he was killed by Lin Ruiyang, leaving him with much less support in the academy.

Moreover, after the Qian family received the news, they also gave him a death order, demanding that he must keep Lin Ruiyang in the Ancient City.

"Huo Qiliang, you've set your sights on the secrets he possesses, haven't you!"

Just then, another direct Disciple of Taiyan Academy, standing nearby, teased with a half-smile.

Lin Ruiyang, with a cultivation of Dongxu Realm Stage Two, killed Elder Qian, who was in the Saint Realm mid-stage, with one move. Anyone with a functioning brain could tell that the other party definitely had a great Opportunity on him.

Everyone knew tacitly that avenging a fellow Disciple was just a pretense; the real goal was to claim the Opportunity for themselves.

...

On the other side, Lin Ruiyang quietly watched Lu Qingsong, wanting to see what the other party would do next.

"Miss Li is the woman this young master fancies. You'd best stay away from her! From now on, you are not allowed to claim to be her fiancé!"

Seeing Lin Ruiyang was so easy to talk to, Lu Qingsong simply stopped pretending. He immediately changed his expression; his originally handsome and amiable Face instantly became ferocious, and he spoke with a cold, hoarse voice.

All along, he had coveted Li Yiran's beauty, but at that time, Lu Qingshan was still the Divine Child, and he was the one designated for the marriage alliance with Piao Miao Sect.

At that time, he was merely a direct Disciple. How could he dare to compete with the Divine Child for a woman? But now it was different. Lu Qingshan was dead, and he, Lu Qingsong, had become the Divine Child. He was going to reclaim everything that should have belonged to him.

"Sorry! Li Yiran is originally my fiancée, and I won't give her up to anyone! Supreme Pavilion's Divine Child, is that very impressive? Sorry, in my eyes, you're no different from trash!"

Lin Ruiyang shrugged. He had seen this kind of brainless wife-snatching plot too many times in the idiotic dramas on Blue Star. You couldn't indulge people like this.
