"Three-Inch Nail... Haha pff..."
Perhaps hearing such words for the first time, a young and handsome Jie Sect Immortal beside Yu Yuan could not help but laugh out loud.
Immediately, he realized how inappropriate his behavior was, his face turned pale, and he hastily stepped back, bowing to Lv Yue, "I meant no mockery, please forgive me, senior brother!"
The more he tried to explain, the angrier Lv Yue became in his heart.
Consider him, a mighty Immortal Golden Immortal, who wouldn't dare claim to be invincible among his peers with his Plague Technique, but at least it was hard to find a rival.
However, cultivating this Plague Technique greatly harmed the physical body.
Once upon a time, he too possessed a handsome and suave body, but because his skin, muscle and bone were constantly eroded by deadly poison, he gradually became the emaciated, hunchbacked figure he is now.
But in this ruthless Primordial era, who cares about a mere shell of the body?
What people care about is always strength!
And Lv Yue has strength indeed!
Especially after joining the Jie Sect and having the support of a Saint, over the years, he didn't know how many short-sighted Immortal Gods had been tormented by his Plague Technique to the point of preferring death.
This illustrious record of battles had also made a great name for him within the Sect, and he gathered several disciples who were also proficient in this technique to jointly research the miraculous Plague Techniques on Nine Dragons Island, living a rather comfortable and happy life.
Within the Jie Sect, there were many small groups like theirs, outwardly friendly but scheming against each other in secret.
Even so, no one had ever dared to publicly mock his appearance!
Yet today, someone dared to expose his flaws to his face!
And it was just a mere Profound Immortal upper grade Third Generation Disciple!
Lv Yue watched the tall young Profound Immortal in front of him, secretly speculating on where he got the courage to provoke him!
Could it be related to that Yu Yuan who made a commotion on his Nine Dragons Island a few days ago, causing some to become restless?
It seemed necessary to remind them again what the consequences of offending him would be!
Thinking this way, Lv Yue said indifferently: "No matter who your master is, since you dare to be disrespectful to your elder, then I shall teach you in place of your master what the rules are!"
While speaking, strands of green began to emanate from the bone staff in his hand.
At this moment, a voice of Primordial Spirit Transmission sounded: "Junior Brother Lv Yue, don't tell me you don't even recognize your nephew Yu Yuan?"
It was Yao Heavenly Monarch!
Lv Yue was slightly startled, then as if he understood something, the green light on the bone staff instantly disappeared.
Seeing this, Yu Yuan frowned slightly, inwardly sighing with pity.
It was clear that Lv Yue had received a reminder.
And he could guess who this person reminding Lv Yue was.
Chapter provided via *.
Sure enough, in the next moment, he received a message transmitted by the Primordial Spirit Transmission Method: "Nephew Yu Yuan, whatever grievances you two may have, please do not cause trouble on the territory of the Ten Heavenly Lords."
Yu Yuan did not reply.
Yao Heavenly Monarch, on the surface, seemed to be neutral, but the act of reminding Lv Yue already showed a bias.
Regardless of whether it was because of his personal relationship with Lv Yue or simply to maintain the dignity of the Ten Heavenly Lords.
Now that Lv Yue was aware of his identity, he would certainly not act recklessly any longer.
While Yu Yuan was inwardly lamenting, Lv Yue was seriously observing him, as if wanting to reassess the younger disciple in front of him.
The person here was Yu Yuan!
Naturally, he couldn't be seen as an ordinary Third Generation Disciple anymore.
So his "hidden profound light atop his head" as an upper-grade Profound Immortal must surely be a deliberate disguise!
Since he was able to revert Zhou Xin and Li Qi, two high-grade Heavenly Immortals of the second generation, back to their true forms with his own strength, at the very least, he possesses the Dao Xing of a Heavenly Immortal.
The brown cylindrical stick he held in his mouth earlier, which I didn't examine closely, now seems to be made from some highly toxic Spirit Grass upon closer inspection.
This indicates that his body has a very strong resistance to these poisons, and he might even possess a body that is invulnerable to all poisons!
If that's really the case, then Yu Yuan would naturally be my nemesis!
After all, my own abilities are all concentrated on the Plague Technique.
If the Plague Technique doesn't work, I might not necessarily be his match!
Another point that greatly alarmed Lv Yue was that the other party, knowing his identity, still deliberately provoked him, wanting to make him lose his composure and strike first... This calculation and confidence, the mere thought sent shivers down his spine.
If it were not for Yao Heavenly Monarch's timely reminder just now, he might have already fallen into the opponent's trap!
After all, once the fight really starts, if I cannot defeat the opponent, my reputation will be tarnished; and as a second-generation disciple, even if I can win, it will be considered an unfair victory.
Regardless of the outcome of our fight, the fault of attacking a junior sect member would undoubtedly be mine!
Not to mention anything else, the Golden Spirit elder sister who has already attained the Dao Fruit of Daluo would certainly not let me off easily.
It's said that she was already displeased when I last went to Penglai Holy Realm to lodge a complaint.
If I were to strike her disciple first...
Thinking of this, Lv Yue felt a chill on his back and couldn't help but curse in his heart: This fiend is truly insidious and cunning!
The changing expressions on his face were all captured by Yu Yuan and the others.
Aside from Yu Yuan, the Jie Sect Immortals were all confused.
Wasn't this Lv Yue brother supposed to punish this third-generation disciple?
Why all of a sudden is there no action?
Could it be that he is pondering how to deal with him?
It was said Lv Yue brother's Plague Technique excels at torturing others, even a high-grade Heavenly Immortal suffering from his Plague Technique would find life worse than death.
At this thought, a wave of sympathetic glances were cast towards Yu Yuan by the crowd of Jie Sect Immortals.
What they did not know was that Lv Yue had already decided against making a move.
But just now, he had already made such "bold declarations," and now it seemed he was having trouble backing down.
At this moment, what he was pondering was not how to deal with Yu Yuan, but how to smoothly and subtly dissolve the current situation!
After thinking it over, he decides to simply feign confusion.
After all, Yao Heavenly Monarch had used the Primordial Spirit Transmission Method to remind him, meaning that besides him and Yao Heavenly Monarch, none of the other Jie Sect Immortals present knew of Yu Yuan's identity!
With this in mind, he let out a light snort and said indifferently, "The Curved Realm Ark is about to open. This time, since it's your first offense, I will let you off. But should there be any further disrespect towards your superiors, severe punishment will be indisputably meted out!"
Upon hearing these words, the surrounding Immortal Gods, particularly the disciples following him, cast puzzled glances at him.
This statement wasn't inherently wrong, but it didn't seem like his usual style!
When did you start being so magnanimous?
Lv Yue himself knew that such words were not in line with his usual demeanor, but he had no choice.
He couldn't very well say outright: This is Yu Yuan, who is deliberately trying to provoke me into attacking!
Wouldn't that just confirm his tendency to bully the weak and fear the strong?
So even if the surrounding glances made him uncomfortable, he still forced himself to strut past Yu Yuan, leaning on his gleaming white Bone Staff.
Just then, a sharp warning flashed through his heart. His keen Divine Thought, honed as a Golden Immortal, precisely caught the source of danger: an iron leg wrapped in black trousers slipped between his feet and then swept gently backward, striking his stick-like right leg with the accuracy of a whip.
A tremendous force transmitted from that leg—a mighty force that was extremely swift—Lv Yue, as a grand Golden Immortal, was completely unable to react.
What's more, he couldn't maintain his balance at all, and as his head tipped forward and feet lifted, he was tripped onto the ground, face-planting in an embarrassing fall!
