Chapter 213: Cheng Tianhao’s Status (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Killing intent surged in Xiao Shi’s eyes. He was already prepared to give up this identity. Even if he killed the Echelon disciple of the Swift Shadow Palace with this identity and caused a huge disaster here, it would not involve his original identity.
After all, between these two identities, there was no connection.
Moreover, even Cheng Tianhao and the others did not know that Nie Jie’s identity was fake. He only needed to return to his identity as Xiao Shi and make Nie Jie disappear after killing him. Then no one would be able to find Nie Jie. In the future, he could find an opportunity to create a new identity.
In any case, with his current authority in Tree Shadow City, he could casually create a new identity.
Although it was a pity to give up his identity as Nie Jie, since he had already attracted such trouble, then there’s nothing he can do. In any case, when Xiao Shi acted as Nie Jie back then, he had thought that he would give up this identity one day.
As long as his true identity was not exposed, it was fine.
Xiao Shi looked calm on the surface, but he was actually already prepared to attack. As long as he waited for this person to approach, he would immediately attack and kill him!
After all, the other party was at the Blood Martial Realm. Xiao Shi did not dare to underestimate him and was prepared to use the other party’s mentality of underestimation and kill him in one strike when he was caught off guard!
Feng Suxing approached, just as he was about to reach the Blood Beast, Xiao Shi was about to attack.
Whoosh!
A figure suddenly appeared outside the treehouse.
“Hmm?” Feng Suxing stopped in his tracks. He turned around. He immediately saw a woman in a silver robe with a silver crown on her head and a silver ring around her neck.
Their gazes collided in the air. Sparks seemed to fly. The woman who arrived was also an Echelon disciple of the Swift Shadow Palace. However, she was an Echelon disciple from another faction.
It was obvious.
This woman was also here for Xiao Shi’s blood beast.
Almost the moment this woman arrived, several figures appeared outside Xiao Shi’s treehouse. They were the Echelon disciples.
Echelon disciples of the various factions of the Swift Shadow Palace gathered outside Xiao Shi’s tree house. These Echelon disciples were all hostile to each other. They were all here for the blood beast.
“They actually came so quickly!” Feng Suxing’s expression darkened. Although they had long expected the people from the other factions to come and snatch the blood beasts, they did not expect them to come so quickly.
He gave everyone a cold look. He said in a deep voice, “This blood beast belongs to Cheng Tianhao. As a member of our faction, we have the right to keep his things. You have no right to snatch it here!”
As soon as he finished speaking, an Echelon disciple immediately sneered. “Ridiculous. According to your logic, Cheng Tianhao is a disciple of our Swift Shadow Palace. Cheng Tianhao’s things are also the sect’s things. As a member of the sect, we have the right to help Cheng Tianhao safeguard his things.” Feng Suxing narrowed his eyes. “Does that mean you’re here to snatch it?”
The other Echelon disciple curled his lips. “Cut the crap! Since everyone wants this blood beast, let’s see who has the ability to obtain it.” As he spoke, his aura erupted, causing a storm to form around his body.
The other Echelon disciples were not to be outdone.
Boom!
Under the eruption of so many of their auras, Xiao Shi’s tree house could not withstand it. Amidst the explosion, it shattered into pieces and exploded.
These Echelon disciples had all reached the Blood Martial Realm! And according to the rules of the Swift Shadow Palace, Echelon disciples had to step into the Blood Martial Realm with their true blood. Therefore, any one of these Echelon disciples was much stronger than ordinary Blood Martial Realm cultivators.
It was even more incomparable to the demon statue in Blood Martial Realm that Xiao Shi had in the game venue back then.
Xiao Shi could clearly feel how powerful each of them was. According to the current situation, these Echelon disciples would soon start a chaotic battle.
Xiao Shi decided not to be in a hurry to attack. He would wait and see.
Under the impact of the auras of these Echelon disciples, the smell of gunpowder between them became stronger.
Just as a few of the Echelon disciples could not help but want to attack, “How dare you!!” A low roar suddenly echoed from Tree Shadow City.
This angry roar seemed to come from the entire Tree Shadow City. Ripples appeared in the air. It spread. Under this spreading sound wave, the aura on all the Echelon disciples was like a burning flame that was suddenly extinguished by a basin of cold water.
They could no longer release any aura. At the same time, the surrounding trees shot out branches one after another, binding their bodies tightly, making them unable to move.
The expressions of these Echelon disciples changed. They all turned around and looked in a direction behind them. A figure condensed there. It was a dignified man in a light green robe with his hands behind his back.
He just stood there. Yet it gave off the feeling of a towering and huge ancient tree. Even these Echelon disciples in the Blood Martial Realm looked extremely small in front of him. It was as if the other party only needed a finger to easily crush them to death.
“Fifth… Fifth Elder!” These Echelon disciples all lowered their heads.
The dignified man who had appeared in front of them now was the fifth elder who presided over the Tree Shadow City.
Under the gaze of the Fifth Elder, they all felt as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast.
The Fifth Elder looked coldly at these Echelon disciples. A deep and dignified voice exploded in their minds at the same time. “Although the Swift Shadow Palace doesn’t prohibit disciples from attacking each other, as Echelon disciples, you represent the image of our Swift Shadow Palace. It’s improper for you to attack here!!”
Every word he said was as if a bolt of lightning had exploded in the minds of these Echelon disciples. Especially the last sentence. There was even a stern reprimand. This made these Echelon disciples’ faces turn pale, their limbs turn cold, and their bodies break out in cold sweat.
“I don’t care how you are in other places. In short, in my Tree Shadow City, if anyone dares to continue fooling around, don’t blame me for being heartless.” The Fifth Elder’s gaze was like lightning. He swept his cold gaze across these Echelon disciples. It made these Echelon disciples tremble. “Get lost!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the branches that bound everyone retracted from their bodies. These Echelon disciples trembled. They no longer dared to stay here for a second. They all left Tree Shadow City as quickly as possible.
The Fifth Elder’s figure also dissipated from the spot. It was as if it had never appeared. From the beginning to the end, he did not even pay attention to Xiao Shi. He did not care about the blood beast beside Xiao Shi.
However, Xiao Shi knew.
The Fifth Elder had clearly appeared this time to help him resolve the crisis.
Xiao Shi believed that with his status in Tree Shadow City, it was impossible for the Fifth Elder, who presided over Tree Shadow City, to stand up for him. The reason why the other party appeared this time was because of Cheng Tianhao.
Xiao Shi was not the only one who realized this. The Echelon disciples who retreated also understood the reason. This shocked them. Although they knew that Cheng Tianhao’s performance in the Blood Sect’s game this time made the sect value him greatly, they did not expect that even the Fifth Elder would also step forward for this!
Now, with the Fifth Elder’s words, as long as Xiao Shi stayed in Tree Shadow City, no one in the entire Swift Shadow Palace would dare to snatch Xiao Shi’s blood beast.
“Damn it! Fifth Elder actually interfered.”
While these Echelon disciples felt that it was a pity, they also felt a sense of danger. Cheng Tianhao’s rapid rise made them all feel danger. It was because the other party’s rise was too fast.
He had clearly just become an Echelon disciple. However, he instantly became the most dazzling figure in the Swift Shadow Palace. Even the Echelon disciples of the same faction as Cheng Tianhao felt a little upset.
Initially, in terms of seniority, Cheng Tianhao was only considered a junior to them.
But now, with how much the sect valued him, Cheng Tianhao would probably be above them when he came out of the Land of Inheritance..
