"Hey hey hey, Elder Tiandao, please listen to me. I'm really just going out to handle some business, I absolutely have no intention of escaping."
Everyone was stunned and looked up.
They saw Zhang Ergou being held by the Tiandao Elder in a very strange posture.
And he himself hadn't realized that the Tiandao Elder had already brought him to the sky above the inner sect plaza.
"Is that so? You kid, tell me, what important matter is so urgent that you have to attend to it now?"
The Tiandao Elder stopped, suspended in mid-air, and looked at Zhang Ergou with great interest, as if he were genuinely interested in what Zhang Ergou had to say.
Seeing that the Tiandao Elder had stopped, Zhang Ergou thought the elder was truly interested in hearing his explanation.
His mind raced, trying to find a suitable excuse.
"You kid, aren't you afraid of losing too badly and not daring to go on the Fengyun Stage?"
Before Zhang Ergou could speak, the Tiandao Elder spoke again.
"What a joke, how could I possibly lose? Besides, it's just the number one on the Fengyun List. Defeating her is a piece of cake."
This was Zhang Ergou's true thought, and the Tiandao Elder didn't think the boy was boasting.
Ever since Zhang Ergou broke through to the late stage of Golden Core, with his monstrous talent and endless tricks,
There were indeed few opponents below the Nascent Soul stage.
However, these words fell differently on the ears of the disciples in the plaza.
They all thought Zhang Ergou was being overly arrogant, not even taking the top ranker on the Fengyun List seriously.
"Pah, he's so scared he doesn't dare to accept the challenge, yet he still boasts."
"Exactly. Isn't he afraid the wind up high will blow his tongue off? He really says anything."
......
In the plaza, the inner sect disciples did not lower their voices. The voices of them denouncing Zhang Ergou all at once reached Zhang Ergou's ears, who was still staring at the Tiandao Elder.
"Elder Tiandao, you're setting me up..."
Zhang Ergou roared and looked down, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.
It was only then that he realized he had been tricked by the Tiandao Elder.
Judging from the reactions of the crowd in the plaza, Zhang Ergou knew he had offended more than just Liao Yiyi.
Liao Yiyi still stood calmly on the Fengyun Stage, watching Zhang Ergou arguing with the Tiandao Elder in mid-air, a flicker of surprise in her eyes.
She had never seen the Tiandao Elder treat any disciple so kindly.
Looking at the way Zhang Ergou and the Tiandao Elder interacted, it was something many disciples couldn't even dream of.
......
"Kid, I'm not some bastard who can be insulted behind his back."
The Tiandao Elder bit down particularly hard on the words "bastard."
After saying this, Zhang Ergou was rapidly smashed towards the ground in a strange posture.
"Ah... Old man Tiandao, you're not playing by the rules."
To avoid disfigurement, Zhang Ergou quickly controlled his sword, thus avoiding landing in the crowd in the plaza.
If he had fallen into the crowd, the inner sect disciples would have flayed him alive.
This encounter also made him realize that he couldn't casually speak ill of anyone.
At this point, it was too late to try and escape, not to mention the Tiandao Elder overseeing from above.
Helplessly, Zhang Ergou controlled his sword and landed on the Fengyun Stage.
"Hello, Senior Sister Liao. You're here quite early."
Zhang Ergou greeted her familiarly and waved at Liao Yiyi.
Liao Yiyi was taken aback by Zhang Ergou.
Wasn't he very aloof three days ago? Why was he like a changed person now?
If she hadn't felt that Zhang Ergou's aura hadn't changed, she would have thought it wasn't Zhang Ergou at all. Sudian Novel Network
"Mhm." Liao Yiyi hummed softly, as a reply.
"Um, Senior Sister Liao, can we discuss something?" Zhang Ergou walked mysteriously to a distance of less than ten feet from Liao Yiyi.
Liao Yiyi immediately looked at Zhang Ergou with great caution, but a trace of curiosity remained in her heart: "What is it?"
"That..." Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Ergou's face turned red.
This time, not only Liao Yiyi, but everyone in the plaza also quieted down, craning their necks to wait for Zhang Ergou to speak.
"Senior Sister Liao, for the sake of your reputation, let's just go through the motions, alright?"
After speaking, Zhang Ergou looked at Liao Yiyi with anticipation.
Liao Yiyi's expression turned cold at a visible speed.
The faces of the inner sect disciples in the plaza also became strange. This brat really wasn't afraid of death, to say such things.
Setting aside the fact that Liao Yiyi was the one who challenged him.
Just based on Liao Yiyi's status as the top ranker on the Fengyun List, she could not casually play along on the Fengyun Stage.
Zhang Ergou completely disregarded the Fengyun Stage. Not to mention Liao Yiyi, the other forty-nine masters on the Fengyun List all wore expressions of murderous intent.
They wished they could go on stage and tear Zhang Ergou apart.
"Aurora Curse."
Liao Yiyi let out a soft shout and launched her attack before Zhang Ergou could react.
A dazzling beam of light shot directly towards him.
Zhang Ergou hurriedly dodged, knowing that if he were hit by the light, he would be skinned alive even if he didn't die.
Liao Yiyi went for the kill right away, completely disarming Zhang Ergou.
If Liao Yiyi had felt a trace of curiosity towards Zhang Ergou before.
Then Zhang Ergou's subsequent reckless actions had thoroughly angered Liao Yiyi, so she immediately unleashed her signature magical skill.
As Zhang Ergou retreated, his expression also became serious.
If he hadn't reacted quickly and caught her off guard, Liao Yiyi might have succeeded.
Seeing that Zhang Ergou had dodged her attack, Liao Yiyi's expression remained unchanged, but she was greatly alarmed inwardly.
This was her long-established magical skill, and no one had ever managed to dodge her attack.
Zhang Ergou had so easily neutralized it, and Liao Yiyi's expression became much more solemn.
"Senior Sister Liao, that's not fair. Are you trying to sneak attack?"
After retreating a full ten feet and feeling much safer, Zhang Ergou shouted at Liao Yiyi again.
However, before Zhang Ergou could steady himself, Liao Yiyi transformed into a streak of rainbow light and rushed towards him.
"Golden Light Dissipation."
A circular area covered by a glow suddenly appeared above Zhang Ergou's head. No matter where he moved, the beam of light followed him.
"Go."
Zhang Ergou knew that constant evasion wouldn't work. He unleashed a palm strike.
......
The two fought back and forth on the stage, but after half an hour, neither had inflicted significant damage on the other.
Zhang Ergou still moved around the stage quickly, as if nothing were amiss.
Although Liao Yiyi was chasing and attacking Zhang Ergou, her face was already flushed, indicating that she was quite angry.
This was the first time someone had been toyed with on the Fengyun Stage.
Liao Yiyi secretly vowed to teach Zhang Ergou a severe lesson.
It wasn't too serious, just a few months of lying in bed...
