Chapter 117: Truly a Remarkable Demon

Page (1/3)

Chi Xiangdong turned around and was startled. The entire floor of the brothel was filled with female cultivators all glaring at him, their faces clouded with displeasure, as if daring him to speak another word and they would come to blows. Chi Xiangdong was speechless. Had he not just spoken the truth? That Mo Yutang really looked like a demon! But he dared not say another word; he couldn’t afford to lose face here. Yet the female cultivator seemed unwilling to let him off.

“Apologize!” she snapped. “Brother Mo is so handsome, how can you bear to insult him?”
“Apologize!”
More than a dozen female cultivators echoed in unison. Even some male cultivators stood up.

Chi Xiangdong refused to back down. Damn apologies! You have your opinions, I have mine; why can’t they coexist? He suddenly stood up, about to speak. Suddenly, someone grabbed his arm. Turning his head, he saw it was Gou Haitian. Chi Xiangdong was surprised. Though Gou Haitian was young, he was never one to avoid trouble—so why was he afraid now? Gou Haitian’s eyes were fixed straight out the window. Chi Xiangdong followed his gaze and, upon seeing clearly, shuddered involuntarily.

A flash of white light appeared on the teleportation array, and three cultivators stepped through. Among them was a man dressed in azure, with eyes bright and extraordinary bearing.

“Su… Brother Su!” he whispered.

The newcomers were none other than Su Yizhao and his companions. The moment Su Yizhao stepped out of the teleportation array, his spiritual awareness instinctively swept over a hundred-mile radius. Suddenly, he seemed to hear someone calling him and looked toward the sound. A brothel named “Chang Lai!” Two cultivators poked their heads out of the window, excitedly watching him. Su Yizhao recognized them as Chi Xiangdong and Gou Haitian and smiled. “You two have no ambition, huh? Instead of focusing on cultivation, you come to a brothel!”

“Who’s that?” Qin Hongyi, who had been watching Su Yizhao, asked curiously.

Gou Jianren smiled wryly. “Lately, visiting brothels has become a trend. Not just these two.”

Su Yizhao was shocked. Visiting brothels had become a trend? The world was truly going downhill! No, he had to drag these two away quickly. He said to Gou Jianren and Qin Hongyi, “There are two acquaintances in the brothel ahead; we need to get them out! Wait here a moment!”

Before the two could respond, Su Yizhao vanished.

“You two should be cultivating, not wasting time here! Get out!” Su Yizhao suddenly appeared inside the brothel and shouted at the still excited Gou Haitian and Chi Xiangdong.

“Not leaving! He must apologize!”
“Right! He must apologize!”

Su Yizhao was startled and turned to scan the crowd. Over a dozen male and female cultivators glared at him angrily, as if saying no apology, no leaving. Chi Xiangdong and Gou Haitian laughed behind him. Their aura was absolutely solid!

Su Yizhao asked puzzled, “Apologize? Apologize for what?”

A female cultivator shouted back, “He said Brother Mo Yutang is a demon. You must apologize!”

The crowd stared fiercely. Su Yizhao, undaunted, asked, “Where is Mo Yutang?”

They all pointed to the sky.

Across Vast City, cheers erupted once again. Under the Heavenly Ranking List, a crowd of cultivators had gathered. Zeng Ziping stood second on the right, Lang Fengchun first, but clearly a spot remained empty to Lang Fengchun’s left. Tens of millions of cultivators focused their spiritual awareness on that first spot. Almost all the Heavenly Ranking cultivators had arrived, but the first place was missing. What did the number one of the continent, the dark horse, look like?

The city gradually fell silent. Tens of millions of cultivators braced themselves to cheer for the appearance of the continent’s number one.

Inside the Chang Lai brothel, Su Yizhao looked up and saw the Heavenly Ranking List. On the first row, first spot, three bold crimson characters “Su Yizhao” shone before his eyes. His whole body trembled.

Number one on the Heavenly Ranking! The continent’s number one—was it really him?

“The one ranked third is Brother Mo Yutang. What? Are you enchanted? Shouldn’t you apologize?”

A voice came from behind Su Yizhao. He looked past Lang Fengchun and Zeng Ziping, his gaze settling on Mo Yutang. One breath… two breaths…

Chi Xiangdong grew worried. Gou Haitian waved his hand before his eyes. This number one of the continent—shouldn’t be that enchanting, right?

Su Yizhao saw the waving hand and snapped back to reality. Damn! Is there really such a handsome man? Even though cultivators can change their appearances, there’s no need to be that handsome! More feminine than women!

So he turned and said, “Exactly, he’s a demon!”

The crowd was stunned by his blunt statement. When they realized what had been said, outrage flared.

“What? Say that again? You dare to slander Brother Mo, a cultivator, you vulgar mortal?”

The silence over Vast City was shattered by a sharp scream. Nearby, the spiritual awareness of hundreds of thousands of cultivators converged.

Su Yizhao said seriously, “He looks so demon-like—if not a demon, then what?”

He wasn’t looking to cause trouble. But who told him he was first on the Heavenly Ranking List? Since he couldn’t be low-key, he might as well be louder!

Mo Yutang evidently heard the conversation and shot a bewitching glare, shouting, “You, self-mutilate and avoid death!”

Lang Fengchun and Zeng Ziping also cast glances at him; upon seeing his face, they shuddered. Zeng Ziping immediately tried to stop Mo Yutang: “Brother Mo, no, let it go!”

Mo Yutang exploded, “Don’t think just because you’re ranked ahead of me you can lecture me. I don’t need your lessons!”

Lang Fengchun couldn’t stand it either, whispering, “Brother Mo…”

“Lang Fengchun, same to you! Being ahead of me is just luck. I don’t need your lectures!” Mo Yutang was furious.

Originally, the four great geniuses of Vast City had never competed or been ranked precisely. But after this Heavenly Ranking contest, Mo Yutang was only fourth, with no chance of rising. How could he not be angry?

But he could bear all that.

He wasn’t shortsighted; as long as he worked hard, there would be chances to surpass them.

But now, an ordinary cultivator dared to humiliate him? Even worse, these two dared to lecture him!

Zeng Ziping and Lang Fengchun seemed to understand his temper and stopped trying to persuade him, their eyes silently saying, “Go ahead.”

Mo Yutang smiled seductively and shouted at Su Yizhao, “Did you hear that? Self-mutilate to avoid death!”

More and more cultivators gathered their spiritual awareness, their eyes full of “serves you right” expressions.

You should just watch the show quietly. Are you really able to humiliate a Heavenly Ranking cultivator? Serves you right!

Chi Xiangdong looked worried. Gou Haitian was excited.

Su Yizhao was calm, then suddenly asked, “Here, killing someone isn’t illegal, right?”

Gou Haitian whispered, “Killing’s not allowed, but beating someone up should be fine!”

Getting into a fight, with the backing of the Gou Family Auction House, would be covered!

After all, this was the cultivation world! Sparring and fighting was normal!

Su Yizhao nodded, “Got it!”

Above, Mo Yutang naturally heard everything and roared in fury, “I’ll kill your entire family!”
