Chapter 1606: Refreshing One’s Worldview (1)

Back on the Southern Cloud Viewing Platform.

Mingshi Yin shuddered and lowered his head.

Duanmu Sheng was puzzled. He asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

Duanmu Sheng did not have a good look at Lu Zhou’s face earlier. Even Xuanyi and Nan Li, a great divine king and divine lord respectively, could only barely see Lu Zhou’s face, let alone a Dao Saint like him. In his mind, there was no way Mingshi Yin would be defeated.

Mingshi Yin sighed. “He’s an expert.”

“Expert? How powerful?” Duanmu Sheng asked as he raised his Overlord Spear, looking as though he was ready to leap down. He said, “Let me experience it for myself! Previously, I only used 50% of my strength during my battle with Zhang He. I should spar with such an expert!”

“Trust me. It’s better not to go,” Mingshi Yin said.

“The Scarlet Emperor said that no matter what kind of powerful opponents we encounter, we must go all out. We must beat Xuanyi Palace to the ground in Southern Split Mountain. With that, when the true competition for the commanders begins, we won’t have to fight,” Duanmu Sheng said clearly.

“Why won’t you trust me?” Mingshi Yin shook his head.

A Vajra said, puzzled, “Xuanyi Palace actually has an expert Mr. Ri can’t defeat?”

“In this world, there’ll always be people better than you. It’s best to keep a low profile. Don’t underestimate Xuanyi Palace,” Mingshi Yin said.

“???”

The four Vajras looked at Mingshi Yin in confusion. After Mingshi Yin had provoked and scolded Xuanyi Palace the most. They could not understand why he would say these words now. It was truly confusing.

Duanmu Sheng lifted his Overlord Spear and said, “Wait for me here. In less than 15 minutes, I’ll definitely beat him to the ground!”

Upon hearing this, the four Vajras bowed in unison. “We’ll wait for Mr. Duanmu’s good news.”

Duanmu Sheng leaped down.

The four Vajras were about to walk to the edge to watch when Mingshi Yin stopped them and said, “Come, come and have a cup of tea.”

“Aren’t you worried, Mr. Ri?”

“Worry my as*,” Mingshi Yin said, “We should run away after we finish our tea.”

“…”

The four Vajras’ expressions were not too good at this moment. After all, they represent the Scarlet Emperor’s dignity. It was fine Mingshi Yin had no intention of preserving the Scarlet Emperor’s dignity, but he even wanted to throw it away.

“Have some tea,” Mingshi Yin said as he sipped from his teacup.

“Mr. Duanmu must have already begun to fight. Let’s go and have a look.”

The four Vajras walked toward the edge. However, before they arrived, Duanmu Sheng suddenly shot up from below.

Duanmu Sheng’s face and body were covered in dirt and dust.

The four Vajras were stunned.

“Mr. Duanmu… won?”

“Uh…” Duanmu Sheng looked embarrassed as he said, “In fact, I only went down to have look.”

‘So did he win or lose?’ The four Vajras grew even more confused. Looking at Duanmu Sheng’s dirty face and strange expression, they could not figure it out even more. It was solemn, embarrassed, and it strangely contained a hint of happiness.

“Mr. Duanmu?”

“Why are you so annoying?” Duanmu Sheng stabbed his Overlord Spear into the ground. “Isn’t it normal to be defeated when faced with an expert? Victories and defeats are common among warriors. Don’t tell me you’ve never lost?! Do you have to poke at my sore spot?”

The four Vajras were stunned.

Mingshi Yin could not help but spit out the tea in his mouth. ‘When did Third Senior Brother become so eloquent?’

Mingshi Yin rose to his feet and said, “Alright, alright, let’s hurry up and escape.”

“Escape?”

The four Vajras and the two Great Void Seeds’ owners were representatives of the Scarlet Emperor. If they left just like that, would it not be a disgrace to the Scarlet Emperor?

The four Vajras were about to speak when Mingshi Yin looked at Duanmu Sheng meaningfully. With just a swoosh, Mingshi Yin flew toward the flying chariot.

“Mr. Ri?!”

Duanmu Sheng shouted, “Wait for me!”

Duanmu Sheng did not hesitate and flew after Mingshi Yin.

The four Vajras were left behind, looking at each other in bewilderment. Even if the opponent was very strong, it should not be like this, right?

“Aren’t they usually very arrogant? Why are they like completely different people today?”

“That’s right. They’re always arrogant. This change is too drastic.”

“Perhaps, the opponent is really strong?”

The four Vajras walked to the edge and looked down, but there was no one down there. Then, they looked at the Dao hall, but it was shrouded by the clouds so they could not see anything. In the end, they sighed and shook their heads.

“There’ll always be someone stronger in the world. It seems like a new expert has appeared. This can be considered a lesson to both of them.”

“This is very normal. Just like how a child is fierce in front of his family, they’re timid when faced with outsiders. How are we going to report this to the Scarlet Emperor when we return?”

“Beautify it a little…”

“That’s all we can do.”

With that, the four Vajras cupped their fists together at the northern Dao hall. One of them said, “After today, it’s clear our strength is lacking. We’ll meet again another day.”

A faint voice rang from the northern Dao hall. “Send a message to those two. Tell them: just because you’ve learned a few petty tricks doesn’t mean you can act impudently in Southern Split Mountain. Cultivate properly. The next time I see you, if you don’t improve, I’ll definitely teach you a lesson.”

“???”

The four Vajras were angry, and their expressions were unsightly. Nonetheless, they bowed and said, “Thank you for your advice. We’ll convey the message.”
