Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Aren’t You Going to Express Some Anger?
"Immortal Phoenix Divine Son, y-y-y-you... Did my clan sister Daoting offend you in some way? Please, feel free to teach her a lesson. Just... just spare her worthless life."
After landing and bowing, Kong Daoze spoke, his voice trembling.
A helpless look immediately appeared on his face.
He knew, of course, that Kong Daoting could be proud and spoiled. She wasn’t truly malicious, but she had the disposition of a Little Witch.
But he never imagined that this time, the Little Witch had provoked this Unparalleled Immortal Phoenix Divine Son.
"Immortal Phoenix Divine Son?"
Hearing Kong Daoxi’s form of address, Kong Daoting was completely dumbfounded.
’Could it be? Is this young man actually an Unparalleled Divine Son of our Immortal Phoenix Peacock Lineage? Or perhaps an Unparalleled Divine Son awakened from the ancient Venerable Era? But... why don’t I recognize him?’
It wasn’t just Kong Daoting who was dumbfounded; Chu Shaocheng and the many spectating Cultivators were also stunned and utterly baffled.
Ye Tianling, however, didn’t find it strange. He could accept them not using his name directly, but rather a title combining the race and the term "Divine Child."
After all, in his previous battle with Kong Lindao, Ye Tianling had used the techniques of the Nirvana Nine Transformations and manifested the Immortal Phoenix Peacock’s Bloodline Power.
Besides, with his Talent and Ability, titles like Kunpeng Divine Son, Xuanwu Dragon Turtle Divine Son, Celestial Secret Divine Son, or Immortal Phoenix Divine Son were all genuinely respectful forms of address.
The Immortal Phoenix Peacock Lineage granting him the title of "Immortal Phoenix Divine Son" was nothing more than an attempt to get closer to him.
Ye Tianling could surmise as much from Kong Daoze’s attitude alone.
"Immortal Phoenix Divine Son, my clan sister Daoting may be a bit bossy and overbearing, but she’s not the type to commit every evil imaginable. Besides, we only came to the Human Race’s territory to find a way into the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave. Once we found it, we were planning to invite you, Immortal Phoenix Divine Son, to go with us. During this time, we haven’t caused any trouble for any Human Race Cultivators..."
Kong Daoxi seemed to have thought of something and quickly offered an explanation.
As she spoke, she watched Ye Tianling’s expression.
Seeing that his expression hadn’t soured, she breathed a small sigh of relief.
At this point, if Kong Daoting still didn’t realize she had picked a fight with the wrong person, she would truly be hopeless.
A chill ran through Kong Daoting’s heart, and she couldn’t help but feel shocked and uncertain. ’Just who is this wickedly charming and handsome young man? Why are my powerful clan brother and sister so respectful and fearful of him?’
"I see. And Brother Lindao? I’ve had some new insights recently and wanted to spar with him to test them out."
Ye Tianling asked.
Hearing this, Kong Daoxi shook her head with a bitter smile. "Sigh... Ever since Big Brother lost to you, he spends all his time running combat Visualization Simulations. Even now, he believes the gap between you two is still immense. So... he won’t be fighting you for the time being, Immortal Phoenix Divine Son."
As Kong Daoxi spoke, her beautiful eyes swirled with a hint of affection. She gazed at Ye Tianling, unwilling to look away.
This explanation left all the listening Cultivators completely dumbfounded.
"Who is this guy? He’s that strong?"
"Didn’t you hear? He’s the Immortal Phoenix Divine Son! The Peacock Divine Son is only named ’Peacock,’ but this guy gets to use ’Immortal Phoenix.’ That’s the difference right there!"
"Why does the Immortal Phoenix Divine Son have the bloodline aura of the Human Race?"
"You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? I’d f*cking love to know too!"
"This guy defeated the Peacock Divine Son before?"
"Shouldn’t he be famous then? Why haven’t we heard of him?"
"Who on earth is he? To be so strong and yet unknown? Could he be a newly emerged Young Venerable?"
"Maybe we’ll find out soon. Let’s listen closely."
...
The surroundings buzzed with discussion, but quickly fell silent again.
Kong Daoting also heard Kong Daoxi’s words and was so shocked she nearly coughed up blood. At the same time, she wanted to cry but had no tears. ’Damn it, you’re the Immortal Phoenix Divine Son! Why are you helping the Human Race bully a Disciple of our Immortal Phoenix Peacock Lineage?’
’Are you siding with an outsider against your own kind?’
"Brother Lindao thinks he’s no match for me? He’s too humble. By the way, how is your investigation of the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave coming along?"
Ye Tianling sighed with some emotion. It was precisely because Kong Lindao possessed a heart that was both untamable and humble that he was able to rise again so quickly after losing five drops of Origin Essence Blood.
Ye Tianling truly admired this about him. So much so that he no longer had any killing intent toward Kong Daoting.
At this moment, Kong Daoting was being incredibly obedient. Even though her face was still being stepped on by Ye Tianling, she didn’t even let out a single pained groan.
It seemed she didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.
"We can only wait for it to appear. Also, entering the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave from here is much better than from our Ten Thousand Demons Region. I expect many geniuses will start gathering here soon."
Kong Daoze thought for a moment before replying seriously.
"I see. No wonder I’ve been seeing more Alien Race Cultivators lately. They’re quite arrogant, though. Oh, right. Before, your clan brother, that... Kong Daoyuan, I killed him with a single punch. This Kong Daoting here wanted to demand justice, so I suppressed her. Now she’s called you two over to uphold justice."
Ye Tianling stepped on Kong Daoting’s face one more time, then retracted his foot.
That step from Ye Tianling was not light; it nearly crushed Kong Daoting’s face.
But not only did Kong Daoting feel no hatred, her eyes instead filled with tears of grievance.
Her heart was bleeding. ’Master, Divine Son, you are our clan’s Immortal Phoenix Divine Son, so why are you bullying a little girl like me like this?’
"Oh? Kong Daoyuan was killed by you, Divine Son? That’s wonderful news! That little brat was too arrogant and was bound to cause trouble sooner or later. It’s a good thing you were the one who killed him. If he had provoked a Divine Son from the Divine Hall of Destiny or any other Divine Hall, it would have been a real headache for us."
Kong Daoze was stunned for a moment, then a look of joy spread across his face as he spoke.
"Well, that certainly saves us some trouble. I warned him several times before, but he’d just agree to my face and do whatever he wanted behind my back, so I gave up. I was just waiting for him to cause trouble and suffer the consequences, to learn a lesson the hard way. This is even better. Now we don’t have to worry about him ever again."
Kong Daoxi was also taken aback for a moment, but then she actually let out a sigh of relief.
When their words spread, the crowd was once again dumbstruck.
This... this was their clan brother! Was the Demon Race really so heartless?
Or was it... that they were too afraid of this ’Immortal Phoenix Divine Son’ before them to dare show any hatred?
Everyone’s gazes turned strange.
Even Chu Shaocheng couldn’t help but grimace, the muscles on his handsome face twitching several times.
’That works too?’
’I thought there was going to be a huge fight, but it looks like that’s not happening now.’
Many Cultivators were left speechless. However, no fight seemed to be even more interesting than an actual fight.
So thought some of the Cultivators.
Kong Daoting’s heart was a turmoil of mixed emotions, and she felt like bursting into tears.
"You heard them. He was your clan brother. Aren’t you going to express any indignation?"
Ye Tianling smiled. He suddenly found the situation quite amusing as well.
