Chapter 639: Sea Beasts’ Tide 7
"This..." Xu Lang muttered with a gloomy expression.
He, his fellow disciples, Bai Chunhua’s disciples, and several others originally wanted to escape.
Unfortunately, they never got an opportunity and were forced to follow their masters to the Fog Sea.
"Only five are human cultivators. The rest are puppets." Bai Chunhua said.
"Puppets?" Yang Jian took a second look and couldn’t help but be surprised.
"Can the Weapon Refining City make such human-like puppets?" She asked but Bai Chunhua didn’t answer.
Receiving no answer, Yang Jian gritted her teeth in anger.
’Why provoke such an enemy? Even if you think your life is too long and want to end it, why force your disciples to die with you?’
At this time, Yang Jian hated her weakness.
How could she be forced to take part in such a nonsense matter if she was stronger than her master?
A moment later, Yang Jian sighed and regained a calm.
’I can’t lose focus. Maybe there will be an escape opportunity in the future.’ She thought.
As Yang Jian was consoling herself, the three flying ships stopped and a voice echoed in the surroundings.
"Little nephew, my name is Duan Quan, the city lord of Tianqi city." Duan Quan said in a loud voice.
"What can I do for city lord Duan?" Ying Er asked.
At the same time, he observed the three ships while transmitting the image to the other Ying guards.
On the other four ships, Su Meihui, Lin Feng, Xue Hua, and Gu Dong were also observing the situation.
Su Meihui, Lin Feng, and Xue Hua were swordsmen and Gu Dong was a martial artist.
However, their presence was not because they could fight the origin tempering realm, core formation realm, and nascent soul realm cultivators.
Rather, they were there to direct the puppets in case of a fight.
"We want to speak to the two patriarchs of the Zhenyue family." Duan Quan stated in a matter-of-fact voice.
Hearing this, Ying Er tilted his head in amusement.
’Is that all you want?’ He thought and almost burst into laughter.
On normal days, young master Yu and young master Jiang hid on their island, avoiding work and not bothering about other people.
If the two couldn’t be bothered with their own people, where did Duan Quan get the confidence to demand an audience?
Thinking of this, Ying Er subconsciously chuckled before he spoke.
"I am afraid that’s not possible." He said.
"Not possible? I am the city lord of Tianqi city. How dare they not see me?" Duan Quan sneered and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Fortunately, Bai Chunhua stepped up before the situation could deteriorate.
"Are the two patriarchs’ in retreat?" She asked but Ying Er immediately shook his head.
"The two young masters are not in retreat. They are just..." He started but Gu Dong suddenly interrupted.
"The two seniors are detached from the world. They don’t accept visitors. I am sorry to disappoint the guest seniors." Gu Dong suddenly said; worried Ying Er would actually tell the truth.
"We are nascent soul realm cultivators. They will surely agree to meet with us." Ximen Li said but Ying Er shook his head.
"They won’t." He said.
At this time, Ximen Li and the others suddenly realised Ying Er showed no fear or respect when he addressed them.
With a gloomy expression, Bai Chunhua gritted her teeth and forcibly suppressed her anger.
"The little nephew hasn’t messaged his patriarchs to let them know. How can you make decisions on behalf of your patriarchs?" Bai Chunhua asked in a pleasant voice but her tone concealed a trace of threat.
After all, which patriarch would allow juniors to make decisions for them?
Unfortunately, Bai Chunhua was off the mark.
Unlike other patriarchs, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue couldn’t wait to ’delegate’ all their responsibilities.
The only thing stopping them was that their people were not powerful enough. Even then, the Ying guards made most of the decisions.
If not the Ying guards, it was the contract beasts.
Only after the problem exceeded this level did Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue get involved.
"Can my Zhenyue family help the seniors with something?" Ying Er went straight to the point.
Hearing this, Duan Quan couldn’t hold back his anger.
"This little nephew doesn’t seem to know his place." He angrily roared.
Even the other nascent soul realm cultivators didn’t look good.
However, Ying Er remained impassive.
"Junior brother, we came to help the Zhenyue family resist the sea beasts’ tide." Zhao Wen stepped up to diffuse the tension.
"Is that so?" Ying Er asked with a confused expression.
"As far as I know, the Tianqi territory has lost thirty villages and two towns. Most importantly, my Zhenyue family didn’t ask for help. How could you abandon your people and insist on coming here?"
When he heard this, Zhao Wen almost groaned in frustration.
What could he say to that?
"Little nephew, I will give you one chance to call your clan patriarchs." Duan Quan warned, his eyes narrowed into slits.
"I have heard of force selling but I have never heard of forcing others to accept help. I learn a new thing every day." Ying Er muttered and Su Meihui subconsciously laughed.
Seeing this, Gu Dong sighed in resignation.
’I hoped I could keep things calm but...’ The old man shook his head and adjusted his mindset.
’It seems a fight is inevitable.’
"How dare a qi transformation realm weakling make fun of a nascent soul realm cultivator?" Duan Quan roared.
"If I don’t make your patriarchs kneel and ask for forgiveness, I will write my name backwards."
"Absurd." Gu Dong roared.
At the same time, Lin Feng, Su Meihui, Xue Hua, and Ying Er activated their puppets.
"That’s assuming you will have a life to fulfil your promise." Ying Er snorted and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
However, before he could take action, a piercing scream echoed in the surroundings, surprising everyone.
