Chapter 152 - Swearing Sovereignty
Chapter 152 - Swearing Sovereignty
Many of the factions on this continent were too complacent. They felt that their advance was already swift and that they could overturn the skies with a single thought.
While everyone also admired strength, some were petty and unable to accept that there were people who were better than them.
They were the heavenly blessed experts; they were the geniuses that others looked up to; they did not look up to others.
But Li Moyun was such a figure that they could only look up to. He was already at the apex of what cultivation in the continent could reach. Even though he was young, everyone had no way to look down on him.
But this brought jealousy and many greedy people who wished to abuse his reputation for their own benefit.
When Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun stepped into the tent, the manager raised his head to see who arrived. At first, he had thought it was the Elder from the Undying Sword Sect, however upon glancing at the two figures, he instantly recognized the black-cloaked person, and he also easily guessed Li Moyun’s identity due to the silver mask.
He felt shocked but managed to keep his expression emotionless as he glanced from one figure to the other, trying to guess the relationship between this alchemist and the Eternal Shadow Palace.
If this alchemist belonged to the Eternal Shadow Palace, there was no chance for them to sell the Marrow-Cleansing Pill at an auction with the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, but if he did not belong to the Eternal Shadow Palace, why would the Eternal Shadow Lord appear alongside this mysterious figure?
The manager wanted to go and greet them, but at that moment, the Elder and his group of experts from the Undying Sword Sect came into the tent.
The Elder glanced at Li Moyun and Bai Rouyun, but he quickly scoffed and moved forward.
"We are here to pick up the pill," he said with arrogance, and his nose was high up into the sky.
"This way, please." The manager glanced at Li Moyun and Bai Rouyun, who had found a few chairs and sat down, patiently waiting for the transaction to be complete.
The Elder felt very pleased seeing that the Manager prioritized them over the Eternal Shadow Lord, and his smile turned smug as he sneered and arrogantly strode forward.
"That man is the Eternal Shadow Lord."
"I wonder how attractive he is underneath his mask."
"Even the Eternal Shadow Lord has to wait for our sect to finish our business."
It was merely the Elder who stepped behind the separating blind to finish off the transaction; the youngsters all stayed in the front room, where Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun were also waiting.
They had forgotten all about Li Moyun’s overwhelming strength in their eagerness to praise themselves, and while they had lowered their voices, there was no way they could say something without Li Moyun hearing it.
Even Bai Rouyun could hear what they were saying, and she could not help but smile helplessly and shake her head. She had always been prejudiced towards the sect members, but now she realized it was not without reason. They truly were not too smart.
If the Sect Master or one of the Protectors of the Undying Sword Sect were present, then she would understand why they were so arrogant, but the only one who had gone out with them was an Elder. If Li Moyun became upset and decided to take out his revenge on them, then they would have no way to retaliate. They were not Violet Tiered, so killing them was as simple as killing chickens.
Li Moyun could sense that Bai Rouyun found these disciples stupid, and his own lips started curling up. He might be ruthless, but he was not so young that he would lose his temper just because that they spoke a few words.
The staff, however, were all drenched in sweat. They were all mortals, at most at the Innate Realm, Red Tier, but they could all hear the arrogant words that these disciples came with, and they could not help but glance at Li Moyun with fear in their eyes.
While most of the Undying Sword Sect were busy buzzing amongst themselves, some of the women could not help but throw amorous glances at Li Moyun, causing his lips to twitch, and his hand, which was holding Bai Rouyun’s hand, to tighten the grasp.
He was very happy that he had told Xiao Long to stay within the Primal Chaos Dimension during the auction so as not to attract attention, otherwise, he was sure that these women would have rushed to his side, trying their best to seduce him.
"You are quite popular," Bai Rouyun’s voice also sounded at this moment. The soft and gentle voice, which was refreshing as a clear stream, caused everyone within the tent to still in their movements.
Initially, many had wondered about the gender of this figure, but now there was no need to doubt it anymore. It was a woman, and her voice was so pleasant to the ear; however, while it was pleasant and made everyone relax, there was a hidden sharpness underneath.
Li Moyun instantly understood the dangers. He knew that Bai Rouyun refused to share her husband with others, but he could not help but cry tears in his heart. He had no interest in these sect disciples, and while the female disciples were quite interested in him, he had not paid them any attention; why would she be upset because of it?
"Even after hiding your face, the women are flocking to your side," Bai Rouyun continued, her voice being somewhat indignant, but only herself knew that she was not actually angry. She just wanted to swear sovereignty towards these women.
