Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 655: He Zhongshu of the Moon Worshiping Dao Sect, Meeting the Mad King

Hearing Meng Tianshu’s threat, He Zhongshu immediately laughed. He cast a contemptuous glance at Cheng Yuhan and the others. "These people don’t seem particularly remarkable. Is it worth you, Meng Tianshu, threatening me? Others might fear you because you are an Immortal Seedling, but I don’t."

The people around watched on in interest.

An Immortal Seeding face-off.... He Zhongshu has the upper hand. The Moon Worshiping Dao Sect is far stronger than the Seven Profound Sect.

Nan Gong and the others decided not to intervene, letting them settle this between them. Given these two’s status, whatever they said would go in one ear and out the other, so it was better not to waste their breath.

Before Meng Tianshu could speak, Cheng Yuhan looked He Zhongshu up and down and suddenly sneered. "Oh, it’s He Zhongshu of the Moon Worshiping Dao Sect. I’ve heard of you. I didn’t expect you to have such a close relationship with the Great Expansion Dao Sect."

"Senior Brother Cheng, I’ve heard that recently various sects have been distancing themselves from the Great Expansion Dao Sect?"

Wang Hu laughed. "And now you’re all chummy with him?"

He Zhongshu and Lin Hai’s expressions changed slightly. The matters between the Void Immortal Sword Sect and the Great Expansion Dao Sect were no secret, and many were aware.

Cheng Yuhan’s gaze fell on Lin Hai, his tone indifferent. "Right. I am Cheng Yuhan, a disciple of the Extreme Sword Peak of the Void Immortal Sword Sect. I am here to challenge you today."

The crowd’s faces showed disbelief. The Void Immortal... Sword Sect?! These lunatics are sword cultivators from the Void Immortal Sword Sect!? Even these madmen enjoy fishing?!

Nan Gong took a deep breath, staring blankly at Cheng Yuhan. He found it hard to believe that someone who spoke so loudly and crudely could be a Void Immortal Sword Sect disciple. Those people were known for their strict manners, after all.

He suddenly recalled some past remarks he had made about Cheng Yuhan, breaking into a cold sweat.

He Zhongshu and Lin Hai were shocked, and a hint of panic flashed in their eyes. However, they quickly regained their composure.

So Meng Tianshu recognized them as sword cultivators from the Void Immortal Sword Sect. No wonder he’s stepping in to support them... He Zhongshu thought to himself, cursing inwardly.

However, He Zhongshu reassured himself that even if these people were sword cultivators, they were not particularly powerful. If it came to a fight, he was confident he could handle them.

"Hey, you fool, if you don’t respond, I’ll take it for a yes," Cheng Yuhan said calmly.

Lin Hai’s eyes drifted around, feeling a pang of regret. Had he known these people were from the Void Immortal Sword Sect, he wouldn’t have provoked them. But it was too late for regrets. He couldn’t afford to embarrass the Great Expansion Dao Sect, especially at such a critical time.

Resolving to stay composed, Lin Hai said, "You want to challenge me? I dislike fighting. I like to talk things out. You might as well ask Brother He."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The crowd looked on with a mix of expressions. Traditionally, being asked for pointers from Void Immortal Sword Sect disciples was just a formality, not a real challenge. The real fight was up to the person’s decision.

He remembered who this was!

"Uh, sorry for the interruption. Please continue with your fishing," He Zhongshu said calmly, making a polite gesture before turning to Lin Hai and admonishing, "Hurry up and honor your bet. Go on, pay up. I have a stomach ache and need to leave."

Everyone was stunned. How could the attitude of the Moon Worshiping Dao Sect’s Immortal Seedling change so drastically?

Lin Hai was astonished. "He Zhongshu, you..."

"Forget it. I’m not feeling well, my stomach hurts too much!" He Zhongshu said, clutching his stomach as he prepared to leave.

The cultivators who had come with He Zhongshu were also stunned. They didn’t know what to make of this.

Cheng Yuhan sneered repeatedly, "What, recognized Junior Brother Fang? If you’ve recognized him, then go and greet him properly and stop playing dumb."

He Zhongshu stopped in his tracks, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He suddenly turned to Meng Tianshu and shouted angrily, "Meng Tianshu, are you trying to make a fool of me? What offense did I commit against you?!"

At this moment, he finally understood why Meng Tianshu had intervened. Even though he hadn’t been present at the Immortal Dynasty Manor that day, he had watched the whole event through the Heaven Profound Mirror. That person was the Mad King, who had even slapped a Dao Union Realm cultivator!

Even when not in his crazed state, the Mad King could defeat an Immortal Seedling like Meng Tianshu with a single move. How could a mere Immortal Seedling from the Moon Worshiping Dao Sect, like He Zhongshu, provoke such a terrifying figure?

Meng Tianshu maintained a calm smile, unfazed by the curses. Words like that wouldn’t bother him in the slightest.

Lin Hai could no longer hold back and shouted, "He Zhongshu, what is going on?!"

He Zhongshu took a deep breath and ignored Lin Hai. Instead, he bowed deeply to the focused Fang Chen. "I am He Zhongshu of the Moon Worshiping Dao Sect. Greetings, Mad King."

The crowd's expressions changed drastically as they finally realized who Fang Chen was. It was his identity that had frightened He Zhongshu so much!

To make an Immortal Seedling react like this...

Lin Hai’s was shocked as he recalled the name. It sounded so familiar.

Wait a minute...

He suddenly felt his legs go weak as he remembered an existence that had once killed an Immortal Seedling from the Great Expansion Dao Sect....

Fang Chen continued to look at the calm surface of the lake. "Well, if you break his legs, I won’t make things difficult for you."
