Free Web NovelChapter 836: Chapter 90: The Kill (Extra for Alliance Hierarch Raise_lovell)
Jiang Wang was backed by a boat full of ordinary people willing to testify for him, and before him stood three Transcendent Cultivators from the Angry Whale Gang.
Below his feet lay a dragon-bone boat, and Youxia Island was nearby.
This was the main base of the Angry Whale Gang.
He should have seemed fearful, but he was calm.
He seemed like he should retreat, but he was resolute.
Jiang Wang! In that moment, Li Daorong suddenly recalled the relevance of this name, remembering who Jiang Wang was.
The number one being in Ascending Dragon Realm of the whole world, who had defeated the Closed-door Disciple of the War God, Wang Yi Wu, in the same realm, and even more, had surpassed a minor realm to defeat the Qi Tianjiao, Lei Zhanqian.
A reputation that had long reached the Near Sea Archipelago.
And he had previously overlooked it!
Either the damage from the sea beast had him deeply worried, or being around Youxia Island made him too confident.
He hadn’t thought about how such a young Cultivator could kill an octopus sea beast.
But now, put into focus, he had no choice but to face it.
So, should he indiscriminately accuse this man of killing the Angry Whale Gang’s sea beast and apprehend him in order to clear his own responsibilities and perhaps negotiate something from Qi Country?
The idea of killing a Qi Tianjiao like Jiang Wang was unthinkable. Since Jiang Wang had announced his name, his trail along the way was as clear to those interested as a candle in the dark night. His disappearance could not possibly be concealed wherever it occurred.
And another issue was...even if the three of them teamed up, one from Inner Mansion and two from Ascending Dragon, could they match Jiang Wang?
Li Daorong would be deluded to think confidently in such a way!
Yet to retreat in front of these ordinary people, in front of his own subordinates, would be utterly embarrassing... After all, he was a leader in the Angry Whale Gang, one of the highest figures on Youxia Island. Could he swallow the words he’d spoken?
Caught in a dilemma, three more Transcendent Cultivators flew in from afar.
Also comprising one from Inner Mansion Realm and two from Ascending Dragon Realm. However, the leader was a middle-aged woman, followed by two young male Cultivators.
They all wore purple robes, embroidered with the circular insignia of the Five Immortal Sect.
From this fact alone, one could discern the distinctions in the Near Sea Archipelago. In Qi Country, hardly anyone would dare to wear purple casually.
Jiang Wang and Zhongxuan Sheng each had a piece of purple clothing bestowed by Emperor Qi, which was a testament to their merits and quite rare.
"Yo! Isn’t that Chief Li? Who are you clashing with here?" the leading middle-aged woman called out from afar, her tone light and natural.
She couldn’t help but be relaxed.
For many years on Youxia Island, it had been a competition between the Five Immortal Sect and the Angry Whale Gang, with smaller sects and factions long driven away or absorbed.
And with the Angry Whale Gang’s backer dead earlier this year, and now their tamed sea beast as well, that octopus sea beast, if used correctly, could exceed the combat power of a typical Inner Mansion Cultivator and was an invaluable resource.
With such a state, what could the Angry Whale Gang use to compete with the Five Immortal Sect?
"Fan Qingqing!"
Before the situation had even resolved, the Five Immortal Sect had come to spectate. Li Daorong felt a pain in his jaws, coldly drawing his breath, "This has nothing to do with you, mind your own business!"
The outwardly unimpressive Fan Qingqing chuckled behind her hand, "The affairs surrounding Youxia Island are all within our reach at the Five Immortal Sect."
She glared at Li Daorong, suddenly showing a hint of ferocity, "What, your Angry Whale Gang disagrees?"
When Hai Zongming had just died, the Five Immortal Sect hadn’t made any moves yet. They seemed to be observing the situation, confirming the truth.
But since the beginning of this year, they had been increasingly relentless.
The Angry Whale Gang, temporarily unable to find a new backer, could only keep retreating in the face of the aggressive Five Immortal Sect.
Today Li Daorong also couldn’t be an exception.
He could only retort weakly, "See how arrogant you can be!"
Fan Qingqing glanced at him disdainfully and then smiled at Jiang Wang, "Where does this young brother come from? Don’t be so fiery, put away your sword. Tell me, what happened? The cultivators of our Five Immortal Sect always reason; we’re not like some deceivers. You can rest assured!"
Jiang Wang smiled, and indeed moved his hand away from the sword hilt, "I come from Linzi, here to handle a case, disturbing this precious place. Today’s matter is quite simple. I merely killed a rampaging sea beast, saving hundreds of people on a boat, and this Mr. Li jumped out, claiming I killed their Huzong sea beast and wanted to make me pay!"
Since the master of Zhu Bijing stood behind the Five Immortal Sect, he intended to make more contact with the people of the sect, thus his attitude was much more amicable.
Fan Qingqing feigned surprise, "Really? Isn’t that reversing black and white, Master Li? How could the Angry Whale Gang do such a thing, how could they have such people?"
Jiang Wang smiled somewhat helplessly, indicating that he couldn’t understand either.
Although the two had just met, their cooperation was tacit, making Li Daorong’s face slap loudly with embarrassment.
Li Daorong was already unable to handle Jiang Wang, and now with Fan Qingqing added in, the matter was truly unresolvable. Li Daorong didn’t want to continue enduring humiliation here, so he flicked his sleeves, "I can’t be bothered to argue with you. There’s plenty of time in the future, justice will reveal itself!"
If he had just left like that, it would have been fine.
But out of frustration, before he left, he suddenly turned his head and glared at the old Zhao who first stood out to testify, "Being a sea-dweller, you betray your own people. Good, the Angry Whale Gang will remember you. Take good care of yourself!"
After saying that, he prepared to leave.
This was just another case of misdirected anger.
However, Jiang Wang spoke in a clearer and louder voice, "I will remember you too! I remember your face, and I remember you are the master of the Angry Whale Gang. Your surname is Li. This Uncle Zhao is my friend; you better take good care of him. If something happens to him later, whether or not it’s related to you..."
Jiang Wang took a step forward, his sword aura soaring to the sky, "I will kill you!"
What does God’s Inner Mansion mean?
Able to battle anyone from the Outer Building. Jiang Wang’s strength was at least on the same level as the master of the Angry Whale Gang, how could he be compared to a regular Neifu Cultivator on this small island?
Overwhelmed by this sudden burst of violent murderous intent, Li Daorong couldn’t help but take a big step back! freewebnovel.cσ๓
He nearly didn’t manage to keep his balance in midair and fell into the sea.
Immediately abandoning any concern for face or prestige, he flew away without a word.
The male cultivator who had scolded Jiang Wang earlier had already tucked his tail and kept silent. Seeing Li Daorong leaving, he hurriedly followed.
But the female cultivator kept looking back at Jiang Wang several times.
Watching Jiang Wang drive Li Daorong away with just his words, Fan Qingqing’s smile was tinged with admiration, "Guests from afar deserve hospitality. Since this young brother has trouble to come to Youxia Island, why not visit our Five Immortal Sect?"
She arrived late and did not know Jiang Wang’s true identity. But, judging from Li Daorong’s demeanor, it was not hard to deduce that Jiang Wang must be some significant figure from Linzi.
Especially since he had such a stiff conflict with the Angry Whale Gang.
As an elder of the Five Immortal Sect, it would be a dereliction of duty if she didn’t know how to properly forge ties.
Jiang Wang responded with a free and easy smile, "Then Jiang will impose himself on your hospitality." freёwebnoѵel.com
He indeed wanted to understand more about the Five Immortal Sect. Including that "immortal" character, including the forces behind it.
