Chapter 1380: Who’s Territory!
“This isn’t somewhere you can come. Please get out as soon as possible.” Chu Liuyue looked at Jiang Zhiyuan and spoke calmly without allowing for rejection.
Jiang Zhiyuan knitted her brows, and she naturally disagreed. “I have to go out just because you say so? This isn’t your territory; you have no right to command me!”
Chu Liuyue’s lips moved. Not to mention others, this place is really my Shangguan family’s… However, I’m too lazy to argue with Jiang Zhiyuan about this.
“I’ll count to three. If you still don’t head out, I’m going to ‘help’ you,” Chu Liuyue said nonchalantly, but her brows and expression became colder.
Jiang Zhiyuan felt her heart turn cold from the other party’s gaze, but the next moment, she was infuriated. I’m a demiG.o.d! I’m only stronger and not weaker than Chu Yue, yet I have to be ordered around by him?! How does this make sense? Even if I’m not as good as Chu Yue in some aspects, I’m not one to be trifled with!
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiyuan felt much more confident. She laughed, but there wasn’t much smiling intent in her eyes. “Chu Yue, I know you’ve become more capable, but you’re not invincible. If you can come to this place, why can’t others come over? Could it be… that you’re afraid that I’ll steal any treasures?”
When she spoke, she kept staring at the young man in front of her. She wanted to see any hint of secrets on his face, but there were none.
His good-looking and clean face had a faint smile, but n.o.body could guess his thoughts. This was especially so when it came to his deep and bright eyes that perfectly covered all his emotions—one had no way of guessing his thoughts.
At that moment, Jiang Zhiyuan felt a little discouraged. Even if there are treasures here, wouldn’t Chu Yue have already taken them?
Chu Liuyue just quietly watched her as her lips curled up slightly, and she snorted in her heart. It seems like the experience in Flood-Desert Northern Region during this period has caused Jiang Zhiyuan to be overly exhausted, causing all her emotions to be clearly displayed on her face. It’s as if she is afraid that others can’t tell. Even if she wants a treasure, this is not the way.
“One.” Chu Liuyue raised one finger.
Jiang Zhiyuan’s heart skipped a beat, and she felt hatred. This Chu Yue really thinks he’s something!
She turned around and continued searching in the empty s.p.a.ce, clearly not planning to care about Chu Liuyue.
Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows. “Two.”
Jiang Zhiyuan ignored her, and many thoughts flashed across her mind. There are only two possibilities that allow for a cultivator to continuously break through in a mere two days. Either he suddenly obtained an inheritance that allowed his cultivation speed to be increased significantly, or the time flow of this place was different from the outside world, allowing him to achieve what other people would take months or even years to achieve in such a short period of time. From the strange feeling in the surroundings, it seemed like the second one…
“Three.” Chu Liuyue’s red lips curled up, and she coldly spat this word out.
Seeing Jiang Zhiyuan who was freely walking inside and not taking her words into consideration at all, Chu Liuyue smiled slightly. Since she is so stubborn, then… There is no need to be soft-hearted.
…
Thump!
Elder Hua Feng and the others just rushed over. Before they could speak, they saw a figure flying out from the door and harshly falling onto the ground!
Shoo!
Jiang Zhiyuan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood as her face flushed white!
s.h.i.+ Rui’er, who was standing in front, took a step back in contempt. Even though she was also covered in dust and bloodstains now, looking very disheveled, being stained with Jiang Zhiyuan’s blood would cause her heart to weaken.
n.o.body went forward to help Jiang Zhiyuan.
Elder Hua Feng took a look inside. “Chu Yue?”
Chu Liuyue gradually walked over and clapped her hands. “Senior Sister Jiang, I had already warned you earlier, but you refused to listen. Therefore, don’t blame me for this.”
The crowd exchanged glances. This Chu Yue… is really bold. He didn’t even avoid such a matter. However, Jiang Zhiyuan is clearly abandoned by Ling Xiao Academy, so others naturally won’t be polite to her.
Hearing this, Jiang Zhiyuan was so angry that her organs and muscles tightened, and she almost couldn’t catch her breath. “Chu Yue, don’t be such a bully! This place doesn’t even belong to you. You don’t have the right to treat me like this!”
Chu Liuyue glanced at her lazily. “Senior Sister Jiang, do you still not understand the logic of ‘the strong are respected?’”
“You—”
“If you want to continue staying here, it’s very simple. You can come in if you want… as long as you can stay here.” Then, Chu Liuyue raised her brows slightly and said to Elder Hua Feng and the rest, “Elder, I still have some matters to settle, so I’ll go in first. Could I trouble you… and the others to wait outside for a moment?”
Then, without waiting for Elder Hua Feng’s reply, she turned around. After taking one step, she stopped, turned around slightly, and glanced at Jiang Zhiyuan very coldly. “Senior Sister Jiang, I’ll welcome you anytime.”
The moment she said it, her figure rapidly disappeared behind the door.
A silver barrier rapidly appeared, sealing the door shut and excluding all the events from the outside world—although everyone couldn’t even see anything from the outside in the first place.
Jiang Zhiyuan was humiliated in public, and she flew into a rage. Yet, she was filled with injuries and could only stand up forcefully, so how could she avenge herself?
Her cultivation level was indeed higher than that of Chu Yue. Logically speaking, there should be no issues beating him. But after experiencing all those incidents before, she was left with not much strength.
On the other hand, Chu Yue was complete and uninjured. Besides, he had just broken through, and it was when his combat skills were at their peak.
Battling under such circ.u.mstances, was it not obvious who would win?!
“This…” The other people that slowly rushed over were all taken aback when they saw this scene.
Jin Di couldn’t help but knit his brows, and he asked with a deep voice, “Hua Feng, what does Chu Yue mean? Does he plan on taking this entire place himself and not letting us enter?”
Due to the fake Heavenly Square Cauldron that suddenly appeared, everyone’s attention was attracted away, and n.o.body cared about this place. However, they just recalled that this was the place where the true treasures lay!
Chu Yue’s att.i.tude was very suspicious, and one couldn’t help but doubt him.
Elder Hua Feng sneered. “Previously, you guys didn’t come for such a long time. Now that Chu Yue is back, you recalled it too?”
Jin Di ignored his mockery and walked right in. “Since the door is open, I have to go in and take a look!”
But the moment he took a few steps out, a cold voice came from inside. “From now on, n.o.body is allowed to step into this place. If anyone wants to try… bring it on!”
Arrogant!
Preposterous!
As they were shocked, everyone widened their eyes and exchanged glances.
Jin Di couldn’t help but laugh. “Wow! Chu Yue, you think too highly of yourself! I want to see just how long you can guard this place!”
Then, he moved his arm, and a golden spear appeared in his hands!
Whoos.h.!.+
The spear pierced through the air!
