When the observers on the platform saw these martial artists flying down, the entire audience gasped in astonishment.
“Zhang Bashan!”
“Xiahou Yong!”
“Peng Le!”
“Pei Tianlu!”
One by one, martial artists named for a decade in Xiling, and even the strong contenders from the last Xiling Martial Arts Competition, incredibly made their way down after listening to the contents of this challenge letter, preparing to fight.
The youngest among them was over forty years old and has been nurturing in the Mortal Realm for more than fifteen years. Now they all surged onto the stage, confidently announcing their intentions.
“The young master of the Xu Clan is too presumptuous, daring to belittle our Xiling. Although I, Zhang Bashan, am reluctant to take advantage of the young, I cannot bear to see more of our martial artists fall at his hands. I, Zhang, accept this challenge!” A big-bearded Zhang Bashan bravely snatched a challenge letter, hastily signing his name.
The rest of the martial artists who jumped down from the stage followed suit, shouting the slogan of justice, grabbing a challenge letter and signing their own names and families.
Originally, this stage was just a provocation from the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou, from which they saw no benefits. But now, after this challenge letter, they have seen the potential for great fame and fortune.
This caused those originally content to watch other people to probe Xu Lao’s victory in the Xu Clan to become restless – they absolutely could not allow this opportunity to be stolen by others.
For these senior martial artists, the martial arts displayed by Xu Lao was far from amazing. They did not believe that their own hard work over ten years would be lost to a lad in his twenties!
Yuan stood watching the sudden enthusiasm of the crowd, only let out a cold chuckle, remaining silent.
In the Red Cloud Mountain
«Hmm ” Tang Luo’s hand holding the wine glass was shaking, the vision of
Mi Bai in front of him shimmered, and he shook his own head sharply.
Could this sweet and mild wine really pack such a punch? Tang Luo smiled happily with a dizzy head: “This wine is good, simply delightful!” The one who drank the most with Tang Luo was Mi Bai, his face also flushed as he said, “Good wine, good wine!”
Looking at the two men’s drunken state of affairs, Xu Lao took in what was left of the half jar of rice wine and sighed.
Such a light wine, Mi Bai drank five cups, Tang Luo only six cups, and yet they’re on the verge of drunkenness. He couldn’t help but frown, watching them.
Two martial artists with such poor alcohol tolerance, it was quite eye-opening.
Not to mention the two martial artists who didn’t have much to talk about, at this moment seemed to have become the best of friends, leaving him out in the cold.
“Brother Tang, it’s my fault for not being fully prepared, 1 did not know how difficult the mountain road would be, spoiling the mood. Brother, I’ll penalize myself with a drink!” Mi Bai, his face red, said to Tang Luo, then poured himself another glass of wine, spilling it on the stone table.
Tang Luo waved his hands repeatedly: “What’s there to spoil the mood? I’m happy! I’m… very happy. Here, let me pour it; you see the mess when you do it, the wine spills everywhere.”
Laughing, Tang Luo snatched the wine jug from Mi Bai’s hands. He attempted to pour the wine into Mi Bai’s glass but ended up spilling even more on the stone table.
Xu Lao could no longer bear to watch, he took the wine jug from them and complained: “You two drunkards, I’ll pour it for you!”
Two drunkards appearing early in the morning, how were they supposed to make it down the mountain later? Young Master Xu was very annoyed. He had no experience in dealing with drunkards in his life before.
Although Tang Luo had been drinking a lot, his mind was still clear. Seeing someone was pouring the wine, Tang Luo happily patted Xu Lao’s shoulder and said, “Good, you pour it, you pour it!”
Then he told Mi Bai, “Brother Mi, listen to me, hie— there’s nothing to see in Red Cloud Mountain except for a piercing Red Cloud Peak that looks like a skyscraper. The rest… is not worth mentioning!”
Upon hearing this, Mi Bai’s eyes were filled with longing and blur, “Such a magnificent mountain exists, yet we’ve missed out on seeing it up close, what a pity! We must absolutely visit next time.”
■■Hie ” Tang Luo stood up abruptly, slamming the table, “There’s no need for
next time, I’ll take you flying up to see the grandeur of the Red Cloud Peak right now!”
“No, no!” Mi Bai repeatedly waved his hands, “The children are unattended, we’ll see it next time, next time.”
Although Mi Bai was tipsy, he still regarded the children as the most important. He couldn’t just leave them abruptly.
However, a drunken Tang Luo was extraordinarily passionate and persistent. He pointed at Xu Lao, “That’s not a problem, isn’t he here? Let him watch the children, what’s the big deal in me taking you to see Red Cloud Peak?” Before Xu Lao could respond, Tang Luo pulled Mi Bai’s wrist and strode out of the pavilion, shaking and wavering as he lifted off into the air.
Xu Lao looked stunned at all this. He hurriedly put down the wine jug, followed them out, raised his head, and saw Tang Luo holding Mi Bai’s arm, flying unsteadily at fluctuating heights.
“Wow! They’re flying, they’re flying!” The children saw Tang Luo and Mi Bai flying up, and they were immediately thrilled.
In the air, Tang Luo heard the children’s cheers and the playful aspect of his nature surged. He performed several large stunts in the air, inciting even louder cheers from the children.
Xu Lao covered his face. Drunken Tang Luo and the cousin in his impression were two completely different people.
Although he knew that some people undergo drastic changes after drinking alcohol, this was the first time in his life he had seen someone with such an extraordinarily poor tolerance for alcohol transform so dramatically.
“I’ve truly seen it all now!” Xu Lao looked up at the two who were performing all kinds of flying stunts in the air, disbelieving. He hurriedly waved to Du Ziteng in the distance, “Hey you, come over!”
After his conversation with Tang Luo, Du Ziteng had been standing at the edge of the bamboo forest as if he had lost his soul, his face full of fear. Suddenly seeing Xu Lao waving at him and remembering Tang Luo’s disclosed identity, he clenched his teeth and approached.
Xu Lao’s eyes were glued to the horizon, casually instructing, “You watch these kids here, understand?”
He couldn’t just leave a drunken man unattended, especially one flying using martial arts. A slight mistake could send them crashing down to the ground or into a mountainside. He had to go take care of them, but he was also worried about leaving the children alone. They needed supervision, which brought the thought of Du Ziteng.
However, Du Ziteng was currently completely disoriented. Although he had approached, his soul seemed to be elsewhere, and he did not hear Xu Lao’s words.
Just then, Yang Fan quickly walked up to Xu Lao and urgently said, Big Brother Xu! I’ll keep watch here – you quickly go find Brother Mi and Brother
Tang.”
In a crucial moment, it seemed a child could be relied upon more than the guide.
“Good boy!” Xu Lao answered, nodding his head. He glanced again at the bewildered Du Ziteng standing beside him, shook his head, and summoned a Spiritual Sword beneath his feet, soaring into the sky!
in just a short while, Tang Luo and Mi Bai’s figures disappeared into the horizon. Fortunately, Xu Lao had keen sixth senses, so he could still hear the distant sounds of flight.
“They’re flying so fast?” Xu Lao hurried, anxious. If Tang Luo, who had a tough Mortal Realm body, fell from the sky, there wouldn’t be a big problem, but Mi Bai was just a Mortal Realm martial artist. If he fell from the mountain and hurt his hand, the damage would be too great.
Following the sound of their flight, Xu Lao flew higher and higher, offering a broader view.
In the distance, a red crystal that pierced through the sky extended to the horizon, piercing into the clouds – that must be the Red Cloud Peak spoken of by Tang Luo.
His eyes focused, his speed once again surged, like a white line shooting toward the crystal peak..
