“What do you mean?” Elder Luo frowned.
“Today, you did some serious damage to Xingxiu Faction’s leader, Ding Xiadong with just one strike! That alone is enough of a reason for Ding Xiadong not to mess with me again!” Chen Xiaobei said excitedly.
“You’re planning on using my name to scare your enemies?” Elder Luo asked worriedly.
Chen Xiaobei understood Elder Luo’s concern and vowed, “Don’t worry, Elder Luo. I will never reveal your identity. I know what I should or should not do!”
“Good! I know what you are capable of. I know I do not need to worry because you gave me your word.” Elder Luo nodded. “Before this situation with Puti has settled, I still need to play the role of the good doctor.”
“If you have any news about Puti, I hope you can inform me immediately!”
“Of course!” Elder Luo agreed.
The two of them parted ways after.
Chen Xiaobei made a phone call and asked for Xingxiu Faction’s address, and then rode the Somersault Cloud there.
The Somersault Cloud was a little slower than the earlier phase of Celestial Cultivation, so it could never match up to Ding Xiadong’s speed.
Ding Xiadong reached Xingxiu Faction first.
All 5,000 of the Xingxiu Faction villagers were sent to the arena where they stood in formation to salute him.
Ding Xiadong was vain and had a fondness for grandiose, and had already sent word way beforehand about his return.
Thus the reason his disciples had assembled at the arena – to celebrate Ding Xiadong’s success.
“He’s here! Our faction leader is here! Everyone, go ahead and chant the slogan! Loud and clear!”
The core elders that stood in the front signaled to the disciples, and all 5,000 men shouted with enthusiasm, “Xingxiu Deity! He is invincible! No one can defeat him!”
“Long live Xingxiu Deity!”
They had practiced this slogan in favor of Ding Xiadong.
Ding Xiadong loved this sort of attention; he enjoyed the feeling of being looked up to and idolized by other people.
But, today, there was not a single trace of delight on Ding Xiadong’s face.
The second elder was the first to approach him. “Faction Leader, why are you alone? Where is the grand elder?”
The third elder was more observant. “Faction leader! What happened to you? Why do you look so pale? Why is there blood on you? Are you hurt?”
As how a tossed stone creates a thousand ripples; the core elders’ questions shook all 5,000 disciples.
“Our faction leader is hurt? My goodness! How could someone actually hurt him? That’s unbelievable!”
“The faction leader went to save the grand elder but returned alone? Don’t tell me Chen Xiaobei was the one who hurt our faction leader.”
“Oh my god! How strong is Chen Xiaobei? He hurt the faction leader?”
“Nonsense! I heard that Chen Xiaobei is only in his twenties. How could he have hurt our faction leader? That’s impossible!”
“Faction leader! What happened?”
“Faction Leader! Were you really injured by Chen Xiaobei?”
“Faction leader! Where is grand elder? Didn’t you save him?”
The 5,000 people were in a frenzy all at once; their eyes on Ding Xiadong, waiting for an answer.
“I…” Ding Xiadong felt like he was going to throw up. If he had known, he would not have asked his disciples to welcome him.
If he had saved the grand elder, Ding Xiadong would receive the praise and adoration of his disciples.
But not only did he not save the grand elder, he was severely injured as well. If he told his disciples the truth, where could he hide his face?
This was completely unacceptable for someone as vain as he was!
“Ahem.” Ding Xiadong cleared his throat, and declared, “I did not see Chen Xiaobei! There was something wrong with my Qi Flow while I was on the way to meet Chen Xiaobei! That’s why I’m suffering from minor internal injuries!” As for the grand elder, once I’ve fully recovered from this injury, I will go and save him! There’s no need to worry!”
When they heard this, the disciples got into an even more heated discussion.
“So, our faction leader was not hurt in a fight! I told you, our faction leader is a demi-god! How could Chen Xiaobei possibly hurt him?”
“I don’t think you should take his word for it! I heard that Chen Xiaobei is a beast. No one can really tell how strong he is, and I heard that he has all kinds of strange treasures. Who knows, our faction leader might not be able to save grand elder!”
“Bullshit! Xingxiu Deity is almighty! How dare you say that our faction leader is incapable of beating a green-horned brat?!”
“Our faction leader may be strong, but there will always be someone stronger! This Chen Xiaobei is an anomaly. He is not someone we can fathom with logic!”
“What do you mean someone better?! You too think that our faction leader would not be able to fight against Chen Xiaobei? How absurd!”
Immediately, a commotion broke out. Some disciples were staunch believers of Ding Xiadong’s strength, while the others were worried that Chen Xiaobei was stronger.
“Everyone, shut up!” Ding Xiadong was the faction leader after all. He had to keep his people in order. “Chen Xiaobei is just an overindulged suckling! How dare you think I would be afraid of him? How absolutely stupid! If it weren’t for the sudden internal injury, Chen Xiaobei would already be dead now! Once I’ve recovered, I will find Chen Xiaobei and tear him apart! I will have him ki…”
Ding Xiadong’s spirited proclamations was cut off when someone jumped down from a cloud! It was Chen Xiaobei!
“Faction Leader Ding. You were saying?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“Ah? I… I didn’t say anything…” Ding Xiadong swallowed hard.
“Heh, aren’t you the awesome Xingxiu Faction Leader? The demigod level elite! Who knew that there would come a day when you’d be too afraid to speak? Did you think I was deaf? Or maybe the 5,000 people over here are deaf in both ears?”
“If there’s something Mr. Chen would like to discuss, why don’t we go to the great hall and talk?”
Ding Xiadong lowered his voice.
“I have nothing to discuss with you! Didn’t you want to kill me? Come on then?” Chen Xiaobei’s tone was dripping with scorn. “If you are too scared to do it, I will look down on you for the rest of my life!”
“I…” Ding Xiadong started perspiring in anxiety.
He really wanted to pounce on Chen Xiaobei and rip him apart, but he did not have the guts to do it!
If he so much so as touch Chen Xiaobei, the mysterious elite, Chen Xiaobei’s guardian, would massacre the entire Ding family!
Smack!
While Ding Xiadong was hesitating, a sudden slap landed on his cheek!
All of a sudden, an awkward silence fell over the crowd of 5,000 people.
