Chapter 1124: Tyrannical Song, don’t run tonight!

Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu

The handsome blond man seemed to have an ‘aura of gentleness’ around him. With a few words, he was able to get the three muscular monks of the Warring Buddha Sect to lower their vigilance.

It was as if there was some kind of power that affected them and made them feel that this blond man was a ‘close and friendly fellow daoist’.

Second Senior Brother Hong Hai said, “We are preparing to go to Jiangnan University Town. It’s just that we don’t have any money and can’t afford a taxi.”

“Eh? Fellow Daoists, do you not have a phone? Nowadays, you only need to install an app on your phone, and then you can pay for a taxi online, which is especially convenient.”

Big Senior Brother Hong Fa said, “I don’t have any money on my phone, either.”

Second Senior Brother Hong Hai said, “Same for me.”

Junior Brother Hong Tong said, “I deliberately transferred all my money yesterday, so I don’t have even a dime.”

The handsome blond man: “...”

Senior Brother Hong Fa said, “Is Fellow Daoist heading in the same direction?”

The handsome blond man smiled, and said, “Yeah, in fact, the location I’m heading to is also Jiangnan University Town. Actually... most of the passengers who had gotten off at Heixiang Station are heading there.”

Junior Brother Hong Tong said, “Is Fellow Daoist going to take a taxi? Can you bring us for a ride?”

The handsome blond man: “...”

Second Senior Brother Hong Hai asked, “Is it not fine?”

“It’s not that it isn’t fine, but we’re already quite close to Jiangnan University Town.” The handsome blond man smiled, and said, “Walking there shouldn’t take too long; if you three aren’t familiar with the way, you can come with me.”

And so, under the influence of that weird ‘gentle aura’, the three disciples of the Warring Buddha Sect followed behind the handsome blond man and headed to Jiangnan University Town.

Fortunately, the handsome blond man had no ill intentions; otherwise, these three guys would have been sold to traffickers without them even knowing it.

❄️❄️❄️

On the way, the man began to talk about ‘the path of defense’ with the three disciples of the Warring Buddha Sect.

He talked about it with simple words, going from general to specific matters.

The three disciples of the Warring Buddha Sect originally scoffed at the handsome man’s claim that he specialized in defense—with this guy’s slender body that made him look as if he were a girl, how could he possibly be proficient in defensive techniques?! Tsk~

However, after he began to talk, they realized that the other party was awesome. He had grasped all kinds of defensive techniques and maneuvers so well that he could easily talk about them and explain them.

In just a few minutes, they were able to gain a deeper understanding of ‘defense’, and many things that they could not have even imagined in the past were now clear to them.

As they walked, the four entered an empty alley.

Because there weren’t many people where they passed, the four people were able to communicate freely and without restriction.

“Fellow Daoist’s understanding of defense is really exquisite, Hong Fa truly admires you.” Hong Fa politely clasped his hands. After a few minutes of talking, the other party’s speech was so effective that it could almost be said to be a miracle in the art of teaching.

Second Senior Brother Hong Hai’s eyes lit up as he said, “Fellow Daoist, what defensive cultivation techniques do you practice?”

The handsome blond man suddenly paused—he seemed to have said too much! When he saw three good seedlings who specialized in ‘defense’, he couldn’t help but say a few words in hopes of making the path of defense flourish. He didn’t expect to talk so much...

This wasn’t good, this wasn’t in line with his plan of being low-key. It wasn’t the time for him to be so high-profile!

In order to stay low, he had completely changed his build and appearance before he went out this time, changing his appearance to a gentler style. Other than that, he also suppressed his realm and aura, using hundreds of methods to hide his identity; he even used a secret treasure to hide his [Sage Name].

He had put so much hard work into this; he could not let himself fail!

So, the handsome blond man smiled slightly, and said, “Actually, I only know some theories. Anyway, I practice the ❮Taurus Technique❯, but my level can only be considered very average as I’ve only reached the intermediate level in it.”

Junior Brother Hong Tong curiously said, “❮Taurus Technique❯? I haven’t heard of it. How powerful is the intermediate level? Would you be able to stop a blade from cutting your arm?”

The handsome blond man, who continued to smile, said, “The ❮Taurus Technique❯ can be considered to be a decent defensive technique, but I wasn’t able to learn it perfectly. Generally speaking, if a cultivator of the same realm cuts at my arm using only brute force and a blade, there would only be a red mark left behind.”

Although he wanted to keep a low profile, he didn’t want these three guys to look down on him. It could already be considered a superior defensive technique for it to make a cultivator at the same realm only be able to leave a red mark on one’s arm when at the intermediate realm.

As soon as the handsome blond man finished speaking, Junior Brother Hong Tong laughed, and said, “Your ❮Taurus Technique❯ isn’t that good. I’ve also only cultivated my ❮Jadeite Divine Body❯ to the intermediate realm, but its effect is better than that of your ❮Taurus Technique❯.”

As he spoke, Junior Brother Hong Tong took out a 30 cm long serrated knife from his trousers—only heaven knew how this guy was able to get on the train car with a weapon...

Then, he grabbed the serrated knife and slashed at his arm. A sound akin to metal clashing with iron came out, and sparks could even be seen flying out from Junior Brother Hong Ton’s arm, but in the end, the serrated knife failed to hurt him.

Junior Brother Hong Tong laughed, and proudly said, “Fellow Daoist, do you find my ❮Jadeite Divine Body❯ powerful? If a fellow daoist of the same realm were to stab me with a knife, let alone red marks, they wouldn’t even be able to hurt my hair. Even if they were to make an effort to cut through my body, they wouldn’t be able to hurt me at all. Isn’t the ❮Jadeite Divine Body❯ very domineering?”

The corners of the handsome blond man’s mouth twitched.

“Idiot, don’t be rude to this fellow daoist!” Big Senior Brother Hong Fa slapped the back of the head of the junior brother—even if the blonde daoist only knew some theories, he was nevertheless able to give some guidance to the three of them. Their junior brother actually dared to be so rude to the other party... How ungrateful!

Hong Tong screamed as he held his head and squatted down—though the slap of his older senior brother wasn’t painful, he had to at least pretend it was very much so. Otherwise, his senior brother would really beat him up.

“Fellow Daoist, apologies, my Junior Brother was muddle-headed and offended you, forgive us. Please believe me, he had no ill intent,” Hong Fa told the handsome blond man.

The handsome blond man smiled slightly, and said, “It doesn’t matter, your junior brother is still young, and such mindset is in line with the defensive path anyway.”

Hmm... with him being so simple-minded, he indeed was well suited to be a meat shield.

The group continued to talk as they walked.

The handsome blond man smiled slightly, and said, “By the way, I heard you mention ‘Tyrannical Song’ before. Were you referring to the first Sage in 1,000 years?”

Hong Fa’s eyes slightly lit up—had this handsome blond man approached them with the purpose of getting closer to Senior Tyrannical Song in mind? Was he trying to get through them and get closer to the first Sage in 1,000 years?

This was also human nature. If others knew that they were juniors of the first Sage in a thousand years, then they would also try to get close to them.

At this moment, Junior Brother Hong Tong replied, “Yeah, we’re looking for Senior Tyrannical Song, the first Sage in 1,000 years. We are looking for him to get him to stamp us.”

“Stamp? Are you all trying to enter Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s sect?” the handsome blond man asked.

These three who practiced defensive techniques were good seedlings, so wouldn’t it be unfortunate for them if they were to enter Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s sect?

His junior brother’s honest mouth made Hong Fa speechless for a while. As such, he could only say, “Nope, we’re getting stamped by Senior Tyrannical Song as a precaution.”

The handsome blond man asked, “Precaution? For what?”

At this time, the Second Senior Brother Hong Hai added, “It would be good for Fellow Daoist to know that we’re guarding against the fourth Sage in 1,000 years, Profound Sage Horizon!”

“You have enmity with Profound Sage Horizon?” The handsome blond man looked puzzled. He felt that the storyline was really complicated, and so were their relationships.

“Fellow Daoist, don’t misunderstand, that isn’t the case. There is no enmity between us and Profound Sage Horizon, it’s just that... Profound Sage Horizon has quite a bad reputation. He is well-known for being a ‘frenzied strength imparter demon’ who likes to transfer his pure energy to younger cultivators. Eight out of ten who are on the receiving end would end up buried by the heavenly tribulation. His strength impartation is simply terrifying.” Hong Hai then continued to explain, “With Profound Sage Horizon reaching the Eighth Stage, if he were to master the Sage Seal and learn its stamping powers, he would be able to remotely transfer power to whoever got stamped by him, which is really too terrifying. ”

“Damn, the stamp function could actually be used like that?” The handsome blond man was stunned as he acquired this new knowledge.

Second Senior Brother Hong Hai lamented, “It can only be said that our great world of cultivation is doomed.”

Junior Brother Hong Tong said, “So, the first thing we three brothers are doing after coming out of the sect is to go to Senior Tyrannical Song and get stamped so that we can prevent Profound Sage Horizon from secretly stamping us and transferring power to us from far away!”

The handsome blond man asked, “So that’s the case, but don’t you also have to worry about Profound Sage Tyrannical Song transferring power to you?”

“Don’t worry, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song is our senior, and wouldn’t do such a thing. And, in the future, there are still going to be many more disciples who are going to go to him to get a stamp. Even if Profound Sage Tyrannical Song also needs to transfer power, he would at least be able to split it between many people and spread it over everyone, and we might even end up benefiting from it.” Junior Brother Hong Tong divulged another secret once again.

“So that’s the case.” The handsome blond man nodded silently.

In his heart, he couldn’t help but raise his view of Profound Sage Tyrannical Song. It seemed that the other party was a virtuous man.

“Fellow Daoist, do you want to see Profound Sage Tyrannical Song? Do you need me to introduce him to you?” At this time, Hong Fa asked loudly—frankly, he felt very happy when communicating with the blond man. If the other party wanted to see Senior Tyrannical Song, he could notify Senior Tyrannical Song and see if he was willing to meet the other party.

The handsome blond man shook his head slightly, and said, “Thank you for your kindness. Although I also want to see Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, it isn’t the time yet. I still have other things to attend to.”

Tonight would be when he was going to meet Profound Sage Tyrannical Song. Right now... it was still too early.

At that time, he would be Sage Monarch Winter Melon, the fifth Sage in a thousand years.

Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival and the night of the full moon. As such, he had come to challenge the first Sage in 1,000 years, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song!

Tonight was his and Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s stage.

Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, you might not have thought so, but I’ve arrived!

Everyone thinks that I still want to consolidate my realm and will come to fight you next year, but I have come unexpected.

Tonight, our battle in Jiangnan area will start. Tyrannical Song, don’t run!
