Chapter 1445: Mighty Rooster
Chapter 1445: Mighty Rooster
Riding on the sacred rooster, Tian Ji arrived before the Dragon Society. With his ordinary looks and the featherless rooster he was mounted on, those who saw him instantly howled with laughter.
"Who’s this guy? He actually tamed a chicken as his mount? What a unique individual," said a Dragon Society member.
"Haha. It’s a bald chicken. Look at how skinny it is. I doubt it will serve well even as food. Someone using such a mount is probably a trash cultivator," said someone else.
This wasn’t the first time Tian Ji was laughed at. He knew what he was here to do, and he did not mind the laughter. As for the sacred rooster, it was also too prideful to pay those commoners any attention. Rather, it shut its eyes and stood there silently, completely ignoring all the Dragon Society members.
Tian Ji continued stepping toward the Dragon Society’s main gate. The main gate resembled the jaws of a dragon, looking incredibly majestic and valiant. The gate’s appearance and the draconic aura emanating from the gate were enough to cause any visitor to feel reverence.
"Where did this clown come from? This is the Dragon Society. Leave immediately, or you shall be killed!" berated the guard standing before the gate.
Tian Ji indifferently replied, "The Ziling Sect’s envoy is here, requesting a meeting with Long Jun of the Dragon Society."
"What? You’re the Ziling Sect’s envoy?" the guard cried out in alarm.
"That’s right. Please report my arrival," said Tian Ji calmly.
"Haha, looks like the Ziling Sect is really running out of talents. They actually sent two chickens as envoys?" the other guard roared with laughter.
"I thought the Ziling Sect was attacking us? Why are they sending envoys? Are they surrendering?" asked the guard.
"Hmph. Is this the manners of your Dragon Society?" said Tian Ji. With a cold snort, his Sovereign Realm aura was released and pressed down on the guards.
The guards were mere Emperors. How could they withstand Tian Ji’s suppression? They were immediately sent flying away. If Tian Ji hadn’t held back, they would have sustained serious injuries.
Finally, the guards realized that the visitor was not to be underestimated. They hurriedly ran in to report to their superiors. With the Ziling Sect’s invasion coming, they couldn’t afford to be careless.
Tian Ji thought that he would be summoned inside quickly, but even after he waited for a long time, nobody came out to meet him. He realized that they were intentionally making things difficult for him.
"Ziling Sect’s envoy, Tian Ji, requests a meeting with Long Jun," shouted Tian Ji. He was no idiot. Since they were making him wait, he had no choice but to call out himself.
His voice reverberated throughout the Dragon Society.
Tian Ji sneered and said, "As the ruler of a territory and someone with a heart as wide as an ocean, is Long Jun afraid of meeting an envoy from the Ziling Sect? Isn’t this an embarrassment to the Dragon Society?"
The Dragon Society couldn’t take the insult lying down.
"A mere envoy dares to act so arrogantly before us? Courting death!" someone replied.
Next, several figures flew out from the Dragon Society. These were the Sovereigns of the Dragon Society. With cultivation levels higher than Tian Ji, these people were definitely no weaklings.
"I’m here on behalf of the Ziling Sect, but you decided to act snobbish and make me wait for nothing. Is this how the Dragon Society treats their guests? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at by the world?" said Tian Ji.
"Audacious! I’ll kill you right where you stand! Let’s see if you can keep running your mouth after you’re dead!" said one of the furious Sovereigns as he charged forth and sent a palm attack at Tian Ji.
"Calm down, junior brother. Let’s give him a chance. If he can kowtow to us and crawl under our crotch, we can consider sparing him," said a different Sovereign with a sinister smile on his face.
"That’s right. A mere second-stage Sovereign dares to come run his mouth at our Dragon Society? He’s simply courting death," said someone else.
"Did you hear that? Drop to your knees and crawl under our crotches. Otherwise, die," shouted the first Sovereign.
Immediately, he released his fourth-stage Soul Foundation Realm aura and locked onto Tian Ji, making escape impossible.
Tian Ji showed no fear and shouted, "So this is how the Dragon Society treats their guests? In that case, just wait for your destruction."
Tian Ji had been provoked again and again. He was very disappointed that Long Jun refused to even grant him a meeting. Now that the Dragon Society members were trying to humiliate him, he wasn’t about to let them succeed. He even started considering retreating for now.
"How arrogant. Kneel down!" roared the fourth-stage Sovereign as he reached out toward Tian Ji’s head.
Tian Ji was one of the key disciples the Ziling Sect had focused on nurturing. Even if he was only a second-stage Sovereign, he was strong enough to stand against fourth-stage Sovereigns. Thus, he sent his own palm attack out unyieldingly.
Boom!
When the two palms met, Tian Ji sensed a power that he could hardly resist. He was nearly blasted off his mount. At this time, an indescribable power appeared and supported him. The Sovereign before him was sent flying away while coughing blood before anyone knew what was happening.
"I’m fine?" Tian Ji was stunned.
As for the Dragon Society people, they were greatly alarmed. None of them had imagined that a mere second-stage Sovereign would have such strength.
"Just you wait until I capture you. You will suffer a fate worse than death," said a fifth-stage Sovereign before clawing at Tian Ji.
Dragon Subduing Claw!
A dragon claw manifested and instantly arrived before Tian Ji. Just as the attack was about to hit him, his arm raised up involuntarily, and a power that did not belong to him appeared yet again. The claw was blasted apart as the power continued on toward the fifth-stage Sovereign.
Pu!
The fifth-stage Sovereign was also sent flying while coughing blood without even knowing what had happened.
Tian Ji was completely dumbstruck. He muttered to himself, "Did the young sect master possess my body? Is that why I’m suddenly so strong?"
"This kid is very strange. Let’s work together against him," the other three Sovereigns did not dare to be careless and decided to join hands.
The three Sovereigns attacked from three different directions, using all their strength and determination to kill Tian Ji.
Faced with such a situation, Tian Ji was completely helpless. But for some reason, he once again lost control over his body. With a casual wave of his arm, three attacks flew out, sending the three Sovereigns flying far away while coughing blood.
Tian Ji was still confused, but he grew incomparably excited as he said, "Hahaha, this is the consequences for those who look down on the Ziling Sect. Just wait for your destruction!"
Just as Tian Ji was about to leave, a voice rang out from within the Dragon Society, "Ziling Sect’s envoy, please come in."
