Chapter 1360 Siblings with Malice
Moreover, this person not only cut in line, but also clearly wanted to bully the weak. Seeing that Chen Yang was alone, without even a single flying beast by his side, and with a refined, scholarly air, he probably thought he was easy to bully, so he chose to land next to him and take his place.
The cruelty of the cultivation world, the law of the jungle, and the survival of the fittest are vividly displayed at this moment.
Those around him looked at Chen Yang with pity.
At the same time, they all remained indifferent, keeping to themselves.
In everyone's eyes, Chen Yang would either leave like a stray dog or be pounced on by a golden eagle.
"roll!"
Unexpectedly, Chen Yang showed no mercy, roared angrily, and did not dodge at all.
Crucially, his angry shout, imbued with powerful energy, startled the golden eagle that was landing and had extended its large claws to grab him. Sensing a strong threat, the eagle immediately became somewhat intimidated.
He doesn't provoke trouble, but he's definitely not afraid of trouble either.
Cultivating immortality is all about having an invincible Dao heart. If you're afraid of someone's threat, you might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.
"You're asking for death! I told you to get out of the way, didn't you hear me? Do you know who I am?"
The man on the golden eagle's back was also enraged, his eyes blazing with fury. He then commanded the golden eagle, which was sitting on him, "Catch him and kill him. Teach him a lesson."
Hey!
Upon receiving its master's command, the golden eagle let out a melodious cry, and immediately became enraged. With a vengeance born of its rage, it stretched out its claws, as big as washbasins, and reached for Chen Yang's crown.
Clang!
Chen Yang suddenly drew his longsword, and a chilling sword aura surged forth.
If this golden eagle dares to swat at him with its big claws, he'll chop it off without hesitation.
Even the man on the back of the golden eagle didn't have the right to live.
"Li Wentian, that's enough, stop right now."
Just then, another young woman on the golden eagle's back shouted.
"Little Jin, fly up and get to the back!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the young woman lightly stomped one foot on the golden eagle's back. The golden eagle, which was originally swooping down, suddenly changed direction, flew upwards, and then obediently flew to the back of the group.
Clang!
Seeing that the other party wisely flew away, Chen Yang snorted coldly and put away his sword.
"Sister, what are you doing? The line is so long, when will we be able to get into the city? That kid is all alone, what's wrong with me cutting in line?" The young man was very angry.
He wanted to cut in line because the queue was too long.
Seeing that Chen Yang was all alone again, they thought he would be easy to bully, so they tried to cut in line next to him.
"Li Wentian, this is Yaochi Holy City, not Tianlan City. If you cause trouble here, even your father can't save you," the young woman said angrily.
Although Chen Yang was alone, she still sensed great danger the moment he drew his sword.
"It's just cutting in line, what trouble could it cause? Besides, this is outside the city, even if something happens, the Yaochi Holy Land won't care." The young man didn't think he was wrong, and he didn't think Chen Yang was so powerful that he couldn't afford to provoke him.
Although Yaochi Holy City is full of hidden talents, he didn't think he was so unlucky as to encounter a real dragon right away.
This is a low-probability event.
They are a brother and sister, the older sister named Li Yuchan and the younger brother named Li Wentian, from Tianlan City in the Northern Region. Their father is the city lord of Tianlan City and a powerful Golden Core cultivator. They come from a wealthy and privileged family, which fostered Li Wentian's arrogant and domineering personality.
Although Li Wentian really wanted to cut in line and even wanted to cause trouble for Chen Yang, he was ultimately unable to do so due to the repeated interference of his sister, Li Yuchan.
Li Yuchan's personality is completely different from her brother's; she adheres to the principle of "better safe than sorry."
……
Although there were guards in front of the tall gate tower, they did not check anything and usually let people pass directly.
Entering the Holy City of Yaochi felt like stepping into another world.
The streets were bustling with people, and the stalls were so numerous that they were impossible to count, just like a market fair.
Many of them possessed immense auras, and their cultivation levels were often at the Divine Realm, with quite a few also reaching the Golden Core stage.
With the opening of the Spirit Ruins imminent, Yaochi Holy City has become a gathering place for powerful figures, truly a place where divine realm beings are everywhere and golden core cultivators are as common as dogs.
Therefore, you must keep a low profile here. If you offend a big shot, you might get slapped to death.
The streets were wide and decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, with large red lanterns hanging high, creating a joyous atmosphere.
The vendors shouted loudly, selling all kinds of delicacies, silks and satins, ancient books and ritual implements, and various weapons such as knives, spears, swords, and halberds. The industry and commerce were extremely developed.
Having not felt the warmth of everyday life for a long time, Chen Yang stopped in front of a meat bun vendor, intending to buy a few to try and treat himself.
He still had some spirit stones on him, and spirit stones were a form of hard currency in the Kunlun Immortal Sect.
In addition, if you can offer animal cores or elixirs, the merchants will accept them and you can barter with them.
Suddenly, an angry voice rang out behind him: "You brat, I told you to get out of the way, why didn't you? Don't you want to get back at me?"
Chen Yang turned around and saw that it was the young man who had ridden the golden eagle earlier, standing behind him, glaring at him angrily, still holding a grudge about what had just happened.
"Ow!"
A golden eagle, taller than a person, stood beside Chen Yang looking like a dog. It barked at Chen Yang, its eyes wide like copper bells, looking extremely fierce.
A golden eagle that can grow to such a large size is clearly not an ordinary golden eagle, but a spirit bird, and its cultivation level has reached the divine realm. It is definitely a formidable opponent.
"Li Wentian, shut up! What did I just tell you? If Father finds out, he'll beat you to death!" A woman's sharp voice rang out.
It was Li Wentian's older sister, Li Yuchan.
The siblings looked very young, one at the mid-stage of the Divine Realm and the other at the early stage, but their actual ages were both over forty.
Born into a wealthy family, the two sisters are both exceptionally beautiful.
Li Wentian was tall and imposing, with a handsome face and dressed in fine clothes, making him a truly dashing man. However, his eyes were unfriendly, and his demeanor exuded arrogance and domineering swagger.
Li Yuchan was tall and curvaceous with beautiful features. She wore a light purple, tight-fitting Taoist robe and some gold and silver jewelry, exuding an air of nobility. She stood out from the crowd, and every man and woman who passed by couldn't help but take a second look.
"Excuse me, fellow Daoist, my younger brother is young and always speaks without thinking, often spouting nonsense. Please don't take it to heart. His assertiveness is all on the surface; he has no real malice. My name is Li Yuchan, and my younger brother's name is Li Wentian. We come from Tianlan City in the Northern Region. May I ask your name, brother? And which sect are you from?" Li Yuchan asked Chen Yang with a slight smile, introducing herself right away, showing her utmost sincerity.
Her personality and way of dealing with people are completely opposite to her younger brother Li Wentian; she seems to be a very nice person.
"Sis, why are you telling him all this? He's all alone, and he looks like a nobody. He's not worth befriending. Befriending him would only be a burden to us." Li Wentian was practically going crazy when he heard that his older sister wanted to get to know Chen Yang.
In his eyes, Chen Yang was just a loser, even if he had the cultivation of a god, he was still a loser god.
Just by looking at Chen Yang buying meat buns on the roadside, you can see how pathetic he is.
In the Kunlun Immortal Sect, meat buns are for ordinary people; who among normal cultivators would eat such a thing?
In his view, young masters and ladies from wealthy and powerful families like themselves should associate with the true disciples, core disciples, or even holy sons and goddesses of first- or second-rate sects.
It's beneath you to associate with someone like Chen Yang.
"Li Wentian, shut up! If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute," Li Yuchan said angrily.
Elder sisters always exert bloodline pressure on their younger brothers; this is true in the secular world, and the Kunlun Immortal Sect is no exception.
After being scolded by his older sister, Li Wentian grunted and immediately became obedient.
At this moment, Chen Yang said, "Your brother is right. I am indeed a rogue cultivator, a self-taught practitioner, and there's nothing to get to know about me."
Chen Yang acted coldly and had no intention of getting to know the siblings.
Although he was somewhat annoyed, Li Yuchan's attitude was sincere enough that he couldn't explode.
“Ah, rogue cultivators? Actually, in a way, we can be considered rogue cultivators too. We've cultivated at home since childhood without joining any sect. As the old saying goes, all rogue cultivators under heaven are one family. Meeting is fate. Why don't we get to know each other? When we get to the Spirit Ruins, we can look after each other and help each other out.” Li Yuchan said with a smile, appearing very friendly, and finally revealed her true intentions.
The Spirit Ruins is a dangerous place, containing not only ferocious beasts at the Divine Realm level but also those at the Golden Core level. Since the disciples undergoing the trial are all at the Divine Realm level, they will inevitably become prey for these beasts.
In addition, there are battles between trial disciples, and various grudges and feuds that will also cause a lot of casualties.
Independent cultivators, without sect or affiliation, often become targets of attack, so forming teams is the best option.
"Sister, I think it's not me who's crazy, it's you. If someone like him goes to the Spirit Ruins, he definitely won't last a day. He'll only be a burden to us. With our status, if we just raise our arms, disciples from many powerful families will be vying to befriend us. Why are you still clinging to this crooked tree?" Li Wentian said with a pained expression.
Although they were also independent cultivators, they came from prestigious families and looked down on Chen Yang, a self-taught cultivator.
“Your brother is right. Go and make friends with other people. I’m not worth it, and I won’t associate with you.” Chen Yang took the steaming hot meat bun from the vendor, gave him a spirit stone, and turned to leave.
"Ah, fellow Daoist..."
Seeing that Chen Yang had left and ignored her completely, Li Yuchan stomped her feet in anger.
The brat not only ignored her status, but also her beauty.
"Li Wentian, I'm warning you again, this is Yaochi Holy City, not Tianlan City. You better keep your tail between your legs, or you might offend someone you shouldn't and get slapped to death. Besides, having more friends means having more options. I have my own reasons for wanting to befriend this person," Li Yuchan said angrily, her eyes sharpening.
"Sister? The person you're talking about that we can't offend isn't him, is it? If I can't even afford to offend a rogue cultivator like him, then I've wasted these past few decades. I might as well just kill myself. Besides, someone like him wouldn't survive a day in the Spirit Ruins. He's pure cannon fodder. What good would it do us to befriend him?" Li Wentian disagreed with his older sister's words and argued his point.
“So what if he’s cannon fodder? Cannon fodder has his value too,” Li Yuchan said loudly.
"What value?"
"When danger arises, he can be used as a scapegoat. That's his value."
"So you wanted to use him as a scapegoat? Why didn't you say so sooner?"
Li Wentian then suddenly realized what was going on.
……
Chen Yang had an exceptionally sharp ear, and when he heard those words from Li Yuchan, his heart skipped a beat.
He had a good impression of this woman earlier, thinking she was a good person, but now he realized her intentions: to befriend him so that she could use him as cannon fodder and a scapegoat in a critical moment.
You can know a person's face but not their heart!
He gave a wry smile, not really caring, but reminding himself not to think too highly of people, lest he be sold out without even realizing it.
"Get the hell out of the way, or you'll be responsible for the consequences if you get hit."
Just then, a man's loud shout suddenly came from the bustling street.
Rumble!
The ground rumbled underfoot, as if a million warhorses were galloping.
The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of savage cavalry who, instead of dismounting, rode their beasts into the city. They even disregarded the crowded streets and charged forward recklessly.
Others, however, did not do this. They dismounted at the city gate and obediently held their mounts, regardless of what kind of wild beasts they were riding.
The once orderly street was thrown into chaos by the appearance of this group of savage cavalry.
You should know that there are not only ordinary people on the street, but also many cultivators, gods, and even golden core cultivators.
Not all of these people have a good temper.
Some cultivators wanted to explode, but when they saw the master of the iron cavalry, they all gasped and quickly shut their mouths, not daring to say another word.
Among them were even Golden Core cultivators, who, upon recognizing this group, dared not act rashly but instead kept a low profile and pretended not to see them.
boom!
Li Wentian reacted a beat too slow and was bumped by a golden-haired lion among the savage cavalry. His shoulder burned with pain, and he staggered, almost falling to the ground.
Boom!
His mount, the golden eagle, was knocked to the ground by the golden lion, taking a tumble and losing many feathers.
"Damn it, you're asking for it! Who hit me? Are you blind?" Li Wentian was furious on the spot. Before he could even see who hit him, he cursed.
"Ow!"
The golden eagle also roared angrily.
After the roar, the golden eagle suddenly sprang up, flapped its wings, and stretched out a large claw to grab the golden-maned lion that had charged at it.
The golden eagle, the king of birds, is not known for its good temper.
