"Stop! How dare you injure a disciple of the Heartless School in front of me! Are you looking to die? "Huo Ping jumped into the battlefield and asked aggressively.
The enormous aura of the Origin realm immediately pressured the disciples of the Sacred Heavenly Star Clan. Everyone revealed expressions of dread.
"How dare you! You, an old man, are bullying the younger generation of the Sacred Heavenly Star Clan. Do you think there are no elders in the Sacred Heavenly Star Clan? " He Yuanyi coldly replied. The Sacred Heavenly Star Clan was the second ranked clan in the eastern region. In He Yuanyi's eyes, the eleventh ranked Heartless School was not even worth mentioning.
From He Yuanyi's point of view, it was already against the rules for Heartless Sect to send out an Elder. It was the norm for the sect to send out disciples to train and assist the forces in the secular world to obtain resources. What was with sending out an Elder who was forty or fifty years old?
After hearing He Yuanyi's yell, strangely, Huo Ping did not say anything else. He knew it was against the rules for him to go down to the mortal world, but assisting He Yuanjun was a death order from the clan. The Heartless School was determined to win the city lord of Water Pearl City. They did not even care about losing some face. They were willing to use any means necessary. As long as they could obtain the resources that Water Pearl City paid as tribute every year, all of that would not be a problem.
Seeing that the disciples of the Sacred Heavenly Star Clan stopped because of him, Huo Ping did not do anything else. He sullenly endured He Yuanyi's yell.
After a huge conflict, what replaced it was relative peace. Everyone below the stage was as quiet as cicadas in winter, waiting for the next development.
He Yuanjun also sat where he was with a twisted face. This time, he could not make a fuss anymore. His plan of getting a badge from He Lin, the pushover, was completely gone.
Looking around, He Yuanjun's expression became even darker. The disciples of the Heartless Clan under her command were all injured. Although there were no deaths or injuries, light or heavy injuries were unavoidable, especially her capable general Zhou Ji. His tendons and veins were close to shattering after Ah Da's blade Qi entered his body. Even if he did not die, he would definitely suffer from a chronic disease.
In the end, He Yuanjun's gaze landed on Tang Ao.
It was that person who messed up his entire plan. It was this person who caused him to lose the opportunity to obtain the token.
However, Tang Ao's strength also made He Yuanjun endlessly fearful. He could forcefully take an attack from Huo Ping, who was at the 3rd level of the Origin realm, and not be at a disadvantage. In an instant, he kicked away nine elite disciples from the Heartless School. How could Huo Ping not be fearful of that skill?
"What kind of place is this Universe Ring? Who are you? Why are you here to cause trouble?" Huo Ping stopped arguing with He Yuanyi and pointed his gun at Tang Ao.
"What a joke. Let's find out who's causing trouble, okay? The two of them were sparring one on one. As soon as you saw that you couldn't defeat them, you sneak attacked them and ganged up on them. We all saw it clearly. "Tang Ao sneered and he was not afraid at all because they were Origin realm experts.
"Yeah! An old man in his forties following his master to bully a child who hasn't even reached adulthood yet. How heartless! "
"Old man, hurry up and come down. Don't embarrass yourself on the stage anymore!"
"Old man, piss off!"
Just as Tang Ao finished speaking, the other martial artists below the Universe Ring resonated with him. In an instant, earth-shaking curses rang out.
Huo Ping's face suddenly reddened. He was only 40 years old and he was called an "old man" again.
It was no wonder. Since the ancient times, the resources of the cities were fought over by the disciples of the big sects. The number of times where elders appeared was extremely rare. The young martial artists had their own young martial artists' circles. Huo Ping forcefully squeezed his way in, so it would be strange if he didn't suffer.
"A country has its laws and a family has its rules. The fight for the Universe Ring is the He family's internal family matter. You are an outsider. What right do you have to interfere? You aren't any young master's retainer nor are you a member of the He family. What right do you have to interfere? " Huo Ping said with a flushed face. Although he was being condemned by thousands of people, for the sake of the mission given to him by his sect, he had no choice but to continue speaking.
"I am a disciple of the Seven Kills Sect. This time, I came down from the mountain to gain experience. When I passed by Water Bead City, I saw such a heartless scene. An elder brother bullying a weak younger brother, an elder disregarding his seniority and attacking a junior, and now, you, an old man, actually want to teach me a lesson. How ridiculous." Tang Ao said sarcastically. His eyes were filled with contempt as he looked at Huo Ping.
"Seven Kills Sect?" The people below the stage were shocked. The Seven Kills Sect was the third ranked sect in the Eastern Domain. They had a vast influence and many experts under their banner. Every disciple under their banner was an elite. The people below the stage were also shocked.
"You are a disciple of the Seven Kills Sect?" Huo Ping looked at the clothes that Tang Ao was wearing in a daze. He really was a disciple of the Seven Kills Sect.
He Yuanjun's face turned even paler. This Tang Ao was a disciple of the Seven Kills Sect. Therefore, He Yuanjun did not dare to do anything to him anymore.
A playful expression appeared on He Yuanyi's face. He looked like he was watching a good show. This Tang Ao was a disciple of the Seven Kills Sect. Moreover, he was going against He Yuanjun, whom he had the worst relationship with. He Yuanyi's mood suddenly became very good, and he felt the pleasure of revenge.
"That's right. I will never change my name or my surname. I am the disciple of the Seven Kills Sect, Tang Ao!" Tang Ao waved his robe. His elegance made the eyes of all the female disciples below the stage brighten.
He Lin's eyes turned red. He did not expect that there would be a powerful expert helping him at this moment. Moreover, it was a disciple of the Seven Kills Sect, which was ranked third in the Eastern Domain.
Although He Yuanyi was helping He Lin on the surface, in reality, he only wanted the token in He Lin's hand. He Lin was very clear that He Yuanyi commanded the disciples of the Heavenly Star Sacred Sect to fight against the disciples of the Heartless Sect. It was just to show off his powerful background in front of everyone.
Among everyone present, only Tang Ao dared to stand out. He Lin was very grateful. Only this Tang Ao was truly helping him.
In fact, He Lin was not wrong. Tang Ao really wanted to help He Lin. However, He Lin did not know Tang Ao's purpose.
Tang Ao's purpose was to support He Lin and make the entire Water Pearl City a vassal force of the Seven Kills Sect. From there, he would receive a large amount of resources from the Water Pearl City.
The Water Pearl City had been without a ruler for many years because the City Lord, He Fengyuan, was an extremely capable administrator. He only respected the imperial court. Although he had to hand over a certain amount of resources to the imperial court every year, these resources were just a drop in the ocean compared to the resources that the Water Pearl City produced every year.
On the contrary, He Fengyuan had married many women from the Eastern Domain's powerful forces. He had used all kinds of resources to make the Water Pearl City grow stronger. However, now that He Fengyuan's lifespan was coming to an end, the Water Pearl City had become a hot commodity that all the powerful forces were fighting over.
