"Kneel!"
While Ling Dong was speaking, You Xingguan suddenly let out an explosive roar. It was like a sudden clap of thunder that shook the souls of everyone present. That explosive roar contained a trace of Spiritual Energy.
Ling Dong's face turned ashen. In truth, You Xingguan's roar didn't affect Ling Dong much. However, the request to kneel had crossed Ling Dong's bottom line.
You Xingguan snorted when he saw that Ling Dong didn't kneel on the spot. He placed his hands on the armrest and lifted his head slightly to look at the sky. A cold, murderous intent slowly rose from You Xingguan's body.
Kuixing Pavilion Master, who was standing not far from Ling Dong, and Zi Yao's grandfather, Zi Chenfeng, who was standing behind Kuixing Pavilion Master, were desperately trying to signal Ling Dong. Kuixing Pavilion Master was even risking his life to use Secret Sound Transmission to persuade Ling Dong.
"Pill King Ling, a wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. Let's get through this first!" Kuixing Pavilion Master tried to persuade Ling Dong, but all he got in return was a sharp, murderous glare from You Xingguan.
At such a close distance, You Xingguan's spiritual power was definitely stronger than Kuixing Pavilion Master's. It could be said that he could sense Kuixing Pavilion Master's every move.
Feeling the chilling killing intent, the faces of Liu Yaoguang, Gao Yuan, Qiu Qingyi, Tu Bai, and his father Ling Yuanshan who was far away in Nanshan flashed across Ling Dong's mind. Ling Dong made a decision in an instant!
Thump!
When the soft sound was heard, Ling Dong bent his knees and hit the ground. He knelt down in front of You Xing Official and said, "Ling Dong from True Gang Sect is here to pay my respects to Lord You Xing Official. Ling Dong is late, please forgive me!"
Ling Dong's thoughts were simple and direct. If his kneeling could save the Ling family and True Gang Sect from destruction, he wouldn't mind kneeling a few more times.
His kneeling was nothing compared to the safety of his family and friends.
Besides, what else could Ling Dong do if he didn't kneel? Could it be that he had to fight with You Qian Jun, You Xingguan? Not to mention whether Ling Dong could kill You Xingguan, even if he did, the entire True Gang Sect, Ling Family, and everyone related to Ling Dong would face annihilation!
This You Xingguan was a Celestial Official appointed by the Wood Elemental Realm of the Upper Realm. Furthermore, he had a powerful sect as his backing. If Ling Dong had the chance to kill this You Xingguan, then when the faction behind this You Xingguan found out about You Qianjun's death, it was easy to imagine how they would retaliate!
Not to mention, Ling Dong basically had no chance of killing You Xingguan. When Ling Dong came here, he had carefully thought about it. If it really came down to a fight, his forbidden technique — Three Stars Break the Heavens — might be able to threaten this You Xingguan or cause limited damage!
However, the prerequisite was that Ling Dong had to be in front of You Xingguan and have enough time to use Three Stars Heaven Splitter and hit You Qianjun.
The difference in their cultivation levels was too great. At such a close distance, You Xingguan would probably be able to kill Ling Dong several times if Ling Dong tried to resist.
As for the newly acquired Purple Spirit Feather, it might have terrifying power. However, no matter how strong it was, it had to hit the opponent first.
Ling Dong had thought about all these things on his way here. Therefore, at this moment, Ling Dong only had one thought before he knelt before You Xingguan.
When he saw Ling Dong kneel down, You Xingguan, who was seated on the jade throne, swept a disdainful glance at Ling Dong as he shouted, "A mere ant actually dares to come three days late! Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that you have some talent and might be useful in the future, I would definitely kill you today to show my might! "
Hearing this, Ling Dong's hair stood on end. His Spirit power quietly spread out, sensing You Xingguan's actions. If he really wanted to kill Ling Dong, he wouldn't be standing here waiting for death.
"Since you weren't originally summoned by me, and I only summoned you at the last moment after I found out about your name, I won't be calculative with you this time! However, you won't be forgiven. Kneel here for a month and apologize for your crimes! "
You Qianjun's voice became stern. "If you dare to be the slightest bit negligent in the future, hmph! And the rest of you as well. If you dare to neglect my orders, you won't be as lucky as he is! "
You Qianjun's words caused the expressions of the experts, who were gloating over Ling Dong's misfortune and disliked him, to turn cold. They all hurriedly lowered their heads.
"Alright, all of you can disperse. Hurry up and do what I told you to do. If you can't complete it within half a year, hmph!" After another harsh snort, You Xingguan waved his hand, leaned back slightly, and closed his eyes.
Seeing You Xingguan waving his hand, the numerous Heavenly Dipper Realm experts and the various sects' heads felt as if they had been pardoned and rushed down Heaven Connecting Peak like a swarm of bees. Only when they were several miles away from the Heaven Connecting Platform did they dare to fly away.
In the blink of an eye, only You Qianjun, You Xingguan, and Ling Dong, who was kneeling seven to eight meters away from You Xingguan, were left on the Heaven Connecting Platform. Tu Bai, Bu Yangming, and Chu Fangyue were still dangling on the cliff of the Heaven Connecting Platform!
Not long after, Ling Dong, who was kneeling on the ground, emitted a vigorous wave of Gang Qi. Waves of green liquid, which was as thick as mud, sprayed around You Qianjun's body. It also emitted a terrifying pressure to the surroundings!
Under this terrifying pressure, Ling Dong had no choice but to bend slightly in order to withstand the pressure. Ling Dong's face turned ugly.
This was merely the aura pressure that You Qianjun unintentionally emitted during his cultivation, and it was already so terrifying. If he deliberately did it, Ling Dong might not even be able to stand up straight under the full force of his resistance!
The night was cold, and the mountain wind was like a knife!
You Qianjun was cultivating as if there was no one around, while Ling Dong could only wait quietly. At this time, Ling Dong's heart had also calmed down.
No matter what, it was still related to strength. No matter where one was, strength was the foundation of one's existence. In front of You Qianjun's strength, whether it was the high and mighty Kuixing Pavilion Master or the world-renowned Pill King Ling Dong, they all had to kneel before Celestial Official You Qianjun.
Ever since his rebirth, Ling Dong had never yearned for strength and time as much as he did now!
The sun rose and set. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Celestial Official You Qianjun had cultivated for three days, while Ling Dong had knelt here for three days. Tu Bai, Bu Yangming, and Chu Fangyue had also hung on the cliff for three days.
In the afternoon, You Qianjun woke up from his cultivation. He coldly glanced at Ling Dong and took out a few things. They should be fruits or something similar. He started to eat them.
"Pfft!"
A fruit core ruthlessly smashed into Ling Dong's face. The force was so great that not only did Ling Dong's body shake a few times, but his forehead was also bleeding. In the blink of an eye, his face was covered in blood.
"What, are you angry? Very angry? Pfft! " As he spoke, You Qianjun smashed another fruit core into Ling Dong's forehead. Ling Dong finally understood what You Qianjun was trying to do!
This bastard had nothing better to do in between cultivation, so he was making fun of Ling Dong!
Unconsciously, Ling Dong slowly clenched his fists. You Qianjun, who was making fun of Ling Dong, seemed to notice Ling Dong's actions. He sneered again. "Heh, reckless fool. How dare you be angry at me? It's your honor that I'm making fun of you! "
"Come, raise your head. Let me take a look at you. Let me see if you are angry or not!" You Qianjun leaned against the jade throne and casually draped one leg over the back of the chair as he spoke to Ling Dong playfully.
When he heard this, the anger in Ling Dong's eyes abruptly receded. He kept reminding himself, "I have to endure for my family and friends! I have to endure! "
After restraining the anger on his face, Ling Dong slowly raised his head according to You Xingguan's request. However, at this moment, Ling Dong's face was covered in blood. He couldn't be considered handsome, but rather ferocious!
You Xingguan seemed to have noticed that Ling Dong was deliberately restraining his anger. He suddenly laughed loudly. "Is this all there is to the peerless genius of the Tiangang Continent? In front of me, you have no choice but to hide your dissatisfaction and anger without leaving a trace behind! It's as if you're afraid that I'll discover it!
Let me tell you, this is the rule. The rule of this world, the rule of the strong preying on the weak! In the future, you should learn to be more obedient. Don't let me discover your … "
At this point, You Xingguan's voice suddenly stopped. He looked at Ling Dong in surprise, as if he was thinking about something.
"Eh? Why do I feel that it's a bit similar? " You Qianjun muttered unconsciously. A light flashed in his hand, and a scroll painting appeared. When he opened it, he started sizing up Ling Dong!
"Ling Dong, wipe the blood off your face. Wipe it clean and let me take a good look at you!" You Qianjun said sternly as he compared it to the scroll painting.
Ling Dong's heart skipped a beat. What was the scroll that this fella was holding? What is it painted on it?
In the blink of an eye, Ling Dong wiped the blood off his face.
"Hiss!"
Almost at the same time, You Qianjun sucked in a breath of cold air. His eyes flashed with ecstasy. That ecstasy made You Qianjun's hand tremble slightly.
This scene was seen by Ling Dong, and it also made Ling Dong instantly alert!
In the moment of ecstasy, You Qianjun's eyes suddenly revealed a trace of killing intent. This trace of killing intent directly fell on Ling Dong's body, and it was still rising rapidly, making Ling Dong's hair stand on end!
"This You Qianjun wants to kill me?" When he judged this, Ling Dong became anxious. Why did this guy suddenly want to kill him? What is that scroll painting?
However, right now, Ling Dong didn't have time to think about this. Ling Dong knew that if You Qianjun wanted to kill him now, it could be said that Ling Dong couldn't resist even if he found out!
Life and death on the line!
Ling Dong's eyes flashed with a cold light. Since life and death were on the line, he had to take the risk!
Taking the risk of killing an official!
This was an extremely dangerous plan that Ling Dong had thought of in the past few days when he had nothing to do!
Ling Dong used the shortest words to point out the most important thing in his dangerous plan! "Reporting to Sir Star Official, a few days ago in the Fiery Sparrow Secret Realm, I obtained an extraordinary purple feather. Now, I want to offer it to Sir Star Official to atone for my sins!"
The Fiery Sparrow was a treasure!
The Fiery Sparrow was not an ordinary existence. Ling Dong thought that it should be able to attract You Qianjun's attention!
As Ling Dong expected, when You Qianjun heard the two words "Fiery Sparrow", he was suddenly stunned, and a greedy look appeared in his eyes. The terrifying aura that had just locked onto Ling Dong suddenly disappeared. "Oh, the purple feather on the Fiery Sparrow, quickly take it out for me to see!"
"I'll take it out right now!" As he spoke, a purple feather that was ten meters long appeared in Ling Dong's hand!
Almost at the same time, Ling Dong's heart was in his mouth!
