Chapter 59: Revenge?

“Junior Brother Ji, I come to ask for some seeds!”

“Please, Junior Brother Ji, show some mercy!”

Just as Ji Yang was about to leave, another group of disciples approached him seeking spiritual grains.

Unlike the previous group, these disciples had high ranks, most of them being high-level cultivators in Qi Refinement, but they all had red faces and did not dare to meet Ji Yang’s gaze.

Ji Yang’s keen eyes quickly discerned the reason. These were the same disciples who had mocked him earlier.

However, he didn’t mind giving them some seeds.

He handed out the remaining He Hua spiritual grains, as they were of little use to him; spiritual grains that could not produce Blue Light Points were worth nothing to him.

The disciples who received the spiritual grains looked embarrassed and were extremely grateful to Ji Yang.

Seeing Ji Yang give away all of his seeds, one disciple asked in confusion, “Senior Brother Ji, aren’t you keeping some for yourself?”

They came over because they had seen Qiao Yuan successfully acquire seeds earlier, so they had gathered the courage to ask as well. They never expected Ji Yang to give them all away.

Though they had nowhere to plant the extra spiritual grains, they could sell them for a good amount of spiritual stones.

Ji Yang waved his hand: “I’m leaving. Good luck, everyone! Strive to return to the sect soon.”

Hearing this, the crowd was not surprised; instead, they sincerely congratulated him:

“Congratulations, Senior Brother Ji!”

“This is what Senior Brother Ji deserves!”

At that moment, there was no jealousy in their eyes, only a touch of regret.

After Ji Yang left, many disciples began to talk among themselves:

“Senior Brother Ji has extraordinary talent, yet he overlooks past grievances; it truly makes us feel embarrassed!”

“Exactly, that Elder Li cannot be a good person; even someone like Senior Brother Ji cannot tolerate him!”

“Hmph, just a mere elder. In ten years, let’s see how I handle him!”

Not far away, Elder Li passed by, feeling his blood pressure rising and anger blazing in his eyes. That damned Ji Yang!

When Ji Yang walked out of Feng Ling Valley and returned to the sect, he felt quite pensive.

The last time he came back seemed to be a month ago. Time flies, and the years never stop.

The first thing he did upon returning to the sect was head to the Unity with the Dao secret realm to claim his rewards.

As Ji Yang walked towards the secret realm, he pondered what he should take.

Magic treasures? Spiritual plants? Spells? Or supernatural abilities?

While Ji Yang was deep in thought, he noticed that more and more disciples were gathering around him. They stood at a distance, afraid to get too close, only daring to steal glances filled with fear and curiosity.

This puzzled Ji Yang. He hadn’t caused any trouble recently, had he?

Even regarding the He Hua spiritual grains, he hadn’t spread any news; that should only be circulating within Feng Ling Valley, right?

Ji Yang turned his gaze toward one of the outer disciples and approached him, preparing to ask about the situation.

However, the disciple who felt Ji Yang’s stare changed color in a panic and quickly used the God Travel Technique, not forgetting to stick on two speed talismans, and in the blink of an eye, he dashed away, fearing that Ji Yang might draw his sword against him.

Ji Yang found this quite speechless. Was he really that frightening?

He then looked at the other disciples; anyone who made eye contact with him retreated.

Deciding to ignore them, Ji Yang continued walking, secretly spreading his primordial spirit’s power to eavesdrop on their conversations.

“Senior Brother Ji is indeed a Talent Jealousy, having already reached the sixth level of Qi Refinement.”

“Has anyone gone to inform Senior Brother Cai Jing?”

Someone in the crowd asked.

“Someone has gone. During Senior Brother Ji’s punishment period, Senior Brother Cai Jing swore to avenge Kong Bai!”

“Of course! It is said that they are close friends. Before entering the sect, they had a good relationship and even made a pact to enter the Foundation Establishment stage together! It is only right for him to avenge Kong Bai.”

Listening to the brief exchanges, Ji Yang quickly understood the reason behind it.

They were looking for revenge.

From the conversations, Ji Yang also gathered that Cai Jing was only a disciple at the Tenth Level of Qi Refinement. Though he held some reputation among the outer disciples, he was not a match for Kong Bai. It seemed their relationship was indeed quite strong.

Before Ji Yang could think further, the onlooking disciples stepped aside, and a kind-faced, extraordinary disciple slowly walked toward Ji Yang.

Seeing the change in the disciples’ expressions, it was clear that this person was the Cai Jing they spoke of.

Watching peers battle was also one way to improve oneself.

Moreover, Ji Yang’s reputation in the outer sect had skyrocketed; Talent Jealousy made overcoming opponents seem as easy as eating, which further piqued the interest of other disciples.

Before Ji Yang could say a word, Cai Jing stopped and cupped his hands:

“Please, Senior Brother Ji, give me some guidance!”

Noticing Cai Jing’s friendly attitude and proper manners, without a hint of resentment or impulsiveness of a vengeful person, Ji Yang nodded inwardly. There were indeed outstanding individuals among the outer disciples; perhaps he had underestimated them.

“Please.”

Though Cai Jing’s demeanor was friendly, it didn’t change the fact that he was still an opponent, and Ji Yang wouldn’t hold back.

Seeing Ji Yang take out his entry-level flying sword, Cai Jing took the initiative and cast the Fireball Technique.

As the fireball soared toward him, Ji Yang furrowed his brow, not because the attack was too strong, but because it was too weak; this was not an attack one would expect from a cultivator at the Tenth Level of Qi Refinement.

With a casual swing of his sword, Ji Yang easily shattered the fireball with his displayed power.

Looking at Cai Jing, he surprisingly stopped attacking after that and chose to defend instead, which puzzled Ji Yang even more.

However, out of respect for his opponent, Ji Yang didn’t hold back and swing his sword again.

This sword strike was the Heart Sword divine ability.

Feeling the lock of sword intent, Cai Jing’s expression turned serious, but he merely casually cast a Wood Shield Technique in front of him, then made no further moves.

Onlookers murmured in astonishment:

“Senior Brother Cai is being so arrogant?”

“Senior Brother Ji’s sword intent is remarkable; Kong Bai must go all out against it. Has Cai Brother really grown that strong?”

Many showed confusion.

They had expected an intense duel, but the result was far from their imagination.

Though Ji Yang still used a single sword, Cai Jing’s reaction was far too lackluster. Even the Wood Shield Technique felt rather perfunctory, almost as if he had the intention to take on that strike, making many doubt their judgment.

With the Heart Sword locked in, it arrived in an instant.

In the next moment, the sword energy penetrated Cai Jing’s body.

As the sword energy entered, Cai Jing’s face turned pale, yet a spark of brilliance appeared in his eyes.

He watched as Cai Jing’s originally Tenth Level of Qi Refinement cultivation level began to drop, falling straight to the Ninth Level of Qi Refinement!

“Alas, once again it’s this sword; Senior Brother Ji is truly too strong!”

The onlooking disciples gasped in amazement. Though many had seen that sword before, witnessing Ji Yang’s action again evoked admiration.

That sword was truly formidable.
