Chapter 100: My Own Business, I Won’t Trouble Others!

Seeing that Elder Chi Yu was hell-bent on killing him, Lu Jin cast aside all other concerns. If that was how it was to be, then today, he would destroy her!

Just as he was about to strike, a figure rushed out ahead of him.

“Elder Chi Yu! Please stay your hand!”

Spiritual Qi condensed into a spear in Chu Tianxiong’s palm. He hurled it suddenly; it flew true, striking the blood-red sword in Elder Chi Yu’s hand with pinpoint accuracy.

*Dang!*

A roaring boom instantly echoed through the area. The blood sword was knocked aside by the spear. Qi erupted from the point of impact, sending ripples through the void that rolled toward Lu Jin’s flank.

Having deflected Elder Chi Yu’s attack with a single spear, Chu Tianxiong watched as the Elder’s expression darkened. She let out a cold shout.

“Chu Tianxiong!”

“Today, this Elder shall kill him! If you dare to interfere, you are provoking the majesty of the Blood Moon Holy Land!”

Elder Chi Yu’s threatening voice was filled with resolve, brokering no argument.

Facing such a threat from an Elder of the renowned Blood Moon Holy Land, Chu Tianxiong did not show the slightest hint of retreat.

“If Elder Chi Yu is determined to kill a genius of my Ten Thousand Swords Sect, then this Seat has no choice but to offend you!”

*Boom!*

As Chu Tianxiong’s words fell, a powerful aura permeated the field. His uncompromising momentum left the crowd in shock.

No one expected that for the sake of a single disciple, Chu Tianxiong would go so far as to offend Elder Chi Yu of the Blood Moon Holy Land.

That Elder Chi Yu was a powerful existence at the 3rd Transformation Purple Mansion Realm!

Among the Five Gates and Three Sects, there wasn’t a single expert of this caliber on the surface.

Therefore, in the eyes of the onlookers, Chu Tianxiong’s behavior was no different from seeking death.

“Heh, Sect Master Chu, with your strength, you are hardly enough to be a threat.”

Before Elder Chi Yu could speak, a powerhouse from the Holy Land stepped out from her side. His aura fluttered aggressively; he was a 1st Transformation Purple Mansion expert.

To reach the Purple Mansion Realm was to be a powerhouse of supreme standing within Qingzhou, and there were three such individuals following Elder Chi Yu.

“Sect Master, count me in as well!”

At that moment, Li Yunfeng, a Peak Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, stepped forward from behind. His aura erupted, his eyes filled with determination.

“And me!”

A young disciple walked out. Lu Jin looked over and saw it was none other than Tang Liu, one of the other male disciples from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect who had passed the testing.

He clearly hadn’t expected Tang Liu to stand up at a time like this.

Tang Liu looked at Lu Jin, his expression filled with righteous indignation.

“The Ten Thousand Swords Sect has produced a brother even more talented than I am. This is the glory of my sect! As a Shixiong, even if I am a weakling, I cannot stand by and watch our sect’s genius be threatened by others!”

As soon as these words were spoken, all the experts of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect behind them stepped forward one after another, united in their hatred for the common enemy.

Long Xiwei had been held back by Yun Chaomu, but she broke free and rushed over. She didn’t say a word, but the look in her eyes as she watched Lu Jin was one of complete willingness to share his fate.

“You lot? You are still not enough!”

Elder Chi Yu watched the members of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect prepare to resist together and laughed out of pure rage.

“Chu Tianxiong, you’ve actually surprised this Elder. It is rare for the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to be so united. Unfortunately, such noble behavior is nothing more than ignorant, suicidal folly in my eyes!”

Before Elder Chi Yu could finish, a woman’s voice rang out again.

“Oh? Elder Chi Yu certainly puts on a grand display of power. Are you not afraid of inciting public wrath by indiscriminately killing a disciple who passed the trial?”

The speaker was Yan Mo.

The tone of Yan Mo’s voice carried a strange quality that one couldn’t help but notice.

She seemed to stand high above, beyond desecration. However, when Elder Chi Yu looked at her, the Elder merely sneered.

“Fine. Since you’ve put it that way, then today, I shall leave not a single soul alive among those who oppose me!”

The moment she said this, the temperature of the surrounding air seemed to plummet. People’s hearts felt as though they had fallen into an ice cellar.

The experts from the other Five Gates and Three Sects had complicated expressions, whispering among themselves in the shadows.

If a massive conflict truly broke out today, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect might cease to exist!

However, just after Yan Mo finished speaking, several strange figures who had gone unnoticed until now suddenly soared into the center of the field. These figures were draped in black robes, appearing quite mysterious, with even their faces obscured by black cloth.

As the group of black-robed men swept into the field, the crowd’s expressions shifted as they tried to guess their identities.

The leader of the group suddenly slammed two giant axes together. A clear, crisp ring of clashing metal echoed out, followed by his sonorous, forceful voice.

“Since when did an Elder of the Blood Moon Holy Land become so arrogant!”

As he spoke, his aura flooded the surroundings. Elder Chi Yu’s expression changed instantly.

The aura of this black-robed man was not weak; it seemed to be on par with her own.

“Who are you? Why do you interfere in the business of my Blood Moon Holy Land?”

Elder Chi Yu’s gaze remained icy, showing no intention of backing down.

“Heh! It seems my Guardian Dragon Guard has been inactive for too long. Even the Blood Moon Holy Land no longer recognizes the Dragon-Slaying Axes of the Tianxuan Empire’s Guardian Dragon Guard!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone’s faces changed drastically.

“What? They are actually the Guardian Dragon Guard!”

“The super elite Dragon Guard established by the Tianxuan Imperial Family? Why would they appear here?”

“Incredible! To think I could witness the majesty of the Guardian Dragon Guard with my own eyes today! This trip wasn’t in vain! Even if I wasn’t selected, it was worth it!”

“Now that the Guardian Dragon Guard has intervened, Elder Chi Yu will likely have to stand down today. But I am curious, just what kind of ability does that Lu Jin have to make even the Guardian Dragon Guard step in to save him?”

“It is indeed strange, but it makes sense if such a genius caught the Empire’s eye…”

The appearance of the Guardian Dragon Guard experts caused a flurry of discussion. Chu Tianxiong, who had been facing off in the center, was also stunned.

He clearly hadn’t expected the Guardian Dragon Guard to come here, let alone stand up to resolve the crisis.

Lu Jin frowned as he looked at the Guardian Dragon Guard powerhouse. However, he keenly noticed that Yan Mo, standing in the crowd, had a faint smile in her beautiful eyes. The way she looked at the Guardian Dragon Guard was completely different from everyone else.

*Could it be… related to her?*

Lu Jin’s brow furrowed.

At this point, seeing the Guardian Dragon Guard step forward, Elder Chi Yu’s expression finally shifted.

“So it is the Empire’s Guardian Dragon Guard. Forgive my lack of manners.”

Even a high-and-mighty Elder of the Blood Moon Holy Land had to be respectful when meeting the Guardian Dragon Guard.

Although the Blood Moon Holy Land and the Imperial Family did not usually entangle with one another and maintained a policy of non-interference, basic relations had to be upheld.

Elder Chi Yu clearly did not want to become the catalyst for discord between the Holy Land and the Imperial Family over this matter.

The voice of the leading black-robed man was cold.

“Elder Chi Yu, do you intend to persist in your course of action today?”

Hearing this, Elder Chi Yu’s gaze became conflicted. Soon, however, she let out a cold laugh.

“Since the Guardian Dragon Guard has intervened, this Elder will naturally show due respect. I can refrain from killing him today. However, as for how long he can live, that will depend on his own luck!”

The meaning was clear: she wouldn’t kill him today, but she would another day.

Hearing this, the Guardian Dragon Guard expert looked inconspicuously toward where Yan Mo was standing. For a moment, the entire field was deathly silent.

But right then, a voice spoke up calmly.

“So it is the Guardian Dragon Guard. My thanks for this time.”

“However, I, Lu Jin, settle my own business. I do not wish to trouble others.”

Lu Jin stepped forward. After he finished speaking, he looked at Elder Chi Yu, the killing intent in his eyes not diminishing in the slightest.
