"Hahahaha... Little brother, you really know how to joke." The middle-aged Xuan Yunyi said with an angry laugh when he heard Yu Tianjun's words. "Not to mention this is Ghost Fang Island, not your home, but even if it were your home, it wouldn't be like this."
"Fourth Uncle! Can you give me that little beast?" Behind him, a young woman who looked about twenty years old and was at the Earth Core Realm said.
"Oh! Fu Mei is also interested in that little beast?" A young man behind her, who was at the Heaven Core Realm, said.
"Hehe! Hong Ge! I really like that little beast." The girl called Fu Mei, whose real name was Xuan Mingfu, turned around and said with a smile. This girl was also very beautiful, no less so than Jiang Yunmeng and the other girl. In fact, her smile seemed even more enchanting than theirs.
"Haha! If Fu Mei likes it so much, I'll get it for you." Hong Ge said with a laugh. Although those people were indeed students of the Martial God Academy, the Martial God Academy wouldn't bother with such a trivial matter. What prestige was there in not being able to keep a pet?
"Ah! If Young Master Hong likes it, I won't contend for it anymore..." The beautiful woman also said with a faint smile when she heard this. That Young Master Hong's name was Tang Piaohong, and she couldn't afford to offend his background.
"Brother Tian Si! Can you give that pet to Fu Mei? After all, it's not very appropriate for a man like you to carry a pet." Tang Piaohong shouted at Yu Tianjun, his voice filled with an air of superiority. It seemed he came from no small power.
"Haha..." Sha Antian, who was on the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing, clutching his stomach. This script seemed familiar. Just yesterday, Wan Jingshen had also spoken to Yu Tianjun with this kind of attitude, even demanding Xiao Yun. But what about now? Wasn't he obediently listening to Yu Tianjun?
Wan Jingshen and the other two also smirked. Were these people really looking for trouble?
"Your goal is Xiao Yun?" Yu Tianjun looked up and asked Tang Piaohong strangely. These people wanting Xiao Yun was just a recent development. Their purpose in coming here wasn't that.
"Ha, is it called Xiao Yun?" Tang Piaohong didn't pay attention to Yu Tianjun's question. "I am Tang Piaohong, and my grandfather is Tang Qingyun. Consider this elixir as compensation for you." He threw a jade bottle towards Yu Tianjun as if tossing something to a beggar.
"..." Sha Antian reached out and caught it, frowning as he looked at Tang Piaohong. That guy had quite a background.
"High-grade Reversion Pill." Sha Antian looked at the elixir and said coldly. This elixir was only effective for the Earth Core Realm, and its value was over a thousand mid-grade spirit stones. It wasn't anything rare.
"Tang Qingyun..." Wan Jingshen and the other two also frowned. That guy was indeed not simple.
"Why do I care who you are? I care even less who your grandfather is!" Yu Tianjun looked at him and said indifferently. "As for Xiao Yun, I'm sorry, it's my friend and cannot be exchanged. Miss Fu, please forgive me, there are many pets that look even cuter than Xiao Yun." He glanced at the one called Fu Mei.
"Hmph! Even if you don't want to, you must give it. Otherwise, you will regret it. I will make every step of your future cultivation extremely difficult..." Tang Piaohong frowned and threatened.
"Another scion of a powerful family? What kind of trash is Tang Qingyun? To raise a grandson like you, he can't be that powerful, can he?" Yu Tianjun said with a cold, angry laugh. He didn't know why, but he was particularly allergic to such people, those who relied on the prestige of their elders to act wantonly, believing themselves to be number one under heaven.
"You... you dare to insult Grandmaster Tang?" The beautiful woman standing next to Yu Tianjun said in shock. If this news spread, which power would dare to harbor him? Even if his family was powerful, they might not tolerate him. Of course, in the beautiful woman's eyes, a 'great family' was merely one with a Saint Ancestor-level expert presiding over it. Tang Qingyun could only influence many families without Saint Ancestor-level experts.
"You..." Tang Piaohong was stunned, then laughed in anger. "Haha! Good! Very good! You dare to insult my grandfather? I'd like to see how you can survive! Now, even if you give that little beast to me, you will undoubtedly die! Don't even think about your family surviving!" He said, his face full of murderous intent.
"Audacious madman, how dare you slander Grandmaster Tang? Today, I will capture you and bring you to him for interrogation." Xuan Yunyi immediately moved to apprehend Yu Tianjun, then suddenly reconsidered. He couldn't afford to offend the Martial God Academy.
"Haha, you even threaten my family?" Yu Tianjun suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly.
"Fourth Master Xuan, if you help me capture this madman, I will tell my grandfather about this when I return," Tang Piaohong said indifferently from behind.
"Ah... but the Martial God Academy..." He was a bit troubled. Caught between two monsters, his Xuan family didn't dare to utter a sound.
"Just capture that madman. I believe the Martial God Academy won't interfere," Tang Piaohong said. "Moreover, for the sake of a mere Heaven Core Realm student, I believe the Martial God Academy won't do anything to us. Grandfather is about to be officially appointed as an Elder of the Pill Association. At that time, the Martial God Academy should reconsider anything they plan to do." He said with confidence.
"Ha! Good! I'll capture him!" Xuan Yunyi's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Young man, surrender and be bound! I'll spare your life. Otherwise, if I have to make a move, you might not survive." He said to Yu Tianjun.
"Your Excellency! You should reconsider! Do you want to be an enemy of my Martial God Academy?" Yuan Xihe stepped forward, releasing his aura. Late-stage first-level God Realm! Although his cultivation was slightly inferior to Xuan Yunyi's, they weren't afraid if these people attacked. Even without Yu Tianjun making a move, he was confident they could easily defeat these people. Sha Antian was even more domineering than him.
"Oh! Tang Qingyun really has such great power? The Pill Association?" Yu Tianjun heard this for the first time and couldn't help but ask Sha Antian and the others. That old fellow wasn't even an official elder yet, and he was already so arrogant. That Pill Association seemed quite impressive. He would have to check it out later.
"Huh! He's a Pill Master who only started gaining fame over fifty years ago. I heard he's almost a God Venerable-level Pill Master, very powerful!" Sha Antian said indifferently. "However, he's not yet truly terrifying. It's just that he's the son-in-law of the Vice President of the Pill Association. That Tang Piaohong might be the Vice President of the Pill Association's grand-disciple. That old fellow is the one people truly fear."
"Huh?" Wan Jingshen and the other two looked at Sha Amian with surprise. They only knew that Tang Qingyun was a quasi-elder of the Pill Association, which was already terrifying enough. Not many people in the Martial God Academy wanted to oppose him, yet Sha Amian said he wasn't worth fearing. As for the Vice President of the Pill Association... Even a Martial God would have to show him some respect. Of course, it wasn't out of fear, but simply giving face. After all, the Pill Association mainly dealt in medicinal pills and had extensive connections.
"Haha, not even a Divine Venerable-level alchemist yet? I thought he was a Saint-level alchemist." Yu Tianjun was slightly stunned upon hearing this. He had heard such boastful words. "The Pill Association? If they knew there were a few rotten worms like you, they might not keep you." He turned to look at Tang Piaohong and said with a faint smile.
"..." Sha Amian and the other four were also stunned. What did Yu Tianjun consider a Saint Ancestor-level alchemist? Even among the Super-level forces, it was rare to find one or two Saint-level alchemists. The powerful Pill Association only had three Saint-level alchemists, and in the entire vast Human Race, there were only about thirty Saint-level alchemists. They were all like divine dragons, seen only by their heads and not their tails. Yu Tianjun didn't seem to care much.
"Boasting shamelessly! Do you know what a Divine Venerable-level alchemist means? How could you possibly understand?" Tang Piaohong said, his face purple with rage. He had realized that the outcome of a fight here was uncertain, and they had other matters to attend to. Staying here would accomplish nothing. "Hmph! I hope you can survive and return. Then we'll see if the Martial God Academy will stand up for you!" Tang Piaohong snorted coldly.
"I'd like to see if your Tang family dares to touch my Wu family." Suddenly, a cold, clear voice rang out. Wu Qingqing had woken up after finishing her absorption. She knew that Yu Tianjun's strength was not false, and even his family was not weak, but she wasn't entirely sure. That Tang Qingyun held a high position in the Pill Association. If he could pressure the Pill Association, Yu Tianjun might face considerable trouble.
"Haha! Count my Jiang family in! Does that old ghost Tang Qingyun's grandson dare to shout in front of this young lady?" Jiang Yunmeng also woke up and said with a smile. "Big sister will protect you." She turned to Yu Tianjun and winked.
"The Wu family? The Jiang family? Hmph! Do you think saying so makes it true?" Tang Piaohong said with a cold, disbelieving laugh. "Kid! We'll meet again later..." He turned to Yu Tianjun and said coldly. That guy dared to disrespect him in front of so many people and even insulted his grandfather. He had to die for Tang Piaohong to feel at ease.
Seeing Tang Piaohong turn and leave, the beautiful woman and Xuan Sijia also turned to follow. Before leaving, they glanced at Yu Tianjun and his group. That guy named Tian Si was undoubtedly going to die.
"Hey! When did I say you could leave?" Yu Tianjun suddenly looked up. "Kill that Divine Lord-level expert of the second stage, and chop off one arm of that idiot. Then we'll see who that old fool Tang Qingyun is." He rubbed Xiao Yun's head.
"Okay!" "Whoosh!" Xiao Yun immediately jumped towards the group obediently. It hadn't been able to act out earlier, but now that its big brother had given permission, it immediately did so.
"Haha, you little brat..." Tang Piaohong sneered upon hearing this, but as soon as he turned his head, a gush of blood sprayed directly onto his face. Then, he witnessed a scene he would never forget in his life.
Xiao Yun had already chopped off Fourth Master Xuan's head before he could even react. Fourth Master Xuan only saw a white blur rush towards him before his vision blurred and then went completely dark. Even in death, he didn't know why he had died. Xiao Yun stood on Fourth Master Xuan's corpse, its eyes narrowed as it looked at Tang Piaohong, calculating which arm to sever. Involuntarily, it then looked at Yu Tianjun, chattering wildly.
"You... Ah! Fourth Uncle..." Fu Mei screamed in terror as she saw Fourth Uncle's head, eyes still wide open, fall to the ground. How could he be dead? That little beast looked adorable, yet it was like a demon, so easily taking her Fourth Uncle's life. If she had known this earlier, even with a hundred more guts, she wouldn't have dared to demand it.
"You dare..." Tang Piaohong looked at Yu Tianjun, speaking in fear, but before he could finish, a faint voice, which sounded like a demon's voice to him, spoke.
"The left one..." The voice echoed, and Xiao Yun vanished. He felt a chilling sensation on his left shoulder!
