Inside the room, Wu Tianjun was pinching Mu Li's cheeks, making the little girl giggle incessantly.
“Big Brother, stop pinching me… Hey! Stop!” The girl was tired of playing.
“Haha, it’s been a long time since I had this much fun!” Wu Tianjun laughed merrily; truly, he hadn't had this much fun in ages.
“Aren’t you afraid of the Blood Wolf Gang?” Mu Xingshi was, after all, older than Mu Li, and he understood just how terrifying the Blood Wolf Gang was.
“Trust Young Master, you don’t understand him!” Lu Yunzheng, standing to the side, said with a smile. He was still reeling from Wu Tianjun’s methods. Young Master might be even more terrifying than that Peerless Demonic Lord he knew before.
“How do you know how terrifying the Blood Wolf Gang is? I heard they have quite a few immortals stationed there!” Mu Xingshi said gravely. He had once witnessed two “immortals” fighting, and they had casually destroyed a large area of houses and buildings. In reality, what he saw were just two Earth Core realm cultivators fighting!
“Haha, I’ll show you right now that this Blood Wolf Gang is nothing to be afraid of!” Wu Tianjun suddenly released Mu Li and looked outside, saying, “An Earth Core realm cultivator has arrived.”
“Who dares to lay a hand on my Blood Wolf Gang’s people! Get out here and face death!” As if in response to Wu Tianjun’s words, a loud shout echoed from outside, the voice immensely powerful.
“Why is it him…” Mu Xingshi trembled upon hearing the voice. This was the very immortal he had been fortunate enough to witness fighting before. “You should leave quickly, that person is very powerful…” He turned to Wu Tianjun and said urgently.
“Haha, you consider an Earth Core realm cultivator an immortal?” Wu Tianjun said with an amused smile. “You’ll soon see, he’s nothing more than a slightly larger ant!” Wu Tianjun said indifferently. To ordinary people, an Earth Core realm cultivator was already extremely powerful; a mere wave of their hand or kick of their foot could destroy many things. Yet, in his eyes, an Earth Core realm cultivator was only slightly stronger than an ordinary person. This was a matter of perspective from different heights.
“A larger ant…” Mu Xingshi trembled. That immortal was merely a larger ant; he probably didn’t even qualify as a small ant.
“No need for that expression! You’ll see later. For now, let’s go meet that ‘immortal’!” Wu Tianjun laughed as he watched Mu Xingshi’s face turn pale, then led the way out, holding Mu Li’s hand. Lu Yunzheng immediately followed.
“Wait for me…” Seeing this, Mu Xingshi hurriedly ran after them, heading outside.
“Who is it? Get out here now!” The Earth Core realm cultivator shouted again.
“So noisy? It’s me!” A young yet firm voice rang out. If it wasn’t Wu Tianjun, then who else could it be?
“Was it you, little brat, who injured him?” The Earth Core realm cultivator frowned when he saw Wu Tianjun, then pointed at the young man and asked Wu Tianjun. This brat was dressed quite nobly, but what was strange was that his face was too… beautiful! Women would probably be jealous of him. Could he be a young master from an inner-city aristocratic family?
“What if it was me? He dared to lay a hand on my subordinate, he deserved what he got!” Wu Tianjun said, his face not flushing and his heart not trembling.
"Hmph! No matter who you are, if you dare to touch my Blood Wolf Gang, you will pay a heavy price!" The Earth Core Realm cultivator snorted coldly. Even the aristocratic families of the inner city had to give them some face.
"Oh? What kind of price?" Wu Tianjun looked at him with a half-smile.
"Take a palm strike from me!" The Earth Core Realm cultivator seemed to have some reservations and did not dare to go too far. At the very least, he did not yet know Wu Tianjun's true depth, so he did not dare to make a lethal move.
"Ha, looks like you're scared! Scram!" Wu Tianjun was too lazy to even look at him. With a flick of his hand, the Earth Core Realm cultivator was sent flying by a slap, crashing through several houses before finally stopping.
"You..." That Earth Core Realm cultivator, after all, had some skill. Wu Tianjun had not intended to kill him, so he was only severely injured. He rose from the rubble, staring in shock at Wu Tianjun. What level of expert was this? Even their Gang Leader might not be as strong as him, and the Gang Leader was an early Heaven Core Realm expert with some renown in the city. How old was this kid? Yet he was at least a mid Heaven Core Realm expert. It seemed he was a successor from some super reclusive clan out gaining experience. He had never heard of anyone under twenty in the Heaven Core Realm within the Yan family's territory. He had kicked an iron plate; how unlucky!
"What's wrong..." Wu Tianjun looked at him. "Still not gone?!"
"Yes! This humble one will scram immediately!" the man said in a panic, leaving even faster than he had arrived, not daring to look back even once.
"Hey..." Mu Xingshi stared wide-eyed at the scene. That "immortal" was too weak, and what's more, he had no grace at all, running faster than a rat.
"Tsk..." Wu Tianjun chuckled. "This world is ruled by the strong. When you become powerful, no one will dare to bully you. Not only that, but you will even be able to redefine the rules of the world!" Wu Tianjun turned to Mu Xingshi and Lu Yunzheng. "Do you understand?" he emphasized.
"Many thanks for the Young Master's guidance! Yunzheng will never forget!" Lu Yunzheng said solemnly. He wanted to become as powerful as the Young Master one day, powerful enough to decide his own destiny.
"This..." Mu Xingshi looked at this youth, who was still a head shorter than him, yet whose words were shocking and outrageous. Redefine the rules of the world? What kind of ambition was that? "Are you sure you want to teach me cultivation?" Mu Xingshi asked Wu Tianjun, his voice trembling. If he followed this youth, one day he could become powerful, no one would dare bully him or his sister, and what's more, he could even find his unknown father and mother.
"Haha, of course. With you two siblings, that makes four. Find four more, and I'll teach you all at once!" Wu Tianjun said with a confident laugh.
"Good! I'll follow you!" Mu Xingshi's eyes gleamed when Wu Tianjun confirmed it.
"Good! From now on, you'll be called Lei Lingzi!" Wu Tianjun said with a smile, then looked at Mu Li. "And you'll be Mu Lingnu!"
"Lei Lingzi? Mu Lingnu?" Mu Xingshi mumbled, confused.
"Ugh! Afterwards, I'll let those old geezers teach you. I'm no good at teaching clueless newbies like you." Wu Tianjun was a bit exasperated. He was too lazy to instruct these guys who didn't even know the basics of cultivation. He would leave that torment to those old geezers, hehe!
"Let's go!" Having settled a few matters, Wu Tianjun swept the others up and soared into the sky, intending to leave.
"May I ask which Young Master has graced our Yan Si City with his presence?" A voice rang out, intending to stop Wu Tianjun from leaving.
"Are you sure you want to interfere?" Wu Tianjun said, looking into the distance.
"Not at all, I merely wished to inquire about your identity!" the voice rang out again.
"In that case, this Young Master is busy. I'm leaving!" Wu Tianjun didn't even turn back, stepping into the air and departing. Heaven Core Realm cultivators were already capable of flight, after all.
"You are far too arrogant," a cold voice rang out. A middle-aged man shot into the sky, intending to stop Wu Tianjun. He was also a fifth-level God-rank! This city on the Yan Family's planet must be quite powerful.
"Get back!" A voice echoed from the void, followed by a hand overflowing with dark energy that swatted down at the middle-aged God-rank. The one who struck was, of course, Mo Lian. He knew that Wu Tianjun was currently injured and unfit for combat.
BOOM!!! The fifth-level God-rank who had just shot into the sky was instantly slammed back down, his fate unknown, shattering a long section of the city wall. All the powerful cultivators in the city immediately fell silent.
"No need to kill him! Let's go!" Wu Tianjun glanced indifferently below. Beside him, the void opened, and Mo Lian appeared, sweeping the four of them away.
Only after they had been gone for a while did the people in the city dare to ascend into the sky. Soon, several God-ranks began to discuss the matter.
"What level of power did those cultivators possess?" one person asked gravely.
"At least God-Venerate realm mighty figures!" another offered a guess.
"That young man... I wonder which prominent family's descendant he is. His cultivation realm couldn't be discerned; it seems he possesses a treasure that conceals his cultivation. And to have a God-Venerate or higher-level expert protecting him... I'm afraid only a direct descendant of a Super Hidden Clan, one no weaker than the Twelve Super Forces, would have such protection," a sixth-level God-realm expert said solemnly. Such clans were rare in the starry sky, but they did exist. Furthermore, their true power was unknown to anyone, and even the Super Forces wouldn't dare to casually provoke them.
"Hmph! Old Yan was right; that young man is likely a monstrous super genius," a fourth-level God-rank sighed. "This starry sky is truly unfathomably deep."
"Alright! Disperse. It's fortunate that the mysterious young man didn't want to make a big deal out of it; otherwise, even our Yan Family's main branch wouldn't dare to interfere." This sixth-level God-rank elder turned out to be a member of the Yan Family. This was the sorrow of a prominent family; for the family's benefit, sometimes one had to sacrifice kin.
After he finished speaking, everyone dispersed, leaving only Old Yan.
"Fortunately, several mysterious mighty figures from the main branch intervened; otherwise, our Yan Family would have become a subordinate force of the Tai Cang Family! Sigh, I wonder if letting Ling'er follow them was a good idea?" This person was actually Shui Ling'er's grandfather.
