Chapter 1622 - 595: West Valley True Monarch_2

"What are you afraid of? Isn’t it because you fear that our disciples from Hidden Dragon Mountain, having just peered into the magic of the Kongming Mirror, might leak this skill to the Heavenly Dome?"

"Now, I, Xuanzi, bear even lighter guilt, he only wishes to learn the magical skills of Jade Capital, so what’s wrong with that?

You still stand high above, labeling us as ’enemies of the human world’ without distinguishing black from white."

Within Lotus Mountain, the mountain wind howled once more, and this time it sounded more like the cold laughter of a Heavenly God Level entity.

"The Human World Gods were born to guard the human world, but over the years, what have you protected?"

Yun Ziliang slapped his chest and said sternly, "I am the Great Heavenly Master Yun Ziliang of Hidden Dragon Mountain, and I am the first to refuse your tyranny."

"I am merely a Dragon Seeking Heavenly Master of Nine Incense Sticks, my words may be light, but I do not fear you. If you think I talk too much nonsense, then strike me down."

Yun Ziliang’s fury had already reached its peak.

Those Heavenly God Level withered words stirred Yun Ziliang’s memories of the massacre of his family once more.

He could hold it no longer and immediately spoke out,

His outburst this time was not only to vent for Zhou Xuan but also to challenge the Heavenly God Level on behalf of the former Hidden Dragon Mountain.

"God, what makes a God!?"

Yun Ziliang practically roared this phrase.

After roaring, his tone abruptly changed, and he began to mock those Heavenly God Level beings,

"The Human World Gods, claiming invincibility across the world, why don’t you dare come out and kill me when I scold you with such vulgar words?"

"Do you even fear someone like me, a mere Nine Sticks of Incense in the human world?"

Yun Ziliang’s words became increasingly sharp, saying: "In my opinion, you are scared, the Demon Slayer General of Jade Capital and the Sequencer are here, and you are afraid."

You fear being defeated, fear the Scattered Dao,

If you are so afraid of trouble, then what guardianship of the human world do you speak of? And on what grounds do you dare to warn my Xuanzi with such brazen words?

In my view, Xuanzi is braver than any of you Heavenly God Level."

The mountain wind within Lotus Mountain began to stir. This gust was not a "cold laugh" but "anger."

Those Heavenly God Level hidden within Lotus Mountain were angered by Yun Ziliang—a mere Nine Incense Sticks—daring to challenge them.

But indeed, they were afraid of the Zhu family father and daughter, the Sequencer, and that Tianchi Pill Master who had yet to act.

Because of this fear, the mountain wind did not dare to blow over the Lotus Temple, fearing that it would leave a weak spot for Zhu Zhenggang, who wielded the Silver Spear.

Thus, the place where the mountain wind howled was only within the deep mountains of Lotus Mountain.

"Well said, Lao Yun."

Zhou Xuan and Yun Ziliang were close old friends,

Now that Yun Ziliang came forward first to challenge the authority of the Heavenly God Level, how could Zhou Xuan let his old friend fight alone?

Zhou Xuan also rose into the air, standing beside Yun Ziliang, pointing his right index finger forward,

"Heavenly God Level, listen up, I am determined to learn the magical skills of White Jade Capital today,

If any of you are unconvinced, reveal yourself and come strike me down face to face,

Come on... come on!"

Zhou Xuan’s expression was extremely serious,

The howling of the mountain wind within Lotus Mountain noticeably diminished.

At this moment, Zhou Xuan was still under the "Shadow of Nuo Opera," and his power was also at a Heavenly God Level.

During this level of strength, the scene of him single-handedly fighting the Five Great Buddhist Slaves and the Ancient Buddha Mirror Image was clearly seen by those Heavenly God Level present,

The Heavenly God Level present really didn’t have the confidence to defeat the empowered Zhou Xuan one-on-one.

As for ganging up on him, ignoring the chivalric ethics?

If Heavenly God Level entities jointly besieged and killed a mere human-level Seven Incense Sticks, and if it was done openly, the reputation of Heavenly God Level in the human world would suffer immensely.

The Heavenly God Level originally rely on the wish power of the human world to exist, if humans no longer revered them, their power would rapidly decline.

For the Heavenly God Level, their reputation is a non-negotiable lifeline.

"No one dares to kill me? Then I shall kill you instead."

Zhou Xuan laughed coldly with his hands behind his back: "Among you Heavenly God Level, there was a deity, who, three hundred years ago, slaughtered thousands of disciples of the Hidden Dragon Mountain in Jingchuan Prefecture,

My old friend Yun Ziliang was left halfdead by that deity, having to linger on, hiding within a painting, for three hundred tormented years."

"Today, my old friend shall seek his revenge."

Zhou Xuan said forcefully: "You Heavenly God Level always talk about factions, using reasons like ’being enemies with the human world’ to coerce me,

I, Zhou Xuan, do not have such quirks, and I don’t even speak of right or wrong."

"Three hundred years ago, regardless of the reason that deity had for massacring Hidden Dragon Mountain,

Whether the Heavenly God was right or wrong,

Whether Hidden Dragon Mountain was right or wrong, I do not care,

I only care about one thing, that deity better roll out and, here at Lotus Mountain, face off with my old friend the Grand Heavenly Master Yun Ziliang, determining victory or death,

Roll out."

Zhou Xuan was unwilling to dispute whether the Heavenly God Level’s massacre was justified back in the day,

Yijing Country is in such disorder, disputes over right or wrong could last for three days and nights and remain unresolved,

Therefore, Zhou Xuan openly admitted—there are no rights or wrongs, only challenges, only true life-and-death battles, where the winner leaves, and the loser perishes.

The wind within Lotus Mountain had completely ceased,

Zhou Xuan’s challenge at this moment put the Heavenly God Level on high alert.

"I will say it once more, the Heavenly God Level responsible for the massacre of Hidden Dragon Mountain’s members three hundred years ago, roll out for me."

"You are a Heavenly God Level, you should at least have some dignity of your own. I, Zhou Xuan, am now offering you some dignity."
