60Chapter 60: Internal strife in the Tang Clan, Ice dances in the sky
In the room where Tang Wulin was, the next second after the dragon's might dissipated, several powerful auras rushed towards him from all directions like sharks smelling blood.
The commotion tonight was too loud. The pressure from the god level and the dragon king level collided, like a beacon in the dark night, instantly alarming all the strong men stationed nearby.
The first two figures to arrive were.
Wu Changkong and Long Bing.
"Wulin!" Wu Changkong's pupils shrank suddenly when he saw the destroyed door and the fallen Tang Wulin, and his figure flashed into the room like lightning.
He quickly squatted down, placed his fingers on Tang Wulin's wrist, and a stream of pure ice-attribute soul power penetrated into his body.
Long Bing stood guard at the door vigilantly, his eyes scanning the mess inside and outside the room, as well as the two completely different, terrifying traces of coercion that lingered in the air, making his heart flutter.
"How is it?" Long Bing's voice was filled with a subtle nervousness.
The commotion was too loud, and the murderer's cultivation must be higher than hers and Wu Changkong's.
It would be a lie to say I'm not nervous.
Wu Zhangkong's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly:
"His soul power surged, his qi and blood churned, and his meridians were slightly injured, but his life was not in danger. It seemed that an extremely overbearing force forcibly impacted his original bloodline, causing him to fall into a coma. That power was terrifying, and the remaining aura..."
A trace of deep fear and confusion flashed in his eyes.
"Like a dragon, but superior to any dragon I know."
He quickly took out a pill that exuded a cool scent and stuffed it into Tang Wulin's mouth to help him stabilize his disordered breath.
At this moment, Wu Zhangkong suddenly raised his head, his eyes shooting towards the ceiling like icy cones.
"There's someone upstairs."
He growled. At that moment, he clearly sensed a powerful wave of soul power coming from the direction of Lu Jun's room upstairs.
"Leave this to you. I'll go see what's going on upstairs."
Wu Zhangkong didn't hesitate at all. He threw a word to Long Bing and his figure turned into a cold stream of light. It instantly broke through the broken window and shot straight upstairs.
Meanwhile, on the top floor.
The evening breeze was blowing with a cool breeze. Lu Jun had just stabilized his soul power at level 34 and was closing his eyes to feel the power surging in his body and the increasingly condensed sword intent.
Suddenly, an extremely oppressive soul power fluctuation came without warning.
A figure appeared outside the balcony railing like a ghost, silently.
He was a middle-aged man with ordinary appearance but eyes as sharp as a hawk. He was wearing a dark blue suit with an ancient "Tang" emblem embroidered on his chest.
At Bingdi's reminder, Lu Jun slowly opened his eyes and looked outside the balcony.
"Oh? You discovered me so quickly, you really are not simple."
He stared at Lu Jun with burning eyes, with a condescending scrutiny and unquestionable majesty.
"Mr. Lu."
Lu Jun didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.
There's no end to these people.
Don't they know that there is a master protecting them or what?
He kept coming to the door to offer his life.
If you want to send it, just press send.
Is this because they are sure that the Spirit Pagoda won't dare to do anything to the Tang Sect, so they are so arrogant?
According to the fact that Lu Jun has been in the Spirit Pagoda for so many years, the Spirit Pagoda is now very low-key. How can it be as high-profile as in the original book?
But it was precisely because of its low profile that Lu Jun felt that the Spirit Pagoda's strength and foundation were simply unfathomable.
It is estimated that 90% of the powerful people of the Holy Spirit Sect in the original novel have joined the current Spirit Pagoda, and the overall strength is definitely above that of Shrek and Tang Sect.
It's because the Spirit Pagoda is too powerful now, so it keeps a low profile, right?
Otherwise, we will be excluded by all forces together.
It's like Shrek got blown up.
"Mr. Lu." The middle-aged man spoke with a sense of oppression from someone who had long been in a superior position. "I am from the Tang Sect."
Lu Jun did not respond.
The middle-aged man seemed a little surprised by his calmness, but he didn't care and continued to speak:
"Your talent, your martial spirit, and your performance today are all top-notch. My Tang Sect has always valued talent."
He raised his chin slightly:
"We sincerely wish to recruit you into our Tang Sect. What do you think? The Tang Sect's resources and heritage far surpass those of the Spirit Pagoda. They are enough to allow you to truly reach the pinnacle, and even cultivate you to the realm of a god."
"You know, our Tang Sect gave birth to a true god, our ancestor Tang San."
There was no fluctuation in Lu Jun's eyes, not even a ripple.
He opened his thin lips slightly and uttered three cold words:
"Not interested."
It's decisive and there's no room for maneuver.
The middle-aged man's face darkened instantly.
He obviously didn't expect that a mere Soul Master would dare to refuse so bluntly after learning that the Tang Sect was recruiting him.
"H-Have you never heard of the legend of the Tang Sect?"
"I've heard of it, what's the matter?" Lu Jun didn't even raise his head.
"Then you should know that our Tang Sect was founded by our ancestor Tang San himself." The middle-aged man continued.
"Then what?"
The middle-aged man was stunned, and continued to coax Lu Jun, promising Lu Jun many good benefits.
This gave Lu Jun a headache.
If the hard approach doesn't work, try the soft approach?
Besides, what's the point of having more benefits?
If he really agreed to join the Tang Sect with the other party, Tang San would probably eat him up without leaving a bone.
It's really terrible.
However, the master hasn't taken any action to drive him away yet. Maybe she is testing me?
See if he will be seduced by the Tang Sect's conditions and test his loyalty to the Spirit Pagoda?
Nun, you guys are thinking too much. With the conditions of the Tang Sect and the black magic cast by the Tang Buddha, I would never go there even if I die.
I am only loyal to the current Spirit Pagoda!
Loyalty is overflowing.
After a long time, the persuasion was still fruitless. The middle-aged man was completely enraged by Lu Jun's attitude:
"Boy, don't be ungrateful. The Tang Sect personally came to recruit you, which shows that they think highly of you. You should know that this is an opportunity that many people would only dream of."
"What the Spirit Pagoda can give you, the Tang Sect can give you ten times! A hundred times! Joining the Tang Sect is the greatest opportunity of your life!"
He tried to sway Lu Jun with temptation and pressure.
However, Lu Jun only slightly turned his head and cast his gaze towards the night outside the balcony, as if the Tang Sect Titled Douluo in front of him was just a piece of air that was an eyesore. His tone was indifferent without a trace of worldly air:
"Are you done? You can leave now."
Bro has really been overdosed by Tangmen's PUA.
Look, another crazy person appears.
This blatant disregard completely ignited the middle-aged man's anger.
"Alright!" The middle-aged man laughed in anger. "Since you don't want to drink my toast, don't blame me for using force. Sorry, kid, don't blame me for being too harsh afterwards."
Before he finished speaking, his soul power exploded, and a powerful and terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire balcony.
Four purple and five black spirit rings suddenly rose from under his feet.
The Ice Emperor in Lu Jun's body also changed his expression immediately:
"This shameless human being makes me furious. How about I come out and tear him apart?"
"Don't show up, otherwise it will cause trouble." Lu Jun thought to himself.
The pressure from a Titled Douluo was like a tangible hammer, smashing down heavily on Lu Jun.
He wanted to crush this ungrateful boy with his absolute strength and forcibly take him away.
At this moment, an ice-blue sword light, carrying a bitingly cold sword intent, came from the side without any warning.
The sword light slashed with incredible precision on the middle-aged man's invisible soul power hand that was grabbing Lu Jun.
"Shh."
The frost spread instantly, freezing and shattering the violent soul power.
"Sky Frost Sword?"
The middle-aged man recognized what the sword was at the first moment.
Wu Changkong appeared in front of Lu Jun, holding the Tianshuang Sword with the tip of the sword pointing diagonally at the ground, and his long hair fluttered in the wind under the pressure of the Titled Douluo.
His soul power was also surging all over his body, with eight soul rings, four purple and four black, shining brightly. In addition, a set of gorgeous three-word battle armor, which was ice blue and engraved with intricate snowflakes and sword patterns, instantly covered his entire body, pushing his already cold aura to the peak.
Seeing Wu Changkong protecting him behind him, Lu Jun was also stunned.
He originally thought that it would be his master's wife who would take action, but he never expected that the one who took action would be Wu Changkong?
The middle-aged man fixed his gaze on Wu Zhangkong. A flash of surprise flashed across his eyes, then turned into cold anger.
"Little Changkong of the East Sea, what do you mean? How dare you stop me from carrying out important tasks for the Tang Sect? Are you really betraying the Tang Sect as the rumors say?"
Wu Zhangkong's face was as cold as frost. He raised the Sky Frost Sword slightly and pointed it at the middle-aged man. His voice was as cold as ten thousand years of black ice, and it echoed clearly on the balcony filled with the smell of gunpowder:
"I have never betrayed the Tang Sect. I just can't stand your actions."
"Kidnap others, coercion, and bullying. Which of the Tang Sect's rules does this comply with?"
"Rules?" The middle-aged man seemed to have heard a huge joke. "You've been with the daughter of a high-ranking official in the Spirit Pagoda for too long. I'm sure you've forgotten the current rules set by the Tang Sect, right?"
"The Tang Sect is determined to summon Lu Jun back to the sect at all costs. For the future of the Tang Sect, what does a few tricks mean?"
"No matter how despicable the means, as long as it can contribute to the future of the Tang Sect, it will be worth it."
