“That's right, following Holy Son Murong Tian, enjoying the good life without the hard work.” Another man sneered.
“Haha, who doesn’t know that Murong Tian is a playboy? Ladies, our Holy Son Fu Zixi is a veteran of Tian Gong, an extraordinary figure, and has great admiration for you three. Knowing that Murong Tian is forcing you, he specially sent us to protect you. If you trust us, you can come with us to the Holy Son's peak. The Holy Son guarantees that when you arrive at his cave, no one will force you.”
On another side, a young man with long black hair, a tall figure, and sharp eyes like a heavenly sword spoke loudly.
“Xu Zihang, are you trying to sabotage us? Such audacity! Haven't you learned enough from our Holy Son Murong Tian’s lessons?” The man wearing a feather crown said coldly.
“Haha, lessons not enough? A newly risen Holy Son who has been around for less than a thousand years dares to be so arrogant. Do you really think our Holy Son Fu Zixi will fear your Murong Tian? You probably don’t even know how powerful Fu Zixi is.”
The tall man retorted, both sides filled with killing intent and hostility.
These two groups were disciples under Murong Tian and Fu Zixi.
Though there was strong animosity between them, both sides were holding back and did not engage in combat. Everyone knew that Murong Tian and Fu Zixi had clashed not long ago, and both were evenly matched—one an established Holy Son, the other an extraordinary figure among the newly risen Holy Sons. Until a clear victor emerged from their higher-ups, neither side would rashly engage. This was the survival instinct of their subordinates.
Their goal was to persuade the three women from Yunzhou to offer themselves to their Holy Son.
“Scram, all of you! What Holy Son Murong Tian, what Holy Son Fu Zixi? The ladies don’t fancy you at all. We are from the Dust Truth Pavilion and have already pledged loyalty. You might as well give up and get lost.”
A cold voice echoed from inside the cave, clear and melodious, even amidst anger, it held a captivating charm.
“Hahaha, Dust Truth Pavilion? We have already looked into it; that’s just a small force in Yunzhou. When you arrive at Guanghan Mansion, don’t you know that forces like yours are nothing but weeds, easily crushed?”
“That’s right, and we also found out that you seem to have some connections with the Wangu Building in Yunzhou. Not to mention, this is Tian Gong. Don’t think that just because you’re related to a branch of the Wangu Building, that they would offend Holy Son Murong Tian for you.”
Several core disciples laughed coldly.
The Holy Son was the future successor of Tian Gong. Once outside, even the top forces of Guanghan Mansion had to be courteous to them, and naturally, they had that confidence.
“You… this cave was assigned by Tian Gong. You’re surrounding our cave and obstructing our cultivation. Don’t you fear the elders’ punishment of the Martial Department?”
A furious shout came from inside the cave again.
“Hahaha, elder punishment? Ladies, I fear you do not understand your situation. Do you know why you were assigned to the cave at Jiuyang Shenxuan Mountain? This is one of the top caves for disciples of the Martial Department. If it weren't for Holy Son Murong Tian persuading the elders of the assignment hall, do you think just the three of you could have been assigned to this cave?”
“To tell you the truth, even the elders in the Martial Department would not dare to offend Holy Son Murong Tian, let alone have an elder willing to stand up for you.”
“I see it’s best that you do not resist anymore. Many female disciples in the Martial Department have already sided with Holy Son Murong Tian. Now that we are out in the world, who does not respect him? When the stars gather around the moon, it is an honor for you that Holy Son Murong Tian looks at you; do not bite the hand that feeds you.”
The core disciples continued to mock, seeing that the three inside had not responded, they grew tired of the pretense and coldly said, “We’ll give you half an incensed time. If you don’t come out, don’t blame us for being rude and forcing our way in. This cave is seized by Holy Son Murong Tian, and if we break in, even the elders will have nothing to say.”
