C669 The Maniac

"Alright, it's okay now. Go wait over there for a bit," Woo Zhengyang gently patted Ruyan's back as he spoke.

Ruyan had just seen Woo Zhengyang, and all her pent-up emotions burst forth. After a moment of sobbing, she realized she had lost her composure. Hearing Woo Zhengyang's words, she nodded and obediently moved to the side.

"Yuu Xiaokun, do you have anything to explain? They came from the direction of your Heavenly Martial Sect, didn't they?"

"Hmph, if you're looking to blame someone, you'll find any excuse. Woo Zhengyang, you're quite skilled at diversion tactics. It seems you've gone to great lengths to slander our Heavenly Martial Sect." At this point, Yuu Xiaokun would never admit that the people were rescued from their sect.

"If I hadn't used diversion, wouldn't you have used my uncle and cousin to threaten me?"

"Threaten? Do you think our esteemed Heavenly Martial Sect needs to resort to threats to deal with you? Even if you've somehow found a Martial King, so what? Don't forget, the foundation of our Heavenly Martial Sect is far more than just having a Martial King in charge!"

Yuu Xiaokun spoke with righteous indignation, appearing calm and composed. However, anyone paying close attention could sense that Yuu Xiaokun was somewhat afraid. The foundation of their Heavenly Martial Sect was indeed not as simple as just having a Martial King; even an ordinary Martial King might easily offend a sect.

But don't forget, that stunning woman who appeared out of nowhere has already taken a stroll through your Heavenly Martial Sect. Whether or not she rescued anyone, she did leave with two people, right?

She walked around with people in tow—how much is your Heavenly Martial Sect's reputation really worth now?

On that stroll, she took Woo Zhengyang's relatives. Next time, she might just take someone from your Heavenly Martial Sect, maybe even you, Yuu Xiaokun, or Lei Yuetian...

Of course, now more people are focused not on the Heavenly Martial Sect folks, but on that suddenly appearing woman in red.

She was breathtaking.

Many people have lived their entire lives without seeing such an alluring and beautiful woman.

The main thing is, this stunning woman is a martial king, a powerful one at that!

"Is she one of those four legendary beauties? Truly a peerless face!"

"No, no, she's not one of the four. I happened to be at the Profound Heaven Sect back then and was lucky enough to see the four beauties. They were like ethereal beings, untouched by the world. This young lady, while incredibly beautiful, is more dazzling and seductive, completely different."

"Could she be that mysterious princess? I remember the four beauties were just her handmaidens."

"No way, if she's the princess, she's beautiful but a bit too flamboyant. I still prefer the four legendary beauties."

"The essence of a woman is to be charming to her man, right? A goddess might be beautiful, but if she doesn't understand romance, she can be a bit dull!"

"Get lost, you don't know a thing. The charm should be reserved for home... No, I mean, it's about being alluring..."

"Alright, are you all deaf? Didn't you hear this woman call Woo Zhengyang her master? And generally, women don't dress like this. If I'm not mistaken, she might be a creature from the mystical realm, Woo Zhengyang's companion."

"What? A mystical creature? A companion? No way! Even if she's from the mystical realm, she's of a high rank, serving as Woo Zhengyang's companion?"

"Same thing, if it were anyone else, I wouldn't believe it. But if it's Woo Zhengyang, I have no doubts!" The young man spoke with a hint of admiration.

Someone overheard and thought the tone sounded familiar. During the siege, it seemed like this person was speaking too. Looks like he's a fan of Woo Zhengyang!

Woo Zhengyang wasn't aware that he had gained a fervent admirer. He took out the Resonance Pearl and began studying the Heavenly Martial Realm.

Now that the person was rescued, he wasn't in a rush anymore and had no interest in exchanging barbs with Yuu Xiaokun and the others.

Besides, Woo Zhengyang preferred to strike when the time was right. Since the Heavenly Martial Sect was just standing by, he wouldn't waste the opportunity.

"Woo Zhengyang, what are you doing?"

Seeing Woo Zhengyang's actions, Yuu Xiaokun almost choked in disbelief, and everyone else was equally stunned. Both sides were on the brink of battle, and even if you have a Martial King by your side, you can't be this reckless!

Are you seriously thinking about studying the Heavenly Martial Realm right now? Are you already planning to claim your spoils?

"I'm not doing anything, just taking a look. Letting your Heavenly Martial Sect hang on a bit longer!" Woo Zhengyang said with an innocent face, though his tone was undeniably arrogant.

What do you mean by letting the Heavenly Martial Sect hang on a bit longer? Are you planning to wipe us out today?

If that woman in red launches a surprise attack, the Heavenly Martial Sect would be caught off guard, but wiping us out entirely is nearly impossible. Do you think only your Profound Heaven Sect has a mountain protecting array?

"You... don't think just because you have a demon king on your side, you can do whatever you want."

"Who told you that's my only trick? To take down your Heavenly Martial Sect, I don't even need her help. I can do it myself!"

"Such arrogance! If you're so confident, swear you won't let that demon woman intervene today!" Yuu Xiaokun seized the opportunity, quickly saying, secretly pleased. Anyone else might not be provoked, but this madman Woo Zhengyang might just agree for the sake of his pride.

"I gotta say, Yuu Xiaokun, you're the Sect Master of the Heavenly Martial Sect, and you've been around for decades. How can you still act like a kid playing house, making me swear and all..."

"You..."

Yuu Xiaokun was about to explode. How did his actions end up being compared to a child's game?

"If you're scared, just admit it. Woo Zhengyang, the Madman, is no different," Yuu Xiaokun said, suppressing his anger.

At this point, he couldn't care less about appearances and continued to provoke Woo Zhengyang. There was already talk outside that Woo Zhengyang was not only wild but had a sharp, venomous tongue. Anyone who crossed him might not end up in ruins, but they'd definitely lose face.

The three elders from the three sects of the Fallen Sun Country were prime examples of Woo Zhengyang's verbal victims. One of them was even so enraged by Woo Zhengyang that he spat blood on the spot.

Yuu Xiaokun had heard these stories before and didn't take them seriously. Now, he was experiencing it firsthand.

Whether the Heavenly Martial Sect won or lost this battle, his time as Sect Master was likely over...

"Scared? You're overthinking it. I'm just not interested in wasting time. I've said it before; I prefer to prove things with actions!"

Woo Zhengyang said, turning to Hongnu, "Make sure my uncle and cousin are safe."

"Yes, Master, Hongnu will follow your orders," Hongnu replied with a bow.

Woo Zhengyang nodded, turned back, and headed toward the direction of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Lau Ruyan, also known as Ruyan, gazed at the vast Heavenly Martial Realm. Woo Zhengyang, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Martial Sect, stood beside her. "The mountain protecting array of the Profound Heaven Sect is impressive," Ruyan remarked. "It's nothing compared to the three sects of Fallen Sun Country," Zhengyang replied. Hongnu, from the Fallen Sun Country, was notorious for her cunning.
