When the unceasing waves of energy had subsided and ceased las.h.i.+ng, Xiang Yun was dazed for a long time. He slowly turned his head and looked at his already swollen left b.u.t.tocks. With a trembling hand, he wiped away the bitter tears at the corner of his eyes!

Good man! He should have been able to travel the world with his sword everywhere, but today, he had been pressed down on a table and beaten to death, half his b.u.t.tocks unconscious. A feeling of depression, shame, helplessness, and all sorts of complicated feelings filled Xiang Yun's heart!

The thug, who was committing murder at the side, let out a satisfied chuckle under his black veil. "I shall give you a small punishment today. If you don't make amends in the future, you will be severely punished!"

There was no helping it, the numbness had already subsided, and he felt a burning, heart-wrenching pain on his b.u.t.t instead!

"Minor Punishment Commandment!"

Unfortunately, she didn't even need to move her fingers to kill him.

Xiang Yun finally stood on the ground with great difficulty. Just as he was about to bid farewell to the girl in black, the woman said indifferently, "Sit here for now. I'll have to ask you later."

Hearing the word 'sit', Xiang Yun almost cursed out loud. 'F * ck you!' It was already pretty good for this father to be able to stand up. If I sat down, that would take away my life.

"What? You still dare to be dissatisfied?" The woman glanced coldly at Xiang Yun!

This woman was vicious and merciless. How could he dare to refute her? Xiang Yun shook his head repeatedly. At this moment, he still had to squeeze out another one, a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Hmph, it's good that you know." The woman snorted and sat back down on the bench.

"Hu!"

Xiang Yun sucked in a deep breath, glancing at the woman's full, graceful figure and her long, eye-catching legs. He couldn't help but secretly swear in his heart.

"Revenge is a gentleman's thing! Ten years is not too late, you wicked woman, just you wait! I swear that in the future, I will definitely 'slap' you back, or else I won't have the 'Xiang' surname!"

Just as Xiang Yun was swearing an oath at the girl's graceful body, the woman suddenly raised her head and stared coldly at Xiang Yun. Xiang Yun was so frightened that he immediately broke out into a brilliant smile. "Senior, I … I didn't say anything about you … don't …"

Xiang Yun had thought that his thoughts had also been seen through by this woman. He was scared speechless, afraid that this woman would do something violent to him again.

However, before Xiang Yun could finish speaking, an old and ice-cold voice rang out from behind him.

"Young man, you've stopped me."

"Huh?"

Xiang Yun suddenly turned his head and saw an old woman wearing a plain robe. Her figure was bent, and her face was haggard. She held a s.h.i.+ny black wooden staff in her hand as she silently sat on the bench behind him.

Xiang Yun turned his head, only to see such a strange old woman appear. He subconsciously took a step back, but his back trembled as if he had struck something. Xiang Yun hurriedly turned around!

Behind him, an old man about nine feet tall and as strong as a bear had suddenly appeared. He had nine thick iron hoops on his hands.

Although the old man's hair had turned white, he still had an imposing manner and his eyes were bright and lively. In between his breath, there were actually two white rainbows moving between his mouth and nose!

"This …"

Xiang Yun was somewhat dumbfounded. How could he not know when these two had appeared?

Xiang Yun had no time to speak at all. The black-clothed woman waved her hand, and he entered a vast, white world. He was completely unaware, and could no longer hear anything.

Everything was like a dream. After a long time, Xiang Yun finally returned to the real world from this white world.

At this moment, the guests on the second floor of the pavilion in the backyard of the Mighty Phoenix Restaurant had already returned to their normal state. They were drinking and chatting while calling out to their attendants for more food and wine.

Xiang Yun looked at all of this in shock, as if everything that had happened before was just an illusion. However, when he saw the black-clothed woman quietly sitting beside him, as well as the burning pain coming from her b.u.t.tocks, he understood that everything was real.

"Sit down." The woman said indifferently.

"Err … I think it's better that I don't sit."

"You clearly have the chance to escape today, why didn't you leave?"

Xiang Yun was stunned for a moment before replying in his heart, "As the City Lord of Qin Feng, I was the one who saved them. Since the people in the pavilion are all innocent, I naturally want to save them."

"Hmph, with just you? Or do you think that the laws of this world can restrain them? " The woman did not hide her disdain.

"I know that they will not listen to my reasoning because my fist is not strong enough to make them take my reasoning seriously. But, sooner or later, I will make them listen to my reasoning, the reason for my Qin Feng City!"

Xiang Yun's expression turned a little cold, and his gaze turned slightly cold.

"Hehe, boy, your tone is quite arrogant, but it's still a bit whimsical. These people are all outstanding disciples of various great sects. I'm afraid it's hard for you to imagine just how talented they are in cultivation."

"Even if you were lucky enough to be able to catch up to them, they still have colossus like the sect, as well as tens of thousands of years of deep history. What right do you have to reason with them just because of your hot-bloodedness?"

The woman's voice was cold and filled with ridicule!

Xiang Yun replied very calmly, "My grandfather once said to me, 'As long as your opponent is not a G.o.d, then you can defeat him!" Why can't I defeat them? I have my own path to walk on.

"It's not impossible to reach the top of a mountain!"

The woman, who had been apathetic the entire time, was touched by these words. She lifted her head to look at Xiang Yun, her eyes revealing a hint of surprise. She naturally had not expected this kid to say such words.

However, the woman coldly replied, "Hmph, easier said than done. If you truly have such ambitions, then take them out. Or else, there will always be a few people who will look down on you and the world from a higher vantage point in the future."

After saying this, the black-clothed woman in front of Xiang Yun actually began to fade away. In the end, she had completely disappeared from Xiang Yun's sight!

"Xiang Yun, the road ahead is difficult. You better take care of yourself." The last sentence of the woman came from within the pot.

Looking at the empty bench and the cup of tea that was still curling with smoke, Xiang Yun felt dejected. He frowned slightly, his expression a little gloomy.

After standing there for a long time, Xiang Yun finally grinned, his expression pained!

"Aiyo, the numbness has finally pa.s.sed. This backache can make my leg cramp. d.a.m.n it, I'm really unlucky. I better hurry back and apply some medicine!"

Muttering to himself, Xiang Yun limped out of the Phoenix Pavilion, ignoring the gazes of the pa.s.sersby as he made his way back to the crown prince's residence. After returning to his original appearance, Xiang Yun returned to his own room.

Xiang Yun grimaced in pain as he applied the medicine on himself. He could not help but inwardly scold, "How could I have been so unlucky for eight lifetimes, to run into such a crazy woman. I didn't provoke her, I didn't provoke her, and yet she's so ruthless. Don't let me meet you again, otherwise I'll definitely deal with you!"

Xiang Yun applied medicine to himself, then used the Karmic Creation Art to heal his injuries. Two hours later, the burning sensation on Xiang Yun's b.u.t.tocks finally began to recover slightly. However, it was still swollen to a high degree.

That night, Xiang Yun lay p.r.o.ne on his bed. He did not circulate his Turtle Resting Technique into the Breath stage, but rather, fell into a period of insomnia. Of course, it was not because he was in pain and was unable to sleep, but rather, he was constantly reminiscing about what had happened to those people he had met tonight!

He felt a kind of anger that came from the bottom of his heart!

Today in front of the black-clothed woman, Xiang Yun did not display this sort of anger. Xiang Yun knew very well that this was anger towards the word 'disregard'!

Whether it was Wei Tian, Yao Hao Cang, Chu Yang, JianEr, or the woman with the illusionary sound, or the expert who was secretly attacking them, they were clearly separated on the surface by the two factions of good and evil.

In other words, it was a disregard for the weak!

In their eyes, their world was on the mountain, in the clouds. The people they could look at were the people on the mountain, and to them, these commoners were no different from a tree, a blade of gra.s.s, or even a stone.

Even if it was the seemingly simple and honest Chu Yang, Jian Er who came to take revenge for his junior apprentice brother, or the heroic Yao Haodong, they were all the same because they didn't agree with the world below the mountain. From their very bones, they felt that these were two different worlds that caused them to disregard them!

Xiang Yun believed that if the girl in black had not taken action today, this battle would have turned the world upside down. The entire Phoenix Pavilion would have been razed to the ground, and everyone would have perished, with the consequences even greater!

However, after the battle, those people would leave without a care. Thinking back, they only felt that the death of a few ants in such a grand battle was just icing on the cake.

These people would naturally look down on him. It was as if they were living in a higher world and weren't breathing the same air. This was something that he didn't like.

When he arrived in this world, Xiang Yun immediately changed, becoming a high and mighty Crown Prince. He had originally thought that with his rules and power, he would be able to speak up for this world and say 'no', but today, he realized that his power was far from enough!

The power of the mountain and the might of the sects was what the people on the mountain relied on. They habitually lowered their heads to look at the world.

"Since you guys are the pride of the world on the mountain, then I will stand at a higher place on the mountain and knock you down one by one. I will let you know that you guys are the same as the people at the foot of the mountain, looking up to the heavens, and I will be your G.o.d!"
