851 Goddamn Busybodies (1/2)
Human beings had been social animals since ancient times. The existence of societies often represented the existence of standpoints. For example, you could be unique, but you couldn't take on a different standpoint.
If an old lady was getting bullied by a few punks and everyone was just watching at the side, then you wouldn't get into too much trouble for joining the bystanders and even sneering at the old lady.
However, if everyone was fighting against the punks and you chose to be an onlooker or even said something like 'You goddamn busybodies…”, you would be in big trouble.
In the best case scenario, they would beat you up and spit on you. In the worst-case scenario, they might throw you into the river or show you why flowers were red.
Ling Yun Tower…
Was in such an awkward position at the moment.
Although Ling Yun Tower was well-respected as one of the Five Sects of the Holy Region, people would still be unhappy if they chose to by onlookers while everyone else was working together.
The name of this unhappiness was public outrage!
”Tower Master, what should we do?” The woman in a red dress standing behind Qian Yu obviously felt a sense of crisis when she saw the unfriendly gazes.
'Little bastard, how dare you sabotage me!' Qian Yu was obviously angry, but that wouldn't change a thing because Fang Zhengzhi's words had already left her stranded in a bad position
'Do I really have to let this little bastard lead me by the nose?'
Qian Yu was obviously unwilling to accept that. After all, it wasn't just the issue of her personal image. It also concerned Ling Yun Tower's status.
The logic was simple…
Now that it had come to this, she couldn't save Ling Yun Tower from its awkward position just by sending a few disciples out.
After all, everyone would feel that Ling Yun Tower wasn't truly their ally and they only joined the rest because they didn't have a choice.
'What should I do?'
Many solutions went through Qian Yu's mind. However, she quickly rejected them until she eventually fixated on one solution.
However, after she decided to do that, Qian Yu really had an urge to kill Fang Zhengzhi. Nevertheless, she must do it in order to maintain Ling Yun Tower's reputation.
She was extremely angry!
Yet, she had to pretend to be calm.
”You can't even take down a mere Nangong Hao with the combined forces of so many sects and Four Sects of the Holy Region? Ai… The Holy Region is no longer the same as before!” Qian Yu stood up and glanced around the surrounding area as she exuded an arrogant aura.
The surrounding disciples were startled when they heard her. Even Mu Qingfeng's, Mo Shanshi's, and the other Holy Region's personnel's expressions changed.
After all, that was the same as saying that they were useless.
”Damn it!”
”She is obviously afraid of sacrificing her disciples, yet she could still sound so righteous?”
”That's right. Ling Yun Tower is nothing but talk!”
The disciples weren't stupid. They could definitely tell that she was making fun of them.
However, they shut up very quickly because the disciples standing behind Qian Yu walked out.
Ling Yun Tower had always held a special position in the Five Sects of the Holy Region.
That wasn't because Ling Yun Tower only had female disciples. It was because Ling Yun Tower was strong enough to frighten the rest.
At this very moment…
Dozens of Ling Yun Tower's disciples stepped out. They were neatly arranged and walking in unison. It was their imposing manner that shut those disciples' mouths.
”To be honest, I really didn't want to take part in this messy fight because it would degrade ourselves. Why don't all of you back off? Ling Yun Tower could take down Nangong Hao alone!” They heard Qian Yu's voice at this moment again. She looked extraordinarily cold and sounded exceptionally dominating.
”…”
”Didn't want to take part in this messy fight?”
”Degrade ourselves?!”
The surrounding disciples were enraged. However, their anger was different from their 'hostility' just now, because they were angered by Ling Yun Tower's arrogance.
However, it was true that Ling Yun Tower had always acted arrogantly in the Holy Region. Hence, although they were angry, they weren't surprised.
Most importantly…
Everyone soon realized that Ling Yun Tower wasn't actually unwilling to work with them. They were just unwilling to fight alongside them because they were too scornful of the rest.
They were angry, but they couldn't do anything about it.
That was how everyone felt at the moment.
”Smart move, auntie!” Fang Zhengzhi's lips moved again. At the meantime, he also blinked at Qian Yu and gave her a thumbs up.
Qian Yu naturally noticed Fang Zhengzhi's movement and lip talking, but she disregarded him. She just turned her head to the side and scoffed. Then, she looked up towards Nangong Hao, who was surrounded by countless snow-white flowers.
”Seven Moon-gazing Stars, Incinerate Everything!”
”Yes!” The dozens of disciples who walked out replied uniformly to Qian Yu and quickly set up their formation.
Dozens of Ling Yun Tower's disciples separated into eight groups almost instantly. They aligned themselves according to the Big Dipper and stood on the positions of the seven stars respectively.
There was a round 'moon' above the stars.
Since it was called 'Seven Moon-gazing Stars', the focal point of their attacks was obviously the 'moon' that was formed by several women in red dresses. The seven other stars were the sources of power for the moon.
Buzz!
An inferno rose up and started spreading from one of the stars. The flame lit up the moon almost immediately.
It was crimson.
It was a crimson moon that was covered in flames.
The surrounding disciples intuitively took a few steps back when they felt its mighty aura. All of them looked shocked and horrified.
”There are dozens of disciples, but they are using the same Dao!”
”Is that Ling Yun Tower?”
”It's just like the legends. They are too powerful!”
Even if these disciples were still angry about Qian Yu's words just now, they had ultimately decided to keep quiet after they witnessed this scene.
Ling Yun Tower was powerful!
