Dual Cultivation In Martial Peak - Chapter 17: Stupidity Is Hereditary?

Chapter 17- Stupidity Is Hereditary?

While the various Lords of the Blood Battle Group were busy licking Hu Man’s boots with verbal praises for his daughters, Hu Man could hear nothing but empty words without any sort of substance.

Just as he was standing up to leave, Hu Man stopped in his tracks and lifted up his head. Looking outside, his face couldn’t help but turn heavy looking with traces of concern.

In the next moment, all of the Lords and Elders shut their mouths and turned their heads.

A formless aura, like the heavens were falling on their shoulders, pressing them down; shaking them to their very core.

An expert has graced the Blood Battle Group with their presence! Everyone within the Grand Hall could feel his presence.

Following that, an aged voice sounded next to everyone’s ears, “Where is Long Zai Tian?”

This voice was very flat, no one could hear any emotion within it. But everyone on site couldn’t help but tremble, they could feel that the expert that had suddenly descended came with some ill intent.

A powerful expert suddenly came searching for the Vice Leader of the Group, they couldn’t help but be anxious. Everyone looked at each other simultaneously and couldn’t help but hold some doubt within their hearts.

“Follow me outside to take a look.” Standing up, Hu Man walked in large strides outside, so the various Lords and Elders had to follow. Although he was worried, a leader must never show his worries.

Coming outside the room, people saw someone standing in mid-air. That person was an old man who was standing strongly in the air. This person was all white from head to toe; he gave a sinking feeling to everyone. His sharp eyes had swept over everyone, just like a hawk viewing the earth from the sky, his eyes viewed everything with disdain, arrogance and wildly abandon.

When the eyes swept over everyone, everyone couldn’t help but have a tingling feeling of fear.

“Peak of the Immortal Ascension Realm!” Hu Man exclaimed in a low voice, his rough facial skin twitching slightly as he could no longer mask his worry.

“Peak of the Immortal Ascension Realm?” The people around Hu Man were also shocked, “Is he the leader of High Heaven Pavilion?”

In this surrounding area for a great distance, many masters have reached the Immortal Ascension Realm, but speaking of those at the true peak of that realm, one can only think of the leader of the High Heaven Pavilion, who is a mystery to everyone. It can be said that it is possible to see a divine dragon but it is impossible to see the leader of the High Heaven Pavilion.

This old man was wearing robes similar to the ones used in High Heaven Pavilion and had a similar age to that of the leader. It is not a mistake that some people will think that he is the leader.

“He is not the leader of the High Heaven Pavilion.” Hu Man shook his head slowly. When he was young, he had once seen one side of High Heaven Pavilion’s leader and he naturally remembered that appearance. It was a completely different appearance compared to this old man.

Moreover, although this person was an Immortal Ascension Realm powerhouse, the pressure that was felt by Hu Man was way stronger than that of someone at the peak of Immortal Ascension Realm.

Hu Man himself was an Immortal Ascension Seventh Stage powerhouse. So even if the leader of the High Heaven Pavilion arrived, his pressure will not give Hu Man too many restrictions.

But the old man in front of him was different. When Hu Man looked at him, he felt like he was staring at a mountain which he will never be able to surpass, a river that can never be crossed. Even if he consumed all of his life’s energy, all he could accomplish was to only be able to look up to the old man. This is a very strange feeling, but Hu Man always believed in his intuition.

‘It’s best to not cross this old man. Where did this powerhouse even come from?’ Hu Man had a very serious look on his face as he took one step forward, cupping his fist, Hu Man bowed and asked. “May I know the honoured senior’s name?”

The person who was standing there was naturally Meng Wuya. Meng Wuya had suppressed his anger for a long time. As soon as he returned to High Heaven Pavilion, he wanted to come looking for Long Zai Tian. But fearing that his Disciple will again look for Su Mu, he defended against this for a few days in the name of cultivation, when he was finally convinced that she had properly entered secluded cultivation, then he leisurely came looking for trouble with the Blood Battle Group.

“Are you Long Zai Tian?” Meng Wuya asked while narrowing his eyes, his eyes were like those of a hawk who was looking at his prey.

Hu Man couldn’t help but circulate his True Qi within his body. It looked like his life was on a thread in this critical moment but he was able to maintain his composure, after all, he was the leader of a group, and he had already mentally strengthened himself. If he was frightened by the opposite party’s few words, wouldn’t it look highly improper?

“I am Blood Battle Group’s Sect Master, Hu Man.”

‘He is the father of those two girls?’ Meng Wuya thought, remembering Su Mu’s words about Hu Mei’er and Hu Jiao’er.

He owed Su Mu for not only agreeing to help Xia Ning Chang but to save her life as well. So naturally, he won’t ignore Su Mu’s words about not causing too much trouble for the Blood Battle Group. His main goal was to kill Long Zai Tian along with destroying the Group’s mining area, the latter being Su Mu’s idea.

Although Su Mu was the reason his disciple was involved in this mess, Meng Wuya still didn’t blame Su Mu. After all, he was the one who decided to ask for Su Mu’s help.

“If you are not Long Zai Tian, then why are you opening your mouth?” Meng Wuya asked.

Hu Man was startled by this, but was wise enough to not get angry suddenly. When Hu Man was about to open his mouth again to explain something. Meng Wuya became crazy.

“Fuck you, Long Zai Tian, you old dog roll out in front of this old Man!”

This roar was an indescribably real world tragedy; it rang out past the clouds, penetrated deep into the earth. Not only was it heard by the Blood Battle Group, but it was also heard by people from the Storm House and High Heaven Pavilion who were within the Black Wind Trade Area.

With this single roar, everyone became quiet.

A crowd of Immortal Ascension Realm and True Element Realm powerhouse were looking at Meng Wu Ya with silly expressions. They were staring at him with dumbfounded stares. They would have never thought that a powerhouse can curse a person with his full power; moreover, his cursing was done in such an evil and vulgar way.

If he is doing such a thing then he should have a very big enmity with the other party. Letting his training and demeanour be thrown beyond the highest heavens? What did that Long Zai Tian do for calling this much anger towards himself?

Hu Man asked with a calm face, “Senior, please calm down. If you have words, then please speak, I will listen to them.”

Although the strength of this person was very high, Hu Man doesn’t want him as an enemy. However, Long Zai Tian was still the Vice Sect Leader of the Blood Battle Group, the least he needed to do was stand up.

Meng Wuya’s palm came halfway towards Hu Man.

“You stand still. Long Zai Tian must come out to see me, if he doesn’t come out and cut his head off somewhere secluded, this old man will slaughter the whole of your Blood Battle Group!” Meng Wuya started threatening the Blood Battle Group. He was unable to see the culprit so he was very annoyed in his heart. If it wasn’t for what Su Mu said, Meng Wuya would’ve already started killing the people of the Blood Battle Group until he found Long Zai Tian. As for the Blood Battle Group itself, it was worth nothing in his eyes.

“Hey, is that Long Zai Tian a turtle, doesn’t he dare to come out and meet this old man?” Meng Wu Ya said while sweeping his eyes towards the people standing under him.

This time, it was a youth who responded to Meng Wuya’s slander with a cold face, “This senior, watch what you are saying. If my grandfather and you have any enmity, then solve it, why are you insulting him like that?” The person who spoke was naturally Long Jun, Long Hui’s older brother.

Meng Wuya came and scolded Long Zai Tian with coarse and vulgar language. Long Jun was a descendant of Long Zai Tian, so how could he endure? Taking advantage of the fact that this place is Blood Battle Group’s headquarters, along with numerous masters standing beside him, he took the opportunity to refute Meng Wu Ya immediately.

So what if he was a peak Immortal Ascension Realm cultivator? The Blood Battle Group also had many masters of the Immortal Ascension Realm. If he dared to start a fight here, it was already decided that he will never return from here.

If Su Mu was here, he would’ve concluded that stupidity was something that was hereditary within the Long Family.

“Your Grandfather?” Meng Wuya narrowed both his eyes while staring at Long Jun.

“The person who this Mister is trying to find is my Grandfather!” Long Jun gave a sound reply with no trace of fear.

“That’s very good!” Meng Wuya smiled, “A dragon will live like a dragon, the phoenix will live like a phoenix, and at birth, the mouse will be digging holes. That Long Hui was not a good thing, so you as his elder brother, wouldn’t be worthy of anything great either.”

How did Long Hui come into this conversation? The surrounding people thought that this old man said something unconsciously. Such a random word, what does he want to say?

Long Jun became angry, “Old man, you are acting too wild. This is the Blood Battle Group’s Headquarters, it’s not a place where you can act wild!”

“Is this old man acting wild?” Meng Wuya asked as if he had heard the world’s funniest joke. For a second, a grin appeared on his face before his complexion suddenly turned cold, then he scolded and said, “What can you do, even if this old man is acting wildly?

While speaking, he just randomly threw out a slap.

Shunt!*

With this sound, Hu Man’s face became pale as he was about to protect Long Jun, but Meng Wu Ya was lightning fast. Hu Man just saw him lifting one hand and in the next moment, a resounding sound rang out from Long Jun’s face.

Two teeth flew out of his mouth along with Long Jun, who flew with them for a few meters before he dropped to the ground with a thud sound.

The people from Blood Battle Group became frightened instantaneously; Hu Man also felt an icy coldness from his body.

They were simply unable to believe how the old man did it. When he was standing at a distance of 50 meters from Long Jun, the palm struck even before they had the time to react.

Can this be achieved by an Immortal Ascension Realm powerhouse? Even if the person is at the peak of the Immortal Ascension Realm, it would still be impossible for them to leave all the people at the scene to be at a loss.

Hu Man thought that if the leader of High Heaven Pavilion would have thrown this punch, he was about 90% sure that he could have been able to keep it off Long Jun.

Long Jun had also been dumbstruck by the flick of that palm, after falling to the ground, he staggered and crawled, after several moments when he was able to find the correct direction, he again looked at Meng Wuya. Now, he was dreading his previous action with his whole face becoming panic-stricken.

His right cheek swelled up greatly, and although he does not have any internal injuries, the slap was given to him by Meng Wuya in public. For a person like Long Jun, who always covers up his shortcomings in presence of everyone, being slapped like this caused him to feel humiliated, something which Long Jun hasn’t felt up till now in the presence of bystanders.

“Gahhhh…” Just like earlier, Long Jun took off again. Blood Battle Group’s many experts did not even have time to react.

Finally, Hu Man was unable to bear it any longer. Turning towards Meng Wuya, he angrily said, “Senior, you are a person of high skill, why are you bullying a junior, doesn’t senior fear becoming a joke in other people’s eyes?”

“Ha! If I began, does he even have any life remaining? This was only a slight lesson.” Ming Wuya said with a sneer, and then he quietly said, “Come here, boy!”

One of his hands moved forward, and then a huge suction was created towards Long Jun, who was on the ground and had not even started crawling yet. In mid-air, Long Jun tried to make threatening gestures, but his facial colour displayed nothing but pure terror, before he shouted, “Master, save me!”

“SENIOR!” Hu Man shouted, taking a step forward.

Meng Wuya paid no attention to him before he raised Long Jun by his neck. With a dark look, he replied to Hu Man, “This old man has a debt to settle due to injustice, this old man is only looking for Long Zai Tian today! Boy, you are the grandson of Long Zai Tian, obediently tell me where is he?”

After Long Jun suffered the two attacks from Meng Wuya’s hands, he became cleverer than a rabbit. There were no signs of haughtiness remaining. Suffering from pain in his two cheeks, he replied in a trembling voice, “Grandfather is not with the group at present.”

“Where is he then?”

“In the mining area!”

“Show me the direction.”

“That way!” Under the threat of death, how could Long Jun dare to hesitate? Under these circumstances, Meng Wuya asks a question and he replies with an answer. Even if his cheeks were burning with pain, his words were coming out quite agilely.

Meng Wuya’s appearance shook a little, and then ropes made of twisted bamboo strips became visible before they covered Long Jun directly. Then, he soared in the direction of the Blood Battle Group mining area.

“Sect Master!” The group of people looked at Hu Man with urgency in their gazes, awaiting his decision.

“Let’s follow them!” Hu Man ordered. He really did not know how Long Zai Tian provoked this person of such high skill. The opposite party had still not clarified that point.

Meanwhile, the Black Wind Trade Area was still extremely busy.

Walking around, Su Mu noticed something rather interesting.

[Purchasing the seeds of Yang attribute grass and spirit fruit!]

Su Mu looked at Yang Kai, who was quietly meditating while absorbing the Yang Stones near his chest.

‘My cultivation right now should be enough to use that Technique.’ Su Mu thought as a smile appeared on his face.

Walking towards the stall, he offered some Yang attribute Spirit Fruit seeds to Yang Kai, which the latter appreciated without much thought. Coupled with the reasonable price Su Mu asked for, Yang Kai wasn’t going to deny such a deal.

“Well then, I’ll see you later, Brother.” Yang Kai said, cupping his fists before taking his leave.

‘An artifact inside his body, huh? And from what I felt, that book is most likely an inheritance. But there was something weird with his bones too.’ Su Mu thought. No wonder Yang Kai’s growth exploded all of a sudden.

“Well, that was easy, to say the least.” Su Mu muttered, looking at the small star-shaped mark that appeared on his fingertip. After a few moments, the star-shaped mark disappeared. During their exchange, Su Mu had placed a tracker on Yang Kai. As long as Su Mu focused for a certain amount of time, it should be enough to locate Yang Kai throughout this small world.

Even if Yang Kai saw the star-shaped mark that appeared behind his right shoulder, there was no way for him to remove it, so Su Mu wasn’t worried about that. Even if Yang Kai were to cut that part off his body, it would just reappear.

With that done, Su Mu returned to Su Yan’s wooden house. The reason Su Mu wasn’t focused on refining his Yuan Qi into Sword Qi was simple. With his current cultivation, the amount of Sword Qi his body could hold was very limited.
