Chapter 530: Call Me Grandpa
Chapter 530: Call Me Grandpa
The Void Immortal Sword Sect had thirty-six peaks. Although the top disciples from all thirty-six peaks didn't come, the thousands of sword cultivators present encompassed disciples from every peak, with not a single one absent!
At present, the Immortal Dynasty Manor's who had come to provoke Fang Chen were all being beaten up, with Xu Qingsong suffering the worst.
However, the beaten cultivators weren't as helpless as they seemed. They simply weren't willing to fight a bitter battle against the sword cultivators.
It was well-known that sword cultivators had shorter lifespans than normal cultivators. Why would they be willing to put their lives on the line against those freaks who were bound to die sooner than later? In the end, trading life for life with a sword cultivator was a big loss.
This led them to act cautiously and fearfully, whereas, on the side of the sword cultivators, not a single one of them was holding back!
Xu Qingsong had been beaten up so badly that he was left coughing up one mouthful of blood after the other as he lay on the ground.
Eyes bloodshot, he looked at the group of sword cultivators standing before him. "Enough!"
"We'll say when it's enough. If you don't want to continue being beaten, you can kneel down and call each of us 'Grandpa' once. Otherwise, you won't leave here alive today."
A sword cultivator grinned maliciously. "Don't expect anyone from the Great Expansion Dao Gate to come and save you. Our seniors have already gone to pay respects to the mountains of your Great Expansion Dao Gate. They are too busy to bother with you fools!"
Hearing that, Xu Qingsong paled with shock. He quietly grasped a Transmission Talisman and tried to communicate with the higher-ups. However, shortly after he took it out, his face turned as white as a sheet of paper.
The Great Expansion Dao Gate had relayed a message to him, advising him to fend for himself. If he could avoid death, then he shouldn't seek it.
Xu Qingsong clenched his teeth and said, "I come from a noble background as a descendant of the Immortal Seedling, and I am a Fusion Realm cultivator. I may not be famous in the Central Continent, but I have a certain reputation. Asking me to kneel down and call you 'Grandpa' is an insult to me. A warrior can be killed but not humiliated!"
Every word Xu Qingsong said was dragged through his clenched teeth, filled with great resolution.
Qin Hucheng, who had been silent and inactive all along, suddenly smiled coldly. "Then you shall die."
A terrifying sword intent slowly emanated from the flying sword in his hand.
Upon sensing the threat of death, Xu Qingsong's expression turned horrified, and he got cold feet at the last moment. He shouted in despair, "I'll say it!"
"Everyone, Xu Qingsong of the Great Expansion Dao Gate is about to call us 'Grandpa'. Stop whatever you're doing and have a look."
Qin Hucheng's lips curved slightly upwards as his voice resounded throughout the Immortal Dynasty Manor.
The sword cultivators immediately stopped their actions and turned to look at Xu Qingsong.
"Phew."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief before looking at Xu Qingsong with considerable annoyance.
If it weren't for that bastard, why would these lunatics from the Void Immortal Sect have come all the way to the Immortal Dynasty Manor! How else would we have been dragged into this mess with these lunatics!
"Hurry up and start calling. It doesn't matter which one you start with, have your pick." Qin Hucheng chuckled. "We've brought thousands of people from the Void Immortal Sword Sect, and you'll have to call each and every one of us 'Grandpa.'"
Xu Qingsong's face turned ashen. After a long silence, he looked at one of the sword cultivators and said hoarsely, "Grandpa."
"Hey! Good grandson!"
The cultivator laughed heartily, turning to the others and saying, "Xu Qingsong of the Great Expansion Dao Gate called me 'Grandpa'. I'm just a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator! Hahaha! How amusing!"
Xu Qingsong's face became even more unpleasant at these words.
Gai Hong and the others exchanged looks, suddenly revealing a hint of pity in their eyes toward Xu Qingsong. They silently swore to themselves that they would avoid provoking the sword cultivators of the Void Immortal Sword Sect unless absolutely necessary.
Killing him was one thing, but these guys were deliberately humiliating him. This was a clear slap to the face of the Great Expansion Dao Gate. They didn't care about stirring trouble at all!
Encountering such a predicament was indeed quite troublesome. Under the threat of death, Xu Qingsong endured unprecedented humiliation, calling out "Grandpa" over and over again. By the end, he was numb.
After the time took for a stick of incense to burn passed, Xu Qingsong looked toward Qin Hucheng and asked in a hoarse voice, "I am done. Can I go now?"
"You've finished?." Qin Hucheng pointed to Fairy Yu and Fang Chen. "But you haven't called these two yet."
"Them?!" Xu Qingsong was furious. "They are not even sword cultivators of the Void Immortal Sword Sect."
"Whether they are or not is not your decision to make. I told you to address them as such, so you better do it. If you don't, I'll kill you. It's your choice," Qin Hucheng said indifferently.
Xu Qingsong looked at Fang Chen, his eyes filled with deep resentment. "Grandpa."
Fang Chen smiled and nodded.
Fairy Yu sternly demanded, "Call me Grandma!"
"Grandma!" Xu Qingsong exclaimed.
With that said, Xu Qingsong got up and left straight away.
Qin Hucheng and his companions did not intervene. As Xu Qingsong was about to disappear, someone whispered quietly, "Now that he's done, should we really honor our promise, or do we just kill him?"
Watching Xu Qingsong's figure fade away, Qin Hucheng suddenly smiled, "Let's hold off on killing him for now. After our seniors finish paying respects at the Great Expansion Dao Gate today, we'll know how to deal with the disciples of the Great Expansion Dao Gate in the future."
Gai Hong slowly spoke up. "Fellow Cultivator Qin, can we call it a day?"
"You had enough?" Qin Hucheng's mouth curled slightly. "Junior brothers and junior sisters, have you had enough?"
"Not yet!"
Qin Hucheng looked at Gai Hong and chuckled. "We rarely make such a trip. Don't spoil our mood, let's continue."
Lu Gang clenched his fists. "Damn it, these lunatics! I'll take them on!"
As a formidable cultivator of the Immortal Giant Sect, he held a high status and was different from ordinary disciples. However, today, he had been insulted without reason several times! The anger in his heart was hard to contain.
Gai Hong suddenly stepped back. "Fellow Cultivator Qin, Fellow Cultivator Lu just said he's ready to take you all on."
Lu Gang hesitated for a moment before instinctively looking at Gai Hong and the others. He quickly noticed that everyone had taken a step back, leaving him feeling abandoned.
Qin Hucheng pointed at Lu Gang. "Alright, come and fight me."
"Enough with your bullying. You're a sword cultivator at the peak of the Fusion Realm. What's there for me to fight with you?" Lu Gang said bitterly, on the verge of despair. "This time, your Void Immortal Sword Sect clearly gained the upper hand. Demoness Yu didn't even die, but my Giant Immortal Sect lost an Immortal Seedling. What more do you want?"
Qin Hucheng spoke lightly. "Whether we gained anything or not, that's for us to decide. In our view, we've suffered a great loss. As our elders have always taught us, if we've suffered a loss, we must retaliate a hundredfold and thousandfold to vent our grievances; otherwise, our sword intent will be hard to achieve."
With that, he casually swung his sword, and a terrifying sword intent cut across Lu Gang's head. Lu Gang instinctively touched it and felt his bare scalp.
Qin Hucheng smirked slightly. "That last strike was just a warm-up. The main course is coming next."
A few moments later, chaos erupted in the Immortal Dynasty Manor. Many thought the situation had ended, but the madmen from the Void Immortal Sword Sect had no intention of letting them leave easily. Several hours later, cries of agony filled the Immortal Dynasty Manor. Except for a few like Su Mo, everyone had received a certain degree of injury.
It wasn't until the Heaven Profound Mirror suddenly displayed something that everyone stopped.
On the Heaven Profound Mirror, a misty immortal mountain appeared, along with a figure as imposing as a mountain standing with his hands clasped behind his back. Only a third of his profile was visible. However, as he toward the immortal mountain, he exuded an unparalleled aura, as if he was a transcendent immortal who had descended.
Many sword cultivators frowned deeply. "Isn't that the Sect Master? He's showing off again."
