Chapter 1678: Deplorable
Hearing Li Tianji’s words, both Peach Cloud Fairy and Happy Fleece Fairy laughed. "If Wu Yu meets Tianji, he will fall. What does it matter if he’s the Patriarch Bodhi’s disciple?"
Li Tianji laughed loudly again upon hearing this. Before long, they had caught more than 1000 fluff sprites.
Just as the three of them were having a grand time, a voice suddenly came: "Ladies and gentleman, these fluff sprites are the lucky mascots of Mettle Sky. Please let them all go quickly!"
It was Memory Star Immortal Emperor, who had been about his business when he suddenly spotted people catching fluff sprites at Oasis of Clouds.
This was forbidden in Memory Star Immortal Emperor, and so Memory Star Immortal Emperor had hurried over to stop them with a severe expression.
Of course, he knew who they were. But even if they were the son of Nezha and the daughters of Mysterious Spiritual Dipper Empress and Dong Hua Great Emperor Lord, he was not afraid. Here in Mettle Sky, they would not dare to lay a hand on him.
The fluff sprites were protected with the name of the Patriarch Bodhi, and no one had dared to catch them before. He naturally had to speak up to defend their mascots.
However, Li Tianji and the girls completely ignored him.
"Who is this, sticking his nose in our business?"
Li Tianji cocked a dirty eye at Memory Star Immortal Emperor.
Peach Cloud Fairy had seen Memory Star Immortal Emperor before, and said softly: "He’s one of the Patriarch Bodhi’s disciples, Memory Star Immortal Emperor. The one who lost to Wu Yu. And let Wu Yu into the Patriarch Bodhi’s disciples."
"So it’s that scrub."
Li Tianji scoffed, and called out rudely to Memory Star Immortal Emperor: "Don’t stick your nose where it doesn’t belong. Scram and stop interfering with my entertainment. Or you won’t even have time to regret it!"
"Just let those fluff sprites go."
Memory Star Immortal Emperor did not waste words, sticking by his warning.
But Li Tianji would not listen, keeping his high and mighty character throughout. He flipped the warning back instead: "If you don’t leave, don’t blame us for what happens!"
Memory Star Immortal Emperor frowned. They were too stubborn, and completely immovable.
It seemed like they would not let the fluff sprites go.
The only option left to Memory Star Immortal Emperor was to return to the Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars and inform others to come and deal with this. After all, Memory Star Immortal Emperor also knew that this Li Tianji had killed an immortal emperor before, and was definitely stronger than he was.
Memory Star Immortal Emperor alone was not his match. If he would not listen, then Memory Star could only go enlist the help of others.
As expected, seeing Memory Star Immortal Emperor send out a message, Li Tianji flew into a rage.
"Why, you scumbag, you’re not only not leaving, you’re telling others? Do you think I’m so easy to cross?"
In his rage, he called Peach Cloud Fairy and Happy Fleece Fairy to him and the three attacked. Although they were not immortal emperors, but they were attacking 3 to 1, and all were geniuses beyond ordinary immortal emperors.
Memory Star Immortal Emperor scrambled to defend himself, unprepared for their surprise attack!
......
Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars.
A few people had received Memory Star Immortal Emperor’s immortal message talisman, and they were all disciples of the Patriarch Bodhi.
Wu Yu too had received it.
"It’s Li Tianji causing trouble by catching the fluff sprites. This Li Tianji is one of the stronger competitors, let’s go see what he’s up to."
Wu Yu thought to himself. He brought Full Moon of Nanshan and the rest, and headed over.
The group, led by Complete Fall Immortal Emperor, gathered outside the immortal residence and sped over to Oasis of Clouds.
Despite their swift response, they saw Memory Star Immortal Emperor already severely injured by the time they reached.
Surrounded by Li Tianji and the two girls, Memory Star Immortal Emperor was helpless, weakly defending himself and on the verge of being killed.
"STOP!"
Complete Fall Immortal Emperor’s eyes were bulging. He was on good terms with Memory Star Immortal Emperor usually, and he was also a disciple of the Patriarch Bodhi. How could he bear to see his own brethren being beaten to death?
About 20 people rushed up to protect Memory Star Immortal Emperor.
Only now did Li Tianji stop, flying a short distance away and looking arrogantly at the group.
Even though the numbers were against him now, Li Tianji was still unafraid, looking comfortable and ready to challenge them.
"What are you doing? Hurting someone at Mettle Sky, what nonsense is this?"
Complete Fall Immortal Emperor demanded of Li Tianji.
The other Patriarch Bodhi disciples were also furious, and chorused the reprimands.
But Li Tianji was not intimidated at all, instead laughing loudly. "You bunch of worthless trash. Go back and cultivate your shitty moves and stop bothering me. He was asking for it. How am I to blame? If you all know what’s good for you, stop interfering with my entertainment!"
Complete Fall Immortal Emperor and the others had never seen such a bratty and brazen character before. However, it was understandable with backers like Nezha and Pagoda Heavenly King.
His words drove them mad with rage. They had never seen such a shameless person before.
They were the perpetrators, and if the other disciples had not shown up in time, Memory Star Immortal Emperor would probably have died by their hand. And yet these immortal kings dared to lecture them righteously?
"You were in the wrong for catching fluff sprites. If you end things here, we will accept an apology."
Complete Fall Immortal Emperor was one who saw the big picture. As ugly and infuriating as their words were, he had no intention of pursuing the issue.
After all, given how powerful their families were, it was unrealistic to get them to pay any price. An apology would do.
But Li Tianji did not do apologies.
"Apology? What’s that?"
Li Tianji sneered. "If there should be an apology, it should be from him. How dare he interrupt my pleasure. A real wet blanket!"
He seemed to have no inkling of his own wrongdoing, as though the sky palaces revolved entirely around him.
Wu Yu too was furious, and gave a cold laugh. "I had heard that Li Tianji was a genius, but now I see he is but a spoiled sod."
He was friends with Memory Star Immortal Emperor, and it had been Memory Star Immortal Emperor looking out for him at every turn. Otherwise, he would have been completely unprepared for the Heavenly Devil Battlefield.
Seeing that Memory Star Immortal Emperor had been wretchedly beaten to the brink of death, how could Wu Yu stand by and do nothing?
"Who are you, and what gives you the right to speak here?"
Li Tianji’s eyes flashed over in anger, completely snubbing Wu Yu, whom he saw was a mere immortal king.
He narrowed his eyes. "Ah yes. There’s only one punk in the whole of the Patriarch Bodhi’s sect which isn’t an immortal emperor. You must be Wu Yu? How dare you talk to me like that, you impertinent scum. You’re dead!"
"Exactly. Don’t make my Tianji angry, you ignorant louts." Peach Cloud Fairy fixed them all with a disdainful eye. None of them were worth her attention.
Happy Fleece Fairy hastened to add her taunts as well: "You lot think you can talk to my Tianji like that? Pathetic. Who do you think you are?"
Seemed like it was not just Li Tianji, but his birds were also of the same feather.
This made Complete Fall Immortal Emperor and the others angrier than ever.
They might be neutral towards Wu Yu, but after all, they all stood on the same side of justice for Memory Star Immortal Emperor.
"Do your seniors know about your impertinent behavior?!"
"Churlish and unreasonable! How have the sky palaces become so dark!"
Complete Fall Immortal Emperor and the other disciples took up the angry abasement.
Suddenly, a look of surprise overcame Li Tianji’s face, as though he had spotted something.
Ignoring Complete Fall Immortal Emperor and the others, he stared at Luo Pin, who was by Wu Yu’s side. "You! What is your name?"
From the look on his face, he had clearly taken a liking to Luo Pin. Seeing how exceptional she was, suddenly she was all he had eyes for. Wu Yu who was by her side, Complete Fall Immortal Emperor and the others - all of them were invisible to him.
Luo Pin frowned, and ignored him.
Li Tianji was not put off, instead excitedly pressing her: "This lady, could you be a disciple of the Patriarch Bodhi as well? That’s not right. The only non-immortal emperor here is Wu Yu. Tell me, who are you?"
This playboy was very interested, and not at all fazed by Luo Pin’s frowning disapproval. He continued to pester her for her name and identity.
Of course, Luo Pin continued to ignore him.
This made both Peach Cloud Fairy and Happy Fleece Fairy very unhappy. They had been chasing Li Tianji for so long, and he had never expressed such intense interest in either of them before.
And now he was immediately moved by the girl by Wu Yu’s side, asking this and that, evidently intending to woo her.
They looked at Luo Pin. She was indeed talented, and a beauty. A rare find in the sky palaces, and this triggered their jealously against Luo Pin.
"Lady, don’t stand there among all those trash."
Li Tianji ignored Wu Yu and the others. "Come to my side, and I will show you how glorious the life of a true immortal is!"
