Chapter 11: Chief Disciple with outrageous imaginations
Wang Meng immediately signaled the numerous experts he had brought from various families to charge towards the Leng family.
Li Family Master did the same, urging his own disciples to join the fray. Afterwards, the two of them stood in midair, not far from Leng family Master, mocking and toying with him.
The strengths of the three families were originally quite evenly matched, each being one of the strongest families within the capital city. Now, with two families joining forces, they outnumbered the Leng family by twice. The Leng family's estate was filled with wails of agony as many of its disciples were surrounded and attacked, resulting in heavy casualties.
Leng family Master felt anxious as he watched this scene, but he was helpless. Faced with the two other Profound Realm of Ninth Heaven experts, he had no time to lend a helping hand to the younger generation in his family.
"You two are disrupting the balance among the three major families. Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will intervene and wipe out both of your families?" Leng family Master attempted to use the Emperor's threat as a last resort.
"Hehe, don't try to use the Emperor against us," Wang Meng sneered, crossing his arms in front of his chest, showing no signs of concern. "Even our Demon Emperor is probably struggling to protect himself now, let alone saving your Leng family."
They had no intention of immediately attacking Leng family Master; they only needed to intercept him and wait for the younger generation of their families to annihilate the Leng family completely.
"What do you mean by that?" Leng family Master's expression darkened when he heard that even the Demon Emperor might be in danger.
If that were the case, the Leng family would have to admit defeat today. He just hoped that the young girl hadn't encountered any danger and wouldn't return to the capital city to meet her death…
Just as Wang Meng was about to continue to taunt Leng family Master and break his spirit, a young cultivator with a distinguished appearance and elegant robe slowly ascended into the air.
"Pathetic, you can't even handle the Leng family. How much longer do I have to wait here?" The young man's displeasure was evident, and he didn't regard the two Unity Realm experts as anything special. He launched into a scolding as soon as he arrived.
"Please calm down, my lord. Dealing with Leng Zhan, who is also at the Ninth Heaven of Profound Realm, can be quite troublesome if we fight to the death," one of the experts said, trying to explain the situation respectfully.
"Our lives are insignificant, but if it involves you, my lord, the consequences would be severe!" The other expert quickly added, both of them bowing respectfully to the young man.
The young man's name was Zhang Tianze. Though he was only at the Profound Realm, Fifth Heaven, the two experts dared not be impolite. After all, Zhang Tianze was the personal chief disciple of the Luo Heaven Sect and, without any surprises, would likely become the next Sect Master in a couple of hundred years due to his exceptional talent.
"Hmph, how laughable." Zhang Tianze scoffed, seemingly unafraid of even the two Profound Realm experts.
"As long as your Leng family hands over Leng Yanran and she becomes my attendant, I will spare your family. How about it?" Zhang Tianze turned to look at Leng Zhan, who was on guard, and said in a calm tone.
"To be honest, my lord, Yanran is not currently at home," Leng Zhan reluctantly replied. "I ask that you have both families stand down for now. We can discuss this matter once Yanran returns."
Though Leng Zhan was unwilling, he had to bow his head while under someone else's roof. He could only pretend to agree for now and find a solution once Yanran came back.
However, the two family masters behind Zhang Tianze had changed expressions upon hearing his words. Li Family Master's purpose for attacking the Leng family was to use Yanran as a cauldron to break through his bottleneck before his time was up. If Zhang Tianze wanted Yanran as well, then Li Family Master would have no hope.
As for Wang Meng, his face turned pale. He had dispatched three Profound Realm assassins to intercept Yanran. This was bad; things were now over. Even with Yanran's extraordinary talent, facing three Profound Realm experts in pursuit would surely result in her death.
Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Wang Meng's forehead. He had truly offended Zhang Tianze. He could only hope to find a chance to escape before the news reached back to him.
Just as everyone's thoughts were scattered, Zhang Tianze's eyes lit up as he saw a figure in the distance, approaching at an incredible speed. Isn’t that the Leng Yanran he wanted!
Instantly, Zhang Tianze wore a smile on his face and made a slight gesture, signaling the two family masters to halt temporarily. Reluctantly, they followed suit.
Wang Meng, upon seeing Leng Yanran's figure, widened his eyes in disbelief, but relief washed over him.
"Yanran, hurry and leave!"
Leng Zhan hesitated for a moment, his eyes revealing a resolute expression. He turned to Leng Yanran and shouted.
He had only pretended to agree with Zhang Tianze to alleviate the damage to the Leng family, never intending to hand her over as a bargaining chip to save his family.
Now that he saw Leng Yanran returning, he made up his mind to help her escape while he fought to the death. The fate of the family's younger generation depended on their luck.
"You insignificant ants dare to disrupt my plans. I will make sure you never live to see another day!" Zhang Tianze's face, previously filled with smiles, instantly darkened as he heard Leng Zhan's words.
However, Leng Yanran acted as if she hadn't heard a word and quickened her movements. In no time, she was hovering above the Leng family, facing everyone.
She initially believed that it was merely a cooperation between the Wang and Li families. But now she noticed the presence of Zhang Tianze, the chief disciple of the Luo Heaven Sect. Leng Yanran furrowed her eyebrows.
Even if it was just the Wang and Li families joining forces, she would have trouble dealing with them. Now, with the addition of the colossal Luo Heaven Sect, she would be even more helpless and could only find ways to protect herself.
However, this situation was different. With her master's existence, akin to that of an immortal, Leng Yanran faced everyone without a hint of fear.
Instead, she assumed a condescending posture, not wanting to bring shame to her Heavenly Dao Sect or her master.
"You insignificant rats, have you considered the consequences of attacking my Leng family today?"
Leng Yanran looked down on the group, and her words stunned everyone, making their jaws drop.
Even Leng Zhan was astonished, a little dazed. How could Leng Yanran be so confident when facing the alliance of the Wang and Li families and the chief disciple of the Luo Heaven Sect?
"Heh, I see. They all say Leng Yanran possesses exceptional decision-making skills, and today I witness it firsthand. She just appeared, and with a single glance, she understands the situation, knowing that I came here for her. So she directly raised my banner, huh?
"How marvelous, truly marvelous!"
Zhang Tianze first looked puzzled, but then his eyes brightened as if he had figured something out. He clapped his hands in admiration.
The others who were stunned by Leng Yanran's words suddenly realized, and they couldn't help but look at her with newfound respect.
This woman is truly extraordinary and intelligent!
