I Just Want to Live Peacefully
Chapter 12: The Empress Attacks Again

Name: Yue Cheng

Gender: Male

Cultivation base: Natural Seed Dao

Background: First Seat of Zhiyang Peak (Note: He is the Elder of Yinmo Sect).

Relations: -30

Status: After his disciple, Linghu Yin, told him that he had lost at Chuyang Peak, he sent his disciple to the Tower of Refinement as punishment. He predicted that Dongfang Lie would take revenge and send his disciple, Huo Yun, to Chuyang Peak. He called his younger brother, Zuo Han, and instructed Zuo Han to kill Jiang Ming and Zi Linglong after Huo Yun was done. He intended to make Dongfang Lie a scapegoat. After the two Gu Hai disciples died, Gu Hai would definitely take revenge on Dongfang Lie. He wanted to kill two birds with a stone with his plan.

Jiang Ming took a sharp breath as he read Yue Cheng's status. “How cruel!”

Jiang Ming could not help but give Yue Cheng a thumbs up for his plan. If he and his younger sister were ordinary cultivators, they would have already died. If they died, Dongfang Lie would have trouble defending themselves. Even if Dongfang Lie knew Yue Cheng was behind the matter, Dongfang Lie would have no evidence to back up his claim.

“He came for us in broad daylight. This is not the kind of courage that ordinary men have.” Jiang Ming was somewhat impressed with Yue Cheng. In the end, Chu Yang Peak could only blame himself for rejecting such circumstances. Apart from the First Seat, there were only two disciples at the Peak. There were no elders to manage the affairs of the Peak at all.

Whooshing sound!

Just with a thought from Jiang Ming, the Human Path Note flipped again. He wrote another name on the page mentally.

Name: Zuo Han

Gender: Male

Cultivation base: Purple Mansion Realm.

Background: The elder of the Zhiyang Peak Jiuyang Sect (Note: He is actually an elder of the Yinmo Sect)

Relationship: -93.

Status: He was heading towards Chuyang Peak under the orders of his elder brother. He planned to deliver a deadly blow after Huo Yun left.

“I know it ..” Jiang Ming shook his head. Zhiyang Peak has turned into a demon lair, but no one has noticed it yet/

‘Perhaps someone already knows about it but has not taken action due to lack of evidence. There was also the possibility of them also preparing to move on their own.’ Jiang Ming thought to himself. After all, he had no way of verifying it.

Since the value of his relationship with Zuo Han was - 93, there was no doubt that Zuo Han would definitely kill him if given the chance.

“Since he is only a cultivator of the Purple House, it should be easy for me to kill him,” Jiang Ming murmured to himself. Despite his words, he did not feel very confident. Moreover, against an expert, he had never fought before. He felt a hint of anticipation springing up in his heart as he thought about this.

Just as Jiang Ming turned around, he saw a body speeding away.

The figure stopped in midair, clenched his fists towards Jiang Ming, and said, “Huo Yun, the first disciple of Lieyang Peak, has come to visit.”

Huo Yun's voice had not faded, but he had already landed on the speech platform. This was a special privilege enjoyed only by the first disciples; they did not need to climb the stairs to the top of the mountain.

Jiang Ming jumped off the roof and walked over. According to etiquette, he should welcome Huo Yun.

Holy hooch!

At the same time, the Human Path Note again opened and showed Huo Yun information to him.

Name: Huo Yun

Gender: Male

Cultivation base: Natural Core Formation (Golden Core).

Background: The first disciple of the Peak Lieyang Sect Jiuyang.

Relationship: 49

Status: He was under the orders of his master to come here and apologize before challenging the first disciple of Chuyang Peak.

Jiang Ming could not help but smile after seeing Huo Yun's information. ‘Looks like Dongfang First Chair is really not willing to suffer even a little loss. However, I must admit his behavior is commendable. He sent his disciple here to apologize first before challenging me. This is all in accordance with the rules of the sect ..’

Jiang Ming was somewhat surprised by the value of his relationship and Huo Yun.49 meant Huo Yun had a good impression of him.

At this moment, Zi Linglong flew up and landed next to him. Then, he asked in a low voice, “Should I kill him?”

Huo Yun slightly furrowed his brows. The two Peak Chuyang disciples might speak softly, but someone with his cultivation base could easily hear their conversation. He studied Zi Linglong closely, but he could not feel it at all. Nevertheless, he remained vigilant after learning that the cultivation base of his younger brother, Jia Guang, had been destroyed by the little girl.’

“Senior Brother Huo,” call Jiang Ming while cupping his fist towards Huo Yun.

“Senior brother Jiang,” Huo Yun said without any convolutions, “This morning, my younger brother, Jia Guang, came here to provoke Chuyang Peak without my master's knowledge. It was only natural that his cultivation base was destroyed. As punishment, my master has also expelled him from Lieyang Peak. After all, this incident was the fault of Lieyang Peak. My master sent me here to apologize, ” Huo Yun said. Then, he took out a jade box and opened it, revealing a translucent spiritual crystal within. He handed it over and said, “This is a middle-class spiritual crystal. Please accept that as a sign of our apology.”

“Senior Brother Huo, you shouldn't ..” said Jiang Ming as he gestured for Linglong to receive him. It would be an insult if Peak Lieyang gave them a middle-class spiritual crystal as a sign of apology. Middle-grade spiritual crystals are acceptable. After all, this was only a matter between Peaks.

“Please enter, Senior Brother Huo,” said Jiang Ming as he turned to the side.

“No, it's okay,” Huo Yun said as he shook his head. Then, he hesitated for a while before adding, “Since Jia Guang's cultivation base has been destroyed, regardless of his mistake, it is still an insult to Lieyang Peak. Therefore, as the first disciple of Lieyang Peak, I have to do something. I want to challenge you, Senior Brother Jiang. ”

Huo Yun felt somewhat embarrassed after saying these words.

Zi Linglong sneered. Then, he stepped forward and said, “What a ridiculous thing. You have no right to challenge my older brother. ”

After saying that, Zi Linglong no longer held back his aura. Energy surged immediately, causing the air to ripple and distort. Then, he said, “You're a good person. It is a pity that you have a master with such a short temper. Let's do it. I will fight in place of my older brother!”

Zi Linglong clenched his hand as a red sword appeared.

Meanwhile, Huo Yun's expression turned grim as he sensed Zi Linglong's aura. He felt a little shaken by it. When he saw the young girl with such a powerful aura, he somehow felt as if he was facing a towering and insurmountable mountain. He even had a strange desire to kneel down and worship him.

After a while, Huo Yun took a deep breath to suppress the fear within him before he said, “Young Sister Linglong, from what I know you are only ten years old, but you already have such a deep cultivation base. You should be in the Golden Core Realm now, right? You are really talented. Even the young geniuses of the sect cannot compare to you. Why are you hiding your strength?”

“I challenge the Exam Tower tomorrow,” Zi Linglong said indifferently before he made a move.

Using his sword as a medium, he launched thousands of sword qi using his spiritual qi towards Huo Yun. There were so many sword qi that they looked like raindrops.

Huo Yun's expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly retreated 100 meters away. He watched as countless sword qi merged into towering sword qi in just the blink of an eye. He flew up and waved his hand before he channeled mana into his sword to fend off the attack. Unfortunately, he was thrown from the impact of the collision and hit the face of the mountain.

“Very strong!” Jiang Ming exclaimed. Nevertheless, he knew if it was him who faced the attack, it would not even leave a scratch on his skin even if he did not defend himself.

Huo Yun, the first disciple of the Lieyang Peak, could not even withstand the attack from Zi Linglong. It shows how scary he is.

‘He is only ten years old, and the rapid increase in his cultivation can be explained by the awakening of his lineage. However, how could his attack be so powerful as well? Moreover, he used his sword like a veteran. Is he the son of destiny? Which heaven selected?’ Jiang Ming felt like scratching his head at the thought of this.

Jiang Ming knew if his little sister was truly a child of destiny, she would definitely become a leading figure in the future. However, this also meant that he would draw trouble upon himself. He sighed. ‘After all, she is my dear junior sister, and I have seen her grow up. I will kill anyone who dares to bully him.’

This thought had just popped into Jiang Ming's mind when he saw Huo Yun flying back. Traces of blood could be seen at the corners of his lips, and the shocked expression on his face had not faded.

“You're back for more?” Zi Linglong frowned.

“No!” Huo Yun hurriedly shook his head. Then, she said with a bitter smile, “You are too strong, Junior Sister. I'm not suitable for you. If I may ask, how do you usually cultivate?”

Zi Linglong did not respond to Huo Yun. He simply stood still behind Jiang Ming.

Upon seeing this, Huo Yun was not angry at all. Instead, he looked at Jiang Ming and said, “Senior Brother Jiang, I feel you are also hiding your cultivation base ..”

“I'm just an ordinary cultivator,” Jiang Jing said with a smile, “That's it?”

“Yes. I have to report back to my master now, ” Huo Yun said as he shook his head. Then, he added, “This sect values geniuses. Once your strength is revealed, the Grand Elder of Zhiyang Peak will definitely come to visit. After all, Jia Guang came today because he was instigated by Linghu Yin from Zhiyang Peak. Anyway, I have to go now. Pamilitan. I will visit again in another day.”

Huo Yun left after cupping his fists together at Jiang Ming and Zi Linglong.

Jiang Ming nodded and countered the move. He looked behind Huo Yun with a smile, “He was very direct ..”

Zi Linglong nodded.

Jiang Ming turned his head to look at Zi Linglong and said, “Alright, you should return to your cultivation. I will enjoy the scenery here for a while before cooking a delicious meal for you tonight.”

“Bulkah?” Zi Linglong's eyes immediately lit up.

“Of course!” Jiang Ming nodded with a smile.

“Good! I'll go cultivating now!” Zi Linglong said excitedly before he left.

After which, Jiang Ming looked the other way .. In just an instant, his gaze turned cold as a light glistened at the tips of his fingers.
