Chapter 953: Chapter 953
"Sect Master, when under the eaves, one must bow their head. Can you bear with it?"
Yao Buji hurriedly grabbed Liu Bi, thinking, damn it, you’re seeking help from others and still acting so high and mighty. No wonder no one would give you a friendly face.
"Bear with it? Even if I’m not the Sect Master of the Flowing Cloud Sect, I’m still a Six-star Martial Master. No matter where I go, I deserve respect. There’s no reason to endure this humiliation."
Liu Bi roared with an ugly expression.
Chu Batian and Tang Ming’s expressions turned odd, as if a six-star seemed like nothing to them!
"Though I don’t know how impressive a six-star is, if you’re that capable, how come the sect was taken over by the Qin Family’s people?"
Li Xiaoli questioned earnestly.
Hearing this, Liu Bi felt hurt and said through gritted teeth, "That’s because their strength is too formidable. Qin Aotian is already at the six-star peak, and both Qin Haitao and Qin Haitian are at the five-star peak. I can’t compete with them."
"Tch, after all this time, you still can’t beat them, then what right do you have to boast?"
Li Xiaoli mocked with disdain, leaving Liu Bi’s face flushed red but speechless.
"The Qin Family’s cultivation really has been advancing fast."
Tang Ming squinted his eyes, feeling a bit amazed, thinking that Chen Cang’s cultivation speed was already fast, but compared to the Qin Family, it seemed rather slow.
If he hadn’t helped Chen Cang improve his cultivation technique, Chen Cang would surely have been cruelly defeated if they both cultivated normally.
"Hahaha, Brother Tang Ming, I finally broke through."
At this moment, a strange voice echoed, then the door opened, and a gust of wind swept into the hall.
"Xiao Cang Cang, where have you been dying these half months? I was missing you!"
Upon seeing who it was, Li Xiaoli shouted excitedly.
"I was in closed-door cultivation, and finally made rapid progress."
Dressed flamboyantly, Chen Cang said proudly.
"Chen Cang, what’s your cultivation level now?"
Tang Ming glanced at Yao Buji and Liu Bi, then looked at Chen Cang curiously.
"Hahaha, I didn’t embarrass Brother Ming, I just broke through to Seven Stars."
Chen Cang immediately bragged with pride.
"Seven-star Martial Master?"
Liu Bi and Yao Buji were stunned.
Liu Bi was amazed that Tang Ming had a Seven-star Martial Master under him, while Yao Buji was utterly confused, as he previously knew Chen Cang when he was just an ordinary person, yet now he’d become a Seven-star Martial Master in just a few months, even more bizarre than the Qin Family!
Tang Ming and Chu Batian, who anticipated Chen Cang’s rapid cultivation speed, were also shocked.
After transforming the Yin Yang Holy Method, Tang Ming knew Chen Cang’s cultivation speed would improve several times over. But he hadn’t imagined this guy would elevate his cultivation from Four-star to Seven-star in half a month. This speed took him by surprise.
Chu Batian was equally astonished, though it is said students exceed their teachers, Chen Cang’s breakthrough was too rapid. Both he and Xin Badao were Seven-star Martial Masters, but Chen Cang caught up so fast. In time, these pioneers would surely be left on the beach.
"How did you cultivate so quickly?"
Yao Buji asked in disbelief.
"Thanks to the guidance from my two masters and the high-level martial arts my Brother Ming provided!"
Chen Cang boasted proudly, finally noticing Yao Buji, surprised, "Weren’t you the Qin Family’s associate back then, called what-was-it again?"
Yao Buji rolled his eyes, puzzled why Tang Ming’s people loved giving such nicknames.
"Hehe, Liu Bi Sect Master, how about my follower’s strength?"
Tang Ming grinned at Liu Bi.
"Ahem, indeed impressive." Liu Bi awkwardly coughed, bitter inside, that he dared to flaunt as a Six-star Martial Master before Tang Ming, unaware even Tang Ming’s underling was already Seven-star!
"Awesome Sect Master? What sect, in the martial arts world, is so outspoken, called Awesome Sect?"
Chen Cang became baffled, curiously examining Liu Bi and Yao Buji.
Wanting to retaliate, Liu Bi, realizing Chen Cang was now a Seven-star Martial Master, knew he would lose in a fight, so merely turned pale and changed the subject, "Mr. Tang surely knows how to manage people, having such loyal and powerful subordinates is impressive indeed, unlike my sect’s traitors, who, seeing my weakness, all turncoat."
"Haha, naturally, so you two want to be my underlings but aren’t qualified. If you wish to pledge allegiance, start by following Chen Cang."
Tang Ming smiled lightly, uninterested in Liu Bi and Yao Buji.
"Tang Ming, don’t push it too far."
Hearing this, Liu Bi couldn’t contain himself. He, the Flowing Cloud Sect’s formidable Sect Master, would never lower himself to Junior Chen Cang. Being ordered to do so was plain humiliating.
"Oh my, I thought you were a guest, turned out you’re stirring trouble."
On hearing this, Chen Cang was displeased, raising one hand elegantly and putting the other on his hip, "Come, let Sister Cang teach you proper conduct, and test my Seven-star Martial Master’s prowess."
"Sect Master, please don’t act impulsively."
Yao Buji quickly grabbed Liu Bi’s arm, advising worriedly, "Even the Seven-star Martial Master submits to Tang Ming, if things don’t work, let’s submit as well."
Liu Bi glared fiercely at Yao Buji, his words cut off as someone entered.
Xin Badao walked in, respectfully saluting Tang Ming.
"How went the arrangements?"
Tang Ming sat up, asking Xin Badao while gesturing to Liu Bi, "We can discuss your issues later, I have pressing matters now."
"Poison Boss, I’ve instructed Yan Dujiu to send disciples from Yunhai Institute to the Imperial City to take over the laboratory, everyone’s in place now, and recently I’ve been busy selecting elite female disciples from the sect to protect Miss Wei’er."
Xin Badao reported truthfully.
Seeing Tang Ming ignore him, Liu Bi was exceptionally furious, suddenly slamming his hand on the table, shattering a teacup.
"What the hell, who’s this idiot, scared the hell out of me."
Xin Badao then noticed Liu Bi, instinctively cursing.
"Who the hell are you cursing at? Want me to cripple you?"
Liu Bi stood abruptly and glared at Xin Badao.
He’d heard from Yao Buji about the two black-suited and sunglass-wearing Five-star guards with Tang Ming, assuming Xin Badao was one of them.
