Chapter 193 - Provocation
Ku Ming's veins in his forehead could already be seen. His two hands were balled into a fist, clenching it tightly to the point of the bones in his hands made a cracking sound. He really believed that the high elders of the Revenant Heavenly Sect were making things difficult for him. Although he could not stand being with these old foxes, how could he retaliate at all? His strength was insignificant here and unless the First Ming Ancestor himself showed, these old men were probably would not give him any face at all. In fact, maybe these people were not afraid of their Ancient Ming Clan at all! Just judging by their current disposition towards him, Ku Ming, he could deduce that this people were not putting him in their eyes.
After all, compared the Revenant Heavenly Sect to Ancient Ming Clan, the former held greater power as they have two alive Immortal Emperors while the latter only had the First Ming Ancestor as their Immortal Emperor.
"High Elder Kiru, I, Ku Ming, badly needed that Thousand-Life Lotus in order for the First Ming Ancestor's life be prolonged. If the Phixiu Ring was not enough for you to agree, then maybe an Overlord Armament would suffice the agreement?" Ku Ming took a deep breath and calmed himself before saying this. No matter what, he needed that item, whatever it takes.
However, High Elder Kiru said annoyingly, " We are no more interested in the deal. Seeing you act atrociously right in our territory has displeased all of us. To think that the Young Master of the Ancient Ming Clan, and their successor would be this low. How disappointing. I thought the Ancient Ming Clan would rise into the ranks now since they produced a good sapling who could take the huge responsibility for the clan. But it seems that I am gravely mistaken. With just your attitude alone, you are not qualified to be a successor!"
"You..." Ku Ming could not utter a single word as he was overwhelmed by the other party's words. Why would this old man be adamant of blocking his way? When did he offend him? And to humiliate to the extent of saying he's not qualified to be the next Clan Master of the Ancient Ming Clan. How infuriating!
His calmed nerves were now active again. His blood boils in rage as he gritted his white teeth in indignation.
These bastards!
Just when he was about to speak, another high elder spoke of and said, "Even the deal is not off, the Overlord Armament is not enough to capture our eyes and trade it with the Thousand-Life Lotus."
The high elder paused for a while and added, "However, if you can present us either an Immortal Armament or a Quasi-Immortal Emperor Armament, maybe we can consider the agreement again."
"How shameless of you old fox." Ku Ming's last string of patience snapped and his logical thinking was now clouded with rage as he sneered, "And you really think we have so much to spare that we would be willing to trade it for an item that could only be used once? Not to mention Quasi-Immortal Emperor Armament, even Immortal Armament, we won't give!
Truth be told, Ku Ming has an Immortal Armament in his possession. However, he was not willing to give it since that was his dear only armament! This was a gift from his parents themselves and they even fought it out with other people in an auction just to get this Immortal Armament. Thus, he held this greatly. Although he said that he would do anything in order to get the Thousand-Life Lotus, that doesn't mean that he was willing to trade his armament. That was just his very bottom line and it should never be crossed.
And for the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Armament? Those armaments were like a myth in this world. Since even an Immortal who wields an Immortal Armament would already be revered by the masses!
In fact, there might be no such armaments in the treasury of their clan. So how could these people ask for something impossible? Even they have one, they would not be willing to trade it!
"Then you have to see yourself out, Young Master Ku. We will let this slide as long as you get out of our territory right this instant." The Revenant Sect Master said with indifference. He wasn't bothered at all. After all, he already expected this result.
The high elders sneered and a flash of light appeared in their eyes.
These three elders laughed coldly in their hearts. They were once bullied by the First Ming Ancestor thousands of years ago in a competition and gravely injured them three which slowed down their pace in cultivation. Thus, these three elders might be forever stuck at the Immortal Realm, ninth stage with no chance of being an Immortal Emperor in their lives. So now that the Ancient Ming Clan has needed their aid, how could they let this opportunity to collect the debt in his descendant? After all, even the three of them joined forces, they were not a match against the First Ming Ancestor who has lived for so many years now!
Of course, they already told their sect master about this and said they could do whatever they want. They were not afraid in the slightest of a clan who only has a single Immortal Emperor holding the fort.
"See myself out?" Ku Ming's aura turned cold and glared daggers at the three high elders sitting on the front, "Do you think I won't dare to turn your clan upside down?"
"Such impudence!" High Elder Kiru sneered, "Such a haughty attitude. You are just all bark with no bite at all. With your insignificant strength of the fifth stage of the Immortal Realm, you would dare to fight us and provoke the entire Revenant Heavenly Sect? I don't know how did you produce such braveness and come cause trouble in our sect. I also don't know if you are an idiot or what."
"Young Master Ku, the moment you attack would be seen by my sect as causing trouble and hereby you will be punished according to our laws. Even if your First Ming Ancestor were to arrive, we have no choice but to show him no face since you broke our law. Besides, it's my high elders who you are against." The Revenant Sect Master smiled, "I know that you have a battle capacity of four levels above so you could fight evenly with one of my elders, but that's it. That's just your pro in this situation. If you're not sure to if you will be able to protect yourself in our territory once you attack, then consider my words carefully. See this as giving your clan a bit of face."
