Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 870 - 861: Confrontation

"Throughout the ages, the Human Clan has had no shortage of saints. While I do not deny the merits of the Divine King, so what of it?"

Tang Yongming turned his gaze toward Leng Yun and spoke, filling his cup with wine, "Even the most illustrious eventually return to dust. His children fled with him from the Ji Family, vanishing without a trace, and the Divine King Bloodline has long been extinguished in this world."

"Hmph!"

Just as Tang Yongming’s words fell, a young man across from him slapped the table and stood up, saying coldly, "The Divine King may have passed, but his renown endures. How dare you speak carelessly? Tang Yongming, you are insulting our Human Clan’s saints!"

"Insulting?"

Tang Yongming stood up, wearing a cold smile, glaring at the other person, "I’m afraid it’s not your place to judge me here."

"Both of you, calm down."

The confrontation between the two immediately made the atmosphere tense.

Leng Yun hurriedly stood up to mediate, knowing that letting the situation escalate would not bring any good, "Having everyone gathered here today is a kind of fate. Please give me a little face and let this matter rest for now?"

"Since Brother Leng has spoken, naturally, I will give face." Tang Yongming chuckled. He was the eldest son of the Tang Family, possessing cultivation at the True Immortal Realm, comparable to a Saint Heir. Among those present today, besides Tian Xinzhi, only Leng Yun could compare with him.

"Brother Zhou?"

Seeing Tang Yongming sitting down, Leng Yun’s eyes turned towards the person who had just been confronting Tang Yongming.

"Hmph!"

This person was named Zhou Fan, a genius from the ancient martial Zhou Family. In ancient times, the Zhou Family faced a great disaster, which was only resolved due to the aid of the Divine King.

Thus, upon hearing Tang Yongming’s disrespectful words about the Ji Divine King, Zhou Fan became a bit agitated and stepped forward to refute him.

After a cold snort, Zhou Fan sat down, knowing that Leng Yun was also providing him an easy way out. After all, Tang Yongming was a True Immortal Realm expert, possessing battle strength comparable to a Saint Level. If a real fight broke out, Tang Yongming could easily suppress him with a mere gesture.

As the two sat back down, the tense atmosphere gradually eased up.

However, because of this incident, it seemed to have created a gap among the people, making the conversation less casual than before.

"You mentioned earlier that the Divine King was a failure?"

Suddenly, a white-clothed young man at the back slowly put down his wine glass.

He looked over, his gaze calm as still water, and landed on Tang Yongming.

The white-clothed youth was none other than Mo Wangchen.

From the moment he arrived, Mo Wangchen had not spoken a single word, and though there had been toasts exchanged among most people, they seemed to overlook him entirely, except for Kong Chu and Tian Xinzhi, who did acknowledge him.

At this moment, though the scene was somewhat silent, Mo Wangchen’s words suddenly brought the atmosphere back to intensity.

This was supposed to be a topic left behind; who was so indiscreet to bring it up again?

All eyes quickly turned towards Mo Wangchen’s position.

"Who is this person?"

"All the talents present today are somewhat notable figures in our Xuanwu Alliance. Who is this person? He seems unfamiliar."

The crowd murmured, clearly not recognizing Mo Wangchen.

At this moment, Zhou Jing, sitting alongside Tang Yongming, had recognized Mo Wangchen from the moment he arrived but had no intention of making any disturbances here, thus choosing to ignore him.

Now, seeing Mo Wangchen speak, seemingly targeting Tang Yongming, Zhou Jing couldn’t resist fanning the flames and stoking the fire.

After all, he had always disliked Mo Wangchen, and now that Mo Wangchen was recklessly coming forth to offend Tang Yongming, how could Zhou Jing let such a good opportunity slip by?

He whispered something at Tang Yongming’s ear, and immediately, as Tang Yongming turned his gaze back to Mo Wangchen, his eyes involuntarily narrowed.

Then, Tang Yongming stood up, staring directly at Mo Wangchen for a moment, and finally said, "So you are Mo Wangchen?"

He had some acquaintanceship with Zhou Jing, and had heard a bit about Mo Wangchen’s recent happenings in Yang City.

"Mo Wangchen?"

"I’ve never heard of this name before."

"So he is Mo Wangchen, the one who offended the Flame Phoenix Saintess at the Qingyuan Auction not long ago..."

"Offended the Flame Phoenix Saintess, how could that be?" Someone remarked in surprise, having not heard of the event. freeweɓnøvel~com

A moment later, someone recounted the incident from a few days ago in brief.

Upon hearing this, surprise appeared in the eyes of the listeners, "So he is connected with Master Zhang, no wonder he came alongside Kong Chu."

"First offending Zhou Jing, then the Flame Phoenix Saintess, and now even coming out to offend Tang Yongming?"

"If this person is not arrogant, then he is ignorant, but does he think knowing Master Zhang allows him to act with impunity?" someone questioned with a frown.

In fact, Mo Wangchen’s aura wasn’t particularly strong, yet he dared to repeatedly offend so many people, and all of them were among the outstanding young generation of the Xuanwu Alliance. In the eyes of the onlookers, he was undoubtedly using his relationship with Master Zhang to flaunt his power.

"Who I am does not matter."

Amidst the clamor, Mo Wangchen also stood up, his gaze fixed on Tang Yongming.

He could tolerate anything, but he could not stand by idly while the Divine King was insulted time and again. "The important thing is that the Divine King, with his unparalleled brilliance, established great merits for the Human Clan and deserves the respect of all. Though he is no longer with us, it is not for you to freely judge him."

"Initially, I heard from Brother Zhou that a wildly arrogant person had arrived in Yang City, offending not only him but even the Flame Phoenix Saintess. Now it seems you truly are wildly arrogant."

With a cold laugh, Tang Yongming stepped forward, releasing the pressure belonging to a True Immortal Realm expert, like the weight of a mountain, threatening to crush the void, mercilessly pressing towards Mo Wangchen.

His gaze locked onto Mo Wangchen, continuing, "But arrogance requires capital, and in my view, you lack this so-called capital. Even if you are connected to Master Zhang, or even if you are his disciple, you have no right to speak to me in such a manner here."

"Boom!"

Mo Wangchen’s heart shook, his complexion changed immediately. There was no denying that Tang Yongming’s strength far surpassed his. Fortunately, he possessed a Peak Holy Rank perception, facing Tang Yongming’s pressure without showing any weakness.

"Ridiculous."

After taking a deep breath, a cold smile appeared on Mo Wangchen’s face, "Don’t mention you, even the current Family Head of the Tang Family wouldn’t dare to speak lightly of the Divine King. You call me arrogant, but frankly, compared to you, I’m far from it."
