Chapter 874: Huaxia’s Strength
Chapter 874: Huaxia’s Strength
Before the Huaxia Elder could even finish his words, one of the 'visiting' guys seemed to have been angered, and gotten impatient, as he didn't immediately send a probing pressure toward the Huaxia Elder.
It was a sneak attack, and a quite unexpected one at that, as neither side would want for this to end up in a full blown battle, but the Huaxia Elder didn't seem bothered by the pressure.
"What is the meaning of this!?"
Even though he didn't seem perturbed by the pressure, his face still darkened quite a bit and turned ugly as he asked with a scary and threatening tone.
Each and every one of these old fogies understood just what was going on, and it was precisely due to that, that they were all acting their part perfectly.
The foreigners wanted to check up on the remaining strength of the Huaxia Elders, while the Huaxia Elder were trying to put a strong front and frighten the visitors a bit.
At least, they needed to show that Huaxia hadn't fallen, and even if the powerhouses in front dared to show their teeth and attack, then they would follow with everything they had.
Well, it was a bit weird to say the Huaxia Elders, as these were nothing but mere puppets under the control of Tianlong Yun.
To be more accurate, Tianlong Yun's plan was to normalize the situation and lay low for some time, he didn't want unnecessary attention on Huaxia before he had taken the full country under control.
While the center had been completely taken over, the lower levels and those far away from the capital had yet to come under his control.
For a house to be indestructible, it first needs to be fully united and compact. Only like that would he be able to contend for power beyond the country.
With these thoughts in mind, he was making a stand for his country, while not going overboard at the same time, but that arrogant fogie got on his nerves.
Even though he understood that whatever was happening was nothing else but the good cop, bad cop routine, he still didn't like this bad cop.
That was because he could easily tell that this guy wasn't just merely acting the bad cop, he was one! In fact, he was a son of a gun, the wretched aura of his soul was enough of testimony for Tianlong Yun.
But no matter how much he hated this bastard, he couldn't try to kill him seriously, as he could only express his displeasure through his voice and words.
"I am merely showing a dog his place! What, are you discontent!?"
Tianlong Yun knew that this was just blatant provocation from the bastard, to find out whether Huaxia dared to attack them or not, and he also understood he should let his rotten mouth run.
But he didn't like it in the least, he didn't like the way this old bastard was acting, so he decided to go an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth,
"Can someone translate me what he said, I regretfully admit that I can't talk the dogs' language at all!"
While the foreigners' faces went fully startled and shocked, the other Huaxia fogies had slight smirks on their faces, as if agreeing and applauding their brethren's words.
This was most certainly a surprising reaction because normally these Huaxia Elders would only treat the insults, curses, and offenses of the foreigners as water under the bridge.
They would be laying low and bidding their time, so experiencing this sudden change was certainly startling and shocking for these foreigners.
Especially for the guy that was the receiver of those words, he couldn't comprehend for a moment that his insult had actually been reflected on the same coin.
"Yoouuu"
"Tsk, tsk, tskk You better think wisely about your next word old thing or you might regret it!
In my opinion, for your organizations to fight those Justice League guys, and the EITS is already a big burden, I am sure that you don't want my country as an enemy as well, right!?"
Hearing the words of the Huaxia Elder in charge, the old man could open his mouth but no words were coming out.
He had never thought that he would be humiliated like this when he was on the way, and even worse he couldn't even retort due to the current situation.
"Heheheh~! Come on, there is no need to be so serious and harsh just for a little joke everyone!
With our ages and cultivations, we have long thrown away the shackles of the mortal world and are standing at the peak of this planet.
It's not proper etiquette behaving like this, don't you agree Elder Po!?"
Since the bad cop had been cornered to the wall, it was time for the good cop to diffuse the situation and continue with his purpose of the 'visit'.
"Elder Snake is extremely correct, there is no need for these childish games, if you want to know about our strength then you can just ask us!
We will surely not disappoint you!"
With that said, the Elder in charge of the Huaxia camp immediately spread the pressure on his cultivation and strength.
In order to make his puppet look even more terrifying, Tianlong Yun made sure to even mix a bit of the Ferocity Law in the pressure and pretend that this was the reason for the change in their attitudes.
Just like he expected the moment that the three Elders of the opposite camp sensed the pressure, and the Law Principles hid in there, they couldn't help but get more solemn and serious.
They had come here with the intention to find out whether Huaxia could still hold to their borders and country.
If they couldn't, then the three of them would do their best to become the new owners of the country.
Unfortunately, not only had that become impossible, but they also found out that the opponent was much scarier than before.
Just like the Elder in charge of the Huaxia camp said, they couldn't afford to add Huaxia to the list of their enemies, at least not before the Justice League and EITS were taken care of.
At that moment, all three foreign fogies were of the same line of thought, and that was to put a temporary stop to their intentions.
"Heheheh~! What a pleasant surprise this is, it seems like Elder Po has actually managed to gaze upon the next Realm. This is truly a piece of great surprise news for our little Planet.
Soon, we will have another shepherd to protect us from the outside world! Truly a piece of magnificent news!"
While he seemed to be laughing, praising, and incomparably happy about the news, he was in fact hiding extremely dark and wretched emotions inside his heart.
"Heheheh~! Elder Snake surely knows how to praise a lot for such a small achievement! This seat knows he has still a long way to go Elder Snake, you don't have to overpraise me like this.
It makes this Seat feel a bit overwhelmed!"
He wasn't trying to mock the fogie in front of him, as that was his real nickname in their world, the world of cultivators and superbeings.
But while he was acting all humble and was saying those words that seemed like he was trying to understate his achievements, he still dared to address himself as this seat, in front of those three.
This was the same as praising someone for their character, strength, and qualities, while shitting on top of his head, literally.
Still, the three foreign fogies didn't dare to say something about it, as they were now in an extremely disfavorable situation, and they could only swallow their anger and rage at that moment.
"Heheheeh~! Elder Po is truly as humble and outstanding as always, it makes this old man feel ashamed upon comparison.
If I had known that something like this had actually happened, then this old man wouldn't have embarrassed himself like this and brought you a congratulatory gift!"
"Oh, you don't have to worry about something like that Elder Snake! After all, you came here in a hurry just to visit these old Masters, so how could you know of such a matter!
In fact, I would like to invite you to our abode so that we could discuss and compare notes, but the situation isn't exactly good down there, so we can only leave for some other time!
Furthermore, with the situation that you are in right now, I am sure that you need every coin you find to pay for the 'war'!"
Elder Snake had received his nickname and his title due to his intelligence and superiority in talking and dealing with other experts.
He was one of those guys with a golden tongue, that would be able to convince people that the sun rose from the West, and not from the East.
Yet, such a personage was not only being humiliated by someone like Elder Po but was even close to being taken advantage of.
Normally it was Earthlings who should fear provoking and suffering under this old fogie, yet right now he was being played around with.
Even if he couldn't afford to worsen the relationship between their organizations and Huaxia, he still had no intention of letting this old bastard in front of him take advantage of him.
"Haiz~! Elder Po is right, at the moment every coin is going towards the 'war' against the demons that want to destroy peace!
After all, with our great power come great responsibility. Even if we don't wish to claim fame, a lot of people take us as their guardians!
Unfortunately"
