The Way of The Dao

Chapter 898 (Vol 3) – Have You Already Forgotten What I Taught You?

"Brother, I told you we had to hurry to get to the capital and wait for Master! And see now what happens!" 

Ying Chen exclaimed in annoyance as his gaze fell on Sun Xiang. Ying Chen was sitting cross-legged on one side of Hao Zhentian, while the latter was sitting the same way as they both made their power flow into the helm in front of the two of them. 

"Now it's my fault?!" Sun Xiang snorted in annoyance as he listened to Ying Cheng, rolling his eyes before grimacing in disgust. 

"Well... you insisted on going to Lian Yu City and staying there for a few more days, and thanks to you we're now being chased~" Deng Tianjin added in amusement as he looked at Sun Xiang. 

Sun Xiang's expression turned grim as he heard Deng Tianjin's teasing. A vein appeared on his temple as his aura slowly surged, with obvious intent to hit Deng Tianjin. 

"What's wrong? Who are those people outside?" 

Shin Wei's somewhat lazy voice echoed across the deck as he emerged from one of the rooms. His complexion was somewhat tired, fatigue evident on his face as he covered his mouth as he couldn't help but yawn. 

"Nothing, brother, don't worry! Go back to rest to recover... it's just a few little flies." Ying Chen quickly replied, waving his hand as he willed Shin Wei to go back to rest. 

"Hmph! If it wasn't for my insistence, then we wouldn't find one of the herbs that the master had told us to look for!" Sun Xiang didn't let himself be blamed and continued to complain. 

"Yeah, but that was quick, yet you made us stay an extra day just so you could continue flirting with the Guild Mistress~" Deng Tianjin chuckled. 

"You want to fight?"

Sun Xiang smirked fiercely, taking a step towards Deng Tianjin as his aura rose a little higher. 

"That's enough you two!" 

Suddenly, Hao Zhentian's voice rang out, silencing both Sun Xiang and Deng Tianjin. He finally opened his eyes and looked at Sun Xiang, "Go fix this problem as fast as you can, remember that Master said he would catch up with us in the capital, so we can't let him wait too long!" 

"Fine..." 

Sensing Hao Zhentian's serious look, Sun Xiang pouted slightly as he felt a slight shiver in his body. 

Besides Ling Tian, Hao Zhentian was one of the few people Sun Xiang feared and respected greatly at the same time, not daring to complain to him, let alone disobey his words. 

"Brother Wei, keep recovering, we can probably reach the capital this time before our energy runs out." Hao Zhentian looked at Shin Wei, asking him to go to sleep. 

"Alright..." Shin Wei yawned again and went back to his room. He waved his hand in a carefree goodbye. 

"Remember, if you can avoid killing them, avoid it... otherwise, you know what to do..." 

Hao Zhentian looked at Sun Xiang again, meaning evident in his gaze, before closing his eyes again and concentrating on continuing to provide his power to the flying ship. 

"As long as I take care of the leader this will be over~" Sun Xiang nodded and laughed in amusement when he saw the strongest of them all, a separation and reunion realm maximum stage cultivator. 

Without a second thought, Sun Xiang suppressed his cultivation level to the nascent soul realm early stage as a somewhat mischievous laugh came out of him. 

Ying Chen and Deng Tianjin shook their heads upon seeing Sun Xiang's action. 

"What's wrong? What do you guys want?" 

Once he stepped out of the boat, Sun Xiang looked straight at the middle-aged man, arrogantly asking. His nascent soul level aura was deliberately expelled all over the sky, wanting to demonstrate his level of power with pride and arrogance. 

"Disrespectful! You dare to speak to Lord Huang like that? He is a future world powerhouse!" 

One of the men who looked to be just over 30 on the side yelled at Sun Xiang as he pointed at the separation and reunion realm maximum stage expert. His aura surged and clashed with Sun Xiang's, balancing the scales a bit as the same nascent soul power also surged from him.

"So what? Do you want me to kneel before him or what?" Sun Xiang sneered without taking any notice of what was going on, looking with an expression full of mockery and contempt at the man who had shouted at him and then at the separation and reunion realm peak expert. 

The separation and reunion realm peak expert watched Sun Xiang as he became increasingly annoyed, noticing how a mere young man in his early twenties with a nascent soul realm cultivation level did not show respect to him, a cultivator who was just a step from being at the top of the world! 

Although he was below the strongest realm in the world, he was already one of the strongest in the entire east state! 

But because his base was very unstable, causing his strength to be lower than that of a true cultivator at the separation and reunion realm maximum stage, he was still stronger than the average separation and reunion realm cultivator! 

Therefore, he needed the spiritual herb that Sun Xiang had bought from some casual cultivators in the city in order to make his cultivation base stronger and more stable and he could even hope to break through to the mighty great ascension realm! 

One of his subordinates had gotten the information of the spiritual flower by killing the salesman, and quickly flew to this place. 

However, the top expert of the separation and reunion realm watched Sun Xiang, but did not dare to make a fuss, especially when a restlessness manifested in him upon seeing Sun Xiang, pondering whether there was really something wrong or he was just imagining it. 

To have such uneasiness, it meant that Sun Xiang was stronger than him... but this young man was barely a nascent soul realm cultivator! Even one of his followers could easily kill him! 

"Do you need me to do any favors for his majesty?~" Sun Xiang sneered even more as he looked at the man, noticing that he seemed to hesitate for a moment. 

"Name your price for the Spiritual Sunflower of the Sun... I'll buy it from you!" The man looked at Sun Xiang and said seriously. 

Sun Xiang was stunned to hear him, as was everyone else watching. 

The separation and reunion realm top expert didn't care about the strange looks towards him from his subordinates. He only felt his unease rise much higher, especially when his gaze fell on the flying ship. 

Before, he had the thought of robbing and killing these people to keep this flying boat for himself, as it was a special flying device to fly long distances, something he did not have. The flying boat gave off a weak aura in the body condensation realm, so there must be an expert of that level inside the boat, and he obviously sent this young man to confront them. 

With an expert of this level, it would not be enough to cause him trouble. With a simple wave of his hand, he could crush the entire flying ship if he wanted to. 

But at this moment, the original thought of stealing the flying ship diminished and a much more terrifying uneasiness arose in him, as if some expert much stronger than him was silently watching him and waiting for him to make some move to attack. 

'Could it be some special attack from the flying ship?' 

The middle-aged expert could think of nothing else but that. Flying ships, especially those of a high mid-level, would have cannons on them, which could charge them with spiritual crystals to unleash greater power, even power comparable to the great ascension realm with enough spiritual crystals! 

But the time they would charge the cannons was not fast, so a small amount of time was needed to use it. 

"It's not for sale!" 

Sun Xiang snorted, feeling that he was no longer in the mood seeing the man's cowardly expression. He turned around and returned to the flying boat. 

"Leader, he's leaving!" 

"Boss, give the order!" 

"I'm sure we can own this flying boat!" 

The followers in the surrounding area looked at the leader in question, waiting for his words. There were more than 50 cultivators, from the nascent soul realm to the separation and reunion realm cultivators. 

Sun Xiang paused and faintly glanced at the separation and reunion realm top expert, who was obviously the leader of them all. His gaze contained indifference, but with a trace of expectation at the sight of him. 

The leader gritted his teeth and finally made a decision without waiting any longer. 

"Kill him!" 

The leader spat out with some trepidation at these words, his spirit sense had already enveloped the entire flying ship, wanting to see where the cannon was to prevent it from fully charging and avoid being shot. 

The leader's potential manifested, with his spirit sense and cultivation essence coming together and merging completely as he enveloped the flying ship. 

"I thought so~"

Sun Xiang chuckled as he watched the leader move towards the ship while the rest of them released their powerful auras as well, enveloping both him and the entire ship. 

The cultivation essence finally flowed into Sun Xiang's body, materializing out of his body. 

"You really are still so childish..." 

A completely different voice was heard clearly in the sky, mysteriously attracting everyone's attention. 

The leader stopped abruptly as unease finally erupted upon hearing this voice. A terrifying fear covered his skin as he followed the source of this voice. 

"M-master?" 

Sun Xiang was stunned when he noticed Ling Tian, who had appeared near them while he was on the flying sword. Obvious confusion arose in his gaze as he saw Yang Jing, not recognizing her. 

Ling Tian looked at Sun Xiang and let out a sigh. 

This brat was clearly playing at disguising as a pig to eat the tiger! 

Sun Xiang was silent, not knowing what to say as he felt somewhat embarrassed. Seeing Ling Tian finally, Sun Xiang couldn't help but act like a little boy again, waiting for Ling Tian's orders. 

"What are you waiting for? They already decided to take the first step... or have you already forgotten what I taught you?" Ling Tian casually remarked before heading towards the flying boat, gradually marveling as his spirit sense began to scan it. 

Sun Xiang was stunned as he listened to Ling Tian before finally grinning in amusement. 

Yang Jing turned to look at Sun Xiang, surprised to hear that he had called Ling Tian 'Master'. Yang Jing was also somewhat shocked and frightened to see so many cultivators flying in the sky as they surrounded the giant ship, without using any flying swords. 

This clearly indicated that they had all minimally reached the golden core realm! 

However, Yang Jing's pupils shrank when she suddenly saw a giant hand coming out from Sun Xiang, and then catching a middle-aged man, who had a clearly horrified expression on his face. 

* Boom! * 

The separation and reunion realm peak expert was crushed by the cultivation essence giant hand, shocking the others as terror froze them in mid-air. 

A true great ascension realm expert! 

Sun Xiang's aura rose rapidly, reaching the great ascension maximum state in seconds. 

"Looks like his majesty wasn't that powerful after all!" Sun Xiang sneered at the middle-aged man, who did not resist his strength. 

Sun Xiang finally felt better, feeling that he was in a good mood. What he liked most was to see the terrified expression of those idiots who tried to kill them by thinking that they were weak and there was no problem, so Sun Xiang would then make them feel the terror by revealing his strength at the end. This was giving them a taste of their own medicine to these bastards who thought they were superior to everyone! 

But now that Ling Tian had already arrived, Sun Xiang knew he couldn't bother with them anymore and waste time. 

Sun Xiang picked up the storage ring from the man he killed, before shooting a glance towards everyone else and disappearing from the place. 

Within two seconds, a sea of blood and pieces of flesh appeared in the sky, floating around the entire flying ship.
