104 The Expert Cultivator from the Spirit Sect 1

In reality, Ling Yu was completely guessing at Elder Yu’s powers.

Since General Luo was at the rank of a Martial General at the early stages and even he treated Elder Yu with respect, she had assumed that Elder Yu was surely stronger than him. However, since the top cultivator in Azure Dragon Country was a late stage Martial General, and Elder Yu did not share the position with him, she simply assumed that Elder Yu was weaker. This could only mean that this old fart was surely a middle stage Martial General, in her opinion.

What Ling Yu did not know was, since the Hundred Herb Hall did not belong to the Azure Dragon Country, Elder Yu would naturally not be in the ranks along with the expert cultivators within the Azure Dragon Country.

"Heh," Elder Yu was so angered he ended up smiling instead. He replied in a sharp tone, "Did you really think that I'd be afraid of you, just because you've found one single person to back your cause? Gu Ruoyun belongs to the Hundred Herb Hall and if you want to put your hands on her, you'll have to get through me first!"

"You…" Ling Yu's face turned red in anger as she glared at Elder Yu fiercely, "You damned old fart, you’re not going to live very long yourself. You’re still trying to protect that bastard even to this very moment?!"

Then, she looked around and sneered at Gu Ruoyun, "Not a single person in all of Azure Dragon Country that your mother is someone that came from nowhere! Did she snot seduce Gu Tian in her efforts to become the daughter-in-law of the Gu family? All this for the sake of status of the Gu family within the Azure Dragon Country. It makes sense that the fruit of her loins would obviously have the same morals — shameless! Gu Ruoyun has disgraced Gu Tian so much that if I were her, I would have jumped into the river a long agoto save face for my ancestors!"

Elder Yu's expression turned to an icy chill. The rage contained within his body could very much set the entire area on fire.

Of all the people Ling Yu could have chosen to insult, she just had to choose the precious jewel of the Dongfang family.

The Lady of his family was of a noble birth, while the Gu family was just the family of a mere general. If she had no love for Gu Tian, why else would she have left the Dongfang family just to marry him? However, for someone as heroic as Gu Tian, many girls admired and loved him. These girls were so jealous of his Lady who had won the love of Gu Tian, that they have even resorted to slander. In the eyes of everyone else, his Lady was a woman who had stooped to new lows using various tactics to climb into Gu Tian's bedchambers.

However, her Ladyship had always been indifferent to what the public thought of her. Regardless of how the vicious public gossiped about her, she would not even bother to explain her actions to them at all.

Rumors were terrifying. No matter how much Gu Tian tried to protect her, he was unable to stop the idle mouths of the public.

Great! Just Great!"

Elder Yu laughed out load as his enraged stare landed on Ling Yu, "Ling Yu. Not a bad name at all. Unfortunately, you're not worthy of that name and in this lifetime, there'll only be one person who will ever be worthy to carry the Yu name! You, for just having that name alone should die a thousand times over!"

Hong!

The punch of that elderly man felt like a gust of strong wind. He moved at a blinding speed to stand before Ling Yu and at the same time, the aura of a Martial King erupted from his body. His formidable aura enveloped her body, making the air so dense she was unable to breathe.

However, before Elder Yu managed to land a strike, a hand reached out and stopped his first with ease.

His black robes swayed gently in the light breeze as he stood with his entire body enveloped in an eerie darkness. He spoke eerily toward Ling Yu, "Move aside."

Ling Yu was still in a state of shock and had yet to regain her senses. Her delicate face had turned pale and cold sweat could be seen dripping down her forehead. She looked as if she had just barely managed to escape the gates of hell.

Ling Yu was still in shock and was yet to regain her senses. Her delicate little face had turned pale, and cold sweat was dripping down her forehead. She looked as if she had just escaped from the gates of hell…

"A Martial King?"

The man in black turned his gaze toward Elder Yu and smiled coldly as he said, "I didn't think that the tiny Azure Dragon Country would actually have a Martial King."
