Chapter 355: Chapter 350: Afraid of Hurting You

"Very well, it’s decided then."

Ye Lingtian made a gesture of invitation.

"Brother Xiao, do you think we should compete now, or wait until after the meal?"

Everyone smiled in silence; they thought to themselves that Ye Lingtian was making sure he wouldn’t lose out either way.

Xiao Fei had said that he and Yan Rufeng were like brothers, so even if Ye Lingtian lost and had to call Xiao Fei "dad," it wouldn’t be much of a loss.

If Ye Lingtian won against Xiao Fei, then he would gain greatly. After all, Xiao Fei was both the Alliance Hierarch of the interstellar alliance and the King of Dragon Origin Country—holding two major positions. Having such a great figure as a subordinate would be something Ye Lingtian could boast about for a long time...

Xiao Fei smiled politely.

"The sooner the better, let’s do it now."

"Great!"

Ye Lingtian was the first to leave the banquet hall. Xiao Fei chuckled and followed closely behind.

Seeing this, everyone else lost interest in dining and followed the two to see who would win...

Yan Rufeng sighed helplessly, thinking that even a meal couldn’t be eaten in peace. He followed Ye Lingtian and Xiao Fei as well...

The breeze rustled gently, the mountain flowers bloomed riotously.

Surrounded by mountains, steep and rolling, verdant and lush—on a hillside, Ye Lingtian stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a faint look of disdain.

Xiao Fei, calm and composed, stood before Ye Lingtian with one hand behind his back, smiling as he spoke: "Lingtian, competing here won’t be satisfying enough. How about we go off-world? What do you think?"

"Heh!"

Ye Lingtian chuckled: "Then let’s meet off-world!"

"Whoosh~"

A streak of light flashed, and Ye Lingtian disappeared.

Xiao Fei shook his head, rising into the air and heading off-world.

The crowd trailing behind them started grumbling.

Wen Tong muttered, "That Ye Lingtian, always stirring up trouble. Ruined a perfectly good banquet. Why is he so fond of fighting?"

"Heh!"

Liu Ping’er laughed: "Our Rufeng’s disciple Ye Lingtian is forceful wherever he goes. Seems like this time the Alliance Hierarch of the interstellar alliance, Xiao Fei, is going to lose..."

"Haha..."

Zhao Wuji laughed heartily: "Ye Lingtian is worthy of being one of my military men—he’s got character, I like it..."

"Whoosh~"

A streak of light flashed as Zhao Wuji chased after Ye Lingtian. Soon after, Wen JiaRen and Lu Mingliang also flew off-world...

Yan Rufeng could only shake his head helplessly, muttering to himself: "Since they’ve gone off-world, there’s no need to watch this battle. Ye Lingtian will surely win..."

In the void, clad in green, Xiao Fei smiled: "Lingtian, since your cultivation is lower than mine, go ahead and make the first move."

"Heh!"

Ye Lingtian chuckled.

"Xiao Fei, I fear I might lose control and injure you if I make the first move. I have no intention of attacking you."

"Oh!"

Xiao Fei smiled faintly and said: "Ye Lingtian, you’re confident, but unless you make a move, we’ll never determine the winner."

Ye Lingtian pointed into the distance and said softly: "Xiao Fei, see those two uninhabited planets over there?"

Xiao Fei followed Ye Lingtian’s gaze and smiled: "Ye Lingtian, what do you intend to do?"

Ye Lingtian smiled: "Let’s see who can blow up one of the planets first. How about that?"

"Haha!"

Xiao Fei laughed heartily: "Ye Lingtian, you must know that in the Mortal Domain, only Ascended Immortals can blow up a planet. We, in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, are far from capable of that."

"Heh!"

Ye Lingtian showed a faint look of disdain.

"Xiao Fei, since you think it’s impossible, you’ve already lost."

"Oh."

Xiao Fei chuckled: "Ye Lingtian, if you can blow up one of those planets, not only will I admit defeat, but I’ll also acknowledge you as my elder brother. How about that?"

Ye Lingtian smiled faintly and said: "Brother Xiao, I am definitely going to be your big brother."

With that, a bright light flashed, and Ye Lingtian disappeared from sight.

A short while later, Xiao Fei saw a dazzling light in the distant void, followed by a thunderous roar that echoed across the heavens and earth.

"Boom..."

In the distance, that planet suddenly exploded.

In an instant, a streak of light shot towards Xiao Fei at high speed. When the light dissipated, Ye Lingtian appeared before Xiao Fei.

"Brother Xiao, didn’t you say only Ascended Immortals could blow up a planet?"

Xiao Fei looked incredulous and exclaimed: "Blowing up a planet in an instant—how, how did you do it?"

Ye Lingtian looked disdainful: "Brother Xiao, don’t worry about how I did it. Now you’d better fulfill your promise and acknowledge me as your big brother."

Xiao Fei said no more and cupped his hands: "Little brother Xiao Fei greets Elder Brother Ye."

"Haha..."

Ye Lingtian laughed heartily.

At this moment, the crowd that had followed Ye Lingtian saw this scene and was utterly bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

Zhao Wuji stepped forward, puzzled: "Comrade Lingtian, is your competition over?"

Ye Lingtian smiled: "Marshal Zhao, Brother Xiao has acknowledged me as his elder brother, so our competition has naturally concluded."

"Haha!"

Wen JiaRen laughed heartily at this: "Comrade Lingtian, you did not let us down indeed."

Lu Mingliang smiled but remained silent, thinking to himself: "When Comrade Rufeng brought Ye Lingtian into the military, he was still an ignorant boy. It’s hard to believe that in just a few years, his progress has been so tremendous. The Innate Taoist Body is truly extraordinary..."

After paying their respects to Zhao Wuji, Wen JiaRen, and Lu Mingliang with a military salute, Ye Lingtian took them back to the banquet hall in Hua Country on Canglong Star.

Yan Rufeng, upon learning of Ye Lingtian’s victory, announced an exciting piece of news during the banquet.

Yan Rufeng said: "Everyone, I, Yan Rufeng, will soon ascend to the Immortal World with Blood Slaughter. Currently, Xiao Fei finds it a bit overwhelming to maintain order in the Mortal Domain Cultivation World alone."

Yan Rufeng paused and continued: "To ensure that everyone in the Mortal Domain can ascend to the Immortal World smoothly, I now appoint Ye Lingtian as the Vice Alliance Hierarch of the interstellar alliance to assist Xiao Fei in maintaining order in the Mortal Domain."

The entire banquet hall erupted in smiles and applause upon hearing Yan Rufeng’s words.

The applause thundered on and on.

Yan Rufeng waved his hand, signaling for everyone to quiet down.

After the banquet hall quieted down, Yan Rufeng spoke again: "Lingtian, come here."

Ye Lingtian walked over and stood respectfully in front of Yan Rufeng.

Yan Rufeng spoke earnestly: "Lingtian, from now on, you will not only be the Vice Alliance Hierarch of the interstellar alliance in the Carefree Universe, Mortal Domain; after I ascend to the Immortal World, you will also take on the role of King of Hua Country on Canglong Star. Do you have the confidence to maintain the order of the entire Cultivation World?"

Ye Lingtian, with a solemn expression, stood tall and responded loudly: "Master, please rest assured. I will always take maintaining the order of the entire Cultivation World as my duty, fulfilling my mission, so that every cultivator in the Mortal Domain can ascend to the Immortal World smoothly and achieve the supreme Dao!"

Yan Rufeng nodded in satisfaction and smiled: "Very good..."
