Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 122: Speaking More Than Usual

Just as he moved his first step, one of the guys couldn’t help but speak.

"Are you blind? You think others moved away for you? A weakling like you, hiding behind a mask, doesn’t deserve this treatment. Move away, you coward."

Others also chuckled at this comment. The cultivators from the Azure Sky Sect didn’t say anything; they simply waited behind Jiang Hao with amused expressions.

Jiang Hao stopped and looked toward the guy who had spoken. He wasn’t from any sect Jiang Hao recognized.

Although he would normally ignore such comments and wouldn’t even act against them once they left the safe zone, this one wasn’t something he would let pass.

Jiang Hao hated two types of people the most. First, those who thought the world revolved around them and were too full of themselves, just like the personal disciple of the sect master of the Mountain Sword Sect.

And second, those who wagged their tails for the strong people like loyal dogs, even if they had no real connection.

He didn’t attack because he didn’t know how the safe zone worked.

"Amusing. A loyal dog is happy after barking for his master."

While saying that sentence, Jiang Hao turned around and looked toward the group of the Azure Sky Sect.

"You all should bring leashes with you. There are many loyal dogs in this world who want you to become their master. Like this one—give him some reward for wagging his tail, will you?"

Others became stunned. Even the cultivators of the Azure Sky Sect were taken aback.

The guy who had spoken turned red-faced. No matter what, Jiang Hao’s words stung deeply. Those who had laughed also felt shame inside; their laughter wasn’t any better—it was also merely for the appeasement of the Azure Sky Sect.

Jing Tian and the others were surprised. They never thought Jiang Hao would reply. After all, he always acted mute. Not to mention, the reply was quite satisfying to hear.

"You sure can talk big. How about removing your mask so we can see who you are?"

It was said by the guy who had spoken first. He was already feeling quite ashamed, so he wanted to get even with Jiang Hao.

"Ohh... don’t worry. You can think of this mask as my real face for time being. No matter where I go, inside the city or outside it, it will always be on my face like it is a part of me, unless i really felt like removing it that is. "

"Excuses—"

"Shut up. If you want, then let’s go outside this road. It’s not far."

The guy became stunned and gritted his teeth but didn’t answer. The simple reason was that he was afraid.

"See, you can’t. A dog should act like a dog."

Jiang Hao had truly spoken a lot today. If not for the safe zone, he would have killed this guy directly without even responding. But that wasn’t an option today.

The cultivators from the Azure Sky Sect didn’t say anything. In their eyes, these guys were like bugs—they were merely enjoying the show.

But they also took note of Jiang Hao. If they encountered this person outside, they would definitely kill him. They had an image to maintain right now. They were righteous cultivators, after all. They just hoped he kept his words of not removing his mask, so they could identify him easily.

Jiang Hao looked at the guy who had backed down after he made the offer and said,

"You can even ask your masters for help. I don’t mind."

This statement stunned others even more.

Finally, one of the cultivators from the Azure Sky Sect spoke.

"Friend, why are you getting so angry? Let it pass. People sometimes make comments without thinking."

Jiang Hao looked toward the cultivator who had spoken. He smiled a little and said,

"Ahh... the mask of righteousness, how deep. I hope you haven’t even fooled yourselves into believing your own lies."

This statement made everyone’s jaw drop. This guy really didn’t know what was good for him.

"Hahahah... well said, senior."

Jing Tian laughed out loud.

Everyone’s attention turned to him, even the cultivators from the Azure Sky Sect looked at him. They even recognized him.

"Jing Tian?"

The cultivator from the Azure Sky Sect who had spoken to Jiang Hao addressed him.

"Ohh... you recognize me? Too bad I don’t. That means you all aren’t even in the top ten of your sect, yet you’re acting like some mighty figures."

"It’s not that we act like mighty figures. People just assume we are."

"Che... don’t call them people, then. Senior just gave them quite a good name—loyal dogs. Just use that."

"Senior, huh... Never heard that the Starlight Zenith Order had someone better than you in Core Formation. Or is this guy your hidden genius that no one knows about?"

"Maybe. A mere unknown cultivator like you has no right to know anyway."

"Unknown? Well, whatever makes you feel better."

Jiang Hao started moving toward the gates again. He already knew that these righteous bastards wouldn’t get into conflict with him in front of so many cultivators, but it didn’t matter. They would definitely want to kill him later. This saved him the trouble of finding them himself.

Jing Tian stopped speaking and looked toward Jiang Hao, who was approaching the gates. Although he had just sided with him because he liked the way he treated those bastards, he still wanted to see him fail to enter the city.

Jiang Hao reached the gate, and the next step of his would place him inside the barrier. Nobody spoke this time. They had already learned their lesson.

Jiang Hao didn’t hesitate and placed his leg inside the barrier.

The barrier didn’t react, and Jiang Hao passed through easily.

Jing Tian was stunned to the core. He really couldn’t believe his eyes. No, he didn’t want to believe them.

"How?"

He just spoke mindlessly.

"You sure that you weren’t mistaken before?"

Yu Yan spoke to him.

"There’s no way. You can ask Baofeng yourself."

When the wolf heard this, he nodded toward Yu Yan.

She sighed and said,

"I don’t know what you guys felt, but this guy definitely isn’t a Soul Sea realm cultivator. The proof is in front of you. There’s no way he would have crossed the barrier otherwise."

Jing Tian calmed himself. Was Baofeng really wrong? Definitely not. Even he had felt some fear at that time. He didn’t know why. Was it some kind of trick? He shook his head.

Maybe it was just a bluff to scare them. Originally, this guy might really not be so strong.

His face turned red. He had been calling this guy ’senior’ the whole time. If others from his sect found out, they would definitely make fun of him. And given junior sister Yu’s personality, she would surely do it to mock him. Dammit.

"That expression... I know what you are thinking, and believe me—you are right. Senior... hahaha."

Yu Yan said while laughing.

"Whatever," Jing Tian spoke and hurriedly walked toward the gate before these bastards could enter. He had to see how strong Jiang Hao truly was, one way or another.

Yu Yan and the others followed too. They entered the gates easily as well.

They simply had to show their blood contract imprints to pass through the barrier.

After crossing the barrier, Jiang Hao finally saw what this city looked like. The barrier wasn’t transparent but yellow in color, making it impossible to see through.

The first thought that came to his mind was that it was quite spacious. There were some buildings made of stone, but they weren’t large. In comparison to them, the streets were far wider than any city he had seen till now.

The structure of the buildings was also quite different. There were many pillars throughout the whole city, with the largest one at the center.

He didn’t know how many cultivators were present in this safe zone city, but given his speed, most of those who were nearby must have arrived by now.

Now that he had entered the city, he had to find out what to do next. Since this was a safe zone, some cultivators might stay here for the whole six months and cultivate in this dense spirit qi environment.

These cultivators hadn’t come here for extraordinary opportunities. They were content with the bare minimum, as long as they were alive and safe from harm.

So basically, this city must have houses for them to stay in. And these stone houses that he could see must be those.

But their gates were open, which meant all these houses he could see were vacant. Only one or two seemed to be occupied.

As he was thinking, Jing Tian arrived beside him. The others also crossed one by one.

Jing Tian looked at Jiang Hao, who still didn’t pay him any attention. He hesitated a little but still spoke.

"Sen—cough, fellow friend, you sure have tricks up your sleeve. I was so sure you were in the Soul Sea realm."

Jiang Hao came out of his thoughts and looked toward him.

"Again, who said that?"

Jing Tian didn’t know how to respond. Surely Jiang Hao hadn’t said anything about it. He had assumed everything because Baofeng got scared of Jiang Hao, so it really was his fault.

Jiang Hao had said something similar outside the city, but he hadn’t believed him.
