Chapter 1195: Brother Cheng’s Disappointment
When everyone was dumbfounded, it was the people from Yidan Stream who first ’reacted’.
"Ah, I get it!"
Venerable Jinpi laughed heartily.
"Elder Jiang is mocking the other side for being useless!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
Venerable Zhengxu also shook his head humorously.
"It’s as if he’s complaining that the Thunder Tribulation from the Divine Thunder Bureau is weak..."
Their business-level understanding almost rendered Brother Cheng speechless.
Venerable Mo Rong’s face also turned sour.
"What do you mean?"
He immediately felt that Jiang Cheng was mocking him.
It’s like unleashing output for ages and causing zero damage, then being asked if he hadn’t eaten yet.
Brother Cheng quickly waved his hands.
With a smile, he explained, "You’ve misunderstood. I truly hope for a few more rounds of Thunder Tribulation, the fiercer, the better."
"Your Thunder Tribulation just now was very successful, very attentive, I’m satisfied."
"If your Divine Thunder Bureau had a review system, I would definitely give you a five-star rating!"
He spoke sincerely.
But in Venerable Mo Rong’s ears, the sense of humiliation intensified severalfold.
We clearly intended to kill you, yet you say it’s a service?
Not only did the Thunder Tribulation fail to kill you, it didn’t even take off one hair, and you dare say our Thunder Tribulation was successful, speaking of nonsensical five-star ratings?
If this isn’t mockery, what is it?
"Don’t be too excessive!"
His face immediately darkened.
"What do you take our Divine Thunder Bureau for?"
"You were lucky to survive this time, but it doesn’t mean you’ll be lucky when facing the Tribulation again in the future!"
"Next time?"
Brother Cheng’s smile faded.
He squinted his eyes: "You mean to say there’ll be no more Thunder Tribulation this time?"
No need for Venerable Mo Rong to respond, other Pill Masters around helped answer.
"Of course not!"
"A type of Thunder Tribulation can only strike once, it can’t be repeated."
"Unless they summon a Thunder Tribulation of Daoist Venerable Level, but such a tribulation is beyond his control..."
Upon hearing this piece of knowledge, Brother Cheng was caught off guard and disappointed.
After all, this guy had little value left.
Because Jiang Cheng had just helped defuse the situation, Venerable Mo Rong was still brimming with confidence and anger.
"Everyone, clear out, this is absurd!"
"If you dare block us again, don’t blame our Divine Thunder Bureau for being ruthless..."
Before he finished, a duster swung face-first.
The countless white threads cascaded like waterfalls, gently fluttering.
The first to attack were fifty Profound Patterns!
"How dare you..."
Venerable Mo Rong, filled with shock and rage, reacted quickly, urging his Origin to defend.
But soon after, Jiang Cheng’s Ice Origin, comparable to Daoist Venerable strength, appeared behind him.
Now Jiang Cheng has become skilled in this tactic.
Using Profound Patterns first to disrupt, creating the effect of simultaneous pinning by dozens of Celestial Venerables.
Then, the Ice Origin as the finishing blow.
Boom!
Venerable Mo Rong was struck directly, and his entire body exploded open, turning into countless ice flakes scattered around!
The two Ninth-grade Celestial Venerables from the Divine Thunder Bureau nearby then just snapped out of it.
"You..."
"No..."
They barely uttered a single word before Jiang Cheng swiftly and decisively took them out.
No other choice, if even the Supreme is swiftly killed, how could the Celestial Venerable withstand?
At this level, in front of Brother Cheng now, they were insignificant.
The duster retracted; everything that just happened seemed like an illusion.
Brother Cheng perched the duster on his elbow, stroked the nonexistent long beard on his chin, and then let out a feigned, sorrowful sigh.
"Alas, I intended to collaborate with you on Thunderfall long-term, but you couldn’t manage it."
"Just the lightning without after-sales service, forcing my hand, isn’t it futile?"
The surrounding others were already dumbstruck.
Even Yan Yi, who had seen Jiang Cheng kill Venerable Shang Lian, was equally stupefied.
Bro, what are you doing?
Weren’t you just magnanimously helping them out?
Saying they weren’t intentional, merely following protocol...
Then, in the blink of an eye, you killed them, what’s this about?
She refused to believe Jiang Cheng killed for nothing more than their failure to summon further Thunder Tribulations.
As for the Pill Masters beside him, they were all frightened silly.
"This, this... Elder Jiang, why did you kill them?"
"Weren’t we supposed to notify the Law Enforcement Department to arrest them?"
"Reasonable became unreasonable now..."
"What to do now, after all, Venerable Mo Rong was also a Seventh-grade Immortal Official!"
They were still unaware of the prior killing of Fifth-grade Venerable Shang Lian.
So... It felt too sudden, they were utterly unprepared.
Killing an Immortal Official recklessly is a colossal affair to anyone in the Celestial Palace.
"It’s over, over, you acted too impulsively!"
Even the Pill Masters Qing Huan and Qing Ling from the Ancient Immortal Realm panicked.
After all, killing an Immortal Official equates to opposing the entire Celestial Palace.
"Shouldn’t we quickly flee here, to avoid the trouble?"
"Going to the Land of Dao Extinction is better; we can come back once the event calms down..."
The few Third Grade Immortal Officials from Purification Pill Stream frowned and, after a moment’s thought, suggested: "How about our Celestial Pill Department collectively petitions to spare Elder Jiang, so it may only result in severe punishment, not execution?"
Others chimed in.
"Yes, we should petition together!"
They truly didn’t want to see Jiang Cheng die.
Presenting Dao in three months had raised the entire Celestial Pill Department’s level collectively, showcasing his immense importance.
They still had many alchemical difficulties to consult Jiang Cheng about.
Seeing these people defending him so much, Brother Cheng, although knowing he’d be fine, had no choice but to accept their plea.
"I accept your sentiments."
This brother pounded his chest, deliberately wearing a grand look: "But one should take responsibility alone, so I will shoulder it myself, how could I drag everyone down with me?"
His words touched many Pill Masters.
Look at what a noble person he is.
Previously, some thought he was vile until his alchemic prowess changed their views.
They were filled with camaraderie and loyalty, while the distant Divine Thunder Bureau was in chaos.
When the Celestial Pill Department surrounded Venerable Mo Rong, the Divine Thunder Bureau higher-ups saw the scene through special means.
At the time, they were not anxious internally.
After all, the Pill Masters were merely causing a stir, which when brought to the Law Enforcement Department, King Lv would also favor the Divine Thunder Bureau.
Ultimately, it wouldn’t cause any major issues.
Especially with Jiang Cheng’s few exculpatory remarks, which made them elated, even mocking him as a coward on the spot, proving that he was indeed afraid of the Divine Thunder Bureau.
Then they witnessed Jiang Cheng swiftly killing three Immortal Officials.
Everything happened too suddenly.
Not to mention they weren’t on-site, even if they were, they’d be caught off guard.
The entire upper echelon of the Divine Thunder Bureau was first shocked mute, then furious!
"Bold beyond belief!"
"Absolutely outrageous!"
"This cannot be forgiven!"
Fan Lei Daoist Venerable was the first to rush out.
