Stronger from Earth

"My brother-in-law is an Immortal Martial True Inheritance!" Zhu Fei was both angry and annoyed. "You idiot, don’t you understand?"

You must know that in the entire Immortal Martial Mountain, there are only about a hundred True Disciples, each one carefully selected.

The entire population of Earth Civilization has reached trillions, with only over twenty Immortals, so their True Disciples are naturally quite rare.

Hongze didn’t even bother to listen. This guy had repeated the term True Disciple dozens of times. Isn’t it annoying?

Behind him, aren’t all the little rascals just little rascals? Even so, he still scolds them when needed.

"Oh, a True Disciple." Hongze walked up to Zhu Fei and slapped him.

The slap was quick and decisive. Zhu Fei didn’t even react before his Protective Pill Qi was broken, and his already chubby cheek immediately swelled like a big dumpling.

The raised cheek brought piercing pain, making Zhu Fei exceedingly angry. All these years, when had he ever been so humiliated?

"Damn guy!" Zhu Fei gleamed with a golden light all over his body. Somehow, he was already in a Treasure Armor, wielding a treasure saber of Earth-tier Celestial Treasure.

He was about to make a move, but two massive fists suddenly landed on his chest. Amidst excruciating pain and numbness, he flew back dozens of meters.

The protective armor shattered into pieces, littering the ground, and the saber in his hand was likewise broken into four or five segments.

Being instantly defeated, Zhu Fei finally realized that the other party wasn’t the least bit afraid of him.

He had always underestimated his opponent.

The dozen little rascals behind the door came rushing out, clapping their hands in celebration. "Senior brother is amazing. He defeated that fat pig with one punch!"

They really wanted to know how beautiful such a fat pig’s sister could be to receive such care from a True Disciple of Immortal Martial Mountain.

Hongze said from the side, "Remember this, if you have such relatives and friends, you must not let them hold high positions, and you must not indulge them!"

Even one Zhu Fei could ruin the reputation of the Martial Arts Hall and Immortal Martial True Inheritors. A few more, and who knows how many atrocities might be committed.

The little rascals nodded in agreement, "We got it!"

If a True Disciple of Immortal Martial had such relatives outside, they would be furious.

Zhu Fei shook his blubber, stood up, and stared blankly at Hongze.

He gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you really a guest of Immortal Martial Mountain? Do you not understand the weight of a True Disciple?"

Hongze stepped forward, grabbed him, and struck Zhu Fei until his nose was bruised and his face swollen.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

Smack! Smack! Smack!

After a continuous rain of slaps, Zhu Fei was beaten until blood flowed, his face almost unrecognizable.

Yet Hongze still didn’t stop. Since he dared to offend his teacher’s wife, it was already merciful of him not to send Zhu Fei to the Eighteen Layers of Hell.

Listening to the smack of slaps, Zhu Xin, lying on the ground, played dead even more convincingly, not daring to open his eyes or rescue his second uncle.

The elders of the Sea City base, along with Zhang Wan, quietly retreated. They didn’t want to get involved in a fight between divine beings.

If they accidentally got blood on themselves, would they not feel wronged?

Besides, Zhu Fei, a person worthy of a thousand deaths, deserved the lesson. If he were removed, it would be a cause for universal celebration.

Zhu Fei was beaten like a dead dog, unable to resist at all.

Even in such a situation, he didn’t forget that his brother-in-law was a True Disciple of Immortal Martial Mountain and once again flaunted this connection.

"My brother-in-law is, is Luo... Tiansha, Luo Tiansha! I’m his... brother-in-law!"

He was stammering, his tone no longer as arrogant and domineering as before, even tinged with a bit of pleading.

"Luo Tiansha?" Hongze raised an eyebrow. He had heard of that senior uncle.

No matter which third-generation disciple’s brother-in-law did such things, if they dared to face Master Wang Xuan, they would be in trouble.

Hearing him mention his brother-in-law’s name, Hongze paused his attack, giving Zhu Fei a feeling that his brother-in-law’s name was worth something after all.

His brother-in-law, a third-generation disciple, had long achieved the rank of Celestial Immortal, recently in closed cultivation, aiming for the True Immortal position.

Once he achieves True Immortal status, he is bound to be a distinguished figure in Earth’s civilization in the future. Who wouldn’t give him some face?

"Indeed, my brother-in-law... is Luo Tiansha! I’m his, his brother-in-law!" Zhu Fei proclaimed proudly with his pig-headed face.

But to his surprise, Hongze paused only for two seconds before starting to beat him again, showing no mercy.

Zhu Fei figured it must be because his brother-in-law had been in seclusion too long; outsiders hadn’t heard his name.

Or maybe his brother-in-law’s prolonged seclusion made outside wolves and tigers fearless enough to bully him.

He didn’t notice that among the dozen little rascals, two who had been laughing and watching the fun shivered with anger when hearing him mention Luo Tiansha’s name.

Luo Tiansha was their dear master-uncle.

"Senior brother, no need for you to act; we’ll take over!"

That said, a young boy and girl rolled up their sleeves and approached with gritted teeth, throwing punches and kicks while cursing.

"You scoundrel, you ruined the reputation of our master-uncle!"

"You dare to pretend under Immortal Martial Mountain’s name, causing trouble everywhere? If the master knew, he’d skin you alive!"

Earlier, they had been eating words, wondering whose relative was embarrassing themselves like this before fellow disciples.

Little did they expect they were eating gossip about their master-uncle.

Thinking of their senior brother, junior brother, and Master Uncles Wang Xuan and Chen Qingniu present, they were thoroughly embarrassed.

Shameful, utterly shameful!

They beat him relentlessly, anyway, with the Earth Immortal’s strong life force, he wouldn’t die in two or three days. Since he wouldn’t die, they’d beat him to death, metaphorically speaking.

"Stop!"

A voice like a meteor’s whistle flew in from afar, instantly landing before them.

The man wore a long robe, had a black beard, and held a duster, looking anxious at the moment.

"Stop, his brother-in-law is a True... True Disciple."

Seeing Hongze’s face, his voice immediately waned, not daring to say more.

Seeing the ones beating Zhu Fei were actually Luo Tiansha’s legitimate master-nephews, he was left speechless.

"Who are you?" Hongze squinted and examined the man.

Luo Tianyang quickly replied, "I am Luo Tianyang, a guest of Immortal Martial Mountain, a cousin of Luo Tiansha."

The Luo Family was already a prominent local family; with Luo Tiansha becoming an Immortal Martial True Inheritor, their influence grew. As a cousin, Luo Tianyang achieved the Divine Infant stage and took on Sea City’s defense duties.

"Oh." Hongze nodded indifferently, asking, "This pig head is running rampant in Sea City; are you the one covering for him?"

Luo Tianyang shook his head repeatedly. He couldn’t afford to bear this black pot, or he might face a deadly end today.

"If that’s the case, then summon Luo Tiansha. My master wants to see him." Hongze said expressionlessly.

Hearing this, Luo Tianyang’s heart trembled: "Which master is looking for Luo Tiansha?"

The Taoist was in Sea City? Knowing this, Zhu Fei would surely lead a cautious life. Yet who would have guessed he’d bump into the Taoist?

Zhu Fei was doomed, beyond rescue.

For a while, silence reigned, only filled with Zhu Fei’s groans and the sound of two people punching in shame and fury.

"Alright, throw these two aside." Lin Cheng’s voice came from the villa.

Time flew by, and soon enough, a figure abruptly appeared, none other than Zhu Fei’s brother-in-law.

"Help, help me," Zhu Fei said, his front teeth whistling with air.

Luo Tiansha had rushed over; seeing Zhu Fei, he was both ashamed and urgent, cursing angrily, "You scoundrel!"

At that moment, he truly wished to skin Zhu Fei alive for causing so much trouble, even offending the Taoist, utterly deserving death without end.

Luo Tiansha stood at the door, bowed in apology, and said ashamedly, "Luo Tiansha comes to plead guilty. My disciple’s offenses are unforgivable. Please, Taoist, handle the matter."

Immortal Martial Mountain had strict rules. When taking an apprenticeship, one must follow their conscience and swear never to betray the Human Race or harm Earth’s civilization.

Now, with his brother-in-law causing so many troubles and himself supporting Zhu Fei’s rise, Luo Tiansha was deeply ashamed at this moment.

Wang Xuan returned to his senses, walked up to Luo Tiansha, and said indifferently, "Rise."

He casually glanced at Zhu Fei, reached out, and extracted a mysterious and strange desire from Zhu Fei’s body.

"It’s the Six Desires Celestial Demon’s doing; it seems there are many demons from the Abyss Realm hiding in Sea City. Truly seeking death."

Wang Xuan chuckled lightly, and his faint killing intent made Luo Tiansha’s scalp tingle.
