A Man Like None Other Chapter 7118 Pretending to be a coward
The leading sixth-rank Immortal Lord steward still had a lingering redness and swelling on one cheek, and his gums were still aching slightly.
After returning home yesterday, he became angrier the more he thought about it. His proud Daoist essence of withered bones had been crushed by a low-level rogue cultivator, making him a laughing stock in the sect. He couldn’t swallow this insult no matter what.
Today, the Dao Ruins have opened, and powerful figures from all sides of Wandao City have gathered. It should have been a good opportunity for sects to make a name for themselves, but he just happened to run into Chen Ping.
“You choose the path to heaven but refuse to take it, while barging into the gates of hell when there are none!”
With a cold shout, the steward led three fellow disciples to quickly surround Chen Ping, instantly trapping him in the center of the encirclement and cutting off all his escape routes.
The four individuals were surrounded by a chilling, deathly aura, making no attempt to conceal their killing intent, instantly drawing the attention of countless cultivators around them.
The previously noisy crowd on the outskirts instantly fell silent.
Everyone turned their heads and looked curiously at Chen Ping, who was surrounded in the middle.
“Is the Bone Sect bullying others again?”
“The person surrounded looks to be only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level. With such little strength, how dare he provoke the Dry Bone Sect? He must be tired of living.”
“Tsk tsk, the Dry Bone Sect has always been a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong, and they only target weak cultivators. They are truly despicable.”
Whispers rose and fell, mostly tinged with disdain and contempt.
Chen Ping’s heart skipped a beat.
This is troublesome.
He really can’t make a move right now.
This place is teeming with powerful figures and countless informants. If he were to reveal even a trace of strength surpassing that of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, he would inevitably attract the attention of various factions.
Once someone focuses on him and investigates him closely, his trump card of the Chaos Origin, his identity as a cultivator who defies the Dao, and even the secrets of his origin from the Twenty-Sixth Heaven may be exposed.
Especially since the Myriad Laws Heavenly Palace is not far away, and these powerful individuals who specialize in divination of the Heavenly Dao are most adept at discerning the origin and seeing through disguises, we must never expose anything unusual in front of them.
If we can’t fight, then we can only act.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Ping regained his composure and delivered a superb performance.
His previously relaxed posture instantly stiffened, his shoulders slumped down, and he curled up into a ball, his face instantly filled with fear, cowardice, and humility.
His eyes darted around nervously, and he didn’t know what to do with his hands and feet. He looked exactly like a lowly rogue cultivator who had been surrounded by powerful figures and was scared out of his wits.
“Seniors! It’s a misunderstanding! It’s all a misunderstanding!”
