Chapter 788: For Justice!

Yu Tian Ji continued to stare at Lin Pheng. He made a few steps forwards and said, "You're right, I, Yu Tian Ji, came to the mysterious world as a leader. People from Tian Chi all have to listen to my orders."

Lin Pheng was staring at Yu Tian Ji, his white clothes fluttering in the wind. He looked like a hero, free and unrestrained, natural, The strong cultivators from Tian Chi never questioned what he said, as if he was their god.

Yu Tian Ji was the leader of the Tian Ji group but he was also considered the leader of all seven groups from Tian Chi. Someday he would become a real leader of the Tian Ji group, everybody would listen to and respect him then as well.

"Lin Pheng, Tian Chi accepted you and gave you a warm welcome. The snow eagles are some of our elders who won't prevent people from becoming citizens of Tian Chi, but that doesn't mean I accept you. It also doesn't mean that the six other groups accept you. A few days before, when you entered the mysterious world, you killed all the people from the Tian Shu group. They had offended you first, so you killed them and I perfectly understand. However, those two have stolen precious treasures, so you will hand them over or else I will kill you!" Yu Tian Ji was furious.

Yu Tian Ji's face was filled with murder, he wasn't trying to conceal his true intentions anymore.

"How ridiculous, I remember what the elders said before. If any person from Tian Chi found a precious treasure, they could keep it for themselves. You pretend to be a leader of Tian Chi, could it be that you don't even know that!" shouted Lin Pheng furiously. Yu Tian Ji was twisting words to force logic.

"If Tian Chi Xue had seized a precious treasure, or one of its people, I wouldn't try and fight to get them. But, as I have already said, even though the elders of Tian Chi accepted them, it doesn't mean that I do. Besides, who are they to get those treasures? Even if they really wanted to join Tian Chi, I won't change my mind." Yu Tian Ji said. He then continued, "They are not qualified to use such treasures, but they are suitable for me. I will not hesitate to fight for that purpose even if it means getting my clothes a little dirty."

"Everything for the empire." said Yu Tian Ji alone while stroking his chest with his hand. Even if he had to kill, or even go against the elders' will, he wouldn't hesitate. He would fight, that's how he was and he was now more determined than ever.

"Just a load of crap! Why don't you admit that you are only motivated by your own personal interests? You want the treasures all for yourself." Lin Pheng said while his entire body released sharp sword energies. He then shouted furiously, "Talking too much is of no use, let's fight. You say that you want to punish those who betray Tian Chi, in the same manner, I, Lin Pheng, represent Tian Xuan. I also kill traitors like you. Tian Xuan is an artery of Tian Chi, why would we listen to your orders?"

Yu Tian Ji felt fearless as he sensed Lin Pheng's battle energy.

"I know that you have received the three elders' instructions, and that you are very strong. Your sword intent is already level six, To be honest, I really like you. If you were the one who had stolen the treasures I might not try to steal them. I think that you can rise up within Tian Xuan, however, since you are protecting those two, tensions arose between you and I. If you lose, I will not kill you. However, those two will have to hand over the treasures they stole." Yu Tian Ji said slowly, sounding incredibly self-confident.

"What if you lose?" shouted Huang Fu Long.

"Lose?" said Yu Tian Ji, smiling in a cold and detached way. He glanced over the five people on top of the cave and said, "Amongst all the people on the seven snowy peaks of Tian Chi, apart from you, who dares disobey my orders? They don't because I am their leader. I am the leader of the highest of the seven snowy peaks, Tian Ji. How could I, Yu Tian Ji, lose? Do you really think that it's that easy to become a Tian Chi leader?"

Yu Tian Ji seemed extremely confident. Lin Pheng and the others were staring at him. Indeed, the Tian Chi Empire was an empire of medium quality, thanks to the incredible cohesion of its members, it had an excellent reputation. The snowy peaks of Tian Chi constituted the soul of the empire and Yu Tian Ji was one of its young leaders. Maybe in the future, Yu Tian Ji would really become the leader of the empire.

It almost seemed like Lin Pheng and the others were realizing that they had underestimated Yu Tian Ji.

Besides, Yu Tian Ji knew that Lin Pheng had three Zun teachers, he also knew that Lin Pheng's sword intent was level six. But, he didn't look scared whatsoever. The only thing one could see was his battle energy burning all around his body.

However, even if Yu Tian Ji wasn't scared, could Lin Pheng be scared? He was also releasing battle energy. During the short period of time he spent in the Tian Chi region, he practiced cultivation and learnt a lot. Coupled with the knowledge obtained in the mysterious world, Lin Pheng could kill people of the ninth Xuan Qi layer easily. He hadn't had a difficult battle for awhile now.

"Keep dreaming, you're saying that if you win you'll get the precious treasures. But when we ask you what will happen if you lose, you think that replying that you will not lose is enough? What if Lin Pheng just said that he wasn't going to lose as well?" Huang Fu Long was furious, he was surrounded by waves of energy.

"Dragon energy is flowing in your veins, I would have never thought that Tian Chi would comprise so many geniuses, how great. I said it already, I will just take those two treasures as they are suitable for me, I will not kill you. If I lose, I have no item to give you, otherwise I would give them to Lin Pheng."

"Bullshit, you pretend to be a leader so it means that you're a leader? Who acknowledges you?" faid Huang Fu Long in a disdainful way.

"They all do. If Lin Pheng wins against me, I swear that from today on, Lin Pheng will become the most respected young man of Tian Chi." said Yu Tian Ji.

Huang Fu Long wanted to say something but then he heard Lin Pheng say, "I agree."

Lin Pheng and Yu Tian Ji were surrounded by battle energy rolling in waves, ready to fight.

"How exciting." said Yu Tian Ji smiling. He glanced at the others, his eyes were twinkling in a cold way as he said, "If we fight, I fear other people will not remain calm. Tian Chi people, listen to me, I order you to protect those two treasures so that I can take and use them after."

The strong cultivators of Tian Chi slightly nodded. Nobody contradicted him, especially all the leaders from the snowy peaks of Tian Chi. Each year, they all learnt from each others by interaction, they were the only ones who realized how strong Yu Tian Ji was. For the others, his strength was unfathomable.

"Surprisingly, you are quite self-confident." said Lin Pheng whose body was surrounded by sharp energies. Yu Tian Ji had immediately ordered them to keep and protect those two treasures for him, he was wildly conceited.

Lin Pheng glanced at the crowd and noticed that they all looked restless. If he fought against Yu Tian Ji, the others would go insane and would try to steal Jun Mo Xi and Yun Fei Yang's treasures.

Lin Pheng looked at Jun Mo Xi and the two others and said, "How do you feel?"

"I feel like drinking alcohol." said Jun Mo Xi while smiling. His dazzling golden robe was fluttering in the wind.

"Indeed, alcohol." said Yun Fei Yang, also smiling. Even though he was injured, he looked as free and unrestrained as before. A strong wind started blowing, and clouds were rising (
