Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142: Who’s Afraid of Who! Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142: Who’s Afraid of Who! Mongrel?!!!
At this moment, Ji Chuchen was utterly dumbfounded!
Not just him, but including Hall Master Ji himself, and even everyone present, were staring wide-eyed at each other.
My God! In such a grand assembly of talents and powerful figures, at such a formal occasion, to utter such filthy language, how unseemly!
Too vulgar! Too reprehensible! Too nauseating!
As cultivators who stand above all beings, there is naturally a sense of detachment and transcendence, even when engaging in verbal spats or insults, there are boundaries; but to directly call someone a “mongrel,” that is the epitome of vulgarity!
In an instant, many people could not help but feel a surge of disgust towards Huang Xiaolong. Even those who had genuinely admired Huang Xiaolong’s methods just a moment ago were now looking down on him.
“Ah~~~~!!!!” Ji Chuchen stood trembling on the spot, shaking like a sieve, his pride, dominance, and invincibility seemed to be smashed to pieces by Huang Xiaolong’s word “mongrel,” shattered completely!
One should know, a distinguished family background had always been Ji Chuchen’s pride, his capital to flaunt. Now that Huang Xiaolong called him a mongrel, wasn’t that humiliating his entire Ji Family?
Especially in front of his own father, in front of all the major figures of the overseas cultivator world, this insult was almost more unbearable than slapping him several times or even carving him with a knife!
“Hahaha~~~~” The Hall Master Ji floating in the air went from extreme anger to maniacal laughter, his whole body’s mana was like a volcano about to erupt, his face dark and icy as he glared deadly at Huang Xiaolong, as if he wished he could gouge out pieces of flesh from Huang Xiaolong’s body with his gaze, his voice like a screeching owl. “Young man, you’ve gone too far! Granted, my son is proud and holds his dignity high; he has been somewhat spoiled and conceited from a young age. Hence, he has garnered some grievances with you. However, as cultivators, any grievances should be settled on the dueling stage. We all acknowledge that you are the dark horse of this Hidden Dragon Ranking battle, we underestimated you. But to publicly insult my son, and in such an offensive manner… Do you have any manners at all? Are you a human or a beast? Or is this a psychological tactic, deliberately enraging my son before the battle, making him headstrong like thunder, so you can seize the opportunity?”
Every word from Hall Master Ji was filled with a ruthless and vicious aura. “Heh heh~~ by calling my son a mongrel, aren’t you also insulting me?”
The bronze ancient halls suspended in the air were now radiating immense fury.
The clear sky suddenly became congested with dark clouds, and lightning flashed!
“Hmph!” In the midst of it all, the deep and eternal voice was also full of anger! The figure that had been suppressing the Xia Family, Emei Sect, and other high ranks, a behemoth who had been protecting Huang Xiaolong, was now angry as well.
The surrounding spectator stands were filled with cries of outrage–
“Kill this man! Kill him at once!”
“In the solemn Hidden Dragon Ranking battle, how can someone so lowly be allowed to compete?”
“This person is cruel and malicious, foul-mouthed beyond words, he must be punished severely!”
“His cultivation might be strong, but his character is too low! He’s simply trash!”
“Kill! Kill! Kill him!”
…
The countless shouts and curses were incessant.
Huang Xiaolong’s insult towards Ji Chuchen had already ignited public outrage.
Duanmu Wei and the elder Lan Yue now had pale faces–‘Oh dear, Little Long, you, you have gone… a bit… a bit too far! How are we going to handle this now?’
Even Huang Xiaolong’s wives were aghast. Although they weren’t worried about Huang Xiaolong’s safety, this wasn’t following any script!
Was he intending to make enemies of everyone present first?
“Please be quiet, everyone.” The voice of the eternal behemoth spoke.
When this voice rang out, the tumultuous scene miraculously quietened down.
“Young man, make your case,” the behemoth’s voice was devoid of any emotion, cold to the extreme, like a heavenly emperor pronouncing the life and death of all beings. “The crowd is agitated, and the situation is somewhat out of control. If you uttered these indecent words just for a momentary satisfaction, then I cannot protect you. You will be sanctioned.”
Once the behemoth spoke, everyone believed that Huang Xiaolong was doomed!
With so many people here, if each spat on him, it would be enough to drown Huang Xiaolong!
“You’re dead! You’re finished!” Ji Chuchen’s face contorted hideously as he roared at Huang Xiaolong.
“Young man, it’s time for you to explain. I want to hear your explanation,” Hall Master Ji said coldly. “Of course, if you kneel down and apologize, I am magnanimous enough to forgive you.”
“Pu~~~” Huang Xiaolong’s face showed no change, and even at this critical juncture, he actually couldn’t help but laugh heartlessly. “Well, Hall Master Ji, about that… you’re a person of high status at Emei, with a dignified presence. Some things, once they’re laid bare, become rather unpleasant. Do you really want me to explain in front of everyone why I called Ji Chuchen a bastard?”
“You’re still thinking of my welfare?” Hall Master Ji almost spewed a mouthful of old blood. “Since you refuse to kneel and apologize, then you must provide me with an explanation! If your explanation fails to convince me, then I shall have to execute you!”
Hall Master Ji’s killing intent blossomed.
Ji Chuchen let out a sinister, crow-like laugh, taking pleasure in the misfortune he anticipated. He believed that with his father, an imposing figure in the mid-stage of the Mana Avatar Realm, taking action to execute Huang Xiaolong, it wouldn’t be harder than crushing an ant.
“All right then.” Huang Xiaolong shook his head helplessly and then sighed. “Forgive my bluntness, but I wasn’t actually insulting Ji Chuchen just now. I, for one, never insult people. I’m quite cultured and hold a high standard of moral integrity.”
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar.
Ni Ma, isn’t “bastard” an insulting word?
Is there any insult more malicious than that?
This was like treating everyone in the world like fools!
“Is that your explanation?” Hall Master Ji’s face contorted several times; the fierceness on his face grew more intense.
“Father! Don’t waste any more words on him! A person like him doesn’t deserve to battle your child! Please execute him immediately!” Ji Chuchen shouted loudly.
“Cough cough~~~” Indeed, Huang Xiaolong was also at a loss; stating the blunt truth openly, truly, was heart-wrenching. But at a time like this, he couldn’t keep silent. “Of course ‘bastard’ is an insulting term, using it on anyone is a disgrace. However, the term is not an insult when used on Ji Chuchen.”
Huang Xiaolong’s roundabout way of speaking was nearly enough to make people’s heads spin.
“Well, then let me get straight to the point,” Huang Xiaolong finally said resignedly. “I am proficient in the art of ‘Looking at Qi’.”
“Hm? Looking at Qi?” Hall Master Ji slightly furrowed his brows and nodded. “It’s a lost mystical art, said to be able to see through a person’s fate, calamity, bloodline… Ah, yes, young man, when you killed talents like Mo Shaoxin, you used a ghostly technique. Since ancient times, those who are good with ghostly techniques often know the art of ‘Looking at Qi’.”
Hall Master Ji had few doubts about Huang Xiaolong’s proficiency in ‘Looking at Qi’.
“From the moment you appeared, Hall Master Ji, I could tell through ‘Looking at Qi’ that your bloodline is quite special. That’s why I asked you about it,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile.
“Right! Young man, you did indeed ask me about the Ji Family bloodline.” Hall Master Ji wasn’t a brutal person; on the contrary, he was relatively mild-tempered. Hearing Huang Xiaolong’s reasonable and well-founded explanation, he couldn’t help nodding in acknowledgement. “No wonder, no wonder… Young man, you truly possess this ancient and mystical art, ‘Looking at Qi’.”
The mood of everyone present had slightly calmed, and they pricked up their ears, listening patiently.
The moment Huang Xiaolong saw Hall Master Ji, he proactively inquired about his bloodline, which everyone had heard with their own ears, clearly witnessed by all.
“So, it’s quite simple.” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke in a teasing manner. “In Ji Chuchen, I did not see the special bloodline heritage of the Ji Family. He is of an ordinary bloodline. Therefore, I can assert that Ji Chuchen is not your biological offspring, Hall Master Ji. Perhaps, when Hall Master Ji was overjoyed at having a son, you did not carry out a blood test, did you?”
Pausing for a moment, Huang Xiaolong looked at Ji Chuchen with a mocking gaze. “Because, the term ‘bastard,’ when used in the context of Ji Chuchen, is a true depiction, not an insult. I’ve always said, I never speak ill of others.”
As soon as he said this, it was like a thunderclap had exploded directly on the main battlefield!!!
It stunned everyone!
“This… this…” Hall Master Ji’s body involuntarily shook, and he stammered, “A blood test? It’s been many years since my Ji Family had sons, and we’ve stopped doing blood tests. After all, it’s a matter of trust between husband and wife… Besides, I don’t believe that someone would deceive me, give me~~~~”
“No!!!! Father! Don’t listen to this guy’s divisive words! I am your own flesh and blood! Guaranteed authentic!” Ji Chuchen cried out with heart-wrenching agony.
“Can the Ji Family bloodline be tested?” Huang Xiaolong asked with a faint smile.

“It can. The method is quite simple,” Hall Master Ji muttered, “My Ji Family’s bloodline is very special; take a drop of blood, drop it into water, and it will spread out in the shape of a plum blossom~~~”
“Ah~!!!! You scoundrel, you’re spouting slander! You’re outrageous!” Ji Chuchen was fuming with rage, wishing he could kill Huang Xiaolong on spot!
“Whether my words are true or false can be known with just a test,” Huang Xiaolong said with a playful smile. “However, if Hall Master Ji is concerned about losing face, you can choose not to do the test.”
“Test it! Blood test! Who’s afraid of whom!” Ji Chuchen, however, was raging with fury. “You scoundrel, don’t think that with just your word, my father will believe you! I, Ji Chuchen, am willing to take the blood test! To prove my innocence! I am my father’s own son!!!!!”
Hall Master Ji’s gaze flickered continually, and finally, he nodded. “Let’s do the blood test. Those who are clean will come out clean, and those who are dirty will reveal themselves.”
