Open up and break into another world

Little cat? Little dog?

Xu Ming was stunned—he never imagined that one day, he would be pointed at and called a "little cat" or "little dog".

Moreover, it was on his good brother "General Jingyu's" territory that he was being looked down upon in such a way.

Furthermore, the young Daoist-robed cultivator who was looking down on him was of very ordinary strength; from the looks of it, he should only be an extremely ordinary Dao Lord—no more than a Third-Step Dao Lord.

A mere Third-Step Dao Lord was, in Xu Ming's eyes, truly a little cat or dog that he could annihilate with a wave of his hand!

"What the hell?"

Xu Ming couldn't help but curse inwardly: "To actually be called a 'little cat' or 'little dog' by a little cat or dog?"

However, seeing that the other party had come out of the Jingyu Hall and was likely a subordinate of General Jingyu, Xu Ming suppressed his anger and decided not to lower himself to the same level—he would just give General Jingyu some face.

"Where is Jingyu?" Xu Ming said in a deep voice, "I'm looking for him!"

"Jingyu?" The young Daoist-robed cultivator glared, "Is the name of General Jingyu something you can call directly? Also, every great power who can call General Jingyu a brother, I recognize each one, and you are not among them!"

As he spoke, the young Daoist-robed cultivator glanced at Xu Ming with great disdain. Seeing that Xu Ming was relatively young, he became even more arrogant: "Young man, trying to build a relationship with General Jingyu is not the way to do it!—Today, I, being generous, will not bother with you! Get lost!!"

Xu Ming was truly infuriated.

However, Xu Ming also knew that although his name was very famous in the Human Race and even the Endless Continent, it was… only limited to his "name"!

His appearance, however, was not necessarily known to everyone!—For example, the young Daoist-robed cultivator in front of him did not recognize him.

Helpless, Xu Ming had no choice but to announce his name: "I am… Xu Ming!"

"Xu Ming?"

Xu Ming felt utterly speechless.

An ordinary aura?—Xu Ming didn't have a combat-type cheat activated, so of course he looked ordinary! But once the cheat was activated, he could directly use his aura to blast away the young Daoist-robed cultivator in front of him!

Xu Ming was too lazy to continue arguing or explaining anything to a little cat or dog, so he directly took out a communication talisman and said, "I'll contact Jingyu myself."

Unexpectedly, the young Daoist-robed cultivator continued to sneer when he saw this: "You're just putting on an act!—General Jingyu is currently in seclusion, even if you send him a message, he won't receive it!"

"Oh?" Xu Ming suddenly realized, "No wonder Jingyu hasn't come out for so long, so he's in seclusion!"

Since Jingyu was in seclusion, Xu Ming didn't want to disturb him. As for the situation in the Eternal Demon Pit, Xu Ming could learn about it through other means.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Ming directly turned around and prepared to leave.

At this moment, the young Daoist-robed cultivator laughed even more sharply: "What? Feeling guilty? Can't keep up the act?—Remember, not just anyone is qualified to call General Jingyu a brother!"

Xu Ming was so angry that he wanted to slap someone, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: "How can Jingyu have such a weirdo as a subordinate…"

Just then…

*Slap!!*

A crisp slapping sound rang out at the gate of the Jingyu Hall. The young Daoist-robed cultivator who was sneering sharply directly received a burning slap to the face—however, this slap was not from Xu Ming. But… General Jingyu!

The gate of the Jingyu Hall, which had only been opened a crack, was now fully open. General Jingyu's tall figure stood at the gate of the Jingyu Hall.

On the ground at General Jingyu's feet, the young Daoist-robed cultivator covered his face aggrievedly and said, "General… General Jingyu, why did you hit me?"

Why did I hit you?

General Jingyu glanced at him indifferently and snorted, "Zhang Wei, from today onwards, don't ever appear in the Jingyu Hall again!"

The young Daoist-robed cultivator "Zhang Wei" was immediately stunned—foolish as he was, he still hadn't figured out what mistake he had made.

"General Jingyu, I… I…" Zhang Wei looked bewildered.

"Didn't you understand my words?" General Jingyu said coldly, "Now, you can get lost!"

"Why? Why?" Zhang Wei was unconvinced.

General Jingyu was too lazy to continue to pay attention to Zhang Wei, but instead looked at Xu Ming with a ashamed expression: "Brother Xu Ming, I have been remiss!"

"Brother Xu Ming!??" Zhang Wei was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time, as if his expression had been frozen, "This young man, he… really is Xu Ming…"

Immediately afterward, endless fear filled Zhang Wei's heart: "I actually offended Xu Ming… and I'm going to be kicked out of the Jingyu Hall…"

Why was Zhang Wei able to be so arrogant?—It was because he was in charge of "guarding the door" in the Jingyu Hall.

As the saying goes, a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate. Those great powers who entered and exited the Eternal Demon Pit, even if their strength was clearly stronger than Zhang Wei, would still give Zhang Wei some face—after all, Zhang Wei represented the facade of General Jingyu; not giving Zhang Wei face was not giving General Jingyu face!

Over time, it also allowed Zhang Wei to develop a character of "looking down on people". Even when facing some Seventh-Step Dao Lords and Eighth-Step Dao Lords, Zhang Wei would put on a superior posture; let alone facing Xu Ming, a "little cat or dog" whose aura was even weaker than his?

And now, Zhang Wei heard that General Jingyu was going to kick him out of the Jingyu Hall, and he immediately became anxious!

Leaving the Jingyu Hall, what would he, Zhang Wei, be?—Just an extremely ordinary Third-Step Dao Lord!

Moreover, Zhang Wei's character was destined to have offended many people. Leaving the Jingyu Hall, without General Jingyu as a backer; would his future days be easy?

At this time, Zhang Wei finally understood—who was the real little cat or dog!

"Brother Jingyu!" Xu Ming smiled, "Didn't you say you were in seclusion? Why did you come out?"

General Jingyu sighed: "I am responsible for guarding the Eternal Demon Pit, even if I am in seclusion, it is impossible to be completely cut off! Hearing Brother Xu Ming call me, I broke out of seclusion!"

Xu Ming was slightly touched—General Jingyu interrupted his seclusion for his sake.

Zhang Wei was even more shocked—even General Jingyu interrupted his seclusion for Xu Ming; it could be seen how important Xu Ming was in General Jingyu's heart! And I, just now, actually mocked Xu Ming like that…

The more Zhang Wei thought about it, the more afraid he became.

However, Zhang Wei also seemed to see a glimmer of hope—if Xu Ming was willing to say a word for him, then he would definitely be able to continue guarding the door in the Jingyu Hall!

Thinking of this, Zhang Wei actually shamelessly crawled to Xu Ming's feet and cried, "Brother Ming! Brother Ming!—I really didn't know it was you, otherwise, even if you gave me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to speak to you like that…"
