The Way of The Dao

Silence once again reigned in the place, but this time, it seemed that time had frozen over, everyone looking on with eyes full of surprises and questions as they watched between Ling Tian and the other young man.

Ling Tian rolled his eyes and looked indifferently at this guy who was talking nonsense only out of jealousy, envy and anger at seeing the beloved Goddesses being taken away by someone else.

"Do you know that it is disrespectful to address and blaspheme a Great Master Alchemist in such a way?!"

Just as Ling Tian was about to say something, the middle-aged man screamed furiously, causing the young man to furrow his brow.

"Star City residents, it is somewhat disappointing that you have to witness such events..." Long Cheng got upset and spoke out loud, drawing the attention of everyone in the stadium: "It seems that this is about the romances of young people..."

The audience listened attentively, putting all their attention between Long Cheng and Ling Tian.

"He really is a Great Master Alchemist... the patriarchs of every aristocratic family were able to see him on the first day, you will know what I mean." Long Cheng commented strongly, looking at several people scattered in the stands.

The patriarchs of each aristocratic family, who could be said to have powers and forces only below the Great Families, nodded when the people saw them, confirming the identity of the Master Alchemist.

The young leader slowly began to feel a nerve and fear as he saw several people confirming the identity of the guy he wants to corner.

"Also..." Long Cheng looked at the young man who had initiated everything and said in a clear and strong voice, "My daughter is the one who agreed to marry him, so I have no problem with this, as do the other parents of the other girls."

Was this unknown young man really engaged to the daughter of the Lord of the City?

All men did not want to believe that one of their Goddesses really agreed to want to marry someone, especially knowing the personality and arrogance of Goddess Long, they all believed it could not be true.

However, when each one of them turned their gaze to where the Goddesses were, they found Long Yuyin's disdainful and annoying eyes.

Long Yuyin coldly observed all the men who saw her.

Her eyes clearly showed disdain, a contempt for each one of them, expressing that they were not worthy of her attention.

The pride and arrogance somehow sharpened over time, keeping her distant and indifferent to others, but with her family she would become soft and loving, just like Yun Mengxin.

Zhang Chao, Tang Wei, and even Yun Dong, were also upset by the slander and mistreatment towards Ling Tian. He is their son in law, so in a way they would also be insulting their daughters and their family.

Tang Zhi and Zhang Ruoyan watched this whole event with surprised eyes. They, as mothers, will always say that their daughters are very beautiful, but even so, that their own daughters are classified as the famous Star City Goddesses, still brought them a little shock.

However, a few frowns on their faces showed when people started to express themselves badly about Ling Tian.

Ling Tian was already their son, and it is as if they were speaking ill of their daughters as well.

Yun Mengxin's cold stare sent shivers down every person she looked at.

Mu Shuiruo looked at Ling Tian with worry. Despite the fact that she is soft and gentle at heart, her heart began to feel annoyed and upset when she saw all the people talking and looking down on her beloved man.

Zhang Xinya gazed furiously at the men in the middle of the stage, wondering if they were really stupid because of jealousy and envy or their minds were just that simple, easily carried away by anything.

Although Tang Wanying looked at Ling Tian with an interesting and amusing smile, wanting to know what he would do, her eyes also couldn't help but show an angry and upset feeling at the aggression her man was receiving.

Any woman would feel angry and upset to see her beloved man being treated in such a way.

Lan Yin was looking with an angry little face at all those people who kept bothering her Master, reminding her of the time the women kept bothering them both when they were strolling several days ago.

"Then I apologize for speaking ill of a Master Alchemist." The leader spoke quickly again, avoiding losing face and being the only one to look bad in front of the others.

"However, it really bothers us all that the famous fiancé of both Goddesses is only a Master Alchemist and does not practice the Martial Arts..." He spoke out loudly again, expressing the feelings of all who were with him, and addressed Ling Tian: "If you were someone who was at least in Emperor rank, we would have no problem with you marrying one of our Goddesses."

"Yes!!!"

"We want someone who is truly worthy of our Goddesses!"

"Someone who is not a great and powerful martial artist will not be able to protect them!"

"If he is not strong, then how can he protect the beautiful Goddesses?"

"We cannot allow that!"

"If he has the guts, then come out and face us all!"

"Don't be a coward!

As if lighting a fuse at once, the exclamations, shouts, and complaints began to come from every man, looking down on Ling Tian as they took out all their grievances at seeing the Goddesses being taken away.

The young leader began to smile again in disdain as he looked at Ling Tian while his thoughts began to pass through his mind.

So what if he really was a Great Master Alchemist?

At the last moment, people will prefer a truly powerful Martial Artist who can protect them from the demonic beasts.

Yes, the Master Alchemists are respected and important for one's inner strength, but in the end, they are the weakest, who would die instantly when faced with any demonic beast.

The Star City will always need strong and powerful martial artists to fight the demonic hordes, so, if someone in this case wants to be with one of the Goddesses, he must prove that he has the power to be the strongest.

Other people started watching this intense debate, wanting to know what the famous and unknown young man who is engaged to some of the famous Goddesses of the city would do.

Actually martial artists are the most needed, as they are the pillar and shield for the Star City, fighting the demonic beasts every day.

If this young man married the daughter of the Lord of the City, he would most likely become the next Lord of the City, therefore, everyone unconsciously agreed that he had to prove himself worthy to be the next pillar of the city.

The Lord of the City must be the strongest of all...

"If you can defeat me, I will not oppose you to marry one of the beloved Goddesses!" He smiled triumphantly, as he thought inwardly, 'If you do not go out, you will lose face and be despised forever, and if you do go out, you cannot win me, for you are only a Master of Alchemy while I am a powerful Emperor rank...'

The screams and complaints continued to echo throughout the stadium, beginning to call out to Ling Tian to come out and demonstrate his abilities.

"Haa..." Ling Tian sighed for the umpteenth time as he saw all the people in the stadium making a fuss.

Really there will always be people who will not know the difference between heaven and earth until they kick an iron plate...

Now, he decided to make things clear once and for all.

"You are right."

Ling Tian's weak but clear voice was heard throughout the stadium, causing people to stop talking.

All eyes fell on him, waiting to see what he would say.

Ling Tian stood calmly and with an indifferent face said to the young man who had started it all: "Of the things you have said, you are only right about one thing, and that is that..."

Ling Tian moved his foot normally to walk and instantly appeared in front of the smug guy.

"I am not a martial artist."
