Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System

“Step up! Who dares to make trouble in my territory and even court death for messing with my daughter?!” The City Lord’s voice was so loud that it made the other weaker cultivators defend their ears.

Soon after, he appeared before the crowd and scanned the surroundings.

His lone daughter then walked near and fawned on him. She clung her arm into her father’s and pointed at Yang Lujia and Cai Hong’s direction. “Father, those were the men who did not pay any attention to me! Both of them are very handsome! I am hoping you could make them submit to me, father!”

Seeing his daughter acting like a child, he smiled—which meant that he only had his daughter in his eyes. Everything else would be useless to him. He then caressed his daughter’s face. With a scrunched face, he released his might toward the crowd and even more so in the direction of Yang Lujia and Cai Hong.

“Young friends, I don’t know who you are, but why won’t you submit to my daughter? Do you really think just anyone could just match me in the entire Realm of Da Shikong? I am practically invisible—that even an entire army of Saint Emperors wouldn’t be able to curb me at all—much less the two of you!”

Although he called Yang Lujia and Cai Hong as young friends, he really wasn’t intending to be polite with them. However, he was placed in a spot where his instincts kicked him inside—there was this growing fear inside his heart that he couldn’t help but rethink about what he was going to say.

Nevertheless, since he had already offended the other party, he might as well go along with the flow. After all, he did not have to worry about anything at all.

The Undying City was enveloped in a formidable array formation. It was set up by the old man who had once been here even before the four regions were named as First, Second, Third, and Autonomous Regions. Moreover, he really didn’t need to fear anything. Although he was only a peak Saint Emperor, it went to show that his means were more than the other Saint Emperors could pull off. It was thanks to that old man who personally bestowed upon him this array formation.

However, what really baffled him was Yang Lujia and Cai Hong’s nonchalant expressions. Despite him releasing his peak Saint Emperor might, they both did not budge at all. Especially Yang Lujia, who continued eating his food like a beast—without a beat.

“What is the meaning of this?” the City Lord asked, feeling rage surging from the depths of his bones. “Why are you not responding to me?”

However, still, he did not receive any response from the two. The latter still continued to eat despite the City Lord’s oppressive might.

“Haven’t you heard that it is forbidden and rude to interrupt someone while they’re eating? Are you a blockhead? What a brainless prick.” Yang Lujia suddenly threw an insult. “If you keep acting like this, it won’t be too long before I kill you and your daughter.”

Yang Lujia stood up and looked at the pair of father and daughter.

The City Lord’s daughter had shining eyes when she was witnessing the full-frontal view of Yang Lujia’s face. She even shivered in excitement. “Father… father… I w-want him so m-much…”

Yang Lujia scoffed at the woman’s current appearance and even felt disgusted inside. He would never have known that not only were women covered here, but men were also wanted. If he had had insufficient strength from the beginning, he would have already been raped by this woman. Just thinking about it made Yang Lujia almost growl in rage.

“Your daughter sure has cultivated her lust rules so much that she could not help herself but covet my body,” Yang Lujia said, eyeing the father of the woman who was also looking at him with a grim face.

Seeing the calm demeanor Yang Lujia was showing, he couldn’t help but think about the other party’s strength. He had already gauged his strength before, but it was only at the peak of the Saint Emperor Realm—not anything beyond that. He thought that it was the most possible case, as cultivation realms above the Saint Emperor Realm were not allowed in Da Shikong. Therefore, he found it reasonable.

Hence, he let his guard down, thinking that Yang Lujia was just a small fry he could trample on.

But he was gravely mistaken.

Nevertheless, the City Lord immediately blew up the restaurant with his might, flinging all the other customers there, leaving only Yang Lujia and Cai Hong standing before them. “Speak of your matters! Who are you and what are you doing here in my territory?”

“Heh…” Cai Hong scoffed at the strength of the City Lord. He simply thought that this man was very weak compared to Lord Tong He.

Yang Lujia noticed the expressions of Cai Hong and he was able to read what was on his mind. Thus, he sent Cai Hong a voice transmission. “Cai Hong, like what I’ve always told you, do not underestimate any of your enemies, including this man. While it’s true that he’s only a Saint Emperor Realm, we can’t know whether or not he has some treasures in him, conveniently hiding his high cultivation. If there’s a chance, fight him with all your might. Do not back down. I’m telling you this based on experience.”

Cai Hong’s mind momentarily blanked out, and then he nodded his head almost nonstop and stepped back, stopping only when he was behind Yang Lujia. “Your Highness, I apologize for my insolence.”

“No, you didn’t do anything wrong. It’s just that we have to pay attention to our enemies’ means. I have already read several of those that people like him would definitely have meant more than his own strength. Although he was only a peak Saint Emperor, the prowess of the formation engulfing the city alone could kill hundreds, if not thousands, of Saint Emperors—let alone you,” Yang Lujia explained. “Nevertheless, I am grateful that you keep on standing up for me. However, this time, leave this to me.”

Suddenly, the City Lord laughed so loudly that he even clenched his belly. Afterward, he looked at Yang Lujia with a mocking smile. “Leave this to you? A mere peak Saint Emperor dares to stand up to this lord?!”

With that, the City Lord didn’t reserve any of his strength and directly attacked Yang Lujia. He brandished his sword and swiped the air with its edge as it threw slashes made out of qi. However, after doing this for a long time, he noticed that Yang Lujia did not seem to be harmed at all. In fact, he was even smiling at him.

This made the City Lord’s face sink. “You do have some means. It looks like you have such a high defensive treasure. That’s why you’re so confident in facing me.”

Meanwhile, on the other side, Cai Hong was just watching from behind Yang Lujia when suddenly a hand clutched into his shoulders that he immediately used the rules of the wind. It turned out that there was not only one peak Saint Emperor in the city who was under the rule of the City Lord. In fact, there were five of them. Moreover, they emit the same aura as His Highness. Hence, he knew that the situation had turned grave.

Despite that, he knew that His Highness had not yet pulled off any countermeasures against the City Lord. In fact, he was letting the City Lord attack him for so long that the City Lord found himself breathing hard.

Cai Hong needed not to worry about Yang Lujia, so he instead focused on his fight against the five people who almost caught him off guard. With that, he pushed himself forward with a sword in hand.

The five men only scoffed at him. They thought that Cai Hong was just putting up a futile struggle. Cai Hong kept on attacking and defending. Their attacks were so heavy that a single mistake from him could result in grave consequences—death could even be possible for him.

Seeing that His Highness wasn’t intending to make a move to help him, he fought on his own and even equaled the prowess of the five people. The more that they clashed, the more astonished the five people were.

“Impossible! You’re a person from the younger generation?! Why would your cultivation be this high?” a man exclaimed, finally realizing what pit they had dug themselves for.

“What?” The others also sounded surprised.

Even the City Lord, who was currently attacking Yang Lujia relentlessly, found that the matter wasn’t as simple as it looked. It seemed like these two young men were from the younger generation, and it was possible that they were being protected by some formidable experts.

“Is this why no matter how and what I hit him, his face remained unfazed? Is there someone or something protecting him from behind the shadows?” Thinking about this, the City Lord even felt chills running down his spine.

‘Did we bark at the wrong tree this time?’
