Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: To Make the Horse Run, You’ve to feed grass

Clap, clap, clap! accompanied by Zhang Tianze's applause and explanatory words, everyone present suddenly had a moment of enlightenment. 

When they looked at Leng Yanran, their expressions couldn't help but show a touch of fear.

This woman's scheming capability is too frightening! 

She just appeared, and with a single glance, she understood the entire situation and immediately made a decision that would benefit her the most.

Once she's allied with Zhang Tianze, what do the Wang and Li families even count for? 

Maybe Zhang Tianze will even punish the other two families and compensate the Leng family for her sake!

It's simply terrifying! The heads of the Wang and Li families felt a sense of unease. 

They couldn't have imagined that Leng Yanran possessed such tactics and foresight.

This is bad! 

If Zhang Tianze really supports her, their two families will suffer a huge loss! 

Not only will they gain nothing from this, but they might also lose a lot!

"Not bad, you're quite impressive," Zhang Tianze praised. "As my follower, you indeed can treat them like insignificant ants. Today, I'll back you up, hehehe. Come here, come by my side."

After showering her with compliments, Zhang Tianze looked Leng Yanran up and down, unable to contain his desire to get his hands on her. He eagerly beckoned her to come closer.

However, Leng Yanran remained unmoved, instead giving him a strange look. 

It was as if she was regarding him as a fool.

"Leave within ten breaths, and don't come to trouble the Leng family again, and I'll spare your lives. If not, all of you will stay here today,"

Leng Yanran said after staring at Zhang Tianze for a long while. 

She continued speaking with an indifferent tone, and her words fell on everyone's ears, leaving them bewildered.

They exchanged glances, and finally, all their eyes fell on Zhang Tianze.

"Having a bit of temperament is no big deal, but when I, the great me, speak... you better listen!"

Zhang Tianze, feeling a bit embarrassed under the scrutiny of everyone's eyes, let go of his smile and once again issued a command in a domineering tone.

He even reached out and made a virtual grab, forming a palm of spiritual energy that reached out to capture Leng Yanran and bring her before him!

The three powerhouse family heads, all at the Ninth Layer of the Profound Sky Realm, couldn't help but inhale a cold breath at the purity of the spiritual energy he casually manipulated. It seemed even purer than their own.

"Break!"

Leng Yanran raised her delicate jade hand, completely unconcerned, and casually pointed at the palm of spiritual energy.

"Is this girl crazy?"

"Even a powerhouse of the Ninth Layer of the Profound Sky Realm expert wouldn't dare to treat that attack so casually."

"Is she out of her mind, planning to take that attack head-on?"

Everyone present burst into laughter, viewing it as a colossal joke. 

In their eyes, Zhang Tianze, being the chief disciple of the Luo Heaven Sect, could probably suppress most of the Profound Sky Realm experts with this attack alone.

How could Leng Yanran hope to stop it, especially with such a nonchalant gesture?

However, at the moment when the palm of spiritual energy touched Leng Yanran's fingertip, everyone was dumbfounded.

Crack!

With a crisp sound, the palm shattered like fragile glass.

"Perhaps that gentleman didn't want to hurt this young lady, so he held back?"

"It seems that his move was meant to impose his aura and make her yield. Who would have thought this little gal would be so unappreciative?"

"Likely so. But with this Leng girl not giving face to that gentleman, things might not end well!"

After a brief daze, the people present quickly found a suitable explanation to reassure themselves. 

Yet, Zhang Tianze couldn't help but lightly furrow his brows.

Others might not know, but he was well aware. 

Although he didn't use his full strength in that attack, it was enough to suppress any opponent at or below the mid-level Profound Sky Realm.

Furthermore, from that single exchange, Zhang Tianze sensed something peculiar. Leng Yanran wasn't merely at the rumored Void Sky Realm; she had genuine Profound Sky Realm cultivation!

Even the three Profound Sky Realm family heads beside him also noticed this revelation.

"No wonder she managed to escape from the three Profound Sky Realm assassins; turns out she was concealing her true cultivation all along!"

Wang Meng squinted his eyes, finally understanding how Leng Yanran managed to escape from the grasp of the three assassins.

"Yanran, when did you break through to the Profound Sky Realm? Did you hide your cultivation before?"

Even Leng Zhan couldn't help but ask in shock. 

As the head of the Leng family, he had no idea when Leng Yanran broke through to the Profound Sky Realm.

"I'll explain these details to the family head later, but before that, I was indeed at the Fourth Layer of the Void Sky Realm," Leng Yanran casually replied, looking in the direction of the family head.

She felt there was no need to hide her Master's strength, and she had firmly decided to let her Master's name and that of the Heavenly Dao Sect resound throughout the world.

Furthermore, she couldn't think of a better way to repay her Master's kindness!

"Hehe, quite the joker, aren't you? You broke through to the Profound Sky Realm in just one day. Do you think you're the reincarnation of a deity?" Zhang Tianze sneered.

"Since you want to use my banner to deal with the two major clans, you should listen to me carefully. If you want the horse to run, you must feed it some grass. Do you understand this logic?"

He didn't care if she had broken through to the Profound Sky Realm; she still couldn't escape from his grasp. 

Nonetheless, it was even better this way.

A human furnace of the Profound Sky Realm was far superior to that of the Void Sky Realm! 

Once he had exhausted her potential, even if she lost her cultivation, she would still make a good servant with her attractive appearance.

"Insolent!"

"I, Leng Yanran, am now a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Even if I were grass, it would be my Master who feeds on me, not you!"

Leng Yanran's face turned somewhat unpleasant upon hearing his words, and she harbored murderous intent towards Zhang Tianze.

"Tsk, are you trying to bluff again? Very well, today I'll give you a lesson in advance!" Zhang Tianze sneered.

The Heavenly Dao Sect? This little girl was quite audacious, daring to invoke the name of the heavenly way. 

Wouldn't any sect that dared to associate itself with the heavenly way be subject to divine punishment?

"If you can withstand three of my undefeated moves, I'll leave right now!"

"Qing Tao Ghost Slash!"

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Leng Yanran's consent, Zhang Tianze immediately used his hand like a knife to unleash the first attack, using a full 80% of his strength!

"Demonic Heaven Finger!"

Seeing this, Leng Yanran's pupils contracted. 

Facing the chief disciple of the Luo Heaven Sect, she didn't dare to underestimate him and directly exerted her strongest attack!

The two figures collided in an instant!
