Chapter 321: Negotiations at Mount Wutong
Chapter 321: Negotiations at Mount Wutong
"Shen, this is a blood feud that runs deep."
Zhu Jue led Wu Dao'an back behind the youth and whispered a reminder.
Now that things had come to this point, they had to ensure they left no loose ends.
The old ancestor of Qingqiu was destined to die.
Even at a great cost, they could not afford to back down.
However, they had not yet figured out how to carry out the killing.
"It will take the old ancestor at least two days to get here, as his consciousness is not yet fully clear."
"In addition to the Yaksha dharma image, we have brought two other golden bodies. You can command them as you see fit."
After Zhu Jue finished speaking, two more figures descended from the sky.
They appeared to be quite old and had unfamiliar faces.
The two stood behind Shen Yi, also awaiting his instructions.
Judging by their cultivation, they had only reached the Mixed Yuan realm.
However, despite witnessing the fall of the two Fox Demons at the Transformation God realm, they remained calm, indicating they had extraordinary means.
"Brother Shen, you have a heavy killing intent."
The last to arrive was Tang Yuan. He sighed but did not show any sympathy for the Fox Demons.
After all, Qingqiu had come with the intention of replacing Da Qian.
This was something that no force could tolerate.
If they didn't have the strength, that would be the end of it.
But now, with Shen Yi's support, although Da Qian couldn't compare to Mount Wutong and Xuanguang Cave, it was certainly not a force that could be provoked by any ordinary force.
However...
"Don't blame me for speaking too much."
Tang Yuan walked up to Shen Yi and whispered, "Although it was Nie Zhenren who angered the Thousand Demon Cave, it was ultimately Da Qian that needed protection. The elders of Mount Wutong took a great risk when they went to the Thousand Demon Cave."
"Now is the time when we desperately need people."
"Your slaughter may displease my master."
The three Transformation God Fox Demons were actually nothing to Qingfeng Zhenren.
But as long as they were willing to join forces to resist the Thousand Demon Cave, they could at least hold back two Demon Emperors.
The disciples of Mount Wutong had strong cultivation, but there were too few of them, and they were all proud and lofty, unwilling to constantly travel to help guard other forces' territories.
Shen Yi had killed the Fox Demons who could have helped resolve their worries.
But he couldn't fill the gap that had been created.
If this offended his master, it would be difficult to ask for aid the next time Da Qian encountered a problem.
Not to mention the Qingqiu incident.
If Mount Wutong refused to intervene, even if the Imperial City remained stable, the Nine Provinces would have already fallen into chaos.
"And that Qingqiu ancestor, if it comes to a fight, even if he's not as strong as the Qingling Demon Emperor, he's still a powerful being at the same realm... You must be careful."
Tang Yuan owed Shen Yi a life debt, but the last time they encountered the Qingling Demon Emperor, Tang Yuan had also unhesitatingly lent his aid.
However, this time was different.
He couldn't go against his own master, and it was better to make this clear in advance to avoid any hurt feelings.
"I understand. Thank you."
Shen Yi opened his eyes and nodded slightly.
Hearing this, Tang Yuan also looked around, silently calculating Da Qian's chances of victory in his heart.
Even if they included all the golden body dharma images,
With the strength Brother Shen had just displayed, he was still far from the mid-Transformation God realm.
Unless they could invite the old ancestor of the Martial Temple.
He just hoped they had enough time.
Just then, something at Tang Yuan's waist began to glow.
Tang Yuan's face changed slightly. "It's bad."
He only had time to give Shen Yi a look before he summoned scorching flames, which turned into a fiery cloud beneath his feet.
He then soared into the sky and flew more than a hundred miles away.
"Rest assured, Master Qingfeng. We will wholeheartedly assist Da Qian in resisting the demons and will never slacken in our efforts, even at the cost of our lives."
"Hmm."
Master Qingfeng smiled noncommittally, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
He didn't believe a word of the foxes' flattery and was simply too lazy to call them out.
Wutong Mountain was in need of more people.
As for Qingqiu, they now seemed to have some potential for use. That was all.
"Rise."
As the cloud drifted past Tang Yuan, Master Qingfeng nodded slightly.
He was quite pleased with this disciple-in-name.
Not because of his talent, but because he played the role of a gofer at Wutong Mountain, constantly cleaning up Nie Zhenren's messes. And this junior disciple, while lacking in other skills, shared his master's gentle temperament.
No matter how troublesome the task, he never uttered a word of complaint.
Just like with today's matter.
If it weren't for him, Master Qingfeng would have had to rush over here hastily, instead of arriving so leisurely...
Wait a moment.
Master Qingfeng suddenly twitched his nose.
He caught a faint whiff of blood, and as they drew closer to the Ancestral Temple, the pungent scent grew stronger.
Those foxes, could they have dared to defy him?
With a furrowed brow, the boy glanced back.
The elder with the walking stick had a trembling face, and his hand gripping the stick was shaking uncontrollably.
Fur sprouted from his skin, and his head transformed into that of a fox at a visible rate.
"Master... Master! What is the meaning of this?!"
Its eyes flickered with scarlet light, but it struggled to suppress its demonic aura as it asked a trembling question.
Master Qingfeng averted his gaze awkwardly.
He seemed to have misunderstood something.
He quickly kicked Tang Yuan, "I'm asking you, what's the meaning of this?"
Tang Yuan quickly bowed, "It's nothing major, Master. I've already mediated between Da Qian and Qingqiu, and they're both quite amicable... It's just that later, they insisted on seeking personal vengeance, but they didn't win and suffered quite a few casualties."
"How many casualties?" Master Qingfeng asked after hearing this.
"They should... they should all be dead," Tang Yuan replied hesitantly.
"This is bad." Master Qingfeng muttered, sensing that things were taking a turn for the worse. He turned to look at the old fox, worried that it thought he had deliberately delayed it and then arranged for its descendants to be ambushed and killed.
If that were the case, he would be creating more blood debt today.
"... "
The old fox with the walking stick didn't dare to entertain such thoughts.
It just stared intently at the mountain where Da Qian was located, its eyes fixed on the figure sitting cross-legged.
Its eyes were already bloodshot.
It sensed the scent of the Qingqiu clan on that person.
The next moment, a vast power descended upon it, immobilizing it in place.
"Don't rush, I'll go ask about it."
Master Qingfeng casually rang a bell, also soothing the other party.
"Woo! Woo!"
The Qingqiu ancestor struggled to move his eyes, wishing he could tear this boy apart, but he dared not show his emotions.
They had killed his clan, and now they were controlling him first?
What the hell was going on?!
