Chapter 322: I Don't Need Your Excuses
Chapter 322: I Don't Need Your Excuses
The celestial cloud in the sky not only awed the entire Armament Sect but also caused all cultivators in the distant towns at the foot of the mountain to bow and recite, "We humbly welcome Clearwind Master."
The moment the azure cloud swept by, it captured everyone's attention.
"It seems like he's heading our way."
Zhu Jue struggled to maintain his golden body's composure, while Wu Daoan felt his Yin Spirit waver, his voice trembling as he said, "Actually... we're kind of on the same level as him."
Da Qian and Wutong Mountain were allies.
The Temple Guardian was the first seat under the Patriarch.
There were only four rotating shifts.
Clearwind Master was merely the twelfth disciple of Wutong Mountain's Patriarch.
Based on this comparison, Wu Daoan's words held some truth.
"Can you stop trembling?"
Zhu Jue glanced at him helplessly, "Look at Shen Shidi, so composed."
"..."
Hearing the voices from behind, Shen Yi calmly turned to look at the azure cloud in the sky.
The reason he wasn't nervous was that he had met this person once before.
Secondly, he had already prepared himself.
To revive Da Qian, Wutong Mountain was an obstacle they couldn't avoid for now.
These powerful individuals were the main force against the Thousand Demons Cave.
Even Shen Yi himself had to rely on their protection.
But compared to begging for favors, Shen Yi preferred to let them see his worth.
"Master, let me introduce you to this person..."
Before Tang Yuan could finish his sentence, Clearwind Master kicked him away, "No need for introductions, go stand over there."
The Taoist-robed youth descended angrily and approached Shen Yi.
Zhu Jue and Wu Daoan finally prepared themselves and solemnly greeted the Wutong Mountain Master.
However, the first words from the other party nearly made them drop their jaws in shock.
"I'm asking you, did I ever invite you to a meal?"
Clearwind Master clenched his teeth in anger and lowered his voice, "You won't even give me this face?"
His reputation as Clearwind Master was built on his handsome face.
Whoever dared not give him face would be going against Wutong Mountain and Elder Nie!
The last time they met, he thought this young man was handsome and extraordinary, with a demeanor reminiscent of his own youth.
But now, the more he looked, the angrier he became.
What personal grudge?
The last time this young man managed to enter the Immortal Mansion beside Zhang Mingyang and emerged alive, becoming an extraordinary senior in the eyes of those cultivators.
Such a figure, a reckless fool? Would he dare to approach his enemy on his own?
Clearwind Master waved his sleeves in anger, "A personal grudge, huh? I'll tell you this, even if Da Qian and Wutong Mountain are allies, you shouldn't play like this. Since it's a personal grudge, you should handle it yourself."
After saying this, he stared intently at Shen Yi.
However, he found that the young man's face showed no signs of change.
After hearing these words, not only Zhu Jue and Wu Daoan but even Xu Hongde and the Sixth Ancestor were astonished.
Shen Shidi actually knew Clearwind Master?
But after hearing this, it didn't seem like they were particularly close.
"I was saying that Shen Shidi has a wide network."
The Yamcha Manifestation leaned against his head and secretly transmitted a message to Little Wu.
"..."
Wu Daoan also kept his head down, too lazy to bother with this chatterbox.
In truth, both of them had calmed down.
Clearwind Master seemed to be venting his anger, but he had already given Shen Shidi a way out.
After all, Green Hill was already considered ruined.
Even the Ancestor Fox was pinned down by a treasure.
Their value now was far less than the rising Da Qian.
As long as Shen Shidi softened his attitude and admitted his mistake.
This represented Da Qian's recognition of Wutong Mountain's status and their willingness to serve them.
In this way, helping their little brother resolve a matter with an old fox was nothing of importance.
However, time slowly passed.
Yet, they still hadn't received Shen Yi's response.
Even Zhu Jue couldn't help but look up.
They saw Clearwind Master's anger gradually dissipating, his expression becoming calm: "I'll ask again, is it a private grudge?"
In that instant, he transformed from a youthful boy into a proper Wutong Mountain senior.
"..."
Shen Yi slightly lowered his gaze, a hint of indifference and a faint smile on his lips: "It's a private grudge."
What the other party truly wanted to ask was actually something else.
Whether he was willing to take up the agreement made by Qingqiu and serve as a loyal servant.
Or, to continue clinging to the identity of an ally.
After all, the original pact was to resist the Thousand Demons Cave together, and it did not include Qingqiu.
If they still wanted to maintain the status of allies, then Wutong Mountain had no reason to interfere further.
And Shen Yi's reply was extremely concise.
He slowly stood up and looked towards the distant clouds.
The next moment, his entire person suddenly disappeared from his original spot.
"..."
Clearwind Master slowly straightened his body, and after a long silence, he indifferently shook the bell in his hand.
The next moment,
A long roar suddenly erupted from the skies, filled with boundless resentment, piercing and ferocious.
"This..."
Wu Daoan never expected the situation to escalate to this point.
But the Yamas Manifestation abruptly stood up.
Zhu Jue understood his junior's choice.
They just needed to follow, and at any cost, maintain Da Qian's status.
Xu Hongde and the Sixth Ancestor exchanged a glance and also took out their Array Disks.
In their hearts, they couldn't help but feel deeply impressed.
Even Wutong Mountain couldn't suppress this young man, and they had even considered keeping him before.
Such a person was destined to not be content with being beneath others.
But on second thought, a cultivator willing to submit to others, unable to control even their own life, how could they have the qualification to protect others?
Only a person like Shen Yi was worthy of the Xu Clan's allegiance.
At this moment, Clearwind Master rolled his eyes and waved, enveloping everyone within a light barrier: "I said it's a private grudge, why are you all getting involved?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jue was taken aback.
The "private grudge" the other party mentioned clearly referred to Da Qian and Qingqiu.
But now, it had shifted back to Shen Yi and the Qingqiu Patriarch.
He had softened, and in the end, he still didn't abandon Da Qian.
After all, if the other party truly let go, if Shen Yi lost, Qingqiu could naturally retaliate against Da Qian.
But now, it was different, just a deadly duel between two cultivators, which wouldn't cause too much of a stir no matter what.
However, Zhu Jue couldn't bring himself to feel happy.
He punched the light barrier with force, and the three-zhang-tall Yamas Manifestation staggered back a few steps, almost shaking his Yin Spirit out.
"Tsk."
Clearwind Master took out a bag of dried fruit and glanced at Tang Yuan beside him, his face filled with worry but unable to speak.
He chewed on the dried fruit with dissatisfaction: "How about this, you all praise me for being handsome and graceful, and when I'm satisfied, I might save his life later."
Damn it, when had he ever endured such humiliation?
They were rushing to give him a way out, yet he still looked down on them.
He had to find a way out for himself, right?
Or was his heart too soft?
If it were Nie Shixiong, he would have long ago killed this bunch with a sword, all their chattering and noise."
