Chapter 367: Betting on the Nine Thousand Year Peach, Li Half-Saint Fights a Great Peng Ascending [Monthly Votes Requested] (Part 1)
The spring rain was drizzling down.
As the warmth of spring just began to show, the rain became even more damp, as if soaked in oil.
The pitter-patter of the spring rain fell on the black tiles, producing a sound akin to the ticking of a clock.
In the Fourth City of the Divine Capital.
Since today was the grand opening of the most spectacular Peach Blossom Banquet in the Divine Capital, the entire main street was bustling with excitement. Many martial guests and cultivators from various regions and paths, who usually could not set foot here, all came to the Fourth City, eager to see where the upper echelons of the Divine Capital resided.
However, they did not expect to witness such a dramatic scene.
A cold, domineering, and tyrannical voice, like a shockwave, reverberated through the main street, powerful and resonant.
In an instant, it completely drowned out the noise of the bustling street.
The overwhelming aura of a Martial Saint, like a mountain peak being split in half and collapsing, pressed down, making people feel suffocated and unable to breathe.
The main street fell silent all at once.
Many people looked on with curiosity and confusion.
Witch Mountain?
Isn't that the force from outside the Great Jing Dynasty, within the Great Li Dynasty Palace?
None of the martial cultivators who had managed to make it to the Divine Capital were fools; they all knew what Witch Mountain was about.
The towering figure, with a hood and black robe removed, revealing a head of wildly flying golden hair, looked like a vicious wolf on the grasslands, filled with a ferocious and tyrannical aura.
The totem and patterns painted on his face were even more sinister.
Golden Furred Dog!
Nie Yang gripped his sword, his eyes narrowing, breathing heavily. His sword... it might still be effective against a Three Blossoms Grandmaster, but against a Martial Saint... it was far too strenuous.
Moreover, this Golden Furred Dog in front of him was clearly no ordinary Martial Saint.
Buzz—
Suddenly, a gentle surge of divinity emerged, as if a pair of eyes slowly opened inside the carriage, completely blocking the tyrannical aura of the Golden Furred Dog.
Inside the carriage.
Jin Tai Sui's face was pale. He sat behind Xixi, his eyes somewhat dazed.
"It's... my brother... Golden Furred Dog..."
Jin Tai Sui spoke in a low, heavy voice.
Li Che leaned against the carriage, a calm smile on his face, not taking it to heart.
But Zhang Ya beside him was somewhat angry.
"How can you tell him to get lost like that? Such a domineering tone! And to stop our carriage on the street... this person is really overbearing!"
Zhang Ya rarely encountered such overbearing people in the Divine Capital.
Aside from the first time they came to the Divine Capital and met the concubine Ji Gui, who brought Prince Lu Chi to propose a marriage, even Ji Gui was not this overbearing.
And this Golden Furred Dog, a person from the Great Li Dynasty Palace, dared to act so arrogantly in the Divine Capital?
Xixi's eyes widened, her cheeks twitching, and she directly lifted the carriage curtain and walked out.
Jin Tai Sui was now her servant, her little brother. As the big sister, how could she let her little brother suffer?
Xixi was very angry!
The carriage curtain was lifted, and a wave of aura rolled out. Xixi glared with anger, her two braids tied with red ribbons bouncing with energy.
She placed her hands on her hips, took a step forward, and stood on the carriage pole, glaring at the arrogant and domineering Golden Furred Dog blocking their path.
"Jin Tai Sui is my little brother. You, Golden Furred Dog, what are you barking about?"
Xixi, though only six years old, had a temper. Except for her father, mother, and the Master of the Demon Den, she feared no one and gave no one any face!
Moreover, this Golden Furred Dog was here to snatch her little brother. As the big sister, how could she stand for it!
If she backed down, Xixi's reputation would be completely ruined!
How could she continue to mix in the children's circle in the future?
In the distance, the carriages that were about to proceed all stopped, and many eyes peered out from inside.
Lu Tai Bai lifted the curtain, his eyes narrowing as he spoke to Zhao Fang Zhou in the same carriage: "Sect Master, it's the Golden Furred Dog from Witch Mountain... one of the heroes sent by Witch Mountain to exchange with the Great Jing Dynasty. His strength is formidable, said to have already crossed the Sea of Qi and reached the peak of the mountain path."
Lu Tai Bai's silver hair fluttered, and he smiled faintly: "He has already opened the Heavenly Gate. After all, he possesses the bloodline of a Great Witch God, and his talent is indeed remarkable."
"What should we do..."
"It's fine. This guy could have provoked anyone, but he chose to provoke Xixi. The last person who provoked Xixi is long dead."
Behind Xixi stood Li Che, and behind Li Che stood the Netherworld. Even someone of Ji Gui's status, staying within the ancient manor of the Ji Family, received no mercy from the Netherworld, which dared to invade and take her life.
This was enough to show the Netherworld's strength.
Hearing Lu Tai Bai's words, Zhao Fang Zhou put his mind at ease.
Meanwhile, more and more people gathered to watch the spectacle.
...
...
The Golden Furred Dog's face turned cold, looking indifferently at the little girl who had emerged from the carriage.
A little girl with barely grown hair dared to speak to him like that?
Dare to call him a Golden Furred Dog?
He was a Golden Furred Dog!
His face was merely painted with a wolf totem. Besides, it was a wolf, not a dog!
"Little girl, you may be small, but your mouth is big..."
The Golden Furred Dog didn't want to argue with a six-year-old girl. Winning would be unheroic, and if the little girl cried, he would be criticized by many. He wouldn't stoop to a verbal spat with a girl.
His gaze shifted, looking into the carriage.
He sensed a Divine Embryo cultivator inside, blocking his aura, but it wasn't a big problem. After an initial clash, he perceived that the person inside the carriage was not too strong in divinity, likely only at the First or Second Divine Transformation realm.
It was probably Li Che, the Divine Sculpture Half-Saint who had recently caused a stir in the Divine Capital.
The Golden Furred Dog had just returned from the Western Ling Path to the Divine Capital and had heard about the new Divine Sculpture Half-Saint, Li Che, who had been personally received by the Grand Inspector of the Celestial Observatory.
Li Che's status was indeed noble, but what did it have to do with him, the Golden Furred Dog?
He didn't need Li Che to sculpt divine sculptures for him.
"Willing to lose, you understand? Little Jin wanted to compete with me, and he lost. So now he's my little brother!"
Xixi placed her hands on her hips, glared, and puffed out her little belly.
Jin Tai Sui slowly emerged from the carriage, having washed off the totem on his face, looking somewhat refined. He looked at the Golden Furred Dog, a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Brother."
Jin Tai Sui lowered his head.
The Golden Furred Dog's eyes turned cold as he looked at Jin Tai Sui indifferently.
"You disgraceful fool, get down here and tie yourself up. After the Peach Blossom Banquet, I'll take you back to the Sorcerer Mountain to see the Great Sorcerer God."
His voice was devoid of emotion and brotherly affection.
In his eyes, Jin Tai Sui's actions had completely disgraced the Sorcerer Mountain, and he was not worth keeping alive.
However, Jin Tai Sui shook his head.
"Brother, I accept the bet and will stay for the agreed-upon duration. When the time comes, I will return to the Sorcerer Mountain and pay my respects to the Great Sorcerer God..."
Jin Tai Sui clenched his fists and bowed.
After following Fang Shangzhen and being educated alongside Li Hua in the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, Jin Tai Sui had also learned proper etiquette and manners.
The Golden Furred Dog looked at Jin Tai Sui with disdain, his eyes filled with increasing loathing.
"Jin Tai Sui, don't forget that you are from the Great Li Dynasty's Sorcerer Mountain, and you carry the bloodline of the Great Sorcerer God. Don't act as if you're a native of the Grand Jing Dynasty. I've also been to the Southern Region, and the scholars there are not good people! They are a bunch of venomous creatures who devour people without spitting out the bones!"
The Golden Furred Dog narrowed his eyes, and his face, covered in tattoos, instantly revealed a cold and ferocious expression.
"Now, I'll give you one last chance. Get down here and bind yourself. Come with me!"
"Otherwise, you will never return to the Sorcerer Mountain."
The Golden Furred Dog spoke in a deep voice.
Xixi's two pigtails swayed, and sparks erupted from under her feet as the two Hell Lotus Flame Wheels spun rapidly. Her fighting spirit surged, and she glared fiercely.
"Little Jin, don't worry. Xixi the Great will protect you!"
However, the curtain was quickly lifted.
Just as Xixi was about to fly, Li Che grabbed her and pulled her back onto the carriage.
"Even children understand accepting the outcome of a bet. Why can't you, a grown man, understand?"
Li Che's ink-colored robe fluttered in the wind, and his black hair rustled vigorously.
Li Che smiled faintly.
At the moment Li Che stepped out, the Golden Furred Dog felt the spiritual energy of the world suddenly become vast, like a giant hand about to tightly grip his heart.
The Golden Furred Dog narrowed his eyes, resembling a vicious wolf eyeing its prey.
"Matters between adults should be resolved in an adult manner..."
Li Che smiled.
The Golden Furred Dog narrowed his eyes. "What does Li Half-Saint want?"
"After all, Jin Tai Sui does carry the bloodline of my Sorcerer Mountain's Great Sorcerer God. It is a bit embarrassing for him to be a servant, so I hope Li Half-Saint can give me some face and let me take Jin Tai Sui back. I, the Golden Furred Dog, will owe you a favor."
Upon hearing this, Li Che shook his head. "Face is earned, and you can't afford to owe me a favor... How about this: Jin Tai Sui lost a bet with my daughter and accepted the outcome. He made a vow..."
"If you want to take him away, it's not impossible. Jin Tai Sui made a bet with my daughter, so why don't you make a bet with me?"
The Golden Furred Dog crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows in surprise. "What are we betting on?"
"You must be here to participate in the Hero Gathering, right?"
The Golden Furred Dog laughed. "I participated in the last one, but unfortunately, I fell short of winning the championship. This time, I'm here to compete for the championship and claim that nine-thousand-year-old peach."
Li Che rubbed Xixi's head. "Then let's bet on who can pluck that nine-thousand-year-old peach."
"If you pluck the nine-thousand-year-old peach, Xixi's bet with Jin Tai Sui will be void, and Jin Tai Sui will return to the Sorcerer Mountain with you."
"But if I pluck the nine-thousand-year-old peach, you will serve me as Jin Tai Sui serves my daughter."
At that moment, the entire street in the Fourth City fell silent.
The spring rain pattered on the black tiles, creating a crackling sound.
Numerous gasps could be heard, and not only were there Jianghu guests on the street, but also young dragons from various divine sects. They all sat in their carriages.
Upon learning about the conflict between the Golden Furred Dog and Li Che from the Sorcerer Mountain, they all perked up their ears to listen.
Who would have thought that Li Che would propose such a grand bet!
Lu Tai Bai, leaning against the window, couldn't help but laugh. "What a confident young man."
Zhao Fang Zhou's expression was also strange. "Elder Li's tone has indeed become much bolder... However, only the winner of the Hero Gathering has a chance to obtain the nine-thousand-year-old peach..."
"The main banquet of the Hero Gathering is very different from the preliminary banquet."
Lu Tai Bai burst into laughter. "Don't worry. Does Elder Li seem like someone who would be at a disadvantage?"
Amidst the spring breeze and rain.
The Golden Furred Dog's golden fur swayed in the wind, and his eyebrows furrowed.
This bet...
How audacious!
This newly appointed Special Guest Minister of the Celestial Observatory, the Divine Sculpture Half-Saint... was so bold!
Most importantly...
The Golden Furred Dog couldn't help but twitch his lips...
You really don't consider the other heroes as people, do you?
You're talking about plucking the peach as if the other heroes are mere wooden figures.
Not to mention the likes of Ji Mo Li, the heir of a vassal king, or the first hero of the True Martial Sect, known for their exceptional combat skills, or the first hero of the Celestial Master Sect, the so-called number one divine sect in the Grand Jing Dynasty...
They were all extremely difficult opponents, and even the Golden Furred Dog didn't think he could easily defeat them.
Especially the Celestial Master Sect, which only sent three representatives to each Peach Blossom Banquet, and they were all genuine heroes with formidable strength.
"Li Half-Saint... How can you be so confident?" the Golden Furred Dog asked.
"What if neither of us manages to pluck the nine-thousand-year-old peach?"
Li Che laughed. "Then I'll consider you the winner... Jin Tai Sui will return with you. How's that?"
The Golden Furred Dog narrowed his eyes.
Wow!
You're truly audacious!
Why is a mere Eight-armed Three-headed Hell Lotus Invincible so arrogant?
The Golden Furred Dog looked straight at Li Che, and the confidence of the Divine Sculpture Half-Saint was indeed strong. It was said that he had just broken through to the Divine Embryo Realm upon arriving in the Divine Capital.
Even with the coveted cultivation house granted by the Celestial Observatory, which made everyone in the world envious...
How could he be so confident?
"If you're not willing to bet, then forget it. Don't block my carriage..."
Li Che's smile faded as he stood at the carriage, his black hair resembling lightning, slicing through the wind and rain. He spoke indifferently.
A surge of warmth filled the Golden Furred Dog's heart. Li Che had confidence in himself, and the Golden Furred Dog also had faith in himself.
He had failed in the previous Hero Gathering, but the Golden Furred Dog attributed it to his youth.
