Chapter 527: Good Things Are Worth Waiting For
Chapter 527: Good Things Are Worth Waiting For
First, they humiliated the Seven Sages of Nan Hong, then the Seven Sages Assembly, and finally, they directly targeted one of the sect leaders.
If he just sat there and did nothing...
Daoist Bi Hai of the Azure Sea Sect didn't think that the Yunhe Sect would be willing to aid such a cowardly sect and stand against the two mighty Dragon Palaces.
From the changes in the elders' expressions earlier, it wasn't just her overthinking things.
These people had truly started to question the current strength of the Seven Sages of Nan Hong, and even looked down upon Nan Hong a little.
Moreover, the situation was even more serious than that. The Dragon Consort's banquet had gathered almost half of the power in West Hong, and if this matter spread... The consequences would be unimaginable.
Moreover, this sea snake demon was clearly making things up, doing its best to belittle and disparage them.
Putting aside the others for now.
Daoist Bi Hai's thoughts were simple. She hadn't thought of revealing her identity, but she at least wanted to prove the current strength of the Seven Sages of Nan Hong and the attitude of the Seven Great Sects in front of the cultivators of the Yunhe Sect, to show that they weren't as weak and bullyable as others imagined.
That was why she had used the excuse of standing up for the Xian Sect to try and suppress this sea snake demon's arrogant demeanor.
But what she hadn't expected was that this excuse, which was perfectly normal in Nan Hong, would immediately be seen through in West Hong.
Daoist Bi Hai felt the gazes around her growing colder and colder. Whether they were demons or cultivators, even though they had just been bickering with each other, they now unanimously presented a united front against her.
Perhaps most of the forces here couldn't be said to have any grudges or clear understanding of the Seven Sages of Nan Hong.
But this xenophobic mentality often came from instinct, with no regard for reason.
She had suddenly become the only "outsider" in the entire place.
"Um..." The Daoist of Yunhe Sect wanted to say something more, but the elder next to her quietly pulled on her sleeve. In this situation, if she didn't want to become the target of public criticism, it was best to remember her identity as a member of the West Hong forces and not take the wrong side.
Moreover, the Seven Sages of Nan Hong were a formidable group with six Grand Masters at the Unity realm. Aside from the Dragon Palace, it would be difficult to find an opponent for them in all of West Hong. If they couldn't even handle this situation, it meant that they had already lost their spirit and confidence. How could they dare to follow them in opposing the Dragon Palace? That would be pure suicide.
"...?"
Daoist Bi Hai slowly scanned the surroundings. Her identity had already been half-exposed, and she now felt a bit stuck between a rock and a hard place.
She could only win this battle, not lose!
Logically speaking, as a Daoist, how could she be afraid of a mere sea snake demon whose strength was only comparable to that of two cities?
But at this moment, the sea snake demon didn't even glance at the drop of blood hanging in the air. Instead, it slowly backed away two steps.
Right now, in the entire grand hall, there were already quite a few figures who were eager to stand up.
Those were all powerful demon clans that were no weaker than the Azure Sea Sect. The ones who had come to the banquet were the elites of their clans, each one proud and arrogant. Now that they saw a barbarian who was most likely from Nan Hong acting so arrogantly, they could hardly suppress the killing intent in their hearts.
"Since Fellow Daoist wants to stand up for them, then this seat will..."
A skinny, pitch-black old demon with an indistinct form slowly started to stand up.
However, before it could even finish speaking, it sat back down in silence under the sweeping gaze of the White Tiger in the main seat.
"You're probably not just a cultivator from Nan Hong, are you?"
The robust White Tiger demon stood up, taking a step forward and crossing over the jade table. As its towering figure straightened, its huge shadow instantly enveloped the cloud-patterned floor tiles in front of it, bringing with it a profound sense of oppression that caused the entire grand hall to quiet down significantly.
The dancing beauties in the hall also froze, their fair shoulders pressed together as they stood there, unsure of what to do.
The expression on the face of the Daoist from the Yunhe Sect instantly turned ugly.
The power behind this White Tiger, while perhaps not as influential as the Seven Sages in Nan Hong, was already considered a terrifying demon clan in the fragmented West Hong. Among those present, only the aloof and serene woman sitting there could rival it.
The White Tiger demon seemed to be enjoying this feeling.
It strolled forward unhurriedly, not even glancing at Daoist Bi Hai as it passed by her. Without looking left or right, it walked to the door of the hall, blocking the exit, and then turned around abruptly!
Its ferocious tiger eyes exuded a heart-chilling viciousness as it said in a low voice, "Do you think I'll give you the chance to show off here?"
This woman was definitely no ordinary cultivator. Even though she concealed it well, she couldn't hide the aura of someone who had been in a high position for many years.
She was most likely a Daoist, and there was a high possibility that she came from one of the Seven Sects of Nan Hong.
Was she trying to conceal her identity and take the other forces by surprise? Wasn't that a bit too much?
"...?"
Daoist Bi Hai's eyelids twitched. Among all the demons present, if she had to say which ones she wasn't confident about defeating, there were probably only two.
One was the alluring woman in the blue feathered skirt, and the other was this White Tiger before her.
At the same realm of three cities, the other party's bloodline was so thick that it was frightening.
About a 40% chance of winning?
She silently calculated in her mind, her finger slowly moving towards her brow.
That was enough.
As long as she could win, there would still be room for discussion about asking for aid.
At the same time, the scarlet drop of blood, wrapped in a powerful aura, quickly drifted over to the White Tiger demon's side.
No one had expected that at the Dragon Consort's banquet, they would get to witness such an exciting scene.
But what if she wins by some unlucky chance?
Don't forget, there are still three more of its tribesmen sitting at the head seat, guarding this White Tiger, and their strength and cultivation are no weaker than this tiger itself.
Would Yunhe Sect dare to meddle in this matter?
Everyone fell silent and looked towards the door of the hall. The robust White Tiger seemed surprised that the woman was so stubborn. It paused for a moment, then opened its mouth, revealing a silent smile.
Although standing at the door was already a declaration that it would not let the woman leave this place intact.
But what the White Tiger really wanted to see was her fearful expression, not this stubborn and defiant attitude, which was seriously affecting its mood.
"Good! Very good!"
It sneered and waved its claws, reaching for the drop of blood.
The drop of blood merged into its palm, as if fulfilling some kind of agreement.
The White Tiger's body hunched slightly, and in an instant, a bloody stench swept through the entire hall!
"Roar—"
Like a tiger's roar in the mountains, making all creatures submit.
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they fell silent. Even Daoist Bi Hai of the Azure Sea Sect, her brows furrowed deeper, after all, among the Daoists of Nan Hong's Seven Sects, she wasn't particularly outstanding. Forget comparing her to Red Sleeve, even compared to Wei Yuanzhou, she was slightly inferior.
At this moment, she also refrained from speaking. A purple and green beam shot out from between her brows, streaking straight towards the outside of the Water Domain!
In this tense and dangerous atmosphere, a somewhat lazy voice sounded out of place.
"Hey."
The youth in the corner, dressed in black, stared at the White Tiger's back, but his thoughts were obviously elsewhere, his drifting gaze seemed to pierce through the White Tiger and fall on something in front of it.
The youth calmly put down the wine cup in his hand, not smashing it like Daoist Bi Hai, but the slight sound still attracted everyone's attention.
The surprise in the eyes of these demons and cultivators was no less than before, perhaps even more so.
Who would dare to intervene at such a time?
They carefully observed the young man.
He wore only a plain black shirt, his thin lips pressed together, his face cold, and his eyebrows carrying a hint of arrogance.
Although he, like the woman, had no signs of identity, no one thought he was from Nan Hong.
Because, whether it was the youth's lazy tone or his calm demeanor, it didn't seem like he was from another place at all. It was as if he knew everything about what was happening, and even carried a hint of the Northern Hong cultivators' thinly veiled contempt for the affairs of Western Hong.
And so they were even more curious as to what he wanted to say.
"..."
The White Tiger demon silently turned its head, looking up and down at the young man sitting alone in the corner.
Shen Yi looked back calmly, and then his next words caused everyone's expressions to change again.
"You're blocking my view of the dance."
They finally understood where the young man's drifting gaze had fallen—on the group of trembling beauties.
What the hell... is this the time to be watching the dance?
Could it be that a battle between two powerful beings at the Three Cities realm is less important than a group of Dragon Palace dancers?!
Daoist Bi Hai frowned, looking at the youth's black shirt, which seemed vaguely familiar, but such long shirts were everywhere, and besides, the person in front of her was completely different from the impression she had of the Sect Master. Whether it was his temperament, the way he spoke, or what he paid attention to, they were completely dissimilar.
"Heh... heh..."
The White Tiger suddenly lowered its head and laughed twice.
In an instant, its massive body loomed over the slender youth, its huge palms pressing down on the table, its massive head almost touching Shen Yi's, their eyes locked, and its breath sprayed onto his pale face.
Its throat rolled as it spoke in a deep voice, "So what?"
The atmosphere changed again.
The White Tiger demon's anger shifted directly from Daoist Bi Hai to this reckless young cultivator.
In the presence of everyone, they wanted to know what else this youth could do.
In the next moment, under the tiger demon's foul breath, Shen Yi's hair drifted slightly, and the little expression he had on his originally cold face gradually faded away.
He stared straight into the tiger's eyes, then reached out his hand, his long and slender fingers with distinct knuckles, slowly resting on the tiger's ferocious face.
"So, get out of my way."
It was clearly a calm statement, but it carried an air of arrogance, as if he were giving an order, not asking for permission.
This high and mighty attitude was completely unconcealed.
However, arrogance always needs something to support it, otherwise, it will only bring humiliation.
Perhaps it's strength, perhaps it's background.
But for now, this young man hasn't shown any of that.
On the other hand, the White Tiger demon's face was already twitching, its eyes wide, its vertical pupils exuding a chilling coldness, and its fangs protruding from its lips, with saliva dripping down. Its blood-filled mouth seemed to contain a roar that could tear the heavens apart.
Everyone held their breath.
"What if I say no?" The White Tiger demon asked, its lips curling up in an exaggerated arc.
At these words, a faint, mocking smile appeared on Shen Yi's face, one that everyone could sense. It was as if he had heard some ridiculous joke. "You... say no?"
In an instant, a loud bang reverberated throughout the entire hall.
The table that the White Tiger demon was propping up with its palms instantly collapsed, and its elbows slammed into the cloud-patterned floor tiles, causing the entire towering jade hall to shake violently a few times.
The tiger struggled with all its might, but under the pressure of the slender hand on its head, its robust body tensed up, veins popping out, as if it were about to burst, yet it still couldn't lift itself up even an inch.
Shen Yi looked down at the white tiger, his expression unreadable, but his intent clear to all.
It was as if he was asking the tiger why it dared to look him in the eye.
This completely unexpected scene caused the entire hall to go deathly silent; even the drop of a pin would be audible.
Daoist Bi Hai of the Azure Sea Sect still had her finger on her brow, but the rainbow light that had shot out was gradually fading.
She quietly swallowed.
If this young man was an elder pretending to be young, that would be one thing, but if he was truly as young as he appeared, then the foundations of West Hong had far exceeded the imaginations of the Seven Sages of Nan Hong.
The remaining West Hong cultivators, including the Daoist of Yunhe Sect, exchanged uncertain glances.
This White Tiger demon hadn't even been able to force the youth to reveal his Daoist weapon, yet it was being ruthlessly suppressed, and they couldn't discern the youth's identity.
It was now clear that the youth was definitely not a cultivator from West Hong, but his exact identity and status were still a mystery.
Just then, Shen Yi seemed to sense something and glanced up at the dome.
The motion of his hand, which had been about to crush the White Tiger's head, paused slightly. Just as the tiger was about to collapse, he slowly withdrew his hand.
Shen Yi stood up straight, his gaze falling on the group of dancers, and he lightly nodded his chin. "Continue."
Following this, as the White Tiger violently raised its head, the black-booted foot of the youth stepped on its face, pushing it back down.
Without so much as a glance at the tiger, Shen Yi nonchalantly said, "You also have the qualifications to say no to me?"
As he spoke, his boot casually rubbed the tiger's face.
Then, with an air of indifference, he stepped over the tiger and strode toward the main seat, his black shirt fluttering.
Such arrogant and domineering actions finally enraged the three elder tigers of the White Tiger's tribe.
Without any hesitation, the three tiger demons, though in human form, pounced like real tigers, vanishing from their original spots.
"It's over..."
Everyone in the hall sighed in unison, thinking that today's events had truly escalated beyond control, and they could only hope that the Dragon Consort wouldn't take out her anger on them.
However, Shen Yi didn't seem to sense the danger, and his strides remained steady and unaffected.
In the next moment, three loud bangs rang out again.
Astonishingly, the three tiger demons, who had just disappeared, were sent flying and tumbled on the ground, struggling to stabilize themselves.
Under everyone's stunned gazes, the beautiful woman in the blue feathered skirt quietly appeared behind Shen Yi and stood there without a care in the world, as if the three fierce tiger demons glaring at her didn't exist.
Shen Yi walked up to the main seat and lazily leaned back in it, looking down at everyone with contempt in his black eyes.
But when Yu Lan obediently knelt behind him and started massaging his shoulders, his posture seemed perfectly natural.
The fact that a member of the Lapis Lazuli Cyan Phoenix Tribe would willingly act as his servant and seemed pleased to do so was astonishing!
Shen Yi poured himself another cup of the divine wine and leisurely swirled it, his gaze finally landing on the group of furious yet fearful White Tiger demons.
"If you're not convinced, gather your tribe and come find me at the Lapis Lazuli Cyan Phoenix Tribe."
"Come anytime, and bring more people."
"I'll be waiting for you."
Finally, the youth no longer hid the contempt on his lips. After delivering his message, his gaze returned to the Dragon Palace dancers.
He put away his smile and said, "Now, get out."
From the beginning to the end, these were the only words Shen Yi truly wanted to say.
It was inconvenient to eat here under someone else's watch.
It had been challenging to find an opportunity like this, and although he had a suitable identity, someone had still stopped him at the last moment.
Fortunately, he had gained the support of a powerful demon clan.
He believed that these tiger demons, given their personalities, would give him a pleasant surprise when they left the Water Domain.
Good things are worth waiting for. For now, he would just let it stew.
However, what truly piqued Shen Yi's curiosity was the Dragon Consort. She had clearly noticed what was happening here and wanted to save these tiger demons, so why didn't she show herself or send someone to stop this? Instead, she chose to remind him of her presence by sending out her aura.
