Chapter 492: Chapter 252: Helping Feng Jue and Maximizing Benefits
"The only person who could alarm Elder Qiu must be someone in the Golden Core stage, otherwise, there wouldn’t be anyone else," Feng Jue’s expression was becoming increasingly grave in the ancient pavilion.
Wen Jiu said nothing, watching the Tier Three Array that had been redeployed once again activate before looking away, "Brother Feng, why not sit down for a meal? How about this, one Tier Two Lower Grade Blood Corpse Mushroom in exchange for a meal?"
"Brother Han, now is not the time for jokes." Although Wen Ya’s cooking was indeed good, with his challenges against Zuo Xin Kui, the Sect Leader’s direct disciple of the Yin Kui Sect looming, he had no appetite whatsoever, not even for a bite, his gaze remaining fixed on the sky.
"The worst has happened." By the ancient pavilion, Feng Jue stared gravely into the distance, his brows tightly furrowed, pondering silently, "The three of them have joined forces again. Are they planning to forcibly attack the Little Demon Realm?"
A voice echoed gently within his soul, "Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that the emergence of the Little Demon Realm is extraordinary, and the opportunities within the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven are undoubtedly significant. The Three Life Gates have already occupied the Far North, Far South, and Far West, and it’s natural for them to covet the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven. But if they intend to take it by force, boy, you won’t have any chance left, losing such a valuable place for cultivation for nothing.
With the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven, even if you enter just once a year, I am confident I can help you reach Foundation Establishment Perfection within ten years. Without it, who knows when it will happen?"
These words plunged Feng Jue into silence, as he tightly focused on Elder Qiu and Daoist Wei above in the sky.
Like Feng Jue, the other cultivators in the Little Demon Realm, aware of what was happening, also gazed towards where Elder Qiu stood.
A hundred breaths later, Daoist Wei hurriedly flew to the clouds with his entourage, and then from the west of the Little Demon Realm, three Startled Swan figures quickly swept over. Both Daoist Wei and Elder Qiu’s expressions gradually grew grave with worry.
The scene from half a year ago when the three of them broke through the Tier Three Array with force was still vivid, making it hard not to worry.
They have come with ill intentions.
Those with good intentions do not come.
The three have returned, what good could it bring?
As the three from the Mo Palace approached, Elder Qiu and Daoist Wei exchanged a glance, already prepared for a fight to the death. Yet, knowing that the three were Heterodox Golden Cores, even ten lives might not be enough.
"Vice City Lord of Wind and Cloud Immortal City, greets the three Masters," Daoist Wei, having no other choice, bowed and saluted, not daring to neglect his manners.
Elder Qiu followed suit with a salute, "Greetings to the three Daoist friends."
Mo Palace stood with hands behind his back, slowly stopping a hundred zhang away from the two, and coldly stated, "Bring out Pei Wuxing."
Upon hearing Mo Palace directly call Pei Wuxing by name, Elder Qiu’s heart sank, indeed confirming their ill motives.
In haste, he recited what Pei Wuxing had instructed, "Please forgive us, dear Daoist friends. Our master is currently discussing the Dao with Master Du in Wind and Cloud Immortal City and it’s unclear when they will conclude. However, I have reported the three masters’ arrival, and I believe our master will receive the news shortly."
Mo Palace sneered with disdain. If he hadn’t had eyes and ears in Wind and Cloud Immortal City, he might have believed Elder Qiu’s words, "In that case, perfect. Tell Pei Wuxing to inform Master Du that the three of us also have the intention to discuss the Dao and have brought a unique gift from the Celestial Demon Sea for him."
Elder Qiu, upon hearing this, tightened his heart. He initially thought Mo Palace’s trio was targeting the Little Demon Realm, but did not expect them to be after Master Du, blatantly stating they brought a gift.
Any fool could understand the implications, yet without delivering the message, the situation would only become more complicated. It might even give the Three Life Gates an excuse to seize the Little Demon Realm, aiming directly at the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven.
"Dear Daoist friends, please enter the Little Demon Realm and wait. I will certainly convey your message."
Elder Qiu gestured an invitation, despite his displeasure, he dared not show negligence.
Mo Palace nodded and followed inside, but before entering the Little Demon Realm, he warned Elder Qiu and Daoist Wei in front of all the cultivators, "Tell Pei Wuxing to hurry, the gift we prepared for Master Du from the Celestial Demon Sea cannot be delayed. If time is wasted and the medicinal efficacy of the spiritual medicine dissipates, Wind and Cloud Immortal City will be fully responsible."
This statement seemed a warning to Elder Qiu and Daoist Wei, but was actually meant for the Heterodox Cultivators in the Little Demon Realm to hear.
Medicinal efficacy dissipating?
This is utterly ridiculous!
Unless holding the Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine bare handed, how could the efficacy dissipate?
Yet Mo Palace said these words straightforwardly, clearly bullying Wind and Cloud Immortal City, but on Wind and Cloud Immortal City’s side, no one dared to retort. This only deepened the despair in the hearts of the cultivators already lacking confidence in Wind and Cloud Immortal City’s future.
...
After Mo Palace’s trio entered the Little Demon Realm, Feng Jue was already on edge.
Wen Jiu noticed, curiously asking, "Brother Feng, they are here to see Master Du, not to trouble you, what are you worried about?"
"Brother Han, to be honest, before I came to see you, I had already sent a challenge to Zuo Xin Kui, the Sect Leader’s direct disciple of the Yin Kui Sect. By now, Zuo Xin Kui should have already received it."
Feng Jue hastily explained.
Wen Jiu realized.
However, he didn’t think Feng Jue was worried about being unable to beat Zuo Xin Kui. Feng Jue dared to rebel against the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, would he be afraid of a Golden Core True Inheritor? He was probably worried about being discovered by Mo Palace of the Yin Kui Sect.
"Brother Feng, why did you suddenly decide to challenge him?" Wen Jiu further inquired.
Feng Jue explained, "Recently, there really hasn’t been any worthwhile missions to take. I noticed that Master Pei was quite dissatisfied with the True Disciples being repeatedly defeated by Sea Cultivators from the Celestial Demon Sea. So I thought I could alleviate his worries and in exchange, get another chance to enter the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven. With the current situation at the Divine Fall Mountain Range, my idea is to improve my strength as quickly as possible. Though the opportunity came, it’s more troublesome than I imagined."
