Chapter 499: Chapter 255: What’s Going On? The Real Intimidation Method
Poof—
With the final strike, Feng Jue pierced through Zuo Xin Kui’s head, shattering the protective talisman and embedding it in the deep pit formed by the battle.
Zuo Xin Kui’s aura gradually weakened until it vanished completely. Cultivators from the Little Demon Realm were both shocked and relieved, but none cheered. Instead, they all stared at the commotion above the Hidden Pavilion.
The cultivators from the Three Life Gates were also fully prepared for the battle at this moment.
Feng Jue was no exception.
Just then, a figure flew out above the Hidden Pavilion, attracting everyone’s attention. To their surprise, it was a Daoist surnamed Du, not Master Mo Gong.
Daoist Du was actually applauding, "Not bad, not bad. An Earth Yang Dao Foundation, coupled with an excellent Divine Soul attack technique. Your foundation, talent, and fortune are all outstanding, surpassing late-stage cultivators while still in the mid-stage."
"Daoist Du, you overpraise me." Feng Jue swallowed a recovery elixir and hastily turned to bow, keeping a sharp eye on the interior of the Hidden Pavilion.
He was somewhat puzzled.
Somewhat anxious and confused.
Others felt the same.
Soon after, Mo Gong also followed out. Though he didn’t applaud, he expressed praise, "Daoist Du truly has an eye for talent, instantly recognizing this young lad’s ability to defeat my poor disciple. This time, I’ve lost ten thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones sincerely!"
These words and this scenario immediately left the cultivators from the Three Life Gates dumbfounded, as it wasn’t what they had imagined. It also left the Little Demon Realm cultivators perplexed.
But Feng Jue was inwardly delighted, though he didn’t understand what had happened. It was obvious that Mo Gong didn’t lose his temper and didn’t further exploit the incident with Zuo Xin Kui, likely due to the presence of Daoist Du.
Daoist Du’s applause, coupled with Mo Gong’s endorsement and praise, explained a lot.
Soon, the Sect Leaders of the Hidden Kill Sect and Jue Ying Sect came out, supporting their words with flattery. This scene left the Three Life Gates cultivators even more bewildered and the Little Demon Realm cultivators overjoyed.
It seemed.
The trouble might be resolved.
They were safe!
As the cultivators from the Little Demon Realm rejoiced, Pei Wuxing also came out and deliberately said, "You young rascal, why were you so heavy-handed? Go and shut yourself in introspection. Come see me when you realize your mistakes!"
Wen Jiu watched this scene, amused at Mo Gong and his two companions’ restrained anger.
Mo Gong looked grim, his teeth nearly cracking, but he could only suppress his anger and say, "Master Pei, Daoist Du, now that the duel has concluded, let’s not linger. Let us drink together and reminisce another day."
The Sect Leaders of Hidden Kill and Jue Ying Sect quickly agreed and respectfully saluted Daoist Du.
"If that’s the case, then let’s disperse. I’ll invite you three again for such matches next time," Wen Jiu immediately set the groundwork for the next meeting, already planning it for next month.
Once a month.
Reasonable extortion.
If the three were unwilling to come, he would personally invite them.
No matter what, any trouble was borne by Wind and Cloud Immortal City, and ultimately by Daoist Du, so it didn’t matter to him at all.
Acquiring resources for Corpse Nourishing, Ghost Cultivation is crucial, as the Golden Core isn’t the end but a new beginning.
...
"What are you standing there like a blockhead for!" Mo Gong coldly glared at the cultivators from the Three Life Gates outside the Hidden Pavilion and flew away like a Startled Swan. The Sect Leaders of Hidden Kill and Jue Ying Sect immediately followed.
The Three Life Gates cultivators, though foolish, realized some issues at this moment, quickly saluted, and hurriedly retreated.
As fast as they came.
Even faster they left.
The cultivators from the Little Demon Realm couldn’t help but feel amused, excitedly shouting, unleashing the anger accumulated in recent days.
Even though they didn’t have much belonging to Wind and Cloud Immortal City, being cultivators from the Divine Fall Mountain Range, they were displeased and angry at the previous bullying by outsiders. Now, as Mo Gong couldn’t even retaliate for his true disciple’s death, it was genuinely satisfying.
"Master Pei!"
"Daoist Du!"
"Daoist Du!"
"Daoist Du!"
Cheering erupted wave after wave.
Daoist Du’s name subtly overshadowed the cheers for Pei Wuxing.
Pei Wuxing, without showing any emotion, saluted East Spring Undying Bone before everyone, "Thank Daoist Du for helping me through the crisis."
Wen Jiu knew Pei Wuxing’s little thoughts but didn’t mind. After all, Pei Wuxing’s offerings were timely.
"No need for words, remember to deliver the Blood Corpse Mushroom quickly." Leaving this message, Wen Jiu directly departed, reluctant to say more.
Pei Wuxing bowed again, "Daoist Du, have a safe journey."
"Farewell Daoist Du!"
"Farewell Daoist Du!"
The Little Demon Realm cultivators promptly bowed and shouted like a storm at sea.
"Alright, let’s disperse." Once East Spring Undying Bone’s figure completely vanished, Pei Wuxing immediately waved, signaling everyone to leave. Then he focused on Feng Jue, tossing a Tier Three Healing Elixir at him, "Well done. After recovering, go train in Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven for a while."
"Thank you, Master!"
Feng Jue was overjoyed.
Then he quickly saluted Daoist Wei and Elder Qiu and departed.
At that moment, he was eager to return.
His mind subtly had a bold guess.
...
On another side.
After leaving the Little Demon Realm, Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone, using Ghost Concealment Three Rivers and Hidden God Technique to pursue Mo Gong and his companions. Even within their Divine Sense range, they couldn’t detect the presence of East Spring Undying Bone.
As for why he followed them, it was to ensure that acquiring the thousand Tier Two Lower Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicines wasn’t only through threats.
A little more intimidation was necessary.
And what method most effectively intimidates others?
It’s naturally the most direct force.
Sure enough, after leaving the Far South, the three swiftly flew towards Celestial Demon Sea without returning to the Far West. Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone, waiting at a critical path leading to Celestial Demon Sea.
Mo Gong and his two companions were racing towards Celestial Demon Sea, ready to report the matter promptly to the Master of the Three Gates, gripped with anger along the way, even intending to enlist Demon Pill Cultivators from the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect to eliminate East Spring Undying Bone.
Evidently, the three had murderous intentions.
But Wen Jiu did not.
If it were before, he would certainly have eliminated them immediately.
But for now, having overwhelming self-preservation power, Wen Jiu’s mindset has changed remarkably compared to before.
In Wen Jiu’s view, the trio’s anger was somewhat laughable. Yet, killing them was inevitable, but extorting them a bit longer, nurturing his corpses, ghosts, and insects to Tier Two Peak before acting.
Because by then, he would need to completely leave the Divine Fall Mountain Range; otherwise, cultivation resources wouldn’t keep pace.
Moreover, the Little Demon Realm was being watched by the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, and soon, it might attract the West Mountain Floating Domain Lord’s Mansion. Before long, conditions there would become even more complex, making it unsuitable to stay for long. It’d be better to seek a Tier Three Yin Vein at West Mountain Floating Domain for cultivation, even if the daily effects on Corpse Nourishing or Ghost Cultivation were slightly lacking.
After all, acquiring high-grade resources was viable.
"Such an unbearable humiliation we’ve suffered? Revenge, we must seek revenge!" The Sect Leader of Hidden Kill Sect angered continuously.
The Sect Leader of Jue Ying Sect flew on, shouting angrily, "I refuse to believe this. He’s strong, but surely not stronger than our five Golden Cores; plus, with Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect backing us. When reporting to the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, I’ll assert he targeted the Blood Demon Sect’s remnants, making them eliminate him!"
Mo Gong nodded, "Sounds achievable, summon the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, for even strong, he’s merely in the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment."
Suddenly.
A message resonated ahead.
"I didn’t hear your words clearly, could you repeat them?"
This sentence struck terror.
Divine Senses immediately locked onto East Spring Undying Bone, purposely releasing auras for detection.
"Damn it!"
The Sect Leader of Hidden Kill Sect instantly took out a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact, determined to fight to the death.
The other two did likewise.
"Let me pretend I haven’t heard your words. I’m here solely for wealth, so best don’t compel me to kill," Wen Jiu communicated again, concealing his aura, and escaped using Blood Corpse Escape.
Witnessing Daoist Du vanish before their eyes, unable to detect any aura with Divine Sense, the three remained frozen for a long time. Unaware, cold sweat had soaked their backs.
[Requesting monthly tickets.
Anyone still has any?
Feique is earnestly begging!]
