Chapter 436: Chapter 433: The Price of Targeting Mo Qi (10)
"You’re courting death. Do you know that?"
The Bald Immortal gritted his teeth. In the four thousand, three hundred and sixty-eight years since he became an Immortal, this was the first time he had ever suffered such a monumental humiliation.
"Granny Jin Hua!"
The Bald Immortal turned to look at Granny Jin Hua. "Setting aside the rules of the Sub-Palace exchange, and regardless of what this pig has done to the disciples in the Spirit Pool, I am an Immortal who has been repeatedly provoked by it. I believe I have the right to seek justice for myself!"
"Surely you don’t intend to interfere in the personal grudge between me and this pig, do you?"
Granny Jin Hua frowned. With things having reached this point, she could no longer protect the Pig Emperor.
Besides, she could see that the patience of the experts from the Hall of Envoys was nearing its limit.
If she continued to show such baseless favoritism, she would likely ignite a conflict, and the Immortals would no longer show deference to her status.
At that point, once they threw all pretense aside, it would trigger a war between the Hall of Envoys and Cold Cicada Valley.
That was not something Granny Jin Hua wanted to see.
What’s more, the Bald Immortal had already said he wouldn’t target Mo Qi, only the Pig Emperor.
Wu Bainian’s prior request was only to ensure Mo Qi’s safety; the Pig Emperor was not included.
"As long as you don’t break any rules or cross my bottom line, you may handle your private grudge as you wish," Granny Jin Hua said with a wave of her hand.
The Bald Immortal nodded, his gaze returning to the Pig Emperor and Mo Qi.
"Mo Qi, hand over your Beast Pet! I can ignore the grudge between us for now! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being discourteous!"
SWOOSH!
Two figures appeared, the Immortal Ancestors of the Feng Family and the Liu Family, simultaneously blocking the way in front of Mo Qi.
Inside the Spirit Pool, only Liu Ruyan and Feng Liang had emerged unharmed. How could they not know this was thanks to the Pig Emperor? Naturally, they had to take a stand.
"If you want to touch it, you’ll have to get through us first!"
Just then, a hundred tyrannical auras converged from all directions, unceremoniously forcing the two Immortals from the Feng and Liu Families to the ground.
The experts from nearly a hundred Sub-Palaces had acted at once!
While they weren’t as impulsive as the Bald Immortal, not daring to openly confront Granny Jin Hua, they were more than happy to provide support and watch the show now that he had taken the lead.
After all, suppressing the two Immortals from the Feng and Liu Families was a trivial matter for them.
If the Bald Immortal could actually kill the Pig Emperor, all the better!
The two Immortal Ancestors from the Feng and Liu Families wanted to cry but had no tears. They had only just been freed from suppression thanks to Granny Jin Hua’s arrival, and now they were suppressed again.
This time, the suppression was even more thorough; even their Cultivation was sealed.
Now, no one could stand up for Mo Qi and the Pig Emperor.
Seeing this, Wu Bainian quickly asked the two grannies, Silver Hair and Jin Hua, to intervene, but their stance was firm this time.
"Young man, one must be true to one’s word. You can’t just add new conditions on the fly. We won’t accept it!"
Qian Duoduo and the others all wore worried expressions, but Mo Qi and the Pig Emperor, the ones at the center of it all, looked completely relaxed.
"Pig Emperor, what’s the plan for this one-on-one? Should I take it, or will you?" Mo Qi asked with a smile via voice transmission.
The Pig Emperor chuckled. "He called me out by name. Of course, this Emperor won’t back down. However..."
Its gaze swept maliciously across the other experts, its expression eerie.
"These people are kicking a man while he’s down; they’re all accomplices. This Emperor will make sure they learn their lesson!"
As it spoke, the Pig Emperor stood up from Mo Qi’s shoulder and shook its blubber.
WHOOSH!
The Pig Emperor leaped into mid-air.
At some unknown point, a custom-made black robe had appeared on its body.
Mo Qi: "???"
’What’s going on?’
’Since when did this guy have clothes? And where did they come from?’
’Just a second ago, it was buck naked, pink and plump. How did it suddenly become a pig wearing clothes?’
’This scene is so out of place!’
If even Mo Qi was surprised, it went without saying for everyone else.
The Pig Emperor became the center of attention, with all eyes fixed upon it.
"It seems you all have quite a problem with this Song God!" The Pig Emperor stood upright, its front hooves clasped behind its back, pacing back and forth on the empty air.
"It’s not that this Song God looks down on you, nor is this Song God trying to single anyone out. What this Song God wants to say is... everyone here is trash!"
As it spoke, the Pig Emperor’s hoof casually rested on the knot of its robe.
Down below, only Mo Qi noticed this detail.
’Oh no! This guy is about to pull something big!’ Mo Qi’s expression changed as he guessed what was coming. He quickly averted his gaze from the Pig Emperor and sent a voice transmission to his own people, as well as to the two grannies, Silver Hair and Jin Hua.
"Close your eyes, now! Whatever you do, don’t look at the Pig Emperor!"
Qian Duoduo and the rest of Mo Qi’s allies trusted him completely. They immediately shut their eyes and bowed their heads, not looking at the Pig Emperor.
Although Silver Hair and Granny Jin Hua didn’t know why Mo Qi said this, they still subconsciously chose to trust him and closed their eyes.
"You dare spout such insolence when death is at your door? Die!" The Bald Immortal’s resentment was immense. He couldn’t wait to tear the Pig Emperor to pieces to vent his hatred.
Immortal Power surged. The Bald Immortal raised his hand, sealing the space in a ten-zhang radius around the Pig Emperor. He then brought his hands together in a crushing motion.
Instantly, the sealed ten-zhang space around the Pig Emperor began to rapidly shrink.
He intended to crush the Pig Emperor alive, squashing it into a meat paste.
But the Pig Emperor remained motionless, completely unfazed. It took a deep breath and suddenly shrieked, "Aaaah! This Emperor is going to die!"
Aaaah! This Emperor is going to die!
The shrill scream echoed endlessly across the island.
Except for those who had been warned by Mo Qi, everyone else—be they friend, foe, or neutral—stopped what they were doing upon hearing the Pig Emperor’s cry and focused their attention on it.
FWOOSH!
The Pig Emperor perfectly timed the opening of its robe, revealing a grimy scroll.
The scroll was wrapped around its body, going from its neck, down its chest, through its crotch, and around its back several times.
Anyone who didn’t know better would have thought it was a small vest.
On the front of this "vest" was a dark, grimy splotch, and on the back was a hollow circle.
Huh?
The experts all looked bewildered. ’What is this mess?’
Only Huangfu Zhong frowned. He had a feeling he had seen the pattern on the Pig Emperor’s "vest" somewhere before.
The black splotch and the circle...
’So familiar!’
’Wait!’
Huangfu Zhong suddenly remembered something. As if struck by lightning, he stood frozen in place like a wooden post.
’It’s over!’
’That’s the "Yin Yang Primordial Qi Egg" that pig drew!’
’Looking at it gets you pregnant!’
’My god, what have I just done?’
’Wait a minute!’
Huangfu Zhong stiffly turned his neck and looked at the crowd of experts all staring intently at the Pig Emperor.
’What the hell have we all done?!’
’We’ve really screwed up big time!’
