Clearing Things Up

At the Jade Pool, the Queen Mother of the West was sent flying back through the spatial passage, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Grandmother!"

Seeing this, Ning Rong's face turned pale with fright, and she quickly ran over.

"The guardian of the Heavenly Gate truly lives up to their reputation."

Qu Ying gritted her teeth, thinking that she had been too reckless.

At the top of the tower, the old man's sudden move instantly startled Xiang Tian, including Guang Hao.

Guang Hao gave him a thumbs up, "Old man, you're amazing. I didn't expect you to go after the Queen Mother of the West like that, without any hesitation."

The old man rarely made a move. The last time was when he tricked him into staying to guard the place after a bet.

Xiang Tian's eyes darted around. Immortal King Guang Hao saw Xiang Tian run over to the old man and squat down. The two of them whispered to each other about something.

"Old man, can you give me some divine source? Just a little bit, enough for me to call for backup."

"Oh, little one, my old bones can't handle your fuss. No divine source, just this worthless life."

"When I go to the Upper Realm next time, I'll bring you the best wine, plenty of it!"

"Deal!"

As expected, it's best to cater to their preferences. For a drunkard, wine is the most convenient approach.

"What are you guys talking about?"

Seeing Xiang Tian looking satisfied and beaming, Immortal King Guang Hao was a little confused.

"Nothing, nothing."

Xiang Tian said so, but the corners of his mouth were already split wide open.

Guang Hao rolled his eyes and looked at the horizon, "Changning should be coming soon."

As expected, not long after, Immortal King Changning appeared. He smiled at the two of them and then walked up to the old man, bowed, and handed him a pot of wine.

"You're the strong one, little guy. Unlike that brat Guang Hao, who only fights with me for wine all day long."

Guang Hao:?

"You old man, you've gone too far! You're too lazy to even step out of your door all day. When have I not run errands to buy wine for you?"

Immortal King Guang Hao was quite indignant, but he seemed to still be no match for the old man.

Immortal King Changning walked to Xiang Tian's side and, with a gentle touch, removed the restriction the Queen Mother of the West had placed within him.

He was also surprised that Xiang Tian had retrieved the Hun Tian Tu so quickly. That's why he rushed over the moment Immortal King Guang Hao contacted him.

However, thinking of Xiang Tian's many methods, he didn't dwell on the issue too much.

Looking at Xiang Tian, Immortal King Changning said, "Let's go. We'll pay the Jade Pool a visit."

"Go to the Jade Pool?"

Guang Hao, who was standing nearby, was speechless. "The old man just slapped Qu Ying away. She's probably still angry. Negotiating with her now might be a bit risky."

"Negotiate?"

Unexpectedly, Immortal King Changning glanced at him, and his next words almost made Immortal King Guang Hao collapse in shock.

"Who said we were going to negotiate? I'm going to dismantle their Jade Pool."

After saying that, he didn't even wait for Xiang Tian and directly pulled him away, disappearing.

Immortal King Guang Hao was still stunned, unable to react.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, his head was hit by a wine gourd. The old man, drunk, mumbled, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go persuade them. One is a hothead, and the other is also a hothead. Do you really want the Jade Pool to be dismantled?"

Guang Hao quickly followed. The old drunkard was still lying on the ground, muttering, "Little Lord, this time, it's up to you to show them."

At the Jade Pool, the Queen Mother of the West was still recuperating on the spot. She knew exactly how powerful that seemingly ordinary slap from the old man was.

It had directly caused her magic power to become chaotic, making her feel indescribably uncomfortable.

But just then, above the Jade Pool, Immortal King Changning appeared with Xiang Tian.

Seeing this, Qu Ying got up with a cold smile. "Kid, you're back so soon. I bet you didn't even get the Hun Tian Tu, did you?"

Immortal King Changning silently drew out the sword that had accompanied him his entire life, named Jing Yin.

Xiang Tian was also dumbfounded. He hadn't expected Immortal King Changning to be so bold, bringing him here and preparing to fight without a word.

Seeing his action, Qu Ying's expression turned cold. "Changning, what do you want to do?"

Xiang Tian quickly hugged Immortal King Changning and said, "No, no, no, don't make a move yet."

Then he said to Qu Ying, "I have never shied away from my unintentional offense to Ning Rong. I admit it was my recklessness. I can apologize for this matter."

After speaking, he waved his hand, and the treasures he had cherished for many years were all brought out.

"I can hand all of these over to your Jade Pool as my apology."

These items made the people of the Jade Pool's eyelids twitch.

"Didn't the Heavenly Gang Stones run out already? How does this kid have such a big piece!"

The sweet fragrance emanating from those jade bottles caused the elders of the Jade Pool's Pill Hall to change their expressions. The scent indicated that the alchemist's skill was definitely above his own!

"Holy crap, those weapons are Immortal Artifacts! Damn it, where did this kid get so many Immortal Artifacts? It's almost as many as are in the Jade Pool's treasury!"

Xiang Tian didn't lack these things; for him, it was just a matter of saying the word.

Although Qu Ying was shocked, her personality wouldn't allow her to swallow this insult. Moreover, Changning had fought her several times over this kid. How could she let this matter go?

With a wave of his sleeve, the items Xiang Tian released were instantly shattered into powder. Everyone felt a pang of regret. Why destroy such good things so casually?

"You little brat, does our Jade Pool even care for your trash? I advise you, don't get your hopes up. You only have one path now: die to atone."

Xiang Tian's face instantly darkened. This crazy woman truly wasn't afraid of death. If you don't accept it, fine, but why destroy my things?

Changning Immortal King stepped forward: "It's useless. For people like this, direct action is more effective."

"Immortal King Senior!"

But at that moment, Ning Rong ran over: "Changning Immortal King, although some things said might reflect poorly on us, I still want to ask you, aren't you moved at all by my grandmother's sincere feelings for you?"

Changning Immortal King's gaze grew colder: "I already made myself perfectly clear with her before. Furthermore, do you know what she did to me in the past? After all this time, she and I are completely estranged. Now, she's backing you, and I'm stepping up for Xiang Tian. Is there a problem with that?"

His words left Ning Rong speechless, and Qu Ying even more furious.

"Fine, you want to make a move, right? Come on, our Jade Pool will accompany you to the very end today!"

With that, Qu Ying formed a hand seal, and the entire Jade Pool Immortal Mountain began to tremble.

One, two, three!

A total of nine divine lights shot up into the sky as the Jade Pool Immortal Realm's killing formations were fully activated.

Another scorching sun appeared in the sky as the Immortal King Domain was unleashed.

Qu Ying soared into the air, her eyes filled with ferocity: "You little bastard, even Changning can't protect you today."

Just as Changning Immortal King prepared to draw his sword and step forward, Xiang Tian stopped him.

"Let me handle it, Immortal King. I've already apologized for Ning Rong's previous issue. If they don't accept it, that's their business. Now, I want to settle the score for that slap!"
