Yesterday's chapter has been updated with over 6000 words.
I didn't notice the kids turning around and flipping through it.
The stall owner, Zhou, fell silent and simply lowered his head slowly.
Upon hearing this...
Wang Ziyu looked regretful.
In this world.
This is the fate of forces outside the orthodox order.
Alternatively, one could learn from the Lu Family's Spirit Mountain, find a big tree, wag one's tail and beg for mercy, and become someone's guard dog.
Or...
Just like the Cauldron Sect, they were manipulated at will, without even the right to utter a sound.
Jiang Yuechu silently made her plans.
It's Spirit Mountain again...
Looking back on my journey, it seems that many things have been related to this mysterious Demon force.
As it stands...
Behind this Spirit Mountain stands more than one lineage of Daoism.
To be an enemy of Spirit Mountain is to be an enemy of most of the orthodox Daoist Sect in the Eastern Territory.
Now it seems there are only two paths to take.
Alternatively, they could follow the Lu Clan Spirit Mountain, find a Daoist lineage to attach themselves to, and become lackeys to find a way to survive for the Great Tang.
Or...
They fought their way out.
But neither she nor the Great Tang, which was in dire straits behind her, had the ability to contend with such a behemoth.
The girl raised her head and slowly spoke.
"Do you know the names of those two Demon Emperor?"
The stall owner, Zhou, stiffened and abruptly raised his head.
A hint of surprise flashed in the cloudy eyes beneath the bamboo hat, but he quickly composed himself and nodded, saying, "Of course I know. One is the Demon Emperor of the Fourth Cave of Spirit Mountain, who calls himself Taiyuan, and the other is the Demon Emperor of the Seventh Cave of Spirit Mountain, Green Fox."
"Both demons... are at the advanced stage of the Later Realm Tower-Ascending Realm."
Later Realm Tower-Ascending Realm, there are two Demon Emperor in the realm, plus the backing of the Pure Yang Lineage.
This business is not easy.
Jiang Yuechu was indeed envious of those hand gloves, but she wasn't an ignorant fool.
If we fight with everything we have, using all our trump cards, we might be able to kill our opponent.
But what happens after you kill them?
Wouldn't that just needlessly fuel the anger of the Pure Yang Lineage?
For a mere Law Treasure, they risked the fate of the entire Great Tang Dynasty.
Not worth it.
The girl remained silent for a long time, the burning passion in her eyes gradually cooling.
She shook her head, her voice cold and clear.
"I can't do that right now."
The words had barely left his mouth.
The straw hat behind the stall trembled slightly.
The stall owner, Zhou, whose back had been straight, suddenly collapsed.
Too.
What is he hoping for?
Looking across this vast Eastern Territory, how many people would dare to touch the heart and soul of the Pure Yang Lineage for a Law Treasure?
I was just indulging in wishful thinking.
Since the deal fell through, there's nothing more to say.
Zhou was losing interest and was about to say something polite when he heard the girl's voice again.
Where are the people from the Cauldron Sect currently being held?
The stall owner, Zhou, was taken aback, and subconsciously replied, "Still in Spirit Mountain..."
Jiang Yuechu nodded slightly. "Killing Wang Canglan is something I can't do right now, nor do I dare to do, but I can help you rescue the people from the Cauldron Sect."
Upon hearing this,
Wang Ziyu's eyelids twitched violently.
How much better is this than killing Wang Canglan?
Could it be that he's become addicted to killing?
Having just slain two Demon Emperor, are they now going to raid someone else's lair?
However, the stall owner, Zhou, showed no sign of joy.
Rescue the sect?
What happens after they're rescued?
Although the Eastern Territory is vast, where can the Cauldron Sect find refuge?
As long as Wang Canglan is still alive.
Even if they flee to the ends of the earth, they will never give up.
He knew it too.
Even if it means killing Wang Canglan...
With the death of a prodigy, the Pure Yang Lineage will inevitably drag the entire Cauldron Sect down with them.
"Whether it's saving lives or taking lives, the Cauldron Sect... is already in a dead end. Since it's a dead end, why seek a way out? All we want now is a venting of our anger."
Even if the Cauldron Sect were to be wiped out.
As long as I can drag Wang Canglan down with me and watch him die in front of me.
besides.
It was all in vain.
Everything felt so powerless.
This is the tragedy of the weak.
They don't even have the power to choose between life and death.
Jiang Yuechu listened quietly.
He neither refuted nor mocked the other party's stubbornness.
How similar was the Great Tang to its counterpart?
However, there is only one difference.
That is, in the Great Tang, there was Jiang Yuechu.
She only glanced at the hand gloves.
He then turned around and walked away.
Before leaving, he said, "Think it over carefully. I will stay here for a few more days. If you make a decision and can accept this compromise, come find me again."
The three of them strolled around White Jade Plaza for a while longer.
The Lu Family's Treasure Gathering Assembly truly lived up to its reputation.
Many things that Jiang Yuechu had never seen before broadened her horizons.
Some of them even stirred a flicker of passion within her.
I had only just asked the price.
Jiang Yuechu left the stall without any expression.
Wang Ziyu watched from the sidelines, thoroughly amused.
Opportunities to see Jiang Yuechu suffer setbacks are rare.
"I'm not watching anymore."
The girl turned away with a flick of her sleeve; seeing too much of this was just annoying, and she'd rather get to know the Lu Family first.
Niu Ben, who was following behind, seemed somewhat uneasy.
His dark face was full of struggle; he seemed to want to speak but hesitated, opening his mouth several times only to swallow the words back.
Jiang Yuechu glanced sideways, puzzled, and said, "Just say what you want to say. Why are you putting on such a show with that stubborn face?"
Niu Ben shuddered, then gave an awkward smile, "Actually, it's nothing..."
"Tsk..."
Seeing the girl's impatience, it quickly said, "What I wanted to say was, after this matter is settled and you have obtained the Golden Body Method, could... could I leave for a while?"
"Are you going to Spirit Mountain?"
Moo?
Niu Ben suddenly looked up, his two bull eyes wide open, his face full of astonishment. "You... how did you know?"
Jiang Yuechu rolled her eyes.
"I'm not deaf."
Earlier on the way, they were ambushed by three powerful Great Demon from Spirit Mountain.
Although she was confronting the Demon Emperor Qianyu, her mind was tense.
However, this does not mean that one is completely ignorant of the things around them.
Especially the Crimson Blood Demon Emperor, whose voice was as loud as thunder, making it impossible not to hear him.
"Judging from what that Tiger Demon said, the demons of the Great Marsh went to settle scores, but instead of getting their revenge, they got themselves caught up in the crossfire."
Upon hearing Niu Ben's originally straight spine slumped slightly.
A bitter expression appeared on his face. "Actually, in the past, if Spirit Mountain had gone too far in bullying us, even daring to harm the demons of our Great Marsh, given the Prefect Lord's past temper, he would have already stormed our doorstep..."
At this point, Niu Ben sighed, his eyes filled with confusion.
"But for some reason, the Prefect Lord didn't make a move this time, instead sending my eldest sister alone..."
Although its eldest sister is quite powerful, it's rather reckless for her to go and cause trouble on someone else's territory all by herself...
The result was as expected.
Niu Ben took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and said in a deep voice, "Although I am of little skill, I still know the meaning of loyalty."
"Big Sister did it for Great Marsh's sake, and also for the sake of us brothers."
"Now that she's trapped in that den of wolves and tigers on Spirit Mountain, her fate unknown, if I were to remain hiding outside as if nothing had happened..."
"Then my life as a demon is just too tasteless."
That's all.
He looked at the girl with some trepidation.
After all, there had been a prior agreement with the other party.
But now he has broken his promise, and the Demon Emperor of Spirit Mountain has even arrived earlier.
If it weren't for the girl's terrifying strength...
There's no reason for three people to be standing here now...
