The two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Azure Cauldron Sect happened to be carrying out official business nearby.
And, to be safe, Zhong Wuyou had sent them transmission talismans requesting aid beforehand.
Yet he had never expected...
These two had simply been sitting atop the mountain, watching tigers fight!
After all... ever since Patriarch Hongyu had burst onto the scene, the atmosphere in the Forest Kingdom's cultivation world had become quite delicate. One mountain could not hold two tigers!
Although Zhong Wuyou knew the Azure Cauldron Sect was no good either, he had never expected that, with the Black Blood Sect as a looming enemy, they would dare watch the fire burn from across the river—and even kick a man when he was down!
What was more, there had only been these two Foundation Establishment cultivators nearby at the time. Zhong Wuyou had had no other choice...
"Damn it!"
Aaron hurled another handful of Yin Fire Pearls, forcing Dongmen Xue back, then poured a mouthful of hundred-year-aged Essence Recovery Wine down his throat.
Though he appeared to be locked in an even fight with Dongmen Xue through these little tricks, he was actually only barely holding her back. Once the Yin Fire Pearls and talismans were exhausted, he would be in trouble.
This still wasn't cautious enough. I only filled two storage bags with talismans and magical artifacts before coming out to handle business... They'll last, at most, a few hours before they're used up.
Shen Qingchen was faring even worse than Aaron. If he had not been dividing his attention to protect her, White Crane Fairy would have killed her long ago.
As for Zhong Wuyou?
His condition was the worst of the three.
