The Li Family brothers eagerly awaited the triumphant return of Xiao Tian and his companions.
" Boss Xiao! What's the situation?" With the battle Yiqi Dao League and Northern Mountain, Li Quzhuo couldn't help but worry, after all, the Peach Garden Li Family was an absolute high-ranking member of the Yiqi Dao League.
"The situation is not optimistic," Xiao Tian said, feigning a serious tone.
Wangquan Baye, Dongfang Huaizhu, Yang Yitan, and others were speechless. Dongfang Qinlan, not afraid of making things worse, stirred things up by saying, " Little Li, one of your Li Family's old men is in trouble. The Demon King of Northern Mountain is really powerful, but there's also a fat guy who's incredibly fierce. He killed eight powerful Demon King with a single sword strike."
"What?" Li Quzhuo eyes widened in disbelief. The old man of the Li Family? Could he be his father? Or his uncle?
Li Zizai noticed something amiss and met Wangquan Baye's gaze.
"Brother Baye, it wasn't easy for us to sneak back. The Northern Mountain Demon Emperor, Shi Kuan, is really damn powerful. He treats such a big mountain like a small stone. Hey." Xiao Tian patted Wangquan Baye on the shoulder, making Wangquan Baye's body tense up. He could only give up trying to convey a message to Li Zizai with his eyes.
After all, Xiao Tian's intentions were far too obvious! It was practically a direct 'If you dare to expose me, you're finished!'
People will always back down eventually Wangquan Baye admitted he was being cowardly, but it was just a joke that amused the Li Family brothers.
Although Li Zizai did not obtain relevant information from Wangquan Baye, he could roughly guess the truth.
"Hmph! Boss Xiao! You think you can scare us? Ridiculous! Stop trying to fool us. According to my analysis, you must have returned victorious and made quite a haul, right?" Li Quzhuo said, putting on an air of wisdom.
"Hey, believe it or not, we came back to comfort you, then abandon Black Wind Mountain and run away." Xiao Tian scoffed.
"Tch, Boss Xiao, no matter how eloquent you are, I won't be fooled by you," Li Quzhuo said arrogantly.
"Alright, then I'll lay my cards on the table Black Wind Mountain is ours from now on. Our Mask Group will become the tyrants of Northern Mountain, and we'll never have to worry about food or drink again."
Li Quzhuo frowned, and asked doubtfully, "Really? If the Yiqi Dao League and Northern Mountain are fighting, and you, Boss Xiao, don't reveal your identities when you go there, the Yiqi Dao League and Northern Mountain are very likely to join forces and take you out first. If the Northern Mountain Demon Emperor is also there..."
"Don't believe me? Fine, Big Li. Go and take Lord Ji out for a spin. Once he's regained some mobility, send him packing. Also, give him his mount, the Scarlet Bird. Hehehe, the demons of the Northern Mountain have given us so much benefit, we should release this Great Demon King." Xiao Tian chuckled.
The Three-Legged Golden Rooster was liberated, and when it saw the light of day again, it was so excited that it almost cried.
Drinking swill-like food every day almost shattered the proud and powerful heart of this Great Demon King and chief of the Seventy-Two Caves.
" Big Rooster, here's your mount back. Hurry up and go back. Also, tell Kang Jinlong and the others to send over the poultry, meat, vegetables, fruit tree seeds, and more as soon as possible." Xiao Tian patted the Three-Legged Golden Rooster on the shoulder and chuckled.
The Three-Legged Golden Rooster's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the Emperor had intervened. He hadn't expected that even with the Emperor's intervention, the hostages could only be peacefully released at a great cost. In an instant, the Lord Ji became even more fearful of Xiao Tian.
"Rest assured, Your Excellency, I will certainly urge Kang Jinlong and the others. Farewell." After bowing to Xiao Tian, Lord Ji grabbed his mount, the Scarlet Bird, and flew away.
