No Friends or Enemies Forever
Achoo!
Inside the Fire God Sect's treasure vault, Cao Youqian inexplicably sneezed.
He rubbed his nose and muttered, "Strange, who is talking badly about me behind my back?"
The Great Sage Eight Treasures laughed and said, "The Holy Son is most likely one of those demons from the Fire God Sect. Judging by the timeline, they should have already encountered cultivators from the three major powers. After tonight, the Fire God Sect will basically be wiped out of the Barbarian Continent."
"Uncle-Master Eight Treasures, I didn't expect you to become so smart."
Cao Youqian joked.
Great Sage Eight Treasures: "..."
Seeing his expression, Cao Youqian patted him on the shoulder. "Uncle-Master, it was just a little joke, don't take it to heart."
"I don't believe you for a second."
The Great Sage Eight Treasures ignored Cao Youqian and continued to store the treasures in the treasury into his storage ring. The treasures inside were enough to allow him to advance several more steps.
As he watched the treasures fall into his pocket, the Great Sage Eight Treasures's displeasure and frustration vanished instantly.
As expected, following the Holy Son ensures a good life. If Junior Brother Mysterious Crystal knew what I had gained after returning home, he would surely regret it immensely.
After one night.
Within the Fire God Sect, only Cao Youqian and his group of survivors remained. The seventy-two attendants who had followed him earlier were all in high spirits.
Cao Youqian glanced at everyone present and said with a smile, "It seems you all had a good haul."
The Prince Mad Lion said with a smile, "We're only able to earn so much thanks to the Holy Son."
Cao Youqian asked, "Have you searched the entire Fire God Sect?"
The Prince Mad Lion shook his head. "No, we've only searched one-tenth of the area. There are still some King and Marquis residences we haven't searched yet."
It wasn't that they didn't want to search, but rather that they lacked the ability and could only wait for Cao Youqian and his two companions to make a move.
Cao Youqian pondered for a moment and said, "Then today, this Holy Son will lead you on a search."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with ecstasy, and they exclaimed in unison, "Thank you, Holy Son!"
While Cao Youqian and his disciples continued to plunder the Fire God Sect.
The two major forces have wiped out the remnants of the Fire God Sect and are flying towards the Fire God Sect's headquarters at top speed.
It was dusk.
The three major forces met outside the headquarters of the Fire God Sect.
Upon seeing Great Sage Guili, the Great Sage Profound Crystal Guili immediately asked, "Fellow Daoist Mysterious Crystal, this time your Giant God Academy has acted rather unethically."
Great Sage Profound Crystal quickly realized what the old man was talking about.
He smiled and said, "May I ask, fellow Daoist, if there is anything my Giant God Academy has done wrong, please point it out?"
Great Sage Guili narrowed his eyes and said with a forced smile, "Back then, the three of us agreed to attack the headquarters of the Fire God Sect together. Why did your Giant God Academy secretly send people to attack the Fire God Sect's headquarters?"
The two Great Sage of the Heavy Sword Academy did not speak upon hearing this, but simply stood aside and watched the show.
They were also somewhat confused about the Giant God Academy's operations, if it weren't for the fact that their two armies had already set off.
It seems the remnants of the Fire God Sect have escaped.
If those Great Sage were to escape, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Great Sage Profound Crystal asked in a serious tone, "You mean the Holy Son single-handedly stormed into the Demon Valley and suppressed the Fire Devil God, right?"
"Good."
Great Sage Guili never expected that the old man would admit it so readily.
The Great Sage Profound Crystal said, "I have nothing to explain. After all, this is the Holy Son's decision. Although I am a Great Sage, I am inferior to the Holy Son in terms of status, and I am still his defeated opponent in terms of strength. I cannot control what he does."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the four venerable Great Sage present changed.
Great Sage Xuantie said, "Mysterious Crystal Jing, are you treating us like fools by using such an excuse to fob us off?"
I was just stating the facts.
Great Sage Profound Crystal paused for a moment, then continued, "If you fellow Daoists do not believe me, you can have Fellow Daoists Xuan Tie and Heiming test the Holy Son's strength together."
"Fellow Daoist, you've gone too far."
Great Sage Wufeng said with some displeasure.
Although he was far away in the Barbarian Continent, the holy sons of the Great Sage were generally King and Marquis. Without using their most precious treasures, they would absolutely not be able to escape from the hands of Half-Saint, let alone strike Great Sage.
Great Sage Profound Crystal said, "Senior Brother Wufeng, we'll know whether it is or not after we see the Holy Son."
"Good!"
The Great Sage Guili said, "Then we'd like to see just how powerful this Holy Son of Dao Seeking who has come from afar is, that even a Great Sage like you is so wary of him. Let's go!"
As he finished speaking, the cultivators of the Nine Nether Holy Land marched in a grand procession into the valley.
The Great Sage Xuantie gestured for him to enter. "Fellow Daoist, please."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Great Sage Profound Crystal could easily see that these two major forces were trying to use the lives of the Giant God Academy disciples to blackmail him and prevent him from escaping.
But he wasn't afraid at all. Even the Fire God Sect had been suppressed by Heavenly Genius Cao, so why would he be afraid of these small Xiao Yu?
The disciples of the Giant God Academy sensed that something was amiss, but then they remembered that even an Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon had been suppressed by the Holy Son.
They didn't even consider these two minor powers a threat.
The three major forces entered the valley one after another, and the former allies now harbored resentment towards each other.
With Great Sage in charge, the Fire God Sect's formation naturally couldn't stop the army.
Around noon, a densely packed army arrived outside the headquarters of the Fire God Sect.
Cao Youqian was leading his men to search a King and Marquis's cave when he suddenly received a telepathic message from the Great Sage Eight Treasures.
"Holy Son, the cultivators from the Great Sage have arrived, and they seem to have ill intentions."
Upon hearing this news, Cao Youqian's lips curled into a slight smile. He addressed the crowd, saying, "Alright, our allies have arrived. Let's go and greet them first."
"Promise."
Although everyone was a little annoyed, they still left the mansion with Cao Youqian.
Before long, Cao Youqian and his group arrived at the main gate of the altar.
He had barely stepped out of the main altar when he felt several divine senses scrutinizing him.
Before he could even scan those divine senses, a chorus of compliments rang out from within the Giant God Academy.
"We pay our respects to the Holy Son! His divine might Peerless, dominating the entire world!"
No need for formalities.
Cao Youqian really liked this feeling, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.
But some people just love to interrupt other people's good mood.
"You are the Holy Son of Dao Seeking."
A majestic voice suddenly rang out.
Cao Youqian looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man with jet-black skin and blood-red hair staring intently at him with an extremely unfriendly expression. A powerful aura of a Great Sage Realm followed the old man's gaze and landed on him.
He grinned as if nothing had happened and said, "That's right, I am the Holy Son of Dao Seeking. Do you also want to witness the power of this Holy Son?"
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent...
