The Great Wild God - Chapter 100
Chapter 100 Avoid Disaster
Hearing Su Qingfeng say that Su Quan had barged through the door, but was instead angered by Chen Xun’s situation, the beautiful woman in the palace dress laughed until her branches trembled. She patted the long table with her hands and asked,
“Are you joking? Are you trying to make me laugh? Fourth Brother has been resting for so many years, can you make a half-grown child so angry that his liver and gallbladder split apart?”
Su Qingfeng smiled and said, “I want you to watch the show. You don’t want to see it. I suspect that I’m joking around with nonsense.”
“I, a small reverend from the Thousand Illusions Sect, how dare I interfere in your Su Clan’s affairs?” The beautiful woman in the palace dress smiled brightly.
Su Qingfeng’s heart was extremely happy. In front of his concubine Jiang Bingyun, there was no need to conceal the conflict between him and Su Quan. He smiled and said, “Fourth Brother will not be able to swallow this breath for a while. If you have the chance to see him in two days, you will know whether what I said is true or false.”
“Daddy didn’t lie at all. Fourth Uncle was so angry that he couldn’t get off the stage and left.” Qing Xuan couldn’t help but laugh when she thought of the situation in Copper Gong Alley.
“Was he the one who did it?” Jiang Bingyun asked.
“It’s hard to say,” Su Qingfeng said. “He should have done it, but looking at his face, I really can’t confirm it.”
“You can’t confirm it either?” Jiang Bingyun asked in surprise.
Even though he started cultivating his soul at the late stage of the True Yang Realm, how could he compare to an expert at the Reincarnation Realm?
Unless Chen Xun was exceptionally talented, he would not be able to show any fear in front of Qing Feng and Su Quan, who were both peak mid-Reincarnation Realm experts.
Hearing Qing Feng’s words, Jiang Bingyun was truly interested in this youth whose origin was unknown and who had been taken in by the black python for four years.
“Unless I use the Soul Search Punishment,” Su Qingfeng said, “it’s only for these trivial matters. There’s really no need for the Law Manor to use the Soul Search Punishment. Fourth Brother can only be dejected. Besides, those green-clothed disciples must have some guilt in their hearts. They don’t dare to continue confronting Chen Xun. Using the Soul Search Punishment may not be beneficial to Fourth Brother …”
“In that case, this brat is really not simple. When he grows up, he will be able to return the favor?” Jiang Bingyun also believed that Su Qingfeng would not tease her and joked with Qing Xuan, “Qingfeng, didn’t you say that you wanted to pick a son-in-law for Qing Xuan? Chen Xun, kid, you have to watch closely for Qing Xuan. Don’t let other families snatch it away.”
“Auntie Yun, you’re joking with Qing Xuan again.” Qing Xuan blushed and said coquettishly, “Qing Xuan has served Daddy all her life. Auntie Yun has never thought of getting married.”
Hearing Jiang Bingyun’s words, Su Qingfeng’s heart skipped a beat.
Qing Xuan looked at her adoptive father, Su Qingfeng, and quickly changed the topic. “I haven’t seen him for a year. It seems that Chen Xun’s cultivation hasn’t improved much. Could it be that he hasn’t been able to enter the Academy and can’t cultivate?”
Jiang Bingyun glanced at Qing Xuan and thought to herself that this little girl was very picky. However, she was not to blame. Qing Xuan had a very good chance of advancing to the Reincarnation Realm. Who would be willing to form a Dao-companion with a True Yang Realm cultivator?
When Su Qingfeng heard Qing Xuan mention Chen Xun’s cultivation, he remembered that Chen Xun was only at the fifth level of the True Yang Realm when he met Chen Xun at the northern mountain of the Python Fang Ridge the year before yesterday. He quickly advanced by leaps and bounds. He advanced to the seventh level of the Blood Transformation Realm, and his cultivation talent was also excellent. However, he had stagnated for a year at the seventh level of the Blood Transformation Realm without any improvement. Perhaps he had encountered a bottleneck in cultivation.
Su Qingfeng knew that Bing Yun was not joking about Qing Xuan’s marriage.
Although he and Su Quan did not break up, the conflict between him and Su Quan could not be eased.
This involved not only who would control the Su Wu Commandant’s Manor, but also who would inherit the magical artifacts after his old father sat down.
If he could obtain those magical artifacts, his chances of advancing to the Heaven Origin Realm would greatly increase. It was no longer something that he could give up just because of his brotherhood and compassion.
Although he and Jiang Ling both had the cultivation of the middle stage of the Reincarnation Realm, and there were nearly ten Reincarnation Realm experts who were loyal to him openly and secretly, as well as smart and capable subordinates like Ge Yi, when it came to the cunning of their minds, Chen Xun was truly worthy of being molded.
Even if Chen Xun had no chance of advancing to the Reincarnation Realm in his lifetime, Su Qingfeng knew that if he was taken under his command, the role he could play would not be weaker than that of a Reincarnation Realm expert.
Thinking of this, Su Qingfeng asked Jiang Bingyun, “Bingyun, you don’t even have a direct disciple in the Thousand Illusions Sect. You really can’t do that. You will take Chen Xun to your sect?”
“It’s not like I’m a crazy girl like Su Tang. Why would I accept a male disciple if I’m fine? Aren’t I afraid that others will gossip?” Jiang Bingyun blushed slightly as she shook her head and pushed Su Qingfeng’s suggestion, “Qing Xuan will be interested in learning my superficial skills in the future. I will teach Qing Xuan!”
Jiang Bingyun added, “You said that Fourth Brother might not be able to hold back this breath. You have to be careful with that brat. Don’t let Fourth Brother find an excuse to kill him casually …”
‘”Fourth Brother really has such courage. I don’t need to compete with him for all these years,” Su Qingfeng said. After thinking for a while, he said to Ge Yi, who was standing in the courtroom, “What kind of job do you have for the Guest Qing Court? It’s better to let that brat escape for two to three years than to stay in Azure Water City. When Su Tang comes out of seclusion, the Patriarch agrees to recruit her subordinates, so everything is easy to say …”
*********************
Chen Xun kicked Ah Qing, who was running over to curry favor with Sa Huan, to the side, letting Zhao Tu and Cai’er tidy up the miserable courtyard. He invited Gu Jianfeng, Zuoqiu, Gu Feng, and the others to the study to speak.
“Did you do it or not?” After all, Gu Feng was young and had experienced the introductory ceremony. He didn’t expect that just a year later, there would be such a big scene to see. His face was red with excitement, and he couldn’t help but ask when he entered the room.
Chen Xun laughed heartily, neither saying yes nor no.
Gu Jianfeng pulled Gu Feng. He knew some things clearly, so how could he ask?
Gu Jianfeng, Zuoqiu originally wanted to talk to Chen Xun about something else, but he didn’t want to encounter this.
Chen Chuan had been robbed of his pasture outside the city. Whether or not Chen Xun had done it was something that he knew very well. It was inappropriate to break the casserole and ask the whole story. Gu Jianfeng, Zuoqiu, and Chen Xun sat down in the study and brought up the matter of the nine races sharing control of Tianma Lake.
It had been more than a month since Gu Chen had returned to the Northern Mountain, and the area around Tianma Lake had been allocated to the nine races to manage.
The Montenegro Tribe was willing to give it to the other eight races, led by the Left Thorn Tribe, and they were willing to take over.
Previously, the Su Wu Commandant’s Mansion was a stronghold city built by the Gui Xi Tribe on the south slope of Tianma Mountain. It served as a gathering place for the products of the northern mountain of Python Ya Ridge and the wasteland of Lake Swamp to enter Cang Lan.
Previously, the forces of the Northern Mountain Races were extremely weak. There were only one hundred thousand people from over forty races. Not a single one of them advanced into the Reincarnation Realm. Even if they occupied the vast area of the northern mountain of the Python Fang Ridge and the southern part of the Lake Wasteland, they were limited in manpower and could obtain extremely limited resources every year.
The Black Mountain Tribe had 5,000 clansmen. They were considered great clans in the Northern Mountains, but in the past, when they gathered medicinal herbs, they could only refine over a hundred low-grade spirit pills a year.
In the past year, hundreds of rogue cultivators had flooded into Tianma Lake City. The northern mountain of Python Teeth Ridge and the Lake Wilderness were the only truly opened corners of the treasury.
In the past year, there were dozens of wild exotic beasts that had been hunted, and there were countless herbs and medicines. This was truly unimaginable in the past.
Back in Montenegro, Shandong was the corpse of a giant wolf. They had been besieging the Black Python for several months and almost fought an extermination battle. Now, even thinking about it, they felt their faces turn red.
Tianma Lake Stronghold City, as the relay point into the northern mountain of Python Ya Ridge and the Lake Wilderness, its geographical location suddenly became important. A large number of merchants poured in, causing Tianma Lake Stronghold City to suddenly flourish.
Including the nine races, hundreds of rogue cultivators and the population of Tianma Lake Stronghold City had already surged into the city.
The benefits involved were more than ten times greater than previously thought. As more and more rogue cultivators and merchants poured into Tianma Lake, it was entirely possible for a middle-sized city to form around Tianma Lake in the latter stages.
The products of the nine races didn’t even need to be shipped to Azure Water City from afar. They were all snatched away when they gathered in Tianma Lake Stronghold City.
Limited to the checks and balances of the Mysterious Frost Sect, the Su Clan was not allowed to directly interfere in the management of Tianma Lake Stronghold City on behalf of the Su Clan, so the Su Clan chose the Gui Xi Tribe as its agent.
In the past, even if the nine races saw the benefits inside, they were not qualified to compete for this fat meat.
Now that Qianlan had entered the Academy and had taken Su Lingyin as her master, and the Ghost Xi Tribe was at odds with Su Qingfeng, there was no need for Chen Xun to advise. Zuo Chonggu and the others gradually saw some tricks from it.
At this moment, the nine races had already invited Su Lingyin to be their Shangqing.
Every year, the nine races received large amounts of spirit pills and rare medicines and some heavenly treasures that could be used to forge magical artifacts. They could only exchange them for Su Lingyin’s title as a high-ranking official. Naturally, they did not dare to expect that Elder Su Lingyin, who was second only to the Prefecture Heads, would personally go to Tianma Lake on behalf of the nine races.
If the nine races really wanted to compete against Ghost Faction in Tianma Lake Stronghold City, it was not a simple matter.
With Su Lingyin’s name pressing down on them, the Ghost Xi Tribe did not dare to openly do anything vicious to the nine races. However, the Ghost Xi Tribe secretly picked one or two rogue cultivators and casually annihilated the Montenegro or that tribe. Who could the nine races complain to?
Just like earlier, even if Su Quan was inclined to believe that Chen Chuan wasn’t lying, Chen Chuan’s words couldn’t be self-fulfilling. Without solid evidence, Su Quan naturally couldn’t stand up for Chen Chuan and kill Chen Xun on the spot.
The nine races wanted to compete with the Gui Xi Tribe in Tianma Lake Stronghold City, and if they wanted to obtain the benefits they deserved, they had to forge their own iron.
The cultivation resources available to the nine races were much more than before. However, it would take time for disciples to grow up. The only viable way to grow up now was to follow the example of other sects and invite guest ministers.
Chen Xun was the first person that Zuoqiu, Gu Jianfeng, and the others had thought of.
As a guest of the Su Wu Commandant’s Manor, Chen Xun hadn’t shown his face in the past year, and no one remembered him.
As long as it did not conflict with the interests of the Su Lieutenant’s Manor, it would not prevent him from serving as a guest minister in other sects and clans.
Chen Xun had only mentioned this matter to Gu Jianfeng a month ago. He hadn’t expected the nine races to move so quickly. They had already begun recruiting guests and expanding their influence.
When he entered the mountains the day before yesterday, he discovered that the cultivation resources in the mountains around Canglan City had been completely exploited. Moreover, there were tens of thousands of loose cultivators gathered in Canglan City, and there was no chance for them to seal the mountains and nurture medicine.
With his cultivation, going deeper into the Tu Mountain was extremely dangerous.
At the same time, Su Qingfeng had the intention to protect him, but living under Su Quan’s shadow all day was not a problem. Returning to Python Fang Ridge to cultivate was a good choice.
Thinking of this, Chen Xun nodded and agreed, “Alright, I still want to live in the Northern Mountain for a while longer.” Then he asked, “What is Master Thirteen’s attitude?”
He thought that Zuo Chonggu was quite scheming. Since he had already made preparations to this point, it was impossible for him to ignore the Su Wu Lieutenant’s Manor.
“Master Thirteen’s attitude is the same. The Su Wu Lieutenant’s Mansion doesn’t care about the affairs of the Python Fang Ridge’s Northern Mountain, but my father was also hired as a guest by the Su Wu Lieutenant’s Mansion …”
Chen Xun laughed heartily. The Gui Xi Tribe had joined Su Quan. Su Qingfeng could not fight with Su Quan. He could only support the nine races to suppress the Gui Xi Tribe.
No wonder Su Quan came over to apologize. Su Qingfeng didn’t hesitate to personally go there. It turned out that it wasn’t all because of Su Tang. He should have seen that he was beneficial to the gathering of the Nine Clans. At the same time, it was also for the Nine Clans to see …
Chen Xun thought of something and asked Zuoqiu, “Can the Beishan Society keep an eye on Chen Chuan? When will he leave the city, come and let me know.”
“I really want to kill him!” Zuoqiu did not doubt Chen Xun’s ability to kill Chen Chuan, but if Chen Xun really killed Chen Chuan outside the city, how could Fourth Master Su Quan’s face have the slightest bit of brilliance?
Chen Xun had already left Azure Water City, so how could he care about Su Quan’s face?
This time, he had formed a grudge with Chen Chuan. If he had the chance, he would have a legitimate reason to kill him. Could it be that he still had to wait for him to strive for strength and succeed in his cultivation before coming to seek revenge on him?
