The Great Wild God - Chapter 261
Chapter 261 Background
Inside White Wolf City, the spiritual energy was dense. Chen Xun sat quietly until late at night, swallowing and absorbing the spiritual energy to refine his aperture meridians several times. He heard someone in the courtyard say something. At this moment, his injuries were no longer serious, so he pushed open the door and walked out. He saw Su Qingfeng standing in the courtyard, talking to Lei Wanhe and the others.
“It’s so late at night. Is there anything Master Thirteen wants to do for you?” Chen Xun asked.
“How confident are you that the Snake Demon might sneak into the Azure Water Wilderness?” Su Qingfeng asked.
After White Wolf City returned to the Martial Commandant’s Manor, Su Qingfeng said that he was also the City Lord. However, at this time, Azure Water College and Mansion of Marquis Martial were stationed heavily in White Wolf City. Su Qingfeng, the City Lord, was not worth much. If there was anything to spread, he would be the most suitable person to run errands.
Chen Xun said, “I was also guessing. How could I have a 100% chance of success? What did the Sect Master and Senior Brother Xia say?”
“Along the way, only you and Miss Chang Xi have truly fought against that snake demon. We don’t know how serious the snake demon’s injuries are at this moment. Sect Master wishes to invite you and Miss Chang Xi over.” Su Qingfeng said.
When they were in danger on the way, Su Qingfeng and Su Fanglong had also attacked. However, the spirit sword they had used was shattered the moment they came into contact with the Heaven and Earth Refining Furnace. In fact, they had not even touched a single hair of the Snake Demon.
All they knew was that before the three Spirit Gathering Mountain and River Arrays could unleash their might, the Snake Demon had been repelled by Chen Xun and Chang Xi.
As for whether the snake demon was injured or not, and how serious the injury was, they had all heard Chang Xi’s words, but they could not see any abnormality in the snake demon.
“Believe it or not, there’s so much nonsense to talk about?” Chang Xi’s voice came from the inner courtyard. The Su Clan’s indecisive posture made her very impatient.
Su Qingfeng’s face was full of embarrassment, he didn’t know how to reply.
Chen Xun pondered for a moment and thought to himself that Su Shousi had specifically asked Su Qingfeng to come over again. This meant that the Su Clan attached great importance to this matter. After all, the Azure Water Wilderness was where the Su Clan’s thousand-year-old inheritance lay. However, Su Shousi might not be able to convince Xia Xiangyi and Jiang Bin to take this matter seriously.
Of course, Chang Xi could stand by and watch, but Beishan and Canglan were interdependent, and Canglan was eroding. The days of Beishan would not be easy, so Chen Xun could not stay out of it.
Chen Xun thought to himself that if he followed Su Qingfeng to see Su Shousi, Xia Xiangyi, and Jiang Bin alone, they would most likely cause trouble for themselves. He sent a voice transmission to persuade Chang Xi, “I always feel that there are too many oddities in this matter, so you should make a hard trip.”
Chang Xi snorted coldly. After a while, she floated over from the inner courtyard. Chen Xun and Lei Wanhe accompanied her to the City Lord’s Mansion to meet Su Shousi.
**********************
White Wolf City was only four to five kilometers in radius, and the City Lord’s Mansion occupied almost a quarter of the territory. Two bottles of sly beast statues were erected in front of the mansion’s entrance. They were ferocious and mighty.
Walking into the meeting hall, besides Su Shousi, Xia Xiangyi, Jiang Bin, and Wei Zhongxiang, there was also a Supreme Elder from the Azure Water College, and a Marquis of the Yuan Dynasty, all of whom were at the middle Heaven Origin Realm.
In addition to Chang Xi, White Wolf City had gathered seven Heavenly Yuan experts this time, and their strength was not weak.
However, White Wolf City was under the jurisdiction of the Su Clan. The Azure Water School had gathered two Heavenly Yuan experts and nearly 30 Reincarnation Realm cultivators. Their strength was far weaker than Xia Xiangyi’s. The situation in the city was somewhat subtle with the reinforcements that Jiang Bin and the others had led from the east of Tu Mountain.
Xia Xiangyi and Jiang Bin were both at the peak of the Heavenly Yuan Realm. Prime Minister Wei Zhongxiang was also about to step into the late Heavenly Yuan Realm, and there were still more than a hundred Reincarnation Realm cultivators accompanying him.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Su Clan still had an Origin Core Realm Patriarch in charge, Xia Xiangyi and Jiang Bin wouldn’t have been any weaker than the Azure Water School this time.
Apart from Jiang Bin and Prime Minister Wei Zhong, Wei Che and Wei Guan were all acquaintances, and their gazes were exceptionally cold.
Even Chen Xun had seen the Heaven Origin Realm reverend from the Marquis Yuan Manor before. Back then, he was the one who bought the Kui Long Heavenly Diagram from him on behalf of the Marquis Yuan Manor.
Chen Xun sat down behind Chang Xi. Seeing that Su Tang, Su Fanglong, and the others weren’t in the meeting hall, yet the main characters of Mansion of Marquis Martial and Qiyun Mountain all rushed over. He was puzzled in his heart. In the middle of the night, could it be that everyone was so idle?
Xia Xiangyi asked Chang Xi straightforwardly, “In the Battle of Tu Shandong Ridge, the Snake Demon was extremely cunning, and all the sects had a deep understanding of it. How can you confirm that the Snake Demon’s injuries have not healed?”
‘”Guard White Wolf City and you’ll be able to complete the rescue mission assigned by the sect. The matter is naturally simple. The benefits the Su Clan can give are not small. There is really no need to risk looking for trouble with that snake demon.” Chang Xi and Xia Xiangyi did not have much courtesy in their conversations and said with ridicule.
Xia Xiangyi did not expect Chang Xi to come in. He directly exposed their thoughts, Even though you know her temper, your face is still a little shameful. With a sullen expression, you ask, “Thousands of demonic creatures are gathered in the northern ridge. There must be Heavenly Yao level demonic creatures restraining them behind the scenes. If you judge that the demonic snakes might sneak into Cang Lan, massacre her and devour her flesh to heal her injuries, then wouldn’t that mean that two Heavenly Yao level demonic creatures have entered Cang Lan this time?”
“It’s not impossible,” Chang Xi said. “With Martial Uncle Gu and the others standing guard in Meng Mountain, it’s probably no coincidence that the headmaster still asks us disciples to search for traces of magical creatures on both sides of Tu Mountain because we’re worried that the spatial rift of the Thousand Devil Sect will appear in Tu Mountain’s Absolute Ridge again after 4,000 years. “If you and Jiang Bin hide in White Wolf City and don’t dare to make a move, how could they find any clues?”
Although there were a total of four Heavenly Demon Beasts in the Battle of Devil Execution, no one could be certain that there were no other Heavenly Demon-level demon beasts within ten thousand kilometers of Tu Shan.
Xia Xiangyi changed the topic and looked at Chen Xun.
“I heard that the Snake Demon was injured by you and retreated this time. In less than two years, your cultivation has improved rapidly. It’s quite impressive.”
Seeing that Jiang Bin’s eyes were filled with vigilance, Chen Xun thought to himself, Perhaps Su Shousi hadn’t called them over late at night to discuss the matter of the snake demon, but Xia Xiangyi. After Jiang Bin knew the details of their fierce battle with the snake demon, he was eager to investigate his background, right?
Chen Xun frowned slightly. He hadn’t expected that the situation would be so dangerous. Xia Xiangyi and Jiang Bin had just appeared, yet they still wanted to dig out his roots.
He felt as if he had swallowed a fly in his heart. He suppressed his anger and said, “Senior Brother Xia praised me. Senior Sister Chang Xi and the Snake Demon really fought fiercely. The Snake Demon was unable to suppress the injuries in her body, so she gave me an opportunity to take advantage of it. However, I’m sure Senior Brother Xia doesn’t really think that I have the ability to hurt the Snake Demon.”
“It’s hard to say,” Xia Xiangyi said with a gloomy face. “Whether it’s if you hand over the Kui Long Tian Tu to Mansion of Marquis Martial, join the Divine Night Sect, or the Northern Mountain Race retreat to defend the Dragon Creek Lake to defend against demons, you can tell that you have too much to hide from us …”
As Tu Qiong’s dagger appeared, Xia Xiangyi’s imposing aura rushed over, and the atmosphere in the meeting hall suddenly became one of sword and crossbow pulling.
Su Qingfeng was also shocked. Xia Xiangyi had called Chen Xun to the meeting hall late at night through the sect master. She really wanted to ask about the secret behind Python Fang Ridge.
At this stage of the situation, Su Qingfeng could see that many things were beginning to come to light.
Especially after Xia Xiangyi and Jiang Bin arrived at White Wolf City, they confirmed that none of the Thousand Swords Sect, Mengshan Sect, or Divine Night Sect had followed Chen Xun back to Python Fang Ridge.
A Heaven Origin Realm expert was not a cabbage, he could easily dig one.
Chen Xun led the Northern Mountain Clan to destroy the Blood Sword Sect and defend the Dragon Creek Lake. He didn’t come from the Meng Mountain Sect, the Divine Night Sect, or the Thousand Swords Sect. Where could he come from?
Although there were quite a few secluded experts in Cloud Continent, it was not something that anyone could casually meet.
The most likely guess was that the ferocious beast hiding beneath Jade Pillar Peak hadn’t lost its life.
After the battle at Jade Pillar Peak, Chen Xun not only obtained all the treasures in the Jade Pillar Peak’s secret cave, he also brought this heavily injured beast back to the Northern Mountain to hide.
After that, Chen Xun went to Azure Water City to get rid of the Kui Long Tian Tu and sneaked into Cloud Continent thousands of kilometers away. In fact, he was only trying to divert the attention of others.
In this way, Chen Xun and the people from the Northern Mountain had a reasonable explanation for their sudden increase in strength in just a few short years.
As for why Chen Xun did everything he could to divert everyone’s attention, the reason was also very simple.
Back at Jade Pillar Peak, even though Qing Yangzi and Jade Jade Master Ancestor were heavily injured by the fierce beast, Jade Jade Master Ancestor, who was only a step away from cultivating the Origin Core, was also heavily injured by the counterattack from the fierce beast.
If they had known that the ferocious beast hadn’t died, not to mention the Mount Yi Sect, they would have forced Chen Xun to hand over the ferocious beast.
“What does this have to do with you?” Only now did Chang Xi understand that Su Shousi had come forward to invite them over. It was indeed Xia Xiangyi who wanted to interrogate Chen Xun at night. Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed and she stared coldly at Xia Xiangyi.
“As Gu Yangfeng’s chief direct descendant, I have the responsibility to investigate all of this.” Xia Xiangyi said. He had nothing to do with Chang Xi, so he did not believe that he could not suppress an inner sect disciple.
“I don’t know. What is the inevitable connection between this matter and everyone defending against magical creatures in the White Wolf River?” Chen Xun calmly asked, “Could it be that Senior Brother Xia has already told everyone all of his secrets?”
“You know, I was ordered to investigate all clues related to the Thousand Devil Realm. According to Cang Lan’s records, it was also thirty years ago that he discovered the traces of that ferocious beast on Jade Pillar Peak. A few years ago, you were the first to discover traces of magical creatures in the Tu Shandong Ridge. Back in the snake acupoint, you and Jiang Xingkong broke off at the same time. Jiang Xingkong’s high cultivation level was unknown, but you were able to escape safely. How could people not be suspicious about this? And this time, thousands of magical creatures happened to appear around Jade Pillar Peak first. The puppet technique you cultivated is very strange, and you have to tell me that I don’t want any more … “Xia Xiangyi stared into Chen Xun’s eyes, as if she wanted to dig out more secrets from his eyes.
“I see. Senior Brother Xia can’t allow me to stay in the White Wolf River. If you have something to say, then just say it. Why do you need to find these unnecessary excuses?” Chen Xun said coldly. He stood up and was about to leave the hall.
“Stop!” Xia Xiangyi shouted in a deep voice as her Qi rushed towards Chen Xun.
“What do you want to do?” Chang Xi took out the Heavenly Mirror and the Spring Breeze Rain Sword from her bag of holding and stared at Xia Xiangyi with killing intent. “Shall we fight first so that you can explain to the sect?”
“Brother Xiangyi, calm down,” Jiang Bin said slowly and methodically. “Chen Xun doesn’t seem to be colluding with demons. We can sit down and listen to him explain everything.”
“You don’t have the qualifications to let me explain.” Chen Xun said coldly. Xia Xiangyi did not have any solid evidence, and attacking him like this in front of Chang Xi was bound to be encouraged by Jiang Bin.
It was very likely that the Kui Long Heavenly Diagram could not be satisfied by Jiang Bin. He wanted to obtain all the inheritances related to the Kui Long Heavenly Diagram, so he encouraged Xia Xiangyi to attack him at this moment.
Chen Xun smiled coldly in his heart. If he didn’t see through Jiang Bin’s tricks, his entire life would be in vain.
Regardless of whether they guessed that Old Kui was a demon or a demon, under the current situation, they did not dare to forcefully attack Long Qiu Lake.
Chang Xi stood firmly on his side and wanted to kill him. Forgive Jiang Bin and Xia Xiangyi for not daring to force him to stay.
Chen Xun cupped his hands towards Su Shousi and said, “Sect Leader Su, since everyone is so unhappy, I’ll take my leave and leave White Wolf City. I won’t make things difficult for the Su Clan. However, I want to remind Sect Leader Su to be careful of the calamity of Hatoyama taking over the nest!”
Hearing Chen Xun’s words, the corner of Jiang Bin’s mouth twitched, and his eyes revealed a sinister expression. He hesitated whether he should take this child down.
Su Shousi hid the worry in his eyes. The Northern Mountain destroyed the Blood Sword Sect and stubbornly guarded the Dragon Creek Lake. Although he had revealed too many suspicions, he kept all of these things in his heart, which prevented Jun Yuan and Qing Feng from leaking out. However, Jiang Bin and Xia Xiangyi were able to know so clearly. Could it be that another Qing Yangzi had emerged from within the Azure Water School?
Seeing that Jiang Bin’s gaze was gloomy and vicious, Su Shousi stood up and cupped his hands and said to Chen Xun, “I believe that Northern Mountain will never collude with magical creatures. It’s just that we can’t interfere in the internal affairs of the Divine Night Sect. I hope you don’t mind if you’re rude. It’s good for you to leave the White Wolf River and calm down with Brother Xiangyi.”
As he spoke, Su Shousi walked over and sent Chen Xun, Chang Xi, and the others away from White Wolf City.
Regardless of what inheritances the Jade Pillar Peak’s secret cave contained, the Su Clan could no longer have any more extravagant hopes in the current situation. Moreover, it was not good for the Su Clan to have these inheritances in the hands of the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty.
