The Great Wild God - Chapter 371
Chapter 371 Capricious
In the chaos earlier, no one knew where Jinghai Marquis Young Master Xi Kang and his subordinates had gone. Seeing Jinghai Marquis Young Master Xi Kang, Shi Longzi, and the others gather together with the Azure Scaled Demons and retreat towards the beach valley, the faces of the Crimson Star Palace cultivators all changed.
Venerable Cold Moon’s face was as pale as paper. He floated in the air and stood within the defensive restriction. He raised his voice and shouted,
‘”This demoness transformed into a human. She has a foothold in Blackstone City, and you, Shaoxi Kang, brought her into Mountain Long. Shaoxi Kang, you can still argue that you were deceived by the demoness, but Shaoxi Kang, what are you doing with the demons now? No wonder your Shaoxi clan is so lazy to even take a cloak of shame and openly collude with the demons?”
“The Green Scales have surrounded the Mist Sea. The Nine Dragons Tower City has been destroyed, and Ji Yue has no reinforcements to send. We will not join forces with the Green Scales. May I ask Venerable Cold Moon, how do we withdraw from Mountain Long?” Shaoxi Kang would not reveal the secret of his and Yan Lan’s origins to the public at this moment. That would only cause unnecessary confusion, but he had long thought of his words along the way. He did not believe that even if Venerable Cold Moon guessed everything, he could really do anything to them.
Leng Yue’s face was even paler. Others did not know about the scandal between Ji Yue’s former country head, Shao Xiyan, and the Azure Scaled Demon Clan’s Holy Daughter. As one of the three Scarlet Star Palace Revered ones, she naturally knew the details.
However, the power of the Crimson Star Palace had already weakened. After their ancestor Chi Xingzi sat down, the sect had not had a True Monarch of the Celestial Realm for thousands of years, and Shao Xiyan was a rare genius of the Shaoxi clan who had cultivated for nearly 10,000 years. He was less than a thousand years old, and his cultivation had already surpassed that of Ancestor Shaoxi, the Shaoxi Bone who founded the Ji Yue Kingdom.
After the scandal was revealed, the Crimson Star Palace could only force Shaoxi Yan to give up the position of the country master and conceal this matter.
Leng Yue’s sharp gaze swept across Young Xi Yanlan’s face, who had turned back into a demon. Seeing that there was a faint shadow of Shao Xiyan on her face, she was shocked. No wonder she was the young girl who left Ji Yue with the Green Scaled Clan’s Holy Daughter?
Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Leng Yue’s back. This woman had been operating the Treasure House in Blackstone City for 30 years, but the Crimson Star Palace had not noticed anything. It seemed that Shao Xiyan and Shao Xi Kang had planned to collude with the Azure Scaled Demon Race for more than a year or two.
However, if the Shaoxi clan didn’t even need a shameful cloth now, what could she do about it?
Previously, the Crimson Star Palace had inherited the Dao of Patriarch Crimson Star and had three Dharma Adepts guarding it, so they could barely suppress the Shaoxi Clan.
At this moment, both Venerable Iron Light and Nine Dragons Pavilion City had died. She had also suffered heavy injuries. Her true form, origin pills, and cultivation had fallen to the early Heaven Origin Realm. Not to mention suppressing the Shaoxi Clan, even a small Shaoxi Kang was unable to suppress her in Long Mountain.
Leng Yue’s thoughts changed drastically as she swept her gaze over the cultivators beside her. Seeing that everyone was silent, she was unable to guess what they were thinking.
Previously, she and Venerable Iron Light had not died or been injured, The Nine Dragons Pavilion City had not been destroyed. Even if they were able to leave calmly under the siege of the Azure Scaled Demon Race’s army, everyone naturally disdained to be with the demon race. However, at this moment, everyone’s thoughts were to protect their lives and safely leave Long Mountain. Even if she exposed Shaoxi Kang and the demon girl’s identities, few people would deliberately make enemies with the demon race, right?
“The Green Scaled Demon Race has surrounded the Mist Sea. We have to join forces with them so that we can leave Long Mountain from the encirclement of the Mirage Beasts. However, how can we guarantee that after leaving Long Mountain, the Demon Race will not go back on their word?” Song Xuanyi flew out from the crowd and asked loudly.
Hearing Song Xuanyi’s words, everyone felt that it was reasonable.
They had no intention of becoming enemies with the Azure Scaled Demon Race again, but now that they had joined forces with the Azure Scaled Demon Race to fight against the Mirage Beasts and left the Mist Sea, they were completely under the control of the Demon Race without the support of the Nine Dragons Tower City. Whoever dared to be certain that the Demon Race would definitely believe them.
The human race and the demon race had been opposed for tens of millions of years. Although there were occasional incidents of them joining forces to resist the enemy, the fragile alliance between the human and demon races had all ended in a bloody breakdown.
The demon race had never been a model for keeping their promises.
Seeing Song Xuanyi stand up and question him, Shaoxi Kang was also stunned. He felt that it was really difficult to dispel the scruples of others. He looked at Chen Xun beside him and didn’t know what he had to do to calm everyone’s hearts.
“This is easy!” Chen Xun laughed and his figure flashed, leaving behind several afterimages in midair. In the next moment, he suddenly stood behind Shaoxi Yanlan and slapped her neck with one hand.
Shaoxi Yanlan’s beautiful eyes looked at Chen Xun in shock. At this moment, she was so angry that she vomited blood. When Chen Xun rushed down the valley to help, she was still slightly touched. She never expected that this bastard would actually attack her at this time!
Shaoxi Yanlan hated not being able to chew on her bones and swallow her flesh, but she was seriously injured right now, and even the God Refining Pagoda could not be retrieved. How could she avoid Chen Xun’s surprise sneak attack?
After Chen Xun slapped her delicate neck with one palm, she felt several spiritual currents spurt out from Chen Xun’s grasp. It was like a spirit snake and lightning python invading her bones from behind. In an instant, it transformed into nine divine power chains on her soul sea. In an instant, it pulled her extremely weak divine soul into a lock.
Shaoxi Yanlan did not know what kind of divine ability Chen Xun was using. Her divine soul was tied tightly, and it was difficult for her to struggle for even a single bit.
Beside Shaoxi Yanlan, Originally, Lei Bo and the three Azure Scaled Demon Generals were guarding them, but they were also caught off guard. Before they could attack, they were forced away by Chen Xun’s thunderous left palm. If they wanted to attack again, Shao Xi Yanlan was already completely restrained by Chen Xun. She was so angry that she vomited blood and roared furiously. She never thought that the dignified Marquis actually such an unpredictable little person, a hypocrite.
When Shaoxi Kang was about to attack, he saw Chen Xun release a strand of sword energy from his left hand that wrapped around Yan Lan’s neck like a spirit snake. He hurriedly stopped the domineering and furious Azure Scaled Demon General, forcefully suppressing the fury in his heart and shouting, “Shi Longzi, what do you mean?”
“I don’t need everyone to be on guard. I’ll invite Miss Yan Lan to my cave for a few days now. Can I ask everyone to put aside their prejudices and cooperate with me?” Chen Xun’s face darkened as his sharp gaze swept across the faces of Shaoxi Kang and Venerable Cold Moon.
Leng Yue pondered and did not answer. Song Xuanyi coldly shouted, “Shi Longzi, you colluded with the demon race first. How can you make others trust you? If you leave the demon woman in our care, we can put aside our prejudices and join hands with the demon race to fight against the enemy …”
“Song Xuanyi, if you can’t guess my identity at this moment, you can only say that you’re stupid.” Chen Xun’s face darkened and he ignored Song Xuanyi. He looked at Venerable Leng Yue and asked, “Venerable Leng Yue, what do you think of Yan Lan leaving me to take care of her?”
“How do you prove that you are the Azure Water Marquis Chen Xun?” Leng Yue asked in a deep voice.
Everyone was not stupid. The strength Shi Longzi revealed far exceeded everyone’s expectations. Some people suspected his identity.
When they saw the witch black tea, the Winged Demon Crimson Sea, and the Spirit Fox Snake standing beside Chen Xun without the mood to do so, and two more mountain and river chariots appeared beside Shao Xi Kang, they didn’t expect that the group of Heaven Essence cultivators and Origin Core Adepts on Marquis Cang Lan’s body who had been famous all these years would have lived for hundreds of years in vain.
In the past few years, Marquis Cang Lan and the Kuilong Pavilion Master, who had led the four sects in the Northwest Domain to control the demon race, naturally did not have the status that the Evil Cultivator, Skydragon Seed, could have in the hearts of the crowd.
Chen Xun tossed out four Profound Bomb Chariots from the Void Origin Pearl and said, “Apart from the Four Sects, the Profound Capital Sect, and the Dragon Gate Sect, there are no Profound Bomb Chariots left. I hope these four Profound Bomb Chariots can help you guard the camp. Venerable Cold Moon, what else do you need me to prove?”
Hundreds of Giant Winged Mirages stopped thirty miles away and temporarily didn’t surround them. However, farther away, a large group of mirages surged over like a tide …
Venerable Cold Moon’s expression was uncertain as he pondered for a while. In the end, he ordered his disciples to open the defensive restrictions and let Chen Xun, Shao Xi Kang, and the others enter the camp to defend against the enemy.
******************
“Marquis Canglan, what do you mean?” After entering the camp, Shaoxi Kang did not let his retinue follow him and directly barged into the stone room where Chen Xun was resting and questioned him sternly.
“Marquis Shaoxi, calm down,”
Chen Xun signaled Chi Hai and Shewu Xin to retreat to the side. Seeing Uncle Lei and the other Green Scaled Demon Generals outside the stone room, he was furious and would charge in at any moment. He kindly invited Shao Xi Kang to sit down and speak.
“You should know that if we don’t put aside our prejudices and work together, I’m afraid few people will be able to leave Mountain Long alive. May I ask Marquis Shaoxi, can there be a better solution? Could it be that Marquis Shaoxi thinks that Chen Xun has the guts to injure Miss Yan Lan?”
“Then why didn’t you tell me beforehand?” Yan Lan was taken hostage and held in Chen Xun’s hands. Shao Xi Kang could not restrain the anger in his heart, but if he could not restrain the anger in his heart, what could he do?
“I told you in advance that Venerable Cold Moon is not an idiot. From the bottom of her eyes, does she think that this is a play that we colluded in? How can we put down our prejudices?” Chen Xun asked.
“Cough cough …” Leng Yue stood outside the stone house and heard Chen Xun’s words. She knew that this was for her to hear. However, Chen Xun was also an Exalted of a sect. Her words were so vulgar that she was not used to them.
“Venerable Cold Moon, please enter,”
Chen Xun opened the door and saw Leng Yue and Song Xuanyi standing outside, inviting them in. Seeing that Shao Xi Kang was silent, he continued,
“The four sects are far away from the northwest. I won’t care about your grudges with the Crimson Star Palace, nor will I provoke powerful enemies like the Shaoxi Clan and the Azure Scales Clan for the four sects. If you don’t trust Yan Lan to stay here as a guest, then I can only entrust Miss Yan Lan and the God Refining Tower to Venerable Leng Yue for the sake of everyone’s cooperation …”
Young Xi Kang’s expression was uncertain as he said hatefully, “I hope Marquis Cang Lan remembers what you said today. Otherwise, my prince will never lightly bother you.”
No matter how angry he was that Chen Xun had taken Yan Lan hostage without telling anyone, he knew that Yan Lan still had room for manoeuvre when she fell into Chen Xun’s hands. When she fell into the hands of Leng Yue and Crimson Star Palace, no one knew what would happen after she left the fog sea.
Chen Xun cupped his hands towards Song Xuanyi and said, “There were many inappropriate words spoken earlier. Please don’t blame Xuanyi.”
Song Xuanyi’s expression was gloomy, but Chen Xun had already apologized. What could he say?
That day, in Kaiyang Valley, he was the one who didn’t know what was going on, so he deserved to be insulted by Chen Xun’s words when he used a sudden killing move against Chen Xun who was impersonating a stone dragon. That said, Song Xuanyi was unable to cross this threshold in his heart, but thinking about the current situation, he could only lower his head and live in harmony with Chen Xun.
A dozen disciples of Dragon Gate Sect followed him into the Falling Star Calendar. Six of them had already died. They could not all be trapped in Mountain Long. He was the only one who returned to the sect.
