122: There is a secret hidden behind the golden toad!
“Saint Youque, is everyone in Three Saints Palace as shameless as you?”
The middle-aged man’s voice came from above, and a golden alms bowl was thrown out by him. It swelled against the wind, instantly transforming into ten thousand feet.
It covered the sky and the earth, intercepting every attack from the whisk, leaving no opening to exploit.
Meng Yun’s vision was blocked by the golden alms bowl, making it impossible to see the battle above.
Even so, countless terrifying fluctuations continued to spread, indicating that the two Transcendent Tribulation cultivators were currently locked in an intense and fiery battle.
Meng Yun lowered his head again, but in that instant, Saint Huang had already seized the opportunity, transforming into a streak of light and fleeing.
Thirty years to the east of the river.
Thirty years to the west of the river.
Do not bully a young man in poverty!
I will definitely return!
Saint Huang thought this in his heart at this moment.
Dragon Spirit and Ruyi returned together, throwing the corpse of a Demon King onto the ground—it was precisely the one who had escaped in the chaos earlier.
One Demon King and five Demon Generals had all gone to the Yellow Springs.
A family should be neat and tidy, after all.
They returned, but Saint Huang had escaped.
“Where do you think you’re going?!”
Because Shangguan Qing, the true mistress, had appeared, Dragon Spirit was currently in a bad mood and desperately needed a fight to vent her frustration!
“Meow!” Ruyi also meowed.
This kitty hasn’t even decided victory or defeat with you yet, don’t you dare run!
The man, the cat, and Meng Yun were about to give chase, but unexpectedly, that woman appeared again and blocked them.
Saint Xuanji spoke quite objectively: “Saint Huang, as the First Saint Son of Three Saints Palace, killing him would only cause an unending feud between the Immortal Sect and Three Saints Palace!
Young Master Dongfang, with the Sect Master missing and no one in charge, you wouldn’t want to see the Immortal Sect being attacked by Three Saints Palace, would you?”
Meng Yun: “…”
The way she spoke.
It was a good thing he knew this Li Xuanji was a genuine White Tiger Heaven native.
Otherwise, he might have thought she had watched Japanese adult films!
“He’s just a mere Saint Son. We even beat the toothless one, and nothing happened!”
Meng Yun’s body moved again, but a slender jade hand gently pulled his arm.
“Meng… Eastern Abyss, let’s not pursue him.”
It was Shangguan Qing.
The young girl naturally knew that Meng Yun’s killing intent was so high because he wanted to avenge her and vent his anger.
But there were some things she didn’t want to cause Meng Yun to be in a dilemma or fall into an unjust situation because of her:
“Look on the bright side, if Saint Huang hadn’t arrived suddenly, perhaps I would have been casually killed by that Demon King, and you and I would never again…”
“Alright, I understand.”
Meng Yun, with tenderness, gently stroked the young girl’s hair and nodded, taking her advice: “I won’t pursue him then.”
“Ruyi, Dragon Spirit, come back!”
“Let him go this once. The next time we meet, I will surely kill him!”
He wanted to treat Shangguan Qing as a cultivation vessel and even do it in the wilderness?
Meng Yun himself couldn’t bear to!
So, other people’s women, it’s fine to stand up and kick, is that it?!
Since the greater good of the sect was brought up, Meng Yun knew it was impossible and had no choice but to give up.
But the grudge had already been formed.
Saint Xuanji was expressionless, but her heart was filled with mixed emotions of joy and anger.
She was happy that the First Saint Son now owed her a favor.
She was angry that this black-dressed girl who had suddenly entered her sight had already obtained Meng Yun’s body!
Saint Xuanji already regarded Meng Yun as her personal possession, how could she allow another to covet him!
Shangguan Qing?
One day, she would surely inflict the five tortures upon her, making her wish for death but unable to achieve it!
Not long after, the sky-covering golden alms bowl was retracted, and the boundless might disappeared.
Meng Yun looked up. The immortal boat was slowly descending, with only Yan Weihuan remaining at the bow.
That Saint Youque had already fled far away.
Since the Saint Son was unharmed, it was not the time for Three Saints Palace and the Immortal Sect to completely tear off their masks.
“Well done, come on up.”
Yan Weihuan smiled kindly, placing his trembling hands behind his back, not letting anyone see them.
…
Saint Huang retreated rapidly, and in just a short while, he had already reached ten thousand miles away.
“Now, Eastern Abyss should not be able to find me.” Saint Huang thought to himself, speeding along, while also feeling fortunate.
His figure appeared in a canyon. Saint Huang released his divine sense, confirmed that there was no danger around, and then prepared to sit down and begin meditating.
With his Holy Ape Avatar destroyed, his powerful strength, originally at the late Combination Power stage, instantly plummeted to the early Combination Power stage.
Vaguely, he was even inferior to the Third Saintess, Saint Xuanji, in strength!
“Damn Eastern Abyss!” Saint Huang said hatefully, “When my strength recovers, I will surely tear you into ten thousand pieces!”
“Eastern Abyss?” A young voice softly asked, “Isn’t that the one ranked first hundred on the Holy God Hunt Order?”
The so-called Holy God Hunt Order was a pursuit message issued by the Holy God… bah, by the Demonic Seed through its red thread to all its subordinates.
Based on the Demonic Seed’s level of importance, its subordinates intimately ranked these individuals.
Those on the list were all powerful cultivators in their own right.
In Xuanwu Heaven, the first-ranked on the Holy God Hunt Order was none other than the White Tiger Heaven Emperor, Wu Yinyao!
After her, Emperor Luo Mian, not to be outdone, ranked third!
As for the second place, it was the Xuanwu Heaven Emperor, who was defeated by the Demonic Seed and whose whereabouts were unknown, whether dead or fled!
From this, it can be seen that this list’s value was quite high!
But…
Well, there was one exception.
For example, this Eastern Abyss.
The Demonic Seed had an order: anyone named Eastern Abyss, kill without mercy.
Anyone with the surname Dongfang, kill without mercy.
The egg whites of the Dongfang Family’s eggs must be thoroughly mixed.
The Dongfang Family’s earthworms must be split vertically!
Heaven knows what evil the Demonic Seed had fallen into!
For a time, all the Dongfang families across the world were in peril!
They moved their entire families and revised their genealogies overnight!
But no matter what, successfully killing anyone on the list could exchange for treasures that could not be measured by money!
Getting back to the main topic.
Hearing the voice, Saint Huang looked up in astonishment.
On the mountain peak, a bald head suddenly appeared.
It was the Second Saint Son, Saint Golden Toad.
“amitabha.”
Saint Golden Toad, leaning on his monk’s staff, leaped down, and the next moment, appeared directly in front of Saint Huang.
“First Saint Son Saint Huang, is there also a time when you are so disheveled?” Saint Golden Toad asked curiously, circling Saint Huang.
His gaze swept back and forth over him, as if evaluating his injuries.
“Eh? Where’s your Avatar?” After a moment, Saint Golden Toad asked, puzzled.
One must know that Saint Huang’s ability to firmly hold the position of First Saint Son was largely due to this ninth-ranked Holy Ape Avatar.
If Saint Huang lost this Avatar…
Let alone the First Saint Son, even the seat of the Third Saint Son might not be his turn!
How cruel was the competition within Three Saints Palace? Even the Saint Sons had to openly and secretly contend, let alone the disciples below the seats who coveted the Saint Son position!
“It’s gone.”
Saint Huang’s face was gloomy: “Saint Golden Toad, I have always treated you well. This matter must not be spread!”
If the news of his Avatar’s destruction were to spread, his identity as a Saint Son would surely face countless challenges instantly!
Saint Golden Toad chuckled, his face calm and unconcerned:
“Of course.
With our relationship, your business is my business.
Was it all that Eastern Abyss’s doing?”
Although he didn’t want to admit it, Saint Huang eventually nodded sullenly.
Humiliating, shameful!
“Don’t worry, I will avenge you…”
Saint Golden Toad’s faint words fell, and he gently patted Saint Huang’s shoulder with his left hand, indicating comfort.
“Saint Golden Toad, it really has to be you… Ugh!!”
Before his words of gratitude were finished, Saint Huang suddenly let out a muffled groan.
The stinging pain from his chest made him involuntarily lower his head—
The end of a monk’s staff had already pierced through his back and out his chest.
Why do these people always backstab?!
Who did they learn it from?
“Hoo… hoo… Why… why…”
His vital energy was sealed, and massive spiritual energy poured into his body from the monk’s staff, wildly rampaging and destroying.
In an instant, Saint Huang was on his last breath.
He looked at Saint Golden Toad, his face full of disbelief.
A Combination Power cultivator could be reborn from a drop of blood.
But Saint Golden Toad clearly wouldn’t give him any chance.
The monk’s staff was pulled out.
With a casual wave, Saint Huang’s entire existence was directly obliterated.
Casually evaporating the bloodstains on the monk’s staff, Saint Golden Toad’s face still bore a faint smile.
He had said he would help Saint Huang get his revenge.
Eastern Abyss killed Saint Huang.
Therefore—
He was going to settle the score with Eastern Abyss.
Reasonable and convincing.
“Saint Youque, what did you just do?!!”
Saint Youque’s horrified voice came from a thousand miles away!!
