208: Enemies meet
Yang Yi said indifferently: "It doesn't matter. If a god appears, kill the god. If a demon appears, kill the demon."
Hearing these words, the Grand Elder smiled slightly.
He did not say anything, nor did he say who Yang Yi might encounter.
Two days later, Yang Yi and his group arrived at the original cave.
The Fire God Fruit inside the cave had not yet ripened.
However, to be safe, Cang Jiuzhou and his group had moved directly into the cave.
On the way, Yang Yi had asked the Grand Elder of the Seven Stars Sect.
After so much time had passed, had the other party already taken the item?
The Grand Elder told Yang Yi with great certainty that there were still a few days left before the fruit ripened.
By the time they arrived, the fruit would surely not yet be mature.
Sure enough, when they arrived inside the cave, the fruit was indeed not yet ripe, but the Three-Star High Grade Magic Treasure was already gone.
Seeing Yang Yi and his group appear, Cang Jiuzhou frowned deeply.
He stared coldly at the Seven Stars Sect Elder beside Yang Yi, secretly gritting his teeth, wishing he could tear him to pieces.
If he had known this guy would go find Yang Yi, he should have killed him back then.
Now it was troublesome.
Yang Yi's strength could not be underestimated.
If a fight broke out, the outcome would be unpredictable.
He was a very intelligent person and knew that fighting Yang Yi now would be unpredictable, with a high chance of losing.
Rather than risking being enemies with Yang Yi, it would be better to split the fruit here with him.
Although they would get a smaller share, it could greatly reduce their risk and also allow them to build a relationship with Yang Yi.
This was a win-win situation.
Therefore, his expression switched between gloomy and pleasant with great ease.
One moment his Face was gloomy, and the next, he was smiling pleasantly at Yang Yi and the others, greeting them warmly.
"Isn't this Star Moon Elder of the Falling Moon Sect and Yang Yi?"
"Long time no see."
"Are you all doing well?"
In the past, if Cang Jiuzhou had spoken to him like this, Star Moon Elder would certainly have responded kindly.
But now, things were different.
Star Moon Elder knew that sooner or later, there would be a day of battle with Cang Jiuzhou, so he did not speak very politely.
"Very well."
"I didn't expect to meet you here."
"I heard you forcibly snatched the item that the Seven Stars Sect had discovered."
"We are all part of the Twelve Sects of Yun Province."
"Aren't you bullying people a bit too much?"
The Sect Master beside Cang Jiuzhou snorted, took a step forward, and looked at Star Moon Elder with contempt.
"What are you?"
"You have no place to speak here."
Then he looked at Yang Yi.
"Yang Yi, what is the meaning of you coming here?"
"Could it be that you want to snatch our things?"
Yang Yi smiled and said: "I don't want to snatch your things. I just want to seek justice for the people of the Seven Stars Sect."
Cang Jiuzhou laughed from the side.
"Since when have you had such a good relationship with the Seven Stars Sect?"
Yang Yi said: "I previously owed a favor to someone from the Seven Stars Sect. Now that they are asking for my help, I cannot ignore it."
Cang Jiuzhou had a gloomy Face.
He secretly glanced at the two Sect Masters beside him, estimating the strength of his side.
He could match Yang Yi, and the two Sect Masters could match Star Moon Elder and the Grand Elder of the Seven Stars Sect.
However, on Yang Yi's side, there was also the Dragon-Tiger Family Head.
The Dragon-Tiger Family Head was a Family head; ordinary people were no match for him.
This guy's strength was even above that of Star Moon Elder and the Grand Elder of the Seven Stars Sect.
Although he was slightly weaker than the two Sect Masters, he could still fight them for a while.
As for the others, they could be completely ignored, because the two sides were about equal in numbers, and their strength was also about the same.
Ultimately, the only ones who could decide victory or defeat were these few powerhouses.
However, Yang Yi was an unknown variable.
Cang Jiuzhou was not confident in defeating Yang Yi.
Without certainty, he would never fight Yang Yi.
Because the Sect Masters of various Sects who had fought Yang Yi so far had basically met a tragic death.
He did not want to follow in their footsteps.
Therefore, he made a painful decision: to give the ten Fire God Fruits to Yang Yi.
Just as he was thinking, the other two Sect Masters were unwilling.
One of the Sect Masters laughed and looked at Yang Yi and the others, saying: "Boasting wildly."
"Don't think that just because you have some ability, you can act recklessly."
"Others might fear you, but we do not."
The other Sect Master also chimed in: "Yang Yi, I have long wanted to cross swords with you."
"Today is the perfect opportunity."
"I would like to see just how capable you really are."
These two people were not afraid of Yang Yi at all, and they even wanted to compete with him.
They did not believe that Yang Yi was truly as powerful as the legends said.
Yang Yi had the same intention.
Just at this moment, Cang Jiuzhou suddenly said: "Forget it."
"I have some friendship with Yang Yi."
"Since he has spoken, let's give him some Face."
The other two Sect Masters did not expect Cang Jiuzhou to back down, and they looked at him with surprise.
They wanted to say something, but seeing Cang Jiuzhou's serious expression and determined eyes, the words that reached their lips remained unspoken.
Don't look at them as all being Sect Masters; among the three, there was a very clear hierarchy.
Cang Jiuzhou was above them.
Therefore, even though they were unwilling in their hearts regarding what Cang Jiuzhou said, they did not object, though they did not understand.
Others also did not expect Cang Jiuzhou to back down.
This made the Dragon-Tiger Family Head the most disappointed.
He had hoped that Yang Yi would fight to the death with Cang Jiuzhou, but Cang Jiuzhou was simply too cunning; he actually chose to compromise.
He immediately stood out and said: "No problem."
"However, you not only have to leave these ten Fire God Fruits behind, but you must also leave that Three-Star High Grade Magic Treasure here."
"If I guess correctly, you people should have other Three-Star High Grade Magic Treasures on you."
"As long as you can hand over one more Three-Star High Grade Magic Treasure, we will let you leave."
Once these words were spoken, the expressions of Cang Jiuzhou and the others changed abruptly.
Cang Jiuzhou thought he had misheard.
He rubbed his ears and looked at the other party with disdain.
"What are you?"
"You have no place to speak here."
"Even if conditions are to be set, it should be Yang Yi who sets them."
Immediately, he looked at Yang Yi.
He believed that Yang Yi would never do such a shameless thing.
"Yang Yi, you wouldn't make such an excessive request, would you?"
Yang Yi remained silent.
Obviously, he felt that the request made by the Dragon-Tiger Family Head was quite good, but to ask for it himself, he was truly a bit embarrassed.
The Dragon-Tiger Family Head on the side continued to speak for Yang Yi: "Yang Yi would not talk to someone like you."
