Please stay.

Several days later, a scout leader came to report.

“Report!”

“Chicken Lord, your subordinate has discovered that Heavenly God Mountain and North Demon Cave have formed an alliance.”

Among the Twelve Demon Generals, Chicken One had always been the one in charge.

Upon hearing that a force had allied with the North Demon Cave, Chicken One’s expression shifted slightly.

He sat upright in the grand armchair.

He assumed a thoughtful posture.

After a moment, he spoke to the group of subordinates attending to him.

“North Demon Cave and Miss Bai Ling have a blood feud. The Master has decreed that this force must be left for Miss Bai Ling to personally avenge, so we cannot act against them.”

“But what the hell is this Heavenly God Mountain? How dare they get involved with North Demon Cave and try to cause trouble for Chicken Lord.”

“We can’t touch North Demon Cave, but we can’t touch Heavenly God Mountain either?”

“Issue the order: tomorrow at noon, everyone will gather and follow Chicken Lord to annihilate Heavenly God Mountain!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present had different thoughts.

Those who had followed Chicken One and others from the very beginning, such as Four Seasons Sect and Ten Thousand Swords Sect, naturally remained unfazed.

After all, under the leadership of Chicken One and the others, the Fu Wang Palace was annihilated just like that.

In their view, it would be no difficult task for Chicken Lord to annihilate Heavenly God Mountain.

As for those who joined later, a tumultuous wave inevitably rose in their hearts.

This was Heavenly God Mountain!

One of the Four Transcendent Powers of the Northern Region.

Yet, in Chicken One’s mouth, it sounded like a mere chicken and dog, easily annihilated.

Although they had learned of the impressive feat of the Fu Wang Palace’s annihilation from the disciples of Four Seasons Sect and Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Still, hearing talk of annihilating another transcendent power, they couldn’t help but feel a shock in their hearts.

But soon, they began to get excited.

They never expected that one day, they would be fortunate enough to witness the annihilation of a transcendent power; just thinking about it made them a little thrilled.

Only one person felt a heavy heart!

This person was Jing Changqing, the Sect Master of Hantian Sect.

Years ago, he had been saved by the Sect Master of Heavenly God Mountain.

Now, learning that Chicken Lord was going to lead people to annihilate Heavenly God Mountain, he was momentarily plunged into deep turmoil.

When he was first subdued by Chicken One and the others, he had felt a thousand unwillingnesses and ten thousand grievances in his heart.

After all, as a Sect Master, his status could be said to be below one person and above ten thousand.

Suddenly becoming a subordinate who could be summoned and dismissed at will, anyone would feel unbalanced.

But as time went on.

This imbalance disappeared without a trace.

No wonder, Chicken Lord was too generous!

He would bestow various spiritual pills, great medicines, and cultivation techniques upon his confidants.

Moreover, every expedition brought rewards.

The cultivation resources that used to be a headache were so abundant that they were inexhaustible when working under him.

It could be said that working under Chicken One and the others allowed him to bypass several millennia of detours.

Under these numerous conveniences, Jing Changqing only regretted not having met such an enlightened master sooner.

Therefore, he was now very conflicted.

On one side was his enlightened master, and on the other was his life-saving benefactor.

What should he do?

How could he uphold both loyalty and repay the life-saving grace?

Finally, Jing Changqing’s eyes lit up, and he had an idea.

For Chicken One.

The matter of Heavenly God Mountain was a small one.

It wasn’t worth him dwelling on it too much.

After publicly announcing the attack on Heavenly God Mountain for tomorrow, his focus returned to the song and dance performance.

Jing Changqing, after the dance ended, followed the crowd out of the main hall.

After inquiring about the location of Heavenly God Mountain from the scout leader, he headed straight for his destination.

At this moment, Heavenly God Mountain!

Was stationed in a mountain forest.

Facing North Demon Cave from afar.

Sect Master Ling was holding a meeting with a group of high-ranking officials in a makeshift tent.

Just as the meeting was nearing its end and everyone was about to disperse.

Suddenly, a guard came to report.

“Reporting to the Sect Master, there’s someone outside claiming to be Jing Changqing, the Sect Master of Hantian Sect, who has come to pay his respects and says he’s here to repay the Sect Master’s life-saving grace.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone revealed surprised expressions.

In this era, especially in this cultivation world, people who would repay kindness were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.

Moreover, with their Sect Master’s status and strength, ordinary items would not catch his eye.

Ling Tian recalled and remembered that he had indeed inadvertently saved a person named Jing Changqing many years ago.

Later, that person somehow had an extraordinary encounter and became the Sect Master of one of the Northern Region’s top ten powers.

Such a person was indeed worth meeting.

“Let him in!”

As Ling Tian spoke, the guard respectfully assented.

Then he withdrew.

Before long, a man dressed in golden everyday clothes, with a square face and eyebrows forming a single line, entered the tent.

He was Jing Changqing.

He approached Ling Tian.

Cupping his fists, he went straight to the point: “Sect Master Ling, I have come specifically to deliver a message to repay your life-saving grace from back then.”

“Oh, what news is it?”

Ling Tian’s curiosity was piqued.

The other Heavenly God Mountain higher-ups also looked on with interest.

Some even wondered if it might be news of the True Demon Inheritance?

After all, given Heavenly God Mountain’s current status and position, it seemed that only news of the True Demon Inheritance would be valuable to them.

Under everyone’s curious or inquiring gazes.

Jing Changqing said with a solemn expression.

“Demon Palace will come to attack Heavenly God Mountain tomorrow.”

“I hope Sect Master Ling will make preparations early!”

“This… this is the message you’re giving to repay your life-saving grace?”

Ling Tian’s face, which had held some expectation, instantly turned cold.

He felt like he had been played.

The other Heavenly God Mountain higher-ups also began to look at Jing Changqing with unfriendly eyes.

An elder even sneered: “Heh heh!”

“Demon Palace!”

“This old man knows it’s a newly risen power in Demon City.”

“In a short time, it has indeed caused quite a stir.”

“However, our Heavenly God Mountain is one of the Four Transcendent Powers of the Northern Region.”

“They are not worthy to be enemies with our Heavenly God Mountain.”

His words were filled with disdain.

His impression of Jing Changqing had worsened to the extreme.

Sect Master Ling said even more coldly: “I have already felt your sincerity.”

“If there is nothing else, you may leave!”

“My Heavenly God Mountain has stood proudly in the Northern Region for many years; it is not something that just any cat or dog can provoke.”

“As for the so-called Demon Palace, if they don’t come, so be it. If they dare to provoke the might of my Heavenly God Mountain, I will ensure they never return.”

As he spoke, a powerful confidence emanated from him.

That was the unique arrogance of Heavenly God Mountain.

Jing Changqing’s expression shifted slightly, and his face was somewhat grim.

He had made such a huge decision to come and bring them a message, to give them a heads-up.

He never expected such a result.

Not only did he not receive any respect, but they were practically sweeping him out the door.

Thinking of this, he felt somewhat disheartened.

“Since Sect Master Ling is so confident, then I was indeed presumptuous.”

“I shall take my leave now.”

However, just as he was about to leave the tent.

He finally couldn’t help but mention something.

“Fu Wang Palace, one of the Four Transcendent Powers, fell at the hands of Demon Palace.”

“The words have been spoken, the life-saving grace has been repaid. How Sect Master Ling chooses to act is no longer within my control.”

“Farewell!”

His indifferent words, however, struck like a thunderbolt, heavily impacting everyone’s minds.

“Sir, please wait!”

Someone grew anxious and immediately invited Jing Changqing back again.
