97: What to give
"Thank you for your help, Old Ancestor."
On the way back, Zhang Hai respectfully bowed to Lin Tianxuan.
"The Chief arranged for me to come and meet you; he already guessed that the Beast Rearing Peak Chief wouldn't be able to accept defeat."
Lin Tianxuan's voice was calm; he did not intend to take credit for this.
Although Zhang Hai understood the other party's intention, he still felt warmed inside.
Once upon a time, he had been ostracized by the entire Zhang Family, and it was thanks to his Revered Master's intervention that he had achieved what he had today.
At that time, a Saint Powerhouse had come to pursue his Revered Master, only to be slapped into ashes; by now, the Su Family Old Ancestor's corpse probably hadn't even been found yet.
This action by Su Bai was equivalent to giving him a second life.
"Hiccup~ I haven't finished digesting yet."
Wangcai muttered softly, as if talking to itself, but in reality, it was secretly sizing up Lin Tianxuan with its dog eyes.
It said this specifically for Lin Tianxuan to hear; otherwise, if the other party fed it a huge pile of Heaven And Earth Treasure to boost its Cultivation after returning, it really wouldn't be able to handle it.
Wangcai's sneaky appearance had long been noticed, but Lin Tianxuan didn't say anything. Now that Zhang Hai was under no pressure, there was naturally no need to force Wangcai to improve its strength.
The two people and one dog soon returned to Spirit Gathering Peak. By this time, the sun was already setting, and it was about to disappear below the horizon.
Su Yao was currently in charge of cooking, and a large pot of pork stewed with vermicelli was about to be ready.
"Yo, you're back!"
After sensing the aura of the two people and one dog, Li Haotian immediately smiled. He put down the brush in his hand; just a moment ago, he had been struck by inspiration and painted a shocking masterpiece.
Two terrifyingly powerful Vicious Beasts were sitting together.
One of them looked fierce and malevolent, like an evil Dragon, its scales looking extremely hard.
It seemed as if a beam of light was about to be shot from its mouth.
And on the other side, the other Vicious Beast was covered in black fur, holding playing cards and playing a pair of threes.
This was the shocking masterpiece Li Haotian had spent an entire day creating: Godzilla and King Kong playing Fight the Landlord.
"Revered Master, I have not failed your expectations; I have successfully won the position of champion!"
Li Haotian nodded in satisfaction. Very good. In the future, the number of his Disciples would increase, and his Cultivation speed would also get faster and faster. Unfortunately, he hadn't gained any insights from the battle; perhaps it was because the opponents were too weak.
After all, a Disciple who had already comprehended the Dao might not necessarily lack the strength to fight even a Half-Step Heaven-Human.
Things like the Dao were generally only slowly contacted and comprehended by Heaven-Humans. The so-called Heaven-Humans were those who followed the Heavenly Dao and could naturally learn the Dao.
Below that level, there was simply no opportunity to come into contact with the Dao.
"Although I won the champion position today, it was slightly perilous. A Beast Rearing Peak Disciple suddenly attacked me, but fortunately, I used the Dao to neutralize it."
Zhang Hai recounted today's experience, and Li Haotian was so angry that he slammed the table!
"Damn it, that old bastard actually arranged for a Heaven-rank Disciple to kill you. That's too much! I must go with you to demand an explanation!"
Li Haotian pulled Zhang Hai up and headed to where the Sect Master was.
Immortal Master Xuan Qing looked at Jin Tianyang, who was complaining in front of him, and felt a bit troubled. If it were any other Peak's Disciple attacking their Beast Rearing Peak people, he could issue a punishment.
But the problem was that the one he had offended was Spirit Gathering Peak!
The Old Ancestor was an Elder there, so Immortal Master Xuan Qing naturally couldn't punish Zhang Hai for this matter.
"Sect Master, if my Revered Master, who bled for the Sect, knew from beyond the grave that his grand-Disciple was being bullied by people from Beast Rearing Peak, he certainly wouldn't be able to rest in peace!"
While Jin Tianyang was complaining, he suddenly heard a wailing, mournful sound from outside, like someone at a funeral.
Immediately after, he saw Li Haotian walking in with Zhang Hai, looking extremely aggrieved.
Immortal Master Xuan Qing helplessly closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. Why was this little ancestor here again?
"I have already roughly understood the situation. First of all, your Beast Rearing Peak is in the wrong for letting a Heaven-rank Disciple ambush an Earth-rank Disciple. Under normal circumstances, this Earth-rank Disciple would already be dead."
"Spirit Gathering Peak only has two Disciples; why do you still have to target them like this?"
Immortal Master Xuan Qing really didn't want to waste words and fired directly at Jin Tianyang.
Jin Tianyang was a bit confused. What the hell was this? Clearly, it was his own people who were injured and involved in the incident. Although his people were in the wrong first, it shouldn't be like this.
"But Sect Master, you..."
Jin Tianyang was interrupted before he could finish.
"Enough! As for that Disciple who ambushed Zhang Hai, have him write a self-criticism. He must deeply realize his mistake and be confined for one month to reflect on his actions, and he is not allowed to leave Beast Rearing Peak!"
"You go prepare some resources immediately and compensate Spirit Gathering Peak. A Disciple was wronged and almost died at your place; you must take responsibility."
Immortal Master Xuan Qing spoke logically and clearly, all to vent Zhang Hai's anger.
Li Haotian hadn't expected the Sect Master to speak up so smoothly this time.
Anyway, he had originally come to ask for some benefits for his Disciple, and now that he had gained them, he was no longer angry.
"Chief Jin, it seems you promised me before that if I won, you would do one thing within your capability. I'll keep this favor for now, and I will definitely contact you when I need it in the future."
Li Haotian no longer had that listless look from before; he was now grinning cheekily.
Jin Tianyang was so angry his vision went black. He had lost both his people and his face, and had suffered extremely miserable losses.
"Isn't your Disciple wrong too? He could have gone easier and spared that Disciple's natal spirit beast, but he still killed it. When you go back, you must have Zhang Hai..."
"Give what?"
Immortal Master Xuan Qing was halfway through his sentence when he heard a cold, clear voice enter his mind. The owner of the voice was none other than Lin Tianxuan.
"Give him a good rest; it would be bad if it caused any psychological trauma."
Breaking into a cold sweat, Immortal Master Xuan Qing's brain spun rapidly, and he quickly changed his words.
Jin Tianyang, who had just been about to feel relieved on the side, felt as if someone had shoved a lump of shit into his mouth. He was instantly stunned on the spot, eyes wide, not knowing what to say.
"Alright, alright, it's getting late. You guys should leave quickly; it's already dark outside."
Immortal Master Xuan Qing started to see them off. Jin Tianyang turned around helplessly and sighed leisurely.
"Yes, it's dark, it's too dark!"
Immortal Master Xuan Qing was still feeling fearful inside. After a long while, not hearing Lin Tianxuan's voice, his suspended heart finally settled down. At the same time, he was glad for his wit and quick reaction; thanks to changing his words in time, otherwise, he would probably be in trouble.
Jin Tianyang slowly flew up and headed towards Beast Rearing Peak.
Li Haotian also took Zhang Hai and, like a victorious general returning from battle, happily returned to Spirit Gathering Peak to prepare for dinner.
Today was another day of fleecing the sheep and taking advantage of others.
