Chapter 854: Sharpening Weapons and Feeding Horses

When the North Wind Lord came to Shenmu City again, he found that this city had undergone huge changes. The order in the city had become rigorous, and at the same time, there would be experts at the Mountain Lord level vigilant in every corner.

Anyone who dared to cause trouble in Shenmu City would be killed immediately. And in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, a might of thunder was condensed and did not dissipate, which meant that the Chijin Mountain Lord Dayi, who had passed the godhood tribulation, was here at this moment.

Even the North Wind Lord had to follow the rules here and did not dare to act recklessly.

After all, this trip was to calm the anger of this god. If, because of his own fault, he angered this Dayi, then he, a Lord of the Baishan, would die in vain if he died here.

"Lord, don't worry. You are a Lord of the Baishan of the Kingdom of Youfeng. Even if this Dayi is angry with you, he will not act casually. He has only been a god for a short time and must not want to become enemies with the Kingdom of Youfeng. So this is the best time to resolve the previous misunderstanding."

Beside him, an old man spoke. His name was Sage Yang Xi, a wise man in the North Wind Land.

"The god of the Kingdom of Youfeng also does not want to see the anger of a god because of my existence."

The North Wind Lord said: "The rule of a god can be maintained for thousands, or even tens of thousands of years. Even the god of the Kingdom of Youfeng has a day of aging and death. For the future of the Kingdom of Youfeng, resolving grievances is an inevitable thing. It's just that I hope all this can go smoothly."

He was still a little uneasy.

After all, he had joined forces with the Shenmu Lord and the Dahuang Lord to hinder the Chijin Mountain Lord from becoming a god. Although he did not participate in the battle, he came to Shenmu City and cut off a part of the sacred tree.

Now that Dayi had become a god, he naturally had to bear this anger.

Soon.

The North Wind Lord brought the wise man Sage Yang Xi to the City Lord's Mansion.

However, he also noticed that the golden sunlight in Shenmu City was not as dazzling as before. This was because many branches of the sacred tree had been felled. The sacred tree, which the Shenmu lineage had guarded and cultivated for many years, finally could not avoid experiencing this tribulation.

"North Wind Lord, you actually dare to come to Shenmu City. Don't you know that your previous behavior has already offended me? Or is it because of the Kingdom of Youfeng that you think I will not kill you?"

A cold yet incomparably majestic voice came from the City Lord's Mansion. This shout shook the firmament and made people feel terrified.

The North Wind Lord had just walked into the main hall at this moment. He saw the Chijin Mountain Lord Dayi, who was already a god.

This Dayi was not sitting on the chair of the former Shenmu Lord, but sitting on a white auspicious cloud in mid-air. Within the auspicious cloud, bolts of silver lightning intertwined, like a true dragon wandering.

A suffocating divine might was emitted from his whole body. Even he, a Lord of the Baishan, found it difficult to withstand.

"Kingdom of Youfeng, North Wind Lord Shuo Chong pays respects to the God of Chishan."

He said very respectfully: "I came to Shenmu City this time to calm your anger, and also for the peace between the Kingdom of Youfeng and the future Kingdom of Chijin."

"Wanting peace, just one word from you is not enough, even if you have the Kingdom of Youfeng behind you, it won't work." Li Yi's voice surged in the main hall, like violent thunder splashing everywhere.

The North Wind Lord's expression tightened, feeling this power, and he felt palpitations.

The gap between a god and a Lord of the Baishan was indeed incomparably huge. He had had the confidence to fight this Chijin Mountain Lord before, but now, he felt that he would die if he took just one strike.

Li Yi continued: "First send back the sacred tree you snatched some time ago to Shenmu City. Otherwise, your Kingdom of Youfeng is provoking me. In the future, we will inevitably have a great battle with your Kingdom of Youfeng."

He was very tough, directly demanding the sacred tree that the North Wind Lord had taken away before.

"Chijin Mountain God, the Kingdom of Youfeng became a god a thousand years ago. Its strength is much stronger than yours." The North Wind Lord did not want to be humiliated and shouted loudly: "If a divine war occurs, the one who will perish is very likely to be you."

"Even if I perish, I can shatter the entire Youfeng Kingdom before death arrives, dragging all the divine-blooded warriors of your Youfeng lineage down with me to the grave," Li Yi said. "Moreover, you had best pray that your God of Youfeng can definitely kill me; otherwise, all of you will have to endure the wrath of a god."

As soon as these words came out.

The North Wind Lord's pupils constricted. He did not expect this Dayi to be so violent, wanting to drag the entire Kingdom of Youfeng to be buried with him by himself. However, he knew that the other party was not alarmist, but truly capable of doing it.

When gods go to war, it is enough to turn a thousand-li kingdom into ruins.

At this moment, the wise man Sage Yang Xi on the side hurriedly stood out and said: "Respected Chijin Mountain God, our Kingdom of Youfeng came with sincerity, wishing for the two sides to calm their hatred and have permanent peace. The sacred tree my Lord took away before was a benefit promised by the Shenmu Lord and did not intend to offend you. On the contrary, my Lord, after knowing that you passed the tribulation and became a god, actively withdrew from Shenmu City, which is enough to show my Lord's sincerity."

"Distorting black and white. I have already sent people to take over Shenmu City. North Wind Lord, you relied on the strength of a Lord of the Baishan to forcibly snatch the sacred tree. Now I want you to return it. If you cannot make the decision, go and tell the God of Youfeng: either peace or war, you choose for yourselves."

Li Yi said coldly: "I have been very tolerant of you today, otherwise you would already be a corpse now."

"Time is up. Leave here immediately now. Next time, I hope to hear good news from you."

He did not say much more and scolded them to leave.

The North Wind Lord was furious, but reason told him that he absolutely could not be angry in front of a god, otherwise he would definitely die here today.

Seeing this, the wise man Sage Yang Xi hurriedly said: "May I ask the Chijin Mountain God, if we return the sacred tree, can the Kingdom of Youfeng and the Kingdom of Chijin reach permanent peace?"

"Of course. I can make a promise for this. As long as your God of Youfeng is willing to return the sacred tree, in the future, as long as I am still alive, I will not invade your Kingdom of Youfeng." Li Yi said: "I have been very merciful. You must know, North Wind Lord, you joined forces with the Shenmu Lord and the Dahuang Lord to hinder my path to godhood. I still remember this hatred."

"However, I am a person who pays attention to rules. You are willing to bring gifts to calm my anger, so I can give you this opportunity, but that is all. Now give me leave. I don't want to say it a second time."

The wise man Sage Yang Xi did not dare to stay here anymore upon hearing this and immediately pulled the North Wind Lord to leave quickly. They left all the gifts they brought this time and prepared to pass this matter back to the Kingdom of Youfeng.

However, the North Wind Lord who had just left Shenmu City could not suppress the anger in his heart. He roared, and a violent wind immediately rolled up between heaven and earth. This wind could blow away mountains and overturn rivers and seas, which was extremely terrifying.

"Lord, please calm your anger quickly. This place is not far from Shenmu City. That Dayi might still be able to sense the aura here." The wise man Sage Yang Xi hurriedly persuaded.

The North Wind Lord roared: "I am also a Lord of the Baishan, a God-Blood Warrior about to become a god. This Dayi should not humiliate me like this."

"But you are not a god yet. This Dayi had already defeated the Shenmu Lord and the Dahuang Lord before becoming a god. You should respect the strong, which is also respecting yourself." The wise man Sage Yang Xi said.

Upon hearing this, the North Wind Lord's anger subsided. He said: "You are right. Dayi is now a god. He has the qualification to humiliate me. I have nothing to say. It's just that to return the sacred tree, I cannot accept it. This is something the Shenmu Lord promised to give me."

"Perhaps you should follow the will of the God of Youfeng. No matter how precious the sacred tree is, it cannot compare to the permanent peace between the two countries. Just as this Dayi said, if a divine war starts, the Kingdom of Youfeng will be completely destroyed, and no one can be spared, including you." The wise man Sage Yang Xi shook his head slightly and said: "And the sacred tree is still in Shenmu City. If the Lord can become the second god of the Kingdom of Youfeng, then naturally you can return here and take away the sacred tree."

"No, even at that time, Dayi would actively send the sacred tree to maintain peace."

The wise man's words made the North Wind Lord suddenly enlightened. He nodded and said: "You are right. Only when I become a god can I wash away the shame and personally take away the sacred tree. At that time, Dayi will not be able to hinder me from doing anything."

"For the sake of peace and the future, the sacred tree must be returned."

The wise man Sage Yang Xi smiled: "This is the correct approach. The future of the North Wind Land is not in the sacred tree, but in you, the Lord of the Baishan."

The North Wind Lord did not speak anymore. After thinking it through, he looked back at Shenmu City, and then rode the strange beast and left quickly.

At this moment.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion.

"Tai Yi, was that a bit risky just now? We didn't intend to fight the Kingdom of Youfeng. If the deterrence failed, it would be terrible." At this moment, a mature and beautiful Daoist nun walked into the main hall, unable to help but feel nervous about what had just happened.

"Immortal Maiden, this doesn't look like you. Your courage has actually become smaller."

Li Yi laughed: "They dared to come, which means they won't have a conflict with us. And we haven't established the Kingdom of Chijin yet, while the other side is the prosperous Kingdom of Youfeng. As the wealthy side, they absolutely won't fight us for a branch of the sacred tree."

"And if I don't show strength, how can I fight for enough status? If they really start a war, I'm not afraid. At worst, I'll leave the savage world. But afterward, they should start worrying. The deterrent power of a god is not small."

Xiang Xiangzi rolled her eyes and said: "You think I want to worry about this? This savage world is too powerful. I don't want you to provoke powerful enemies and bring about crises. You must know that I can't protect you now. If I can't solve powerful enemies for you, I naturally feel a lot more guilty."

"No matter, in the future, if the Immortal Maiden is in trouble, I will naturally protect you and will not let the Immortal Maiden suffer any grievances." Li Yi said: "So take advantage of this hard-won peaceful time, hurry up and sharpen your weapons and feed your horses, and enhance your strength."

Xiang Xiangzi's beautiful eyes flowed, and she suddenly smiled: "I didn't expect Tai Yi to have the intention of protecting flowers. In this way, we can be at ease."

"Of course. However, after sending away this North Wind Lord today, I still have to go to Chijin Mountain. Hurry up and deal with these trivial matters. When I am away, I will trouble the Immortal Maiden with Shenmu City." After Li Yi finished speaking, he flew out of the main hall on auspicious clouds and then disappeared into the distance.

And not long after Li Yi left.

In a corner of Shenmu City, a scorching aura immediately surged, and then a golden fire light rushed into the sky. A new Sacred Tree Chijin Tripod was refined.

With two treasure tripods, this meant that the efficiency of refining weapons would double.

However, the Tiangong Daoist was not satisfied. He also wanted to refine a third Sacred Tree Chijin Tripod, because there were enough materials, and he could be so wasteful. ===== CHAPTER 855 =====
