Chapter 129: Xiong Batian Is Dumbfounded
He said to the Demon Beasts below: "Everyone, sorry to keep you waiting! I've made you worry!"
The smiles on the faces of Xiong Batian and Chiyan Hu froze instantly.
"You... how is it possible..."
Xiong Batian stammered, unable to finish his sentence.
Zhang Yi sneered, "How is it impossible? Just based on you trash, you want to compare with me?"
"You don't even have the qualifications to enter, yet you still dream of finding treasures? Stop dreaming! All the good things are inside the Core Land!"
"You're full of crap! You must have relied on some treasure to get in!"
Chiyan Hu roared, unconvinced.
Zhang Yi curled his lips in disdain, "Treasures? We relied on strength! Understand? Strength!"
He deliberately emphasized the two words "strength," as if it were a loud slap.
It landed fiercely on the faces of Xiong Batian and Chiyan Hu.
"You..."
Chiyan Hu was trembling with rage.
Yet, he did not dare to step forward to challenge him.
He knew in his heart that since Zhang Yi could refine the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud, his strength must far exceed his own.
"Not convinced? If you're not convinced, then come and fight me!"
Zhang Yi hooked his finger provocatively, "Come on, who's afraid of whom!"
The crowd of Demon Beasts looked at each other, none daring to act rashly.
Seeing this, Zhang Yi became even more smug.
He turned his head to look at Mother Jubiao and said with a smile: "Mother, look, they've all been scared silly by me!"
Mother Jubiao rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, "Stop being so full of yourself! Hurry up and get to business!"
"Alright!"
Zhang Yi agreed, then turned to look at Nudi, "Little sister, what should we do next?"
Zhang Yi knew in his heart that although Nudi, this girl, was usually very arrogant.
Her tail was almost pointing to the sky, and she couldn't wait to look down on people with her nostrils.
But at critical moments, her brain still turned quite fast, and she had plenty of devious ideas.
And sure enough, just as he finished asking what to do next.
Nudi's eyes darted around and landed on those few Great Demons from the Demon Saint Mansion whose faces were livid.
She moved with lotus steps, walking forward gracefully, a half-smile hanging on the corner of her mouth, "Fellow Daoists from the Demon Saint Mansion, would you like to cooperate with us?"
The few Great Demons from the Demon Saint Mansion had originally been staring fixedly at Zhang Yi.
They wanted to see exactly what level of cultivation this kid had reached after refining the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud.
Being interrupted by Nudi so suddenly, they were extremely displeased.
The leader, a fellow with a rat-like face, asked with a fake smile: "Cooperate? How are we to cooperate? Now that none of us can enter this Core Land, what is there left to cooperate on?"
Nudi chuckled, her voice crisp and pleasant like wind chimes, "You all can't get in, but we have, which is exactly why we need to cooperate."
She paused and continued: "We are new here and don't know much about the situation in this Core Land, but your Demon Saint Mansion comes in every year, so you must be much more familiar with the situation inside than we are, right?"
"How about this: you tell us where the best places in this Core Land are, and in exchange, we can reserve a decent spot for your Demon Saint Mansion. How about that?"
Upon hearing this, the faces of the Great Demons from the Demon Saint Mansion turned extremely ugly.
They were, after all, dignified Great Demons of the Demon Saint Mansion, representing the face of the Demon Saint Mansion.
Now, they were actually being reduced to the point of humbly negotiating with a few birds; this was simply a supreme humiliation!
The Great Demon's face was gloomy as he gritted his teeth and said: "Little girl, are you insulting our Demon Saint Mansion?"
Nudi covered her mouth and giggled, "Fellow Daoist, you joke. How could this be an insult? This is called win-win cooperation."
"Think about it, rather than gaining nothing outside, it would be better to cooperate with us and get a share of the spoils, wouldn't it?"
Another Great Demon from the Demon Saint Mansion said: "Hmph! How could our Demon Saint Mansion cooperate with you little Demon Beasts?"
Zhang Yi couldn't watch anymore from the side; he stepped forward and sneered: "Little Demon Beasts? I just refined the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud, can you do that?!"
"You!"
That Great Demon was annoyed but had nothing to say.
Indeed, they couldn't even get in right now, let alone the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud; even if they could get in, they might not have the strength to refine the auspicious cloud.
But to cooperate with a few birds in front of so many Demon Beasts, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?
That Great Demon's eyes darted around, and he said sarcastically: "I advise you to be sensible and hand over the method to enter, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
Zhang Yi curled his lips in disdain, "Want to fight? I'll accompany you to the end!"
Seeing both sides at daggers drawn, the atmosphere became tense to the extreme.
Nudi suddenly spoke up, "Everyone, why get angry? We all came for the treasures; why not talk calmly? Perhaps we can find a plan that satisfies everyone."
As she spoke, her gaze landed on a Great Demon, "This Fellow Daoist, I see you are a smart person; you should understand that the current situation is very unfavorable for you. Instead of wasting time here, why not cooperate with us and gain some benefits? Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"
The Great Demon's eyes darted around, clearly weighing the pros and cons.
After a moment, he finally spoke, "Fine, I can tell you where the best places in the Core Land are, but you must also agree to one condition of ours."
"What condition?" Nudi asked.
The Great Demon chuckled, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Zhang Yi and Mother Jubiao, "We want his and her Demon Crystal to study. Don't worry, we will return them after we're done studying!"
Clearly, this Great Demon wanted to see the genetics and background of these few birds.
Just as he finished speaking.
Zhang Yi's complexion turned livid in an instant, and a monstrous killing intent erupted from his body.
"You are courting death!"
Zhang Yi let out an angry roar, his figure flashing.
He appeared before that Great Demon in an instant, smashing his fist fiercely toward his face.
The Great Demon clearly had not expected Zhang Yi's speed to be so fast; caught off guard, he was struck squarely by the punch.
His nasal bone collapsed instantly, and fresh blood gushed out.
"Ah!"
He let out a miserable shriek, clutched his nose, and fell to the ground, rolling around in pain.
The other few Great Demons from the Demon Saint Mansion saw this and were instantly enraged.
They successively summoned their magical treasures and attacked toward Zhang Yi.
"Courting death!"
Zhang Yi sneered, not afraid in the slightest.
Behind him, the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud churned, transforming into streaks of flowing light that met those magical treasures.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions rang out as the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud and those magical treasures collided.
Dazzling light erupted.
Logically speaking, Zhang Yi did not need to go out and fight at all.
But he simply wanted to see just how explosive the energy of his Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud was.
It was the perfect opportunity to use these few Great Demons to practice.
Zhang Yi fought many against one, not falling into a disadvantage in the slightest.
Instead, he grew braver the more he fought, beating the few Great Demons from the Demon Saint Mansion until they retreated step by step.
Jubiao Mother watched from the side with her heart pounding, unable to help but shout, "Little Yi, be careful!"
