Chapter 364: Joyful Buddha

Zhang Tianzhen had his own concerns. After all, to truly join the Dao Yi Sect later, he still needed Qi Xiong's nod.

At this critical juncture, if he angered Qi Xiong, what would he do if he didn't agree?

Seeing his expression, Fairy Baihua smiled gently:

"Actually, Peak Master Zhang can also choose not to eat. If you don't eat, this matter naturally has nothing to do with you."

But before her voice had even faded, Zhang Tianzhen said unhappily:

"How can that be? I lost my entire foundation in this battle."

Over a hundred ninth-grade arrays, and even two Saint-grade arrays were lost. He lost so much he was about to lose his underwear; if he didn't eat Long Wang meat now, how could that be possible?

Seeing Zhang Tianzhen's appearance, Until Hong Zun and the three of them shook their heads and smiled bitterly. However, this old guy had indeed paid a lot in this battle, so Until Hong Zun still comforted him:

"Fine, fine, fine, you can eat first. Is that okay?"

"That's more like it."

"Don't worry. As long as we don't say anything, who knows that the old Long Wang died at our hands? Long Aotian killed the old Long Wang; what does that have to do with you and me?"

Qingshi also added. Hearing this, Zhang Tianzhen's eyes lit up.

That's right, Qi Xiong isn't at the offshore camp, so it's whatever they say. Later, they can just say that Long Aotian usurped power and killed the old Long Wang.

Anyway, it's just an excuse. Qi Xiong wouldn't be serious about such things; as long as the result is good, isn't that enough?

As the saying goes, when the mood is good, the appetite is good. Soon, mealtime arrived. As the first one to get food, Zhang Tianzhen wished he could just take the whole basin away.

Today's meal was stir-fried dragon meat, dragon offal with pickled peppers, and dragon bone soup. The taste was absolutely impeccable. And he didn't know if it was psychological, but he felt the meat quality was truly better than ordinary flood dragon meat.

Everyone lined up to get food. Just after eating a couple of bites, a Jade Maiden Peak disciple ran in hurriedly.

She couldn't help but swallow her saliva first, and then said to Fairy Baihua:

"Peak Master, something happened outside the array."

This Jade Maiden Peak disciple was responsible for guarding the array today. Just a moment ago, she saw a group of ordinary people and rogue cultivators running hurriedly toward the array, with many demonic cultivators following behind them.

She told Fairy Baihua the matter truthfully. Hearing this, Until Hong Zun furrowed his brows and said:

"Let's go out and take a look."

Until Hong Zun clearly didn't like these stinky rats that only knew how to hide in the dark.

Following Until Hong Zun's order, the disciples walked out of the array with their rice bowls, and naturally, those disciples who hadn't grabbed a spot did the same.

Outside the array, or rather at the entrance, the group that had fled all the way here was already surrounded by numerous demonic cultivators.

"Run! Why aren't you running anymore? Do you really think you can save your lives by coming to the offshore camp? Take a good look, where are the Dao Yi Sect disciples?"

"I'll tell you the truth: the Dao Yi Sect is busy dealing with the aquatic race. Right now, inside this array, it's probably already a mess. Where would they have the time to care about you?"

The demonic cultivators sneered, and at this, everyone's hearts instantly sank to the bottom.

They had always thought that as long as they reached the offshore camp, they could save their lives.

But now, the Dao Yi Sect's own situation was so dangerous; how could they have the time to save people?

It's over, completely over. Everyone fell into complete despair at this moment.

Watching the change in everyone's expressions, the demonic cultivators couldn't help but laugh wildly.

That's it; let them feel hope first, and then let them feel despair. It's truly interesting.

"Hehe..."

They were very satisfied with this result, but just as these demonic cultivators were laughing loudly, an angry shout rang out.

"A bunch of stinky rats, you've come here to die!"

Following the voice, the Jade Maiden Peak elders and Divine Sword Peak deacons who had been staying outside the array appeared, and without a word, they attacked these demonic cultivators.

The two sides fought together. Seeing this, the desperate crowd saw hope emerge in their eyes again. Some rogue cultivators couldn't help but shout:

"Dao Yi Sect experts! It's the Dao Yi Sect experts! We're saved!"

As for those demonic cultivators, they were all puzzled. Strange, why are there Dao Yi Sect experts here?

Isn't the Dao Yi Sect fighting the aquatic race?

They couldn't figure it out, but facing the attack of the elders, these demonic cultivators had no extra time to think.

Fortunately, there were quite a few demonic cultivators, and among them were several powerful experts, and even a demonic giant who had reached the Saint Realm level.

So, after the initial suspicion, the demonic cultivators quickly launched a counterattack.

"The flesh and blood of Dao Yi Sect experts are treasures! Kill them!"

Under the leadership of this demonic giant, the demonic cultivators quickly gained the upper hand.

Although they didn't know why Dao Yi Sect experts appeared outside the array, so what? It was just right to clean them all up together.

Moreover, as the battle continued, some demonic cultivators seemed to suddenly think of something and said with pleasant surprise:

"These Dao Yi Sect experts couldn't have escaped from inside the offshore camp, could they?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the demonic cultivators all felt it made sense. Yes, if that weren't the case, why wouldn't these people enter the camp, but instead stay outside?

They must have escaped from inside the offshore camp; the array should have been broken by the aquatic race by now.

Thinking of this, the demonic cultivators became rampant again. So they were just a bunch of stray dogs, haha.

"The aquatic race couldn't kill you, so let us do it for them."

"This is called: there is a road to heaven, but you don't take it; there is no gate to hell, but you break in."

Watching the suddenly rampant demonic cultivators, the Jade Maiden Peak elders all had strange expressions. What kind of bullshit aquatic race?

They had been waiting here for so many days and hadn't even seen a live shrimp, so how did they become stray dogs?

What are these guys thinking? Are they sick in the head?

Just as the demonic cultivators thought they had seen through everything and that the offshore array had long been broken by the aquatic race, at this moment, inside the array, an old man carrying a large bowl and looking slightly sloppy walked out.

After him came one Dao Yi Sect disciple after another, and elders—the number of people was so large that the demonic cultivators were dumbfounded.

Something's wrong. Why are there still so many Dao Yi Sect disciples and elders in the offshore camp?

Wasn't it already broken by the aquatic race? How come there are still so many people?

And... they looked at the large bowls many people were holding; that was clearly eating!

What about the great battle? Can Dao Yi Sect disciples find time to eat during a great battle?

Not to mention these demonic cultivators, even the Jade Maiden Peak elders were confused.

Because they hadn't entered the array, they naturally didn't know what had happened inside, but at this moment, they saw their own Peak Master elegantly eating from a large bowl.

What's going on? What exactly happened in the camp?

Both sides were bewildered. Only Until Hong Zun looked at the leading demonic giant and instantly recognized his identity.

"Joyful Buddha."

This was an old acquaintance. Back then, Until Hong Zun had chased and killed him for tens of thousands of miles and even cut off one of his arms. He didn't expect to meet him here again.

But just as Until Hong Zun's voice faded, Qingshi seemed to think of something and said in shock:

"What the hell, Old Drunkard, the sleeping pills you had before were given by him, right?"
