Chapter 546: My Profound Heaven Sect is the leader of the righteous path

In Demon King Zhihu's eyes, Yang Xian was the chief culprit, a despicable, shameless villain with no bottom line.

Soon, Yang Xian's figure appeared within the blood screen. Seeing Demon King Zhihu, Yang Xian wore a helpless expression.

Just as he was about to speak, Demon King Zhihu shouted angrily first.

"Yang Xian, what exactly do you mean by this? Do you think my Tiger Clan is easy to bully?"

"No, I didn't..."

Hearing this, Yang Xian hurriedly tried to explain, but before he could finish, Hong Zun's angry shout came from the side.

"Yang Xian, I told you long ago that we cultivators must have integrity, even when dealing with the demon race. Since we agreed to release the demons, how could you go back on your word?"

Huh???

Hearing this, Demon King Zhihu was stunned, and Yang Xian was also stunned, immediately turning to glare at Hong Zun.

Where on earth do you get the face to say such things? Wasn't this all designed by you?

Inside the Lingcheng main hall, Hong Zun looked at Yang Xian with a face full of rage, as if he were truly furious to the extreme.

At the same time, he walked a few steps to the blood screen, looked at Demon King Zhihu on the other side, and said with a face full of self-reproach.

"Zhihu, this time it was this old man who failed to restrain Yang Xian, allowing him to commit such a disgraceful act."

Huh???

Demon King Zhihu was a bit confused, but facing Hong Zun, he still said irritably.

"Hong Zun, don't put on a hypocritical act here. Yang Xian is the mastermind, and your Profound Heaven Sect is the accomplice. You are all in this together."

Hearing Demon King Zhihu's angry cursing, Yang Xian, standing to the side, was so angry he could have exploded. How the hell did I become the mastermind?

Hong Zun, however, acted as if he were disappointed in him.

"Yang Xian, I told you long ago that even if our two races have a blood feud, we cannot commit such dishonorable acts. You even wanted to kill the Black Tiger Demon King and the Blood Tiger Demon King directly before. If I hadn't stopped you, you would have made a grave mistake, do you know that?"

"Hong Zun, don't you dare spout such slander..."

"Yang Xian, you have truly disappointed me. Qingshi, take him away and let him reflect on his actions."

Hong Zun scolded angrily, and Qingshi and the others understood instantly, stepping forward to cover Yang Xian's mouth and dragging him out of the hall.

With Qingshi and the others working together, Yang Xian struggled frantically, but it was to no avail; one could only vaguely hear his angry shouting.

"Hong Zun, you are slandering me, I am not finished with you..."

"Let go of me, what are you doing? Is there no law left?"

Having removed Yang Xian, Hong Zun looked at the suspicious Demon King Zhihu in the blood screen and said self-reproachfully.

"Zhihu, although this was planned by Yang Xian, my Profound Heaven Sect was involved, and I won't make too many excuses. However, for now, I have preserved the lives of the Black Tiger and Blood Tiger Demon Kings; there is still room for maneuver."

"Black Tiger and Blood Tiger are not dead?"

"They are not dead. I am willing to release them."

Still releasing them? This time, Demon King Zhihu did not agree immediately, but instead looked Hong Zun up and down through the blood screen.

But at this moment, Hong Zun looked full of righteousness, and not a single flaw could be seen. Demon King Zhihu could only ask suspiciously.

"Would you be so kind?"

"Heh, what do you take my Profound Heaven Sect for? My sect would not stoop to such base methods. Even if we were to defeat your Tiger Clan, it would be done openly and honestly on the battlefield."

"My Profound Heaven Sect is the leader of the righteous path and the number one sect in Dongzhou. Do you think we are the same kind of trash as the Luoxia Sect?"

"My sect would not stoop to winning through such despicable means. As for the Black Tiger and Blood Tiger Demon Kings, this old man has no interest in them."

He was truly righteous and had the demeanor of an expert. Demon King Zhihu was left stunned by Hong Zun's words, unable to gauge his true intentions for a moment.

Is this Hong Zun really willing to release the demons?

But upon second thought, what Hong Zun said made some sense. The Profound Heaven Sect is powerful and has high prestige; there is indeed no need for this.

Moreover, if Hong Zun really had some trick up his sleeve, how could he have preserved the lives of the Black Tiger and Blood Tiger? He could have just let Yang Xian kill them.

Since Hong Zun could save the lives of the Black Tiger and Blood Tiger, he must not be a despicable villain like Yang Xian.

However, to be cautious, Demon King Zhihu still asked.

"How can I believe you?"

To this, Hong Zun feigned anger.

"Believe it or not, this old man is kindly preserving the lives of two of your Tiger Clan's Demon Kings; why would I need you to believe me?"

"That is not what I meant, but you also know Yang Xian's previous actions, so I have to be a bit careful."

"I will guarantee this in the name of the Luoxia Sect Master, Su Luoxing. Is that enough?"

Su Luoxing? The Luoxia Sect Master? You are using his name to guarantee this? Why does that sound so wrong?

Meanwhile, Su Luoxing, who was at the Luoxia Sect, suddenly felt a sense of unease.

"What is this? Why do I suddenly feel a chill in my heart? Strange."

He muttered to himself, but couldn't find any problem, so he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

As for Hong Zun, after some... no, after the conversation, he agreed on a location for the exchange with Demon King Zhihu.

This time, it was a location chosen by Demon King Zhihu, the purpose being to guard against the humans.

To this, Hong Zun agreed very readily, once again reducing the suspicion in Demon King Zhihu's heart.

Finally, Demon King Zhihu said to Hong Zun.

"Hong Zun, I hope you will not be like that despicable villain Yang Xian and go back on your word."

"Hmph, who in Dongzhou doesn't know that my word is my bond? How could I be like Yang Xian?"

"Good."

Immediately, Demon King Zhihu hung up the call, and the blood screen disappeared. At this moment, Ye Changqing, Xu Jie, and the others happened to walk in. Looking at Hong Zun, Xu Jie said with a strange expression.

"Master, you are being a bit dishonorable here."

Even Xu Jie felt it was a bit excessive. You really don't treat the Tiger Clan as people.

Using the same tactic over and over again, and honestly, it is a bit despicable.

To this, Hong Zun said irritably.

"Are you sick? Who the hell talks about honor with ingredients?"

"Besides, the one with the problem is the Luoxia Sect; what does that have to do with my Profound Heaven Sect? Tomorrow, all of you change into casual clothes and cover your faces. No matter who asks, you are Luoxia Sect disciples."

Huh???

Hearing this, Xu Jie and the others were stunned, then they all gave a thumbs up.

"Master, what a brilliant tactic."

"Hmph."

With a haughty snort, Hong Zun strode away, presumably to discuss the plan with Qingshi and the others.

In the backyard room, Yang Xian was being held by Qingshi and the others, cursing incessantly, until Hong Zun walked in and said one sentence. ===== CHAPTER 547 =====
