Chapter 645

He wanted to decline, but before he could finish, a group of Demon Kings roared angrily:

"Presumptuous! You dare to disobey the Patriarch's order?"

"I think this guy has no loyalty to our Tiger Clan at all. Kill him."

"Exactly, making excuses for such a small matter."

The Tiger Kings instantly became agitated, each shouting that they would teach Sha Hu a lesson. Seeing this, Sha Hu stood frozen in place.

No, I didn't say anything, did I? Why are you all acting like your tails were stepped on?

They were indeed stepped on, because if you don't go, are they really going to go themselves?

Regarding this matter, the Demon Kings were clearly unwilling to go; otherwise, how would it have reached Sha Hu?

You were brought here for this, and now you say you won't go?

Fearing that Ba Hu might change his mind, the Demon Kings were more agitated than the next.

Fortunately, with the Wisdom Tiger Demon King there, Ba Hu did not change his mind.

"Enough, all of you shut up."

With a low roar from Ba Hu, the Demon Kings fell silent, their gazes falling back on Sha Hu.

"Don't worry about this matter. I have already discussed it with Hong Zun. You just go and retrieve the demons; there won't be any danger."

Heh...

Hearing this, Sha Hu sneered internally. No danger? You've already discussed it with Hong Zun?

With Hong Zun's lazy and cunning personality, can his words be trusted? Whoever trusts him dies.

And "no danger"? This trip will surely be a narrow escape from death.

However, Ba Hu did not give Sha Hu another chance to refuse and made the final decision:

"It is settled. Prepare yourself and set off. Just tell Wisdom Tiger how many demons you need to take."

"If you can handle this well, I will give you a chance to enter the Ancestral Pool."

He didn't just use pressure; Ba Hu also offered benefits.

The Ancestral Pool—for all Tiger Clan members, this was a place of dreams.

Because this place could not only rapidly increase cultivation but also purify the Tiger Clan bloodline, allowing those with ordinary bloodlines to evolve into high-grade bloodlines.

There was even a saying in the Tiger Clan that whoever could enter the Ancestral Pool would surely become a Demon King as long as they didn't die.

Not all Demon Kings had entered the Ancestral Pool, but those who had, all became Tiger Clan Demon Kings.

Unfortunately, the Ancestral Pool was precious and rarely opened unless one had performed a great service to receive such a reward.

Such a heavy reward made even Sha Hu's eyes light up. The Ancestral Pool! As long as he succeeded, he could enter the Ancestral Pool, and then he would have the possibility of becoming a Demon King.

But this light flashed only for a moment and quickly dissipated.

It looked tempting, but one had to have the life to enjoy it. Whether he could return from this trip was an unknown, and if he fell into the hands of the Daoyi Sect...

Never mind the Ancestral Pool; even the Heavenly Pool wouldn't help.

Unfortunately, Ba Hu did not give Sha Hu another chance to refuse. After the words were spoken, he dismissed the demons.

Sha Hu followed the Wisdom Tiger Demon King to his cave. Looking at Sha Hu, who already had a deathly look on his face, the Wisdom Tiger Demon King said calmly:

"Speak, what help do you need, and how many demons do you want to take?"

Hearing this, Sha Hu looked at the Wisdom Tiger Demon King and said weakly:

"Ten Demon Kings?"

"If you want to die, I can fulfill that for you right now."

You want to take ten Demon Kings? If there were ten Demon Kings, what would I need you for? That's nonsense.

Sha Hu knew it was impossible, so in the end, he set off with only about a hundred demon beasts.

Watching the back of Sha Hu's departing group, the Wisdom Tiger Demon King sighed secretly.

"The Bai Hu probably won't be coming back."

Previously, the Wisdom Tiger Demon King had indeed intended to save the Bai Hu, but as time passed and his understanding of the Daoyi Sect grew...

The hope in the Wisdom Tiger Demon King's heart became increasingly slim. Things that fell into the hands of the Daoyi Sect were too difficult to get back, especially with that Hong Zun involved.

If it were any other peak of the Daoyi Sect, it would be easier to talk, but it just had to be the Divine Sword Peak.

Unaware of the Tiger Clan's actions, at the Putuo Temple, the Daoyi Sect's station, Master Juexin successfully recast his Buddhist heart and immediately joined the "rice-eating army."

Watching him eat until his mouth was oily while his Buddhist heart remained completely unaffected, Ye Changqing was filled with admiration.

That a high monk of the Buddhist sect could recast his Buddhist heart so easily was truly unexpected.

Then there were the Putuo Temple disciples; since even the Abbot had joined the rice-eating army, they naturally became increasingly unscrupulous.

More and more people came, and the cows in the shed became fewer and fewer.

This made the few servant disciples in the shed extremely anxious, but there was nothing they could do.

Telling the deacon was useless as the deacon couldn't handle it; reporting to the Elders, the Elders would only say one thing: "Everything as usual."

That's easy to say, but can you please come to the shed and see for yourself?

These disciples and Elders, one cow today, two cows tomorrow—the cows in the shed were about to hit rock bottom.

They didn't know where they were taking these cows; it was like a bottomless pit. Once led away, it was impossible for them to return.

After eating, Hong Zun and the others chatted in the backyard. Among them were Master Juexin and Jueming, the two brothers, whom Hong Zun had invited over.

Ye Changqing and the others on the side looked at Hong Zun and knew he was up to some trick again. After all, if you want to eat the Daoyi Sect's food, how could you not pay something for it?

Sure enough, they heard Hong Zun look at Master Juexin and say with a smile:

"Congratulations, Abbot Master Juexin, on recasting your Buddhist heart."

"Fellow Daoist Hong Zun is too kind."

"Sigh, this is a joyous occasion, naturally worth congratulating. Besides, from now on, the Abbot can come to my Daoyi Sect to eat without any scruples."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Hong Zun."

"If the Abbot can come, my Daoyi Sect is certainly welcoming. It's just that the number of people is too large, and the daily consumption of ingredients is not small. And since this is the Putuo Temple, my Daoyi Sect disciples cannot act easily. So, regarding the ingredients, Abbot, what do you think..."

There was no need to finish; anyone could understand Hong Zun's meaning. Since even Master Juexin had been dragged into the water, ordinary plow cows certainly wouldn't satisfy Hong Zun's appetite.
