Where the heck did those two old geezers go?

After a quarter hour, the elders and stewards of Divine Sword Peak all emerged from seclusion and rushed to Hong Zun's Dong Fu; facing Qi Xiong, whose face was as black as a pot bottom, everyone was utterly bewildered—what's going on?

How could that be? They entered seclusion before us.

Nobody else knew either; seeing this, Qi Xiong's gaze grew icier, but it was clear the elders weren't lying—they truly didn't know.

Translation: "Everyone was equally unaware; seeing this, Qi Xiong's gaze grew icier, yet it was clear the elders weren't lying—they truly didn't know."

In other words, those two old geezers had sneaked out.

Since asking got nowhere, Qi Xiong got up and left with Wu Shou.

Translation: "Asking yielded nothing, so Qi Xiong rose, taking Wu Shou with him, and left directly."

After the two left, the elders and stewards of Divine Sword Peak remained utterly bewildered, all guessing where the Peak Master and Grand Elder had gone.

Translation: "After the two left, the elders and stewards of Divine Sword Peak remained utterly bewildered, speculating wildly about where the Peak Master and Grand Elder had gone."

Until one elder said.

As soon as he said that, everyone froze, then quickly reacted.

Translation: "As soon as the words were spoken, everyone froze, then quickly realized."

We've been played—the Peak Master never entered seclusion at all.

At that moment, our mood was utterly miserable—wasn't it agreed we'd enter seclusion together?

Translation: "For a moment, their feelings were miserable to the extreme—hadn't they agreed to enter seclusion together?"

But Jinhai Yingdi has a grand formation—how could the Peak Master get in?

Translation: ""But Jinhai Yingdi has a grand formation—how could the Peak Master get in?""

There's nothing absolute in this world; pay a price, and you can naturally get in.

Translation: ""Nothing in this world is absolute; paying a price, one can naturally get in.""

Their mindset instantly snapped.

Translation: "Their mindset instantly exploded."

Someone also suggested going to Jinhai Yingdi, but it was quickly vetoed, because while the elders might possibly find a way to bypass the grand formation by scraping together resources, the stewards clearly couldn't—so going to Jinhai Yingdi was out of the question.

Jueying has always been like this—cold and terse since youth, few words, much like Liu Shuang; thus, facing the furious Qi Xiong, her expression never changed from start to finish.

Translation: "But the more she remained thus, the more Qi Xiong couldn't rein in his emotions, and he roared."

The ceremony starts in five days, but the main character's gone—what's the point of holding it? Have you ever seen a wedding without a groom?

Translation: ""The ceremony starts in five days, but without the main character, what's the point of holding it? Have you ever seen a wedding without a groom?""

Then just cancel it.

Translation: ""Then just cancel it.""

"I've already sent out the damn invitations—how can we cancel? Go, have your Shadow Peak people search for them—dig three feet deep if needed, I want these two old geezers found."

Translation: ""Good.""

Regardless of Qi Xiong's anger, Jueying gave a curt nod and turned to leave.

Translation: "Regardless of the furious Qi Xiong, Jueying nodded in acknowledgment and turned to leave."

Just as luck would have it, at that moment an elder from Hundred Herbs Peak, accompanied by several stewards, came to see Qi Xiong.

They didn't go to the Law Enforcement Hall, knowing it would be useless, since Shi Song couldn't handle Jade Maiden Peak—otherwise they wouldn't have been fuming with liver pain all month.

Just that the timing wasn't ideal.

Translation: "Just that the timing wasn't ideal."

A steward hurriedly walked in and said to Qi Xiong.

Sect Master, Hundred Herbs Peak..............

Get lost.

He hadn't finished speaking when an angry shout came from the host's seat.

Not daring to say more, he left the hall and told the Elder of Hundred Herbs Peak.

Come another day; the Sect Master is angry.

What's wrong?

It seems to be something concerning Divine Sword Peak.

Qi Xiong here is fuming, while far away in Huling, over hundreds of thousands of li away, a roar similarly echoes; the tiger howls again through the mountains and forests.

A huge black tiger raised its head and let out a long howl; the terrifying Demon King aura surrounded it—needless to say, this is naturally the Black Tiger Demon King.

Dao Yi Sect, I, the king, will have no end of enmity with you, ah..............

As for why it's angry, it's simple: its treasure vault was stolen again, and the thief likewise dared to inscribe a message on the wall.

Black Tiger Demon King, whatever Divine Sword Peak can do, I can do as well; today I stole your treasure vault, and someday I will surely put you in a pot to stew, so wash your neck and wait.

Signed, Ganfan Xianzi.

This is the second time already; are these Dao Yi Sect disciples only capable of staring at the black tiger and causing trouble?

Hearing the black tiger's roar, the Killer Tiger beside it has grown wiser this time, no longer speaking of revenge but instead offering comfort.

Your Majesty, please calm your anger; the Dao Yi Sect is powerful and should not be provoked lightly; otherwise we had best swallow our anger and retreat a step................

I thought saying that would be fine, but the next second a tiger's paw lashed out, a slap sent it flying, and immediately after came the Black Tiger Demon King's angry scolding.

I can't take this anymore—what can be tolerated, what cannot; I, the king, will flatten the Dao Yi Sect.
