Chapter 1934: The Number One Who Acts Like a Fox Borrowing a Tiger's Might

Wu Zhong was present; the Netherworld Palace's speed was indeed very fast.

As soon as the Netherworld Palace Ancestor finished speaking, within a quarter hour, the Formation Disk that connected the Zhu Tian Wan Jie Xianmen had already appeared in the hands of the Guo Family Second Ancestor.

Having lived so many years, they are old foxes; their skill in assessing the situation is naturally perfected.

Moreover, neither the Guo Family Second Ancestor nor the Netherworld Palace Ancestor is a lone ruler; each has a large number of juniors behind them.

Therefore, before doing anything, one must think twice.

As for the Wu Family, to the Netherworld Palace it is obviously an existence they cannot afford to offend; even a casually arriving Elder is beyond what the Netherworld Palace can handle.

Therefore, for just a single Formation Disk, the Netherworld Palace Ancestor naturally had no hesitation.

After taking the Formation Disk, Wu Zhong showed no change; his expression remained calm.

Don't look at his fawning appearance before Ye Zhangqing; aside from Ye Zhangqing, outside, Wu Zhong still bears the mighty aura of the Wu Family Young Master.

"Young Master Wu has worked hard on the way; the Netherworld Palace has prepared some simple wine to welcome and cleanse the dust for Young Master Wu.........................."

If they obediently hand over the Formation Disk, the Netherworld Palace Ancestor will naturally not miss this opportunity to make contact with the Wu Family Young Master.

Previously there was no such opportunity, after all Wu Zhong has long been in the Cooking King Immortal City, and even wanting to see him is not guaranteed.

Now that this opportunity has arisen, how could the Netherworld Palace Ancestor possibly miss it?

As for this, Wu Zhong didn't wait for him to finish speaking before directly refusing.

"No, Shī xiōng has instructed that time is pressing; we still need to rush to other families."

The Formation Disk is not just for the Guo Family and the Netherworld Palace; there are also three other families, and Wu Zhong does not intend to linger long in the Netherworld Palace.

Seeing this, the Guo Family Second Ancestor at once spoke up in agreement.

"Not bad, Young Master Ye instructed that we dare not be careless; the welcome feast is unnecessary, but shouldn't you return the three Divine Weapons you took from our Guo Family last time?"

"Huh???"

Upon hearing this, the Netherworld Palace Ancestor's face instantly darkened, but soon returned to normal.

"This old bastard, truly a petty man who has gotten his way."

He was so angry his teeth itched, but with Wu Zhong present, the Netherworld Palace Ancestor dared not lash out and could only suppress it.

However, back then, the Netherworld Palace's acquisition of those three Divine Weapons was not honorable either.

It just so happened that the Guo Family encountered a situation requiring the Netherworld Palace's assistance.

And the Netherworld Palace, naturally not one to let a rabbit go without taking the hawk, upon seeing the Guo Family in trouble, immediately opened its mouth wide like a lion without a second thought.

As soon as it spoke, it demanded three Divine Weapons from the Guo Family, and the Guo Family had no way to refuse.

Because only the Netherworld Palace could resolve that matter back then.

Thus, as expected, the Guo Family was heavily fleeced by the Netherworld Palace.

Coincidentally, the one who originally delivered those three Divine Weapons to the Netherworld Palace was the Guo Family Second Ancestor.

Even to this day, he still remembers how he felt back then—gritting his teeth until they broke, swallowing it down, his heart full of humiliation.

Now the tides have turned; with the Wu Family Young Master in hand, the Guo Family too ought to overturn its fortunes.

Upon hearing the Guo Family Second Ancestor's words, the Netherworld Palace Ancestor darkened his face, eyes blazing with anger as he fixed a deadly stare on the Guo Family Second Ancestor.

Yet facing the Netherworld Palace Ancestor's gaze that seemed ready to devour someone, the Guo Family Second Ancestor paid it no heed.

With the Wu Family Young Master here, what, do you still dare to mess with me?

Thus the Guo Family Second Ancestor felt secure and fearless, speaking calmly without a trace of fear.

"Yin Brother previously said he would temporarily borrow our Guo Family's three arcane treasures; now the time has come, Yin Brother surely won't renege on the debt, right?"

"You....................."

Hearing this, the Netherworld Palace Ancestor gritted his teeth, for a moment not knowing how to rebut.

He could only sneak a glance at Wu Zhong nearby, after all the Wu Family Young Master's attitude was crucial.

If Wu Zhong truly stood with the Guo Family, then he would indeed be difficult to handle.

Wu Zhong, however, remained expressionless, showing no change, and sensing the Netherworld Palace Ancestor's gaze, he lightly said.

"Since there was a prior agreement, we should just follow it."

When Wu Zhong said that, the Guo Family Second Ancestor rejoiced, while the Netherworld Palace Ancestor felt his heart bleed.

Wu Zhong naturally leaned even more toward the Guo Family.

After all, from Ye Zhangqing's mouth he also learned of the relationship between Ye Zhangqing and the Guo Family.

Having come from the Xia Jie to the Immortal Realm, he has always lived in the Guo Family, and regardless of the reason, the Guo Family has indeed taken great care of Ye Zhangqing.

Furthermore, Ye Zhangqing himself had previously said this to his face.

As long as the Guo Family does not let him down, he will also not let the Guo Family down.

As a loyal lackey of Senior Brother Ye, Wu Zhong naturally must keep pace with Senior Brother Ye's steps.

Since Senior Brother Ye and the Guo Family have such a relationship, he must certainly be on the Guo Family's side as well.

As Wu Zhong spoke, the Guo Family Second Ancestor immediately laughed and said.

"Brother Yin, look at these Divine Weapons................"

"I'll have someone fetch them right away."

"That's right, as the saying goes, 'borrow well, repay well, borrowing again is not difficult.'"

"You................"

Seeing the Guo Family Second Ancestor like this, the Netherworld Palace Ancestor was furious beyond bearing, yet having no recourse, he could only suppress his anger.

He ordered someone to take those three Divine Weapons from the vault and return them to the Guo Family Second Ancestor.

With the Divine Weapons in hand, the Guo Family Second Ancestor smiled; indeed, having support behind him makes things easy.

In the past, trying to get the Netherworld Palace to return those three Divine Weapons would have been tantamount to demanding their lives—absolutely impossible.

This time, just because of a single remark from Wu Zhong, the Netherworld Palace obediently produced those three Divine Weapons.

In this world, in the end, it still comes down to fists.

Whoever has the bigger fist is right.

Having stored the Divine Weapon, he was about to leave, but just before departing, Wu Zhong suddenly recalled something and asked the Netherworld Palace's old ancestor.

Do you Netherworld Palace have a disciple named Luo Jiuyou, who is from Xia Jie?

Huh???

Do you have one?

Upon hearing this, the Netherworld Palace's old ancestor turned to look at the Netherworld Palace's Palace Master beside him; this ordinary disciple, given his status, naturally could not know him.

The Netherworld Palace's Palace Master, faced with the gaze of his own old ancestor, also froze; he didn't know either.

He immediately summoned the Elder below to inquire, and only then did he find Luo Jiuyou.

However, at this time Luo Jiuyou was not in the palace; instead, together with other Xia Jie cultivators, he entered that Mi Jing.

Regarding this, the Netherworld Palace's Palace Master dared not conceal it, and informed Wu Zhong truthfully.

Upon learning that Luo Jiuyou had entered that Mi Jing, Wu Zhong furrowed his brows slightly.

Although that Mi Jing, over which the Guo family and the Netherworld Palace have fought bloody battles, holds little allure for the Wu family, and the Wu family does not even look upon it.

However, Wu Zhong had heard some rumors about that Mi Jing.

Knowing that the Netherworld Palace and the Guo family lure these Xia Jie cultivators just to use them as cannon fodder.

Therefore, every time that Mi Jing opens, those Xia Jie disciples who enter suffer extremely heavy casualties.

Sometimes it's not strange even if they are wiped out entirely.

However, Luo Jiuyou was a matter Ye Zhangqing specifically entrusted to him, and he even gave him a Space Ring and a recording stone, saying to deliver them to the Netherworld Palace upon arrival; now that the person is not there, Wu Zhong coldly said:

Who sent him?
