Chapter 211

During the war between the two races, the major sects could join forces against the enemy, but once the war ended, internal strife appeared.

Moreover, this time the Demon Race, in order to cease hostilities, offered considerable compensation—not to mention cultivation resources, the vast tracts of land likewise needed to be distributed.

As for how much each would receive, there was no doubt it would be based on military merit.

And everyone could plainly see the Dao Yi Sect's contributions in this war; it was already the foremost sect of Dongzhou, and if we let the Dao Yi Sect take the lion's share again, the Luo Xia Sect and the other two major sects would truly have no standing to compete with the Dao Yi Sect.

Thus, Su Luoxing, Qi Qinghe, and Yuan Taiji, with hardly any hesitation, chose to join forces.

We must suppress the Dao Yi Sect; at the very least, we cannot allow it to continue developing unchecked.

As for the Demonic Cultivators, what threat could a bunch of mice pose? They are not worth a glance.

In this war between the two races, after all is said and done, the Demonic Cultivators suffered the most; they wanted to seize the opportunity to rise, but before they could act, the Demon Race called a truce, leaving them instead with heavy losses.

「Qi Xiong, this time our four major sects have joined forces to encircle North City, yet your Dao Yi Sect actually let those Demonic Cultivators escape—I cannot help but suspect whether your Dao Yi Sect has colluded with the Demonic Cultivators; otherwise, how could those Demonic Cultivators have escaped under such a heavenly prison earth net? 」

Su Luoxing said this with a righteous expression.

Upon hearing this, the other sect masters within the light curtain all slightly changed their expressions.

Since the ceasefire, the major sects have launched a campaign against the Demonic Cultivators, and North City naturally fell to the four major sects.

With the four major sects joining forces, this should not have encountered any problems.

But the result was that, aside from two of the demonic path giants being slain, the rest all managed to escape successfully.

This was completely unexpected, and according to Su Luoxing, the Demonic Cultivators were able to escape solely because of the Dao Yi Sect.

It happened in the area under the Dao Yi Sect's responsibility; the Demonic Cultivators suddenly vanished, and he suspected that the Dao Yi Sect had deliberately let them go.

Faced with Su Luoxing's accusation, Qi Xiong gritted his teeth in anger and shouted coldly.

「Su Luoxing, cut the damn crap—everyone knows the relationship between my Dao Yi Sect and the Demonic Cultivators............ 」

「Heh, on the surface it's like that, but secretly who knows? You think I'm framing you? Then what about Brother Qinghe and Brother Taiji—are they also framing you? 」

Su Luoxing sneered, and beside him, Qi Qinghe and Yuan Taiji also spoke up in agreement.

「Qi Zongzhu, this matter is indeed Qīqiào; given the strength of the Dao Yi Sect, such a thing should not have happened. 」

「Indeed, no matter how you put it, those Demonic Cultivators disappeared in the area under your Dao Yi Sect's responsibility; your Dao Yi Sect must give an explanation. 」

Seeing the two speak so brazenly, Qi Xiong could no longer contain himself.

「I'll give an explanation, damn it—are you three old fogies teaming up to screw over my Dao Yi Sect? 」

「Qi Xiong, the evidence is solid as a mountain—do you still want to spout nonsense here? 」

Su Luoxing shouted coldly, the matter has come to this, the situation is set—don't you see that the faces of the many sect masters in the light curtain have all changed?

In fact, the whole affair was plotted by Su Luoxing.

On the way to North City, Su Luoxing secretly met with Qi Qinghe and Yuan Taiji.

「Gentlemen, the Dao Yi Sect has recently been showing off its sharp edge; in this war it is again the greatest contributor, and when rewards are distributed, the Dao Yi Sect will likely take the lion's share again. 」

「What does Su Zongzhu want to say? 」

「Nothing much—just, as fellow members of the four major sects, could you two really be willing to watch the Dao Yi Sect gradually surpass us? When the four major sects become a lone outstanding one, that's probably not what you'd want to see, right? 」

「What lofty opinion does Su Zongzhu have? 」

「It's simple: the Dao Yi Sect colluding with the Demonic Cultivators—this alone should be enough to offset all of the Dao Yi Sect's previous merits, right. 」

That's how simple it was; the three directly reached an agreement, and later during the battle, Su Luoxing found those demonic path giants.

Fully aware they would lose, Su Luoxing pointed out a way of survival for them.

In the area under the Dao Yi Sect's responsibility, his Luo Xia Sect had already prepared a Teleportation Array through which many Demonic Cultivators could escape from North City.

As for that, the Demonic Cultivator leaders naturally understood what Su Luoxing meant; for them, there was no choice, and they were also pleased to see it happen.

Thus, with hardly any hesitation, the Demonic Cultivators followed Su Luoxing's instructions to a specific location and successfully left via the Teleportation Array.

And this Teleportation Array has now become the most favorable evidence pointing to the Dao Yi Sect.

「Qi Xiong, by now you must give everyone present an explanation; otherwise, my Luo Xia Sect will not let this rest. 」

Su Luoxing pressed step by step, while Qi Xiong, at this moment, actually calmed down.

He swept a cold gaze over the three of Su Luoxing and sneered.

「Don't put it so high‑mindedly—you just want.................... 」

Originally, Qi Xiong wanted to say that these three fellows were stirring up all this trouble simply to suppress his Dao Yi Sect, and additionally, in the later distribution of rewards, to gain more benefits.

By now Qi Xiong also understood the situation; having come to this point, he could only accept defeat, and in the subsequent reward distribution, his Dao Yi Sect would want nothing.

This is probably also the result Su Luoxing has been wanting—Qi Xiong gives it to him.

But just as Qi Xiong had spoken halfway, suddenly, the projection formation on Su Luoxing's body flickered.

Who was contacting him at this moment? Suspiciously answering the formation, an old face that Su Luoxing had never expected appeared on the Formation Light Curtain.

「Hong Zun? 」

「Su Zongzhu, long time no see. 」

Why would Hong Zun contact himself at this time? Su Luoxing's face darkened slightly, and even Qi Xiong beside him was puzzled.

If you have something to discuss, why not contact me, your Shī xiōng, instead of going to that old monster Su?

The matter had already reached a critical point; Su Luoxing obviously had no interest in chatting with Hong Zun and spoke directly.

「I'm busy; we'll talk later if there's anything. 」

He was about to hang up the Formation when Hong Zun spoke first.

「No, I have important business to report to you, Su Zongzhu. 」

「Report? Why not report to Qi Xiong instead of me? 」

「Isn't this about your Luo Xia Sect, Su Zongzhu? You probably don't know yet, but the Third Elder of your Luo Xia Sect, Yu Li, has actually been in contact with the Demonic Cultivators; I'm saying this because I'm worried your Luo Xia Sect might go astray............ 」

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Luoxing exploded—damn it, who's been in contact with the Demonic Cultivators?

We are clearly talking about your Dao Yi Sect's collusion with the Demonic Cultivators—what does that have to do with my Luo Xia Sect?

Without waiting for Hong Zun to finish, Su Luoxing hurriedly interrupted, his face darkening to an extreme degree.

「Hong Zun, don't spout nonsense; be careful I'll sue you for slander—everyone knows the relationship between my Luo Xia Sect and the Demonic Cultivators is irreconcilable, how could we possibly have any dealings with them? 」

Su Luoxing's reaction was so strong that it left Hong Zun on the other side of the light curtain stunned, and he unconsciously glanced at Bai Hua Xianzi beside him and said.

「What's wrong with this old monster Su? I haven't even said anything yet—why such a big reaction? 」

「Who knows? Maybe he's just guilty inside. 」
