Chapter 2120: One Wave After Another?
Seeing Hong Zun's nonchalant, bragging look, Qi Xiong couldn't help but feel his teeth itch.
As the Sect Master, how could he feel so stifled?
Although he is the head of the sect, his junior disciples below are all like living ancestors, yet he has no way to deal with them.
Punish? He can't bear to; hit? He might not win; he could only silently swallow his resentment.
"You.............."
Gritting his teeth, he said no more, turned and left to prepare.
This matter naturally required the power of the many offerings.
Just when Qi Xiong gathered a group of offerings and told them that in about half a Shíchén, a batch of provisions would arrive on its own.
Hearing this, the many offerings were dazed, completely bewildered.
"Sect Master, how do you know the provisions will come on their own?"
The more they heard it, the more fantastical it sounded; one of the offerings couldn't help but ask.
As for this, Qi Xiong momentarily didn't know how to reply, so he could only grit his teeth and say.
"I say there will be, there definitely will be; just get ready."
Being the Sect Master really made him angrier the more he thought; sometimes Qi Xiong truly wanted to quit but didn't dare.
What a lousy Sect Master; it would be more carefree to be an Elder. Every day when he opens his eyes, all the sect's affairs await his handling.
This couldn't be explained; Qi Xiong brushed it off, and although the offerings were full of doubt, they still followed his orders, hiding around the sect to wait for the provisions to be caught.
Time trickled by, and indeed about half a Shíchén later, a beast tribe troop was seen heading straight for the Dao One Immortal Sect.
Seeing this, the offerings hidden in the dark were all dumbfounded.
Is this real? Are those beast tribes really foolishly delivering themselves?
After a brief shock, as the beast troop had just entered the outer perimeter of the Dao One Immortal Sect but hadn't yet gotten inside the sect,
Suddenly, hundreds of offerings leapt up from all directions and then swarmed forward.
This sudden change left the beast troop no time to react; before they could respond, the human cultivators had already pounced.
"Vile humans, you.............."
By the time the leading Immortal Beast came to its senses, it was already too late.
The Dao One Immortal Sect's offerings showed no mercy, striking fast, accurate, and ruthless.
In a few moves they had captured that beast troop.
It could be said they were pressed to the ground without any preparation at all.
"Indeed, just as the Sect Master said."
Seeing how easily they had taken down the enemy, one of the offerings couldn't help but sigh.
And those beast tribes, upon hearing this, all furrowed their brows.
What does it mean to be proven right by the Sect Master? Did the other side already know they were coming?
No, this operation was the Beast King's spur-of-the-moment decision; they themselves didn't know beforehand.
If they themselves didn't know, how did the Dao One Immortal Sect find out?
Full of doubt, with no one to explain, the next second the entire beast troop was locked in the sect's prison.
The battle ended quickly, and at the same time, Hong Zun, who was with Qi Xiong, looked at his shocked expression and laughed.
"We've only just begun; Senior Brother, hurry up and prepare, the second batch of provisions is also coming soon."
Qi Xiong, already in shock, heard this and looked at Hong Zun with a stunned expression.
"More?"
This batch of provisions came so easily, and Qi Xiong was already astonished; yet there's more?
To this, Hong Zun smiled mysteriously.
"That's only natural."
Seeing Hong Zun's confident look, Qi Xiong sank into deep silence.
Just what has this guy done?
But as Hong Zun said, another batch of provisions soon arrived on its own.
Likewise, it was Xu Jie's arm.
After the first batch of provisions left, Xu Jie estimated the time and then summoned one of his subordinate Immortal Beasts.
"Go respond to them."
"Respond?"
The Immortal Beast, hearing this, was still confused; Xu Jie replied impatiently.
"What else? If the Dao One Immortal Sect had ill intentions, wouldn't not responding be impossible?"
"So you should read more in your usual time."
"But Beast King, you always said humans are inferior; how can our beast tribe learn from them............"
The Immortal Beast still had some doubts to say, but before it could finish, Xu Jie cut it off directly.
"Past words have nothing to do with me; telling you to read more means you must read more."
Under Xu Jie's tiger-eyed gaze, the Immortal Beast shuddered and then obediently withdrew.
Thereafter, following orders, it led a beast troop toward the Dao One Immortal Sect to meet up with its previous companions.
Although they didn't understand why the Beast King suddenly gave such an order, since he said so, they obeyed.
After all, following the Beast King's nature, any beast that dared to defy him had long been devoured by him.
And this second beast troop, upon just approaching the Dao One Immortal Sect, as expected, was easily captured by the offerings lying in ambush there.
Even after being captured, those beast tribes still weren't clear about what had happened.
Wasn't it just supposed to come and respond? How did we instantly become humanity's prisoners?
Two batches of ingredients have already been delivered to our door; this is practically handed to us on a platter.
But inside the hall, Hong Zun said there would still be more ingredients arriving one after another.
Upon this, Qi Xiong felt numb, unable to help but remind in a gloomy tone.
"Hong Zun, you master and disciple take it easy—Xu Jie brat is still in danger, isn't he?"
This master and disciple are also a bit too reckless; although the beast race has some intellectual issues, you can't just treat them as idiots.
With one batch after another of ingredients, even if the beast race were really stupid, they'd have to notice the problem, right?
Qi Xiong truly worries that this master and disciple, being so unrestrained, might actually get Xu Jie's little life played away.
However, regarding this, Hong Zun said with a confident expression.
"Senior brother, rest assured—Xu Jie brat has it under control; don't I, your master, still here?"
"You???"
Upon hearing that, Qi Xiong said with a look of contempt, his expression already making it clear.
You? You're utterly useless; it's precisely because you're here that people can't feel at ease.
And just while the two were speaking, a third batch of ingredients arrived at the door, likewise being directly taken down by the Dao One Immortal Sect's steward who had been lying in ambush.
Three batches of ingredients in a row—all walked right into the net.
Upon hearing the report from his subordinate steward, Qi Xiong didn't speak, merely waved his hand with a strange expression, signaling the other to retreat.
Immediately after, he turned his head toward Hong Zun with a resentful look.
"I say, you master and disciple don't plan to just use this method to wipe out that beast horde in one go, do you? That seems unlikely."
Qi Xiong felt that if this continues, exposure will inevitably come sooner or later.
