Chapter 215

A mere He family caused total defeat; Su Luoxing really wished he could kill He Lu with a single slap.

After being scolded, Yu Li frowned tightly and said.

"Shī xiōng, what exactly happened?"

"What's the matter? Ask your good disciple—what's going on with the He family? Why did Qi Xiong strike him from behind?"

Under Yu Li's questioning, Su Luoxing slowly related what had happened on the hall.

After hearing the whole story, Yu Li's eyes were full of anger—Hong Zun, again this Hong Zun, how do you show up everywhere?

However, Yu Li still affirmed one thing right away.

"Shī xiōng, this probably wasn't done intentionally by Qi Xiong, but...... but it was just a coincidence."

"A coincidence?" Hearing that, Su Luoxing stared, then found it even harder to accept.

"Bullshit, this is just Qi Xiong's sneak attack; this old bastard is despicably sneaky to the extreme—I know him too well."

"Shī xiōng, Hong Zun had contacted the junior sister before, and their appearance in Yun City was probably also an accident.........."

Yu Li told Su Luoxing that Hong Zun had contacted her before, but she had directly refused him.

I thought saying this would make Su Luoxing understand the key point, but instead he got another scolding.

"Damn it, why didn't you agree to him back then? It's just a bit of compensation—just give it to him."

If Yu Li had readily agreed to Hong Zun's request back then, would Hong Zun still have contacted him? If Hong Zun hadn't contacted him, wouldn't he have been doomed by Qi Xiong?

Exactly, that's the reasoning—damn it, the problem lies entirely with you.

After some thought, Su Luoxing felt he had seen through the essence of the whole matter, glaring angrily, while Yu Li was completely bewildered.

I was trying to help you out, so why is everything now blamed on me? And that old bastard Hong Zun has threatened me repeatedly—do I really have to agree to him?

"Shī xiōng, if it were you.........."

"Shut up—if it were me, I'd just agree to him. Not tolerating a small spoil ruins big plans; you don't even get this simple principle?"

I was left speechless—can this also be blamed on me? But whoever let them be the Sect Master, the Sect Master's word is law.

Yu Li obediently kept quiet, waiting until Su Luoxing finished his tirade, then the master and disciple took their leave.

Su Luoxing was fuming, his liver aching, while on the other side Qi Xiong was delighted.

Especially after praising Hong Zun to the heavens.

"I said it, Hong Zun junior brother is a capable person, yet you all still don't believe it."

In the hall, Qi Xiong recounted what had just happened to everyone, but after hearing those words, Wu Shou, Shi Song, Tian Nong, and the others all had strange expressions.

No, you didn't used to say that before.

"Senior Brother, you used to say Hong Zun junior brother was hopeless mud that can't support a wall, it was me.........."

"Nonsense, when did I ever say that?"

He hadn't finished speaking when Qi Xiong directly cut him off.

Everyone's mouths twitched—well, your face-changing speed is unmatched.

Seeing the atmosphere was off, Qi Xiong lightly coughed a few times and changed the subject.

"Cough cough, Hong Zun junior brother has achieved great merit this time, which is beyond doubt; moving forward, the cleanup of Demonic Cultivators must not be relaxed.........."

With Northern City taken by the four great sects, the myriad demonic masters fled back to the Forbidden Land, and the Demonic Cultivators were utterly defeated.

As for the Demonic Cultivators in other regions, they also faced encirclement by the various sects, all fleeing toward the Forbidden Land.

The previously chaotic Dongzhou gradually regained peace; the two clans' war ended, and the Demonic Cultivators suffered a heavy blow—this is obviously good news for ordinary people.

And in Yun City, after staying with his parents for a little over half a month, Ye Zhangqing, Hong Zun, and Bai Hua Xianzi also prepared to take their leave.

However, Dàhuáng, after eating Ye Zhangqing's food, insisted on coming along no matter what.

At the city gate, the Ye family came to see them off, and Ye Zhangqing gave his father Ye Ming a helpless look.

"Dad, Dàhuáng doesn't need to follow me, right?"

"Take him along—it's rare that Dàhuáng likes you."

"Are you sure it's not because you dislike it, Dad?"

"Nonsense, how could I dislike Dàhuáng? When it's quiet, it's still a fine dog."

Ye Ming's face turned red as he said this; seeing that, Ye Zhangqing's expression turned strange—why does his father resemble the third senior brother and the others? Could it be that his father once harbored fantasies about Dàhuáng?

Faced with Ye Zhangqing's gaze, Ye Ming's face flushed completely red.

Get lost, get lost—take Dàhuáng and scram!

On the other side, Mother Lan Yue was chatting with Bai Hua Xianzi, and the two women kept giggling.

Ye Zhangqing was equally helpless—just a few days and his mother and Bai Hua Xianzi had become close confidantes; what the heck is going on?

Moreover, Ye Zhangqing always felt Bai Hua Xianzi was doing this on purpose, surely with some hidden motive, though he hasn't figured it out yet.

Ye Ming shouted a scolding, and Lan Yue also spoke up at that moment.

"Zhangqing, come over."

"What's wrong, Mom?"

"Once you return to the sect, you must take good care of Bai Hua junior sister, understand?"

That sentence left Ye Zhangqing stunned, his gaze blank as he looked at the smiling Bai Hua Xianzi.

Me look after her? She's a damn Shèngjìng powerhouse, while I'm just a damn Golden Core Stage perfected cultivator—look after her?

And what the heck is Bai Hua junior sister? Mom, her age is probably enough to be our family's great-grandmother.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing not reply, Lan Yue spoke again.

"You kid, did you hear what I said?"

"Mom, I think this is totally unnecessary, Bai Hua Peak Master.........."

"What's unnecessary? You won't even listen to your mother's words?"

Ha, this is just absurd—me, a Golden Core Stage, going to look after a Shèngjìng; saying that out loud wouldn't that be the height of foolishness?

But I couldn't not heed the old lady's words, so Ye Zhangqing could only agree.

Immediately, under the constant reminders of the two elders Ye Ming and Lan Yue, Ye Zhangqing's group then set out to return to Jinhai Yingdi.

However, this time returning home, Ye Zhangqing still left plenty of cultivation resources for the family, and Hong Zun and Bai Hua Xianzi also paid out of their own pockets, giving many treasures.

Although the Ye family's talent and aptitude are poor—including Ye Ming and Lan Yue—with so many cultivation resources they could still improve greatly, it would just be a waste.

But does Ye Zhangqing fear waste? The medicinal pills on him are simply too many to finish.

Returning to Jinhai Yingdi without incident, the next half month saw Dongzhou completely pacified, the various sects returning one after another, and the Water Tribe causing no trouble.

Inside the camp, as usual, after eating, the many disciples did what they ought to—some cultivated, some did whatever they needed.

Ye Zhangqing, Hong Zun, Qing Shi, Zhāng Tiānzhèn, and Bai Hua Xianzi sat in a row on the backyard Tǎng yǐ to rest.

Just then, Hong Zun's Projection Formation lit up; upon connecting, it turned out to be Qi Xiong.

His old face broke into a grin like a blooming chrysanthemum, and he smiled at Hong Zun and said:

"Junior Brother, the senior brother and everyone have discussed it—this time your Divine Sword Peak held off the Water Tribe with great merit; for the remaining months you need not guard Divine Sword Peak, return to the sect. The senior brother has ordered Overlord Spear Peak to take over, and also Bai Hua Shimei's Jade Maiden Peak."

"Return to the sect?" Hearing that, Hong Zun immediately refused.

"What are you saying, senior brother? As the Peak Master of the Dao Yi Sect, I am willing to live and die for the sect; until the Water Tribe is destroyed, I swear not to return to the sect."
