Chapter 296: Our Dao Yi Sect is indeed the leader of the righteous path

In Zhi Hu Yaowang's view, Yang Xian is the chief culprit; this is a despicable, shameless scoundrel with no limits.

Soon, Yang Xian's figure appeared within the blood curtain; seeing Zhi Hu Yaowang, Yang Xian wore a helpless look.

Just as he was about to speak, Zhi Hu Yaowang angrily shouted first.

"Yang Xian, what exactly do you mean? Do you think my tiger clan is easy to bully?"

"No, I'm not............."

Hearing this, Yang Xian hurried to explain, but before he could finish, Hong Zun's angry shout came from beside.

"Yang Xian, I've already told you, cultivators must have integrity, even when dealing with the demon race; since we agreed to release the demons, how can we go back on our word?"

Huh???

Hearing this, Zhi Hu Yaowang was stunned, Yang Xian was also stunned, then he turned his head and glared angrily at Hong Zun.

"What the hell gives you the nerve to say such things? Isn't this all your design?"

Inside the Spirit City hall, Hong Zun glared at Yang Xian with a furious expression, as if truly angry to the extreme.

At the same time, he stepped forward to the blood curtain, looked at Zhi Hu Yaowang on the other side, and said with self-reproach.

"Zhi Hu, this time I failed to restrain Yang Xian, allowing him to commit such a despicable act."

Huh???

Zhi Hu Yaowang was a bit confused, but facing Hong Zun, he still spoke unhappily.

"Hong Zun, don't act all high and mighty here from the Dao Yi Sect; Yang Xian is the mastermind, your Dao Yi Sect is also an accomplice, you're all in cahoots."

Hearing Zhi Hu Yaowang's angry tirade, Yang Xian beside him was fuming, thinking, "Damn, how did I become the mastermind?"

Hong Zun, on the other hand, looked resentful that he could not contend with the Dao.

"Yang Xian, I've already told you, even though our two races have a grudge, we still cannot do such an unrighteous act; you previously wanted to directly kill the Heihu Yaowang and Xuehu Yaowang, and if I hadn't stopped you, you would have made a huge mistake, do you understand?"

"Hong Zun, don't spout bloody nonsense............"

"Yang Xian, you have truly disappointed me; Qing Shi, take him away and let him reflect properly."

Hong Zun shouted angrily, and Qing Shi and the others instantly understood, stepped forward to cover Yang Xian's mouth, and dragged him out of the hall.

Under the joint effort of Qing Shi and the others, Yang Xian struggled wildly, but to no avail; all that could be faintly heard was his angry shouting.

"Hong Zun, you're slandering me; this matter between us isn't over............"

"Let go of me, what are you doing, is there still any law?"

After removing Yang Xian, Hong Zun looked at the suspicious Zhi Hu Yaowang within the blood curtain and said self-reproachfully.

"Zhi Hu, although this was Yang Xian's plan, the Dao Yi Sect also participated; I won't defend myself too much, but for now, I have saved the lives of the Heihu Yaowang and Xuehu Yaowang, and there is still room for maneuver."

"The Heihu and Xuehu aren't dead?"

"They're not dead; I'm willing to release them."

"Still release? This time Zhi Hu Yaowang didn't immediately agree; instead, from behind the blood curtain, he sized up Hong Zun up and down."

At this moment, Hong Zun appeared completely upright, showing no trace of anything, so Zhi Hu Yaowang could only respond suspiciously.

"Would you really be so kind-hearted?"

"Hah, what do you think the Dao Yi Sect is? Such despicable tactics, the Dao Yi Sect would not stoop to using them; even if we wanted to defeat your tiger clan, we would do so openly and honorably on the battlefield."

"As the leader of the righteous path and the foremost sect of Dongzhou, do you think we're the same as the Luo Xia Sect?"

"Victories obtained through such despicable means, the Dao Yi Sect would not deign to accept; the Heihu Yaowang and Xuehu Yaowang, I, as an old man, still look down upon them."

Truly emanating righteousness, bearing the demeanor of a high-minded master, Zhi Hu Yaowang was left dazed by Hong Zun's words, for a moment unable to gauge his intentions.

Does Hong Zun really intend to release the demons?

Upon further thought, Hong Zun's words do make some sense; the Dao Yi Sect is powerful and highly prestigious, so there's indeed no need to do this.

Furthermore, if Hong Zun really had some scheme, how could he possibly have saved the lives of the Heihu and Xuehu? He would have just let Yang Xian slay them.

Since Hong Zun could preserve the lives of the Heihu and Xuehu, he certainly isn't a despicable scoundrel like Yang Xian.

However, to be cautious, Zhi Hu Yaowang still asked.

"How can I trust you?"

In response, Hong Zun feigned anger and said.

"Whether you believe it or not, I, in good faith, have preserved the lives of your two tiger demon kings; why do I need your belief?"

"I don't mean it that way; you know what Yang Xian has done before, so I have to be careful."

"I guarantee this in the name of the Luo Xia Sect's Sect Master, Su Luoxing; is that enough?"

"Su Luoxing? Sect Master of the Luo Xia Sect? You're using his name as a guarantee? This sounds fishy."

Meanwhile, Su Luoxing, who was in the Luo Xia Sect, suddenly felt uneasy.

"What's this? Why does my heart suddenly feel fluttery? Strange."

He muttered, found nothing wrong, then shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

As for Hong Zun here, after a round of persuasion—no, after talking, they also agreed with Zhi Hu Yaowang on the exchange location.

This time, the location was chosen by Zhi Hu Yaowang, with the purpose of guarding against the human race.

Hong Zun readily agreed, which once again reduced Zhi Hu Yaowang's doubts.

Finally, Zhi Hu Yaowang said to Hong Zun.

"Hong Zun, I hope you don't act like that despicable scoundrel Yang Xian and go back on your word."

"Hah, who in Dongzhou doesn't know me, Hong Zun? I've always been a man of my word; how could I be like Yang Xian?"

"Good."

Immediately, Zhi Hu Yaowang hung up, the blood curtain vanished, and just then Ye Zhangqing, Xu Jie, and others walked in, looking at Hong Zun, Xu Jie said with a strange expression.

"Shīzūn, this seems somewhat unrighteous, doesn't it?"

Even Xu Jie thinks this is going too far; you truly don't treat the tiger clan as people.

The same method, used over and over, and frankly, it's somewhat despicable.

Hong Zun replied unhappily.

Are you sick? Who the hell would go and talk morality with ingredients?

Besides, the issue is with Luo Xia Sect; what does it have to do with my Dao Yi Sect? Tomorrow, you all change into plain clothes, cover your faces, and no matter who asks, you are Luo Xia Sect disciples.

Huh???

Hearing this, Xu Jie and the others were stunned, then all gave a thumbs up.

Shīzūn, nice move.

Hmph.

He gave an arrogant snort; Hong Zun strode off, presumably to go discuss the plan with Qing Shi and the others.

In the rear courtyard room, Yang Xian was restrained by Qing Shi and the others, constantly cursing, until Hong Zun entered and said:

I've already negotiated with the Wise Tiger Demon King; tomorrow we'll hand over, get ready, and bring another Demon King over.

As soon as he said that, Yang Xian froze, stared at Hong Zun in disbelief, took a long while to react, then cursed loudly with his eyelids twitching.

You still want to come? You want to come again? Hong Zun, are you even human?

He only came once today, and this old thing actually wants to come again; you're addicted, huh? That's the Tiger Clan Demon King—you think you're eating buns, grabbing one left and right.
