Chapter 390

After sealing Moon Tiger's cultivation and handing it over to Black Tiger, Hong Zun and the others left.

At that time, Moon Tiger still hadn't sensed the danger, until Black Tiger approached with a grim, strange laugh, and only then did Moon Tiger realize something was wrong, speaking in a cold voice.

"Black Tiger, what are you trying to do?"

Back when they were in Huling, although Black Tiger was also one of the Tiger Kings, among the Tiger Kings it held the lowest status, and Moon Tiger had always looked down on it.

Still acting high and mighty, Black Tiger gave a cold snort in response.

"What are you doing? Obviously doing what needs to be done."

Saying that, he already grabbed Moon Tiger in one hand; although Moon Tiger struggled desperately, its cultivation was sealed, so naturally it was no match for Black Tiger.

At this moment, Moon Tiger grew somewhat panicked, roaring angrily again and again.

"Let go, Patterned Tiger won't let you off."

"Hey, whether it lets me go or not, what does it matter?"

"You......"

"Save your breath, this guy has long since betrayed us; he's no longer a Tiger King of our clan."

The Blood Tiger beside him snarled, having already given up resistance—after all, its cultivation was sealed, so struggling was useless.

"Not bad, I, Black Tiger, am now the guardian spirit beast of Divine Sword Peak of the Dao Yi Sect."

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

Moon Tiger stared at Black Tiger in disbelief, then glanced at the White Tiger Demon King and Blood Tiger Demon King, whose bellies were already slightly swollen.

"What the hell is going on? Why have the White Tiger and Blood Tiger become pregnant?"

"Black Tiger, you're courting death—if this gets back to Huling, you'll die without a burial place."

"The White Tiger is the white moonlight of many male Tiger Kings, and now it's been taken by Black Tiger...... If those Tiger Kings found out, Black Tiger would surely die."

"But Black Tiger obviously doesn't care about that."

"So be it—if you have the ability, come to the Dao Yi Sect and kill me."

Saying that, he yanked Moon Tiger over and gave a cold laugh.

"I remember that Patterned Tiger always looked down on me before, but now, hehe............"

"You...... what are you trying to do.........."

That day, the courtyard where Black Tiger and the others resided continually echoed with tiger roars and angry howls.

After staying another roughly five days at Zhongqing Mountain, the group finally set out again, heading southward.

Capture Dragon and his companions didn't leave either; they clung on and stayed behind.

Upon learning that Bai Hua Xianzi had become Ye Zhangqing's dao partner, Capture Dragon also gave a thumbs-up and exclaimed.

"You kid are impressive—you even managed to win over Senior Sister Bai Hua."

"But under Bai Hua Xianzi's gentle gaze, he quickly shut his mouth."

Continuing onward, this time the group's destination was the southern rainforest to the south.

After that, they could detour back to the Dao Yi Sect.

They leisurely strolled for several days without hurry, and it was during this period that Huling declared war on the Luo Xia Sect.

It demanded that the Luo Xia Sect hand over the White Tiger, Blood Tiger, and Moon Tiger Demon Kings, or else it would be an endless feud with the Luo Xia Sect.

Inside the Luo Xia Sect, in the main hall, all of the sect's experts gathered together; dozens of Saints had grim expressions, some having been interrupted in their secluded cultivation and just emerged.

Unaware of external affairs, at this moment someone turned to Su Luoxing seated above and said.

"Senior Brother, I think it's unwise to go to war with Huling right now; the Dao Yi Sect, Huang Ji Sect, and Qing Yun Sect have shown no stance, clearly meaning they want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

"If we go to war with Huling, we'll only end up both losing, giving others an easy advantage."

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Su Luoxing's face darkened; hearing it, that elder hesitated a moment, then replied.

"It would be better to return the White Tiger Demon King and the others; although they are three Demon Kings, fighting Huling over them is truly not worth it."

This elder had just emerged from seclusion and knew nothing of outside events, assuming the White Tiger Demon King and the others were indeed in the Luo Xia Sect's hands.

Moreover, the several other elders who had just come out of seclusion, upon hearing this, also echoed in agreement.

"Not bad; please, Senior Brother, give it more thought."

"Yes, Senior Brother, waging war on Huling now is meaningless."

"Please, Senior Brother, give it more thought."

Faced with the elders' persuasion, Su Luoxing's expression grew ever uglier, almost roaring in a fury.

"I've already said it before—damn it, the White Tiger Demon King and the others are not in my hands."

"Senior Brother, three Demon Kings aren't worth it."

"Yeah, even keeping them would be pointless."

"But it's obvious they don't believe it—if they're not in your hands, why would Huling declare war on the Luo Xia Sect, or pursue an endless feud? That makes no sense."

"Damn it, are you lot not understanding what I'm saying?"

"They just think Su Luoxing doesn't want to release the demons, so he's deliberately hiding them."

Faced with the elders' insistence, Su Luoxing gritted his teeth in anger, while Yu Li, Yang Xian, and the other elders who knew the inside story looked at Su Luoxing with complex expressions.

"In short, as this series of events unfolded, Su Luoxing's prestige in the Luo Xia Sect has plummeted repeatedly, and now many have begun to doubt him."

"Naturally, Su Luoxing is aware of this, but there's nothing he can do."

"The demons aren't in his hands—how could he release them? He can't just conjure them out of thin air."

"As for contacting the Dao Yi Sect, he's tried before, but now Qi Xiong completely ignores him—what can he do?"

"Damn it, believe me—I really didn't capture the White Tiger Demon King and the others; the demons are in the hands of the Dao Yi Sect."

"Then why is the Tiger Clan declaring war on us?"

How the hell would I know?

He is also strange; this tiger clan is just sick, clearly knowing that the White Tiger Demon King is in the hands of the Dao Yi Sect, yet they don't go to the Dao Yi Sect but come to his Luo Xia Sect for what?

This matter is full of strangeness everywhere, but now Su Luoxing insists that the demon is not in the hands of the Luo Xia Sect; the elders present exchange glances, and finally someone says:

Why not contact the Dao Yi Sect, discuss with them releasing the demon, or lend a hand?

I think it's fine, Shī xiōng, let's contact Qi Zongzhu.

Yeah, we know you and Qi Xiong are on bad terms, but now is a critical moment; Shī xiōng, you can't hold a grudge.

I.................

Everyone again had Su Luoxing contact Qi Xiong; regarding this, Su Luoxing no longer wanted to explain.

Is it that he won't contact? It's that they simply ignore him.

But seeing Su Luoxing like this, everyone still thought he was unwilling, and immediately spoke up to persuade him.

Feeling utterly exhausted, in the end, Su Luoxing, in front of everyone present, took out the Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán and contacted Qi Xiong.

Anyway, you won't believe me no matter what I say; I'll let you see for yourselves whether I'm not contacting or simply can't get through.

Just like before, there was no response at all; Su Luoxing looked at the people present and said:

You all saw that? It's Qi Xiong who's been avoiding me.

Seeing this, the elders furrowed their brows slightly, and then someone took out the Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán and said:

I'll contact Wu Shou.

Everyone is a Shèngjìng powerhouse; normally they have contact, and now someone suggested contacting the Grand Elder Wu Shou of the Dao Yi Sect.

Seeing this, the others also nodded.

This time, the Formation was quickly connected, and Wu Shou's figure appeared within the Formation Light Curtain.

What's up, Fellow Daoist Chen?

He said with a smile; hearing this, the Chen-surnamed elder also laughed and said:

Sorry to disturb you, Fellow Daoist Wu; this contact is mainly regarding the matter of Huling.
