Chapter 392: Too Much of a Good Thing

Watching Elder Chen's embarrassed look, Su Luoxing coldly laughed.

How about it, junior brother? Do you finally believe what I said now? Things aren't that simple.

No, we should go find Hong Zun and have him hand over the White Tiger Demon King.

Elder Chen still felt unwilling; seeing this, Su Luoxing smiled.

Junior brother, just try and you'll know.

Looking for Hong Zun? Hah, that's just a joke.

However, Elder Chen didn't know these things; he contacted Hong Zun again, and this time the formation took a long time to connect, and as soon as it did he heard Hong Zun's roar.

What are you doing?

Can't I even give you a quick kiss?

Wang Tieshu, I'm telling you one last time: don't get near me.

We're already together.............

Get lost.

He then turned his head, looked at Elder Chen, his expression grim and tone unfriendly, and said.

What's up again?

In a bad mood, his attitude naturally wasn't good either; seeing this, Elder Chen hurriedly told Hong Zun his request.

After hearing Elder Chen's words, Hong Zun narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen as if he were an idiot.

Are you sick? Why should I give you the demon king I caught?

No, Daoist Friend Hong Zun, you clearly......

When the Huling Tiger Tribe comes to demand it, that's justified—after all, it's their Tiger Tribe's demon king—but why are you, the Luo Xia Sect, demanding it? Are you just openly seizing it?

If you want to release the demon, let the Tiger Tribe come themselves—just like that.

After saying that, Hong Zun hung up the formation, and Elder Chen, fuming, directly crushed the Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán in his hand.

On one side they want to retrieve their own demon king; on the other, they insist the Tiger Tribe personally handle the handover.

Damn, this was originally a simple matter—just have the Tiger Tribe go find Hong Zun and be done with it—now why is it so complicated? Why must you drag the Luo Xia Sect into the middle?

Watching Chen's face flush then pale, Su Luoxing on the main seat felt immensely satisfied, making you ignore my words.

Immediately, Su Luoxing spoke, his tone much more confident.

Everyone understands the current situation, right? The Tiger Tribe has declared war; it's not as simple as it seems on the surface, and this war is unavoidable for us.

This time, no one objected to Su Luoxing anymore, after all the facts were right before their eyes.

Yet everyone still felt strange: why doesn't the Tiger Tribe just go directly to Hong Zun to demand the person? Why must they drag the Luo Xia Sect into it?

They couldn't figure it out, but with the battle imminent, they needed to prepare in advance.

Afterwards Su Luoxing issued a series of orders; having been sect master for so many years, he obviously possessed some real ability.

As for dealing with the war, he could be described as quite shrewd.

In matters not involving the Dao Yi Sect and Qi Xiong, Su Luoxing remained quite capable.

But as soon as it involved Qi Xiong and the Dao Yi Sect, for some reason this guy fell apart, his anger instantly taking over, leading him to do many things incomprehensible to others.

Under Su Luoxing's arrangements, the entire Luo Xia Sect sprang into action; as one of the Four Great Sects of Dongzhou, its strength should not be underestimated.

At the same time, the Qing Yun Sect, Huang Ji Sect, and Dao Yi Sect naturally also knew that the Huling Tiger Tribe had declared war on the Luo Xia Sect.

At this moment, none of the three sects expressed any intention to send aid to the Luo Xia Sect.

Their meaning was already simple: to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

As long as it's not a great war concerning the survival of the Human Race, the major sects are actually quite happy to see this scene.

After all, when one declines another rises; if the Tiger Tribe could cripple the Luo Xia Sect, the other sects could then divide its territory and resources among themselves.

Within the Qing Yun Sect, the Qing Yun Sect Master said lightly.

"Watch and wait, don't get involved in the war; if the Tiger Tribe's target is only the Luo Xia Sect, then let them fight."

"Yes."

The Huang Ji Sect likewise held the same attitude.

Conversely, within the Dao Yi Sect, Qi Xiong still hesitated—whether to go support the Luo Xia Sect or to guard against other demon beast clans suddenly attacking at this time.

What they most needed to guard against right now was Yuan Mountain.

After all, Yuan Mountain is not far from the Luo Xia Sect; if Yuan Mountain suddenly moved, the situation would be completely different, and the Luo Xia Sect would likely be utterly destroyed.

Cripple the Luo Xia Sect, and everyone could accept that; but if you wanted to outright annihilate the Luo Xia Sect, that would definitely be unacceptable—it would amount to breaking the internal balance of the Human Race.

At this moment in the main hall, Qi Xiong and Wu Shou were discussing this matter, while Juexin, Jueming, and other strong ones from Putuo Temple were also present.

Since they had already become vassals of the Dao Yi Sect, and it was no secret, their presence posed no problem.

"Yuan Mountain has always been a threat."

Upon hearing Qi Xiong's words, Juexin's turbid old eyes shifted.

Now, Benefactor Ye Changqing and his group are at San Sheng Shi; following what Benefactor Ye Changqing said earlier, heading south all the way, they will inevitably pass through Yuan Mountain.

Good.

Immediately, Juexin stood up and said to Qi Xiong.

"Sect Master Qi, Putuo Temple is willing to garrison Yuan Mountain as a precaution."

Huh???

Still thinking about who to send to keep an eye on Yuan Mountain's vicinity, I never expected Juexin to volunteer himself.

Having just become a vassal of the Dao Yi Sect, he's this eager? For a moment Qi Xiong didn't know what to make of it.

This Putuo Temple is acting rather oddly; even the request they put forward is extremely strange.

There's only one thing: construct a teleportation formation on Divine Sword Peak; aside from that, everything else is negotiable.

Isn't this fucking something that came knocking on the door?

Looking at Juexin's firm expression, Qi Xiong said somewhat suspiciously.

"Juexin Abbot you.............."

"Since we are vassals of the Dao Yi Sect, we naturally need to relieve the worries and solve the difficulties of the superior sect. Juexin intends to lead the entire Putuo Temple to garrison Yuan Mountain, to charge ahead for the superior sect."

Upon hearing those words, Qi Xiong felt somewhat moved for a moment.

Wu Shou beside him felt the same.

Under Juexin's strong insistence, Qi Xiong eventually agreed. With Putuo Temple there, it should be fine—at least it bought the Dao Yi Sect some time to react.

Afterward, Juexin led people away, but as they left, I don't know if it was an illusion—Qi Xiong always felt that these old monks each looked excited, their steps noticeably lighter.

"What are they excited about?"

He turned his head with a strange look toward Wu Shou; seeing that, Wu Shou shook his head, indicating he didn't know.

What's there to be excited about guarding Yuan Mountain? This fucking is a miserable task.

"I always feel that the people of Putuo Temple are somewhat off, but I can't put my finger on it."

"What do you mean, Shī xiōng?"

"It's too good."

Hearing that, Wu Shou's mouth twitched. Because it was too good, he was instead somewhat unaccustomed—which is understandable, given that his previous relationship with the Fomen was not exactly hostile, but they were certainly not allies.

But in the blink of an eye, Putuo Temple's attitude underwent a complete 180-degree turn.

This really left Qi Xiong feeling somewhat unaccustomed.

The Human Race was paying attention to the battle between Huling and the Luo Xia Sect, and the Demon Race naturally did the same.

At this point, the Tiger Race had already begun gathering demon beasts, preparing to attack the Luo Xia Sect, but just then, the Yuan Wisdom Demon King from Yuan Mountain made contact with Bahu.

"Bahu, Clan Chief."
