Chapter 616: My little tiger
I never expected this stupid tiger to still have such fortune, inheriting the legacy of a tiger clan great emperor.
Not only did it cause its cultivation to skyrocket, but it also looks extremely fitting.
But the situation right now isn't looking good.
Although the Killing Tiger dodges left and right, the Great Saints seem unable to do anything about it, but this won't last long.
The cultivation gap isn't that easy to bridge, and what's more, facing so many Great Saints, even a demon emperor...
At this moment, the Killing Tiger is indeed suffering terribly; if not for being in the emperor's tomb, relying on the inheritance it obtained and its own bloodline divine ability, it would have been confident of escaping.
But the emperor's tomb is filled with the residual power of the great emperor, suppressing its bloodline divine ability completely, leaving it no way to use it, which is why it ended up like this.
Seeing that it could hardly hold on any longer, the Killing Tiger suddenly spotted the Dao Yi Sect members not far away.
It naturally knew Qi Xiong and the others; gritting its teeth, it shouted loudly.
"Master, save me.........."
"Huh???"
That angry shout made everyone around startled; "Master?" Could this guy be some faction's spirit pet?
Following the Killing Tiger's gaze, everyone locked onto the Dao Yi Sect group; just now it was shouting at the Dao Yi Sect, right?
Not to mention them, even the Dao Yi Sect themselves were a bit confused; what's going on with this stupid tiger?
"Is it asking for help?"
Or maybe Ye Zhangqing was the first to react, speaking dubiously; hearing that, Xu Jie beside him nodded.
"Probably."
"Then should we save it or not? It possesses the inheritance of a great emperor."
Saving the Killing Tiger will surely upset the Three Holy Lands, but for the Dao Yi Sect, it's not really a problem.
Besides, aside from the Yunluo Holy Land, the Undying Holy Land and the Tianlong Holy Land have no goodwill toward the Dao Yi Sect.
Especially the Tianlong Holy Land, they've already killed four of their Great Saints; offending them a bit more now seems nothing—more mosquitoes don't make one fear bites.
Thinking this over, everyone instantly made a decision; Qi Xiong immediately stood up and said.
"Everyone, why are you surrounding and beating my little tiger?"
As soon as he said that, the Great Saints of the Three Holy Lands were stunned and immediately halted their attacks.
Seeing this, the Killing Tiger also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, just about to look for a chance to flee, but Yu Mo stepped forward first, grabbed its neck, and laughed.
"I told you not to run around; look how dangerous it is."
"I.......... this.........."
The Killing Tiger naturally wasn't truly submitting to the Dao Yi Sect, but now being controlled by Yu Mo and unable to use its bloodline divine ability, it immediately slumped.
With the Dao Yi Sect's intervention, the faces of the Three Holy Lands' people indeed looked bad, especially the sole remaining demon emperor of the Tianlong Holy Land.
"What do you mean, Dao Yi Sect?"
He said, eyes full of anger.
"Nothing much, I can't just watch my little tiger be beaten to death by you guys."
"You say it is, then it is?"
"Or isn't it?"
"You...... this thief stole the great emperor's inheritance, and you Dao Yi Sect want to protect it?"
Watching the great emperor's inheritance slip away before their eyes, the Tianlong Holy Land's demon emperor naturally wasn't willing to accept it.
But Qi Xiong also showed no fear, speaking with an indifferent expression.
"How can you call that stealing when you say this? Opportunities in the world go to those with fate; my little tiger obtained the great emperor's inheritance, showing that this fate belongs to it, while you can only say you had fate but no chance."
"You................"
Seeing that Qi Xiong showed no sign of backing down, the Tianlong Holy Land's Great Saint flew into a rage.
However, being just one person, it dared not act against the many Dao Yi Sect members, so it could only look toward the White Bone Holy Land and the Yunluo Holy Land.
"What about you—are you just going to watch this inheritance fall into others' hands?"
Hoping to rope in the other two Holy Lands to jointly pressure the Dao Yi Sect.
But its calculation clearly missed the mark; the Undying Holy Land had not yet responded, while on the Yunluo Holy Land side, Li Zhengqing spoke up.
"I actually think Sect Master Qi is right; opportunities in the world have their own fixed numbers."
Li Zhengqing's words left no doubt that he was siding with the Dao Yi Sect.
Other Yunluo Holy Land powerhouses were somewhat puzzled by this, but Li Zhengqing merely gave them a slight nod.
As a human holy land, at this time they definitely ought to side with humanity.
The situation in Zhongzhou is more complicated compared to the other four continents.
The races are opposed, each hoping to gain more resources; thus, most of the time, the major races avoid internal conflict and present a united front outward—only thus can they survive in Zhongzhou's harsh environment.
With the Yunluo Holy Land's backing, the Undying Holy Land side hesitated for a moment.
First, the Yunluo Holy Land and the Dao Yi Sect are clearly stronger.
Meanwhile, the Tianlong Holy Land side has only a single demon emperor, and even a fool can see the situation clearly.
So the Undying Holy Land directly chose silence.
Faced with this result, the Tianlong Holy Land's Great Saint's face turned livid, his body trembling with anger.
Before its eyes lay the great emperor's inheritance, yet it had been obtained by a stupid tiger—how could it accept that?
"Hmph, I want to see how long your Dao Yi Sect can protect it."
"For now our strength is inferior, but now that we know where the inheritance went, later we have plenty of ways to make the Dao Yi Sect bow."
"Let's see how long the Dao Yi Sect can keep this stupid tiger."
Having said that, the demon emperor turned and left, not noticing that Qi Xiong and the others had a flash of killing intent in their eyes—it seemed they really couldn't let him go.
The inheritance was gone, and though everyone felt disappointed, they could only search for other treasures.
After all, even the Tianlong Holy Land and the Baigu Holy Land tacitly accept this; what ability do they have to seize it from the Dao Yi Sect?
There was nothing else of value in the main hall; soon, everyone dispersed and began searching elsewhere.
As for the Yunluo Holy Land side, a Great Saint approached Li Zhengqing and asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Why did you just speak up for the Dao Yi Sect? That is the Great Emperor's inheritance."
Hearing this, Li Zhengqing replied calmly.
"Do you think it would be better for this inheritance to fall into the hands of our Human Race, or into those of the Tianlong Holy Land?"
"This.................."
Does this answer even need thought? If the Tianlong Holy Land were to obtain a Great Emperor's inheritance, especially if a Demon Emperor obtained it, it would likely give the Tianlong Holy Land another Demon Emperor.
This is not good news for the Yunluo Holy Land, nor for the entire Human Race.
Thus, it seems that having the inheritance fall into the hands of the Dao Yi Sect would be a better outcome.
Of course, Li Zhengqing would not tell everyone, nor would he admit that he still wanted to eat a few more meals.
The food of the Dao Yi Sect is simply irresistible.
"Was that the way we just came?"
"Exactly."
On the other side, the Dao Yi Sect also left the main hall, heading all the way in the direction of that Demon Emperor from the Tianlong Holy Land just now.
Yuan Cang and Wang Man even stepped forward first, intending to block that Demon Emperor's path.
