Chapter 740: I'll Eat the Meat, You Carry the Pot

Starting from last night, all the elders of Qingtian Holy Land were tormented by this aroma, only the Qingtian Holy Master seemed unaffected.

But nobody knew that, at this moment, the Qingtian Holy Master in the room had eyes turning red, constantly swallowing saliva while cursing angrily.

"Damn, how can this smell be so fragrant......"

All night long, the Qingtian Holy Master was almost driven mad by this fragrance.

A great emperor actually ended up drooling all night over this scent—if word got out, his face would lose all dignity.

While the Qingtian Holy Land party struggled to hold back their drool, the city lord's mansion presented quite a different scene.

People came and went, each eating with great enjoyment.

Qi Xiong, Yu Mo, Hong Zun and the others each held a big bowl, drinking porridge while eating fragrant large meat buns.

"Sniffle, Senior Brother, will this plan work?"

After biting off half a bun in one mouthful, Mo Yun spoke unclearly; hearing this, Qi Xiong likewise replied unclearly.

"No...... no problem."

"Then that's good."

Just as they were speaking, a commotion suddenly arose in the courtyard; a little old man was seen running wildly with a big bowl, while Li Zhengqing and others behind him shouted angrily.

"Holy Master, you've eaten eight bowls—enough already."

"Who said yesterday we had no prospects?"

"I didn't say that; don't bother me, I'm still not full."

This little old man was the Yunluo Holy Master; yesterday he hadn't thought much of it, but today he turned into a ravenous eater—over breakfast he downed eight bowls of porridge and ate over a hundred buns.

The cultivators stared agape—how could this old thing eat so much? They felt regret, yet they dared not compete with the Holy Master for food.

Besides the Yunluo Holy Master, the Yaochi Holy Master was no less indulgent.

Don't let her refined eating fool you—her appetite is not the slightest bit less than the Yunluo Holy Master's, and may even surpass it.

She took a dainty bite of a big bun.

With the addition of the two holy lands, many cultivators felt their hopes sink—would they ever be able to eat their fill from now on?

One by one, those of high cultivation and high status not only that, they ate a ton, leaving nothing for others.

Some cultivators had only drunk one bowl of porridge and eaten a few buns, but upon looking, the bucket was already empty.

"After all, they are holy land holy masters—what the heck......"

They wanted to cry but had no tears.

After breakfast, many cultivators were still unsatisfied, while the Yunluo Holy Master patted his belly in satisfaction, having enjoyed the meal.

"Come on, let's go negotiate; after the talks we'll come back for lunch."

Having already become infatuated with Ye Zhangqing, the Yunluo Holy Master at this moment only thought of quickly settling the demon race affair so he could return for lunch.

The Yaochi Holy Master beside him said nothing, but her expression clearly showed the same intention.

As the appointed time arrived, the Three Holy Lands and the Dao Yi Sect soon gathered at the city gate.

This time the negotiation site was set outside the Ten Thousand Demon Pass; the demon race, having grown clever, absolutely refused to enter the pass.

As Yu Mo, Qi Xiong and the others left, Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, Ye Zhangqing and the other juniors gathered together in the courtyard.

"Do you think their sect master's plan this time can succeed?"

"It should work."

"It definitely will."

"If it really succeeds, the Qingtian Holy Master will probably die of anger."

Everyone said this with smiles on their faces, and Ye Zhangqing also chatted and laughed with them.

Outside the Ten Thousand Demon Pass, Qi Xiong's group arrived at the agreed spot, where several demon emperors were already waiting.

Seeing the human side approach, the Tianlong Holy Land's demon emperor ancestor spoke first.

"Let's begin."

This time is to rescue their Tianlong Holy Land's holy master and the Chilong demon emperor; naturally, the Tianlong Holy Land is the most anxious.

Upon hearing this, the Yunluo Holy Master and Yaochi Holy Master expressed no stance, merely nodding; only the Qingtian Holy Master said lightly.

"Talking with you this time is useless, after all the Tianlong holy master and Chilong demon emperor are not in the hands of my Three Holy Lands; this grudge has a source and a debtor."

The Qingtian Holy Master's words were clearly an attempt to divert blame, aiming to draw the demon race's attention onto the Dao Yi Sect.

As expected, upon hearing this, the gazes of several demon emperors turned toward Yu Mo, Qi Xiong and the others.

Regarding this, the others made no progress; Yu Mo even stepped forward and said with a smile.

"What Qingtian Dao Friend said is correct—the Chilong demon emperor and Tianlong holy master are indeed in our hands."

"Speak, what conditions must we meet to release them?"

Hearing this, the Tianlong Holy Land's demon emperor ancestor said coldly, although he inwardly wished to kill all the Dao Yi Sect people, obviously now is not the time to act.

Even if we have to pay some price, we must first rescue the Tianlong holy master and Chilong demon emperor before discussing anything else.

What the Tianlong Holy Land's demon emperor ancestor didn't expect was that, upon hearing this, Yu Mo shook his head and refused without a moment's thought.

"Releasing them is impossible."

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, the Tianlong Holy Land's demon emperor ancestor immediately darkened his face, demonic aura surging around him, as he turned his head to speak to the Yunluo Holy Master and the two others.

"Is this your humanity's sincerity?"

"Don't misunderstand; we cannot release them because we cannot betray the painstaking effort of Qingtian Dao Friend."

"Qingtian Dao Friend, with great difficulty, used a scheme to help our Dao Yi Sect capture the Chilong demon emperor and Tianlong holy master; if we just let them go like that, wouldn't we be failing Qingtian Dao Friend's hard work? Therefore we cannot release them."

"Huh???"

When Yu Mo's words came out, the demon emperors on that side were stunned, and the Qingtian Holy Master together with the Qingtian Holy Land's Great Saint Elders were also stunned.

What the hell does this mean?

I thought to myself, 'Not good,' and as expected, in the next second the gazes of all the demon emperors fell upon the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ; the demon emperor elder from Tianlong Holy Land even shouted angrily.

"Qingtian Shèngzhǔ, it's indeed you; this emperor felt something was fishy at this moment—it was you who actively sought to join forces with the Red Dragon Demon Emperor, and it turns out you were pulling the strings behind the scenes."

"I... I didn't."

Upon hearing this, the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ panicked a bit and gave Yu Mo a fierce glare. As expected, the Dao Yi Sect is just a bunch of despicable villains—you're framing me, it's a false accusation!

The Qingtian Shèngzhǔ wanted to explain, but the demon emperor elder from Tianlong Holy Land wouldn't believe him at all.

Because, looking at the facts, it was indeed because the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ proactively contacted the Red Dragon Demon Emperor that the subsequent events occurred.

It was already impossible to explain clearly, and just then Yu Mo spoke up again.

"Qingtian Dao friend, why waste breath explaining so much to them? For this battle's great victory, we have long planned—we even staged a grand play in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains; now the demon emperor is in our hands, which can be considered a complete success."

"You... you... you...."

Upon hearing these words, the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ was utterly stunned, while the demon emperor elder from Tianlong Holy Land even jumped up, his eyes bloodshot, and said.

"Well, well, a Qingtian Shèngzhǔ— to slay my demon race's emperor, you actually laid out a plan over several months; in that case, the Dao Yi Sect taking over Wan Yao Pass is also your Qingtian Holy Land's arrangement? What a tactic, truly an eye-opener for this emperor."
