Chapter 745: Knowing too much is not good for you

~7 min read 1,304 words

Small chairs, small tables, melon seeds, fine wine, spiritual tea—the supplies are pretty complete.

Snacking comfortably on melon seeds, Qi Xiong glanced at Ye Zhangqing, who was flanked on both sides, and smiled.

Changqing Xiaozi, your five-spice melon seeds are great—perfect with drinks.

Exactly, from now on we won't lack side dishes for drinks.

These melon seeds were naturally also prepared by Ye Zhangqing, though they were just a simple snack; nevertheless, everyone ate them with great enjoyment.

Especially Hong Zun, this old drunkard, snacking on melon seeds while drinking fine wine, enjoying himself immensely.

Hearing the idle chatter of the crowd, the cultivators who had rushed over in a hurry, after a moment of stunned silence, were all speechless facing each other, but then suddenly they thought of a question.

Holy shit, all the people from the upper sect are here, so who is fighting the Qingtian Holy Land right now?

I thought the battle would be fierce, but damn it, including Yu Mo, not a single person from the Dao Yi Sect lifted a hand.

He quickly looked up and saw a group of masked people fighting intensely with the Qingtian Holy Land's people.

Even though they couldn't see their faces, the cultivators still quickly recognized their identities.

"Cloud Mushroom Holy Land and Jade Pool Holy Land?"

In an instant, everyone's expressions turned strange—what is going on? Why are the Three Holy Lands fighting each other?

Moreover, why are the people of the Cloud Mushroom Holy Land and Jade Pool Holy Land masked? Is that necessary? It's as if they think no one would recognize them.

Even they have recognized them, let alone the Qingtian Holy Land's people, who had long ago seen through their identities.

"You're crazy, why are you attacking us?"

"Do you know me?"

"Nonsense, you're using the Cloud Mushroom Holy Land's signature technique—how could I not recognize it?"

"Oh oh, sorry, I was careless."

"I fucking......"

Listen to what this bunch of bastards are saying, and yet you were careless—are you treating them like idiots?

Instantly, a feeling of being humiliated arose.

But right now, what we should figure out is what madness has possessed the Cloud Mushroom Holy Land and Jade Pool Holy Land—how they suddenly attacked out of nowhere.

Moreover, they're going all out, showing no intention of holding back.

The most depressed is the Qingtian Holy Lord—facing the combined siege of the Cloud Mushroom Holy Lord and Jade Pool Holy Lord, the Qingtian Holy Lord is naturally no match.

What's even more infuriating is that these two bastards have even taken precautions against his life-saving treasures.

He wanted to escape using the Teleportation Array Disk, but both of them had taken precautions.

Thus the Qingtian Holy Lord had no recourse.

"Have you gone crazy enough? What the hell is going on?"

The Qingtian Holy Lord couldn't help but continue shouting angrily.

I haven't provoked them either; lately there's been no conflict among the Three Holy Lands, yet they suddenly attacked me—I simply can't understand it.

"Knowing too much is no good for you; just go peacefully."

The Jade Pool Holy Lord said lightly, his attacks becoming even more fierce.

Seeing that they were truly intent on not stopping until he was dead, the Qingtian Holy Lord was completely bewildered—why?

As for the cultivators below, they had already been dumbstruck.

This damn thing is not according to the plan—why did it end up as a battle among the Three Holy Lands?

Shouldn't the Dao Yi Sect have personally intervened? And even swapped people?

"That upper sect, this is................"

A holy being couldn't suppress their curiosity, spoke up to ask Qi Xiong and the others; hearing this, Qi Xiong gave a bland reply.

"They volunteered."

Huh???

Upon hearing that, the cultivators became even more dazed—is there really such a thing as volunteering? Have the brains of those two Holy Lands' people gone wet?

But as things stand, the Dao Yi Sect indeed has no intention of intervening at all; as for the people of the two Holy Lands, they are fighting desperately, sometimes even trading wounds for wounds, just hoping to slay the enemy as quickly as possible.

How did the developments become so weird anyway? Anyway, the cultivators are feeling numb—this is nothing like what they imagined.

But now they can't help at all, so they can only look on, puzzled.

The two Holy Lands' forces jointly besieged them; the Qingtian Holy Land indeed couldn't resist, being outnumbered.

Moreover, as Holy Land elders, none of them are weak in strength.

Thus, the numerical advantage erupted fully at this moment.

As time passed, the first Great Saint Elder of the Qingtian Holy Land was slain.

With the elder's death, everyone present froze, brows furrowed—especially the Qingtian Holy Land, which no longer harbored any illusions.

After all, they've started killing people—how could this still be a joke?

The Qingtian Holy Lord's eyes nearly burst, his gaze blood-red as he stared at the Cloud Mushroom Holy Lord and Jade Pool Holy Lord, roaring madly.

"What do you mean—do you really want to go to war with my Qingtian Holy Land?"

This is absolutely not something that can be cleared up by a misunderstanding or a couple of sentences.

Killing a chief elder is absolutely something the Qingtian Holy Land cannot tolerate.

But the Cloud Mushroom Holy Lord and Jade Pool Holy Lord had no intention of replying; their coordinated attacks only grew more ferocious.

And the Qingtian Holy Lord, facing this situation, truly began to fight with his life on the line.

Having fought to this point, how could he still fail to see that these two are clearly out for his life?

He just couldn't figure out why the Jade Pool Holy Lord and Cloud Mushroom Holy Lord would attack him.

This isn't right—could it be..................

He absentmindedly saw the Dao Yi Sect folks below, leisurely cracking melon seeds and drinking fine wine, looking extremely pleased, and the Heaven-Supporting Shèngzhǔ instantly had a suspicion.

Could it be because of the Dao Yi Sect?

The more he thought about it, the more it seemed right—surely it was the Dao Yi Sect; otherwise, the two great holy lands wouldn't be acting so strangely.

"Dao Yi Sect, is that all you know—these despicable, shameless tactics?"

He let out a roar, still happily munching on melon seeds, never expecting that this pot would end up on his own head.

This really has nothing to do with my Dao Yi Sect—clearly they demanded it themselves, it's not our idea.

Besides, even though they were dealing with a dying person, the Dao Yi Sect folks had no intention of paying attention; mainly, these five‑spice melon seeds are just too tasty.

Moreover, once you eat one, you can't help wanting a second—you simply can't stop.

"Damn it, I knew it was you—Yu Mo, Qi Xiong. You just wait; I will never let the Dao Yi Sect off the hook."

"You can talk after you manage to get out."

The Jade Pool Shèngzhǔ said lightly, excitement flashing in her eyes.

If they could just kill the Heaven-Supporting Shèngzhǔ, they'd get to eat Demon Emperor meat—just thinking about it makes one's mouth water; even ordinary ingredients are already this perfect, making one reluctant to part with them.

It's hard to imagine what sparks would fly if the Demon Emperor's ingredients ended up in Ye Zhangqing's hands.

No matter how you put it, this Demon Emperor feast—she, the Jade Pool Shèngzhǔ, has already decided to eat it, and no one can stop her.

And the Heaven-Supporting Shèngzhǔ is the ticket to this feast, so her attacks are growing ever more ruthless, and the Heaven-Supporting Shèngzhǔ certainly feels the killer intent and determination coming from the other side.

This just makes him want to cry but have no tears.
