Chapter 135: Negotiations Between the Dragon Clan and the Sect of the Cut!

East Sea.

Crystal Palace.

Wu Dang!

You really want to be an enemy of my Buddhist sect?

Looking at the not‑distant Wu Dang Shengmu and Zhao Gongming.

Puxian suppressed the anger in his heart, questioning in an icy tone.

Because he was injured by the Candle Dragon!

He had been persuading Kong Xuan, hoping Kong Xuan could suppress the Candle Dragon!

Seeing that Kong Xuan was about to act!

But the Wu Dang Shengmu and Zhao Gongming appeared!

As soon as they appeared, they made their stance clear!

The Sect of the Cut is willing to aid the Four Seas Dragon Clan, together opposing the Buddhist cultivators!

This made Puxian's anger reach its peak! He never expected the Sect of the Cut to dare intervene in this matter! After all!

After the Fengshen Calamity ended!

The experts of the Sect of the Cut suffered heavy casualties! Even the sect's saints were imprisoned in the Purple Azure Palace! Under such circumstances, where does the Sect of the Cut get the gall to oppose the Buddhist sect? 'Puxian!'

Long time no see!

I didn't expect you to have become deaf!

Hearing Puxian's question.

Zhao Gongming gave a cold laugh and directly began to mock.

Back then!

When Puxian had not yet defected from the Sect of the Enlightenment!

Zhao Gongming and Puxian were very much at odds! Moreover, the Sect of the Cut suffered a crushing defeat in the Fengshen Calamity, and Puxian bore some responsibility for that! Therefore!

Zhao Gongming had no intention of giving Puxian any face! If it weren't for the Wu Dang Shengmu, 【she】 had already given Zhao Gongming a heads‑up earlier! At the moment of seeing Puxian, Zhao Gongming would have rushed forward and violently attacked him! 'You!'

Hearing Zhao Gongming's words.

Puxian could no longer suppress his anger, his face full of fury.

Puxian!

We should leave!

Without waiting for Puxian to say more.

Kong Xuan's voice then sounded in Puxian's ear.

In an instant! Puxian turned around in disbelief, looking at Kong Xuan beside him; he simply could not understand why Kong Xuan would want to retreat!

Could it be that Kong Xuan is afraid of the Candle Dragon and the Wu Dang Shengmu and the others? Facing Puxian's gaze.

The expression on Kong Xuan's face showed not the slightest change! Although he is the Buddhist Peacock King of Wisdom! But his process of joining the Buddhist sect was not as wonderful as imagined! He was forcibly ferried into the Buddhist sect by Zhunti!

In other words! Kong Xuan and the Buddhist sect have never been of one mind!

He doesn't mind doing some simple tasks for the Buddhist sect!

But he will absolutely not exert his utmost effort for the Buddhist sect!

Now!

Now the Dragon Clan has the aid of the Sect of the Cut! Although Kong Xuan is not afraid, he also lacks confidence in subduing the Dragon Clan!

Therefore!

Kong Xuan no longer has the intention to act!

As for his deal with Maitreya? He didn't just rescue Puxian, did he? No matter how many resources the Buddhist sect gains from this operation!

He can use the merit of rescuing Puxian to obtain a portion of those resources!

Holding this thought! Kong Xuan no longer paid attention to Puxian, turned and fled toward the location of Spirit Mountain!

Seeing this!

Puxian's expression turned anxious.

He truly did not want to leave so easily!

But he still hurriedly summoned his escape light and chased after Kong Xuan!

No way! He clearly knows his own situation! Let alone the fact that he has been wounded by the Candle Dragon right now!

Even if he were at his peak, he would not be a match for the Candle Dragon and the Wu Dang Shengmu!

If he does not follow Kong Xuan away and continues to linger here, his eventual fate will surely be miserable!

Heh!

Watching the retreating backs of Kong Xuan and Puxian.

The Candle Dragon gave a light chuckle, yet had no intention of stopping them!

Afterward.

The Candle Dragon's gaze shifted, turning toward the Wu Dang Shengmu and Zhao Gongming.

After the Wu Dang Shengmu and Zhao Gongming appeared!

The Candle Dragon has been constantly guessing their purpose!

When the Candle Dragon heard the Wu Dang Shengmu say that the Sect of the Cut is willing to aid the Dragon Clan!

The Candle Dragon now understands!

Even if the Jiejiao does not appear, relying on Zhulong's strength is enough to repel the Buddhist cultivators! Therefore, they certainly do not want Zhulong to divide part of the Four Seas' resources to the Jiejiao!"
