Chapter 2422: The Provocation Tactic!

Yun Zhizi and Kunpeng, here in Huoyun Cave, could also sense the changes occurring at Zhenyao Mountain.

Kunpeng frowned deeply. "What exactly is going on?"

The Hongmeng purple qi he had just gathered had been instantly scattered by the sudden pressure—this purple qi was extraordinarily difficult to collect, and Kunpeng was furious.

Yun Zhizi gazed toward the direction of Zhenyao Mountain nearby; he knew the Ten Great Beasts had stirred.

"It must be the Ten Great Beasts."

"Kunpeng, how much longer do you intend to stay here? The Ten Great Beasts have already moved. With our strength, if you agree to break away and form your own sect, many will come to join you."

Yun Zhizi had long sought to persuade Kunpeng, but Kunpeng had never listened; instead, he had pursued his own methods to gather Hongmeng purple qi.

Even to retrieve the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, they could not do so easily, for the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree is in the hands of the Emperor of Longevity.

Where the Emperor of Longevity has secluded himself to cultivate—no one knows, save Ancestor Minghe and Taishang Laojun.

Luo Fu should know, but Luo Fu would never tell them, nor would he tell the Witch Clan.

The Emperor of Longevity once saved Luo Fu; Luo Fu would never allow anything to happen to him—that is Luo Fu's promise, to guard him until his emergence.

Kunpeng said: "Give me just one of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree or the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram. Show me proof you possess either, and I will follow you."

Yun Zhizi truly did not know what to say—if he could obtain the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree or the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram, why would he come to Kunpeng?

He could simply raise his arm and command all to follow him.

The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree can replicate any magic treasure in the Honghuang—any tool Yun Zhizi has ever heard of, if he silently thinks of it, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree can reproduce.

Even the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram can effortlessly kill any Da Luo Jinxian.

Both are heavenly-defying magic treasures; in the Honghuang, seekers have searched for them for over ten thousand years, yet found nothing—only rumors and shadows.

Yet the cultivators of the Honghuang believe in them utterly, spending their entire lives seeking these two magic treasures.

Yun Zhizi himself had now fallen into this madness.

Kunpeng knew he could not persuade him; he could only find a way to leave Yun Zhizi—but first, he must gather the Hongmeng purple qi within Huoyun Cave.

He had gathered only a portion, but that portion had been entirely scattered by the earlier tremor, forcing him to collect it again—hence his fury.

Yun Zhizi sneered: "Kunpeng, then remain forever a coward in Huoyun Cave!"

"Where you fall, rise again—everyone understands this, but you, Kunpeng, never do. You are a coward; you will never defeat Hongyun!"

Kunpeng knew Yun Zhizi was using the provocation tactic, and though he understood it inwardly, his face still darkened.

Hongyun's matter was Kunpeng's deepest pain—everyone knew it; it had become common knowledge throughout the Honghuang.

"Shut up!"

"Get out."

Kunpeng gave Yun Zhizi not a single good look, blasted him out, and slammed shut the gates of Huoyun Cave. Yun Zhizi cursed outside, but did not leave—he needed to shout Kunpeng awake.
