Chapter 56: The Sharp Edge Gradually Reveals Itself

"Boom!"

Under the gazes of Mengchen, Heizi, and the Tianhu girl, the bear child simply lifted his hand slightly, then performed a violent takedown, pinning the opponent under his foot, and said coldly: "You scared away my fish, so I'm taking you to the pot."

As he spoke, just as the bear child was about to act.

"Swoosh!"

A river of emerald Runes swept over in an instant, forcing him to retreat into the vastness, followed by a cold shout.

"Audacious! Daring to hurt my Qingteng's grandson, I want you dead."

The person who arrived was an old man; he also had emerald hair, his beard was also emerald, and he wore emerald-colored clothing—in short, apart from his skin color resembling a human's, everything else was entirely emerald.

His aura was incomparably terrifying; he was undoubtedly a Venerable.

"Venerable Qingteng, please show mercy." At this moment, Venerable Yun hurriedly blocked the path in front of the little bear child.

"Hmph! Venerable Yun, you saw it too, how he hurt my grandson." Venerable Qingteng snorted coldly.

"This young Supreme is someone I spent great effort to invite; he plays a crucial role in our voyage to the sea this time. If you don't want to obtain the Kunpeng divine treasure, please don't hinder us." Venerable Yun did not show weakness either, expressing clearly in his words that he was determined to protect the bear child.

"Ah..."

Just at this moment, a screech shook the sky, and another terrifying existence descended.

He wore green robes, had a full face of white whiskers, and his expression was quite dignified.

"Indeed! Venerable Qingteng, please stay calm. Whatever the matter, please wait until after our journey is over. At that time, I, Qingtian, will certainly not intervene."

The person who arrived was also a Venerable of this Ancient Sacred Mountain, named Qingtian.

Now that two great Venerables had stated their positions, if he were to continue pestering, he feared it would incite public anger, and at that point, many more people might jump out, so Venerable Qingteng had no choice but to bury this grudge in his heart for now, waiting until after the sea voyage to settle the account with him.

Thus, he said righteously: "Fine! Venerable Qingtian, Venerable Yun, this time I will give you both this face."

Following this, Venerable Qingteng turned his gaze toward Mengchen and said: "This little bald guy, I can at least deal with him, right? I originally came here to settle accounts with him."

Hearing this, Mengchen instantly turned solemn; could it be that he wasn't targeting the bear child, but had changed his mind to attack him instead?

Heizi, held in Mengchen's arms, also perked up, his gaze turning cold and stern, already prepared to stand or fall with Mengchen.

However, the Tianhu girl at his side retreated to the side with a playful expression, choosing to watch from the sidelines.

"Him? If you dare, you are welcome to try." Venerable Yun smiled faintly, then added in a sarcastic tone: "Venerable Qingteng, don't blame me for not warning you; he is a disciple of a certain supreme sect from outside the domain, and he is also an opener of ten Cave Heavens. If that great sect learns that their prized disciple met with misfortune in your hands, I fear your entire clan would..."

Upon hearing Venerable Yun's words, Venerable Qingtian looked toward Mengchen. After a moment of scrutiny, he seemed to recognize his origin and murmured in astonishment: "Could he be from the Xuanyu..."

"Correct!" Venerable Yun nodded slightly.

Having received confirmation from Venerable Yun, the gaze Venerable Qingtian cast upon Mengchen became gentle, and he revealed a faint smile.

Hearing the words of the two and seeing Venerable Qingtian's current demeanor, Venerable Qingteng fell silent, and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

Finally, to ease the awkwardness, Venerable Qingteng said in a slightly deep voice: "Forget it, this Venerable will not haggle with a junior; let this matter end here!"

Seeing this, Venerable Yun and Venerable Qingtian revealed meaningful smiles.

Seeing this, Mengchen secretly let out a breath and murmured to himself: "I didn't expect the Western Sect to have such a deterrent power here in Huangyu."

He understood that Venerable Yun was helping him indirectly, so a trace of goodwill toward him rose in Mengchen's heart.

Afterward, he cast a cold glance at the Heavenly Fox girl to the side; this Fox Spirit probably wished he would be slapped to death by Venerable Qingteng. Seeing this, the Heavenly Fox girl awkwardly twisted her exquisite body as she approached, pouting at Mengchen and batting her alluring eyes continuously.

Mengchen glanced at her once, left her coldly ignored, and paid her no mind.

In an instant, a girl in purple walked toward this side.

Her purple robes fluttered, her pretty face was as white as jade, and her bright eyes flashed with astonishing divine radiance. She appeared light and ethereal, with holy brilliance falling upon her, as detached from the world as a Moon Goddess.

Seeing this, Mengchen recognized her immediately; she was the granddaughter of Venerable Yun, and he had had quite a few misunderstandings with her back in Xushen Jie.

Mengchen smiled and greeted: "Hey! Demoness! Long time no see!"

At the same time, the bear child on the other side also shouted loudly, "Hi! Fierce Beast, you, this Fierce Beast girl fatty, have grown even fatter!"

Hearing this, the three Venerables were shocked and scanned back and forth between the two; it was truly a great mystery how they could see a "Demoness" and a "Fierce Beast."

The Tianhu girl had already experienced Mengchen's antics; even now, she was still being called "Fox Spirit" by him every other word. Thus, the Tianhu girl's shock was directed solely at the bear child.

The term "Fierce Beast" almost made her burst out laughing; furthermore, such a slim little beauty was called a "fatty" in his mouth—it was truly inconceivable. For a moment, the Tianhu girl's attention toward the bear child increased instantly.

Hearing their words, the girl in purple had black lines all over her forehead. She opened her mouth, ready to start scolding, but held it back.

Haggling with these two was a challenge to her own self-restraint; the dead bald guy was purely blind, and the bear child's aesthetic sense was seriously flawed—there was simply no talking to them.

A look of suspicion appeared on the bear child's delicate face as he asked: "Fierce Beast, why don't you respond when I greet you? Do you know that's very impolite?"

"So, you're very polite, then?" the girl in purple asked the bear child, her smile sweet, her hair shining and reflecting light like a mirror.

"Am I not polite?" the bear child asked in surprise, his face full of doubt as if he were recalling his life.

"Polite, you're the most polite person in the whole world, happy now?" The girl in purple spoke with a relaxed smile, not bothering to argue with him further.

"Hehehe..." Mengchen chuckled and said: "Demoness, haven't seen you for a few days, you've grown even prettier!"

"Shut your mouth! You dead bald guy! No one will think you're a mute if you don't speak."

The girl in purple had endured for a long time, but finally couldn't hold it in and blurted it out.

"Hahahaha..."

Hearing this, the bear child laughed uncontrollably.

"What are you laughing at?" Mengchen cast his eyes over, his voice turning cold.

The bear child sensed the slight chill in Mengchen's words, and his laughter stopped abruptly: "Why do you care what I'm laughing at?"

Mengchen's eyes narrowed, and his brows furrowed: "No one cares what you're laughing at, but since you're laughing at this moment, I fear it has to do with me. Thinking you can make a joke of me won't be so easy."

"What, you want to fight!" The bear child did not yield an inch.

"Heh! Fine! Then let's try." Mengchen said faintly, the air thick with the smell of gunpowder.

In an instant, two powerful auras erupted from within the two, clashing head-on.

Seeking votes.
