Chapter 440: Searching Both Sides
The three of them chatted for a long time before Sect Master Jin took Chen Chen Chen and bid farewell to Qing Yan.
On the way, Sect Master Jin still felt somewhat apologetic. After all, he was the one who had introduced this trip, but in the end, he didn’t gain anything.
“Fellow Daoist Tian Yun, I’ll continue to inquire about the matter regarding the spatial rift. This trip that I missed out on was mainly because of Qing Yan and me.”
Sect Master Jin said apologetically.
Chen Chen smiled and comforted him. He said that he had gone to the small world to comprehend different heavenly Daos, so he immediately scared Sect Master Jin into a daze.
..
At the same time.
In the main hall of the city Lord’s mansion in a huge city deep in the southern region, two groups of people were sitting on both sides of the hall. The atmosphere was quite solemn.
This city belonged to Heavenly Fiend City. The people in the hall wearing black robes and red-striped clothes were the devil cultivators of Heavenly Fiend City.
As for the other cultivators, they were all the overlords of the southern region, the cultivators of the Evil Fiend Hall.
“Fellow Daoist Dongfang, your Heavenly Fiend City has always dared to take responsibility. Why? Don’t you dare to admit this matter?”
The leader of the Evil Fiend Hall looked quite young, but the moment he spoke, he looked extremely old.
This person was a famous Tribulation Transcender of the Evil Fiend Hall. He was also the person in charge of all the affairs of the Evil Fiend Hall in the southern region, and his name was venerable Xie Sheng.
As for the cultivator with the surname Dong Fang, he was also a cultivator in the tribulation transcender stage. He was in charge of all the affairs of the Heavenly Demon City in the southern region. However, he had an even more prominent identity.
He was the third disciple of the heavenly demon city’s City Lord!
Faced with venerable Xie Sheng’s questioning, Dong Fang conglong smiled faintly and said, “I’ve just heard about that matter. I didn’t expect that Fellow Daoist would be alarmed. I’m really ashamed.”
The matter that the two of them were talking about was none other than the incident where a disciple of the Evil Fiend Hall was killed by a disciple of the heavenly demon city.
At first, the scope of the incident wasn’t big, but there was already a rift between the Heavenly Demon City and the Evil Fiend Hall. Using this incident as an excuse, there were many disputes between the two parties, and some people even died.
In the end, it ended up with the two experts, and the problem returned to its original starting point.
Was the disciple of the Evil Fiend Hall killed by the Heavenly Fiend?
“I don’t think Fellow Daoist is ashamed at all.”Venerable Xie Sheng glanced at Dongfang conglong, and his voice was cold.
“Haha, then Fellow Daoist, how do you want to solve it?”Dongfang Conglong didn’t deny it and said straightforwardly.
“In that case, your heavenly demon city has admitted defeat!”Venerable Xie Sheng’s tone suddenly became stern.
Dongfang conglong laughed and said, “Perhaps it was my master’s new disciple who did it. This matter is indeed our heavenly demon city’s fault.”
“You!”Venerable Xie Sheng suddenly stood up, but in the end, he did it again.
In the headquarters of the Evil Fiend Hall in the southern region, the disciples of the Evil Fiend Hall were killed by the people of the heavenly demon city. It was a very shameful matter, but so what? They could not start a war with the heavenly demon city.
“During this period of time, our Evil Fiend Hall has lost many disciples. How about this, your heavenly demon city will compensate our Evil Fiend Hall with 1,000 Spirit Crystals. Apart from that, let that person personally come to our Evil Fiend Hall to apologize.”
Venerable Xie Sheng made his request.
Dongfang conglong shook his head and said, “1,500 Spirit Crystals. Forget about apologizing. My junior brother has already gone to the central region. Moreover, your Evil Fiend Hall only lost an ordinary disciple. Why Bother?”
“Dongfang conglong, this is the Southern Region!”
“2,000 Spirit Crystals, no more.”Dongfang conglong pretended to be afraid and said helplessly.
Xiesheng supremacy was so angry that his face turned green. In the end, he flung his sleeves and scolded, “2,000 Spirit Crystals, send someone to deliver them to our Evil Fiend Hall! If something like this happens again in the future, Don’t blame us for being impolite!”
With that, he left with a group of disciples of the Evil Fiend Hall.
After the people of the Evil Fiend Hall left, Dongfang conglong frowned.
Behind him, a young devil cultivator asked in a low voice, “Master, why didn’t I know that Grandmaster had just accepted a new disciple?”
“You don’t know, but do you think I know? Judging from the confident manner of the people of the Evil Fiend Hall, it’s highly likely that a cultivator has mastered the nine transformation golden body mantra, but he hasn’t reported it to our Heavenly Fiend City yet!”
The young devil cultivator’s face revealed a look of envy.
There were only a few people in the entire upper realm who had mastered the nine transformation golden body mantra, so he didn’t know who was so lucky.
“Master, he was able to kill a disciple of the later stage of the Evil Fiend Hall’s avatar state, so he must have the ability to find our Heavenly Fiend. The reason he didn’t come looking for us is probably because he wasn’t willing to join our Heavenly Fiend.”
The young devil cultivator pondered for a moment and said in a low voice.
Dongfang conglong nodded when he heard this. Although Heavenly Fiend City was one of the strongest sects in the upper realm, the upper realm was so big that there would always be Weirdos.
It was normal for someone to be unwilling to join their Heavenly Fiend City.
If it was someone else, then forget it, but if a cultivator who had mastered the nine revolutions Golden Body Mantra didn’t join, then it wouldn’t work!
Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice, “Among my many disciples, you are the smartest. Go and search the vicinity of the place where the incident happened and see if there is any trace of that person.
That person should have a cultivation level below Unification Stage level, but he has comprehended the law of wood and looks rather young. You can go and ask for the specific information from the people below.”
When the young devil cultivator heard this, he asked with a smile, “Master, what if he doesn’t come?”
“Tie him up and bring him back.”
“Yes, Master.”
The young devil cultivator replied and left the hall.
..
On the other side, after venerable Xie Sheng flew out of the city Lord’s mansion, the anger on his face disappeared and was replaced by indifference.
“Dongfang Conglong is actually so easy to talk to today, and he even paid 2,000 Spirit Crystals. It’s not the style of Heavenly Fiend to want to settle things peacefully.”
“Sir, what do you mean?”
An evil cultivator behind him interjected.
“He specifically mentioned that the disciple went to the central region. I think it’s highly likely that he’s fooling us. If it was really done by the disciple of Heavenly Fiend Lord and he had already gone to the central region, would he obediently compensate us with 2,000 Spirit Crystals?”
“Sir is extremely right. If that’s the case, there’s a high chance that he will deny this matter. In fact, he might even forget about it completely,”the evil cultivator echoed.
When Venerable Xie Sheng heard this, he fell into deep thought. A moment later, he revealed a look of sudden realization.
Under what circumstances would Heavenly Fiend be in a hurry to settle this matter?
It was only under the circumstances that the disciple had not joined Heavenly Fiend and was not under the protection of Heavenly Fiend City.
This meant that it was very likely that he was an itinerant cultivator who had mastered the nine transformation golden body mantra!
If that was the case, everything would make sense.
“Hehe, I guess Dongfang conglong must have already sent people to look for him.”
Venerable Xie Sheng sneered and muttered to himself. Then, he turned around and began to give orders to his subordinates.
“Contact the sects near the place where the incident happened. If you find a cultivator who fits the characteristics, you will be rewarded with 500 Spirit Crystals. In addition, send another cultivator from the branch hall to look for that person. Remember, this matter must be carried out in secret.”
“Sir, if you find that person, what will you do?”
When Venerable Xie Sheng heard this, a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes. He said faintly, “Kill him and leave no trace.”
