Chapter 780: Chapter 449 Zhao Xuankang_2 Chapter 780: Chapter 449 Zhao Xuankang_2 “Nevertheless, I had a chance eting with Zhou from your Divine Wood Sect and he gave a favor. So, I had delayed the matter in the Dao Palace, giving you enough ti to annihilate the Mountain Shaker Peak.”
“Because of this, my current situation in the Dao Palace is a bit challenging. If I don’t take the Void Mysterious Stone Mine back, I’m afraid I’ll have to seek other ways to get it from the Divine Wood Sect.”
Zhao Xuankang’s words were more direct. After revealing that he had had dealings with Zhou Shengqing, he made no attempt to hide his threat.
Underlying this was the implication that if he didn’t get the mine, the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace’s army would descend upon them, and the Nascent Soul elder himself might demand it personally.
“Oh? Brother Zhou hadn’t ntioned anything to about this.”
Fu Zongjue furrowed his brows after hearing this but managed to keep his composure.
“Elder Fu can discuss with Elder Zhou about this. I’ll co back with Brother Nan in three days.”
After saying this, Zhao Xuankang left with a smile on his face, taking Nanxuan Jing with him.
“That guy is as crafty as always.”
Fu Zongjue looked at the disappearing figure of Zhao Xuankang and couldn’t help but curse.
“Oh, the ancestor dealt with him before?”
Chen Mobai asked after hearing this.
“Back when the five veins hadn’t separated, Zhao Xuankang was a guest of the Five Elents Sect. We had crossed paths a few tis.”
Fu Zongjue said this and then took out a talisman to contact Zhou Shengqing.
Green smoke slowly rose, forming the virtual image of Zhou Shengqing.
“Although I had made contact with him originally, Zhao Xuankang intends to play both sides to increase his benefits. It is only because the Divine Wood Sect and Mountain Shaker Peak are evenly matched that he can better squeeze the industry of Mountain Shaker Peak.”
“He underestimated us and certainly did not expect Ji Zhenshi to die so soon, within just half a year. That’s why he hurried over to get more benefits.”
“Let them have this Void Mysterious Stone Mine since they want it. After all, we need to save face for the Nascent Soul elder of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.”
Zhou Shengqing spoke the last part with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
Although the Divine Wood Sect’s power in the Eastern Wilderness was ranked among the top, it was no match for the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.
Despite his connection in the Sun Bathing Sea, after the Hun Yuan ancestor passed away, there was no way to ask other Cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage to stand against the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.
After much consideration, he could only submit.
Three days later.
Zhao Xuankang and Nanxuan Jing arrived, and after receiving the expected answer from Fu Zongjue’s mouth, they exchanged glances and nodded.
However, they then took out another contract.
“In addition to the Void Mysterious Stone Mine, Ji Zhenshi had also mortgaged two small Spirit Stone Mines within Rock Country to us to raise the Spirit Stones needed to hire Loose Practitioner Robs Practitioner.”
Hearing Zhao Xuankang’s words, Fu Zongjue was furious.
“The most valuable assets of Rock Country are these three mines. Your Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace is going too far.”
“Elder Fu, aren’t you doing the sa to Mountain Shaker Peak in the Eastern Wilderness? In our world, it’s survival of the fittest. Isn’t that the philosophy of cultivation?”
Zhao Xuankang smiled, saying a sentence that made Fu Zongjue clench his fists.
“The Void Mysterious Stone Mine is the last bottom line. If your Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace wants the two Spirit Stone Mines, you’ll have to justify it through battle.”
Fu Zongjue well understood the saying ‘give them an inch and they’ll take a mile’. If he gave in again, Zhao Xuankang might take out more contracts and take away all the businesses that Mountain Shaker Peak owned.
Therefore, he firmly refused and showed his determination to fight if necessary.
“In that case, I was worried that we didn’t have an excuse to mobilize the troops from the Dao Palace to take revenge for my two disciples. Since Elder Fu has put it this way, your Divine Wood Sect should prepare for the onslaught of our Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.”
Nanxuan Jing, who had been silent all along, said with a sneer.
Chen Mobai, who was on the side, frowned slightly. He had thought that once they had conquered Mountain Shaker Peak, he could safely cultivate in the Eastern Wilderness until he achieved Core Formation.
Unexpectedly, the struggles between the sects in the Tianhe Realm were much more direct than he had imagined.
The Divine Wood Sect hadn’t even absorbed the spoils from the wars with Rock Country and Sky Country, but the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, who had been watching them all along, was ready to strike like a crossing dragon.
“Don’t think that only your Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace has a Primordial Infant Great Cultivator backing it up!”
Fu Zongjue said coldly. Hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly surprised, he actually didn’t know that the Divine Wood Sect had such a backing!
“When it cos to allegiance, the Five Elents Sect is even more legitimate than your Divine Wood Sect. If our Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace were to approach them, I believe the Sect Leader of the Five Elents Sect would be more than willing to join forces with us to eliminate you, the traitors of the two veins.”
Zhao Xuankang said a sentence that made Fu Zongjue’s heart suddenly cold.
Indeed, due to the connection with Hun Yuan, the Five Elents Sect is the rightful inheritor. If the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace of the Eastern Wasteland were to ally with the Five Elents Sect, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
“Two Spirit Stone Mines are absolutely unacceptable, we can give you one at most.”
As soon as Fu Zongjue said this, it represented his submission.
Zhao Xuankang and Nanxuan Jing looked at each other, smiles appearing on their lips, but they insisted on seizing the Void Mysterious Stone Mine and the two small-scale Spirit Stone Mines.
“I need to report this matter to Elder Brother Zhou.”
Fu Zongjue could only delay again.
“We will return in three days, by then I think we should be able to see Brother Zhou again.”
Zhao Xuankang smiled confidently and turned to leave with Nanxuan Jing once more.
Sure enough, after receiving Fu Zongjue’s report, Zhou Shengqing ca over through the Teleportation Array, despite grunting angrily.
At this point, Zhou Shengqing had no choice but to intervene.
“Zhao, there is a limit to what can be done.”
Upon eting Zhao Xuankang, Zhou Shengqing said coldly.
“This is our last offer: if you give us the Void Mysterious Stone Mine and the two small-scale Spirit Stone Mines to offset the bad debt left by Ji Zhenshi, we can write off the deaths of our junior brothers Xuan Qiao and Xuan Jinzhi.”
Zhao Xuankang stated solemnly. Facing Zhou Shengqing, Nanxuan Jing no longer appeared as indifferent as before, obviously respecting him as the number one cultivator of the Eastern Wasteland.
“It’s settled. Let’s make the oath of Dao Heart.”
Zhou Shengqing was a decisive man. As long as he could trade his losses for ti for his Nascent Soul Formation, he could recover all of today’s losses with interest in the future.
“Brother Zhou is as straightforward as he was before, I have prepared for this.”
Zhao Xuankang took out two identical contracts after getting his desirable gain.
Then under the witnesses, they made their Dao Heart promises, each taking one copy.
“In the future, Brother Nan will bring the disciples of our lineage from the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace to establish a branch here, and we will be neighbors. We look forward to your continued care.”
After concluding the matter, Zhao Xuankang introduced Nanxuan Jing who was standing beside him.
Chen Mobai only felt that all actions of his Divine Wood Sect seed to be calculatively worked out by the other party.
It was no wonder that they watched as the Mountain Shaker Peak was destroyed, perhaps the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace also had a hand in the incident at Liu Jia Mountain.
“Since Brother Nan is setting up a sect here, rember the old saying, ‘A close neighbor is better than a distant relative.’
Zhou Shengqing said this with a fake smile, causing Nanxuan Jing to furrow his brows, his spiritual power surging.
Their forces clashed, causing Nanxuan Jing to let out a stifled hum.
“Well, we will take our leave first then, the Elder is still waiting for our report.”
Zhao Xuankang saw this scene, his expression unfazed. He grabbed Nanxuan Jing’s hand, tore through Zhou Shengqing’s force, and turned to leave.
They flew out to a distant mountain peak before stopping.
“Brother, what levle of cultivation do you guess Zhou Shengqing has reached?”
“He pretends to be at the late stage of Core Formation, but it’s likely he has reached Perfection. He agreed to our harsh conditions this ti, which shows his desperation to gain ti for Nascent Soul Formation. Although the likelihood of him forming a nascent soul is slim due to his age, his roots, and the scarcity of resources in the Eastern Wasteland, it’s better to try and sabotage him.”
Nanxuan Jing said calmly, his face no longer filled with the arrogance from before, but the details of Zhou Shengqing’s situation that he had probed out.
“If things really co to that point, I will trade my life for his.”
Zhao Xuankang took out the contract bound by the Dao Heart oath and said coldly.
