The Shu King frowned when he overheard this from behind, muttering to Long Fei with so displeasure, "Big brother, stop wasting words on them. Mount Shu is clearly looking for trouble; there’s nothing to be gained from talking to them."
Long Fei smiled faintly, still looking calmly at Wang Zhengqian, "That’s a pity. I had so inside information about the Demon Clan which I wanted to inform you Mount Shu folks about. But since you behave this way, there’s no need for to be overly concerned."
Wang Zhengqian’s brows furrowed, seeing that Long Fei did not seem to be joking, he hurriedly asked, "What information?"
Long Fei replied, "As you ntioned, there’s no particular relationship between us, so I have no obligation to tell you. However, I advise you to return to Mount Shu quickly. In less than three days, a great calamity will befall your Mount Shu!"
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Fei Hongzi glared and shouted, hastily saying to Wang Zhengqian, "Master, don’t believe this guy; he’s talking nonsense."
Wang Zhengqian knew that for a renowned figure like Long Fei, there was no need for such jokes.
Even the inner gate elder of Mount Shu, Li Yuanhua, a direct disciple of Long Eyebrow Immortal, was no match for Long Fei.
If Long Fei were to use force, Wang Zhengqian wasn’t confident in defeating him.
Now that Long Fei hadn’t resorted to force and was providing this information, it was clear he knew sothing.
Concerned for the safety of Mount Shu, he dared not be careless and imdiately cupped his fists towards Long Fei respectfully, "Mage, my previous words were a bit harsh; please don’t take offense. If your information truly concerns the safety of Mount Shu, should you inform truthfully, I can consider giving you this land for free."
Fei Hongzi urgently cried out, "Master, you mustn’t! This land will be worth a fortune in the future. Without a hundred billion Spirit Stones, we can’t just give it away!"
In his urgency, he accidentally spoke his true thoughts.
The Shu King and his group frowned, laughing as they shouted at him, "Fei Hongzi, you’ve finally spoken your mind. This land is nothing but wasteland. You saw this King building a house here, and now you co to create trouble for so Spirit Stones, raising the price. Such audacity to have disciples of Mount Shu travel far to settle grudges for your gain?"
Fei Hongzi imdiately blushed, stamring, "You, you stop sowing discord between and my sect. I earn this money only to be filial to my sect."
Wang Zhengqian sternly scolded, "Enough, your interests are insignificant compared to the safety of the sect."
He cupped his fists towards Long Fei again, "Mage, as I said, if your information truly pertains to Mount Shu’s safety, the land will be yours freely."
The Shu King said, "Words are not enough, have your disciple produce the land deed."
Wang Zhengqian glanced at Fei Hongzi.
Inside, Fei Hongzi was indignant, but he couldn’t defy his master’s orders.
Without the sect’s protection, he was nothing in Shu State City.
He took the land deed from his storage ring, shouting at the Shu King and Long Fei, "If you can’t co up with anything, this deed is not yours!"
Long Fei said sternly, "Then listen well, the demon calamity in Shu State has been largely investigated by . It’s all linked to a demon race suppressed by you Mount Shu. The demon clans are killing everywhere to dye Shu State in blood, enabling this demon clan to absorb enough blood qi to break through. Within three days, a celestial phenonon of a solar eclipse will occur. Then Yin and Yang will reverse, and this Blood Demon will certainly seize the opportunity to break free. At that ti, countless demon soldiers, together with the Blood Demon, will attack the mountain, and your Mount Shu will be in grave danger!"
"Blood Demon?"
The disciples of Mount Shu stared blankly, all eyes on their master Wang Zhengqian.
Fei Hongzi, seeing his master’s silence, sneered at Long Fei, "Demon, do you think by spouting nonsense my master will believe you? What nonsense about a Blood Demon; our Mount Shu is filled with righteousness, how could a demon race survive underneath?"
"Exactly, they’re deceiving us!"
"Do they think Mount Shu is foolish?"
"What solar eclipse, are you an Immortal to calculate even that?"
"..."
The group of Mount Shu disciples followed, cursing, refusing to believe such information.
Wang Zhengqian sternly shouted, "Silence!"
The group of disciples quieted imdiately, looking at each other, seeing Wang Zhengqian’s tense expression, they felt a bit panicked inside.
Without speaking further, Wang Zhengqian took the deed from Fei Hongzi, handing it to Long Fei, "Thank you for the warning, friend. I will report this to the sect and let the Sect Leader and Great Elders decide."
With a serious expression, he left with his disciples swiftly.
Fei Hongzi and a group of disciples from the Flying Sword Sect stayed behind, watching the sword light in the sky, utterly bewildered.
Holding the land deed, the Shu King looked it over and over, teasing Fei Hongzi with a smile, "Hey, Grandmaster, aren’t you going to hurry and join them to guard Mount Shu?"
Fei Hongzi cursed with a composed face, "That’s none of your business!"
He left sullenly with his group of disciples, seeing his master in such a somber state, it was evident that what Long Fei said was likely true.
Going up the mountain now would be suicidal.
He wasn’t foolish; better to enjoy himself in Shu State City than to wade into such troubled waters.
The Shu King bead with joy; unexpected as it was, what he couldn’t accomplish despite his efforts, Long Fei resolved with a word.
If he had known, he wouldn’t have offered the Governor three-tenths of the profit; this was a major loss on the deal.
He accepted the land deed and boarded the carriage with Long Fei to return.
On the carriage, he curiously asked Long Fei, "Big brother, what you said earlier, was it true?"
Long Fei focused and said, "Is this sothing to joke about?"
The Shu King was delighted, "That’s great, if all those Mount Shu folks die, won’t we have the say in the cultivation world of Shu State?"
Long Fei admonished, "Without Mount Shu holding back the Demon Clan, do you think we can stay out of it?"
The Shu King pondered, then quickly lowered his head, "I didn’t think it through, my vision is too limited."
Long Fei said, "Mount Shu’s safety concerns the righteous path’s safety. Although this calamity doesn’t involve us, we must assist. Otherwise, righteousness will be in danger, and Shu State unprotected."
The Shu King coughed a few tis, "With big brother’s help, I will refrain. My cultivation level is of no use here!"
Long Fei looked at him and laughed, "Who said you’re useless, you have a big role to play."
"What big role?"
The Shu King wore a troubled face, a sudden fear of being sold creeping in.
On Southern Ridge Mountain, the demon winds roared.
The ten great Demon Emperors gathered, the mountains and fields blackened with organized ranks of demon soldiers and generals.
This tide of demons gathered together, numbering in the millions.
After the death of the Bixie Tiger King, a spot for a demon emperor was vacant.
A great black bull erged among the demons, overwhelming the other demon kings, commanding a million demon soldiers to beco the new generation demon emperor.
Today, they assembled for a single purpose, Mount Shu.
