Chapter 1492: Chapter 350
“Come on, hand over the money, and the goods will be delivered.”
Above the gates of the Hundred Peaks Sect, Cao Zhen carried Feng Yulan and flew towards the opposite side. The opposing party, seemingly wary of Cao Zhen’s strength, sent out two people, who each grabbed the Seven-Colored Splendid Bird from the left and right and flew towards Cao Zhen.
When they were about ten zhang away from Cao Zhen, the two stopped and looked at Cao Zhen, saying, “Sect Leader Cao, that’s far enough. Let’s exchange them at the same time.”
As if to show their sincerity, the two of them even threw the Seven-Colored Splendid Bird over.
Cao Zhen casually tossed Feng Yulan towards the opposite side, while his other hand gently emitted a soft force, pulling the Seven-Colored Splendid Bird in front of him.
Since the Seven-Colored Splendid Bird was bound, he couldn’t clearly see how colorful its tail was.
Looking at this small peacock, he frowned slightly. According to the rumors, the Seven-Colored Splendid Bird is a descendant of the Phoenix, fitting well with Little Yin. But this aura, it’s equivalent to the cultivation base of the Wind Fire Tribulation, not having broken through to the Earth Immortal Realm yet.
Can it handle Little Yin with its current small stature?
Even if it can, the offspring of a strange beast at the Wind Fire Tribulation level and one at the Earth Immortal Realm will definitely be different.
Troublesome; once I go back, I’ll have to raise its cultivation base a bit before handing it over to Little Yin Dragon.
Cao Zhen turned back with the Seven-Colored Splendid Bird and flew back to the mountain gate of the Hundred Peaks. He then handed it to a disciple nearby, saying, “Take it to Four Treasures Peak for now. Let Little Yin Dragon watch over it.”
Then, he looked at the second name on the roster.
Although, during the previous attack on the Hundred Peaks Sect by the Void Breaking Sect, there were quite a few Golden Core Stage casualties, most had surrendered—altogether, there were one hundred and twenty Golden Core Stage cultivators.
However, after trading six Golden Core Stage individuals with the opposing side, Cao Zhen waved his hand downwards, saying, “Alright, that’s enough. I have matters to deal with. The space outside looks big enough anyway; you have flying boats. Just wait here for a while. Once I’m done tomorrow, we’ll continue trading.”
“What? No more trades?” The opposing side was stunned, as only six people had been traded. They quickly exclaimed, “Sect Leader Cao, if you’re busy, go ahead and handle your matters. You have so many disciples at the Hundred Peaks Sect; can’t you let other disciples handle the trades for us?”
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhen shook his head immediately, saying, “Others? Others won’t do. With so many Earth Immortal Realm people, if in the exchange moment, you attack them, what then?”
“Attack? How could we possibly attack? We came with sincerity.”
“That’s right, we brought fifty Earth Immortal Realm people just to ensure our safety. We simply want to take our people back, Sect Leader Cao, you overthink.”
Cao Zhen coldly chuckled inwardly and shouted loudly, “If that’s the case, waiting here for a few days shouldn’t matter. It’s only a few extra days. To a cultivator, especially those of Earth Immortal Realm, a few days isn’t even time.”
Saying this, Cao Zhen turned and left the gates of the Hundred Peaks Sect. Naturally, there were still a few Earth Immortal Realm disciples left at the gates.
In the distance, the Earth Immortal Realm members of the Void Breaking Sect looked at one another, vexed.
“What does he mean by this?”
“He was available before; how could he suddenly be busy?”
“He’s clearly stalling for time.”
“But what use is stalling for time? How long can he delay? Ten days, half a month? During that time, how many Earth Immortal Realm cultivators can the Hundred Peaks Sect produce? It wouldn’t make much difference.”
“Or perhaps they’ve secretly contacted people from some Great Teachings, like the Dragon Chant Sect, for support?”
“Not likely. Now that the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth has ended, those in the Longevity Period of the Dragon Chant Sect have all awakened. They wouldn’t let Bi Yue do as they please.”
“Let them stall; let’s see how long they can delay.”
Originally, Cao Zhen intended to guard behind the gates. If an accident happened, like a sudden attack by the Void Breaking Sect, he could immediately fly to the gates to defend.
But his curiosity about the Seven-Colored Splendid Bird was overwhelming, so he decided to return to Four Treasures Peak for a look, planning to come back afterward.
As a result, just as he landed at Four Treasures Peak, he heard strange bird cries.
Then he stumbled upon a scene that was not suitable for a Taoist Boy to see.
Immediately following, Little Yin Dragon’s angry voice sounded, “Cao Zhen, you shameless thing, why did you come back? Get out quickly; wait for a couple of hours before returning.”
Cao Zhen was completely dumbfounded, “I only just sent the Seven-Colored Splendid Bird over and now, you’ve already made a move. I sure did name you right, you really are a Little Yin Dragon!”
“You ask me to leave and wait? You’re a dragon and a peacock; you don’t usually wear clothes, so what’s there to be shy about, still asking me to wait…”
“And now your courage has grown so large; you’re no longer calling me Master but directly calling by my name.”
“If it weren’t for me, would you be where you are now, able to break into the Earth Immortal Realm!”
“And you’re still asking me to wait, I… never mind, although Little Yin Dragon has broken through into the Earth Immortal Realm and can speak, he hasn’t completed his transformation, nothing much to see, better to go out and wait for a while.”
