Chapter 1604: Chapter 368_5
"Indeed, your Hundred Peaks Sect must increase the rewards."
"Xiang Ziyu, what further rewards can your Hundred Peaks Sect offer?"
They were not particularly courteous to Xiang Ziyu, after all, they were part of a Great Teaching, while Xiang Ziyu’s Hundred Peaks Sect was merely a sect.
Although Xiang Ziyu was quite famous in the Eastern Province, that fame was accumulated during the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth.
Now is not the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, now is the reign of the Longevity Period.
No matter how talented Xiang Ziyu was at the Golden Core Stage, entering the Longevity Period still required time to accumulate, compared to them, Xiang Ziyu was still far behind. They gathered so many high-ranking officials here because of their cooperation between the Yin Yang Sect and Hundred Peaks Sect, and because Xiang Ziyu is a genius, showing a lot of face.
Originally, Xiang Ziyu wanted to seek help from the two Great Teachings for the Hundred Peaks Sect, but his master advised him to cultivate first, until his strength was strong enough before venturing out.
His master always felt he was too adventurous, insisting that he must have enough strength to protect himself before leaving the sect gates, which delayed it until now.
In any case, the Hundred Peaks Sect now uses all its resources to deal with the Sect Tribulation, unable to offer any additional resources to others; the only resource it can offer is the celestial energy within the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Xiang Ziyu observed the others, and with a spark in his heart said, "This is easy to resolve; do you feel you wasted half a year?"
Our Hundred Peaks Sect currently needs three experts to assist with the Heavenly Tribulation. Three people together make a year and a half; right now, our Hundred Peaks Sect’s celestial energy can sustain another year and a half. So, we can let you send one more person to our Hundred Peaks Sect and cultivate before the Dao Tribulation arrives. In this way, it would make up for the time lost."
"This..." The crowd was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, instinctively wanting to refute, but thinking of Xiang Ziyu’s words, seemed reasonable.
"Sending one more person? You are now merely compensating, it’s not enough," Immortal Jiu Yang continued to shake her head, looking at Xiang Ziyu with a trace of hostility and dissatisfaction, "Also, your Hundred Peaks Sect sent the Sect Leader to the Dragon Chant Sect, yet it’s you who comes to our Yin Yang Sect, are you looking down on our Yin Yang Sect?"
Xiang Ziyu’s eyebrows furrowed instantly; this Immortal Jiu Yang was someone he was meeting for the first time, having never offended her before, why bothers targeting him everywhere?
Could it be she aims to attract the protagonist’s attention deliberately, hence behaving this way?
Beside him, Jiu Yin looked at her senior sister, who treasured Xiang Ziyu, sighed helplessly, and quickly spoke, "Senior sister, the Hundred Peaks Sect sent Xiang Ziyu over because he and I are relatively familiar, perhaps feeling communication would be easier."
She said while secretly transmitting a message to Xiang Ziyu, "Zi Yu, don’t take it to heart; my senior sister is just trying to stand up for me because of what she knows about us, hence her behavior; actually, she is quite nice."
Immortal Jiu Yang, witnessing her junior starting to speak, revealed a look of disbelief on her face and scolded, "He hasn’t even given a response yet, and you speak for him?"
Speaking to Xiang Ziyu again, she said, "Tell me, when will you give my junior sister an explanation, when will you become Dao companions and cultivate the Way of Yin and Yang together!"
Xiang Ziyu glanced at Jiu Yin beside him, then at Jiu Yang, curiously pointing at Immortal Jiu Yang asked, "Your name is Jiu Yang, so you must practice the Way of Yin and Yang, mastering the Yang aspect?"
Immortal Jiu Yang immediately snorted coldly, "Nonsense."
"Then isn’t it simple?" Xiang Ziyu pointed at both and said, "One of you practices Yin, and the other practices Yang. Wouldn’t it be perfect for you two to practice the Way of Yin and Yang together? Why do you need to seek me out?"
"Scoundrel!" Immortal Jiu Yang was instantly furious, "We are both women, how can we practice the Way of Yin and Yang together, if I were a man, it wouldn’t be your turn! Are you insulting the two of us!"
Xiang Ziyu earnestly responded, "Who says two women can’t do it? I believe everything needs to be tried; I can help you research it thoroughly."
He truly felt that the methods of practicing Yin and Yang could be modified, why must it be necessarily between a man and woman? Why must one become Dao companions to practice?
Listening to Xiang Ziyu’s continued words, Immortal Jiu Yang’s face was already covered with frost, her chest, under intense rage, heaved violently.
She pointed a finger at Xiang Ziyu, her tone frost like, "Brat, you are insulting us! No, this is insulting our Yin Yang Sect; today, you must be taught a lesson!"
Nearby, Jiu Yin saw Immortal Jiu Yang incensed and quickly mollified, "Senior sister..."
"No need to speak... Rest assured, considering your connection with him, and cooperation between our Yin Yang Sect and the Hundred Peaks Sect, I won’t kill him, but the necessary lesson must be given!"
All around, people did not speak, yet they nodded in agreement.
Indeed, Xiang Ziyu’s earlier words were excessive and were clearly insulting; he deserved a lesson.
Xiang Ziyu was speechless, how did he insult anyone, he clearly was trying to assist them. Yet he helplessly looked at Immortal Jiu Yang saying, "You... you all are quite dangerous, don’t you know? I am helping you; instead of thanking me, you provoke me."
