Should I reveal the matter of the Senior?
Daoist Jin Mo’s mind rejected the thought within a second.
No!
Senior explicitly instructed me not to mention his existence!
I must strictly adhere to Senior’s wishes!
Daoist Jin Mo resolutely shook his head and said,
“I encountered some marvelous fortuitous encounters!”
Zhen Buxu nodded. He understood that Daoist Jin Mo was unwilling to disclose the details, so he did not press further and changed the subject.
“Senior Brother Jin Mo, although fellow Daoist Heilong made some mistakes, he is, after all, a guest from the Heavenly Dragon Sacred Land. The five great sacred lands are of one mind. Could you, for my sake, refrain from making things too difficult for fellow Daoist Heilong?”
Zhen Buxu, as expected of the Sect Master True Person, was exceptionally adept at speaking.
He did not use his authority as Sect Master to pressure Daoist Jin Mo, but instead pleaded with him in a conciliatory tone.
Daoist Jin Mo frowned.
He had to give face to the Sect Master.
However, he was truly unwilling to let Elder Heilong go so easily.
After all, Elder Heilong had harbored murderous intent just moments ago.
If Daoist Jin Mo had not arrived in time, Yun Tianzhong and Yun Tiakong would have been killed by Elder Heilong, and their acquired spirit treasures would have been plundered!
He could not swallow this insult!
At this moment, Yun Tianzhong stepped forward.
He first paid his respects to the esteemed figures present with neither humility nor arrogance, then said to Daoist Jin Mo,
“Senior Jin Mo, let the matter of just now pass. Both Kong and I have no intention of pursuing anyone!”
The wronged party himself had spoken.
Now, the problem would be easily resolved!
Zhen Buxu’s eyes were filled with admiration as he appraised Yun Tianzhong.
Neither humble nor arrogant!
Poised and composed!
This young man is truly remarkable!
Zhen Buxu understood Yun Tianzhong’s inner thoughts. It wasn't that he didn't hate Elder Heilong. He had almost been killed by Elder Heilong; how could he not hate him?
It was simply that Yun Tianzhong was sensible and understood the bigger picture. He recognized the immense pressure Daoist Jin Mo had borne by standing up for him. If the matter were to escalate further, it would only be detrimental to Daoist Jin Mo!
Zhen Buxu nodded in his heart. With a wave of his hand, three streams of spiritual light shot out.
The spiritual lights landed before Yun Tianzhong, Yun Tiakong, and Yun Zhaozhao respectively.
Zhen Buxu’s gentle voice slowly resounded,
“These are the Grand Essence Pills personally refined by this venerable, which can both heal injuries, increase cultivation, and enhance the chances of breaking through bottlenecks… The benefits are numerous! You have been wronged this time, and these pills shall serve as my compensation for your troubles!”
Grand Essence Pills!
The cultivators of the Heavenly Mystery Sacred Land’s eyes all glowed green.
Good stuff!
Truly good stuff!
Even on normal days, they could not obtain a single pill from Zhen Buxu.
Now, Zhen Buxu was gifting three bottles; he was exceedingly generous!
Yun Tianzhong and the others bowed and thanked Zhen Buxu before accepting the pills.
The matter was now largely resolved!
Zhen Buxu smiled at Daoist Jin Mo and said,
“Senior Brother Jin Mo, you can now release fellow Daoist Heilong, can you not?”
Daoist Jin Mo was just about to release him when he suddenly seemed to recall something. He stared coldly at Elder Heilong and asked in a stern voice,
“Heilong, tell me yourself, how should the outcome of this battle be judged?”
At this moment, Elder Heilong’s face was extremely unsightly.
He had never dreamed that such events would unfold.
The super reinforcements he had relied on, Venerable Chijiao, had not lasted two rounds before being forcefully “crippled” by Daoist Jin Mo.
Now, Elder Heilong had truly become an “old black mudfish.”
Without backing, without support!
If he did not concede now, the fate of Venerable Chijiao would be his own example!
It was time to yield!
True Person Heilong clenched his fists tightly. The force was so great that his fingernails dug deep into his flesh, and wisps of blood seeped out.
“This battle, Long Feng and his group have lost!”
Conceded!
He had conceded!
The entire audience was silent for a moment!
The next second, it erupted!
“Hahaha, good, excellent, the Heavenly Dragon Three Changes have lost again, hahaha…”
“The Lucky Squad is simply the nemesis of the Heavenly Dragon Three Changes!”
“This time, the Heavenly Dragon Three Changes have lost convincingly, right?”
…
The public opinion at the scene was almost unanimously in favor of the “Lucky Squad.”
The Heavenly Dragon Three Changes were universally disliked.
Daoist Jin Mo laughed heartily and released the restrictions binding Elder Heilong.
“Scram!”
Elder Heilong glared at Daoist Jin Mo with immense malice in his eyes.
Utter humiliation!
As the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Dragon Sacred Land, Elder Heilong had never suffered such profound humiliation; he could not bear it!
According to international convention, he intended to declare something like “You wait,” and “I will be back.”
Who would have thought that Daoist Jin Mo would act so unpredictably? He glared and roared,
“What are you looking at? Those eyes are quite venomous! Believe it or not, I’ll beat you again!”
Elder Heilong trembled all over, shrinking his neck in fear.
He dared not say another word, tucking his tail between his legs, and flew away dejectedly.
He had lost face completely this time!
Elder Heilong had no face to remain here any longer, so he directly left the Heavenly Mystery Sacred Land.
Daoist Jin Mo laughed heartily, feeling gratified.
Senior, as you commanded, I have taught these fellows from the Heavenly Dragon Sacred Land a harsh lesson!
A certain mountain cave.
A certain person.
Nodded repeatedly.
This Daoist Jin Mo’s seriousness towards the “mission” deserved 10086 likes!
…
The biggest dark horses of this year’s “Hidden Dragon Ranking” trio had emerged.
Yun Tianzhong, at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm, wielded the acquired spirit treasure “Sword Tomb.” He unleashed the “Three Thousand Sword Techniques,” which were ever-changing and profoundly mysterious, with a combat power comparable to cultivators in the early Golden Core realm.
Yun Tiakong, at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm, wielded the acquired spirit treasure “Indomitable Heavenly Sword.” He unleashed the “Path of Nine Kills,” exuding boundless killing intent, fierce and sharp, with a combat power comparable to cultivators in the early Golden Core realm.
Yun Zhaozhao, a cute young girl, had relatively weaker personal combat power but possessed a peculiar spirit pet – the Little Spirit Monkey King.
The monkey’s combat power, theoretically speaking, was slightly inferior to Yun Tianzhong and Yun Tiakong.
Please note, “theoretically speaking.”
In reality, the monkey was ferociously powerful, terrifying, and unmatched!
This was because the monkey never engaged in direct confrontation.
It had been too greatly influenced by “someone,” always resorting to sneak attacks.
If there was no opportunity, it would create one for a sneak attack.
Ever since the monkey acquired the Buddhist treasure “Vajra Hoop,” its methods of sneak attack became even more audacious.
It would snatch at people’s heads, feet… any protruding parts of the body.
As a result, male cultivators now trembled involuntarily when they saw the monkey.
The monkey’s Buddhist treasure, the “Vajra Hoop,” was snatched from Long Zhu, and according to the competition rules, it needed to be returned.
However, the monkey, being extremely cunning, refused to return it.
When the officiating judge came to it, the monkey put on a masterful performance.
(⊙_⊙)?
What did you say?
I don’t understand!
I am a monkey, and I don’t understand what you, a human, are babbling about. Isn't that reasonable!
When the officiating judge attempted to forcibly seize it, the monkey immediately lay on the ground and let out a piercing cry like a “pig being slaughtered,” or rather, a “monkey being slaughtered,” attracting a crowd.
As everyone knew, the “Lucky Squad” was now under the protection of Daoist Jin Mo.
The onlookers began to discuss animatedly.
Wow, this officiating judge is so brave, actually harming the spirit pet of the “Lucky Squad.” I respect him as a true man.
By the way, I wonder if this true man can withstand Senior Jin Mo’s “Great Truth Spell.”
…
The officiating judge broke out in a cold sweat.
“I’m sorry to have bothered you!”
He uttered this and fled in haste.
He was afraid that if he were a moment slower, he would be hit by the “Great Truth Spell.”
And so, the monkey successfully “blackmailed” the Buddhist treasure “Vajra Hoop.”
