Go to Spirited Mountain together and save the remaining Great Sages?
After hearing this request, Meng Qi initially felt that it was ridiculous, If there were any Great Sages who were lucky to have survived, wouldn't him saving them be equivalent to committing suicide?
In today's world, although the human race looked great and thriving, once they met with an enemy of the Legendary realm, there was still an unrecoverable gap. There were only a few who could barely withstand, and all the prosperity and future would be cut off.
Even a mighty person who had just entered the Legendary realm could do it, let alone the Great Sages who dominated during ancient times?
Why did he take the risk to obtain information and made every effort to create the additional self imprints? It was to self-attain the Legendary realm before the Legendary mighty people returned, so as to protect the important people and things. If he let the Great Sages escape in advance, wouldn't the order be reversed and his method and goal would be contradicting?
But thinking about it from another angle, Meng Qi already felt his heart heavy. Wasn't the unspoken meaning of the Demonic Sage's successor putting up this request the fact that they had reached an agreement with the Luo Sect, paid a price, accepted some restrictions and gotten the way to enter Spirited Mountain?
Without him, they could still find other experts to work with!
Everything had been prepared for entering the Spirited Mountain to save the Great Sages and finding him was only icing on the cake. Whether he rejected or not seemed irrelevant?
Meng Qi's expression remained unchanged, maintaining the shrewdness of the head of Kunlun Mountain Jade Mirage Palace and the imposing manner of a celestial being, as he said with indifference, ”Enter Spirited Mountain? You've gotten what you wanted from the Luo Sect?”
The Demonic Sage's successor lightly nodded and said with slight arrogance, ”Yes.”
Her reply was simple and concise without any explanation, obviously not wanting outsiders to know the price the demonic race had paid for it.
”The demonic race is scattered all over the world. After hiding your talents for years, you have dealings with one another after the Demon King's palace opened its door. You have a large pool of talents now, why do you need my help?” Meng Qi sat on a low bed, his voice like a floating cloud.
Without moving her eyes, the Little Fox said calmly, ”Other demons may not know, but I'm fully aware that you are at the top in today's world. Danger is everywhere in Spirited Mountain, our success rate would increase by at least thirty percent with your help. It's worth taking this risk to save the Great Sages.”
She seemed to know that it was a tie between the Primitive Emperor and the Tyrant in the battle of the strongest celestial being in the palace of the Demonic King. He was indeed at the top in today's world!
”Aren't you afraid that I might make trouble and ruin saving the Great Sages?” Meng Qi asked without hesitation, his surroundings floating with darkness like descending auspicious clouds.
The Little Fox pressed her lips into a charming smile, ”I believe you would make a correct judgement at a critical juncture.”
Hmm, does this mean that Spirited Mountain would surely change my initial thoughts? Or believe that my ruining is of no avail? Meng Qi was quite puzzled, thoughts ran through his mind.
The demonic race and the Luo Sect had already come to an agreement and had to take action. If he participated, he could still act accordingly and ruin things or figure out how the Luo Sect could benefit. If he rejected, he could only wait for news and wouldn't be able to control whether the news was good or bad.
There was no need to say anymore on what he should do.
With both his hands displaying a mudra sign and placed on his knees, Meng Qi said indifferently, ”Alright, I shall follow you to Spirited Mountain to have a look.”
Who knows, he might even be able to find the Nether Skeleton again and use it as material for future heavenly weapon creation or the core of the Jade Mirage Palace's mountain-guarding formation.
”Thank you very much, Primitive Emperor,” the Little Fox toned down her smile and gave a reserved bow.
”How should I address you?” Meng Qi asked casually.
The Little Fox slightly curled up the corner of her mouth and showed her dimples, ”I've stopped using my previous name. After becoming the head of the fox clan of Green Hill, I'm known as Qingqiu.”
”Head of the fox clan of Green Hill?” Meng Qi regurgitated, another nine-tailed fox spontaneously came to his mind - one whose abilities were above Qingqiu and of the celestial level.
Did Su Daji return to the future, or is she facing the Buddha statue in the pure land in the east or even already passed on?
Inside the quiet room, the oil lamp swayed and illuminated the silhouette of the Little Fox like a dream. But Meng Qi sighed to himself, the success rate would increase by at least thirty percent with my help?
You're really too innocent and naive, don't you know that I'm an expert in causing trouble and accidents?
With my participation, this trip is guaranteed to be full of changes, twists and turns, and unpredictable results…
…
On the arranged date, Meng Qi wiped off the accumulated dust and arrived at Donghai in a green robe. His gray temples remained and his disposition was like an ancient well with no ripples.
