Chapter 235: Three Demons Taunting
As Mister First and Mister Second heard that, they were enraged to the point smoke could be seen rising from their heads. Although they conjectured that this was a trap by Daoist HuoLong, the problem was: Why did you even fell for it?
Mu ZiRong might have seduced Gold, but Gold would not have fell for such a trap if he had the moral integrity of a righteous cultivator. The problem was that eldest brother Gold could not withstand the temptations of l.u.s.t and thus, went into Mu ZiRong’s bedroom. Now, there was no way of denying that this isn’t his fault!
Deep in the middle of the night, appearing in the bedroom of an engaged woman, naked and seen by so many people. No matter how eloquent eldest brother Gold may be, he will not be able to wiggle his way out of this mess!
Mister First and Mister Second were depressed! While they intend to save eldest brother Gold, they did not have the means to do so. They were depressed to the point they wanted to puke blood in anger.
However, eldest brother Gold was still part of their faction. If he were to be convicted with such a crime, not only will eldest brother Gold’s reputation be besmirched, both Mister First and Mister Second would no longer be able to establish their footing in the Mystical Sky Yard.
Helpless, Mister First and Mister Second could only approach Daoist HuoLong to have a discussion in secret. Finally, Daoist HuoLong retracted his accusations towards eldest brother Gold. He said that eldest brother Gold had only entered the wrong courtyard while trying to relief himself at night and did not have any malicious intents. As such, Gold was released after being reprimanded.
Of course, Daoist HuoLong had leveraged on this opportunity to siphon almost all the wealth from Mister First and Mister Second. Not only did he make them hand over a few important posts, he even got a magical artifact for Mu ZiRong as a gift to placate her.
Although Mister First and Mister Second paid a large price, they still managed to save eldest brother Gold. However, was it possible for such a scandal to remain unknown? Daoist HuoLong would definitely not let this chance slip off, to deal a blow to Mister First. Thus, almost everyone had a rough understanding of what actually happened.
As such, the faction belonging to Mister First and Mister Second would never be able to lift their heads up again. From then on, they no longer had any hopes of fighting for power and influence in the Mystical Sky Yard.
As though they were resigned to their fates, they announced that they were going into close door cultivation with their disciple and will not bother about the mundane matters. They would only focus all of their attention on cultivation so they will be able to stage an uprising in future.
After Daoist HuoLong had suppressed Mister First and Mister Second completely, he sent Mu ZiRong to the Eastern Ocean again. At the same time, he wrote a letter for Mu ZiRong to bring along with her.
As for SongZhong, his life in the Eastern Ocean wasn’t easy either. Ever since news of the Eastern Ocean Island Head Warrant was in his hands got out, his serene dwellings became a marketplace, filled with an endless stream of people visiting him.
Most of them were here to come and bootlick him and build closer ties with him. Especially those neighbors of his, not daring to offend the new local tyrant. As for the rest, they were here on behalf of their teams to form an alliance with SongZhong. Finally, there were those who were here to use their backings, to s.n.a.t.c.h the Eastern Ocean Island Head Warrant from him.
With regards to these people, SongZhong was extremely annoyed with them. At the start, he did not know how to deal with him. In the end, he just could not take it anymore and hid himself up, letting the crafty Old Poison handle them all.
As for their requests to form an alliance, SongZhong only gave vague replies; he did not reject them, nor he did not agree to it either. As for those who wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h the Eastern Ocean Island Head Warrant from him, he gave them all a good beating regardless of their backgrounds.
No one thought that SongZhong would be this savage. After all, the teams who dared to s.n.a.t.c.h the Eastern Ocean Island Head Warrant had a few JinDan cultivators at the very least. Like the saying goes, one must look at the owner before beating the dog. For him to beat all of them up and throwing them out like dead dogs, it was akin to offending those teams.
Furthermore, amongst the people he beat up, there were subordinates of the Three Eastern Ocean Demons. Ever since he got the warning from Huo **, he knew that he would have to meet these three demons eventually. Never did he imagine that the day would come so soon and that they would show him no face at all!
The three demons could not be bothered to meet SongZhong personally and sent a random subordinate of theirs over. They demanded the Eastern Ocean Island Head Warrant and treated SongZhong rudely, and that he had to be filial to them like a grandson!
How could SongZhong tolerate all these? The moment he saw that the other party was rude, he exploded in rage and treated all of them as his sandbags. SongZhong was now an extremely arrogant person as well and would not allow his dignity to be encroached upon. If he were to let others slight him once, they would think that SongZhong was afraid of them and become even more outrageous. As such, SongZhong did not show them a single shred of mercy. Not only did he beat them up, he humiliated them in front of the other cultivators who came as guests.
The three demons would definitely not be able to tolerate this! Thus, they quickly gave a response, giving a joint notice to SongZhong that they would visit him three days later!
The reason why they would come together was that there was only a single Eastern Ocean Island Head Warrant, which they could not divide equally. To avoid conflict, they made an agreement to not find SongZhong secretly to settle this matter. Hence, the three of them made a joint notice.
Although the notice said that the three demons were here to pay a visit to SongZhong, no one would believe that they were really there to pay a visit. The notice of visit was obviously an utter bulls.h.i.+t! SongZhong has been targeted by the three of them! There would definitely be a conflict!
