Chapter 159: There is no reason to refuse (2/2)

After a while, Zheng Neng made a light sound and agreed with him. Afterwards, he slowly closed his eyes; no one knew what he was thinking.

Demon Monarch Anzhi also had a serious expression.

Zheng Neng suddenly said, ”It seems that that fellow is coming here again.”

”Is it Branch Leader Jing Mo? He comes here every few days. Isn’t he bored yet?” Demon Monarch Anzhi laughed strangely. ”This demon monarch has no free time to waste. I’m going.”

After finis.h.i.+ng his sentence, he turned into black mist and quickly ran away.

Zheng Neng didn’t say anything. He took a step forward, and a wooden sword flew out of his sleeve. Afterwards, it changed into a layer of light that fell under his feet. With its help, he also disappeared under the sea of clouds.

Young Master Hai was just about to say something when he saw those two ditching him.

The Limitless Demon Sect had a lot of branches scattered around the world, and Jing Mo was in charge of one of them. In addition, he was a disciple of the 69th peak, the Mahoraga Peak.

Other than being someone that thought too highly of himself, he was also very short-tempered. He was literally a loose cannon.

You didn’t agree with him? He would immediately take out his sword and start fighting you.

Were you merrily drinking and eating with him? A second later he might start hitting you because you inadvertently said something that made him displeased.

If your strength was similar to his, you could wage a fierce battle of 300 or so rounds. But if you were weaker than him, you could only get a good beating.

Almost everyone on the Mahoraga Peak had quarreled and fought with him. In the end, even the ‘Peak Lord’ of the Mahoraga Peak couldn’t stand him anymore. Therefore, he decided to appoint him as a branch leader and sent him away.

And since he was favored by the Peak Lord, Young Master Hai became Branch Leader Jing Mo’s main target.

”This unreasonable fellow is quite troublesome,” Young Master Hai’s face twitched. After heaving a sigh, he tried his best to maintain his cool facade.

When dealing with this fellow, the more you were annoyed, the happier he would get.

”Haha. It seems that Junior Brother Hai has really too much free time lately. Unexpectedly, you’re here looking at the clouds? Oh yeah, I just heard some news. Some people were saying that you caused a ruckus inside the Moon Saber Sect and obtained four Blood G.o.d Crystals after sacrificing the whole sect. However, at the last minute, you were done in by a small fry that even managed to steal your crystal! This news was just too interesting! Hahahaha!” Branch Leader Jing Mo hadn't arrived there yet; his voice came first.

At this time, the form of a tall man appeared in front of Young Master Hai.

He had white hair that looked like the spines of a hedgehog. And, surprisingly enough, both his pupils had a pure golden color; this was due to his cultivation technique. From time to time, a golden electrical current would flash through his eyes. [1]

Young Master Hai turned his body and said with a faint smile, ”Everyone on the peak already know of this. Is it possible that Senior Brother Jing Mo discovered it just now?”

This smile was meant to ridicule him. Given his awful disposition, no one on the peak was willing to spend time with Jing Mo.

Who would like to get a beating out of the blue?

Branch Leader Jing Mo stopped smiling and coldly snorted, ”I heard that the person that stole your Blood G.o.d Crystal was someone at the First Stage who had just started cultivating. He hadn’t even completed his Foundation Establishment yet.”

”That’s true. It was a very ordinary-looking young cultivator who was friends with Su Clan’s Seven. At this time, he should have already opened his Heart Aperture, completing his Foundation Establishment.” Young Master Hai said with a smile. He revealed some of the information regarding ‘Stressed by a Mountain of Books’.

”Tsk, tsk. You got scared just because he was acquainted with Su Clan’s Seven? Is that why you didn’t take back the Blood G.o.d Crystal?” Branch Leader Jing Mo laughed in a strange manner.

”Senior Brother must be joking. One should make a move only if completely prepared. I won’t act if I’m not completely sure of the outcome,” Young Master Hai still had a gentle smiling face.

”As I see it, you were just scared s.h.i.+tless by Su Clan’s Seven!” Branch Leader Jing Mo replied with a smile, revealing teeth that resembled that of a shark. Afterwards, he said, ”Since you’re too scared of taking back your Blood G.o.d Crystal, let your senior brother take it back for you! You won’t get offended if I were to take it back, right? Well, not that it would matter even if you were to get offended.”

”Hehe,” Young Master Hai faintly smiled. ”Of course, I won’t get offended. Senior Brother Jing Mo, you can do as you please.”

Originally, he had come here to slap Young Master Hai on the face. However, the latter didn’t even retort.

Branch Leader Jing Mo spat on the ground. Since he couldn’t take care of Young Master Hai with words alone, he would do it with facts!

He stamped his foot and left.

***

As soon as he left, Demon Monarch Anzhi, who was still a ma.s.s of demonic mist, reappeared. ”Are you planning to use Jing Mo to deal with that ‘Stressed by a Mountain of Books’?”

Zheng Neng also emerged from the sea of clouds. ”What should we do if he really manages to take back the Blood G.o.d Crystal?”

”It doesn’t really matter. After all, it’s just a piece of Blood G.o.d Crystal,” Young Master Hai was looking at the horizon as he slowly clenched his fist. ”Of course, that’s a.s.suming his appet.i.te is enough to eat that Blood G.o.d Crystal after obtaining it. Otherwise, hehe...

Moreover, even if he’s somewhat weak, that ‘Stressed by a Mountain of Books’ is far from being an ordinary cultivator. Otherwise, how was he able to find the loophole in our revised Blood G.o.d’s Evil Saber Formation and s.n.a.t.c.h away our treasure with such ease?” The corner of the Young Master Hai’s mouth rose in a smile. ”He didn’t find that loophole by luck. Therefore, he’s either a wolf disguising as a sheep or there’s someone with high skills who is helping him.

As for which of the two it is, we can only know after giving it a try. And now, Branch Leader Jing Mo has decided to act as cannon fodder on his own. Therefore, I see no reason to refuse his good intentions. What do you think?” Young Master Hai said with a smile.

”There is no reason to refuse,” Zheng Neng said lightly.

”I’ll keep an eye on Jing Mo’s actions,” Demon Monarch Anzhi said.
