Chapter 165: Wish List? (1/2)
”Elder He, this isn't a place for fighting. Please be magnanimous.”
The conflict between Elder He and Pavilion Master Sun made many people shudder in fear.
Which Nascent Soul cultivators did not value their reputation?
Now that Elder He's disciple had been attacked, there were already quite a few times when he wanted to kill the other party. However, Pavilion Master Sun stood in front of him and was suppressed several times in front of everyone. It could be said that he had been greatly embarrassed and was badly offended.
With the conflict between these two, even if they directly fought on the spot, no one would be surprised.
However, the conflict of two Nascent Souls was not so simple. If they really fought, everyone present would inevitably be affected.
Previously, in the battle between several Golden Core cultivators in Cloud Stream City, they had directly razed a city to the ground.
Nascent Soul was far stronger than Golden Core. That destructive power could even be called a natural disaster.
If a Nascent Soul cultivator attacked with their full strength, the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm might suffer great losses.
This mystic realm was related to the benefits of the entire cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region. Perhaps it was a huge opportunity that could raise the entire Great Mountain Region to a higher level.
Therefore, they could fight anywhere but here. When the matter was about to blow up, someone still came out to speak.
It was an elder who held authority in the Hundred Tempering Mountain. They valued this mystic realm and had large transactions with the Immortal Ascension Pavilion all year round. Both parties had a good relationship, so they came out to ease the atmosphere.
With this interruption, the Immortal Ascension Pavilion's Pavilion Master seized the opportunity and used some unknown method to escape from Elder He's palm, appearing beside Huangfu Tai and the others.
”Young Master Chu, can you release Elder Jin first?”
The Hundred Tempering Mountain Elder asked Chu Yunxuan. For a Golden Core cultivator to be suppressed here like this was too ugly.
As the successor to the Valley Master, Chu Yunxuan had to consider more things when faced with problems. No matter when, he could not act excessively. He thought for a moment before speaking.
”I can release her, but you must give our Scripture Storage Valley an explanation for what happened today. Otherwise, my seal will land on the entrance of the Immortal Ascension Pavilion!”
His words were undoubtedly very unyielding.
This was the attitude that all four great sects, including the Scripture Storage Valley, had towards the outside. They could not be provoked, so they had to tell others from all aspects that they were the boss of the region.
However, Pavilion Master Sun, who was opposite him, felt uncomfortable when he heard this. It was one thing to be suppressed by Elder He in front of the higher-ups of the other sects.
But now, he was being threatened by a person of the younger generation. This caused him to feel extremely displeased.
However, the situation was not in his favor. The other party was a top sect in the Great Mountain Region. Unless the headquarters sent out a large number of cultivators, how could he, a mere branch, be their match?
If the headquarters took action, it would be an invasion by external forces. The nature of the situation would change.
How could the other sects in the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region sit idle?
There was no choice but to endure it!
”Hmph! Of course.” Chu Yunxuan nodded and put away the seal after hearing his answer.
”Jiang Li, tell me what happened.” Elder He held back his anger and walked to Jiang Li's side.
In such a situation where both sides were confronting each other, naturally, whoever spoke first would have the advantage. At the critical moment, they could even control the rhythm, so he naturally could not let the other party have the opportunity to speak first.
Of course, Jiang Li could let the other party slander him first, then use evidence and words to turn the tables and slap their faces. It would look more satisfying and more righteous.
However, they were the ones with the advantage now. Was it not comfortable to bully others? Why did he have to mistreat himself?
Thus, he started from the encounter at the Misty Mountain Range and exaggerated everything.
Actually, this was not a big issue.
Everyone was a competitor in the competition. Huangfu Tai made the first move, and Jiang Li retaliated. There was only the difference between winning and losing, and there was no right or wrong.
The problem was that after leaving the competition venue, even if the Immortal Ascension Pavilion wanted to retrieve the artifacts, they should have used the sect's channels to negotiate the price and not directly pull a Core Formation realm cultivator over to threaten him. This method was a big taboo.
Taking a step back, if they had succeeded and took the artifacts back, they could bring Jiang Li back to his sect and apologize to them.
Looking at it this way, after solving the problem of the younger generation, they did not injure anyone during the process and even came to apologize after the incident.
Ordinary people could not find much fault with it.
However, this Core Formation elder was not capable enough to catch him. While he was still chasing after Jiang Li, he was hit by a group of cultivators who rushed over to help.
The key was that their backing was not as strong as the other party. If they could still explain it clearly, it would be strange.
Under Jiang Li's words, the matter did not become too outrageous.
He did not want his sect to start a war with the Immortal Ascension Pavilion. That would not be beneficial to him.
Jiang Li only said that after the other party tricked him into coming here, they wanted to kill him because they could not take back the artifacts. In the current situation, there was no one to deny what he was saying.
His words were reasonable and convincing.
If they did not have killing intent, why would Jiang Li be willing to pay a huge price at such a critical moment during the competition period and burn his blood essence to escape?
Then, it was the victim's defense. At this time, the acting skills and talking skills of the people from the Immortal Ascension Pavilion could be of use.
If the four of them cooperated seamlessly, they might really be able to turn the tables and cook up a great story.
But now, the four victims were also Jiang Li's own puppets.
This caused their defense to be extremely weak. When Pavilion Master Sun heard what they said, his expression darkened.
He did not know that his subordinate was actually so stupid to not even know how to lie.
The result of a face-to-face confrontation was that Jiang Li stood on the high ground of justice and received the support of most of the other sects.
Of course, the reason why the other sects were so supportive was because the few leaders from Shu Mountain spoke up for Jiang Li.
It was very normal for two top sects to stand together and cause a lopsided situation.
”Pavilion Master Sun, looks like the truth is already clear. You can't take these people away. However, we can make the decision to return their corpses to you.”
Elder He sneered and immediately wanted to kill again. His attitude was very obvious. If his disciple suffered a loss, others would not have a good time either.
The cultivators from the other sects did not say anything else. Instead, they felt that the Immortal Ascension Pavilion deserved it.
The Immortal Ascension Pavilion had just exposed a serious problem. They had gone to the headquarters outside the Great Mountain Region to seek external help. This was akin to stirring up everyone's displeasure.
This matter had not even been resolved, and now this situation had developed to the point where their foreign aid tried to kill a local genius. Whether or not it was instigated by someone, this was a very vile act.
”Elder He, wait a moment. Although they are in the wrong, their crimes do not warrant death.”
”How about this? Brother Jiang Li, if you have anything you need, feel free to tell me. My Immortal Ascension Pavilion will definitely satisfy you as compensation. Please forgive their recklessness.”
”If you like those artifacts, you can keep them. If you don't need them, we will redeem them at a high price.”
Pavilion Master Sun stopped Elder He again, and then he forced a smile on his face before turning around and starting to convince Jiang Li.
It had to be said that Pavilion Master Sun's move was very clever.
Jiang Li was the victim of this matter. He could not deal with Elder He, so it was the same outcome if Jiang Li willingly forgave him.
