Chapter 838 - Retreat (1/2)

Meanwhile, the Black Dog rushed towards the worried White Fox and wagged its tail. It then pressed on the Dragon God handphone proudly.

“The 24-hour Summoning Countdown has begun…”

After that, Vigilante A showed up in front of the Black Dog.

The Black Dog quickly turned off the phone and beckoned. “Master, they’re here.”

Vigilante A gazed towards the distance and nodded. He stood aside silently without moving forwards.

The White Fox saw that and her face lit up. The Black Dog might be plain-looking, but its talisman was undoubtedly effective.

Just now, it did not feel any spatial fluctuations. The next minute, its Prince Charming appeared.

This talisman used for summoning the Dragon God was rare and invaluable.

If it could get its paws on it…

Vigilante A was oblivious to the thoughts of the fox and the dog. Instead, he observed the ongoing confrontation from a high vantage point.

Fang Ning understood Sir System’s thoughts. There was no benefit to intervening right now, so they might as well wait around.

At the same time, the dark figure displayed a vexed expression, but he did not make a move.

He simply remarked coldly. “Aren’t you worried about the demise of your clan? Apart from the saints, no one can cure the disease that I create!”

The elder on the mountain peak did not seem to be bothered. “Don’t make me laugh with your lame threats! The people can just be turned into Spirit Cultivators. Without a physical body, there’s nothing that your disease can do!”

The dark figure was stunned.

His tactic was naturally useless to an obstinate individual.

What an irrepressible hero!

Fang Ning thought to himself in awe as he listened to the conversation.

If it were him, he would be incapable of doing such a thing.

After all, that was Shang Qingshan and his clan. He could simply give up his disciples and turn all of them into Spirit Cultivators without a care in the world.

Spirits were spirits and they could not enjoy human pleasures.

Fang Ning had become a Spirit for about three or four years, so he was very familiar with this feeling.

If not for the effectiveness of Sir System’s pills, which allowed souls to taste food, he would have lost his appetite.

Moreover, according to insider info, having an appetite was a huge enjoyment to deities as well.

It was no different from spending one’s whole life in prison if one lost the ability to enjoy such pleasures.

Fang Ning could never allow himself to turn people close to him into Spirit Cultivators incapable of experiencing the joys of being human.

As for a geezer like Shang Qingshan, he could make a decision like that without a hint of remorse. Obviously, this was not a choice to him, but the only option.

Finally, the white figure smiled and spoke. “Haha, Grandmaster Shang, don’t get so worked up. This arcane realm is crucial in helping me to reach illumination in this realm. If you’re willing to hand it over, I pledge on the Heavenly Axiom that I’ll help you become a god one day.”

“Hahaha, you think you can sweet-talk me after your threats failed to work? You think I’m an ignorant three-year-old? If you know what’s best for you, cure my clan’s disciples of this disease as soon as possible! Or else, don’t even think of becoming gods! The key to you becoming a god lies within my hands.” The face on the mountain peak laughed wickedly.

The two gods glanced at each other and sensed something.

Damn, how the tables have turned.

This old man had excellent tactics. He was indeed a force to be reckoned with!

Fang Ning was satisfied with the outcome. In the first place, the Grandmaster emphasized that he would not give in to threats and seized the upper hand. Then, he turned around and threatened the gods by throwing the difficult decision to them.

“Hey, this old man is defiant.” Sir System was surprised. “Didn’t you recruit an inside man last time to spy on him? That time, the inside man only revealed half of the story, saying that the gods don’t dare to set foot in the Azure Mountain, but he didn’t find out the reason why. It’s been a while and you haven’t followed up on him. You even mentioned that it’s related to a sunk cost? I think this matter is about to sink.”
