Chapter 114: The Death of the 9th Infant
As one of the few strange beasts that was familiar with Bai Ze, Huang Cheng realized that Bai Ze was secretly preparing to restart the gravity restriction formation.
Not long ago, they were a group of monks from the Great Brahma Realm, resting here and had never taken a single step away from the area where the formation was located.
In an instant, Huang Cheng seemed to realize that as long as he or other strange beasts dared to try to interfere with Linghu Chong's decision, Bai Ze would activate the formation without hesitation.
Huang Cheng was full of confusion and couldn't understand why things had turned out to this point.
Qiongqi shook his head like a rattle, indicating that he had no intention of stopping Xia Zhongnan. Tianma and Zhuque seemed hesitant, and finally sighed, indicating that they would not take any action. Chongming Bird closed its eyes from beginning to end, as if it was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world.
Bai Ze heaved a sigh of relief and said, "If any of you try to interfere and stop him today, our alliance will be destroyed in an instant."
Tianma asked in doubt: "It's not that serious, right?"
Bai Ze replied: "The truth is probably more serious than what I said. It is not easy to lead more than 200 monsters to escape from this secret realm of the immortal mansion. It is even more difficult to make these monsters, which have been scattered for a long time, obey orders, not to mention that there will be many obstacles in the future.
I don't know why this human god monk has made such a great determination to take on this matter, but no matter where his determination comes from, if even our team cannot agree with him and share the same mind and purpose, how can he continue to move forward?"
Huang Cheng defended himself: "We don't mean to oppose him, we just want to give him some advice. Isn't it okay to give him some suggestions?"
Bai Ze responded, "Of course it's OK to make suggestions, but it depends on what kind of matters they involve. It's about whether we can successfully escape from the Immortal Palace, so we should all work together. But what about Jiuying's current actions? Knowing that the woman is Linghu Chong's friend, it dared to attack her. Do you think we can still tolerate the existence of such a traitor? If you insist on protecting Jiuying's life, put yourself in Linghu Chong's shoes and think about it. If you were in Linghu Chong's position, would you still be willing to move forward?"
Xia Zhongnan was doing his best to fight against Jiuying and did not hear this conversation. If he knew about Bai Ze's actions, he would definitely like Bai Ze more and praise him for his ability to distinguish right from wrong.
This is a matter of principle. If Xia Zhongnan can let go of Jiuying who hurt Xu Qian, he will no longer be Xia Zhongnan. If there are strange beasts that insist on obstructing him, he will resolutely break with those beasts completely.
Huang Cheng, Tianma and Zhuque all fell silent, watching Jiuying beg for mercy, but he was still beaten speechless until he finally died.
Witnessing such a powerful beast being stricken, they also felt grief deep in their hearts. However, all this eventually turned into indifference. Bai Ze's analysis was like a wake-up call for them, making them deeply aware of their current situation: if they took the wrong step, what awaited them would be an abyss of no return.
In the past, they may have had a little fantasy, but now it has been completely cut off. Their fate has long been closely linked to Xia Zhongnan's fate and cannot be separated. Although Xia Zhongnan can choose to practice alone, these beasts, even if they are extremely powerful and numerous, cannot escape his protection.
At this moment, only Xu Qian was dumbfounded. The scene before her made her intoxicated and unbelievable. Tu Shan Fang'er actually showed her true form, transformed into a beautiful nine-tailed fox. This change shocked Xu Qian deeply, even surpassing the scene when Xia Zhongnan saved her with the great Dao sage technique when the Nine Infants attacked her.
Seeing Xu Qian's stunned look, Xia Zhongnan, who had used the Great Dao Saint Technique to defeat Jiuying, thought that she had met with an accident, and hurried forward to ask with concern: "Miss Xu, are you in any trouble?"
Xu Qian pointed at Tu Shan Fang'er who was nearby and said incoherently: "Fox...fox...vix spirit?"
Xia Zhongnan replied: "You have said more than once that Tu Shan Fang'er is a 'fox spirit', why do you feel strange about this?"
Xu Qian explained anxiously: "The 'fox spirit' I mentioned is not this, how come you don't understand?"
At this time, Tu Shan Fang'er reappeared in human form, walked slowly towards the two, and asked in confusion: "Sister Xu Qian, what are you talking about? Why did you mention 'this vixen' and 'that vixen'?"
Xu Qian suddenly felt extremely embarrassed. She circled around Tu Shan Fang'er and asked, "Sister Fang'er, how did you achieve this change?"
Tushan Fang'er didn't want to reveal her identity as a nine-tailed fox in front of Xia Zhongnan. When Xu Qian mentioned this, she couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied. However, Xia Zhongnan interrupted and said, "Miss Xu, it was Fang'er who saved your life just now, and you haven't thanked her yet."
Xu Qian was born into a prominent family. Although she was sometimes willful and arrogant, she knew the importance of the "life-saving grace". She immediately bowed respectfully to Tu Shan Fang'er and said gratefully: "Qian'er thanks Sister Fang'er for her great kindness. If you need me, Qian'er will definitely go all out to serve you!"
Tu Shan Fang'er smiled and responded: "Sister Xu Qian, as long as you don't always call me 'fox spirit' in the future, it will be fine. In fact, I envy you for being born into the human race..."
As she spoke, Tu Shanfang'er couldn't help but let out a sigh.
At this time, Bai Ze stepped forward and said, "We have finished our work here, and we have found Miss Xu. We should go to the next place as soon as possible."
Xia Zhongnan nodded in agreement: "That's right. Every minute we stay here, there is a possibility that more cultivators will break into this place through the external teleportation array. We must hurry up. As for the remains of the Nine Infants, it should be okay for me to take it away, right?"
The remains of Jiuying are full of treasures. Xia Zhongnan couldn't bear to waste them, but he was worried that putting them away directly would cause disgust among other exotic beasts.
Bai Ze looked at the remains of the Nine Infants lying on the ground like a pile of mud and sighed: "Since it is gone, you can take it away. Leaving it here will only benefit others."
The differences between races are like this, each has its own values. Humans collect the remains of alien beasts as treasures, while some alien beasts regard humans as prey.
Seeing this, the strange beasts watched Xia Zhongnan approach the remains of Jiuying, and with a slight wave of his hand, the huge body disappeared without a trace and was put into his storage ring.
After collecting the remains of the Nine Infants, Xia Zhongnan said, "The next step is for us to continue heading north to the Dan Ding Pavilion."
There was no way of knowing where Gu Xiu Zhang had been teleported to, so he could only travel through all the heavens and worlds to search one by one, not wanting to miss any possible clues.
Previously, Xia Zhongnan arranged for the flying monster beast to carry one person or one monster. Now that Xu Qian joined, Qiongqi had to carry an extra person on its back.
Xu Qian was full of surprise as she stepped onto the broad back of Qiongqi. She was enjoying the strange feeling of freshness, but she couldn't help asking Xia Zhongnan about his recent experiences. She was still brooding over the fact that the portal accidentally separated her from Xia Zhongnan, and felt that she had missed many "fun and thrilling" adventures.
Arriving at the northernmost end of the Lingcao Garden, a thick fairy mist filled the air.
Various monsters descended from the sky and stepped into the mysterious fog.
