“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The Wangu Immortal Mountain, which had just calmed down, suddenly had rolling energy waves surging from all directions. They gradually gathered together, like a giant pot lid covering the entire Wangu Sect.
The sky darkened.
The atmosphere also became murderous.
Black and White Rakshasa, Elder Ding, Li Qingyang and the others all furrowed their brows.
This kind of enormous energy gathering in the sky definitely came with ill intent!
“We’re finished, we’re finished!”
The Taixuan Elder in the cage peered through the gaps and saw the terrifying formation gathering above. His heart roared: “This guy must have torn a hole in the heavens!”
Having been forced to take the blame too many times, he instantly understood that Dog Sheng must have caused trouble again—this time trouble of earth-shaking proportions!
In fact, Jun Changxiao himself wasn’t entirely clear on what was happening, but he remained exceptionally calm because… his master was standing right beside him.
Indeed.
Tonggu Zhenren hadn’t left.
However, as he looked up at the energy filled with various demonic auras, the expression on his face gradually became complicated.
“Swoosh!”
“Swoosh!”
Just then, from all four directions outside Wangu Immortal Mountain, streams of light seemingly tore through the void, flying over at incredible speed and hovering together above Wangu Sect.
The first to appear was the Thunder Ridge Tribe delegation.
They had sent three to five hundred members total, their bodies and gazes condensing lightning that represented anger.
The second to appear was the Divine Movement Tribe delegation, the third was the Profound Turtle Tribe delegation, the fourth… When nearly ten thousand powerhouses from various tribes gathered in a circular formation, the presented scene was even more spectacular than an Olympic opening ceremony!
“My heavens, could these be the rarely-seen-in-the-world various major tribes!”
The melon-eating spectators who hadn’t left nearly had their eyeballs pop out.
The Upper Realm was a world that embraced all rivers—it had the human race as well as other tribes, but the latter rarely appeared, so on the surface humans still held the dominant position. Now those tribal powerhouses, either directly manifesting their true forms or in humanoid shape, stood in midair, creating a visual effect that reached its peak!
“Audacious thief!”
The Thunder Ridge Tribe delegation leader roared angrily: “You dare steal beast eggs from our Thunder Ridge Tribe!”
Upon hearing this, the powerhouses from other tribal delegations were stunned.
So it wasn’t just their tribe whose eggs were stolen—there were… so many other victims, but there were way too many!
To be honest, the major tribes hadn’t contacted each other. They had just rushed over in unison after receiving signals, and only when they saw themselves surrounding Wangu Sect together did they feel quite surprised.
An obscure mountain peak, an obscure sect—suddenly staging a grand show of myriad tribes gathering wasn’t just surprising, it was absolutely shocking to the Upper Realm!
No matter what would happen next, this incident would definitely be widely circulated, would absolutely top the trending topics list, and might even occupy it for a very long time!
“…”
Jun Changxiao, who had been calm before, now had a completely collapsed expression.
From the words of that Thunder Ridge Tribe powerhouse, he instantly understood—the beast eggs in the Spirit Beast Pavilion, could they be like the Seven Profound Rosy Light incomplete manual and be…
“Ding! The system is entering temporary shutdown state!”
“Holy crap!”
Jun Changxiao cursed inwardly: “This bastard system is screwing me over again!”
Understood, understood!
All the beast eggs in the Spirit Beast Pavilion were stolen from various major tribes. This sudden gathering above Wangu Sect like an Olympic opening ceremony clearly meant they’d already determined he was the egg thief!
Wronged!
Greatly wronged!
The eggs were stolen by the system, they have nothing to do with me, Jun Someone!
Explaining at this point was useless, because no one would believe Dog Sheng was innocent.
So this pot was destined to be carried.
“Tonggu Zhenren.”
“Why are you here?”
A tribal powerhouse recognized this top-tier human powerhouse and asked.
“…”
Tonggu Zhenren fell silent.
At this moment, ten thousand alpacas were galloping through his heart.
Actually, when he discovered the Thunder Ridge Beast, he realized there might be trouble, but he didn’t take it seriously at all—because even if the Divine Movement Tribe was added, he could still hold the entire situation.
But now hundreds of tribes had arrived at once—this was really a bit too stimulating!
Understood!
The trouble his disciple encountered wasn’t from Lingwei True Sect, but from being surrounded by myriad tribes!
Tonggu Zhenren finally realized what his earlier premonition corresponded to, and wondered in his heart: Is it too late for me to leave now?
Too late.
Because Jun Changxiao spoke up: “He is my master!”
“Oh?”
The tribal powerhouses all looked at Tonggu Zhenren, their gazes flashing with anger. No wonder someone dared to steal their eggs—turns out they had a human expert backing them!
The eggs stolen by the system, the pot carried by Dog Sheng—not a big problem, because he knew how to shift blame!
“Swoosh! Swoosh!”
Invisible pots that only readers could see instantly stuck to Tonggu Zhenren’s back, stacking together to form a towering mountain!
Heavy!
So heavy he couldn’t breathe!
“Tonggu Zhenren, our Thunder Ridge Tribe has rarely entered the world in recent years and has always coexisted peacefully with your human race. Why would you steal beast eggs from our tribe!” the Thunder Ridge Tribe powerhouse angrily rebuked.
“Hmph.”
The Divine Movement Tribe powerhouse snorted coldly and said: “Back then we clearly established an agreement to coexist peacefully. Now a top-tier human powerhouse is stealing beast eggs from various tribes—is this blatantly violating the contract?”
“Bullying beasts too much!”
“This is intolerable!”
The powerhouses from various major tribes were filled with righteous indignation, clearly extremely angry about the egg theft.
Moreover, from their words it wasn’t hard to hear that they’d already determined the eggs were stolen by Tonggu Zhenren, because he had the capability to do so!
“Master!”
Jun Changxiao transmitted: “This disciple’s safety is in your hands!”
“…”
Elder Tonggu nearly cursed out loud!
You stirred up such huge trouble, why should your master carry the pot for you!
If Taixuan Elder could know his thoughts, he would definitely drill out from the cage gaps, walk up and shake hands in shared misery.
“Everyone.”
Tonggu Zhenren pointed over and said: “The eggs were stolen by my disciple. This old man won’t carry this pot!”
“Master, you…” Jun Changxiao clutched his chest, his face showing a pained expression. He truly felt hurt, because the master he trusted most had abandoned him!
Forget it, forget it.
Jun Changxiao smiled bitterly, then straightened his chest and said: “That’s right, I stole the eggs, it has nothing to do with my master!”
He could see that the trouble encountered this time was somewhat unprecedented. What he could do was not implicate Tonggu Zhenren. At worst… what should I do! Waiting online, urgent!
“Boy!”
A Thunder Ridge Tribe powerhouse pointed at Li Qingyang and roared: “You actually dared to sign a contract with our tribe’s most valued future heir!”
Actually, the major tribes might have just taken the stolen demonic beasts and left out of respect for Tonggu Zhenren, without escalating the conflict. But to have signed contracts—that was intolerable!
Ordinary demonic beasts living in the Upper Realm signing contracts with humans was commonplace, but major tribal demonic beasts, especially highly valued ones, signing contracts with humans—that was a serious problem!
The Divine Movement Tribe, Profound Turtle Tribe and other tribal powerhouses also realized their demonic beasts had signed contracts with humans and were hiding behind refusing to acknowledge them. Immediately their fury soared!
“A shameful disgrace!”
“Today if we don’t annihilate this sect, we swear we won’t rest!”
Tribal fury, killing intent rampant!
“This is troublesome!”
Jun Changxiao furrowed his brow.
“Host, don’t panic!” the system said. “These tribal demonic beasts have all signed life-bound contracts with the disciples. If they dare to attack, at worst we’ll perish together!”
“Holy crap!”
“Weren’t you shut down!”
“At the host’s most dangerous moment, how could I possibly abandon you!”
What is true affection? This! Is! It!
“Everyone.”
Just then, the silent Tonggu Zhenren stepped forward, standing in front of Jun Changxiao, his turbid gaze flashing coldly as he said: “Whoever dares touch my disciple, this old man will fight them to the death!”
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
His peak-level Truth-Seeking Realm aura fully released, instantly enveloping the entire Wangu Sect in a massive barrier.
“Master…”
Jun Changxiao truly cried.
Tonggu Zhenren had his back to him and said: “If you did something, you must admit it. Your master won’t carry the pot for you, because… I’ll only back you up!”
“Swoosh!”
“Swoosh!”
Suddenly, a vortex gathered above Wangu Sect, and overwhelming energy waves pressed down, completely permeating the martial arts arena. When everything settled, dozens of immortal-like human powerhouses stood before Tonggu Zhenren, among them his chess friend!
“Oh my goodness!”
“They’re all reclusive big shots!!”
