Jun Changxiao was a troublemaker. He’d caused so much trouble that Taixuan Elder was still bound in a cage, and now he’d also dragged Tonggu Zhenren in, making him carry the massive pot of being misunderstood by various major tribes as the egg thief.
Carry the pot?
Not happening.
I only take responsibility for backing up my disciple!
Just as the major tribes were getting restless, Tonggu Zhenren summoned his friends to come assist!
The seven elders standing on the left came from Piaomiao Immortal Mountain, called the Piaomiao Seven Sages, possessing status no less than Immortal-rank sects.
The several powerhouses on the right came from various blessed cave-heavens. Although just lone cultivators, their strength was extremely formidable.
As for Tonggu Zhenren’s chess friend, he was the one with the highest cultivation among those who came to help, already standing at the peak Truth-Seeking Realm, with the dao title Qiye Zhenren.
The big shots standing in Wangu Sect’s martial arts arena were all top-tier powerhouses among lone cultivators. According to traditional story progression, they would typically only appear in the mid-to-late stages, but now it was a case of “one signal arrow brings thousands of troops and horses to meet.”
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Heavy auras shrouded the entire sect, as if they could shatter space!
Jun Changxiao was completely shocked.
With his current strength, he could barely establish a foothold in the Upper Realm, but was nothing more than a bottom-tier figure.
But now? Standing before him were all reclusive great experts. That feeling was like a newbie facing a group of max-level accounts!
The melon-eating spectators were equally shocked.
They had come this time merely to eat Lingwei True Sect’s melon.
As a result, the situation suddenly took a sharp turn, ultimately becoming a standoff between humanity’s top-tier powerhouses and various tribal powerhouses!
A major event!
A tremendous event!
If this wasn’t controlled properly, it could very well cause humanity and the major tribes to break relations, evolving into the great tribal war era of the past!
The war-torn era from tens of thousands of years ago—many warriors hadn’t experienced it, but learned from history books that it was an age when geniuses emerged in abundance, and also the darkest of times.
Later, after multiple negotiations between humanity and the major tribes, they finally reached consensus and signed peace agreements, which led to the current stable situation of peaceful coexistence.
“Sigh.”
Qiye Zhenren shook his head and said: “You still couldn’t stay aloof, you still got dragged in.”
A bitter smile appeared on Tonggu Zhenren’s face.
Earlier when the two were playing chess, they had discussed the matter of various major tribes becoming active, and he had expressed that his dao heart was stable and he wouldn’t get involved. But in the end, he still couldn’t escape.
Moreover, only now did he know that the tribes who had been dormant for so long were looking for stolen eggs, and the egg thief was precisely the disciple he’d just taken on. He simply couldn’t extricate himself even if he wanted to.
Since that was the case, he could only face it.
Tonggu Zhenren swept his gaze over the tribal powerhouses suspended in the sky, his voice cold as he said: “I’ll say it again—whoever dares touch my disciple, this old man will fight them to the death!”
His voice, supported by his aura, resounded throughout the entire firmament.
Though Dog Sheng was a huge troublemaker, this master was very responsible!
The powerhouses from the major tribes immediately frowned.
If it were just Tonggu Zhenren alone, they wouldn’t be too concerned, but now he’d summoned so many helpers, all at the top tier. If they fought, it would be equivalent to breaking with the human race!
“Tsk tsk.”
Just then, a voice came from higher in the firmament: “Old Tonggu, after all these years, you’re still so annoying.”
Tonggu Zhenren raised his head and said in a deep voice: “Azure Nether Dragon King?”
“Swoosh!”
“Swoosh!”
Space seemed to be violently torn by some force, and four figures wearing clothing made from precious materials gradually appeared.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Special and majestic auras instantly pressed down.
“The Four Dragon Kings!”
The gazes of the major tribal powerhouses flashed with shock.
Apart from the human race currently dominating the Upper Realm, the strongest belonged to the Dragon Tribe, and the appearance of the Four Dragon Kings representing tribal authority naturally shocked all the powerhouses present!
“We’re finished, we’re finished!”
Purple Scale Demon King howled internally, hurriedly turning his body around, afraid of being recognized as the culprit who stole dragon eggs!
“Brat!”
Though Tonggu Zhenren maintained a calm face, he transmitted: “You even stole dragon eggs?”
“Didn’t steal them!”
Jun Changxiao collapsed.
The system stole eggs, he carried the pot—nothing to say about that.
But he could say with a clear conscience: I, Jun Changxiao, have never stolen dragon eggs!
Indeed.
Dog Sheng never stole dragon eggs, but Purple Scale Demon King did.
Now as a Wangu Sect hall master, as sect master he couldn’t escape—he had to carry this pot.
Everyone thought Taixuan Elder and Tonggu Zhenren were the pot-carriers, but if you calculated carefully, Jun Changxiao was the true pot-carrying warrior, and he carried them justifiably, carried them without any issues.
…
The major tribes surrounding Wangu Sect was already troublesome enough, but now the Dragon Tribe’s Four Dragon Kings had arrived, and the murderous aura gathering in the air became increasingly intense.
Jun Changxiao collapsed.
Originally it was just Lingwei True Sect coming to cause trouble—why had the situation escalated to an uncontrollable level!
Dog Sheng standing behind the big shots was nothing more than a newbie player currently grinding and leveling up, suddenly facing max-level players ranked in the entire server. He really couldn’t handle it.
Of course.
The big shots present had already automatically ignored him.
To be precise, ever since the major tribes appeared, they hadn’t taken Jun Changxiao seriously. What they cared about was Tonggu Zhenren, after all he was one of humanity’s top-tier forces.
“Big brother, the Four Dragon Kings have arrived. I’m afraid we can’t complete the task the High Priest gave us!”
“Damn it!”
Long Teng and Long Fei, who had sneaked to Wangu Immortal Mountain, looked completely devastated.
The two had come this time on the High Priest’s orders to secretly take away the awakened Dragon Emperor. They’d finally determined the location, but then the Four Dragon Kings arrived right after.
Tonggu Zhenren said coolly: “Why do you four have time to run here?”
“Hmph.”
Azure Nether Dragon King sneered and said: “We’ve come to welcome the Dragon Emperor. If you know what’s good for you, hand him over quickly.”
“Dragon Emperor?”
Tonggu Zhenren and Qiye Zhenren furrowed their brows.
The Dragon Emperor was the Dragon Tribe’s highest ruler. Hadn’t he always been in the Dragon Domain? Four Dragon Kings coming to Fengqi Immortal Mountain to welcome him—were their brains broken?
“Master.”
Jun Changxiao transmitted: “My contract beast is a five-clawed dragon.”
Upon hearing this, Tonggu Zhenren nearly toppled over.
The sect disciples’ contract beasts were all demonic beasts valued by various tribes, which was already incredible enough. But now his disciple’s contract beast was actually a five-clawed dragon representing imperial authority—did it have to be so exaggerated!
“Brat!”
Tonggu Zhenren rebuked: “And you still say you didn’t steal dragon eggs!”
“It really wasn’t stolen by this disciple!” Jun Changxiao collapsed.
Tonggu Zhenren didn’t rebuke him further, but looked at the Four Dragon Kings and said coolly: “According to the agreement established long ago, your various tribes must not enter the world without authorization. So if there are any problems, you can find the Realm Hall, rather than coming here to threaten my disciple!”
Good thing the Realm Hall people hadn’t arrived yet, otherwise they would definitely cough up blood.
Your disciple caused the trouble, you as his master carrying the pot is one thing, but you actually want to shift the pot to us? This is way too much bullying!
“Don’t worry.”
The Thunder Ridge Tribe powerhouse said coldly: “We will definitely go to the Realm Hall to demand justice. For now, let those who signed contracts all commit suicide.”
