362 With the little ancestor protecting me, nothing will happen
Thinking back to the large group of combined demon kings who chased the second elder today, as well as Mu Zisong and Ao Yu, two demon kings in the tribulation period, Shen Muse asked sincerely: "Does every high-level cultivator in the demon domain have a grudge against our Tianshui Sect?"
"That's about it." The second elder yawned. She was a little tired because of over-consumption of spiritual energy.
The fifth elder denied it: "Nonsense, Jing Yunpeng has no grudge against us."
Jing Yunpeng is the patriarch of the Qingpeng clan. He is at the peak of the fusion stage and has a good reputation in the demon realm.
The second elder had never seen this man before and became interested: "Is he good-looking?"
"You're not as good as me." The Sixth Elder straightened his back confidently, fully demonstrating his strong physique as a physical practitioner, earning a roll of the eyes from the Second Elder.
A rabbit doesn't eat grass near its burrow. The brother and sister grew up together, and the second elder looks at them like little kids.
As for the Great Elder, he is an “old man” whom the Second Elder dislikes.
Ning Yao has been educated by his elders recently. Not only has his filter for his own sect been shattered, but he even looks at his own sect through tinted glasses from time to time.
It was rare to hear someone who had no grudge against the Tianshui Sect. He even found it incredible: "Our sect's disciples are so powerful, how come no one has ever challenged Senior Jing Yunpeng?"
"Not really. Old Seven used to like to spar with others, but Jing Yunpeng just didn't like to fight. Old Seven heard that he was quite powerful, so he forced him to fight. He offended him at the time, but he didn't seek revenge on Old Seven afterwards." said the Fifth Elder.
It is very common for monks to spar with each other, especially high-level monks. Friendly sparring can enhance each other's strength, and many people have become friends through fighting.
There are very few people like Jing Yunpeng who avoid fighting to the extreme.
"Is the reason he doesn't come to seek revenge because he is not good enough?" Chu Linfeng made a reasonable guess.
The fifth elder said he didn't know: "After winning the competition, the seventh elder felt that Jing Yunpeng didn't use his full strength, and wanted to fight him again. But Jing Yunpeng never agreed, and even avoided the seventh elder. It's weird."
The second elder narrowed his eyes and said, "Old Seven's fighting instincts are quite accurate. This fellow must be hiding his true strength. Most demon cultivators like to show off their strength. He is deliberately hiding his abilities. Maybe there is something wrong."
At this time, Qiongqi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly muttered, "He is not the only one in the demon realm who is unwilling to fight."
Ning Yao was surprised that he suddenly interrupted: "Senior, who else is avoiding fighting?"
Qiongqi was about to open his mouth, but suddenly he didn't know what to say.
The name was on the tip of his tongue, but he just couldn't remember it.
There is a problem, absolutely there is a problem!
Qiongqi recalled bit by bit according to the feeling that had just flashed through his mind, and a vague picture of clear lakes and emerald green forests intertwined emerged in his mind.
He didn't dare to rush and continued to recall the scenes slowly.
A gentle breeze blew through the quiet forest, and leaves and weeds rubbed against each other, making a rustling sound. Tiny mayflies floating in the air hid under the leaves, gently fluttering their translucent wings.
The memory came to an abrupt end, Qiongqi jumped up and shouted loudly: "Mayfly!"
Ning Yao was so frightened that he even forgot to use the secret sound transmission that Qiongqi had taught him before, and asked directly: "What mayfly?"
His voice attracted the attention of others, and seeing that everyone was confused, Jiang Xin explained considerately: "It was the Qiongqi in the eldest brother's body who just shouted 'Mayfly'. What's wrong with Mayfly?" The latter sentence she asked directly to the Qiongqi's real body.
All the tiger hair on Qiongqi's body exploded, and his huge body couldn't help but tremble. He muttered to himself with trembling teeth: "I remember... He is dead... dead..."
Ning Yao didn't understand: "Who died?"
The cat-frightening scene flashed in his mind again and again, and Qiongqi was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
"What's going on?" Jiang Xin asked in a baby voice, "Don't be afraid, just tell me slowly."
Through Ning Yao's sight, Qiongqi could see Jiang Xin raising her little head and looking at him seriously.
This small figure gave him an unprecedented sense of security at this moment.
Looking around, Qiongqi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Feng Hen is dead."
Ning Yao was shocked and repeated this to everyone in disbelief: "Senior Qiongqi said Feng Hen is dead."
"What?" The Fifth Elder was shocked. No matter how he thought about it, it seemed impossible. "Why didn't I hear any movement?"
"Did the Mayfly Clan block the news?" Zhao Shi asked.
The second elder shook his head. "Mayflies are born in the morning and die in the evening. Their lifespan is too short. Over the years, they have only cultivated a few Void Refinement Stage demons with the help of Feng Hen, the Demon King of the Tribulation Stage. There is not even a decent Fusion Stage demon. They have the motive to block the news, but they don't have the ability to do so."
Zhao Shi didn't understand. Even someone as socially phobic as him couldn't help but ask, "Wouldn't it be possible to keep it a secret from the outside world if we just said that Senior Feng Hen was in seclusion and not seeing guests? Could it be that there is Senior Feng Hen's soul lamp in the outside world?"
"It's not the soul lamp's problem, but the death of a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. His entire spiritual energy returns to the heaven and earth, which makes a huge noise and is impossible to conceal. Unless a secret treasure is used to contain this vitality and spiritual energy in advance." The second elder paused and asked the fifth elder, "Does the Mayfly Clan have a secret treasure of this level?"
The fifth elder thought that they couldn't have done it: "To hide this movement, we have to use a secret treasure of the Tribulation Stage. This thing is very difficult to refine. Feng Hen is not good at refining weapons, so he can only entrust others. There are only a handful of Tribulation Stage weapon cultivators in the Tiancheng Spirit Realm. If someone entrusts them to refine such a secret treasure, the news will definitely leak out."
Chu Linfeng asked with the moral integrity of a conscientious businessman: "What if they agree to keep it a secret?"
"I'm not saying that these weapon cultivators will reveal the secret on their own initiative, but the appearance of such a secret treasure will definitely attract thunder tribulation. Moreover, the natural materials and treasures needed for refining are extremely precious. If someone purchases them or fights for them in the secret realm, many forces will receive the news and then deduce something."
"According to the information we have in the Tianshui Sect, apart from ourselves, only a few major forces have accumulated materials that can be used to refine such a secret treasure. We are keeping it for our own use, and they have the same idea. The Mayfly Clan can't offer a higher price to make these people give up such a top-grade secret treasure."
As professionals, the fifth elder gave a thorough analysis.
Jiang Xin was more straightforward and asked Qiongqi directly: "How do you know Feng Hen is dead?"
Feeling Qiongqi's fear, she stretched out her little hand and stroked the air, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the sealed Qiongqi actually felt a little warmth spreading on his back.
His exploded tiger hair was gradually smoothed out, and the fear that came from nowhere was suppressed bit by bit.
With the little ancestor protecting me, nothing should happen.
Qiongqi swallowed his saliva, calmed his mind, and those vague memories became clearer little by little.
He spoke slowly in a hoarse voice, "After I was promoted to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, I wanted to unify the Monster Realm. In order to establish my authority in the Monster Clan, I wanted to challenge Feng Hen. As long as I can defeat this recognized strong man in the Monster Realm, I will be the sole ruler of the Monster Realm. I sent him a letter of challenge as usual, but he refused."
With the protection of the little ancestor, Qiongqi's voice reached everyone's ears directly.
The second elder recalled the news he got from his friends: "I heard that Feng Hen has a gentle personality, is very popular in the Monster Domain, and has extraordinary strength. Therefore, when he was the strongest in the Monster Domain, all the monsters were very convinced. In the early days, people often challenged him, but they all lost. In the later days, his position was stable, and no one challenged him anymore."
Qiongqi nodded: "Yes, when I went to challenge him, he hadn't fought for a long time. In the early days, no matter who sent him a letter of challenge, he would accept the challenge. I felt very strange after being rejected, and I sent him many letters of challenge without giving up, but they were all rejected. Later on, I couldn't even send a letter of challenge. I was really angry, so I sneaked into the Mayfly Palace."
"I originally thought that it didn't matter if I was discovered, as I could have a great fight with Feng Hen to see who was stronger. But I actually managed to sneak into the Mayfly Palace without anyone noticing me along the way."
"I felt something was wrong at the time, but since I was already here, I was unwilling to leave. So I hid my body and walked into the Mayfly Palace to continue looking for Feng Hen."
"Who knew that I couldn't find Fenghen after searching the entire palace. In the end, I only found a piece of mayfly stone deep in the palace."
"A broken piece of mayfly stone..."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three elders changed drastically.
