"Why do you say that, my two elder brothers?"
Bai Cang remained as calm as an old dog, not taking the two men's words to heart at all.
But on the surface, he still put on an expression of "being terrified".
"Why are you so flamboyant in your actions?"
The mist-blowing man's tone was half soothing and half blaming.
"Don't you understand such a simple principle as 'wealth should not be flaunted'?"
Tunyun Jun, however, said with a cold face, "Someone reported that the spiritual items you sent were all secretly hidden, and that you have ill intentions and want to ruin the cultivation of the cultivators of Yangshen Heaven."
Rumors are flying everywhere now, and some are even going so far as to tell the Emperor!
First of all, I want to clarify: this is not a rumor!
I added the ingredients myself, do you think I don't know if there's a problem?
Bai Cang sneered inwardly, but on the surface he still feigned fear and unease, "This, this, what should we do?"
"My two elder brothers, I, Jin Xi, swear to Heaven that I have absolutely not done anything wrong. I beg you, my two elder brothers, to put in a good word for me before the Emperor!"
In fact, Bai Cang had long anticipated that they would never discover the tricks he had played.
Let alone them, even if Yang Dingtian were to see it, it would definitely be considered an "ordinary" spiritual material, and he wouldn't be able to spot any problems.
After all, the "Blood Nightmare Demon" was originally formless and shapeless, and it had been enlightened by Bai Cang with the supreme divine power of "manipulating creation", completely transforming into another form.
As long as Bai Cang doesn't resort to underhanded tactics, these will be the purest spiritual materials.
No matter what testing method is used, it is impossible to reach a second conclusion.
Bai Cang absolutely refused to believe that his high-profile actions would arouse suspicion and lead to the inspection of the spiritual materials he had sent out, such as the Taiyin Moon Flame.
In fact, it is estimated that most people, unless they are completely idiotic, would use various means and channels to conduct various tests.
The fact that nothing has happened so far indicates that they haven't detected any problems.
As for Tunyun and Tuwu, their back-and-forth, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, was nothing more than an attempt to test Bai Cang and squeeze some benefits out of him!
As expected, upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief.
Even the last trace of doubt in my heart has vanished.
After all, they've already brought out the image of an "Emperor".
If "Taoist Jinxi" had something to hide, he could never be so "calm."
Indeed, Bai Cang's displayed emotions were "fear and unease".
However, this "fear" and "unease" are entirely due to the "serious consequences" they mentioned, and are completely different from the reaction of feeling guilty.
They can still distinguish that!
In this way, they can enjoy Bai Cang's "tribute" without worry!
However, on the surface, the two boys, Swallowing Clouds and Spitting Mist, did not show any signs of being "reassured"; instead, they became even more serious.
"Tell me honestly, what exactly is going on with all this stuff?"
The Cloud-Swallowing Lord said coldly, "If you can't explain yourself clearly, next time the Emperor himself might come to question you!"
Tuwujun, however, looked "worried" and "concerned." "Brother Jinxi, we hit it off immediately. How can we just sit idly by?"
But if we don't understand some things, we might get into trouble, right?
If this were to escalate to the Emperor's ears, it would be too late!
Tunyun Jun sneered again, "Don't try to fool people. There are quite a few people who have switched allegiance from the Five Elements Grotto Heaven, or even from the Golden Radiance Grotto Heaven, under the Emperor's command."
"I've never seen anyone so generous!"
The two actors were quite skilled, but compared to Bai Cang, the "King of All Heavens," they were still far behind.
It's not fair to call it showing off one's limited skills before an expert; it's more like trying to teach a master swordsman how to use a large axe in front of a great master.
So he immediately delivered an "Oscar-worthy" performance, despite all the hesitation and agonizing.
After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I dare not hide it from my two elder brothers. These spiritual items were actually what I plundered from the entire Golden Glory Cave before I left, to bribe the people of Yangshen Heaven and ask the Emperor to take action."
The two boys, Swallowing Clouds and Spitting Mist, widened their eyes slightly upon hearing this: Good heavens, they can even use public office for private gain like this?
This guy is incredibly audacious!
Immediately, their shock turned into heartache: Our money, that's all our money!
The thought that the benefits that should have been theirs to keep all to themselves were now being distributed to others by Bai Cang, who treated them like a benevolent benefactor.
The two, Tunyun and Tuwu, couldn't help but feel so heartbroken that they couldn't breathe.
"So, you've been cultivating a wide network of connections and building a faction all this time, hoping to rely on them to help you obtain the wondrous methods of heaven and man?"
In a moment of impulsiveness, Tunyun Jun couldn't help but mock, "Then you've entered the wrong temple and worshipped the wrong god. Instead of seeking out the person who can truly help you, you're grasping at straws when you're sick."
That's incredibly foolish; it will only push things in the direction you least want to go!
At this point, Tunyun Jun finally tore off the veil of "instant friendship and brotherhood," revealing his greedy and ferocious fangs.
Bai Cang, of course, understood the implication in the other party's words.
However, he had absolutely no interest in the so-called "divine methods of heaven and man".
Naturally, they wouldn't actually have any irreplaceable desire for Tunyun and Tuwu.
On the contrary, the other party's greed can easily cause unforeseen complications and ruin one's plans.
As a result, the smile on Bai Cang's face gradually faded.
Then he said calmly, "Brother Tunyun, what do you mean by this?"
Could it be that someone was too easy to talk to, making you think I'm a lamb to the slaughter?
Before Tunyunjun could speak, Bai Cang's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "I have fought with Yangshentian for many years and have stained my hands with the blood of many Yangzhen cultivators. I don't care about taking a few more lives."
"If anyone dares to stand in my way to immortality, they shouldn't blame me for being ruthless!"
Upon hearing this, Tunyun Jun instinctively shouted angrily, "What do you mean? Are you threatening me?"
Bai Cang's fierce glint vanished, and he simply looked at the other man calmly. "I'm just reminding you, brother: the most deadly fight is one fought by a cornered beast!"
For some reason, Tunyun and Tuwu felt a sudden jolt of fear in their hearts.
Although Bai Cang actually wanted to portray the ferocity of someone who is "at the end of their rope".
However, his ruthlessness in killing countless people, and his indifference to human life from the bottom of his heart.
It gave the two of them the feeling of being targeted by a top predator, and they felt a chill run from their tailbone straight to the top of their head.
"Brother, please don't misunderstand, Tunyun had no such intention!"
Seeing this, Mist-Spitting Lord quickly advised, "He just wanted to remind you that a great battle is approaching, and the Transformation Pool is of great importance. It will not be opened easily, and he didn't want you to waste any more resources."
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang's heart stirred, but he remained outwardly calm.
He simply stared at Tunyun Jun in silence, a sight that sent chills down Tunyun Jun's spine.
"I was just joking. You wouldn't really be angry with me, would you, my dear brother?"
Tunyun Jun forced out an awkward, stiff smile. "Actually, I've come here today because there's something crucial I want to remind you, my dear brother."
I never expected this to cause a misunderstanding. Please, my dear brother, don't take it to heart!
[Thanks to "You Pengju", please give me a free gift!]
