Chapter 26: The King of Bargains
The three of them were evenly matched in the fight with the King's Spirit Beast. Not wanting to drag the fight any further, Mo Jingxuan directly summoned his own Holy Spirit Beast.
“Aotian…”
"Awoo..." The Nine Nether White Tiger appeared beside him and roared at the Black Dragon King spirit beast.
Seeing this, Liu Ruxi immediately summoned the Holy Spirit Beast Snow Fox: "Snow White, come out!"
"Woo..." The snow fox also roared.
Under the pressure of the two holy spirit beasts, the king spirit beast was simply unable to move.
"Oh my god! The Seventh and Eighth Elders actually have high-level spiritual pets."
"Look, even the King Spirit Beast has been suppressed. Could it be that their Spirit Beasts are more powerful than the King Spirit Beast?"
"Could it be a higher level holy spirit beast..." someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.
When the disciples heard that the two had summoned the Holy Spirit Beast, they all shouted that the Seventh and Eighth Elders were very powerful.
Shi Lei was shocked to see that the spiritual pets summoned by the two were actually holy spirit beasts. You know, the higher the level of the spiritual beast, the less likely it is to easily make a contract with people.
Fortunately, he did not fall out with the two of them, otherwise if they summoned spirit beasts, he would be no match for them with his two fists.
"Bai Xue, Long Ao, come up." Mo Jingxuan and the other man shouted in unison.
"Ao..." The two holy spirit beasts immediately attacked the Black Dragon King's spirit beast.
But while they were busy dealing with the king spirit beast, Xiao Liyue had already sneaked into the lake with the help of Chi Yi, quickly picked up the water spirit lotus at the bottom of the lake, and then put it into the space.
Without anyone noticing, he sneaked back into the crowd.
But her every move was seen by Yu Fengchen, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. If his attention had not been on Xiao Liyue, he would not have noticed it.
The Black Dragon King Spirit Beast, which was in the middle of the fight, suddenly stopped moving because it sensed that the mark it had left on the Water Spirit Lotus had disappeared. It immediately roared in anger, "Damn cultivator, you stole the Water Spirit Lotus while I was fighting. How shameless!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Jingxuan and the others stopped what they were doing and looked towards the lake. Sure enough, there were only a few large leaves and the bare stems of the water lotus left on the lake.
“Who…? Who dares to privately swallow the Water Spirit Lotus!” Shi Lei said angrily.
The disciples present shook their heads, indicating that it was not them.
Mo Jingxuan and Liu Ruxi looked unhappy. They never expected this result. All their efforts were in vain.
Mu Linger shouted loudly: "Who is so bold as to secretly swallow the water spirit lotus? Hand it over quickly, otherwise you will be severely punished."
"It's not us! We don't know who it is?"
"Who is it? How dare you embezzle it? Are you trying to save your life?"
"It's not me anyway. I can't even get close to the lake with my level of cultivation."
All the disciples began to prove their innocence, but no one admitted it.
Liu Ruxi searched for Xiao Liyue in the crowd, but saw her hiding far away, the farthest from the lake. Then she thought about her cultivation level and realized it was impossible for her to steal the Water Spirit Lotus from such a distance without anyone noticing, so she looked away.
"Xuan, is there any expert nearby?"
Mo Jingxuan thought that the Water Spirit Lotus could be stolen right under his nose, and it could only be done by someone with higher cultivation than himself, but this act was contrary to the style of a master.
So he suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "If you want this water lotus, you can just tell us directly. Why do you have to steal it?"
Unfortunately, no one answered him.
After a moment, Mo Jingxuan's face turned ugly.
Shi Lei flattered: "Jingxuan! Maybe the senior has left. Why don't we defeat this king spirit beast first? I am willing to pay a thousand high-level spirit stones, so that your efforts will not be in vain."
The two men didn't expect that he would be willing to pay such a high price. Their expressions improved a little and they nodded in agreement.
Finally, under the siege of three people and two beasts, the Black Dragon King spirit beast was finally defeated. Then, under the pressure of Mo Jingxuan and their spirit pets, it reluctantly made a contract with Shi Lei.
After Shi Lei successfully signed the contract, he thanked the two of them happily and handed over the spirit stone.
After Mo Jingxuan and his companion received a thousand expensive spirit stones, they said goodbye and began to lead their disciples in training in Yunwu Mountain.
Wei Zisu watched Xiao Liyue walking towards them leisurely, holding a dogtail grass in his mouth, looking as if it had nothing to do with him, without any trace of the majestic look he had just had.
Several people were wondering why she would destroy her own image and behave like that in front of everyone.
"Oh! Not bad! You five are fine. You are worthy of being the disciples brought up by the First Elder, the Second Elder and me. You are amazing."
When several people saw that she also praised themselves, they all smiled helplessly.
Wei Zishu smiled politely, "Elder Nine, you are joking. In Zishu's opinion, you are much better than us."
"No, no, I don't deserve it. I'm just the third." Xiao Liyue joked, shaking his head.
"Pfft...Haha..." Everyone was amused by her funny appearance.
My impression of her did not deteriorate, but instead became more favorable.
Chu Mingyou laughed and said, "Haha... Ninth Elder, you are so funny. You are the most interesting person I have ever met. The more I like you, the more I like you."
"Don't be obsessed with me. I'm just a legend." After saying that, he casually lifted up a strand of her hair, looking very suave.
The few of them were amused again, and even Yu Fengchen's cold face became much gentler, and the relationship between them became more harmonious.
Liu Ruxi looked at Xiao Liyue, Wei Zishu and the others laughing and talking happily, and was a little surprised that they got along so well. She had wanted to have good relations with them before, but the results were always lukewarm. She didn't expect that Xiao Liyue could get along well with them.
This made Liu Ruxi feel a little jealous of her. After all, these people were all chosen by heaven, and their looks were also quite outstanding in the world of immortal cultivation. There was no harm in making friends with them.
Seeing that she had been staring at Wei Zishu and the others, Mo Jingxuan hugged her slender waist with some jealousy: "Xi'er has a crush on them, so can't I hear you when I talk to you?"
Liu Ruxi looked back at him tenderly, "Don't make trouble, Xuan, they are all children, how can I like them, I am just curious about why they are so close to Junior Sister."
Mo Jingxuan hugged her and watched them talking and laughing with Xiao Liyue. It was indeed rare.
"I guess it was the First Elder and the Second Elder who asked them to be on good terms with Xiao Liyue. After all, what happened last time was that the two elders..." He didn't continue.
Smart Liu Ruxi naturally guessed it and held his hand tightly. "It's okay. There is no disciple in the sect who can compare to you now. We also have the support of the Second and Third Elders, so we will definitely win."
"Um!"
In fact, they had already learned the news from the second supreme elder a long time ago that the master might have ascended to heaven, so when it came to the task of taking on the position of the sect leader, they would definitely give priority to recommending the strongest disciple in the sect.
Therefore, Mo Jingxuan was not worried at all. He would definitely be the next leader. Apart from her noble status, Xiao Liyue could not be compared with him at all.
Xiao Liyue never expected that because her father ascended to heaven ahead of time, there would be a turmoil in the sect over the position of the sect leader.
