Chapter 1160 1160: Shu Mountain, Heavenly Curse
At this moment.After thanking everyone at Heavenly King Mountain, they turned to Qin Feng and said, "We will take our leave now and not linger here. Brother Qin, we'll meet again if fate allows!"
Their lives were saved by Qin Feng, and they naturally felt embarrassed to ask him about the Crystal Stone.
They didn't know whether he had obtained it or not.
Even if he had, they couldn't snatch it from him and chose to leave instead.
"Goodbye."
Qin Feng waved his hand.
No need for fate.
According to his calculations, Luo Hongyan still had three concerts left to hold a total of twelve. By then, the small test of Heavenly King Mountain would be completed, and he would become its rightful successor.
"Time flies! Almost a year…"
Qin Feng sighed.
Originally, all he needed was to manage Haohan Company to pass the assessment.
Since Heavenly King Mountain chose him, it was more than 80% certain they had recognized him, giving him a small company to see how he handled difficulties, and within a month or two, they could see the results.
But his thought was, since he was cast out of Heavenly King Mountain, if he wanted to return, he wanted to do it in grand style.
Assessment?
It must be impressive!
That's why he decided to have Luo Hongyan hold twelve personal concerts over twelve months, just one year.
"Wait for me, I will be back soon…"
Qin Feng murmured to himself.
Once everyone from Heavenly King Mountain left, the troops of the Shu Mountain Sect finally arrived.
The Five Elders, along with more than a dozen elders, and even the Shu Mountain Sect Leader Ling Guiyi, all rushed over here.
"It seems that Shu Mountain Sect still has some conscience. Knowing the Blood Demon is about to emerge, even the Sect Leader came. Based on the injuries on the Sect Leader, they must have had an intense battle earlier and came right after it to deal with the Blood Demon. Pretty impressive."
Qin Feng muttered.
He thought that the Five Elders had returned to Shu Mountain Sect to tell them about the Blood Demon and that they came to deal with it.
Unexpectedly.
As soon as the people of Shu Mountain Sect arrived, Sect Leader Ling Guiyi took the lead to bow and said, "Young Master Qin, please help us."
"Uh…"
Qin Feng blinked in confusion.
Just a couple of days ago, they were hunting him all over, what's going on now?
"Young Master Qin, we were wrong before, please help our Shu Mountain Sect!"
At this moment, Sect Leader Ling Guiyi lowered his head even more.
Qin Feng was about to ask.
At that moment.
Suddenly he saw Mei Niang, holding the Sky Net Imperial Umbrella, flying over.
Her sheer dress fluttered gently in the wind, like a fairy descending.
Immediately after.
A large group of Tang Sect people in black clothes and straw hats surrounded the core of the Shu Mountain Sect, sealing them tightly!
As it turns out.
The people from the Tang Sect used the Key given by Mei Niang to enter the Qiankun Tower, where they finally obtained the Divine Weapon Hidden Weapon passed down by Tang Sect over hundreds of years.
With these hidden weapons, Tang Sect's strength increased significantly and they attacked Shu Mountain again.
The Shu Mountain Sect had sent all their people to scatter to find Qin Feng and Mei Niang, spreading their forces too thin, and Tang Sect was able to defeat them one by one.
Moreover, with a top expert like Mei Niang.
Shu Mountain Sect was quickly defeated.
The Shu Mountain Sect had no choice but to concede defeat.
But Mei Niang disagreed, stating that Shu Mountain Sect had previously threatened to destroy Tang Sect if they didn't surrender the Sky Net Imperial Umbrella, hence Tang Sect would now annihilate Shu Mountain Sect.
With no other choice.
Sect Leader Ling Guiyi, after a brief discussion with the elders and seniors, decided to ask Qin Feng for help.
Everyone knew Qin Feng was Mei Niang's son-in-law.
With him mediating, there should be no problem.
"Young Master Qin, please, help our Shu Mountain Sect! I bow and apologize to you for what happened before…"
Sect Leader Ling Guiyi knelt before Qin Feng.
The elders and seniors also appeared embarrassed.
Shu Mountain Sect's predicament was entirely due to their past harshness towards Tang Sect.
"Sorry, but this is between you and Tang Sect, it doesn't really concern me!" Qin Feng shrugged and said.
"But you could at least speak with Mei Niang, spare us. Shu Mountain Sect has been around for thousands of years, it can't end with our generation!" Ling Guiyi said, his eyes red and swollen.
"But this is your grudge; what does it have to do with me?" Qin Feng reiterated.
"..."
Ling Guiyi's expression was one of extreme distress and helplessness.
At this time.
Mei Niang, holding the Sky Net Imperial Umbrella, smiled and said, "Sect Leader Ling, you can't blame me. It was your Shu Mountain Sect that first proposed to annihilate our Tang Sect. Since my son-in-law won't help you, just resign to your fate!"
As she spoke, she spun the Sky Net Imperial Umbrella, ready to make a move.
Ling Guiyi hurriedly raised his hands, tears in his eyes, "I accept my fate! As Sect Leader, I can die, but please, spare some mercy for our Shu Mountain Sect people, or allow them to join the Tang Sect and serve as servants. In any case, the heritage of Shu Mountain Sect cannot be broken!!"
When he finished speaking.
The disciples of Shu Mountain Sect were moved to tears.
The crowd even erupted with cries.
Thud!
Ling Guiyi knelt before Mei Niang, his head hitting the ground heavily, "I'm willing to die to atone. Please spare Shu Mountain Sect!!"
"I'm sorry," Mei Niang shrugged and said, "We have a serious grudge with you, Shu Mountain Sect. How could we possibly take you in? So you might as well give up that thought!"
"..."
Ling Guiyi felt as if knives were twisting in his heart, in unbearable pain.
At this moment.
Qin Feng seemed to feel some sympathy and said to Mei Niang, "Perhaps there are other solutions; constant fighting and killing are not good."
"There's no way we can take them in," Mei Niang said with a helpless expression, then a barely noticeable smile appeared on her lips, "By the way, I've heard that your Heavenly King Palace seems to be expanding…"
At these words.
Sect Leader Ling Guiyi's heart skipped a beat!
Of course!
If Tang Sect can't take them in, they could join Heavenly King Palace!
Heavenly King Palace was established by Qin Feng.
Joining the Heavenly King Palace means becoming Qin Feng's people, giving him a reason to plead on their behalf with Mei Niang!
"Young Master Qin!!"
Ling Guiyi turned and bowed to Qin Feng again, "Our Shu Mountain Sect is willing to join Heavenly King Palace, to serve Lord Qin with all our heart and soul!! Just ask Lord Qin to preserve our Shu Mountain Sect!!"
When he finished.
The elders and seniors behind him also knelt down and said in unison, "Please, Lord Qin, preserve our Shu Mountain Sect!!"
"This…"
Qin Feng was bewildered.
But seeing Mei Niang throwing him a flirtatious glance, he suddenly realized!
He understood it was all part of her plan!
She never actually intended to slaughter the Shu Mountain Sect.
She just wanted Shu Mountain Sect to become part of them.
However.
Although Shu Mountain Sect was defeated, their core strength remained. They were formidable, and even if the whole Qinling Branch of Heavenly King Mountain united, they wouldn't be a match for Shu Mountain Sect. What if they rebelled…
While hesitating.
Sect Leader Ling Guiyi seemed to sense his concerns, produced a spirit talisman, bit his finger, let the blood drip on it, and vowed, "Our Shu Mountain Sect, swear to the Heavenly God, will forever serve the Heavenly King Palace loyally, going through fire and water, without hesitation! If we break the oath, let Shu Mountain suffer Heavenly Punishment!!"
