Chapter 27: Wholeheartedly Seeking Peace

The Three-Eyed Tiger thought for a moment; it didn’t seem to have any way to threaten this brat. As the summoned creature, it couldn’t harm Jiang Cheng. This rendered its harsh words powerless, which was very frustrating. And Jiang Cheng was exceedingly ’considerate.’ "Big boss, if you find it too troublesome, you can totally stay with us!" "Let me introduce our sect to you. It’s a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and people are exceptionally hospitable!" "This way, you can spare yourself from the toil of traveling. Why not?" The Three-Eyed Tiger almost exploded in anger, roaring furiously. "Stay away from me!" Jiang Cheng’s thoughts weren’t difficult to guess. This brat was daring, using it as cheap labor was one thing, but wanting it to stay as a free long-term worker? Wishful thinking! If not for the inability to retaliate, it would teach him how much cruelty is needed to spell the word ’death’! Watching it flee hurriedly like escaping, Brother Cheng was quite dejected, like a scumbag brutally rejected by a goddess. "Sigh, I had true feelings for the bright moon, only for the moon to illuminate a ditch!" "Such a boiling passionate heart has been hurt, can only be soothed with Spirit Stone Elixirs." After all, the Profound Ice Sect was also a sect with several thousand people, rich in reserves, almost comparable to the Extreme Moon Sect. It also had a Spirit Vein. With a busy half-day, after looting all the valuable items here, he decisively chose to exchange them all. Points quickly reached 5800. Looking at it this way, upgrading didn’t seem too difficult. Only then did Brother Cheng feel satisfied, flying up to the clouds. Not until he left more than two hours later, did some loose cultivators wishing to scavenge come in successively. Naturally, apart from those empty tiles and stones, they didn’t find a single hair. How could Jiang Cheng, this human excavator, be famous for nothing? Over ten thousand loose cultivators expressed their grief, once again denouncing the big boss who wiped out the Profound Ice Sect. Too ruthless, this doesn’t meet the rules! Logically, after destroying a sect, a big boss should be overjoyed with their harvest, right? Shouldn’t they hand out some red envelopes to share the ’luck’? Flying high in the sky, Jiang Cheng felt a chill on his back, as if countless people were cursing him. Touching his devilishly handsome face, Brother Cheng felt a bit gloomy. "Forget it, after all, a tall tree catches the wind; being too handsome invites hatred, which is normal." Upon arriving at the Five Thunders Sect, they similarly put on a ready-for-battle stance. Along the way, he didn’t use the transmission array, taking another two hours. People of the Five Thunders Sect had already learned of the Profound Ice Sect’s demise from Sound Transmission Talismans and Transmission Spirit Artifacts, dare not to treat it lightly. "Jiang Cheng, don’t bully others too much!" The Sect Leader of the Five Thunders Sect, Huangfu Zidian, shouted with feigned bravado. "Destroying two great sects... is a bit too vicious, isn’t it?" Once these words fell, emotions ran high. "Sect Master, why bother talking to him, this is the behavior of a demon!" "Jiang Cheng, how do you have the face to live on this world!" "Everyone would want to kill him!" "Why aren’t you dead yet!" Some people, with spiritual power added, spat out saliva shoots over ten meters; had Jiang Cheng not been standing afar, he would’ve been drenched. Their logic was simply: you wipe out our sect, you’re a demon; as for our previous wiping out of your Feixian Sect... Uh... That was just a trivial matter. Anyway, you’re unreasonable, we’re reasonable. Huangfu Zidian was furious hearing his disciples’ vehement curses. A bunch of pig teammates indeed. Despite Jiang Cheng being merely Soul Splitting Realm Sixth Layer before him, inferior to his Ninth Layer, the two sects were undeniably obliterated. Especially the Profound Ice Sect, even when they activated their great array, they couldn’t escape the same fate. No need to guess, Jiang Cheng surely had a big killer. Once the fight began, Five Thunders Sect wouldn’t fare differently. He wanted not to die. So actually, he wanted to talk it over with Jiang Cheng. In essence, seeking peace. Though the Five Thunders Sect also followed in destroying the Feixian Sect, he personally stabbed four Feixian Elders, and opportunistically seized nine rings of considerable resources. Yet, with his tongue skillful enough to reverse black and white, he could possibly fool the kid around, changing the situation. Unexpectedly, these disciples went into a frenzy as if on stimulants, all began cursing Jiang Cheng’s ancestors. Please, we’re the ones who wiped their sect first, aren’t you overly righteous? How can we negotiate in such a way? "Seems your people want me dead, then come and kill me quickly!" Being cursed to death didn’t anger Brother Cheng at all; he even hoped the intensity would increase. "Dare not, dare not..." Huangfu Zidian hurriedly smiled conciliatorily, while severely reprimanding his disciples. "All of you quiet for this Sect Leader!" "Sect Leader Jiang, I understand your revenge for Feixian Sect," "But common words say that it is better to resolve than embrace enmity." "Those minor grievances with Feixian Sect, let them disappear like the wind!" "More friends lead to more paths, right?" He spoke so reasonably, even Jiang Cheng was taken aback. Hey brother, Feixian Sect was wiped out clean, is that just minor grievances? Plus, only a few days have passed, isn’t it a bit quick to laugh off enmity? Huangfu Zidian continued elaborating. "You’re not a disciple of Feixian Sect, but an outsider, right?" "Their hatred doesn’t really concern you, you simply need a reason for a battle, don’t you?" "How about this, from now on, our Five Thunders Sect will submit to your Feixian Sect." "Thus, everyone becomes brothers, we are willing to be the vanguard for Feixian Sect in conquering Qinglan Prefecture..." He thought quite beautifully. Anyway, whether joining Red Sun Sect or Feixian Sect, it didn’t make a difference. It’s all about finding a strong backer. If Jiang Cheng was truly from another sect outside with ulterior motives, he might agree. After all, those outside forces wouldn’t care about Feixian Sect’s hatred, only profit. With the Five Thunders Sect as a pawn and pathfinder, it better serves their interest in conquering Qinglan Prefecture. Unfortunately, Jiang Cheng was not. He has no sect or family pressing him, no sect leader overbearing him, let alone any puppet master pulling strings behind. Everything he did was based on his own will. "You make quite a compelling argument, seems to make some sense." Seeing Jiang Cheng indeed swayed, Huangfu Zidian was overjoyed. "Sect Leader Jiang truly is a discerning and reasonable person..." Jiang Cheng waved his hand, smiling widely. "Since it sounds so reasonable, you should go underground and tell that to the former Feixian Sect Master and those elders." "Persuade them, then I’ll agree." Huangfu Zidian’s face shifted, rage surged. Going underground, isn’t that being dead? "You... You’re toying with me, damn you!" The Spirit Sword flew out, Jiang Cheng launched his attack directly.
