Chapter 474 - 474 125 Survival of the Fittest 8600

Chapter 474: Chapter 125 Survival of the Fittest [8600] Chapter 474: Chapter 125 Survival of the Fittest [8600] The people of Supreme Mountain successfully entered Broken Jade City without any surprise.

The group from Supreme Mountain rushed into the one-line world of land and sky like arrows.

Shi Jiutu, who was still stationed here, naturally questioned, “Who are you?”

“We’re here to help you kill Wenrou (gentleness)!”

“Who are you all?!” Shi Jiutu was angered, “We don’t need any help!”

“People from Supreme Mountain. Our intention is clear. Please make way!”

“…”

Shi Jiutu took a deep breath, “Sup…Supreme Mountain…”

He gritted his teeth.

He didn’t want these people to go in, and he certainly didn’t want Wenrou to be killed by them.

If Wenrou ended up dying at the hands of those seeking revenge, Shi Jiutu would see it as an insult to Wenrou! Death would be a disgrace that he’d resent!

And it would be an insult to justice as well!

But…

He had no choice.

Supreme Mountain was Supreme Mountain, it was not a force everyone could meddle with.

Even as the National Master of Chu Country, Shi Jiutu had to tread carefully. His fear was even greater!

Especially considering the sheer number of people Supreme Mountain had dispatched this time.

If it had only been three to five people, or eight to ten people, Shi Jiutu wouldn’t care. He would have them snuffed out and buried in this vast forest.

But the enemy came with more than a hundred people at once, how was he supposed to kill them all?

“Let them through!”

“I hope that when Sir Mo finds Wenrou, he can inform us. Supreme Mountain’s prestige is vast, as they wish to take revenge, they will not take interest in Wenrou’s trivial possessions. However, this is still within the borders of my Chu Kingdom. I ask that the Supreme Mountain people give us, the Great Chu, room to maneuver and save face.”

Shi Jiutu said gravely.

Mo Yuanqing didn’t dare to neglect his attitude towards the National Master of Great Chu, and he chuckled, “Of course, I’ll make sure to notify Master Shi when the time comes!”

Watching Mo Yuanqing and the others enter the dense forest, Shi Jiutu was very uneasy, the wrinkles on his face deepening, with his white beard slightly trembling.

“Even at this critical moment, I still had to concede. Am I… Am I still a martial artist?”

No one answered his question, nor did anyone dare to.

“I used this incident to teach my disciples before. Now it’s my turn, and I still let them through…”

The old man’s figure seemed to have shrunk a lot all of a sudden. His waistline didn’t seem as upright as before.

As if sensing something, as masters from various large sects such as the Second Palace, Four Direction Boundless, and Five Lake Bright Moon successively entered The Other Side domain, Shi Jiutu’s mood plummeted even more.

From time to time, he sat on a mountain rock, motionless for a long time.

He muttered to himself, but no one heard what he was saying.

But just looking at that figure, one couldn’t help but feel distressed.

The deep sadness and loneliness that radiated from the heart were felt by everyone present.

“I have always considered myself a martial artist, and I have always been proud of my martial spirit. I despise government officials and don’t care about politicians. All along, I felt I was right, I was proud, I was upright, I was just.”

“But, faced with imperial power, I backed down. Faced with Supreme Mountain, I backed down. Faced with the two palaces, I backed down. Faced with all the major sects that came, I backed down.”

“I don’t have the courage to provoke them, much less reject them. I have too many considerations. I boast of being upright, but I am constantly bowing and retreating in front of those powers. I thought I was stubborn, but I am always making wise choices, adopting a live and let live policy.”

“What am I really?”

“Am I truly deserving of the phrase ‘model teacher’?? Is this really all a National Master can do?”

The old man with bloodshot eyes never stopped mumbling to himself.

After a long time, he suddenly turns around and gives the order, “Everyone, enter the dense forest and hunt down Wenrou!”

“We must ensure that Wenrou dies by our hands.”

“The body should be given the highest respect for burial!”

“We must not allow any force, any individual to trample on Wenrou’s corpse. A hero should not be insulted!”

“Go!”

Almost at the same time this order was given, a woman dressed in light blue with a long sword on her back and her face covered in white sand, arrived near Broken Jade City.

“I want to get in.”

“What for?”

“I am Dong Xiaoyan from Cloud Palace.”

“…Miss Dong, please enter.”

Dong Xiaoyan looked at the ancient prohibition in the sky above Broken Jade City, snorted, flicked her ponytail and strode forward.

“What a jerk… He promised to meet me long ago, but when I came back to find him, he was nowhere to be found….”

“Might as well let off some steam here where there are so many targets!”

Dong Xiaoyan muttered to herself, clearly dissatisfied, as she stepped briskly inside.

Not long after.

Two old men hurriedly came flying.

“Our young lady just went in.”

“Your young lady is?”

“Here’s her ID tag!”

“Cloud Palace… Please enter, please enter. Hurry!”

The two old men didn’t say another word and immediately went inside.

“My head is spinning… The young lady is improving her cultivation faster and faster, and it’s becoming harder and harder to catch up with her.”

“Be content. It’s still better than when Ice Phoenix was around. When you’re riding on Ice Phoenix, you disappear in a flash, and we can only chase after you on the ground. That’s the true nightmare, big brother. Those couple of years, I felt like my legs were about to break at any moment.”

“We’re pretty lucky. You should be content. Look at those two brothers from the Gao family in front of us, they’re both worn out from competing with the Three Mountains… At least we haven’t encountered such a grand event. Even though we say we will run till our legs break, when have our legs really broken?”

“Hey hey hey… You’d better not curse me, I’m telling you. Our young lady’s ability to court trouble is only becoming greater with each passing day, surpassing even her mother’s! I still want to enjoy my old age and die of natural causes!”
