Chapter 209: Chapter 211: Do You Want to Be Annihilated?

"Xuanyuan old man, are you going to hand it over or not? If you don’t, you won’t be leaving today."

Seeing that negotiating wasn’t working, this group of old men, almost all of them at the level of vice deans, started making threats. However, the people who had come here generally had a good relationship with Xuanyuan Mingkong; otherwise, these threats would have been rather shameless.

It seemed that the wine Mu Can had brought out really attracted them, otherwise they wouldn’t be speaking such bold words.

"I’ve already said I don’t have it, and that means I don’t. What do you want to do about it? If you’re capable of threatening me, why don’t you go create a scene over there?"

Xuanyuan Mingkong pointed towards the encampment of the Demon Clan.

Mu Can had already given him only that single barrel of fine wine, and Xuanyuan Mingkong himself had hardly enough to enjoy, so how could he be willing to share it with these old men?

"This wine is absolutely not from the Three Realms; it seems this lad must have received a heritage from a higher interface." Sword Venerate, controlling his sword in stealth up in the sky, was drawn by the aroma of the wine, feeling somewhat intoxicated, and at this moment, he really wanted to have a drink.

"If we go, we go, but will you hand over the wine or not?"

The group of old men surrounding Xuanyuan Mingkong was not to be trifled with. The weakest among them were at the Martial Saint Level, not to mention those who appeared to be ordinary old men who had returned to their natural state, their true strength concealed. Mu Can could not discern their real power.

"Fine then, a cup of wine in exchange for the head of a Demon General."

As precious as wine may be, it was not as important as the safety of the Mortal World. Since these typically idle old men were willing to make a move now for the sake of wine, Xuanyuan Mingkong didn’t mind taking out what he had just acquired.

You must know that Demon Generals were almost all at the Martial Saint Level. Now, sending them to infiltrate the main camp of the Demon World in the Mortal World and kill their Demon Generals—imagine the difficulty. But if they could do it, it would indeed be a heartening affair for the morale of everyone in the Mortal World.

"Hmph, then let’s go on this journey. You set up the banquet here and have the drinks ready when we return."

Mu Can noted that the leader among these old men was actually the one who usually swept the floor at Immortal Ancient Academy. Normally unnoticed and unassuming, now he was able to lead this group, indicating that Mu Can had indeed underestimated this elder.

"Dear teachers, rest assured in going to kill the enemy. Although there is not much wine, I guarantee that each of you will get a taste."

Mu Can clasped his fists and addressed the group of valiant old men, knowing full well that infiltrating the enemy camp and assassinating their commanders, even with their sky-high cultivation, would certainly not be devoid of danger among the ranks of the Demon World.

"It’s this lad who is generous. Xuanyuan old fool, take a look at yourself, so stingy. Your disciple here is not bad; we will have a good chat when we come back."

The group of old men rated Mu Can highly; with his strength at the Martial Venerate level letting a Martial Saint like Yao Wenbing submit, and now so generously offering Monkey Wine, he earned the old men’s respect in both ability and personality.

"If that’s the case, then I shall accompany you on this trip. Such an affair shouldn’t be lacking me, right?"

Seeing the eager old men, Xuanyuan Mingkong’s spirits also surged. It was time to show true strength and intimidate the weak. If the representatives of the Hidden Family saw the overt power of Immortal Ancient Academy earlier, they wouldn’t dare make any excessive demands.

He had already overestimated these representatives. They had been scared senseless by Yang’s Sky Bomb Seal not long ago and had started reevaluating just how much weight the Hidden Family could carry in the Mortal World.

Purple Cloud once said that the Mortal World was not ordinary at all, containing things that could instill fear even in an Immortal Venerable. Now it seemed that the person Purple Cloud said could frighten an Immortal Venerable might very well be a monster similar to the one behind Yang.

"Let’s go, some people have been jumping around too happily lately; it’s time to intimidate them. Xuanyuan, you little scoundrel, if you ask me, just throw it all out already. What’s the use in taking these trash as allies?"

Although it wasn’t explicitly said who the so-called trash was, everyone present understood that the old man was referring to the members of the Hidden Family.

"Mr. Ge, you shouldn’t say that; these people do have some uses." Xuanyuan Mingkong said, looking awkwardly at the ashen-faced members of the Hidden Family in the distance as he explained.

"What use do these dogs have? They don’t even recognize their own ancestors. With my temper, I’d directly light the Immortal Ancient Smoke, call back all those wandering heads of the academy, the Mortal World is changing, and yet they loiter about..."

He was cut off before he could finish by Xuanyuan Mingkong, and Mr. Ge also knew he had said too much, hurrying to shut his mouth.

Many secrets could not be disclosed in front of so many people.

Mu Can chuckled to himself, it seemed that the situation in the Mortal World was much better than he had imagined. If Immortal Ancient Academy, the strongest force in the Mortal World, had no foundation to speak of, wouldn’t that be utterly ridiculous?

"Hmph! Still daring enough to raid our camp, they won’t even know how they died."

Although the representatives of the Hidden Family were hurt, their hearts were filled with defiance. The Hidden Family had always prided itself as the strongest in the Mortal World; their current humiliation made their discontent understandable.

"Seeking death!" Mr. Ge was different from Xuanyuan Mingkong and had no affection for those fickle as grass during the Mortal World’s great calamities.

Without seeing Mr. Ge make a move, the Hidden Family representative who had just spoken found himself suddenly in the air, uncontrollably flying towards Mr. Ge, stopping a meter in front of him, suspended mid-air.

"Do you want your clan exterminated?" Mr. Ge’s eyes narrowed; he looked dangerously close to exploding in rage and killing the hapless individual.

Caught in the grasp of Mr. Ge’s power, the previously arrogant red-haired middle-aged man was struggling helplessly in midair, his Martial Saint strength utterly useless here, not even able to move a bit. He could only whine helplessly, drooling as he did so, a far cry from his earlier display of arrogance.

"Mr. Ge, let him down. It’s pointless to bully a junior," Xuanyuan Mingkong intervened, concerned that if things continued, the Martial Saint might be choked to death in midair by Mr. Ge.

"You’re trash if I say you’re trash. Go tell those old ancestors of your Hidden Family, if they dare to betray the Mortal World, they should await their annihilation."

The red-haired middle-aged man fell to the ground, gasping for breath. Just a moment ago, he felt death was only a step away, and he was truly afraid.

What level might someone be who could render a Martial Saint completely immobile with just one hand?
