Chapter 684: Chapter 684: Five Saints Gather, Go All Out
Night had fallen.
The Gong Family was steeped in somberness.
For the past three months, the people of the Gong Family had kept their doors shut.
"Dad, we can’t wait any longer. In these three months, both the Shangguan Family and Ning Group have struck our key industries one after another, and we’ve suffered heavy losses."
Changjun gripped his fists in anger, "Long Ya said he would mediate, but it’s clearly partiality. These two families are obviously relying on having Long Ya as their backing and ignoring us. If this continues, our Gong Family will lose its leading position in Jiangning!"
"Do you think I’m afraid of Long Ya?"
Gong Qiliang’s face was gloomy as he looked at Changjun, "Have you forgotten that Ning Mengyao’s strength has now completely overwhelmed ours? There’s no need for Long Ya to make a move at this point. Even if all of us in the Gong Family team up, we’re no match for her alone. What’s the use of your complaining to me?"
"Then... then we just keep taking hits passively? The people under us are watching. If this goes on, they will definitely stop following us. Didn’t Fairy Xifeng say she would go to gather the Five Saints? But there’s still no movement. If she doesn’t come back soon, our Gong Family is through!"
Changjun stomped his feet in frustration.
Fairy Xifeng had been gone for three months with no news.
And Gong Qiliang could not come up with an explanation either.
With no power to even turn the tables now, what could he say?
"Let’s just wait a bit longer. She has the Ancestor’s prohibitions on her. I believe she wouldn’t dare betray us, or else it would be a million times more painful than death. Notify everyone, wait for the latest orders; before receiving any, absolutely do not fight back. If they want to rob, let them rob, if they want to capture, let them capture. Sooner or later, I will make them spit it all out!"
"This..."
Just as Changjun was about to speak, a gust of wind suddenly swept through the courtyard.
Following that, Fairy Xifeng, dressed in a long robe, gracefully descended.
Despite wearing a plain robe, her flirtatious air had not diminished at all.
Seeing her return, Gong Qiliang immediately stood up with a smile.
"Fairy, you’ve finally returned. May I inquire if this time... it went smoothly?"
In the gap between words, he looked outside curiously.
But he saw not even a shadow of a person.
"Of course. Are you doubting my abilities?"
Fairy Xifeng, with a cold face, stepped into the living room.
Then, she plopped down on the sofa.
In the next moment, four figures landed in the courtyard.
They were the other Four Saints.
Their strength had already reached Eighth Grade, yet they did not possess the youthful appearance of Fairy Xifeng.
The youngest among them also looked to be over forty years old.
The remaining three had the countenance of being in their fifties.
"Greetings to the Four Saints!"
Gong Qiliang promptly stood aside.
Although Fairy Xifeng had become a puppet of the Gong Family,
He still had to put on an act in front of the Four.
But the Four did not pay him any attention; instead, they walked over to Fairy Xifeng.
"Xi Feng, is the chaotic fox demon you spoke of here?"
The East Saint looked at Fairy Xifeng with a serious expression.
They, too, had come in response to a summons.
"Of course. Moreover, that fox demon is very strong. Last time I fought with her, I was defeated miserably. That’s why I invited you all to come lend a hand," Fairy Xifeng said with a faint smile.
During these days, not only had she been searching everywhere for them, but naturally she hadn’t neglected to absorb yang to replenish yin.
Therefore, her appearance remained incomparably strict.
She was only wearing the long robe because she feared her fellow disciples might become suspicious.
"If even the second sister is in such a sorry state, can the five of us really defeat the opponent when we join forces?"
The North Saint furrowed her brows with some worry.
They were all disciples of the Wushan Ancestor, with Fairy Xifeng ranking second, but she had always been the strongest among them.
"Win or lose, we must show our spirit. Moreover, when we five sisters join hands, we are sure to have a chance of winning. Even if we cannot win, we definitely won’t fall behind."
Fairy Xifeng said with a smile.
The reason she had called these four wasn’t merely to lend them a hand.
Instead, they were meant to be sources for Nangong Haoqin to cultivate his strength by absorbing yin to supplement yang. Hence, the fox demon was just a pretext.
"Not fall behind? Sister, I feel like there’s more to your words?"
The Central Saint asked, puzzled.
"Alright, I won’t tease you any longer. This time, I haven’t just invited you four. I’ve also let our master know. But our master was injured in that great battle six months ago and has only recently recuperated. He’ll arrive in Jiangning tonight. Moreover, master made it clear that this woman’s background is likely related to the demon from over twenty years ago, so she must be eliminated. Thus, at most, we are here to cheer for our master. I wanted you to come so master could see the strength you’ve cultivated over the years. If you accomplish feats, perhaps you might even gain the support of our master to ascend to the Ninth Grade,"
Fairy Xifeng said, looking mysteriously at her four sisters.
After all, she must first pacify them.
With the Wushan Ancestor as their prestigious signboard, naturally, they wouldn’t be too suspicious of anything.
For all these years, she had remained by the Wushan Ancestor’s side on Mount Wushan.
"So that’s it. Then we have our second sister to thank for elevating us,"
North Saint said excitedly, nodding her head. Among the five sisters, Fairy Xifeng had always been the most favored.
The other four had been sent down from Mount Wushan by the Wushan Ancestor to develop on their own.
Struggling on their own, their strength improved very slowly.
So when they heard they might receive the secret teachings, their hearts were filled with joy.
"Gong Qiliang, tell us, any movement from that fox demon?"
Having reassured the five of them, Fairy Xifeng then turned to look at Gong Qiliang.
"Reporting to the Fairy, just now, I received information that tonight the fox demon will battle with Mr. Wang Hu from the provincial city, thirty miles east of the city."
Fairy Xifeng smiled slightly at Gong Qiliang’s words.
"Good, then tonight shall be the day we eradicate the demon. And with master backing us up, sisters, remember to exert your full strength,"
"Rest assured, we will give it our all!"
Not a single one of the four harbored any doubts.
There was still some time before nightfall, so Fairy Xifeng told Gong Qiliang to take the four to rest for a while.
She then walked toward the back garden, to the secretly activated hidden door.
"Master, I have returned!"
Upon entering, Fairy Xifeng immediately bowed her head and ingratiated herself.
With an air of endless charm, she took on a pitiable yet enticing demeanor.
The next second, her body was pulled inside by a strong suction force.
"Well done, I have already felt four pure yin auras enter the yard. Your work is quite methodical. Once I have taken their essence, I will certainly dote on you,"
Nangong Haoqin pinched her cheek, his face full of pride.
"Master... I have another favor to ask of you... You can’t refuse, especially since I helped you trick them into coming. Please help me with this?"
Fairy Xifeng, with her peach-blossom face, collapsed into Nangong Haoqin’s arms, immediately murmuring, "I have already arranged for Wushan Ancestor to come too, so could you possibly... help me take his essence?"
"Hahaha, to betray your own master, you truly are my loyal dog,"
Nangong Haoqin pinched Fairy Xifeng’s chin.
If he could absorb the power of a master above the Ninth Grade, his strength would skyrocket past Ninth Grade.
"Don’t worry. With such a delicious treat, how could I not let you have it? Tonight, I will consume the four of them, and you can have your master!"
