Chapter 870: Chapter 80: Hold on [Vote for monthly pass!]

On Shu Mountain, the Universe Ring, knocked down by Immortal Qi Jing’s "Royal Ship Technique," heavily crashed onto the Southern Land, emitting a tremor that shook the fields with a thunderous roar.

While everyone’s gaze was still shaken by the divine ship in the sky, a streak of firelight had already rushed southwest, landing beside the huge Divine Artifact and approached the surface of the Universe Ring.

The person who arrived was Empress Feng.

When it came to "looting a burning house," perhaps no one in Shu Mountain Sect understood it better than Silver Sword Peak Master, who was not only skilled in arson but also in looting. At the very first moment the Universe Ring slipped out of Daoist Cang Sheng’s control, she was the first one to rush to the battlefield.

Daoist Cang Sheng, who was in mid-air, naturally tried to pull back the Universe Ring with his spiritual power. Empress Feng, seeing this, ignited her palms with Samadhi Divine Fire and violently pressed down, attempting to keep the Universe Ring in place.

But she ultimately could not overcome the spiritual power of Daoist Cang Sheng. After all, the Universe Ring was the Divine Artifact he presided over. Just as Empress Feng was about to be carried away by the ascending Universe Ring, Master Wen Yuan also joined the battlefield.

The Shu Mountain Head Master pressed down with a single palm, forcing the Universe Ring back to the ground with a thunderous crash—

Daoist Cang Sheng and Master Wen Yuan plunged back into a struggle, clashing in midair with clanking sounds, stirring a whirl of space-time fragments, as a great war seemed about to resume.

"Stop!" It was the Regent Leader who spoke out to steady the situation. With the Cosmic Sword descending from the sky, it sliced through the spiritual connection between Daoist Cang Sheng and the Universe Ring with a howl.

Daoist Cang Sheng, sensing something amiss, activated the Universe Ring to spin and open up a crack in the sky, sending the Universe Ring back to Mirage Mountain the instant before the sword struck.

"Such pity." Empress Feng lamented with a pat of her hand.

Whoosh—

In a flash of light, the link between Daoist Cang Sheng and the Universe Ring was severed. Fortunately, the Divine Artifact had already returned to Penglai and nothing serious would happen.

It was only then that he turned to the Regent Leader with anger in his eyes: "What is the meaning of this?"

It was clear to any astute observer that the Regent Leader was taking sides. If he wanted to stop the fight, why didn’t he sever the connection on Master Wen Yuan’s side?

After all, the Universe Ring was a treasure of the Penglai Upper Sect.

"What now?" retorted the Regent Leader, his face ashen with anger. "After wiping out the Shu Mountain Sect, do you intend to wipe out my Regent Residence too? Such dominance, Sect Leader Cang Sheng."

"I said it. Chu Liang of Mount Shu cultivated the Heaven Devouring Beast in secret, intending to revive the Demon God, an issue that threatens the Human Clan’s very existence!" Daoist Cang Sheng shouted: "You all stood by and watched, and now you even obstruct me?"

"How can we take your word for it?" questioned the Heavenly Strategy Position from the Heavenly King Sect, stepping forward. "Chu Liang is here as well, shouldn’t we hear his explanation?"

Although Tianshu Pavilion had already confirmed Daoist Cang Sheng’s words, from the stance of the Heavenly King Sect, they could not miss this opportunity to beat a drowning dog.

When it came to Penglai’s words, Heavenly King Sect would always doubt, then doubt again.

"Fine!" Daoist Cang Sheng looked towards Chu Liang on the Shu Mountain Divine Boat, his eyes like swords. "Let’s see how you’ll weasel your way out of this one," he said.

"Hehe..." As everyone’s gaze turned to him, Chu Liang suddenly let out a slight smile. "Sect Leader Cang Sheng accuses me of secretly raising the Heaven Devouring Beast to revive the Demon God?" he asked.

"What else?" Daoist Cang Sheng snorted coldly.

Chu Liang’s gaze turned to his recently returned master, Empress Feng, who immediately understood and turned to Daoist Cang Sheng, cursing: "You’re talking nonsense!"

Daoist Cang Sheng’s brow furrowed, preparing to retort, but then he heard Chu Liang suddenly take over the conversation with a smile: "If I raised the Heaven Devouring Beast to revive the Demon God, then why didn’t I just give it to the Demonic Clan when I was kidnapped by them, to revive the Demon God outright? If I have colluded with the Demonic Clan, why would I need to go through such trouble? Shu Mountain Sect has established unparalleled merits in slaying demons for the Mortal Realm, you should not falsely accuse a disciple of Mount Shu of colluding with the Demonic Clan!"

Daoist Cang Sheng, too lazy to respond to Empress Feng’s nonsense, glared at Chu Liang with a frown. "If you have not colluded with the Demonic Clan, then why did you not kill the Heaven Devouring Beast?" he asked.

Upon hearing this, Chu Liang glanced at Empress Feng again, who immediately shouted at Daoist Cang Sheng: "To hell with that!"

"You..." Daoist Cang Sheng was about to become furious.

Chu Liang on the side immediately spoke up, "I do not kill the Heaven Devouring Beast, and naturally, I have my reasons. Do you know why I chose to rear the most dangerous beast in the world? Could it really be for my own benefit? No, I do it for the Four Seas and Nine Continents!"

"Tsk." Daoist Cang Sheng sneered coldly, "Could you possibly have some glorious reason for this?"

Initially, he sent Daoist Xuan Lu, who had erred, to the Far West Land, where the Demonic Clan’s Cai Yi revealed to him the fact that Chu Liang harbored a Heaven Devouring Beast.

Penglai did not understand why they chose to disclose this matter, perhaps it was to stir up conflicts between the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. But at the time, Penglai did not wish to engage in full-scale war with the Shu Mountain Sect, so they did not spread the news. Only today did it become a reason by which the Shu Mountain Sect could be placed in an unjust position.

This time, Chu Liang first glanced at his own mouth for Empress Feng, and Empress Feng immediately cursed, "Which dog is laughing?"

Daoist Cang Sheng clenched his teeth, and sure enough, Chu Liang then spoke, "I do not kill the Heaven Devouring Beast because it cannot be killed!"

He paused and then continued, "Do you know the Heaven Devouring Beast is a ferocious beast born from the devouring of the Great Dao in this world, and if this one is killed, there will be another. The one I rear has been nurtured to be gentle and pure, a kind Heaven Devouring Beast. If you kill it, there will still be Heaven Devouring Beasts in this world. If one is taken by the Demonic Clan and nurtured into an evil Heaven Devouring Beast, that would be the disaster of the Four Seas and Nine Continents!"

"Hahaha!" Daoist Cang Sheng laughed heartily three times, "Such nonsense, a naturally dangerous beast should be eliminated by everyone. Do you think that by rearing it, you can make its nature pure and good?"

"Oranges grown in the south of the Huai River are called oranges, and those grown in the north are called trifoliate oranges." Chu Liang immediately retorted, "Every one of you from Penglai Upper Sect is ill-natured, so you think others can’t cultivate a pure nature?"

"Exactly, Old Deng!" Empress Feng loudly echoed on the side, "Open your dog mouth and ask around, who doesn’t know our disciples of the Shu Mountain Sect are all civilized and well-mannered."

"Hmph!" Daoist Cang Sheng huffed loudly, just about to say something when suddenly Lu Mountain Old Man approached him with a panic-stricken face and whispered a few words.

Daoist Cang Sheng’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

It seemed that some significant event had occurred.

His eyes scanned over the faces of Chu Liang and Empress Feng, his lips trembling, and then, with a laugh turning from extreme anger, he said, "Fine then."

After speaking, he turned his gaze to the Regent Leader, to Shentu Yang, and to the Mysterious Yellow Battle Armor of Heavenly Gang Sect, and spoke loudly, "Do you all believe his nonsense?"

The crowd responded with silence.

Belief was one matter, but current positions were another.

They could deal with Chu Liang behind closed doors after driving out Penglai; there was no rush at the moment. But if they allowed Daoist Cang Sheng to prevail now, wouldn’t Penglai, with the two Divine Artifacts in their hands, be able to attack whomever they wished in the future?

"Fine, fine!" Daoist Cang Sheng’s chest heaved violently, clearly out of extreme anger, and with a sweep of his sleeve, he ordered, "Let’s go!"

Just as he was about to leave, suddenly Master Wen Yuan called out, "Wait a moment."

"Hmm?" Cang Sheng looked up at Master Wen Yuan.

Then Master Wen Yuan said deliberately, "Does Sect Leader Cang Sheng really think you can come and go from the Shu Mountain Sect as you please?"

As he spoke these words, the Shu Mountain Divine Boat behind him seemed to respond, its bow rising high, emanating a powerful Jue Yun Sword Qi.

As if to declare to the world, the Shu Mountain was no longer the weakest of the Nine Heavens as it once was, Shu Mountain now possessed its own Divine Artifact! The days of not daring to speak up had passed!

Once the ship is in hand, a hundred years of grievances shall be avenged!

"What would you have me do?" Cang Sheng asked almost gnashing his teeth.

Master Wen Yuan spread his hands wide, enveloping the broken Shu Mountain below, and uttered just one word, "Compensate."
