Mountain and sea lantern

Chapter 642 Is it tolerable or intolerable?

These words alarmed Ying Gang and Xi Huang. They hadn't expected that the other side would dare to kill them directly, which was why they hadn't resisted when they were under control. If they had known they were going to die, they would have fought back without hesitation.

Ying Gang struggled fiercely, saying, "Do you really think my Extreme Fire Sect is made of clay?"

Yin Ning scoffed, "So what do you think your Extreme Fire Sect is? It seems my Qingqiu has been quiet for too long, so long that everyone dares to look down on us. When my ancestors and I rebelled, your Extreme Fire Sect could only cower on the sidelines, trembling with fear. Killing you, do you really think it's a big deal? If many people saw it, I might have to find a suitable reason. If no one saw it, I'll say what happened, and that's what happened. Do you believe that even if your Extreme Fire Sect knows it's a lie, in the end you'll just have to turn a blind eye and accept it by holding your nose?"

These words and this manner were something that Yin Xu and Tian Shen had never heard of or seen before, and their minds were as if they had been struck by lightning.

Ying Gang's lips twitched repeatedly as he angrily retorted, "Outrageous!"

But he was wavering in his heart, knowing that even if he died, the sect might really turn a blind eye to such a tyrannical guy as Qingqiu. There was a reason why he turned around and left when he saw Yin Ning before.

"Master, anything can be discussed." The Western Emperor suddenly shouted. He was truly stunned by this fox clan master. The rebellious remarks that he often made were not the kind of things a normal person would say.

Arguing with a madman like that is insane; a true man knows when to yield and when to stand firm.

He felt like he had been tricked by Yin Xu. They had slept together for so many years, yet the true nature of the Qingqiu Fox Clan had never been revealed.

"You're not worth negotiating with. Your death, as a warning to the Western Bull Royal Court, is the greatest value you can have!" Yin Ning glanced at him indifferently, then stared at Yin Xu. "I said a life for a life, revenge for revenge. What are you waiting for? Where is your resentment, your hatred? To end up like this over a man is utterly absurd!"

Yin Xu dared not disobey her. He grabbed a short knife that was lying on the ground and dragged his limping leg to the Western Emperor. However, he could not lift the short knife he was holding tightly. His eyes behind his messy hair revealed an unusually complicated expression.

The Western Emperor no longer enjoyed her gentle demeanor; now, only boundless fear filled him. He pleaded, "Yin Xu, even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. For the sake of our many years together, please plead for me..."

As it turned out, it would have been better if he hadn't said that. The moment he did, Yin Xu was driven into a frenzy. He stabbed himself repeatedly with a short knife, yelling and whimpering something about "marrying me," while covered in blood.

Later, Tian Shen went over and pulled her away. Yin Xu sat on the ground and cried loudly. Until the incident happened today, she truly liked the other person.

The wolf corpse that had revealed the Western Emperor also fell beside her.

Tian Shen picked up the short knife and gestured to Yin Ning, "How about I take care of the remaining two?"

Yin Ning didn't object, but just stared at Yin Xu, who was crying her heart out, and snorted, "Useless, shameful."

"What are you doing?" Ying Gang stared at Tian Shen, who was approaching with a knife, and panicked, crying out, "Yin Ning, sir, let's talk this over. Whatever you need, I can find a way to meet it..."

Yin Ning interrupted directly, "No need. If you can't satisfy me, I will find the Extreme Fire Sect to satisfy me."

"Ah..." With a scream, Ying Gang's head fell to the ground.

Tian Shen unleashed several more slashes, tearing the Extreme Fire Sect elder to pieces.

He turned and rushed towards Xi Quan, slashing down with his sword amidst a scream, blood splattering everywhere...

The three people who had stormed into Zhu Lang Pavilion to arrest people were dealt with just like that, while Yin Xu was still sitting on the ground sobbing.

Yin Ning's icy words came crashing down: "If you want to cry, you'll have plenty of time to cry later. Right now, cooperate with me to catch that Shi Chun!"

What else could Yin Xu do? She held nothing back from Qingqiu and cooperated completely obediently.

The group left quickly, and the city gates, sealed by the great formation, could not contain Yin Ning. A message was sent out, and the city gates were opened.

Once outside the city, Yin Xu sent another message to Shi Chun, inviting him to a meeting place.

No problem. Shi Chun arranged to meet at a remote location, but before meeting, he asked Yu Xuanbing to scout the place first.

"The target is injured, and there are experts lying in ambush nearby. They are from the Qingqiu Fox Clan. I have seen one of them before. He is a trusted subordinate of the Fox Clan Chief, named Yin Ning. He was a Celestial Immortal eight hundred years ago."

These are the words that Yu Xuanbing brought back after his return.

Upon hearing this, Shi Chun felt a chill run down his spine, immediately realizing that his impersonation of Qingqiu Patriarch's friend had been exposed and that they had come to arrest him.

Before a bunch of troubles had been resolved, a new big problem arose. He was speechless. He just couldn't understand how the Golden Rat Clan's escape could have been such a good thing, but how could it have been so coincidental that he was exposed? Where the hell could he go to reason with them?

He finally understood what it meant for man to plan against God; he never dreamed that Yin Xu would interfere and make things turn out this way.

There's nothing we can do but take it one step at a time for now.

"Let's go, let's try the 'Big Dipper Spirit Repelling Array' in the Underworld first," Shi Chun sighed.

The group quietly left.

When Yu Xuanbing returned to the underworld, his face was covered and his expression was not visible, but his reaction as he looked around revealed his feelings of emotion.

After observing the surroundings, Shi Chun spoke up: "This place is not far from Yongcheng. Senior Yu, you are familiar with this area. You should know which secluded place is suitable for testing the grand formation, right?" Yu Xuanbing didn't waste any words. With a wave of his hand, he cast a spell and swept the two of them away, much faster than Feng Lin.

He also wanted to see if the 'Big Dipper Spirit Repelling Array' that had been taken away could still be used.

After a high-speed flight, the group landed in a hazy, undulating area. They didn't know where they were, but Yu Xuanbing said that this place should be fine, so Shi Chun took out the metal umbrella.

Following the method of control he had learned from the Golden-haired Rat Chieftain Jinfuna, he grasped the fan handle, cast a spell, and spun it in the motion.

The metal umbrella emanated a wave of power, and as it gently rotated and opened, a vast force descended from the sky, suddenly brightening the heavens.

The three looked up and saw a patch of starry sky slowly emerging from the darkness, as if a dark cloud had parted to reveal itself.

That immense power directly connected with the umbrella, spreading out along its edges.

According to Jin Fu, the protective distance of the array is determined by the extent to which the umbrella is opened, with a maximum protective distance of 800 li in radius.

Shi Chun didn't dare to expand the range too much. After opening it halfway, he pulled out the golden command arrow from the fan handle.

The umbrella was immediately drawn into the air by the immense power descending from the sky, rippled through the void and into the starry sky. As it spun, the umbrella surface opened completely, and the twelve panels on it transformed into streams of light that flew into the starry sky in all directions.

Suddenly, thirteen streams of light shot out from the darkness above. One of them fell straight down, transforming into a golden gong that Shi Chun caught. The other twelve shot out in twelve different directions.

After a tremor in the ground, the illusory starry sky above suddenly vanished, and everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

The three looked around, and Shi Chun, following the guidance of the flowing light on the golden gong, pointed in a direction and said, "That's the exit."

So Yu Xuanbing grabbed the two of them and flew away, where they crashed into a virtual wave barrier nearly a hundred miles away.

To test the defensive strength, Yu Xuanbing, such a good worker, might as well make the most of it. So Yu Xuanbing attacked the Void Wave Defense with all his might. Well, the defense is not bad, it didn't break through.

The three then tested opening the door by striking a gong, and tested the golden arrow emitting shimmering light as the sphere entered and exited.

The results showed that everything was fine and everything was normal.

The three then ran back to the location where they had set up the formation, and once again used the golden command arrow to retrieve the umbrella in the starry sky. The 'Big Dipper Spirit Repelling Formation' was now completely in Shi Chun's hands.

Yu Xuanbing, dressed in a black cloak and standing with his arms crossed, watched Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang excitedly gesturing and spouting nonsense about how they could just hide in the formation if they encountered a powerful opponent in the future.

Yu Xuanbing observed this without speaking and did not participate...

Its daybreak.

When dawn broke, Shi Chun still hadn't come to keep the appointment. Yin Ning, who had been hiding in the bushes, appeared and flew directly to Yin Xu and Tian Shen's side.

Holding the mother-child talisman, Yin Xu explained in confusion, "I don't know what happened, there's been no reply."

Yin Ning said indifferently, "No need to wait, he won't come. He should have people in the city, and he should know what happened there. It is said that the guy is cunning, so it seems that he will not be easy to catch. Besides, he is on guard. It is unrealistic for the few of us to find him."

“Then…” Yin Xu looked at Tian Shen, not knowing what to do.

Yin Ning: "We can only go back to Qingqiu first. You can explain things to the clan leader slowly. But before you leave, you have to hand over that Martial Hall Master of the Extreme Fire Sect..." She turned her head to look at the Divine Mountain, and then took out the Mother-Child Talisman to send a message.

At the summit of the sacred mountain, Feng Xi, the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan, whose interrogation had yielded no results, stood on the edge of the mountain watching the sunrise, but the brilliant light could not dispel the gloom on his face.

Feng Qingping suddenly appeared and landed beside him, reporting, "Clan leader, Yin Ning has sent word that he wants us to hand over the people."

Feng Xi turned around, frowning, and said, "Hand over the person? Do we have anyone here that she wants?"

Feng Qingping smiled wryly: "Qiu Ben, the head of the Extreme Fire Sect's Martial Hall."

Feng Xi said in a deep voice, "What is she doing? She made such a scene in the city, even arresting Elder Ying Gang of the Extreme Fire Sect and the Western Emperor of Hanzhou Domain. Why is she still targeting a mere hall master?"

Feng Qingping's bitter smile deepened. "I told her to let it go, but she said it wasn't enough. She said she had already killed Ying Gang and the Western Emperor..."

"Hiss..." Feng Xi gasped, turned to look at her, his face full of shock. He wanted to ask if she had gone mad. It was one thing to arrest the elders of the Extreme Fire Sect and the Lord of the Royal Court in public, but to kill them directly? Did she want to start a war with the Royal Court or with the Extreme Fire Sect?
"She said it's outrageous to bully people like this. They slept with her, a woman from the fox clan, and then crippled her, and even allowed others to come and bully her. What kind of logic is this? Yin Xu has no grudge against the Extreme Fire Sect, so why did Qiu Ben come to their door? Where were the laws of the royal court when they were needed? She said that even bringing up the Qingqiu Ancestor didn't work, and Yin Xu was still injured like that. She said this was a slap in the face to the Qingqiu Ancestor, and that this was intolerable. She said this matter wasn't over, and that Qiu Ben had to be handed over to her. She wanted to take him back to Qingqiu and make the Extreme Fire Sect give Qingqiu an explanation, saying that this matter had nothing to do with us and that we shouldn't get involved."

"Hehe." Feng Xi suddenly chuckled and sneered, "It's over. They've got a blackmail attempt. These poor bastards are probably going to make the Extreme Fire Sect bleed a lot. Fine, let them make a scene. Give her the person."

Feng Qingping reminded him, "Aren't we supposed to hand it over to the Eastern Victory Royal Court as an explanation?"

Feng Xi: "Hand over the other Extreme Fire Sect disciples to Dong Sheng. As for Qiu Ben... well, let him return to the Extreme Fire Sect. Just inform Yin Ning of the time and place of his release. We won't get involved in their mess."
