Chapter 729: Coerce

The 10,000-legged Venerable One looked up at the sky and uttered with lingering fear, “It’s gone, it’s... Finally gone.”

An anxious look could still be seen in the eyes of the well-known insect powerhouse.

Among the Insects in Danzhou, the 10,000-legged Venerable One had an honorable position indeed. In terms of military power only, it was probably superior to Ghost-clawed Venerable One and the other insect Venerable Ones.

Nonetheless, regardless of its sublime status and notable military power, it was frightened out of its wits after it saw Feng Xiang kill the 3 other insect Venerable Ones with ease.

This was because it knew it was no different from a tiny ant to the giant bird.

A blood light flickered and spoke, “Yes, the Phoenixes’ powerhouses have left this world, so you don’t need to worry anymore.”

“Don’t need to worry anymore?” The 10,000-legged Venerable One glared at it. “Blood Shadow, it’s easy for you to say that. What do you mean that I don’t need to worry anymore? Don’t forget that there’s a messenger from the Phoenixes in this world!” It paused for a while before it continued, “And this messenger won’t forget about me for sure.”

It looked furiously at the blood light with strong killing intent, but it also knew the blood light’s owner was bizarre and unpredictable. Even if it racked its brain, it would not be able to kill that being.

The blood-light figure swayed and noted, “10,000-legged Venerable One, based on your abilities, you don’t need to care about a young fella, who’s only an Intermediate Spiritualist.”

“Hmph, do you think that he’s only an ordinary young fella?” The 10,000-legged Venerable One was infuriated. “If you continue to be so half-hearted, your cooperation with the Insects will end here.”

The red figure chuckled. “10,000-legged Venerable One, you were scared by the Phoenixes.”

Stunned, the Venerable One fell silent for a brief moment and replied to the figure, “So what if I was scared? Heh, don’t tell me that you’re able to face the Phoenixes without fear. I wasn’t the first one that escaped.” It looked disdainful.

“I admit that I’m not its opponent now, so I would’ve died a graveless death if it spotted me. Even so, I’m not afraid of it,” the red figure responded.

“Oh, is that so?” Even a fool could tell that the Venerable One was ridiculing the figure.

Instead of being enraged, the red figure asked, “10,000-legged Venerable One, are you aware of my identity?”

The Venerable One was dumbfounded. It answered,” Hmph, you disguised yourselves very well, but we know you’re the followers of the Sky-devouring Devil God.” It sneered as it continued, “Ever since the Devil God fell, you began to hide everywhere and are still washed-up now.”

Upon hearing it, the red figure sighed. “You’re right. You said so much, but do you have any idea about Sir Devil God’s origin?”

The 10,000-legged Venerable One finally looked grim. It kept quiet for a long time and answered, “I have no idea.”

“Heh, then do you know why sir suddenly fell at the apex of its power? Do you know who did it?” The red figure condensed, making it look like a real person.

The 10,000-legged Venerable One was moved as it vaguely guessed something. “Could it be related to the Phoenixes?”

“You’re right. Back when sir was at its peak, it encountered a top-grade powerhouse from the Phoenixes. They were both defeated and wounded after a fight, and their whereabouts became unknown after that.” The red figure sighed. “If that hadn’t happened, the living beings in this realm would’ve been our bloody food.”

The eyes of the 10,000-legged Venerable One flickered, and it thought, ‘Luckily, the phoenix made a move and got rid of that scourge, or the Spiritual Realm would’ve been doomed eternally.

It rolled its eyes and raised another question, “They were both defeated and wounded? With a phoenix... Heh, Blood Shadow, aren’t you exaggerating it?”

The red figure did not argue with the Venerable One. It stated, “10,000-legged Venerable One, Sir Devil God’s the inheritor of that race. What’s so great about the Phoenixes? They’re only equally famous with that race.”

“Equally famous?” The 10,000-legged Venerable One gasped. It felt a chill down its long spine.

“Yes, I’m sure you guessed it,” the red figure uttered coldly.

“Th-this...” The 10,000-legged Venerable One was extremely afraid. It initially thought that if their discussion did not go well, it would not hesitate to fall out with Blood Shadow. Nevertheless, after hearing what the red figure said, it could not bring itself to speak harshly anymore.

The red figure noted coldly, “10,000-legged, I’d like to capture Ou Yangming, and I need your help.”

“Ah, no way!” The 10,000-legged Venerable One blurted subconsciously. Despite that, after seeing the unpleasant look on the red figure’s face, it immediately added, “Blood Shadow, I dare not provoke you, but I can’t afford to offend the Phoenixes too; I just don’t want to help any of you.”

“Heh, I can’t force you indeed if you don’t know sir’s secret.” The red figure sneered. “But do you think that you can still look on without doing anything now?”

The 10,000-legged Venerable One was struck dumb for some time, and it cursed at Blood Shadow internally. Having said that, after hesitating for a long time, it dared not refuse to help the red figure, hence it expressed, “Blood Shadow, I don’t dare to help you go against the Phoenixes’ messenger openly.”

“Oh, so that’s your concern.” The red figure laughed. “This is easy—you only need to assist me, and I guarantee you that nobody will notice you. Besides...” It prolonged its intonation before it continued, “I assure you that once Sir Devil God is resurrected, it’ll surely put you in an important position.”

The 10,000-legged Venerable One sighed a breath of relief and agreed to it helplessly.

However, its mind was in a mess.

‘Can I count on Sir Devil God to put me in an important position? I’m better off hoping that I’ll act smartly when the time comes and not let anyone find anything to use against me.’

※※※※

On Mount Wuzhi, clouds and mist enveloped the different peaks.

Multi-armed King Kong, the goshawk, Wu Yuanwei, and Hong Feiyu were seen sitting boringly on a platform on one of the giant peaks.

When they entered the Spiritual Realm from the lower realm, they never expected to end up in such an awkward situation.

It was unbelievable that Ou Yangming and Big Yellow went missing during the transmission. What more, the little bird went mad after that and reprimanded Danzhou’s 9 Venerable Ones before it flew away.

Wu Yuanwei was so shocked at that time that his heart almost stopped beating. He initially thought that the 9 Venerable Ones would be angered while he and his companions would suffer terrible fates.

Who knew, instead of killing them out of anger, the Venerable Ones simply sent them to this platform. They were not allowed to leave nor communicate with the outside world, but they did not need to worry about basic necessities.

The house arrest was difficult to bear, but it was 100 or 1,000 times better than the outcome that Wu Yuanwei had expected.

Ever since Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk arrived here, they had been cultivating quietly. It was as though they had accepted their fates as they never took drastic actions such as trying to escape and so on. On the other hand, Wu Yuanwei and Hong Feiyu eventually became anxious.

As Wu Yuanwei stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at the other peaks that were surrounded by clouds, he sighed helplessly.

Hong Feiyu looked up at him and advised him, “Brother Wu, don’t overthink. Ah, we’re on Mount Wuzhi, after all, so we should be grateful that we’re still alive.”

Being a local from the Spiritual Realm, he naturally knew what Danzhou’s Nine Great Sects represented.

In the lower realm, Spirit Grade powerhouses were almighty as they surpassed everything there, but they were not much in the Spiritual Realm.

There were countless such powerhouses in the Nine Great Sects. Unless one was a top-grade Spiritualist, one would not be valued by one’s sect at all. In fact, the sects could easily make them disappear without any reason.

Wu Yuanwei smiled bitterly and said, “Brother Hong, I’m only worried about the lower realm.”

“The lower realm? What are you worried about?” Hong Feiyu found it odd.

“Back in the lower realm, the Wu family has always been watched over by Spiritualists for generations, which is why we’re prestigious. Now that the disaster has just ended in the lower realm, every clan has limited damages, but I came to the upper realm... Ah,” Wu Yuanwei explained helplessly and shook his head. It was clear through his eyes that he was deeply concerned.

Hong Feiyu shook his head and remarked, “Why are you still worrying about the lower realm? Since you’re here now, you shouldn’t care about it anymore.”

Wu Yuanwei looked snappily at him and thought, ‘This fella doesn’t need to worry at all, but how can I let it go?’

He turned around to look at the humongous Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk. The massive beasts were with them, but they were far more relaxed as if they had no worries.

The elder lamented, ‘The Beasts have big hearts indeed.’

Just as he was sighing, his vision went blurry as a figure showed up on the platform without a sound.

Upon seeing the elder, not only Wu Yuanwei, but the carefree Multi-armed King Kong, which seemed like it was not bothered about anything at all, quickly kneeled with stern looks on their faces.

“Greetings, Lingfeng the Venerable One,” Wu Yuanwei uttered with respect.

Hong Feiyu and the 2 spirit beasts bowed at the Venerable One as well. Regardless of their thoughts, they dared not be impolite toward the Venerable One.

Lingfeng the Venerable One nodded and grinned. “You may forego the formalities—please get up.”

Wu Yuanwei stood up and exchanged glances with Hong Feiyu. They were taken aback by the unexpected favor and were puzzled.

Ever since they came here, they seemed to have been forgotten. Tir basic necessities were taken care of, but they could not leave the mountain.

They had smiled apologetically to many guards, but they were only treated with indifference. In fact, the guards even looked at them arrogantly and scornfully.

Indeed, whether it was Hong Feiyu—a rogue cultivator—or Wu Yuanwei from the lower realm, the powerhouses from Mount Wuzhi would not treat them well.

Wu Yuanwei and Hong Feiyu were displeased, but there was nothing they could do. Therefore, they were in disbelief when a Venerable One visited them with a friendly attitude.

Lingfeng the Venerable One glanced at them with bright eyes and said, “Ou Yangming has been found. Would you... Like to meet him?”
