Liu Hong and the other two old men's faces had turned purple when facing the disdainful gazes from the crowd. If there was a hole on the ground right now, they would jump into it without hesitation.
This was too shameful, they were too ashamed to continue living.
They had lived for so long, but they were tricked by a young man and a dog. This incident was destined to become a humiliation that they would never be able to forget for the rest of their lives. From now on, they would never be able to raise their heads in the Green Sanctuary Sect again.
"Sect Chief, please punish me. I was the one who brought Firethorn Savage back, it has nothing to do with those two."
Liu Hong said while gritting his teeth. At this critical moment, he was able to take on all the responsibility. This made Liu Hong's impression in the other two old men's hearts improve.
"Sect Chief, when that young man took out the golden egg, we were there as well. It's not only Sect Elder Liu Hong's fault, we can only blame ourselves for being blind, we didn't realize it was Firethorn Savage's cub, that's why we were fooled by that young man."
Another Sect Elder said in a righteous manner. But right after his words left his mouth, Qing Styx immediately scolded him. Even Liu Hong and the other old man were staring at him angrily. If this old man didn't know how to speak, he should just shut his fucking mouth.
"Bastard, are you trying to say that I was blind as well? I couldn't tell where the golden egg came from? I sensed a familiar aura from the golden egg, but I was fooled by you three idiots, that's why I didn't pay any attention to it!"
Qing Styx shouted out loudly. The old man's back was instantly covered in sweat. Only now did he realize what he said was wrong, because Qing Styx also couldn't tell that it was Firethorn Savage's cub. So, when he said the three old men were blind, he was basically saying that Qing Styx was blind as well.
Liu Hong and the other two old men sighed. It looked like not only was this guy blind, he didn't even have a mind. It was a miracle that he was able to live to such an old age and reach the Divine Core realm.
"Sect Chief, please don't blame me, that's not what I meant."
The old man wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly explained.
"Alright, we can't blame all of you for this, just blame that young man."
Qing Styx waved his hand.
At the mention of the white-clothed young man and Da Huang Dog, Liu Hong and the other two were instantly enraged. The resentment in their eyes was so intense that it was as if the air itself was going to burn.
"Sect Master, that kid shouldn't have gone far. This old man will definitely catch him and bring him back."
Liu Hong said fiercely.
"Fine, I will give you a chance to redeem yourselves. Bring that young man back. All the losses of the Qing Ming House will be on him, and that damn dog."
Qing Styx's anger could not be quenched. The Qing Ming School was one of the biggest sects in the Qian Province, and everyone respected them. When had something like this ever happened? Today's loss was way too big, and they almost lost their foundation. If they did not find the culprit, where would the face of the Qing Ming School go? Qing Styx would not be able to stay in the Qian Province anymore.
"Alright!"
Liu Hong and the other two stood up from the ground and walked towards the exit of the palace. This was their only chance to wash away their shame. They had to catch that young man and that dog, and tear them into a million pieces to vent their anger.
"Sect Chief, Firethorn Savage now hates our Qing Ming School. He said that we are not allowed to enter the Misty Mountain anymore. This is a great loss for us, and our disciples will lose a great place to train."
After the three left, an elder said.
"That's right, Sect Chief, the Misty Mountain has suffered a great loss. But after today's incident, Firethorn Savage has been holding a grudge against us, and he views us as his mortal enemy. I'm afraid our disciples won't be able to step into the Misty Mountain anymore."
Another elder said with a worried tone.
"Hmph! Don't worry, the resources of the Misty Mountain will never be wasted. Besides, this is a great opportunity for us to rule the Misty Mountain. "
Qing Styx let out a cold harrumph, and a cold smile could be seen on his face.
"Sect Chief, you have a great plan?"
All the elders were delighted.
"That's right, Firethorn Savage has burned his own life force during the battle, so it won't take long before he enters a weakened state. Firethorn Savage won't be as scary when he's in a weakened state, and he'll turn from a ferocious tiger into a sheep. However, I'm also severely injured right now, so I'll rest for two days and fully recover my strength. After that, I'll personally enter the Misty Mountain and kill this Firethorn Savage. His demon soul and baby are both priceless treasures, and if I can get them, I might be able to break through the bottleneck I've been stuck in for more than ten years, and break through to the Combat Soul realm."
Qing Styx sneered as he continued fantasizing about his plan.
"Great, this is really great! This is indeed a great opportunity to kill Firethorn Savage! If Sect Chief can break through to the Combat Soul realm, he'll be the first Combat Soul warrior in the Qian Province! At that point of time, he'll be able to wipe out all the other sects in the Qian Province, and unify the entire Qian Province! At that point of time, our Green Sanctuary Sect will be valued by the Martial Saint Dynasty, just like those other provinces!"
"That's right, the Qian Province is just one of the lowest provinces in the Eastern Continent, and we don't have any Combat Soul warriors. That's why the Martial Saint Dynasty has ignored us. Once Sect Chief breaks through to the Combat Soul realm, everything will be different! A Combat Soul warrior will be valued by the Martial Saint Dynasty!"
Hearing that Qing Styx had a chance to break through to the Combat Soul realm, all the elders were overjoyed. All of them started fantasizing about the future of the Green Sanctuary Sect.
If all these Divine Core warriors banded together and charged into Misty Mountain, they could wait until Firethorn Savage was in his weakest state, and they would definitely be able to kill Firethorn Savage. Even Jiang Chen wouldn't be able to stop them. If that was the case, their dream would come true.
But too bad, Firethorn Savage had just left, and they didn't dare enter the Misty Mountain right now. They could only wait for their Sect Chief to recover. Of course, they had no idea that someone had already entered the Misty Mountain before them.
In the center of the Misty Mountain, Firethorn Savage carefully placed the golden egg in his cave. After that, he walked out of the cave and laid down on the ground. It was obvious that Firethorn Savage was extremely tired, and his eyes were blank. In just a few breaths of time, he had fallen into a deep sleep. He didn't notice that there were two guys sneaking around not far away from him.
Jiang Chen and Da Huang Dog were still lying on the ground, staring at Firethorn Savage who had fallen into a deep sleep. Right at this moment, the blood red glow around Firethorn Savage's body hadn't completely disappeared. This meant that his weakened state hadn't arrived yet.
Jiang Chen was a very patient man. He had waited for a few days, so he didn't mind waiting a little longer. However, they couldn't rush out at this moment. Firethorn Savage wasn't in a weakened state, and he was even stronger than when he was in his peak condition. Rushing out at this moment was no different than courting death.
"I'm guessing his weakened state will arrive in at most an hour."
Da Huang Dog said.
"That's right, when his weakened state arrives, we'll strike immediately and kill him."
Jiang Chen said that the reason he came to Misty Mountain in the Qian Province was for this very moment. With the full 'help' from the Green Sanctuary Sect, Jiang Chen was finally able to achieve his goal in a very short period of time.
An hour later, the blood red glow around Firethorn Savage's body had completely disappeared, even the golden glow around his body had dimmed down. Jiang Chen and Da Huang Dog could clearly sense that Firethorn Savage was extremely tired, and even his source energy was extremely weak.
"Firethorn Savage's weakened state has arrived."
Da Huang Dog's eyes lit up. Firethorn Savage's current state was the true weakened state. During this state, Firethorn Savage's combat strength couldn't even be unleashed by 1% of his peak condition. He was extremely weak, and he wouldn't be able to defeat any Early Divine Core warrior.
Jiang Chen's expression changed. The critical moment had arrived. He had a solemn expression on his face. As the saying goes, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Even though Firethorn Savage was in a weakened state, he still dared not underestimate his opponent.
"Da Huang Dog, you walk in front of Firethorn Savage and attack him from the front. I'll go behind him and sneak attack him. We'll try to kill Firethorn Savage with one strike, we won't give him any chance to react. If not, he might have some other powerful attacks up his sleeves."
Jiang Chen squinted his eyes and said word by word. He had always been a meticulous person, and he would never allow any accidents to happen. Although Firethorn Savage had fallen into a weakened state, once a rare beast like this decided to risk its life, it might come up with some earth-shattering attack. Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and said slowly.
Therefore, Jiang Chen didn't want to give Firethorn Savage any chance, he just wanted to kill him with one strike.
"Alright!"
Da Huang Dog's face was filled with excitement. His body was covered in a golden glow, and he dashed forward like a bolt of lightning. Mysterious symbols appeared on his steel-like head, and he rammed it towards Firethorn Savage's head.
Swoosh!
Firethorn Savage, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes. A sense of danger rose from his heart. He had never thought that there would be such a great danger hiding beside him.
Too bad, Da Huang Dog's speed was too fast, it was as fast as lightning. Even if Firethorn Savage managed to react in time, he still wouldn't be able to dodge Da Huang Dog's attack.
Bang!
Da Huang Dog's head rammed into Firethorn Savage's head. Without any defense, how could Firethorn Savage, who was in a weakened state, withstand Da Huang Dog's attack?
After all, Da Huang Dog's head was something that could even shatter a mid-ranked combat weapon.
Aowuu …
Firethorn Savage's huge body was sent flying backward. He raised his head and let out a miserable howl. A bloody hole had appeared on his huge head after being rammed by Da Huang Dog. Blood and brain matter were gushing out from the wound. This was a fatal injury.
Da Huang Dog's head was like a divine weapon, it would definitely be fatal if it was attacked by a sneak attack.
However, even after suffering such a serious injury, Firethorn Savage still wouldn't die. His demon beast bloodline was too powerful. Even though he was in a weakened state, even after suffering such a serious injury, he still had a strong fighting strength. When a ferocious demon beast like this attacked with all its might, it would be extremely terrifying.
Roar!
Firethorn Savage was instantly enraged. A powerful demon beast dared to sneak attack him in his territory, this was absolutely intolerable. He felt that his dignity had been greatly challenged.
