"Jadeleaf King?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
The Jadeleaf King was the third strongest of the Five Upper Kings. To think that he would be here as well!
Just the Stoneleaf King alone had nearly wiped out their entire army. If an even stronger Jadeleaf King were to appear, how could they possibly deal with him?
However, given his current identity as the Violetleaf King, he couldn't turn down the other party's request. Besides, since he knew that the other party was here, rather than hiding behind him, he might as well meet the other party in advance.
"He is in the vicinity. I'll call him over right now …"
With a flick of his wrist, the Stoneleaf King whipped out a Communication Jade Token. He tapped on it casually and sent a message over. After that was done, he turned to Zhang Xuan with a doubtful look in his eyes. "Since he is a Celestial Master Teacher, why would he appear here and be noticed by you?"
Clearly, he was still a little worried about the young man before him.
After all, the Violetleaf King had disappeared for half a month before suddenly reappearing. On top of that, he had even disguised himself as a human and made a move on him.
Besides, Celestial Master Teachers were incredibly rare. If they were to appear, they would surely be under the strict protection of Mingshi Tang. How could the other party have been able to find them so easily?
"Speaking of which, this Celestial Master Teacher didn't appear in a Sage Clan or the headquarters of Mingshi Tang. Instead, he appeared in an unranked kingdom, and he slowly made his way here …"
Zhang Xuan chuckled softly. "In order to prevent others from noticing him, he has been concealing his identity all this while. In other words, the headquarters of Mingshi Tang are unaware of his appearance. It was a coincidence that I discovered him when I was investigating the Poison Temple in Jingyuan City, and I happened to notice that he had received the acknowledgement of the heavens. That was how I was able to ascertain his identity … "
"You mean to say that … you saw him when he was receiving the acknowledgement of the heavens?"
The Stoneleaf King was astonished.
"That's right!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
"Then … what kind of phenomenon is it?" the Stoneleaf King asked curiously.
"It's simple. A unique aura will descend from the heavens and shroud the Master Teacher Pavilion, and all master teachers will feel an immense pressure pressing down on them, forcing them to acknowledge the Master Teacher Pavilion's identity and standing. On top of that, the Master Teacher Pavilion will also be struck by the chiming of countless bells, and all sorts of bizarre phenomena will appear.
Zhang Xuan chuckled.
He had experienced the acknowledgement of a Celestial Master Teacher three times in total, so he knew exactly what would happen. Thus, he didn't hesitate to say it out loud.
"It seems like he really is a Celestial Master Teacher …" The Stoneleaf King nodded.
Even though Zhang Xuan had never seen such a grand sight before, he had heard of all kinds of legends and books regarding it, and the sight before him was similar to what the Violetleaf King had described.
It seemed, even if the person lying on the ground was not a Celestial King, was King, he.
"If I were to capture a Celestial Master Teacher and hand it over to the royal family, I would be able to make a huge contribution to the empire …"
A glint flashed across the Stoneleaf King's eyes.
There was no doubt about the importance of a Celestial Master Teacher. If this news were to turn out to be true, the entire Otherworldly Demonic Tribe would be shocked.
J Saint Saint King's Saint had had King, he had and King, he, the King had by Saint by Saint, the other King, the Saint had Zhang Him by Xuan, by, he.
However, if the credit belonged to him alone, it would be easy for him to obtain it. But if it belonged to the other party … Even if he didn't help, he wouldn't be able to get anything at all.
After all, he has been missing for so long, who knows whether he has betrayed the Spirit Tribe or not?
After all, this Celestial Master Teacher had been tricked by the Violetleaf King into bringing him to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. As long as I can get rid of his corpse quickly, no one will suspect anything …
A glint flashed across Zhang Xuan's eyes as he discreetly shot a glance at the Violetleaf King. Even though they were both members of the Ten Great Kings, they didn't share any feelings for one another. On the contrary, they were even competitors.
The Qingtian royal family had always distributed resources based on contribution, and over the years, they had been longing for the deaths of the other Kings.
This was also the reason why no one felt the slightest sympathy or sorrow for the other Kings when they heard that the other Kings had been killed. Instead, they were all delighted!
"I was the one who brought this fellow here, so I know everything about him. Furthermore, he has already treated me as a true friend … If you kill me, not only will you not be able to convince him to submit to you, it might even backfire!"
Seeing through the killing intent in the Violetleaf King's eyes, Zhang Xuan chuckled softly.
From what the Violetleaf King had told him, he had already learned of the relationship between the Ten Great Kings. The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe was a cold-blooded tribe, so it was clear that the Stoneleaf King wanted to hog the credit of a Celestial Master Teacher for himself.
"Violetleaf King, what are you talking about? You were the one who found this fellow and brought him here, so naturally, the credit belongs to you. Why would I make a move on you?"
The Stoneleaf King chuckled dryly as he concealed the ferocity in his eyes. He gripped the Lightning Elemental Orb tightly, seemingly ready to make a move at any moment.
"There's no need for us to disguise ourselves. If I were stronger, I wouldn't have wasted my breath on you, and I wouldn't have told you his identity either …"
Zhang Xuan shook his head. "However, I advise you not to make a move on him. Otherwise, if he dies, you won't be able to verify his identity. Even if you send him back to the tribe, it would be a futile effort."
"This …"
Hearing those words, the Stoneleaf King hesitated for a moment before releasing his grip. "That's right. Don't worry, I won't make a move on you."
The other party was right. Whether the other party was a Celestial Master Teacher or not wasn't up to them. They had to verify the other party's identity first. If the other party were to die, there would be no way to verify the other party's identity.
"You won't make a move on me? I don't believe you, unless you make a vow to the Spirit God! "Zhang Xuan shook his head.
"Vow?" The Stoneleaf King frowned.
"That's right. As long as you make a vow not to make a move on me, I will say that we were the ones who discovered and captured him at the same time."
Zhang Xuan.
"Oh?" The Stoneleaf King was perplexed.
Of course, it would be best for him to claim the credit for himself. After all, an additional person meant an additional portion of the pie.
"My strength doesn't count for much among the Ten Great Kings. If someone were to covet the credit, I wouldn't be able to retaliate even if I wanted to. Besides, the credit of becoming a Celestial Master Teacher is simply too great, and I won't be able to reap it all by myself. If I have someone to look after me, I'll be much safer.
Zhang Xuan nodded in response.
"This …" The Stoneleaf King fell into deep thought.
The other party was right. The credit of becoming a Celestial Master Teacher was indeed immense. With the strength of the fellow before him, it was impossible for him to claim the credit for himself.
As long as he could pull the Stoneleaf King over to his side, he would be much safer.
Of course, more importantly, given the Stoneleaf King's strength, it would be easy for him to find a way to deal with the Stoneleaf King.
Not too long later, the Stoneleaf King came to a realization, and he asked, "What do I have to do for you to trust me?"
"Simple. I have some wine here, and you and I will swear a blood oath to the Spirit God that neither of us will harm the other. If that's the case, I will trust you!"
With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Xuan took out a gourd of wine and turned to the Stoneleaf King.
"A blood oath?" The Stoneleaf King hesitated.
"That's right. I advise you to consider it quickly. Once the Jadeleaf King arrives and learns of his identity, I fear that he might make a move on both of us …"
Zhang Xuan.
Even master teachers were no exception to this rule, let alone the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
If the Jadeleaf King were to learn that the fellow before him was a Celestial Master Teacher, there was a good chance that he would try to claim the credit for himself and make a move on the both of them.
More importantly … if the Jadeleaf King were to side with the Jadeleaf King, the one who would be isolated would be him.
A glint flashed across the Stoneleaf King's eyes as he made up his mind.
He was well aware of the personalities of the Ten Great Kings, especially the greedy and vicious Jadeleaf King. It was not entirely impossible for him to turn against his own kin.
Given the Jadeleaf King's strength, even if the both of them were to work together, they might not be a match for him.
"Let's begin then!"
Seeing that the Stoneleaf King had agreed to it, Zhang Xuan took out his blood and dripped it into the gourd before tossing it over.
Catching the gourd, the Stoneleaf King discreetly sent his Spiritual Perception into it, and after confirming that it was indeed fine wine, he felt reassured. Thus, he bit his finger and dripped a droplet of his blood into the gourd.
"Drink up!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
"Alright!" The Stoneleaf King raised the gourd, and just as he was about to gulp down the wine, a thought flashed across his mind, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "You first!"
Glancing at the Stoneleaf King, Zhang Xuan knew what the Stoneleaf King was worried about, so he took the gourd and gulped down two mouthfuls of wine.
Seeing that there was no problem with the Stoneleaf King drinking the wine, the Stoneleaf King heaved a sigh of relief. The Stoneleaf King also took a few mouthfuls before raising his hand and swearing to the heavens.
"I, the Stoneleaf King, swear to the Spirit God that I am willing to form an alliance with the Violetleaf King.
"I, the Violetleaf King, swear to the Spirit God that I am willing to form an alliance with the Violetleaf King …"
Seeing that the Stoneleaf King had made his vow, Zhang Xuan hurriedly followed suit.
In any case, he had sworn on the name of the Violetleaf King that it had nothing to do with him at all.
"If the Jadeleaf King harbors any other thoughts, I hope that we can work together to face the enemy together," Zhang Xuan said.
"Don't worry." The Stoneleaf King nodded.
Celestial Master Teachers were simply too rare, and only the Jadeleaf King had a way to verify them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent the other party over.
Once he confirmed that the Jadeleaf King was a Celestial Master Teacher, he wouldn't mind killing the other party!
"How about this? After confirming that the Jadeleaf King is a Celestial Master Teacher and that the Jadeleaf King harbors any other thoughts, watch for my signal …"
After a moment of contemplation, the Stoneleaf King turned to Zhang Xuan and said.
Even though he couldn't fully trust the Stoneleaf King, he was still leaning toward the other party.
"Alright!"
Zhang Xuan nodded. "After confirming his identity, I will test him out. It's one thing if he doesn't say anything, but if he really intends to kill him … I hope that the Stoneleaf King can make a swift and decisive move. We are in the same boat at the moment, and we share weal and woe together. "
"Un."
The Stoneleaf King nodded. Just as the duo was about to speak, a loud buzzing sound suddenly echoed in the air, and a towering figure flew over.
"Stoneleaf King, don't you know that I have more important matters to attend to? Why are you looking for me in such a hurry? "
Huala!
A powerful Otherworldly Demon landed on the ground.
