Just as Fang Xing and the Great Golden Crow were suffering from lightning strikes and water disasters, the legend of the bet between the little devil Nan Zhan and the Nimble Sect in the Northern Region of the Divine Land was also being discussed by countless people.
After all, the Nimble Sect was a large sect in the Northern Region with a prominent reputation. Moreover, Fang Xing's actions in the Tianyi Palace had also attracted a lot of attention. Whether it was his identity or his abilities, they all made people very curious. Although on the surface, it seemed that Fang Xing going against the Nimble Sect was no different from courting death, no matter how they thought about it, they didn't think that he would throw his life away for nothing. This caused people to speculate about his purpose.
Some people thought that this little devil was just a dead duck with a stubborn mouth. Sooner or later, he would lower his head and admit defeat, obediently handing over the magic treasures of the Nimble Sect.
There were also people who thought that this little devil might be secretly instructed by the Dragon King to dig a big hole for the Nimble Sect.
However, no matter what, no one believed that Fang Xing really dared to fight the Nimble Sect alone. This matter was too frightening!
The power of one person was the power of one person. No matter how strong he was, there would always be a limit.
If the little devil's abilities had really reached the level of the Divine Son, then if the Nimble Sect didn't send out a Yuanying, they might really not be able to do anything to him. After all, if they sent people to hunt him down and they couldn't defeat him, then they could surround him. If the situation was not good, he could also escape and wait for an opportunity to take revenge. This was a situation that would give anyone a headache. However, if the other party showed their horses and let him attack, perhaps even the Divine Son wouldn't be able to do it.
The foundation of the Nimble Sect was not for nothing. There were countless masters in the Three Peaks and Five Valleys. Just the Three Peak Masters alone were three cultivators at the Peak of the Gold Core Realm. In particular, the Peak Master of the Mystical Peak cast a magic seal. He was originally a young talent of the previous generation and was expected to become one of the youngest Yuanying cultivators in the Northern Region. To some extent, his reputation was even more prominent than that of ordinary Yuanying cultivators.
As for the other two peak leaders, even if their cultivations were not as good as his, they were not far behind. No matter who it was, they did not think that the little devil had the ability to survive the joint attack of the three Golden Core Realm cultivators. Moreover, the little devil wanted to gamble more than that. He wanted to gamble with the entire Lingqiao Sect. He wanted to break into the Lingqiao Sect's grand formation fair and square before leaving the Tianyi Palace.
To put it bluntly, this was simply courting death!
Now, the Nimble Sect had already mobilized. Although victory was within their grasp, under the leadership of cast a magic seal, the Nimble Sect didn't show the slightest bit of contempt. Not only did they transfer three thousand disciples and a hundred elders to the area around Tianyi Palace to form a defensive formation, they also took out more than half of the Nimble Sect's foundation. All kinds of powerful magical items and mysterious talismans were distributed like flowing water. As if they were facing a great enemy, they also issued a decree in the name of the Nimble Sect's Yuanying Ancestor, inviting many cultivators who were proficient in various Daos to come and hold the fort.
It was reported that the Nimble Sect originally wanted to ask the Ancestor Yuanying to come out of his closed-door training. However, due to the Azure Sea Dragon God's reputation, they didn't want to be so ruthless. In addition, it was inconvenient for Yuanying to make a move, so they also gave up on this idea and only used their Gold Cores to fight the enemy.
However, even if Yuanying didn't make a move, there were some who knew the inside story that secretly spread the news that the Nimble Sect had invested a lot in this formation. Not to mention that the little devil that came from Nan Zhan was only at the middle stage of the Gold Core Realm, even if he was Yuanying, he might not be able to break through the formation.
Because of this, the cultivators of the Northern Region of the Divine Prefecture became even more curious. Some of them specially came here to look for a son-in-law. Later, when they saw that the search for a son-in-law came to nothing, those who had originally planned to return home also stayed behind. There was no other reason than to see how the legendary little devil would break through the formation, or how he would slap his own face and obediently admit defeat to the Nimble Sect. This would also be a topic of conversation in the future.
"Hmph, our sect has already spread the word that we will absolutely not accept the little devil's apology. We will definitely use this wager to cut off his head. After all, he was the one who personally killed Elder Shi's son. How could Elder Shi not want to take revenge? The reason why we didn't mention it before was probably because of the Dragon God's reputation. Now that we have the opportunity, we naturally won't let him go. Originally, when we received this news, we, the cultivators of Nan Zhan, should have informed him beforehand and warned him to be careful. However, since that little devil cut off all ties with us, let's just let him die! "
In a secluded restaurant in Yuezhou City, more than ten cultivators of Nan Zhan sat cross-legged and chatted while drinking. The cultivation levels of this group of people varied, but most of them were at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Occasionally, there were two or three Golden Core cultivators, but they were all at the first or second level. Their cultivation levels were not considered high. Among them, there were four or five who came from the Nimble Sect. Even though they were not chosen to guard the formation, they still learned many secrets.
After hearing what a Nan Zhan disciple from the Nimble Sect said, another Nan Zhan disciple who joined the Yi Qi Sect sneered and said, "That's right. That little devil has a bad reputation. When he was still in Nan Zhan, he committed the act of killing his own master. He even made enemies with the HuangFu Clan. We let bygones be bygones and sought him out to discuss important matters. However, because he climbed up the high branch of the Canglan Sea, he did not place us in his eyes at all. He even encouraged Elder Shi to kill us. What kind of ruthless personality is this? When his head is chopped off, I want to go and take a look! "
For a moment, three or four people in the building spoke up one after another. They sneered and mocked the little devil.
Among them, one of them even turned to Ye Guyin and asked, "Senior Sister Ye, you said that the little devil gave you 3000 spiritual essences. Is this true? With his cold personality, how could he be so generous? Could he be plotting something? "
Ye Guyin, who was sitting silently in the corner, frowned even more when she heard this.
"Of course he's plotting something!"
Before Ye Guyin could reply, she suddenly heard a cold snort from outside the window. The tightly shut wooden window was blown open by a gust of chilly wind. The cultivators in the building turned their heads in shock and saw a woman in a bright red dress outside the window. She had a cold expression and a cold aura around her. She glanced at the crowd coldly and walked straight into the room from outside the window. Her aura made the expressions of the cultivators solemn.
"Senior … Senior Sister Li, when did you come back?"
After a long while, someone finally spoke up with a smile.
"Yes, Senior Sister Li, didn't you go to the demon land?"
Someone hurriedly stood up and greeted her in an unusually reserved manner, as if he did not even dare to breathe loudly.
However, Li Hongyi ignored them and continued indifferently, "In your eyes, what does he do without a scheme?"
She looked at the few cultivators who spoke up earlier with an undisguised disappointment in her eyes. She paused for a moment before saying hatefully, "If I had known that you guys were like this, I would not have gotten involved in this mess! Heh, Junior Brother Wang, I heard you say that if Fang Xing did not cut ties with you guys, you guys would have communicated with him and helped him. Then I would like to ask, in your opinion, if he did not reject you guys, and now that he has encountered this matter, how would you, a disciple of the Lingqiao Sect, help him? "
He did not expect Li Hongyi to question him the moment she appeared. Wang Yifa, who had sneered earlier, was already embarrassed. However, under Li Hongyi's cold gaze, he did not know how to answer. After pondering for a while, he said softly, "Although the Lingqiao Sect avoided the disciples of the Nan Zhan this time, we still obtained some information about the formation and the experts that the Lingqiao Sect invited. If that … that little demon was not so heartless, we would have to risk breaking the sect rules and pass this information to him!"
"That's right. In the Divine Continent, us cultivators of the Nan Zhan should stick together. This time, our sect elders actually wanted us to guard the formation, but we all refused. After all, that bastard is also from the Nan Zhan. We will not make things difficult for him!"
Another person spoke up. He was also a disciple of the Lingqiao Sect. His words were also impassioned.
However, Li Hongyi's expression became even uglier. He said coldly, "This is your so-called help? Heh heh, at the risk of being punished, at the risk of being scolded, and passing on a few words of information is considered a great help? But what do you want him to help? It's risking his life! You want him to represent you and risk his life to bear the enormous pressure brought by the Divine Continent's Zhu Xiu. Do you think that is a favor to him? This is ridiculous. Junior Brother Wang Yi Fawang, Junior Brother Li Muran, if the two of you are really men, on account of the fact that you are also Nan Zhan cultivators, I, Li Hongyi, can still look up to you if you take out a knife and help the Junior Brother Fang, who is from the Nan Zhan, to break through the Lingqiao Sect's formation. But do you dare to do so? "
These words were really merciless. The two people's faces turned red. They wanted to refute, but they did not dare to.
Li Hongyi sighed and slowly sat down beside Ye Guyin. He pressed his hand on the table and said after a long time, "I heard about this when I just returned to the Divine Continent. I thought about it carefully. Heh heh, I would like to ask you people who call yourselves little devils. In that kind of situation, who has a better way to protect your lives without being used against others?"
When the cultivators heard this, they were all stunned. It was as if Li Hongyi's words had hit a sore spot in their hearts.
"He … he would be so kind?"
"At that time, to him, it was just handing over the treasures that he stole from others. Why would he gamble with our lives?"
After a long time, someone spoke hesitantly, but his tone was no longer as forceful as before.
At this moment, suddenly, someone said hatefully, "I don't believe it. At least that slash of his was not fake. He really wanted to kill me!"
Everyone turned their heads to look and saw that it was the disciple of the Nimble Skill Sect, Wang Yifa. At this time, he had also broken off his relationship with Fang Xing in the First Heaven Palace and spat at him from afar. In the end, he had angered the little devil and almost killed him with a single slash of his saber. After being hit by the saber Qi, he was still continuously coughing up blood. It could be seen that his injuries were serious and his hatred towards Fang Xing was also the deepest.
"That slash was real!"
Li Hongyi said calmly, "If it were me, I would also kill one of them so that the Lingqiao Sect and the other forces of the Northern Region would give up on the idea of using hostages to threaten me. You are stupid and useless, but you have such a bad temper. Who is more suitable than you?"
"You …"
Wang Yifa's face turned red and his anger soared. However, it affected his internal injuries and he coughed up blood again.
"Senior Sister Li, we have already discussed this matter. Everyone … actually understands!"
At this moment, Ye Guyin finally spoke softly to Li Hongyi.
"Of course, I know that they understand. How many of those who came to the Divine Prefecture are stupid? It's not that they don't understand some things, it's just that they don't want to think about it. Hmph, I can't be bothered. This time, I came to look for you. There's something I need you to know! "
Li Hongyi ignored the people in the hall. She held Ye Guyin's hand and floated out of the window, leaving only Nan Zhan and Zhu Xiu looking at each other. No one spoke for a long time. Li Hongyi and Ye Guyin conversed softly in the air outside. No one knew what they were talking about, but Ye Guyin was so shocked that even her voice changed, "Is this true? How … How could this be? "
Her voice sounded like she was about to cry.
