Burn the bridge after crossing it
A battle to the death!
When the demons heard that, they were immediately alarmed. They struggled to believe that Northmoon Chu Xu would challenge Ning Qi to the death!
Because of the rules of Demon King Payne, personal grudges must be settled in the Life and Death Arena. This arena was located in the Southern District of Yan Mountain City. One had to pay a sum of Demonic Crystals to use the arena. As for how many Demonic Crystals one had to pay, it was calculated according to one's cultivation. The higher one's cultivation was, the more Demonic Crystals one would have to pay. After all, the maintenance of the formation on the Life and Death Arena also cost a lot.
Therefore, in order to save a lot of Demon Crystals, many members of the Demon Clan would settle their grudges after they left Yan Mountain City, no matter how great their hatred was.
Back then, the Bone Sea Tribe did not directly attack the Mountain and Sea Alliance because they had some misgivings.
"Northmoon Chuxu is an early human demon, yet he wants to challenge a half-step human demon. That seems a little like bullying the weak."
"How is that guy a half-step Human Demon? His battle prowess is no different from an early-stage Human Demon!"
"I wonder if he dares to agree …"
"Northmoon Chu Xu, that's enough."
Lurriel frowned slightly.
"Alright, I agree."
Ning Qi nodded lightly.
Rulier had intended to come forward and settle the matter, but he had not expected Ning Qi to agree readily. A trace of astonishment flashed through his eyes.
"You decide the time!"
When Northmoon Chu Xu saw Ning Qi agree to a battle to the death with him, a vicious light immediately flashed through his eyes.
"In fifteen days."
Ning Qi said lightly.
"It's a deal!"
Northmoon Chuxu said coldly.
Afterwards, he left with Northmoon Lengqiu. Before he left, everyone could clearly sense that his eyes were filled with irrepressible killing intent.
"This guy's battle strength is quite terrifying. If he breaks through to the Early-stage Demonic Human Realm in the future, won't we be no match for him?"
"Bei Xuan … Just what is the origin of this clan? Looks like I have to go back and look through the documents. To have such combat strength, his cultivation technique must be extraordinary. No wonder Yang Gou was not his opponent. Even if there were ten more Yang Gou, they would not be able to defeat this brat."
Yankedo and the other two looked at Ning Qi and thought to themselves.
"Brother Bei Xuan, why did you agree to a battle to the death with Northmoon Chu Xu? According to the rules, only when one party dies can the other party be allowed to leave the arena! "
Lurriel looked at Ning Qi and sighed.
"Even if I don't agree to it today, won't they come looking for me when I leave Yanshan city in the future?"
The corner of Ning Qi's mouth curled up slightly, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"That's true …"
Rulriel was taken aback before nodding. He glanced at the ruins that Northmoon and Chu Xu had just created and became rather curious. Right when he wanted to ask a few questions, he saw that Ning Qi had already travelled off into the distance with Ye.
"Master Lulliere, you have a good eye. If you take him as your disciple, he will have great achievements in the future."
After Ning Qi left, Yankedo and the other two complimented Lulliel.
"Who said I was going to take him as my disciple?"
Lurriel rolled his eyes at the three of them and walked toward the auction house.
The three of them looked at each other in confusion. Could it be that they had guessed wrong?
My strength is only slightly greater than Northmoon and Chuxu at most. That kid doesn't even fear him, so if I accept him as a disciple, it doesn't seem like I can control him …
Lurriel thought to himself.
…
In the centre of Yan mountain city.
The Northmoon clan.
A figure appeared before a stone room and said softly, "Young master, Northmoon and Chuxu have moved against that guy today."
"What was the result?"
"Northmoon and Chuxu don't seem to be his opponent. He's now issued a challenge to that guy to the death, and he's accepted it."
"The caretaker is a demonic being, so he's much weaker than us demons, but he's still an early Demonic Human after all, yet he's actually not that kid's opponent …"
"I understand. You can leave."
When the figure heard this, he left without a sound. The stone chamber became quiet once again. After a dozen breaths, a voice mumbling to himself could be heard.
"So he really isn't a half-step Demonic Human? My loss doesn't seem to be unjust … "
The voice sounded like a boulder had fallen to the ground. It was slightly relaxing.
… …
"The Northern Black Demon of the Alliance of Mountains and Seas who defeated young master Yanggou wants to fight the caretaker of the Northmoon clan, Northmoon and Chuxu!"
"It'll be in fifteen days!"
"Are you serious? Isn't Northmoon a half-step Demonic Human? Why would he accept Chuxu's challenge? The Northmoon clan is bullying a junior like this over Yanggou. That doesn't seem too glorious! "
"Haven't you heard?"
"Heard what?"
"The strength of the Northern Black Demons isn't limited to just half-step Demonic Human. You'll understand on that day!"
The news that Ning Qi wanted to fight Northmoon and Chuxu to the death spread through Yan Mountain city like a plague. In less than a day, basically all the demons and demonic beings had learnt about it. They all discussed it secretly.
The Alliance of Mountains and Seas.
Xiu Qi stood before Nalan Shanhai sternly and said softly, "If Northmoon offends the Northmoon clan, it'll have an extremely great impact on our Alliance of Mountains and Seas. Alliance leader, I suggest Northmoon leave the Alliance of Mountains and Seas."
"That's not a good idea, is it?"
Nalan Shanhai furrowed his brows slightly. He felt a sliver of displeasure towards Ning Qi. Although he had resolved a crisis for the Alliance of Mountains and Seas before, he had offended the Northmoon clan now. The Northmoon clan was one of the seven great clans of Yan Mountain city. Their patriarch, Northmoon Chongxu, possessed extremely terrifying strength. Among the seven late Demon Lords, he ranked in the top three at the very least. Only the other two could contend against him. Even the goat demon was probably weaker than him!
As long as the Alliance of Mountains and Seas wanted to survive in Yan Mountain city, they could not afford to offend a colossal organisation like the Northmoon clan. The Bone Sea tribe paled in comparison!
"Alliance leader, we need to make a decision as soon as possible. Once the battle to the death is over, the Northmoon clan will definitely hate us as well!"
Xiu Qi said softly.
"Then we'll do as you say. Pass on the news."
Nalan Shanhai nodded.
"I'll go …"
Xiu Qi was taken aback.
"What, you don't want to go?"
Nalan Shanhai glanced at Xiu Qi indifferently.
"Of course not. Leave this matter to me."
Xiu Qi squeezed out a smile and clasped his hands before turning around and leaving.
As soon as Xiu Qi entered the courtyard where the Moonbreak squad resided, he bumped into Duo Lu and the other two.
"Sir, is there something you need from sir Northmoon? Sir Northmoon seems to be in secluded cultivation. "
Duo Lu clasped his hands.
Xiu Qi glanced at Duo Lu indifferently, and a sliver of disdain flashed through the depths of his eyes. He glanced at Ning Qi's residence and said, "Pass on a message to your master. Tell him that the alliance leader is displeased with him offending the Northmoon clan, and that he has to leave the Alliance of Mountains and Seas within three days."
