Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses-Chapter 621 - 588: Jiao Dragon Palace, Ten Thousand Demons Mountain (Merged - s)_2
At this critical moment, a beam of golden light flew in from afar, vast and imposing.
Trailing behind was a long golden tail, so striking that Hua Baiyu couldn’t help but stop his movements.
The golden light quickly halted before several top cultivators, revealing a particularly ’petite’ figure.
This was a golden turtle, only palm-sized.
Its two hind limbs, covered with scales and armor, stood upright in mid-air like a human, while its short front limbs were tucked behind its glittering turtle shell, holding its elliptical green head high with an expression of arrogance.
The little golden turtle looked somewhat comical, yet its appearance brought joy to the faces of the great demons of the wolf clan.
But on Hua Baiyu’s starry-browed, bright-eyed face, for the first time, there emerged a hint of gravity.
"Lord Gui," the great demons called out respectfully, despite being suppressed.
"You’re... the turtle demon from the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace?" Hua Baiyu frowned.
"You, the strength of Taiyi Sect, have crossed the boundary," the golden turtle demon said blandly, with its two front limbs behind its back, holding its head high.
"Crossed the boundary?" Hua Baiyu sneered, "Are you unclear about who crossed the boundary first?"
"I have inquired about the situation, it’s just a matter between juniors, why do you need to meddle?" said the golden turtle demon.
"For no reason, they killed my sect’s Taoist here for trial, still my disciple.
Could it be that I can only look on without doing anything?" Hua Baiyu said coldly, "Stop with the nonsense, if you have grievances with me, settle them under your hands."
Although Hua Baiyu was somewhat apprehensive about the golden turtle demon, it was merely apprehension.
He had complete confidence in himself, he could certainly defeat the demon before him, albeit taking more effort than dealing with the wolf demon.
"Whatever compensation you seek, we can sit down and discuss it." Seeing Hua Baiyu’s tough attitude and apparent disregard for the threat of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, and intensifying his means against the wolf demons, rendering them more and more desperate.
The turtle demon’s tone softened considerably.
"Oh? I just want the murderer to pay back for my disciple.
Of course, if three great demons can be used for blood sacrifice, it’s not impossible either." Hua Baiyu’s eyes revealed a full-fledged murderous intent.
He sent out several silver talismans, transforming into several gigantic silver swords, striking the great demons so they were covered in blood.
One great demon was nearly split in half along the waist, even its white bones were clearly visible, and blood flowed down like a waterfall.
"Stop!" Seeing the wolf demon’s life hanging by a thread, the palm-sized turtle demon could no longer stand by.
It raised one front limb, and a golden claw instantly detached from its body, transforming into dazzling golden light and urgently flying forward.
Engaging in fierce clashes with the silver giant sword, creating glaring white flames and blue electric sparks in the air.
Its tactics were indeed formidable, capable of blocking Hua Baiyu’s powerful attacks, greatly reducing the pressure on the wolf demons, sparing their lives.
"Does the Dragon Palace really want to intervene and oppose my Taiyi Sect?" Hua Baiyu emitted several ancient and hazardous talismans.
His aura was soaring high, and he was looking unkindly at the golden turtle demon, poised for a potentially earth-shattering strike.
"Master Hua, there’s something I forgot to mention.
A while back, our Dragon Palace recommended Cyan Wolf Ridge to join Wan Yao Mountain; judging by the time, the result may well have come out by now.
You can overlook them, but are you also disregarding Wan Yao Mountain?" the golden turtle demon said blandly, "The Alliance of Immortals and Wan Yao Mountain have been peacefully coexisting for thousands of years.
Should conflict arise again, not even your Taiyi Sect could bear such huge responsibility, right?"
"Don’t mention their unjoined status with Wan Yao Mountain. Even if they join, can they kill our sect’s disciples without reason?" Despite Hua Baiyu’s sneer, his actions slowed down.
Seemingly, the name ’Wan Yao Mountain’ indeed made him wary.
Seeing this, the turtle demon eased at heart, continuing: "Master Hua, I understand your grief, but the dead cannot resurrect.
Why not let Cyan Wolf Ridge compensate well to make up for your sect’s loss, how about it?"
"Compensation? Do you know how many resources it takes to cultivate a Taoist?" Hua Baiyu said, "Our sect’s Taoist has a foundation far superior within the same realm.
Particularly my disciple, with a six to seven percent chance of advancing to Golden Core, equating to a future Golden Core being snuffed out!"
Upon hearing this, the turtle demon and several wolf demons exchanged glances.
Although they weren’t humans, they understood the difficulty of advancing to Golden Core.
Even among those who build a three or four-layer spirit platform, even having a ten percent chance would be the limit.
Let alone Fu Weiyi, whose cultivation was just at the threshold of Foundation Perfection, quite a distance from the spirit platform realm.
Of course, they knew this was Hua Baiyu’s tactic for leverage, a pretense to seek benefits, thus they didn’t refute much.
"Master Hua, whatever compensation you want, just say," a great demon from the Iron Back Grey Wolf clan squeezed out a slight flattery-like smile.
"Compensation... there must be Suspension Stones, along with supreme Spirit Stones, Taiyi Geng Gold, great demon’s blood essence..."
With each word Hua Baiyu uttered, the great demons present felt their brows twitch, feeling their heart bleeding.
Anything Hua Baiyu mentioned was extremely precious in the cultivation realm.
However, for a Top Golden Core to value it, it must be no less than extraordinary.
Yet, this wasn’t what made the great demons feel difficult.
Because Hua Baiyu, besides demanding treasures for compensation, had one biggest prerequisite – handing over Chi Leyun.
If Chi Leyun wasn’t handed over, everything would be void.
The great demons were torn; although compensation was expensive, gathering or borrowing it was possible.
But handing over clan members would inflict a devastating blow to the wolf clan’s faith and cohesiveness.
While the wolf clan’s great demons were troubled, the clan leader hastened to report that Chi Leyun’s blood essence life plate had already shattered.
Upon hearing this news, the great demons felt relieved.
The great demon of the Howling Moon Sky Wolf clan told Hua Baiyu, "Master Hua, our clan member Chi Leyun has committed suicide out of guilt."
"Are you joking with me?" Hearing this, Hua Baiyu’s face suddenly darkened.
"Master Hua, if you don’t believe it, you can calculate it yourself."
Hua Baiyu immediately started using his fingers to divine; he wasn’t specialized in celestial arts, unable to divine Chi Leyun’s exact location.
But whether a demon or human is dead or alive carries a significant karma, hard to conceal, and this he could easily calculate.
"Really dead? The body seems to have fallen into the last appearing great river." Hua Baiyu murmured, realizing the demons hadn’t lied.
Whether the wolf clan secretly killed him or he truly committed suicide out of guilt, since he’s dead, there’s no need to demand the body.
Considering this, Hua Baiyu said coldly, "In that case, I’ll give the Dragon Palace face.
But none of the compensation you owe can be missing!"
"What I mentioned was just a rough idea. In a few days, someone from our sect will come specifically to discuss compensation matters with you." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Upon hearing this, all the wolf tribe breathed a sigh of relief, knowing this calamity had passed.
But the human race watching from afar was lamenting, feeling unsatisfied.
They had hoped to see Cyan Wolf Ridge overwhelmed by human cultivators, if not blood flowing like rivers, now it seemed impossible.
Nonetheless, the numerous cultivators from the Corpse-Driving Sect were quite satisfied.
Because Cyan Wolf Ridge’s strongest great demons were severely injured, they should have no energy to trouble their sect for the time being.
Unfortunately, their joy was premature.
Taiyi Sect’s Golden Core Master Hua Baiyu, after leaving Cyan Wolf Ridge, transformed once more into a brilliant cyan light, swiftly flying towards the east.
His aura was wild, and unrestrained, heading precisely towards the direction of the Corpse-Driving Sect!
’What’s this great villain planning to do at Corpse-Driving Sect?’
The cultivators of the Corpse-Driving Sect all felt an ominous sensation rising within.
