Chapter 914: White Panning is something I have to pay a price for (4)
I remember now, the National Preceptor had spoken to this kid before.
“Yes, yes, it’s him. He probably relies on the National Preceptor’s sympathy to dare to ignore those Demon Lords.”
Now this is interesting. I want to see if those Demon Lords dare to defy the National Preceptor. These scum bullies the weak and even forcibly occupied my mother’s remains.
If you don’t have enough filial piety, don’t find so many excuses. If you were a bit tougher, with the National Preceptor backing you, those Demon Lords might not dare to snatch them.
Do you think I’m an idiot? Can the National Preceptor protect me for a while, but not for a lifetime? If I did that, I would probably be on the run for the rest of my life. Don’t believe me, just wait and see. If this kid dares to compete, his death date will be when he leaves Xiannv Star.
This depends on whether those Demon Lords dare to send people again.
They definitely will. If they don’t snatch, won’t they be laughed at later?
The surrounding evil spirits gradually realized that a good show was about to begin, so they all widened their eyes and looked forward to it.
“Martial Brother Wu, what’s going on with that one? Is it another bumpkin who’s never seen the world?”
Fei Weng pointed at Xiaojia in the arena and mocked Wu Zheng.
Wu Zheng’s teeth were grinding, he didn’t expect things to go wrong as soon as it was his turn, he was simply out of luck.
A young kid who still smells of milk, of course, has never seen anything.
Wu Zheng forced down his anger and explained.
“Martial Brother is quite good at making excuses for him. If one didn’t know better, one would think you were relatives.”
Fei Weng said sarcastically.
Wu Zheng completely lost his temper and ordered Hou Biao next to him, “Go, throw that blind brat out!”
“This…”
Hou Biao hesitated this time.
“What? Why aren’t you going?”
Wu Zheng scolded him angrily.
“My Lord, that kid spoke to the National Preceptor of Queen of the Underworld Star before. Do you remember?”
Hou Biao reminded him cautiously.
“I’m not suffering from amnesia, of course I saw it. They just chatted casually, didn’t they? There’s no friendship.”
Wu Zheng frowned.
“But that National Preceptor of Queen of the Underworld Star clearly has sympathy for this kid. If we forcibly occupy his mother’s remains, and that woman gets serious, it might be difficult to handle.”
Hou Biao said in a serious tone.
Hearing this, Wu Zheng’s mind cleared up a bit, and he began to think of a countermeasure.
“What? Martial Brother Wu is scared? It’s obvious to everyone that the arena is occupied by us four. That kid dares to ignore Martial Brother just because of that National Preceptor of Queen of the Underworld Star’s sympathy. If you give up now, how will you establish yourself in the Immortal Realm in the future?”
Fei Weng added fuel to the fire.
“Of course, if Martial Brother Wu is afraid, you can protect yourself. After all, that National Preceptor is at Earth Demon level strength. You really can’t afford to offend her, we understand that.”
Gu Tao, however, played the good cop insincerely.
Wu Zheng’s mouth twitched with anger, but he also understood that these two guys clearly had ill intentions, so he forcefully suppressed his anger again. After thinking for a moment, he came up with an idea.
Wu Zheng stood up, called Hou Biao to his side, tore a soundproofing talisman, and then said, “Take your men into the arena, and tell that kid to hand over his mother’s corpse, otherwise, threaten to kill him.”
“What if he relies on the National Preceptor’s protection and refuses?”
Hou Biao asked with some difficulty.
“Then tell him that we are willing to exchange it for a Earth Demon level bone necklace,”
Wu Zheng added, taking out a bone necklace from his embrace. The Yin energy contained in it was strong, far beyond that of a mere Zombie’s remains. Ordinary evil spirits would definitely benefit greatly from wearing it.
“Are we really giving it to him?”
Hou Biao took the necklace, feeling very pained, thinking that it would be better to give it to me than to that kid.
“Of course we’re giving it to him, otherwise how could he believe us?”
Wu Zheng said helplessly.
“Ah? If I give it to him like this, the Ghost Tribe around will definitely see it. This might damage your prestige. If that’s the case, we might as well give up on that corpse.”
Hou Biao asked, not understanding.
Are you an idiot? What can temporary gains and losses represent? We’ll kill him publicly later and take it back. He’s just an ant. Once he leaves Xiannv Star, he’ll be at our mercy.
”
Wu Zheng sneered.
“Demon Lord is wise!”
Hou Biao was immediately impressed and bowed down in admiration.
“Hurry up and go, or that kid will take the corpse away.”
Wu Zheng ordered impatiently.
“Yes!”
Hou Biao took the order and quickly led the other thousand men towards the arena.
“The show is about to begin.”
The surrounding evil spirits immediately held their breath, waiting to watch the good show.
“Wait!”
Just then, Qi Huang spoke. She pointed at Hou Biao with her slender finger and said, “Didn’t you guys already claim it before? Why are you mixing in again? Are you taking my words as wind in your ears?”
“I wouldn’t dare! I wouldn’t dare!”
Hou Biao clasped his fists repeatedly and then pretended to be respectful, “The National Preceptor said that a Ghost Tribe can only claim one relative’s remains, so how could I dare to break it? It’s just that no one has specified that a Ghost Tribe can only have one relative. I see a corpse here that looks like my cousin’s aunt’s niece’s godmother, so I plan to take a closer look. If it really is her, I’ll have to ask someone to claim it for me.”
“Damn, is this even considered a relative?”
“Yes, if this can be claimed, I’ll immediately consider all the corpses in the arena as my godmothers and kowtow on the spot! Does he really think the National Preceptor is a fool?”
“That’s not necessarily true. What if the National Preceptor wants to do Martial Demon Lord a favor?”
“Exactly. This is all about human relationships. Anyway, she’s already been taken advantage of so many times, it’s not worth offending Martial Demon Lord for this one.”
…
The evil spirits began to make their own conjectures.
“Is that so? Then please proceed.”
Qi Huang indeed seemed very accommodating, and it looked like she really wanted to do Wu Zheng a favor.
“Thank you, National Preceptor, for opening the door for us.”
Hou Biao clasped his fists in thanks hypocritically, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Next, Hou Biao personally walked up to Xiaojia, pointed at the corpse, and said, “Yes, this is indeed my cousin’s aunt’s niece’s godmother.”
Xiaojia was stunned for a moment, then excitedly argued, “You’re talking nonsense, this is clearly my mother!”
Hou Biao didn’t want to escalate things, so he leaned forward and warned him in a low voice, “Kid, do you know who I am? I’m with the Martial Demon Lord. If you mess with us, your death date will be the day you leave Xiannv Star.”
Qi Huang’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. She didn’t expect the other party to threaten someone so openly in front of everyone. This was clearly disrespecting her.
“I don’t care who you are, if anyone dares to touch my mother, I’ll fight them to the death.”
Xiaojia remained unmoved.
“Are you looking for death?”
Hou Biao was so angry that his whole body trembled. He didn’t expect such a scrawny beggar with missing limbs to dare to contend with him.
“Get lost!”
Xiaojia did not give him any face and cursed.
This kid dares to fight for it with the Martial Demon Lord’s subordinate. Doesn’t he want to live anymore?
Yes, he’s not from Queen of the Underworld Star after all. Doesn’t he realize the consequences of offending the Martial Demon Lord in the Immortal Realm?
He doesn’t care. What does a brat like this know? He’s dead anyway.
The evil spirits all issued a death sentence for Xiaojia.
Haha, Cat Owner, do I need to distinguish? I’ve been hungry for a long time.
Yaoyao, on the side, licked her red lips, eager to try.
Hou Biao didn’t want to escalate things either. Since coercion didn’t work, he resorted to persuasion. He took out the bone necklace and said, “This necklace is made from the bones of a Earth Demon level Ghost Tribe, and the Yin energy contained in it is several times more than your mother’s remains. How about we exchange them?”
Qi Huang was about to intervene, but seeing this scene, she hesitated again. After all, she couldn’t make decisions for others. Of course, she also wanted to see what Xiaojia’s character was like.
My God! What is the Martial Demon Lord thinking? To exchange a Earth Demon level ghost bone necklace for a mere Zombie’s remains? Isn’t this a losing deal?
“Who knows? Maybe he’s doing it for face. If he takes all the corpses and only gives up on that one, he’ll definitely be called fearful of the National Preceptor.”
“Impossible. Hou Biao took out the necklace publicly, which is a gesture of submission that everyone can see. This will be of no use in saving face.”
“Anyway, no matter what, if I were that kid, I would definitely agree on the spot. With the amplification of that necklace, my strength will surely advance by leaps and bounds in the future.”
“Heh, you’re too naive. You might have the life to get it but not the life to enjoy it.”
“What do you mean?”
“What do I mean? Figure it out yourself. I don’t have time to deal with idiots.”
The surrounding evil spirits erupted into noisy discussions.
“No!”
Unexpectedly, Xiaojia remained unmoved and refused outright again.
“You truly don’t know what’s good for you!”
Hou Biao was almost angered to death. His zombie fangs were exposed, and he wished he could bite Xiaojia to death on the spot.
Wu Zheng, outside the arena, was also trembling with anger. Ever since he became a Demon Lord, no one had ever dared to disregard him like this.
Xiaojia shouldered his mother’s remains and was about to walk out of the arena, but Hou Biao grabbed him, and the two began to struggle.
Xiaojia was small and weak, plus he was missing an arm, so he was quickly pulled to the ground. However, he still tightly hugged his mother’s remains with tears in his eyes, unwilling to let go, and did not ask Qi Huang for help again.
“Stop!”
Qi Huang shouted loudly. She said, “I said before that anyone who falsely claims the remains will pay a price. Since you are arguing, you cannot take the remains away easily. They must be investigated clearly.”
Xiaojia was stunned for a moment, and then a look of joy appeared on his face because he had a clear conscience.
Hou Biao, on the other hand, stared with his eyes wide open in shock. He didn’t understand why Qi Huang had suddenly become serious.
