Chapter 160: Chapter 97: Immortal Alliance!
"The resources distributed from the Buddhist Sect to the Arhat Temple were already limited, and now we’ve lost a Secret Realm, making life increasingly difficult. Even the monastery disciples find it hard to endure the Body Tempering Realm."
The protagonist suddenly recalled that West Mountain Temple had also lost a Secret Realm previously.
He hurriedly asked, "Master, we at West Mountain Temple also had a Secret Realm before. Inside that Secret Realm, there was a rare beast called the Mingdi Bird. The Abbot and elders of our temple planned to wait for the Mingdi Bird to hatch and then exchange it for resources at the Buddhist Sect. But just as it was about to hatch, the Secret Realm was lost too..."
The old monk sighed and confirmed, "If nothing went wrong, the Secret Realm of West Mountain Temple should also be in Zhao Yi’s hands!"
The protagonist’s fist instantly hardened.
The abbot and elders of West Mountain Temple had originally planned to use the Mingdi Bird to exchange for a Buddhist Supreme Treasure to aid his cultivation.
Waiting for that Buddhist Supreme Treasure, the protagonist’s cultivation had stagnated for a long time.
He watched as the rare Mingdi Bird was about to hatch.
Then, the Secret Realm was lost!
At that time, the protagonist went crazy looking for the Secret Realm.
Unexpectedly, it was picked up by Zhao Yi!
"Damn it!"
The protagonist gnashed his teeth.
He never expected Zhao Yi to start messing with him so early!
The old monk didn’t notice the protagonist’s abnormality.
He analyzed, "Go to the Cultivation Conference first!"
"Prince Zhi said that Crown Prince Zhao Yi will also attend the Cultivation Conference. The Anti-Xia Alliance won’t miss this opportunity to target the Zhao family."
"If we can save the Crown Prince, we might be able to atone for the crime."
It was unclear whether it was a pretense or genuinely unnoticed.
The old monk seemed to overlook the special relationship between the protagonist and Prince Zhi.
Or rather, he knew but deliberately didn’t reveal it to the protagonist.
Because as long as the protagonist didn’t admit he was a member of the Zhao family, he would still be a disciple of the Buddhist Sect, and rescuing the Sect would be his responsibility.
Once the protagonist acknowledged his Zhao family identity, let alone rescuing the Sect, the old monk would be grateful if he didn’t hit them when they were down.
The protagonist hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.
Emotionally, he didn’t want to save Zhao Yi.
After all, ever since he interacted with Zhao Yi, that guy hadn’t done a decent thing!
But rationality warned the protagonist that Zhao Yi must not be harmed.
The protagonist also saw Prince Zhi’s reaction.
That was a deep-seated contempt for the Cultivation Realm sects.
If Zhao Yi were indeed harmed at the Cultivation Conference.
The protagonist had no doubt that the Zhao family would bury all sects of the Cultivation Realm, including the Buddhist Sect, with Zhao Yi!
"Why is he running around when he has no cultivation?" The protagonist was very agitated.
The protagonist had inquired about Zhao Yi and knew that Zhao Yi was a cultivation failure, not having even broken through the Body Tempering Realm.
It’s said that Su Qianqian disliked Zhao Yi because his aptitude was so dull.
In the protagonist’s view, if Zhao Yi’s cultivation was poor, he should just stay in the Crown Prince’s Mansion instead of causing trouble by running around.
Especially when the protagonist thought about how Zhao Yi had previously caused him all sorts of trouble, and now he had to protect Zhao Yi, it made him feel extremely oppressed and furious.
But the old monk was indifferent.
If Zhao Yi didn’t come out, how would he face danger?
If Zhao Yi didn’t encounter danger, how would they make meritorious contributions?
The Buddhist Sect must be saved!
"Cough, cough!"
The old monk lightly coughed and was just about to speak when he suddenly heard a woman’s cry for help coming from the nearby woods.
"Help... help..."
The woman’s voice was very weak, as if she had been seriously injured.
Meanwhile, the protagonist smelled a faint bloody scent in the air.
The scent of blood carried a strange sweetness, and as soon as the protagonist smelled it, he immediately felt dizzy, his vision darkened, and a wave of nausea rose in his stomach.
"This is not good, it’s poisonous!"
The protagonist’s expression changed, and he quickly swallowed a Detoxification Pill, preparing to rush over and rescue.
The old monk hurriedly stopped him.
"Don’t enter the woods easily!"
"Where would a woman come from in this wilderness?"
"Be careful of deception!"
In the woods, the woman’s voice grew weaker and was gradually becoming inaudible.
The protagonist felt the scent of blood in the air growing stronger and, gritting his teeth, thought, "Forget it, let’s save the person first!"
With that, he ignored the old monk’s warning and rushed directly into the dense forest.
At the same time.
About a dozen miles away from the male protagonist.
Zhao Yi sat on a soft couch, looking at the mess in front of him, and couldn’t help but click his tongue.
The Tier Eight Ascension Realm beast was truly fierce!
The Taotie, Black Stripe, Yellow-haired Monkey, and Bai Cang, the ancient raptor, joined forces, almost at the cost of mutual destruction, to drive away the scarlet snake that had occupied the Seven-Star Begonia.
The scarlet snake was severely injured, its snake belly torn open by Bai Cang’s claws, with its innards spilled all over the ground.
The exotic beasts on Zhao Yi’s side didn’t fare much better.
The Taotie’s entire body was crushed by the scarlet snake, lying limp on the ground like a puddle of mud.
Black Stripe had its two hind legs broken by the snake’s tail and could only crawl.
Bai Cang’s wings were bitten by the scarlet snake, not only poisoned but leaving a large patch of feathers missing, making it unable to fly.
The little Yellow-haired Monkey had hidden far away from the start and was the least injured.
Beside Zhao Yi’s couch, on the table, was a peculiar flower that resembled a lingzhi mushroom but with seven colors.
Seven-Star Begonia!
In the later Chapters of the original novel, the protagonist’s rebellion repeatedly failed in attacks, and finally, the protagonist called upon the little poison being, using this flower to instantly poison the Great Xia’s most elite army and break through Shengjing City’s strongest city gate.
The Great Xia Dynasty thus declined, leading to its eventual downfall.
Su Qianqian ascended the throne as emperor, naming the country "Jing," becoming the first female emperor in history.
The protagonist ascended to the peak of the Cultivation Realm, becoming the Lord of the Immortal Alliance.
Then, Zhao Yi died amidst the chaotic army that was slaughtering the remaining forces of the Great Xia in the Jing Kingdom.
Zhao Yi hadn’t thought about it in detail before, but now upon reflection, there were many suspicious points in this part of the plot.
Firstly, when Zhao Yi died in the chaos, Su Qianqian and Xu Yue’Er led the protagonist’s entire harem group to the scene.
Their goal was clear, which was to kill Zhao Yi at all costs!
Zhao Yi originally thought it was Su Qianqian’s way of showing loyalty to the protagonist, but now it seems that wasn’t the case.
If Su Qianqian wanted to show loyalty to the protagonist, she should have killed Zhao Yi herself. There was no need to bring the protagonist’s entire harem group along.
The protagonist’s harem group did not immediately kill Zhao Yi either; instead, they allowed Zhao Yi to be exhausted in the chaotic army, eventually being trampled to death.
Zhao Yi recalled the scenes that unfolded at that time and suddenly realized it seemed like Su Qianqian’s group was conducting some sort of ritual.
Zhao Yi was the unfortunate sacrificial offering!
Secondly, when the little poison being breached Shengjing City, while the protagonist went on a killing spree in the Great Xia Imperial Palace, the Golden Hall never appeared.
Zhao Yi had already seen the culmination of the Zhao family’s seven-hundred-year foundation.
If the Golden Hall had appeared, even if the protagonist had broken through the Tier Ten Void Realm, it would not have been easy to take the palace.
After all, there were tens of thousands of Tier Nine Saint King Realm cultivators.
Even if they couldn’t defeat the protagonist, they could exhaust him to death!
But until the palace fell, the Golden Hall never showed up.
Lastly, the protagonist becoming the Lord of the Immortal Alliance was the most bizarre event.
The protagonist was a descendant of the Zhao family, with their bloodline flowing through him.
The Immortal Alliance was born to oppose the Great Xia and the Zhao family.
For the protagonist to become the Lord of the Immortal Alliance was like a weasel guarding a hen house.
If the people of the Immortal Alliance had any sense, they would never make such a senseless decision!
Yet, such an absurd situation occurred.
Zhao Yi’s mind nearly shriveled!
"These damn romance stories, they truly have no logic at all!"
Zhao Yi glanced at the Seven-Star Begonia but ultimately did not reach out to touch it.
"Put it away, this thing is yours now!"
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Yi decided to give it to the little poison being.
Apart from its peculiar colors, Zhao Yi did not discover any other peculiarities in the Seven-Star Begonia.
Keeping it in Zhao Yi’s hands would be a waste; only in the hands of the little poison being could it be used to its fullest potential.
As long as the little poison being’s friend was in Zhao Yi’s hands, he wasn’t afraid of betrayal!
The little poison being obediently agreed and carefully placed the Seven-Star Begonia into his pouch.
At this moment, Linglong and Huang Ying returned after scouting the situation.
Huang Ying looked at the battlefield littered with wreckage, feeling lingering fear as she said, "Master, that scarlet snake escaped, heading towards Luoyun Peak!"
On Linglong’s shoulder stood a Mingdi Bird, chirping and chatting away.
After a while, Linglong lifted her head, her expression solemn as she said:
"Your Highness, in the past two days, there have been at least a dozen attacks by mysterious individuals on the Heaven-Facing Sect’s disciples heading to the Cultivation Conference."
"The Heaven-Facing Sect’s people managed to capture one alive, and they claimed they were from the ’Immortal Alliance’!"
