Chapter 79 - 64: Killing Two People! _3
He had read many fantasy novels and naturally wanted to experience the feeling of taming a monster beast as a mount.
After all, the strong often had many impressive mounts.
For example, the gods and Buddhas in Journey to the West each had a powerful demon as their mount.
Originally, Wang Ping just wanted to try it out and see if drawing cakes for the monster beasts would work. He didn’t expect it to be effective, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
“Try it…” The Fire-patterned Demon Tiger’s face twitched.
It turned out that you were not sincere in wanting to tame me as a mount; it was just out of curiosity.
For a moment, the Fire-patterned Demon Tiger even began to doubt Wang Pings promise.
Well, it was only because the Fire-patterned Demon Tiger didn’t know the concept of drawing cakes. If it did, it might have been cursing and swearing by now.
Afterwards, the Chi Clan migrated to the cave where the Fire-patterned Demon Tiger lived.
As for Wang Ping, he left Chi Village and returned to the Sword Spirit Sect.
When Wang Ping returned to the Sword Spirit Sect, he felt that the atmosphere was very oppressive. Both the elders and disciples were extremely angry.
“Elder Wang, please come to the Sect Master Hall immediately.”
Seeing Wang Ping return, a Supreme Elder sent a message.
At this, Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he quickly headed for the Sect Master Hall.
At this moment, in the Sect Master Hall, all the Supreme Elders were gathered, their faces gloomy.
“Elder Wang, Sect Master Zhang has been killed. Someone saw that Double-tailed Snake Tiger entering the Black Wind Forest. We are discussing whether to mobilize the entire sect to attack the Black Wind Forest, find the Double-tailed Snake Tiger and the old man, and kill them. What is your opinion?”
After Wang Ping entered, the Supreme Elder asked with a serious face.
Although the person who died this time was not from their faction, Zhang Yuan was still the Sword Spirit Sect master and the face of the Sword Spirit Sect. They could not turn a blind eye to this matter.
Internal conflicts were one thing, but when external enemies appeared, they needed to present a united front.
That was why the Sword Spirit Sect had called back all the Supreme Elders to discuss countermeasures.
“l heard that it was an old man controlling the Double-tailed Snake Tiger who attacked the Li Family. So, have we found out the identity of that old man?”
Wang Ping asked with an unchanged expression.
This remark startled all the Supreme Elders present.
One of the Supreme Elders said solemnly, “That old man should be a former elder of the Chi family.”
“The Chi family…” Wang Ping pretended to ponder and said, “l heard that the Chi family and the Li Family were once the two major families of White Cloud
City. However, after the Li Family Ancestor broke through to the Spiritual Realm, he wiped out the Chi family. Could it be that the Chi family is seeking revenge now?”
“Indeed.’
One Supreme Elder nodded.
“If he wiped out the Li Family, we wouldn’t care. But, he killed the master of our Sword Spirit Sect, and that is something we cannot tolerate.”
The Second Supreme Elder said with a gloomy face,
“But, I heard that it was the sect master who made the first move, nearly killing the old man and preventing him from taking his revenge. Our Sword Spirit Sect’s stance is neutral. According to the sect rules, we are not allowed to interfere in other power’s disputes. The sect master has violated the sect rules.’
Wang Ping shook his head and said.
“Elder Wang, what do you mean? Are you speaking for the Chi family?”
The Second Supreme Elder scolded.
“I’m just telling the truth.”
Wang Ping said calmly.
“Elder Wang, are you saying that you don’t agree Mith the idea of mobilizing the entire sect to attack the Black Wind Forest?”
Supreme Elder’s eyes flickered as he asked.
“Leaving aside the question of right and wrong, even just mobilizing the entire sect to attack the Black Wind Forest is not a wise move. After all, there are many powerful monsters in the Black Wind Forest. If we attack the Double-tailed Snake Tiger, it might provoke the anger of higher-ranked monsters. At that time, the Sword Spirit Sect may suffer heavy casualties.
Moreover, the Sword Spirit Sect’s position in the Xia may become unstable. Not to mention, sending too many experts deep into the Black Wind Forest may trigger a Beast Tide, affecting millions of people.” Wang Ping looked around at everyone and spoke slowly.
“Wang Ping has a point.”
Supreme Elder nodded his head.
As for the Sword Spirit Sect, including the newly-joined Wang Ping, there were only twelve Spiritual Realm Experts.
With Zhang Yuan dead, there were only eleven left.
One of them, a 4th Tier Alchemist, wasn’t even in the sect most of the time and his current condition was unknown.
If they attacked the Black Wind Forest and lost a few more Spiritual Realm Experts, the sect would be greatly weakened.
Black Wind Forest was not a place where human experts could run wild.
As a monster forest that stretched across three countries, the deepest parts of the Black Wind Forest had more than one Monster Beast with a Great Perfection Spiritual Realm combat power.
In addition to other powerful 7th Tier monsters and 8-tier Demon Beasts, venturing deep into the Black Wind Forest was too dangerous.
Although with his Spiritual Realm Ninth Tier cultivation, he could use the
Green Spirit Sword to rival experts even in the Great Perfection Spiritual
Realm, and even kill them, this would only apply in one-on-one situations. If he provoked other terrifying beasts, it would be equally dangerous.
Not to mention that all the forces were now watching. If they were to deploy their entire force, even bringing along spiritual tools, some forces might harbor ill intentions.
By then, the Sword Spirit Sect would be in danger.
Of course, all of this was predicated on the Double-tailed Snake Tiger hiding deep within the Black Wind Forest.
If it was in a shallow area, they could still go. “Supreme Elder, do you mean we’ll just let it go?”
The Second Supreme Elder’s face was full of rage.
“If we just let it go after the Sect Master of Sword Spirit Sect is killed, how will the world view our Sword Spirit Sect? I’m afraid any random cat or dog will be able to step on our heads!”
