Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 170

Chapter 170 This Grudge—I’ve Taken Note of It!

“Heavenly Dao Sect, Su Bai!”

The moment this voice rang out, a storm suddenly swirled up behind Su Bai. Fierce winds howled, whipping his hair and robes violently.

But such a commotion was nothing worth mentioning!

Su Bai still stood firm, hands clasped behind his back, unshaken amid the raging storm.

His gaze fixed on the five Grand Venerable Old Ancestors, facing them alone with an imposing authority that dared to defy all five simultaneously.

At this moment, Su Bai was like a Peerless Immortal Sword about to be drawn, his eyes flashing with sharp light that looked down on everything and everyone!

If you want to be respected, then show your true strength!

“Southern Ridge…”

Several Grand Venerables were taken aback. They had been trying to figure out where exactly Southern Ridge was, and after much thought, only one place fit the description.

It was the Southern Barbarian Lands in Southern Xuan Prefecture—a godforsaken area that hadn’t even produced a single cultivator at the Divine Transformation Realm!

Their eyes, filled with ill intent, turned toward the Southern Heavenly Old Ancestor of Southern Xuan Prefecture.

When did Southern Xuan Prefecture quietly gain a second Grand Venerable?

What a sly old fox, operating in complete silence like this, huh?

The Southern Heavenly Old Ancestor himself was completely baffled. He knew nothing about the Southern Ridge matter.

As a Grand Venerable of the Soul Integration Realm, he was either in seclusion or on his way to it. Managing the sect was the responsibility of the Three Vice Sect Masters—it had nothing to do with him.

Unless the sect faced a life-or-death crisis, he would not intervene.

Besides, now that the Immortal Alliance dominated the Continent, no foolish powers dared offend Southern Heavenly Gate.

Usually, the Three Vice Sect Masters were enough to suppress all manner of demons and spirits.

Oh, by the way—he thought he had previously received word from one of the Vice Sect Masters saying something about a traitor appearing in Southern Ridge?

A mere traitor—was it really necessary to inform him of such a minor matter?

At the time, he hadn’t paid it much mind, letting them handle it on their own, as his focus was fixed on the Supreme Treasure left behind by the Peerless Heavenly Venerable.

But now, it seemed… something wasn’t right?

If the Southern Ridge truly produced a Grand Venerable, then at Southern Heavenly Gate, it seemed no one could keep him subdued, right?

No wonder there was an aura on him resembling that of his sect’s Vice Sect Master…

The atmosphere among the several Old Ancestors instantly turned delicate, each concealing their own schemes.

From their slight shifts, it was clear: the Southern Heavenly Old Ancestor was being isolated!

Others had only produced one Grand Venerable per Xuan Prefecture, and even the terrifying Heavenly Palace only sent one.

They had all agreed beforehand to fair competition, with no leaks.

What did Southern Xuan Prefecture mean, coming with two?

Who would believe that two Grand Venerables from the same region didn’t have some secret alliance?

Such confidential information being known by Su Bai confirmed the Old Ancestors’ silent suspicion that the Southern Heavenly Old Ancestor had betrayed them, hiding a card up his sleeve.

When the time came to strike, they would deal with this traitorous Old Fox first!

“What is the situation now at Southern Heavenly Gate?”

The Southern Heavenly Old Ancestor bitterly asked, forced to steel himself to speak up.

To maintain strict secrecy, he had cut off all outside contact and knew nothing of what had transpired at Southern Heavenly Gate during that time.

“I don’t know. Some foolish Kun Fish tried to kill me, so I stewed it and shared it with my disciples,” Su Bai replied casually, as if recounting the simplest of events.

“………”

“………”

The four Old Ancestors fell silent. The Kun Fish from Southern Heavenly Gate… wasn’t that… Venerable Heavenly Kun?

A single Venerable, boiled alive?

Good grief, how long had it been since anyone from the Human Race’s forces on the entire Continent had killed a Venerable?

“You killed a Vice Sect Master of Southern Heavenly Gate?” the Southern Heavenly Old Ancestor was stunned, his head buzzing loudly.

“Hmm, how else would I eat the meat if I didn’t kill him?” Su Bai said casually, as if recounting the simplest event.

“………….”

The Southern Heavenly Old Ancestor felt a stifling pain in his chest, nearly coughing up blood.

He really wanted to grab this stinky kid standing in front of him and beat him up!

But now was the time to compete for the Supreme Treasure. If he wasted energy now, he wouldn’t be able to compete against the others later!

He had to hold back!

Hold back, hold back!!

The Southern Heavenly Old Ancestor took several deep breaths before barely controlling his anger. “Fine, fine, I’ve noted this grudge!”

Su Bai shrugged and added, “Last night, a Little Black Loach led three Venerables in an ambush against me.”

Little Black Loach…

The Old Ancestors were stunned into silence. What kind of nonsense was this?

The Southern Heavenly Old Ancestor, furious to the point of bitter laughter, asked, “What did you do to Venerable Black Dragon?”

The Little Black Loach Su Bai mentioned was, of course, another Vice Sect Master of Southern Heavenly Gate—the Venerable Black Dragon!

“I boiled a little, roasted a little, steamed a little, braised a little. What, you want some too?” Su Bai said.

The Bliss Old Ancestor stretched out his skeletal frame and said grimly, “Can you share some with me? It’s been so long since I’ve eaten meat.”

“You all…”

The Southern Heavenly Old Ancestor’s face turned deathly pale, his teeth clenched in rage, but he couldn’t utter a single word.

His lungs felt like they were about to explode, and he desperately wanted to rush forward and tear Su Bai apart!

But in the end, he held himself back.

The Supreme Treasure was far more important!

“When I get my hands on the Supreme Treasure, I will surely kill you!”

He spat out the threat, coldly staring at Su Bai.

Seeing the Southern Heavenly Old Ancestor’s expression, Su Bai smiled and said, “Why is it that all the Venerables in your Southern Heavenly Gate are demons? Could it be that you’re a demon too?”

Su Bai’s words made the Southern Heavenly Old Ancestor’s face go green with fury.

“Old Ancestor, whether I’m human or demon is none of your business!”

He hissed through gritted teeth. If he weren’t worried about needing to be in peak condition for the upcoming battle over the Supreme Treasure, he would have attacked already.

“If you’re a demon, then I can boil, pan-fry, deep-fry, stir-fry, skewer, blanch, and roast your meat.”

“If you’re human, then you’ll just turn to ashes and dust.”

“After all, beast meat is edible, but human meat? We don’t eat that!”

Su Bai’s voice was soft but sounded like a curse ringing in the ears of the Old Ancestors. Because the Demon Race had already bowed in submission, it was true that some great demons had begun cultivating among the Human Race.

“………” Everyone was left speechless.
