Cultivation by Trial and Error-Chapter 944 - 935: Confrontation

Yi Tianxing’s gaze was as if he wanted to devour someone.

He stared intensely at Sun Daniu and spoke slowly, emphasizing each word, "Dare to touch my people, you are quite bold."

"In this sea area, it is the first time I’ve encountered someone as audacious as you."

"Before, there were indeed some who dared to trample on my dignity and disregard me. However, those individuals either died by my hand or were turned into human sticks and are now languishing in the dungeon of my mansion."

"Have you decided how you want to die?"

His words carried an endless chill, as Yi Tianxing steadily approached Sun Daniu.

Though his steps were slow and there was still some distance between him and Sun Daniu, his terrifying aura swept toward Sun Daniu massively and overwhelmingly.

Unfortunately, although Yi Tianxing’s strength was decent, it was just at the level of a Daluo Golden Immortal.

His oppressive aura might easily crush those below his realm, but in front of Sun Daniu, who was of the same rank, this aura was somewhat insufficient.

With a faint, harmless smile, Sun Daniu merely gave a light shake of his body, instantly dissipating the invisible pressure that had swept over him.

"Brother, everything follows a principle."

"That young lady, you clearly stomped her to death yourself, what does that have to do with Sun?"

"Don’t think that because I’m kind, you can randomly blame me? Let me tell you, not even honest people can be bullied easily!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Sun Daniu responded with a grin.

"Master!"

"Palace Master Sun!"

...

The few disciples of the Black Water Lineage guarding the mountain gate were initially surprised upon seeing Sun Daniu, then hurriedly came forward to pay their respects.

Originally, with Wan Zhongshan, a Daluo Golden Immortal, protecting the mountain gate’s vicinity, there was absolutely no need for other disciples to guard this position.

Ever since Wan Zhongshan left the territory of West Barbarian Mountain and returned to the southern Zhan State, guarding the important entrance to the mountain gate became necessary.

The leader among the few guards of this essential spot at the mountain gate happened to be one of Sun Daniu’s disciples.

It’s precisely because of this reason that Sun Daniu appeared at the mountain gate first, even though everyone else was heading there from the discussion hall.

The reason others called him Hall Master Sun is likewise simple, because on Black Water Immortal Mountain, his duty is the Hall Master of the Power Transmission Hall.

"Daluo Golden Immortal..." Yi Tianxing, who was originally prepared to directly take down Sun Daniu, paused in his steps.

Facing Sun Daniu not far away, his expression had already become much more serious.

After all, the chubby young man opposite could easily dissipate his aura, clearly making him a formidable opponent of the same level.

Though Yi Tianxing had confidence in his own strength, meeting an equally ranked opponent still demanded due caution.

Before coming to Black Water Immortal Mountain, Yi Tianxing had naturally researched relevant information about this faction, and he thought he had a good understanding.

But he only knew that the strongest person within this faction was merely a Golden Immortal, yet now, before he even properly entered the mountain gate, a Daluo casually emerged...

Such circumstances caught Yi Tianxing by surprise.

If he had known earlier that the opposing side possessed such strength, he would have acted more cautiously, avoiding being so reckless and flamboyant.

Staring at Sun Daniu, as he pondered how to handle the situation, at the entrance of the Immortal Mountain, numerous figures gradually walked out, appearing within Yi Tianxing’s line of sight.

Led by Chen Bao, the group made no effort to conceal their aura.

Although not everyone among the ten-plus members was a Daluo, having a few Daluo Golden Immortals present was already enough to impose considerable deterrence on Yi Tianxing.

"Taoist Friend, here on Black Water Immortal Mountain, our principle in dealings is to uphold peace."

"The death of your maidservant is somewhat related to my senior brother, but he bears little responsibility."

"It’s quite a pity for such a lovely girl to die at the foot of our Immortal Mountain."

"With humanitarianism in mind, we are willing to present a fine coffin as compensation, so that after death she may have a place of rest. What do you think?"

Without hesitation, Chen Bao stood in front of Sun Daniu.

With a smile that felt as refreshing as a spring breeze, he adopted a conciliatory stance and looked at Yi Tianxing with a playful smile.

Little Qing was one of the most beloved maids under him, and she died here. They merely offered compensation with a coffin?

Yi Tianxing wanted to swear in his heart, but considering the opposing side’s strength and then thinking of himself and his people...

While Yi Tianxing was somewhat arrogant, it did not mean he was foolish; he had understood the principle of not suffering immediate losses since he was little.

It didn’t matter whether he was satisfied with the compensation, as they had at least provided a way for him to gracefully concede.

"That maid of mine, arrogant from favor, committed many atrocious acts relying on my name."

"I reprimanded her several times; she’s incorrigible and only grew even more unrestrained and without boundaries."

"Her dying here is just the consequence she deserves." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"I appreciate the goodwill of my Taoist Friends, but a coffin is unnecessary; for such a vile woman, even in death, she does not deserve a burial ground."

Expressionless, Yi Tianxing nodded lightly.

Looking at Little Qing’s corpse that he had just stomped to death, he pointed, and a ghastly white flame landed on the corpse.

With the flame burning, in merely a blink, the entire corpse turned to ashes and vanished into nothingness.

"If I’m not mistaken, you all must be the leaders of Black Water Immortal Mountain."

"I am Yi Tianxing from Netherworld Sect; I’ve long heard of the Black Water Lineage’s reputation, and my visit today is to discuss some matters with you all."

Only Yi Tianxing knew what he was truly thinking, yet outwardly, he remained composed and serene, showing no emotional change.

Briefly glancing at Chen Bao and Sun Daniu, he continued, "You all must have heard of our Netherworld Sect’s prestigious name."

"Since the Demon Palace was defeated and retreated from this sea area, it has been occupied by our Netherworld Sect."

"No territory belonging to any force would allow the presence of other forces with different minds."

"Since the Black Water Lineage is established in this sea area, naturally it should submit to our Netherworld Sect as the master and act according to our orders, what do you think?"
