My Master Knows It All-Chapter 1407 - 335_6

After receiving the voice transmission, Yu Long’s face revealed a peculiar expression. Then, he looked at the members of the three Demonic Sects and said, "Sect Leader Cao has spoken. He is currently busy and requires three days’ time. After three days, he will naturally face you in battle."

His senior sister Bi Yue had conveyed this clearly—they were busy. They—plural!

Two people had entered the Holy Land and stayed holed up inside without coming out. What could they possibly be busy with?

He truly couldn’t fathom it. As he spoke, he deliberately left out a word.

"Three days, is it? Very well." The members of the three Demonic Sects, upon hearing this, nodded one after the other. Three days—what could Cao Zhen possibly achieve in that amount of time?

Could he miraculously break through to the Golden Core Period Limit in just three days?

It seemed more likely that Cao Zhen was planning to spend these three days cultivating some divine skill or activating a secret technique.

But even with cultivation, it would be useless. What he was about to face would undoubtedly be an opponent who had already reached the Golden Core Period Limit.

In the blink of an eye, the three days passed.

Having refined a batch of best-quality pills and left them for the silver dragon, Cao Zhen, along with Immortal Bi Yue, flew out of the Holy Land and arrived at the outskirts of the Dragon Chant Sect.

The Dragon Chant Sect might have permitted the members of the three Demonic Sects to come inside and fight, but would those three sects dare to step inside?

Thus, the battle location had to be set outside the Dragon Chant Sect.

The Hundred Flowers Sect’s members also didn’t leave. Spending three days waiting was worth it if they could witness such a grand spectacle—why would they leave?

Upon learning that Cao Zhen was going to resolve grudges by battling the members of the three Demonic Sects, the disciples of the Dragon Chant Sect also gathered outside their sect gates to witness the showdown.

Even Zi Xianchen stepped out from his cultivation chamber, flying outward.

Cao Zhen swept his gaze over the members of the three Demonic Sects in front of him before finally fixating on the three leaders among them. He addressed them loudly, "You previously claimed that you wished to settle grievances by having me fight against all of your three sects’ members, and that once the battle concludes, regardless of the outcome, all grudges will be resolved—correct?"

"Indeed." As soon as they saw Cao Zhen appear, their faces momentarily flashed with a barely perceptible trace of excitement. The female cultivator who had spoken earlier now added, "Additionally, since this is a duel meant to resolve grudges, it naturally must lead to life and death. Until one side falls, the battle continues. Do you dare?"

They had been specifically instructed by their Sect Hierarch before coming: this battle must end in death. Their ultimate goal was to kill Cao Zhen, and under no circumstances were they allowed to admit defeat.

"Why would I be afraid?" Cao Zhen flew out abruptly, and behind him appeared a glowing phenomenon—a single abnormal Golden Pill. His expression turned resolute as he stared at everyone and said, "Among the three Demonic Sects, who will step forth first?"

Instantly, the surrounding crowd’s gaze fell on Cao Zhen, staring at the nine abnormal Golden Pills floating behind him.

"This aura... It’s approaching the Golden Core Period Limit! The earlier information suggested that Cao Zhen had only recovered to the pinnacle level of Ten Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection. Has he made another breakthrough now?"

"It seems Cao Zhen spent the past three days breaking through!"

"These abnormal Golden Pills radiate an incredibly strong aura!"

Among the Hundred Flowers Sect crowd were those who had witnessed Cao Zhen’s peak state in the ruined site. They couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.

"These Golden Pills of Cao Zhen’s—how do they seem even stronger than before?"

"Indeed, stronger than before! However, his Exotic Pill is missing. So, even though the Golden Pills feel much more formidable, Cao Zhen still hasn’t reached the Golden Core Period Limit."

"It appears the rumors were true." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"What rumors?"

"The rumors about Cao Zhen’s alchemy—you know, when Dragon Chant Sect’s Luo Zhen attempted to help Cao Zhen refine pills to recover from his injuries but ended up being tricked out of three treasures by Cao Zhen."

"I heard about that too. Apparently, Luo Zhen later offered to refine pills again for Cao Zhen if Cao Zhen returned the three treasures. Yet Cao Zhen refused, stating he would only pay with one treasure. Consequently, Luo Zhen never refined pills for him again."

"Is Cao Zhen mad? His injuries, if healed, could have allowed him to reach the Golden Core Period Limit once more! But for the sake of two treasures, he’d rather remain unrecovered? Surely this rumor is fake!"

"I doubt it’s fake. It was reportedly said by Luo Zhen himself."

"Two treasures—bear in mind, these aren’t just ordinary treasures but Divine Weapons. It’s likely that Cao Zhen and Luo Zhen were caught in a standoff, each trying to wear the other down for better bargaining power."

"That seems plausible. In the end, Cao Zhen will still need to heal his injuries; he’s just trying to minimize the cost."

"But... if Cao Zhen loses today and gets killed, wouldn’t that prove this negotiation strategy naive and foolish?"

Amid the chatter, a stocky man from the three Demonic Sects suddenly stepped forward and said, "This is unresolved enmity between us and the Hundred Peaks Sect. Although we are currently fighting at the gates of the Dragon Chant Sect, this matter has nothing to do with the Dragon Chant Sect. When the battle begins, we hope the members of the Dragon Chant Sect will not intervene."

As he spoke, his glance shifted toward Immortal Bi Yue. Clearly, he was referring to her specifically, though he seemed cautious enough not to mention her name directly.

For a moment, all eyes turned to Immortal Bi Yue.

Immortal Bi Yue merely stared coldly ahead without speaking. While she wanted to readily agree, she knew that doing so too quickly might raise suspicions—that Cao Zhen had something up his sleeve and would win decisively. If the three Demonic Sects grew wary and decided not to fight, that would complicate matters.

The three Demonic Sects had already stated, in front of so many witnesses, that the battle’s conclusion would erase all grievances. For the sake of their sect’s reputation, even if they sought trouble with the Hundred Peaks Sect in the future, they would do so covertly rather than openly. This would ultimately benefit the Hundred Peaks Sect. Cao Zhen was certainly determined to fight them, but her eagerness to agree could potentially undermine the entire plan.

Realizing this, Cao Zhen, as if sensing Immortal Bi Yue’s dilemma, spoke abruptly with an air of dominance and bravado: "Bi Yue, agree with them. I, Cao Zhen, have no need to hide behind a woman."

Upon hearing this, Bi Yue purposefully showed a helpless expression. She even sighed under Cao Zhen’s burning gaze, nodded slightly, and addressed the crowd, "Rest assured, I, Bi Yue, will not interfere in your battle."

The other side, hearing Immortal Bi Yue’s statement, still seemed uneasy and asked again, "What about the Dragon Chant Sect?"

"We of the Dragon Chant Sect will not interfere in this matter!" Zhang Zirong’s figure materialized from the void.
