Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 599: Drawing Enmity

At the Creation Ancient Domain’s exit, the two opposing sides faced each other, prepared for confrontation.

“Chieftain Jiang, let me advise you—surrendering now is the wisest move. Your Phoenix Tribe has gone too far,” the Jiuying Tribe Chieftain threatened icily, his gaze resembling a venomous viper. “Not only did your Phoenix Tribe send three people in this time, but two of them also received rewards on the third level, and one person still hasn’t emerged!” 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The demon elders present had all entered the Creation Ancient Domain Before and knew it was divided into three levels. Only by passing the first level could one obtain the most basic reward.

The Demon Alliance prodigies hadn’t even passed the first level and were eliminated.

Ao Yue and the others were defeated at the second level, receiving only the most basic reward.

Meng Jingzhou, Jiang Shishi, and Su Lian’er received the rewards from the third level.

If that was all, it would have been fine. Every generation had demon prodigies who obtained rewards on the third level.

The problem was that someone hadn’t left the secret domain! This was an unprecedented situation!

The Creation Ancient Domain was mysterious and profound. The third-level rewards were bountiful enough to make even Fusion cultivators’ eyes go green with envy. If someone stayed longer in the secret domain, what kind of rewards would they acquire?!

The Jiuying Tribe was suspected of being the financial backer of the Diabolic Sound Heavenly Maiden. The Jiuying Tribe’s young lord had also sabotaged the Demon Alliance prodigies in the ancient domain. Therefore, the Jiuying Tribe was resented by various major demon tribes, and they urgently needed to divert the other demons’ attention.

And the Phoenix Tribe was the perfect target!

To this end, the Jiuying Tribe even summoned their chieftain to exert pressure.

“If your Phoenix Tribe is willing to pledge allegiance to the Demon Kingdom, we can let bygones be bygones and forget this matter!” The Jiuying Tribe Chieftain’s gaze was gloomy, revealing the true purpose of this trip.

The Phoenix Tribe was already within the scope of tribes the Demon Alliance intended to suppress and rope in. Unfortunately, the Phoenix Tribe’s foundation ran too deep, so the ancient Dijiang didn’t dare to act rashly.

This is the perfect opportunity to rely on the Demon Alliance to exert pressure on the Phoenix Tribe and rope them in!

This would be a great meritorious achievement!

“Let bygones be bygones? What an arrogant tone!” The Phoenix Tribe Chieftain sneered several times. The Jiuying Tribe’s intentions are glaringly obvious.

The Phoenix Tribe Chieftain was called Jiang Xi, a graceful and beautiful woman draped in phoenix robes. She had a noble and extraordinary demeanor, bearing some resemblance to Jiang Shishi.

Phoenixes were a matriarchal race, with female powerhouses being the majority. By tradition, the chieftain was always a woman.

“Your tribe’s geniuses’ skills were inferior, yet you blame my Phoenix Tribe?”

Without Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou’s assistance in the first trial and the inspiration from their actions, how could Jiang Shishi have passed the second level and obtained the Phoenix Visualization Drawing?

This was a supreme treasure left by the ancient ancestor. Jiang Shishi was already exceptionally talented. With the aid of this visualization treasure, her reaching the Transcendent Tribulation Stage was set in stone.

For this reason alone, their Phoenix Tribe was determined to protect Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou!

The original conflict was the Jiuying Tribe elder uniting with the Demon Alliance to exert pressure on the Phoenix Tribe. The Phoenix Tribe had the Dragon Tribe as an ally and multiple races who had received Lu Yang’s assistance in the secret domain, so they didn’t fear the Demon Alliance.

Seeing this, the Jiuying Tribe called over their chieftain.

Not to be outdone, the Phoenix Tribe also called over their chieftain.

As things unfolded, the chieftains of the various major races had all arrived, each lending their presence to support their own races.

“What’s going on with Little Junior Brother? It’s been three days, and he still hasn’t come out?” Gan Tian quietly asked Meng Jingzhou. If something were to happen to Little Junior Brother in the secret domain, I’d feel guilty for life.

Meng Jingzhou revealed a helpless smile. “Senior Sister, putting aside the secret domain’s rule of not divulging what happens inside, whereby I can’t say anything, even if I could say anything, I genuinely have no idea what that grandson Lu Yang is doing in there.

“You need not worry about him, Senior Sister. Based on my understanding of him, he should be safe inside the secret domain. He might even be more comfortable than we are out here.”

Meng Jingzhou knew best what trump cards Lu Yang had. Internally, he has an ancient immortal protecting him, and externally, he has the Animal Form Fist to summon Big Senior Sister. With both internal and external safeguards, what could possibly go wrong?

“Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit—you were given the easy way out, yet you insist on choosing the hard way out!” The Jiuying Tribe Chieftain’s visage distorted with viciousness.

Most of the demon tribes have already joined the Demon Kingdom. The ancient Dijiang’s unification of the Demon Region is already a foregone conclusion. The Dragon and Phoenix tribes can’t see the situation clearly and dare to resist stubbornly. I had kindly advised them to submit to the Demon kingdom early, and this is how I was treated!

They truly don’t know how the character for “death” is written!

“Haha, it’s so lively here?”

A hearty laugh echoed from the sky. Factions from outside the Demon Region had arrived!

“Isn’t this the Nine-Headed Snake? I trapped you in a secret domain for five years, remember? It’s been over a thousand years since we last met, right?

“You, from the Taowu Tribe, what was your name again? Still remember me? I’d even beat you up before!”

Finding the voice familiar, Meng Jingzhou looked up. It was his shifu.

Third Elder sat on a cloud, cheerfully recounting the embarrassing stories of the Jiuying Tribe Chieftain and other demons.

First Elder, Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder, and Seventh Elder were also present. Over half of the Dao-Seeking Sect’s elders had arrived at the Creation Ancient Domain.

“Finally here.” Gan Tian heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing the situation escalating, she had contacted Yun Zhi to consult her on what should be done.

Yun Zhi’s reply was simple: I’ll send people to divert attention.

Coincidentally, the Demon Kingdom’s founding was imminent. Major factions from the cultivation world were sending representatives, and the Dao-Seeking Sect was no exception. Thus, Yun Zhi had the elders attending the founding ceremony assist Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

“They’re from the Dao-Seeking Sect!” Upon seeing these familiar faces, the Jiuying Tribe Chieftain was furious, his face contorted. With a bang, he transformed into his Jiuying true form—a body composed of nine heaven-devouring pythons.

The events of a thousand years ago were still fresh in his memory. If not for these fellows, how could I have been trapped in a secret domain for five long years?! I nearly held up my cultivation!

The Taowu Tribe Chieftain was equally enraged. A thousand years ago, I was full of spirit and ambition, a genius celebrated by the entire Taowu Tribe. At the height of my fame, these fellows from the Dao-Seeking Sect privately challenged me to a one-on-one fight.

If they had used underhanded methods to win, that would have been fine. Yet it was a fair fight that time. My skills were inferior, and I lost to the Dao-Seeking Sect’s Old Three in a contest of physical strength and power!

He viewed this as a great humiliation and hadn’t told anyone. This incident made me despondent for a long time. Now that the Dao-Seeking Sect’s Old Three has dredged this up and disclosed it to the public, how could I leave this lying down?!

It wasn’t just these two races. Even the usually good-tempered Jade Rabbit Tribe showed hostility upon seeing the Dao-Seeking Sect’s elders.

“It’s the Dao-Seeking Sect! Everyone, attack together!”

With the Dao-Seeking Sect airing their embarrassing stories one by one, the demons temporarily forgot about decorum and the Demon Alliance. They just wanted to swarm the Dao-Seeking Sect and capture them!

The great demons revealed their true forms one after another. For a moment, it was a scene of demons running wild, with demon energy soaring to the heavens.

Seeing their objective achieved, First Elder quickly gathered everyone and fled.

“Stop right there if you dare!” The Jiuying Tribe Chieftain chased after them desperately.

But how could First Elder listen to his nonsense? He rode the clouds and mist, escaping at top speed!

The bustling Creation Ancient Domain instantly became empty, leaving only Gan Tian and Meng Jingzhou staring at each other.

Even the Phoenix Tribe had given chase. Although they held no deep grudge against the Dao-Seeking Sect, not chasing them would make it seem like they didn’t fit in.

The corners of Meng Jingzhou’s mouth twitched. Fortunately, I had kept a low profile in the Demon Region and hadn’t exposed my identity as a Dao-Seeking Sect disciple. If I had, it would have been disastrous!

“Haha, I’m out!”

The exit of the Creation Ancient Domain opened. Lu Yang hopped out, expecting a welcome from the crowd.

“Where’s everyone?”
