Chapter 2740 Jiuping Submits
After putting herself in his shoes, Xiaoyou finally understood.
"At the very least, this Great Lord should first settle scores with Qu Zhenzun... No one can tolerate this kind of 'framing'!"
"Hmm," Han Wei Zhenzun nodded slightly, "To make a fool of oneself in public... even if it's embarrassing, is a major taboo for a great being!"
The onlookers all understood. As the person involved, Jiuping Zhenjun was even more aware of the other party's intention not to mention the Great Lord's name.
He also had to admit that, given the strength of this group, it was very likely that they could embarrass him in public on the Daizhu section!
This is his home empire!
Once the damage is done, even if he manages to get revenge later, it will be too late!
He sighed dejectedly, "Alright, everyone, just tell me, what do you all want?"
For a True Lord to ask such a question, it's basically equivalent to lying down and letting himself be beaten.
None of the six True Venerables spoke; instead, they all looked at Qu Jianlei.
"I knew it!" Jiu Ping thought to himself, this guy is definitely not simple.
The Great Lord Spider was perched on this person, and the two juniors who clearly had True Lord backgrounds also respected him!
He himself is a True Lord, and he knows that having a True Lord background and having an obvious background are two different things!
The entire Daizhu area can be said to have the background of the True Lord, but even Wusheng does not have any protective treasures bestowed by him!
This isn't a matter of being generous or stingy—how difficult is it to seal off one's own offensive or defensive attack?
The key lies in cause and effect. As long as he bestows a defense, once Wusheng activates it, it means that he will have to bear the related cause and effect!
The two juniors on the other side used... attack methods of a True Lord!
No one understands the difference better than him!
However, Qu Jianlei did not rush to name a price. He blinked and said, "Let that bear... that person come out and apologize first."
“Apologize…?” True Monarch Jiuping frowned slightly. “Just tell me what compensation you want.”
"Apologize first!" Qu Jianlei said without hesitation. What he hates most is never the bratty kids, but their parents!
Upon hearing this, True Monarch Jiuping was truly stunned. You are... talking to me?
He already had a bad temper, and had been trying his best to compromise.
But at this moment, he was genuinely so angry that he laughed. "Heh, Taiyuan, am I being too easy to talk to?"
The main reason was that, in his impression, this True Venerable had always been very proper in terms of etiquette.
This sudden and drastic contrast caused him to lose his composure instantly.
The truth is, if the other party continues to act very aggressively, he might actually continue to remain restrained.
When anger gets the better of him, he can't help but retaliate.
No matter how powerful your background is, so what? You're just a mere True Venerable, and this place... is the Bell Spirit Realm!
The young woman spoke leisurely, "The matter didn't just start because of your precious thing; it was the thing that attacked first."
"Hmm, it's just being immature," Nine Screens True Monarch nodded. "And then what?"
He admitted that his family was in the wrong a little bit, but... do you know what an apology is?
An apology from a powerful being is different from an apology from an ordinary person. It's not just a matter of smacking your lips a couple of times; it signifies a causal link!
Okay, even if we lock in cause and effect, it doesn't matter. Right and wrong have already been determined, so they're not that important.
However, forcibly imposing cause and effect on others and making this demand is a huge humiliation!
Who are you? Who are I?
"If that's how you put it, then I have nothing to say," the young woman said calmly. "If you're not going to apologize, then please leave."
"You make it sound like I wouldn't dare," Jiu Ping chuckled dismissively. "Are you all still going to the peninsula? If not, then goodbye!"
"Then we won't go," the young woman said, making the decision on her own.
After a pause, she continued, "For the sake of our past acquaintance, let me ask you a question: Do you have a grudge against the one guarding the passageway?"
"Uh, wait!" True Monarch Jiuping was not a fool after all, and he reacted instantly.
He knew these people had forced their way in—they had admitted it beforehand, but he didn't really know the specifics.
As for the reason, it's similar to what Taiyuan Hai said: the Zhongling Realm is so vast, there are always all sorts of grudges and disputes.
The key point is that those who forced their way in...aren't they all people who couldn't get an invitation?
Why do people with real status choose to use the regular lane instead of the VIP lane?
But at this moment, True Monarch Jiuping truly understood that although the passage was nothing special, it was under the supervision of the Spirit Monarch!
So the other party has some connections and doesn't need to explain themselves to me, but there's a checkpoint at the entrance!
"It's alright, I won't go," the young woman said casually. "You've already obtained the secret of the foolish scheme; we outsiders should be careful to protect ourselves!"
"Damn it, do you have to go this far?" Nine Screens True Monarch snapped, "I'm very poor!"
Everyone says that cultivators in the Zhongling Realm are wealthy, but after he went to the Taiyuan Sea to discuss the Dao, he realized that this person was truly extravagant.
Leaving aside real wealth, let's just talk about the Three Thousand Minor Realms—do you know what that means?
As he spoke, he had a sudden thought and released the chubby boy.
"Apologize! Make amends to these uncles and aunts from out of town!"
The chubby boy finally managed to get together, and he still looked a little bewildered.
Upon hearing this, he immediately became agitated, "Apologize? Apologize to whom? And... uncles and aunts, these are the younger generation?"
“You… I’ve spoiled you too much,” Nine Screens True Monarch raised his hand and pointed, directly imprisoning the little fat boy.
"Apologize to me! Who are you calling a junior? You've only been sentient for a few years! These people are over a thousand years old!"
Qu Jianlei spoke leisurely, "It's alright, I'm just a junior, not even six hundred years old yet."
“Not even... six hundred years old!” Nine Screen True Monarch’s eyelids twitched violently twice. What kind of monster is this?!
The next moment, he raised his hand and slapped the chubby boy hard on the back of the head. "Aren't you going to apologize to me?"
"To him?" The chubby boy glanced at Qu Jianlei, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes. "No way!"
"You won't? Very well!" True Monarch Jiuping took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "You won't even listen to me anymore!"
"Brother Jiuping, he hurt me!" the chubby boy cried out. "He's the worst!"
His intelligence was indeed average, but he knew where the greatest harm he had suffered came from.
The ultimate golden flames were extremely powerful, and the spider even stole a wisp of his essence.
But based on his intuition, he could still tell that this guy with black and white wheels in his eyes was someone who could directly hurt him!
“Then I won’t force you,” Qu Jianlei waved his hand and said expressionlessly, “A dignified Six Meridians Grand Lord should have some dignity.”
A brat is a brat. Since the adults at home don't care, then... they'll have to wait to be taught a lesson by society in the future.
Nine Screens True Lord took another deep breath, and was about to speak when suddenly a thought struck him.
The next moment, his eyes were filled with apprehension as he looked at Qu Jianlei, "Your elders... are you a disciple of Haoran Sect?"
“This… it’s not quite there yet,” Qu Jianlei replied seriously. “I come from Houde and came with the acting head of Lingyun.”
“Yes, yes, I know, you’re not,” True Monarch Jiuping nodded at first, then his expression changed, “That’s what you all say!”
Then he raised his hand, pulled the chubby boy in front of him, and gave him a good beating, yelling, "Damn it... I'll teach you to be naughty again!"
"Brother Jiuping, I didn't!" the chubby boy still stubbornly insisted. "I told you beforehand that I would help you get revenge!"
Upon hearing this, Jiu Ping slowed down his movements for a moment before resuming his punches and kicks.
"Did I promise you I'd let you broaden your horizons and take the initiative?"
"Jiuping, stop acting," the young woman couldn't stand it anymore. "Who are you insulting with these ordinary people's fists and kicks?"
"It's mainly because my education was inadequate," Jiuping Zhenjun chuckled dryly, his hands and feet still moving.
"This kid's still not convinced, I need to teach him a lesson!"
Luo Fu suddenly spoke up, "No matter how powerful you are, this is a potential hidden danger. We must eradicate evil completely... Think about the past of the Hundred Friends Alliance!"
In front of outsiders, she would not call Qu Zhenzun, and although she had not been in Houde for long, she had learned a lot about her senior brother's past.
The key issue was that the other party dared to criticize the Haoran Sect, which made her somewhat indignant.
"Huh?" Nine Screen True Monarch was taken aback. How come another troublemaker has appeared?
There are only seven True Venerables in total, so why are there so many troublemakers?
He scanned the other party with his divine sense, felt that something was wrong, and then glanced at him again.
Then he was horrified, "Another one... a disciple of Haoran?"
"You're so talkative!" Luo Fu was furious upon hearing this. "I've been pretending all along, it's been so hard, you know?"
However, she controlled her emotions well, merely glancing at the other person indifferently, "I'm not..."
“I know, you are not yet either!” Nine Screen True Monarch nodded dejectedly.
That faint air of righteousness you exude... Do you really think I've wasted my life at this age?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he could no longer control his temper.
The next moment, he went berserk and tore the chubby boy in half, then into four pieces...
"I'll teach you to be stubborn again. Do you know how miserable your future might be?"
In the blink of an eye, he had torn the chubby boy into countless pieces, still cursing, "You dare to hold a grudge? You hold a grudge!"
"I've never seen anyone so reckless!"
"But I..." The chubby boy could still talk back, but he was really too scared to say anything. "The uncle on the other side has already let me go."
Luo Fu couldn't hold back any longer and glanced at Han Li, "Aren't you going to say something?"
"Me?" Han Li looked at her in astonishment. You little girl, haven't you been ignoring me all this time?
Then he pointed to himself, "What can I say?"
"We must eradicate evil completely!" Luo Fu was truly anxious. "You are his Daoist companion, he will listen to your words!"
"A Daoist partner?" Han Li grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.
Sure enough, I knew it... While venting his anger, Lord Jiuping was also observing the situation.
This True Venerable who possesses the Supreme Golden Flame was being reprimanded by that... disciple of Haoran, and he seemed quite pleased with himself!
How many hidden big shots are among these mere seven True Venerables?
And just how terrifying is this leading True Venerable? He even resides within the Taiyuan Sea!
