Chapter 36 The Duanmu Family’s Plot

“Alright then, you can stay here and guard the sect.”

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and flew away.

He left just like that?

He actually did not ask for my help?

The Three-eyed Tiger could not help itself. It crawled up and sensed that Jiang Cheng was about to fly out of the mountain gate. This kid really was not putting on an act.

a

How strange!

Then, it suddenly understood.

This kid did not need to bring it over at all. When the summoning talisman was activated, it would have to go even if it did not want to!

Damn! Thinking about this, it immediately became so angry that its heart felt stifled.

The disciples in the hall were still praising the sect master’s divine might as if he was someone who had descended from the heavens and was invincible in battle.

“Do you really believe that he’s that powerful?”

“To tell you the truth, he’s just a soul division realm cultivator.”

Even if it could not defy the summoning talisman, it wanted to find a way to destroy that kid’s reputation and make him suffer!

“That’s impossible!”

Jiang Cheng’s most ardent disciple, Ji Linghan, immediately retorted loudly.

“Sect master has lived for over a thousand years. His strength is unfathomable. At the very least, he’s a heavenly fate realm cultivator!”

The three-eyed tiger sneered.

“Lived for a thousand years?”

“He’s less than 20 years old. How could he hide his age from me?”

As the topic was related to the sect master’s prestige, the disciples suddenly felt that Lord Tiger was not as amiable and respectable as before.

Luo Yuan also stood out to refute its words.

“The sect master has destroyed four sects in a row!”

“That’s right! How could a mere soul division realm destroy four sects?”

“Hmph! It’s obvious that you, little kitty cat, are just jealous of the sect master and are deliberately trying to badmouth him while he’s not around!”

What?

Little kitty cat? It was no longer Lord Tiger?

Just because it told the truth, it had been demoted. Where did all their previous respect for it go?

Also, were they accusing it of being jealous of that kid?

Would a great demon king be jealous of a soul division realm ant?

The Three-eyed Tiger was so angry that it jumped up. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, wanting to kill everyone present!

This was intolerable!

Were it not for the restrictions binding it as a guardian spirit beast, it might have really made a move on these disciples.

“To tell you the truth, I was the one who destroyed those four sects!”

“That kid was useless. He only used a few summoning talismans!”

“Do you really think he’s that powerful?”

“If it weren’t for me, he would have been chopped into mincemeat long ago!”

From its excited appearance, it did not seem like it was lying, and the disciples could not help but have their doubts.

Thinking back, when the Extreme Moon sect was destroyed, there had indeed been a rumor that a huge phantom of a tiger demon had appeared in the sky.

In addition, the sect master had indeed always displayed the strength of a soul division realm cultivator.

Could it be that its words were true?

“Those four sects were really destroyed by

you?”

The Three-eyed Tiger raised its head.

“Of course!”

Ji Linghan could not help but turn anxious.

“Then why aren’t you going to help the sect master?”

The Three-eyed Tiger rolled its eyes, and its small body, which was sitting on the high-back chair, became even more relaxed.

“Why should I go? I have to put in the effort only for him to take the credit? In your dreams!”

Ji Linghan quickly signaled with her eyes, and the disciples immediately began to serve tea and fruit, bringing out the fans once again…

“Lord Tiger, you’re so powerful. It shouldn’t be difficult for you to destroy the Crimson Sun sect, right?”

“Hmm?”

“Why don’t you make a move again?”

The Three-eyed Tiger enjoyed being served by the disciples. However, would it take the initiative to help Jiang Cheng?

“No way!”

“Lord Tiger, you are unrivaled and invincible. Don’t you want to make a name for yourself?”

“No.”

Although it refused, in fact, the Three-eyed Tiger enjoyed the feeling of being flattered. It hoped that the disciples would flatter it even more.

This was only natural, after all. While it was indeed a demon king, no one in the Heavenly Demon domain would flatter or praise it.

Even the lesser demons felt that it was a useless demon king. Ever since it had fallen to the bottom of the rankings among the twelve demon kings, it had been viewed as a disgrace to the tiger clan.

While the disciples were continuing to persuade the Three-eyed Tiger, Jiang Cheng had already left the Flying Immortal sect.

He did not hide his presence as he traveled. He just flew straight over to the Crimson Sun sect openly.

Therefore, there were countless people who saw him.

Who was Jiang Cheng now? He was the most popular figure in Qinglan Prefecture!

In just a moment, the news of him heading over to the Crimson Sun sect alone spread like wildfire.

“What is Jiang Cheng doing?”

“Is he planning to destroy the Crimson Sun sect as well?”

“Crazy, he’s just one person. How is that even

possible?”

“You said the same thing about the Extreme Moon sect, Dark Ice sect…”

“The Crimson Sun sect is more than ten times stronger than those sects combined. They’re not on the same level at all!”

“In my opinion, he’s going to sue for peace, right?”

“It’s possible. Didn’t the Crimson Sun sect ask the Flying Immortal sect to surrender?”

Even though his glorious battle record included the destruction of the four sects, one after the other, everyone still thought that Jiang Cheng was going to the Crimson Sun sect to express his goodwill and that he was not going to start a war with them. This was only natural. It was difficult for them to believe that a single person could wipe out a sect as powerful as the Crimson Sun sect.

However, the Duanmu family had a different view.

“The Crimson Sun sect is finished.”

“In front of the Three-eyed Tiger Demon, the Crimson Sun sect will definitely bleed like an ocean.”

The Duanmu family elders had gathered together to discuss something important.

Unlike the others in the outside world, they knew that Jiang Cheng possessed a trump card that could destroy the world—the Three-eyed Tiger.

Before the Three-eyed Tiger, Duanmu Chi, who was at the third level of the spiritual altar realm, was wiped out without even making a sound.

It could be said that this tiger demon was an existence that could even destroy the entire Qinglan Prefecture.

It was impossible for the Crimson Sun sect to survive if it made a move.

The family head, Duanmu Hong, raised his head and laughed loudly, obviously taking pleasure in the misfortune of others.

“Hahahaha, once the Crimson Sun sect is destroyed, then our Duanmu family…”

He had originally wanted to say that after the Crimson Sun sect was destroyed, would it not then be the Duanmu family’s turn to rule?

However, while he laughed, he suddenly felt constipated.

This was because he had thought of something. Even if the Crimson Sun sect was destroyed, it would not be the Duanmu family’s turn to rule either.

That three-eyed tiger did not belong to them.

After the Crimson Sun sect was destroyed, the Flying Immortal sect would become even stronger.

Moreover, Duanmu Chi had offended the Flying Immortal sect. Perhaps the Duanmu family would also be destroyed in the future.

So, what was there to be happy about?

“I wonder what kind of fortuitous encounter Jiang Cheng had that allowed him to have such a powerful tiger demon serve under him.”

“If we knew that this would happen, we would have taken the initiative to express our goodwill instead.”

“That’s right. The rise of the Flying Immortal sect is already unstoppable. If we had established a good relationship with them earlier, we would have been able to receive a share of the spoils as well!”

“What a pity…”

The elders of the Duanmu family felt a little regretful.

Then, they secretly blamed the Flying Immortal sect. Why did you not tell us earlier that you had such a powerful demonic beast?

If you had told us earlier, we would not have sent Duanmu Chi over to show off!

“Hmph!”

Duanmu Hong snorted and slammed the table.

“What’s done is done! There’s no turning back now.”

“Moreover, we still have a chance to turn the tables!”

“Ah? Big Brother, can you defeat that tiger demon?”

Duanmu Zhe, the second family head of the Duanmu family, was puzzled.

That tiger demon was at least at the heavenly fate realm. Even if the Duanmu family’s direct and extended families sent over tens of thousands of clansmen to fight it, they would still end up being crushed like ants, right?

In the face of absolute strength, regardless of what method they used, it would all be pointless.

Faced with the puzzled and doubtful gazes of the elders, Duanmu Hong smiled proudly.

“Did you all notice that the tiger demon did not follow Jiang Cheng this time?”

“According to our spies, the tiger demon is still inside the Flying Immortal sect and hasn’t moved out yet.”

Hearing this, the elders’ eyes lit up.
