Chapter 78: The Calamity Caused By a Painting!
When he said this, Song Meng’s expression turned serious.
In the immortal cultivation world, grudges were very simple matters.
Immortal cultivators who went against the Heavens needed to be open-minded to begin with. If their thoughts didn’t go smoothly, it was very easy for them to go mad.
Therefore, regardless of whether it was kindness or favor, they would basically take revenge on the spot! Even if they could not repay it on the spot, they would definitely end it later.
This was also the so-called non-sticking karma.
“Oh? Could it be that you did not accidentally obtain the ‘Goodness is like water’?”
Song Meng spoke indifferently, but he did not care too much about it in his heart.
In the immortal cultivation world, it had always been those who were fated to obtain treasures that had virtue. Those who were not strong enough had instead obtained great treasures. Those were not treasures at all, but things that could drive one to death!
A few days ago, Song Meng received a report from a spy that had been planted in the Mystic Water Sect for many years. He said that the Sect Master of the Mystic Water Sect, Huang Ze, seemed to have obtained a treasure a few days ago and had been cultivating arduously for a period of time.
After many inquiries, Song Meng found out that it was actually a painting!
A painting was actually regarded as a great treasure by Daoist Master Huang Ze and he had been cultivating arduously for such a long time? This news made Song Meng take it seriously!
Previously, although his Song family was powerful, they didn’t do much to the Mystic Water Sect and the Grand Moon Sect.
Firstly, there was no need. Even if there weren’t any Soul Formation stage cultivators in these sects, it wouldn’t be easy to take them down.
Secondly, there was no profit to be made!
To a big family like the Song family, the Grand Moon Sect and the Mystic Water Sect were only second-rate sects.
What they really needed to align themselves with and make friends with were those sects with Soul Formation stage cultivators or even Tribulation Transcension stage cultivators!
Only those sects were worthy of the Song family’s attack!
Now, the Daoist Master Huang Ze had obtained a precious treasure and was hiding it. It was obviously very precious.
In addition, the Song family had an opportunity recently, and they wanted to make some moves!
It could only be said that the Mystic Water Sect had accidentally b.u.mped into the muzzle of a gun!
Thinking of this, Song Meng thought of the divine phoenix that had flown to his house a while ago and made his grandfather, the Soul Formation stage old monster of the Song family, involuntarily kneel down and worship it. His heart was burning with pa.s.sion!
His Song family’s patriarch was actually able to get to know a divine bird like the phoenix in the immortal world!
A few days ago, when the phoenix came to his Song family, it even gave him a lot of treasures. It was said that he was familiar with the Song family’s patriarch in the immortal world.
Naturally, a portion of this opportunity would fall on his head.
In the near future, the Song family would use the momentum of the phoenix descending to the mortal world to wipe out four or five small second-rate sects in one go!
The Song family would become the only overlord in this area!
The reason why they attacked the Mystic Water Sect today was because of the painting, and it was just the beginning!
“Even if you didn’t get it by chance, what can you do? Could it be that you, Huang Ze, can pull out some big shot to suppress me?”
Song Meng sneered and said directly, “To be honest, a few days ago, a divine bird, the phoenix, came to my family. I’m sure you’ve seen this divine bird. It’s an old divine bird with my Song family’s patriarch! Our Song family has obtained the treasure bestowed by the Divine Bird Phoenix. From today onwards, we will take down all the surrounding sects.”
“I’m too lazy to waste my breath on you. If you’re sensible, hurry up and hand over the painting. Then, put down your weapon and become a slave in our Song family. Naturally, we’ll let you live.”
“Otherwise, go to h.e.l.l!”
The cultivation world was just so real.
At this moment, Song Meng couldn’t even be bothered to hide it.
With a cold light flashing in his eyes, Song Meng was about to see Daoist Master Huang Ze crying his eyes out, but unexpectedly, he saw Daoist Master Huang Ze laughing as if he had gone mad!
“Is he mad?”
Song Meng was somewhat puzzled!
Suddenly, the Huang Ze roared and laughed wildly!
“Brat Song Meng, do you know why that Divine Bird Phoenix came to the mortal world?!”
“That phoenix descended to the mortal world because of the owner of this painting!”
“Today, you destroyed my Mystic Water Sect. I have nothing to say. On the path of cultivation, your skills are inferior to others. Naturally, there should be a calamity! However, Your Song family won’t be able to survive for long!”
“I want to ask that Senior if he will give me justice for you s.n.a.t.c.hing my painting and killing my disciples!”
“The treasure that the phoenix gave to your Song family? Hahaha! Even the phoenix has to acknowledge that person as its Master! Whatever Senior Liu can give to you, naturally, you will be able to return it to him without missing a single bit!”
With that said, Huang Ze leaped up and burned the spiritual energy in his body!
He was actually going to use an escape technique even if he was severely injured!
Song Meng’s expression changed. Let’s not talk about whether what Huang Ze said was true or false for now.
He had never thought that Huang Ze would actually burn his own spiritual energy in order to escape!
His cultivation base was higher than Huang Ze’s. In a head-on battle, he even had a treasure with him, so he was not afraid that Huang Ze would escape.
However, if the Huang Ze burned his spiritual power and only wanted to run away, even if he was already in the late Nascent Soul stage, he would not be able to stop it!
Furious, Song Meng shouted, “Stop him! Don’t let him run away!”
However, this time, because he came with a treasure, Song Meng did not ask his patriarch to help him. How could he stop him now?
Wild laughter could be heard from high up in the sky!
“Song Meng, you little brat, I’ll definitely return all of the sins you committed today! Hahaha!”
By the time his voice faded, Daoist Master Huang Ze’s aura had already disappeared.
If a Nascent Soul cultivator focused on escaping, even a Soul Formation cultivator wouldn’t be able to catch him for a moment.
Song Meng stood there, his heart burning with fury, and his eyes filled with deep fear!
A moment later, he steeled his heart and roared!
“Kill! Don’t leave a single one alive!”
…
However, after burning his spiritual energy, he fled like crazy.
By the time he reached the vicinity of the Grand Moon Sect, the spiritual energy in his body was almost completely burnt out!
He was also filled with extreme hatred!
That brat Song Meng killed his disciples like killing a chicken, showing no mercy at all!
‘Senior Liu lured the phoenix down to the mortal world, but it turned out to be a great disaster for our Mystic Water Sect. Although this matter has nothing to do with Senior Liu, Song Meng wants to s.n.a.t.c.h the ‘Goodness is like water’ that Senior gave me. Senior will definitely not sit idly by.’
Just as he was about to head to the Immortal’s Destiny shop, Huang Ze suddenly hesitated.
On second thought, he directly flew into the sky and flew towards the Grand Moon Sect!
After all, the process of him and Senior Liu getting to know each other was through Zhu Zhao.
At this moment, if there was Zhu Zhao present, if he were to appear a little more miserable, it would surely attract the sympathy of that Senior!
With this thought in mind, Huang Ze broke through the air and directly arrived at the Grand Moon Sect!
“Who is it?!”
The disciple in charge of guarding immediately discovered Huang Ze and asked loudly!
After all, Huang Ze was here to ask for help, so he kept a low profile.
“Please report that the Sect Master of the Mystic Water Sect, Huang Ze, is here to visit an old friend!”
“Daoist Master Huang Ze?”
This disciple knew Huang Ze. When Zhu Zhao was celebrating his birthday, Huang Ze gave him a life-prolonging pill. It was obvious that he was a good friend of his Sect Master.
Therefore, this disciple hurriedly raised his hand to invite him.
“Senior Huang Ze, please come in. Wait in the guest room for a moment. I will go and inform the sect leader!”
