#1296 - Chapter 1296: Cool Mount

The Heavenly Emperor could no longer sit still and sent a group of spirit officials to thoroughly investigate.

Someone asked, "Could something have happened on Ye Kong's side?"

Ye Kong had just set foot on Windchase Island when a giant net came down over his head. Ye Kong rolled away to escape, and a large group of disciples emerged behind him, surrounding him.

They repeated the same sentence, "Catch Ye Kong! Catch Ye Kong!"

Ye Kong looked up and suddenly saw the bells in their hands, and he recalled seeing this person when he first entered Windchase Island.

Not only that, but many figures looked somewhat familiar.

Could it be that these people are all disciples who participated in the Spiritual Artifact Conference?

Fu Qi hid in the darkness, watching Ye Kong's expression gradually turn cold.

"Since that's the case, Ye Kong, don't blame me for being impolite!"

All the disciples who should have been teleported back were suddenly teleported back again. This time, they were assigned a suicide mission.

Either capture Ye Kong! Or stay on Windchase Island and become food for the Xie.

Capturing Ye Kong offered a glimmer of hope, and almost without hesitation, everyone rushed towards Ye Kong!

These were all sect disciples who had no grievances with Ye Kong. If Ye Kong fought back and harmed his fellow disciples, he would be burdened with that crime.

If he didn't, Ye Kong could only obediently surrender.

In this world, the strong are always infinitely restrained, while the weak band together and target the strong first.

Ye Kong looked at the approaching disciples, first using a palm strike to knock them to the ground, and then taking the opportunity to slip into the dense forest.

Fu Qi smiled, the dense forest was full of traps specially prepared for Ye Kong.

Ye Kong looked back until he couldn't see anyone anymore, then he stopped. Just as he caught his breath, he heard heavy breathing in his ear.

Ye Kong looked down and realized he had walked into a circle made of white powder. The circle released a fragrant scent that made Ye Kong's body weaken. As soon as his hand touched the ground, a sticky liquid covered it. The Qitian Ring in Ye Kong's hand fell to the ground with a thud.

Underneath the layers of green leaves, a group of black shadows hovered, waiting for a loud noise before they all rushed up and pounced on Ye Kong.

Just as Ye Kong was about to pick it up, a large number of fierce beasts rushed out of the dense forest and pounced on Ye Kong. Ye Kong reached out to block them, inevitably getting bitten a few times, causing him to grit his teeth in pain.

Under the trampling of the fierce beasts, Ye Kong grabbed the Qitian Ring, threw it up with force, and the spiritual light instantly cut all the fierce beasts in half. Immediately, a strong bloody smell filled the air.

Damn it, Ye Kong sighed inwardly. He hadn't controlled his strength just now. After killing the fierce beasts, the bloody smell would attract the dirty things in the dense forest, and it would be difficult to deal with them then.

Now, it's best to figure out how to leave Windchase Island.

Fu Qi was determined to get the Qitian Ring, and he absolutely couldn't let him succeed.

But besides Fu Qi, who else could take Ye Kong away from this hellish place?

Awoo…

A loud howl came, and Ye Kong quickly got up and prepared to defend himself.

Turning around, a giant tail wrapped around Ye Kong. Before he could break free, a warm tongue stretched out from above his head and began to lick the dirt on Ye Kong's hands.

Ye Kong looked up and saw that it was the Xie!

The Xie carefully licked away the dirt on Ye Kong's body, and Ye Kong's mind cleared up a bit. The poisonous gas from the fragrance was also sucked away by the tentacles on the tongue.

Then, the Xie threw Ye Kong on its back and ran straight through the dense forest, back to the center of the crowd.

Fu Qi, who was behind the tree, was gnashing his teeth. How could this be? He had painstakingly raised the Xie for so many years, and not to mention getting the real Qitian Ring, he had never even been able to touch the Xie.

But this Ye Kong did nothing, not only took the Qitian Ring as a weapon, but also had the Xie as a mount, taking all the good things in such a majestic manner!

He had known since birth that this world was always unfair.

But how could it be so unfair!

Why Ye Kong!

Thinking of this, Fu Qi rushed out and stood in front of the Xie.

The Xie still recognized Fu Qi. It stopped, lowered its head to approach Fu Qi, then raised its head and ran away with Ye Kong.

Fu Qi reached out and beckoned. The Xie, which had gone far away, suddenly couldn't help but tremble and howl in pain.

Ye Kong stopped and looked at Fu Qi, "What are you doing?"

Fu Qi opened his hand, revealing a small fish needle.

To deal with a large fierce beast like the Xie, only small things can kill it.

"I left a backup plan from the beginning. If one day the Xie cannot be used by me, then it must never be used by others!"

The Xie fell to the ground in pain, and Ye Kong on its back also fell off. Ye Kong watched the Xie struggling constantly, with a large amount of blood gurgling out of its mouth.

"Ye Kong, you still have a chance to choose now, leave the Qitian Ring, or let the Xie die."

Ye Kong beckoned, "If it were other things, I might not be able to do anything and would really need to ask you for help. But it's a fish needle, sorry, I'm the one who makes these, so I won't bother you."

With that, Ye Kong took out a dagger, neatly cut open the Xie's chest, and then, took a pair of pliers, bypassed the blood vessels and arteries, and neatly hooked out the fish needle firmly embedded in the heart. Finally, he used the needles and thread on his body to sew a beautiful pattern, tied a knot, and finished.

Then, he fed it a hemostatic pill. Done.

Ye Kong clapped his hands and helped the Xie up.

Fu Qi was stunned by all of this.

"Although I haven't done much these years, I have taken a few small apprentices, and I have some experience in handling these things on a daily basis."

Ye Kong rode up again.

Besides Fu Qi, the one who had stayed on Windchase Island the longest was the Xie. Naturally, it also knew where the exit of Windchase Island was.

Fu Qi chased after him all the way, still unwilling to give up.

"I still have one last trump card."

However, with the help of the Xie, Ye Kong directly crossed numerous checkpoints, flew over Windchase Island, and landed directly on the coast of Penglai Town.

Ye Kong also didn't forget to leave a small gift for Fu Qi. After returning to Penglai Town, he brought back all the stranded sect disciples on Windchase Island.

The next thing was the infighting between their sects, which had nothing to do with Ye Kong.

Ye Kong didn't care, but others didn't have such tolerance.

It was time to repay the debts owed in this Spiritual Artifact Conference one by one.

It was inconvenient for the Xie to follow Ye Kong, so Ye Kong found a space to temporarily store the Xie.

As soon as Ye Kong returned to the street, he ran into a spirit official with a worried look on his face. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ye Kong, "Where have you been?"

When he saw the Qitian Ring on Ye Kong's waist, he was even more surprised.

"Ye Kong, you, you actually got the Qitian Ring?"

"Did you cause all this commotion?"
