#64 - Chapter 64: A look scares the Demonic Music Palace Master
“Nephew, find a way to get the Demon Music Palace to participate in the competition. I have already set up traps in the competition venue!”
Ye Kong immediately understood after hearing Luo Yangtian's words.
No wonder Luo Yangtian had been arguing with Xu Bubai for so long; it turned out he had anticipated the arrival of the Demon Cult and made preparations.
The Sect Leader knew about the spies in the sect long ago and used them to make arrangements to kill the Demon Cult.
“If your Demon Music Palace wants to participate, it can, but we won’t let you participate for free,” Ye Kong said, looking at Xu Bubai.
“State your conditions,” Xu Bubai said softly.
“My Star River Sect has been preparing for this Nine Peaks Competition for a long time and has consumed a lot of manpower and resources. If your Demon Music Palace wants to participate, the fee is ten spirit stones and two spiritual plants per spot.”
Ye Kong set a high price for the spots.
In the secular world, one copper coin buys a bun, one hundred copper coins equal one tael of silver, and ten taels of silver equal one tael of gold.
Ten taels of gold equal one low-grade spirit stone.
One low-grade spirit stone is enough for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to cultivate for a month.
The monthly salary of a mountain peak disciple is only two spirit stones.
Xu Bubai glanced at Luo Yangtian upon hearing this and said, “Can he make the decisions?”
“As I said, he is responsible for the reception. What he says is what goes,” Luo Yangtian said silently.
Ye Kong, my nephew, you really dare to set conditions!
Ten spirit stones for a spot is already a lot, and you also want two spiritual plants?
With such a high price, what if he turns hostile and attacks you?
Although I can save you, I can't guarantee that I can save you completely.
Luo Yangtian felt worried for Ye Kong in his heart.
Xu Bubai laughed loudly after hearing this, “Good!”
He then took out a storage ring and handed it to Ye Kong.
“There are twelve thousand spirit stones and more than three thousand spiritual plants inside. Consider the excess as a gift to you,” Xu Bubai said with a smile.
“But, you must hold it firmly!” Xu Bubai smiled evilly.
Ye Kong took the storage ring, scanned it with his divine sense, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
He actually left a mark in the storage ring? How sinister.
Ye Kong swept away the mark with his divine sense, then put away the storage ring.
“Hall Master Zhu, the Demon Music Palace is also participating, please arrange it,” Ye Kong said, looking at Hall Master Zhu.
“Ye Kong, you…” Zhu Neng was so angry that he couldn't speak.
How could you agree!
The Demon Cult is obviously ambitious. If you agree to let them participate in the Nine Peaks Competition of my Star River Sect, it will be like bringing in a bomb for our disciples!
“Just arrange it, I have made preparations,” Luo Yangtian transmitted his voice to Hall Master Zhu.
Hall Master Zhu understood upon hearing this, looked at the two people in the air, and said loudly:
“Everyone, the Demon Music Palace has come to my Star River Sect to cause trouble. As righteous people, we should unite against them to not disgrace the name of my Star River Sect!”
“I object!” Chen Changqing was the first to jump out and object.
Qin Shou followed closely, “Me too.”
After the two took the lead, more and more disciples objected.
This competition originally belonged to them. If the Demon Cult participates, the difficulty will greatly increase.
And there is also a danger to their lives.
“Peak Master of逍遥Peak, why do you get to make the decision to accept money and let the Demon Cult participate in the Nine Peaks Competition of my Star River Sect?” Chen Changqing stood up and said.
“That’s right!” A group of disciples echoed.
“Silence!” Zhu Neng interrupted the crowd.
“As I said, the Peak Master of 逍遥Peak is responsible for the reception. His words are my words,” Luo Yangtian said.
“Then we won’t participate in the competition!” Chen Changqing directly quit.
“The Nine Peaks Competition is to test everyone’s strength, courage, and decision-making in the face of danger.”
“Now that the Demon Music Palace is participating, although it gives you a sense of pressure, without pressure, how can there be growth?” Luo Yangtian said slowly.
Chen Chunyang also said, “Changqing, don’t be ridiculous.”
“The Nine Peaks Competition is a must!”
Chen Changqing clenched his teeth in anger upon hearing this, but he was helpless.
“Hall Master Zhu, prepare to lead the disciples to the first competition venue,” Luo Yangtian said.
“Yes.” Zhu Neng responded.
“The first round of the Nine Peaks Competition will be held in the Demon Mountain to search for tokens!”
“There are a total of one thousand five hundred tokens. Foundation Establishment disciples will search in the outer area, Golden Core disciples will search in the middle circle, and disciples with Nascent Soul cultivation or above will search in the inner circle.”
Zhu Neng stood in the air and announced the rules of the first competition.
After speaking, Zhu Neng waved his hand, and the Star River Sect’s spirit boat appeared in the air.
“Get on the spirit boat!”
The participating disciples flew onto the spirit boat one after another.
Ye Kong looked at his two disciples and exhorted, “Be careful.”
“Okay.” Lin Yaoyao responded. As long as Master is okay.
As for participating in the competition with the Demon Cult, what is that?
If they meet, just kill them.
Anyway, it’s not the first time they have attacked disciples of the Demon Cult.
Xiao Bai felt a little regretful. Xu Bubai didn't make a move, which disappointed him.
The Palace Master of the dignified Demon Music Palace actually paid money to buy a spot?
You are losing face for my Demon Cult!
Xiao Bai looked up at Xu Bubai with a cold gaze, wishing he could swallow him to restore his demonic energy.
Xu Bubai followed Ye Kong's gaze and looked at his two disciples.
When he saw Xiao Bai and met his eyes, Xu Bubai suddenly felt like he had fallen into hell and was very scared.
This is impossible!
Why would a child's eyes make me feel scared?
This is impossible!
How could I, the dignified Palace Master of the Demon Music Palace, be afraid of a child?
After calming down in his heart, Xu Bubai mobilized his energy again, but found that the person had already boarded the spirit boat.
Who exactly is he?
Why does he make me feel scared?
Ye Kong left a mark on his two disciples. Once they are in danger, he will sense it, which will make it easier to save them at that time.
Although the Nine Peaks Competition is a matter of life and death, he only has these two disciples, and he cannot afford to lose any of them.
Ye Kong withdrew his gaze and looked at Xu Bubai with a calm expression, seeing that he was a little panicked.
“Are you scared?” Ye Kong asked indifferently.
“Heh, how is that possible?”
“I, the dignified Palace Master of the Demon Music Palace, have always been the one scaring people. Who can scare me?” Xu Bubai pretended to be calm.
Ye Kong shook his head and smiled upon hearing this, and didn't expose him.
Although he didn't know what he was scared by, it didn't matter.
As long as he is in the Star River Sect, he can't make any waves.
The task of receiving the Demon Cult has been completed.
Once his disciples leave, he can go back to 逍遥Peak to fish.
As Ye Kong spoke, he suddenly looked forward to going back to his 逍遥Peak to fish.
This reception was very easy for Ye Kong.
Basically, Luo Yangtian had already arranged everything. He just needed to show up, say a few words, and drink some tea.
……
On the Star River Sect's spirit boat.
The Great Elder had been waiting for a long time.
“Peak disciples of each peak, step forward!” The Great Elder shouted in a deep voice.
The peak disciples of the nine peaks stepped forward one after another and bowed.
The Great Elder transmitted his divine sense and told them some things.
“The Sect Leader had long anticipated that the Demon Cult would come, so he set up traps in the competition venue. You peak disciples of the nine peaks must fulfill your obligations, lead the disciples of your respective peaks, and ambush the people of the Demon Cult.”
“I will transmit the location of the traps into your minds and give you the secrets to activate the traps.”
After the Great Elder finished speaking, he moved his divine sense and told the peak disciples of the nine peaks the location of the traps and the secrets to activate them.
“Remember, do not engage in infighting when you arrive at Demon Mountain. First, unite against the outside.” The Great Elder instructed.
“Yes!” The peak disciples of the nine peaks responded.
Chen Changqing and Qin Shou looked at each other and lowered their heads in shame.
Just now, they were still refuting the Peak Master of 逍遥Peak in the Star River Square, saying that the Demon Cult should not be allowed to participate in the competition.
As a result, the Star River Sect had already made countermeasures, wishing that the disciples of the Demon Cult would participate in the competition so that they could be killed.
Thinking of this, the two felt a little ashamed.
Lin Yaoyao now understood the true purpose of the first round of the competition, which was to hunt down disciples of the Demon Cult.
No wonder Master came out with confidence. It turned out that the Sect Leader had long been planning against the Demon Cult, letting Master come forward to negotiate to attract hatred.
The Sect Leader is really not a good person, actually using my Master as a shield!
