Chapter 645 - 353: Great True Monarch of Zircon Jade, Picking the Soft Persimmon
The Great True Monarch Qing Gang felt indignant for Qi Chuan in his heart.
However, Qi Chuan didn’t pay much attention to it.
He merely smiled and nodded to the Great True Monarch Yin Bone before him, saying, "Qi Chuan has met Fellow Daoist Yin Bone."
"Well said."
The Great True Monarch Yin Bone nodded, but then suddenly said to Qi Chuan, "But, Fellow Daoist Qi Chuan, have you come here today perhaps to help Fellow Daoist Qing Gang in seizing the opportunity of the Cave Mansion which I discovered?"
The Great True Monarch Qing Gang didn’t know what to say.
But Qi Chuan gently nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Qing Gang can think so."
"But the choice is yours. If you choose to leave immediately today, then naturally nothing will happen between the three of us."
"Oh ho ho..." However, upon hearing Qi Chuan’s words, the Great True Monarch Yin Bone started chuckling eerily.
His gaze moved between Qi Chuan and the Great True Monarch Qing Gang, laughing darkly, "Are the two of you trying to bully me with numbers?"
"So what if we are?"
Standing beside Qi Chuan, the Great True Monarch Qing Gang stared directly at the Great True Monarch Yin Bone and stepped forward immediately, saying, "Since Fellow Daoist Yin Bone is unwilling to settle peacefully, I naturally have no reason to maintain any superficial politeness. To put it bluntly today, we two brothers indeed intend to bully you with numbers!"
"Fellow Daoist Yin Bone, I admit, your strength is indeed quite strong. Even I concede that I might be slightly weaker than you."
"However, I’m afraid that today you still have to choose to retreat."
The tone of the Great True Monarch Qing Gang was confrontational.
In the Great True Monarch Realm, taking on two enemies at once is exceedingly difficult.
Though not entirely impossible.
Yet, his strength compared to Yin Bone’s is almost negligible.
At this point, with a newly ascended Great True Monarch as an ally, when facing Yin Bone, they could probably stand in an invulnerable position.
Moreover, this new ally is Qi Chuan.
With Qi Chuan present, combining the strength of the two, even defeating Yin Bone is a conceivable outcome.
Under such circumstances, if Yin Bone wants to continue contending for the opportunity within the Cave Mansion, he must weigh whether he truly has the strength.
"Indeed, indeed."
"An up-and-comer with a bit of spirit."
Upon hearing these words, the Great True Monarch Yin Bone nodded lightly towards both the Great True Monarch Qing Gang and Qi Chuan, seemingly acknowledging their strength in confronting him.
This courage seemed to be praiseworthy.
"So, what is your choice, Fellow Daoist Yin Bone?" The Great True Monarch Qing Gang stared directly at the Great True Monarch Yin Bone, pressing again.
The Great True Monarch Yin Bone sighed slightly, saying, "The two of you came prepared. How could I go against the tide without any conflict? Of course, I shall politely withdraw."
Upon hearing this, the Great True Monarch Qing Gang breathed a slight sigh of relief. This Great True Monarch Yin Bone was indeed very powerful, and if he could withdraw voluntarily, it would surely be for the best.
However, just as he breathed this sigh of relief, the chilling voice of the Great True Monarch Yin Bone resounded once again.
"Unfortunately, there’s a slight twist today that might go beyond Fellow Daoist Qing Gang’s expectations."
The Great True Monarch Yin Bone said plainly, "Fellow Daoist Zircon Jayu, won’t you show yourself?"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of shock appeared on the face of the Great True Monarch Qing Gang as he suddenly looked up.
Qi Chuan’s gaze followed.
Whoosh!
A slight whooshing sound echoed from the distant sky.
Immediately, another dazzling streak shot across the sky, speeding rapidly, arriving nearby in a few blinks.
As the light dissipated, a graceful, middle-aged man with a jade fan appeared, smiling with his eyes, exuding a significant True Monarch Spiritual Pressure from within.
Judging solely from the Spiritual Pressure, this person’s cultivation was undoubtedly high, a formidable presence among the Great True Monarchs!
"Great True Monarch of Zircon Jade!"
Upon seeing this person, the Great True Monarch Qing Gang’s countenance suddenly fell, his expression displeased.
This Great True Monarch of Zircon Jade was also a renowned Great True Monarch powerhouse within the Chaotic Demon Sea.
Though his strength was not as great as Yin Bone’s, he was comparable to the Great True Monarch Qing Gang.
And most importantly, due to past events, there was some friction between the Great True Monarch of Zircon Jade and the Great True Monarch Qing Gang. Even the relationship between their respective sects, the Zircon Jade Sect and the Cyan Gang Sect, was very poor.
The Great True Monarch Qing Gang never expected that the Great True Monarch Yin Bone would have help arrive.
And this help turned out to be his longtime rival, the Great True Monarch of Zircon Jade.
At this moment, the mood of the Great True Monarch Qing Gang worsened significantly.
"I apologize, dear fellows, for arriving suddenly and disrupting your pleasures."
The Great True Monarch of Zircon Jade smiled gently, covering his face with the jade fan in his hand, and though his mouth wasn’t visible, warm words came from behind the fan: "Recently, I’ve been in the Yin Bone Sect, discussing business matters with Fellow Daoist Yin Bone."
"Unexpectedly, Fellow Daoist Yin Bone made a surprising discovery, so I had to come along as well."
"I hope you two fellow Daoists, are not angry with Zircon Jayu."
After finishing his words, the Great True Monarch of Zircon Jade’s gaze flowed over the faces of both the Great True Monarch Qing Gang and Qi Chuan, particularly lingering longer on the latter, with curved brows and eyes.
"What a misfortune."
At this, Qi Chuan’s mood turned somewhat sour.
