met free 78. If he pays, I'll pay.
78. If he pays, I'll pay.
Just as everyone was about to ask a question, Zhao Muzun said again, "Heavenly Eye, would you please hand over the divine artifact to the Public Court for safekeeping? The Public Court swears to Heaven that it will never use the divine artifact for personal gain or to profit from it. All the martial artists present are witnesses."
Tianlai thought to himself, "I shouldn't have come! I can use it however I want, it's my business, I don't want you to use it!"
Tianlai truly regretted coming here to watch the spectacle, but after acquiring two divine artifacts, he thought about Su Huanzhen's indifferent attitude and the masked man's extremely fast speed.
There was also the Demon Realm War General, renowned for his military exploits and wielding two divine artifacts.
He felt uneasy.
The Public Court is now a powerful force. He originally thought that Zhao Muzun would target the Demon Realm and the schemers in the shadows, but he never expected that the dignified Public Court would pick on the weak right away and forcibly demand his divine artifact. It was simply despicable and shameless!
Tianlai cursed inwardly, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, he dared not offend Zhao Muzun. This shameless man had used his power to intimidate people from the start; who knew what he might do even more despicable things behind the scenes!
After a moment of desperate thought, he actually came up with an idea and immediately said, "I'm not the only one who possesses the divine artifact. As long as the Demon Realm hands over the artifact, I will!"
Zhao Muzun wanted to establish a public court, and dared to question Heaven's will in this way, so he must have already prepared his arguments.
But just as he was about to say that the Demon Realm had signed a peace agreement with Su Huanzhen, and that the Public Court would discuss the matter with Su Huanzhen afterward, and then invite the Demon Realm's War Commander to discuss it further.
Suddenly a voice rang out from the sky.
"I heard someone mentioned the Demon Realm?"
Then, three beams of light descended from the sky, transforming into the figures of Teng Xielang, Shesheng Tongzi, and Ren Chenfu.
"Sage Su, Fairy Tan... Oh, Daoist Master, it's been a long time."
Teng Xie greeted acquaintances as if no one else was around, and even waved to Chi Yunran, causing the other person's eyes to twitch slightly.
Before Su Huanzhen could even step forward to speak, Zhao Muzun said in a deep voice, "The Demon Realm War General's arrival is an honor. The Public Court has failed to receive you properly and has been very impolite."
Teng Xie turned to Zhao Mu Zun, a slightly amused smile on his face. "Alright, I've come uninvited, so please don't treat me like an unwelcome guest, Court Master. I didn't intend to spoil everyone's fun, but someone brought up the Demon Realm, didn't I?"
"Um……"
After a moment's thought, Zhao Muzun said in a deep voice, "Since the War General has brought it up, I, the Court Master, will venture to ask, how does the War General intend to deal with the divine artifact? I ask this for two reasons: first, for the sake of peace in the martial world; and second, because the divine artifact was indeed discovered by me, my friend Wolongxing, and another friend, and we decided together to seal it away."
"Oh, I see. The Court Master truly has the world in his heart."
Teng Xie suddenly turned to Tan Wuyu, "Fairy Tan, you'd be very suitable to join the Public Court and contribute to peace in the martial world."
Tan Wuyu suddenly felt an urge to roll his eyes. Others might think Teng Xie was serious, but he knew what Teng Xie was mocking.
But with Tan Laojian's thick skin, he was completely unaware. "The divine weapon in the hands of the War General is indeed one of the things that everyone is most concerned about."
"oh?"
Teng Xie unleashed his power to shake the heavens, gesturing towards the assembled martial artists, "Who here wants this divine artifact?"
Everyone said, "You asked the wrong question. You should ask who doesn't want it."
However, no one dared to correct Teng Xie, given his proven track record.
Teng Xie turned to Tian Lai Yan, "Do you want it? With three divine artifacts in hand, do you dare to challenge the Public Court? If you and Fu Rong Gu join forces, your strength will surpass Bei Chen Yuan Huang. I have high hopes for you."
"..."
Tianlai had to admit that his heart was pounding. If he could truly master the three divine artifacts...
Tianlai gasped for breath, then saw Tengxie's ambiguous smile. He glanced at Zhaomu Zun, Su Huanzhen, Tan Wuyu, and the others, all of whom were staring at him.
He was instantly drenched in cold water. He had a clear understanding of his own strength. Even if he and Furong Gu were combined, they might not be able to defeat Beichen Yuanhuang. This would make them the target of everyone's concern.
The thought alone made his scalp tingle.
So Tianlai suppressed his burning desire with little difficulty and said somewhat irritably, "Your Excellency doesn't need to tease me. If you are truly of noble character, you can hand over the divine artifact to the public court."
"Sure."
Tengxie then turned to Zhaomu Zun, brandished his Heaven-Shaking Power, and calmly said, "Giving it to the Court Master isn't out of the question, but the Court Master should know that I never do anything without conditions."
Zhao Muzun's heart stirred, his eyes flickered inexplicably, and he said calmly, "Whatever conditions the War General may have, please speak freely. As long as they do not violate justice, reason, and morality, the Court will do its best to meet them."
"First, please, Lord Court Master, stop with your excuses. The divine artifact was given to you by me, not returned to you. And I've decided not to give you the Key of Creation. If you want it, come and take it."
"snort!"
A cold snort came from Zhao Muzun's side. Of course, it was not Zhao Muzun who made it, but Nanming Daozhen, who had a fiery temper. He couldn't stand someone being so arrogant and couldn't help but snort.
Zhao Muzun was pondering... He didn't actually want to object. As long as he could obtain the divine artifact, it was just a matter of explanation. He didn't care in his heart, but on the surface, the head of the public court had to have a respectable explanation.
But Nanming Daozhen's provocative snort left Zhaomu Zun with no time to think... Zhaomu Zun knew all too well what kind of people the demons in the Demon Realm were, and in comparison, this Teng Xielang was simply an anomaly.
"Alright, I just want everyone to know the origin and history of the divine artifact. War General, you don't need to worry too much. I will also adjust my explanation."
"Secondly, the Court Master and you, the four chief ministers of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Legalism, will jointly sign a written agreement guaranteeing that the Public Court will not interfere with any actions of the Otherworldly Demon Realm that do not involve subverting the Central Plains or invading the martial arts world. The Demon Realm's actions will not require arbitration by the Public Court. If the Public Court wants to arbitrate the Demon Realm, it can simply send troops to punish them."
"You're too arrogant!"
Teng Xie's words reignited Nanming Daozhen's fiery temper, and with a furious rebuke, his aura surged forth!
"Is there?"
Teng Xie spoke calmly, and suddenly black energy surged around him, soaring into the sky and condensing into a ferocious black dragon that blotted out the sun, causing the entire Three Realms Rock to suddenly darken!
Roar! ! !
With a roar from the demonic dragon, the entire Three Realms was filled with howling winds and the earth trembled, an invisible pressure pressing down on everyone's heart!
Thump, thump, thump!
Many martial artists with weak willpower were directly forced to their knees by Teng Xie's mental pressure!
Even experts of the level of Chi Yunran, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and other four capitals, felt their bodies becoming increasingly heavy, as if a heavy boulder was pressing down on them.
"Stop!"
Roar!
Then, with a calm and clear voice, Zhao Muzun suddenly unleashed his power, his body surging with pure and holy energy. He activated the Panlong Pearl in his hand, transforming it into a golden dragon that soared into the sky and circled continuously beneath the black dragon, shielding all the martial artists from the pressure.
This turned into Zhao Muzun facing the oppressive power of Teng Xie, and he was immediately shaken... The demon general who was unknown back then has now become so terrifying! His strength is by no means inferior to Jiu Huo, and is even comparable to Yama Hanba!
