Chapter 838: Retreat

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Meanwhile, the Black Dog rushed towards the worried White Fox and wagged its tail. It then pressed on the Dragon God handphone proudly.

“The 24-hour Summoning Countdown has begun…”

After that, Vigilante A showed up in front of the Black Dog.

The Black Dog quickly turned off the phone and beckoned. “Master, they’re here.”

Vigilante A gazed towards the distance and nodded. He stood aside silently without moving forwards.

The White Fox saw that and her face lit up. The Black Dog might be plain-looking, but its talisman was undoubtedly effective.

Just now, it did not feel any spatial fluctuations. The next minute, its Prince Charming appeared.

This talisman used for summoning the Dragon God was rare and invaluable.

If it could get its paws on it…

Vigilante A was oblivious to the thoughts of the fox and the dog. Instead, he observed the ongoing confrontation from a high vantage point.

Fang Ning understood Sir System’s thoughts. There was no benefit to intervening right now, so they might as well wait around.

At the same time, the dark figure displayed a vexed expression, but he did not make a move.

He simply remarked coldly. “Aren’t you worried about the demise of your clan? Apart from the saints, no one can cure the disease that I create!”

The elder on the mountain peak did not seem to be bothered. “Don’t make me laugh with your lame threats! The people can just be turned into Spirit Cultivators. Without a physical body, there’s nothing that your disease can do!”

The dark figure was stunned.

His tactic was naturally useless to an obstinate individual.

What an irrepressible hero!

Fang Ning thought to himself in awe as he listened to the conversation.

If it were him, he would be incapable of doing such a thing.

After all, that was Shang Qingshan and his clan. He could simply give up his disciples and turn all of them into Spirit Cultivators without a care in the world.

Spirits were spirits and they could not enjoy human pleasures.

Fang Ning had become a Spirit for about three or four years, so he was very familiar with this feeling.

If not for the effectiveness of Sir System’s pills, which allowed souls to taste food, he would have lost his appetite.

Moreover, according to insider info, having an appetite was a huge enjoyment to deities as well.

It was no different from spending one’s whole life in prison if one lost the ability to enjoy such pleasures.

Fang Ning could never allow himself to turn people close to him into Spirit Cultivators incapable of experiencing the joys of being human.

As for a geezer like Shang Qingshan, he could make a decision like that without a hint of remorse. Obviously, this was not a choice to him, but the only option.

Finally, the white figure smiled and spoke. “Haha, Grandmaster Shang, don’t get so worked up. This arcane realm is crucial in helping me to reach illumination in this realm. If you’re willing to hand it over, I pledge on the Heavenly Axiom that I’ll help you become a god one day.”

“Hahaha, you think you can sweet-talk me after your threats failed to work? You think I’m an ignorant three-year-old? If you know what’s best for you, cure my clan’s disciples of this disease as soon as possible! Or else, don’t even think of becoming gods! The key to you becoming a god lies within my hands.” The face on the mountain peak laughed wickedly.

The two gods glanced at each other and sensed something.

Damn, how the tables have turned.

This old man had excellent tactics. He was indeed a force to be reckoned with!

Fang Ning was satisfied with the outcome. In the first place, the Grandmaster emphasized that he would not give in to threats and seized the upper hand. Then, he turned around and threatened the gods by throwing the difficult decision to them.

“Hey, this old man is defiant.” Sir System was surprised. “Didn’t you recruit an inside man last time to spy on him? That time, the inside man only revealed half of the story, saying that the gods don’t dare to set foot in the Azure Mountain, but he didn’t find out the reason why. It’s been a while and you haven’t followed up on him. You even mentioned that it’s related to a sunk cost? I think this matter is about to sink.”

“Ah, you still remember that…” Fang Ning nearly forgot about the whole thing. How long had Chen Tianxiao been away from his reports?

Did he scoot after getting a bottle of his pills?

That rascal’s got some nerves!

After witnessing the ways of an irrepressible hero, Fang Ning instinctively got influenced.

He told Sir System at once. “Afterwards, you activate that golden fillet on Chen Tianxiao’s head to jolt his memory.”

“Mm, definitely. That geezer must have some goodies to be so defiant.” Sir System agreed wholeheartedly.

“No wonder you remember this matter so well…” Fang Ning exclaimed.

“Cut the crap, you should emulate others. You’re so lucky to have an otherworldly, omniscient System like me, yet you often walk on eggshells and lack guts. It’s very unheroic of you to be so timid when doing important missions, but easily waylaid by a bit of rewards… You’re much worse than others.” Sir System criticized him.

“What do you know? Safety comes first. With his behavior, Shang Qingshan has to be careful, or else he’ll die a premature death.” Fang Ning cautioned.

Meanwhile, the dark figure shook his head and emitted a bloodcurdling laugh. “Hmph, some guts you have! I’ve already seized this realm’s path to becoming a god, so how could I be worried about this? How powerful are you to stop me from reaching illumination again?”

“Hahaha!” The face on the mountain peak let out a hysterical laugh. “You don’t know your place. Insolent malevolent gods like you have no place in this realm’s Heavenly Axiom! You still think of becoming a god? Forget it, if you want the Heavenly Axiom’s blessing, you’ll have to wait until the end of the world!”

A look of uncertainty appeared on the dark figure’s face. This was the main reason why he assisted the Moon Goddess in attacking the Earth’s Heavenly Axiom.

The question was, how did this old man know about his plan?

He seemed to know everything under the sun without stepping out of his residence.

He recalled a rumor. The Grandmaster of the Azure Mountain possessed the ability of “Precognitive Divination”. Ever since he completed his training, his endeavors were smooth-sailing and he never faced any obstructions.

Until today, he managed to secure the Lunaette.

He knew there was more to the Lunaette than met the eye. It was neither a mere piece of land nor was it a shield of the Heavenly Axiom, but it was related to a long-term plan of the saints.

Currently, Shang Qingshan used his close proximity to the arcane realm to his advantage and seized this place. No one else had a chance of taking over this area.

He thought of this and whispered to his companion. “I think we’ve to let today’s matter slide for now. This old man has a heart of stone. He’s not one of those soft-hearted types like Vigilante A, so threats won’t work on him. We can only retreat for now. We shall reconsider our plans after we have finished attacking this realm’s Heavenly Axiom.”

“Fine, let him be. One day, I shall smite him.” The Moon Goddess’ tone was harsh and cold.

Normally, she would not get angry, but this time, the Grandmaster’s decision threatened her hope of reaching illumination.

If she failed to reach illumination again, she would be no different from a regular cultivator, and neither would she live a long and peaceful life.

When her most basic interest was under threat, she was incapable of controlling her anger, no matter how refined she was.

The gods were always like that. They still had mood swings despite their high and mighty positions.

It was not that they were unable to get rid of this trait, but retaining mood swings were beneficial to longevity as it worked as an inner driving force.

After both gods ended their discussion, the dark figure rushed towards the mountain peak and chuckled menacingly. “Since you’re reluctant to give in, we shall rely on our own abilities. Remember this, the disease will drive humans insane after some time.”

The two gods left after giving this unimportant remark.

“Too bad, they didn’t start a fight.” Sir System commented sheepishly.

“You sure love to watch the world burn, but I agree it’s a shame. Those two gods can’t do anything about Shang Qingshan.” Fang Ning added dejectedly.

“Forget it, you pay him a visit afterward and ask him about those two gods’ keys to reaching illumination. I’m sure he’ll be more than happy to share it with us.” Sir System said happily.

“Hehe, I believe so, too. When you encounter a situation like this that’s full of benefits, Sir, you become very intelligent.” Fang Ning expressed his agreement.

“Hehe, you do understand me.”

“Of course, I’ve been seized by you for several years anyway.”
