Zongman: Is this how it’s sewn?

Chapter 268: 266. Defeat Them One by One, the Oath of Immortal Fire

Xu Zhenqing stood nearby. This was the leadership art that the Umbrella Corporation learned, provoking relationships between subordinates and diverting conflicts.

"I know you're angry with him. I'm not familiar with him, and I can't do the pose you asked me to do."

"Not familiar? Can't do it?" Xia Jiuyou, with red lips and white teeth, snorted coldly, stretched out a snow-white hand, grabbed Xiao Xiao, and wanted to detain him.

Seeing the other party's unscrupulous attack, Xiao Xiao had a struggle in his eyes and wanted to resist, but he finally held back.

Seeing Xia Jiuyou chasing after her relentlessly and staring at her treasure bottle, Xiao Xiao's face suddenly changed, and she was extremely frustrated. She said, "Sister, please stop now. I admit defeat."

"Sister, it would have been better if you had done this earlier." With a flash of light, Xia Jiuyou retracted the dragon energy, raised the corners of his mouth, looked arrogant, and a strange light flashed in his clear eyes.

She felt a little unsatisfied and was very curious about the two people's origins.

That grab just now made Xia Jiuyou feel the breath of the Holy Spirit. He thought to himself, "But such a weak Holy Spirit, could it be born prematurely? Then she hasn't even formed the Sea of ​​Bitterness, could there be a mortal Holy Spirit? Or maybe she is the offspring of the Holy Spirit. No wonder her physique is so strong."

Seeing that the conflict between the two was about to be resolved, Xu Zhenqing said, "You two, let's go see Brother Xu."

Xu Zhenqing felt a little strange when he said this. He was looking for himself. The two women thought to themselves, "That's exactly what I want."

When we arrived at the Demon King Palace, we found that it was surrounded by large formations, forming a small world.

Inside, there are continuous fairy mountains, dragon veins are steaming, various magical flowers and herbs are everywhere, the essence of chaos is like a river hanging from the sky, the mother energy of all things is flowing, and it is shrouded in purple air.

There was a star-filled cushion in the main hall, made from the Thousand Illusions Galaxy Divine Sand. That was where he and I sat. A slightly lazy goddess sat on a fiery red cushion next to us.

He stood up and came to the doorstep to greet him, which surprised Qi Huoshui because the cultivation level of the newcomers was not very high, and he had a defeated opponent.

It seemed like they were old friends meeting. Xu Zhenqing seemed to recall the past and felt a little nostalgic. His attitude was very gentle and he took the initiative to say, "Brother Xu, long time no see."

"Xu Daoyou is friendly."

Xia Jiuyou and Xiao Xiao were very reserved and bowed to salute.

"No need to be so polite." His eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at Xia Jiuyou, and said meaningfully: "Miss Xia, are you here to fulfill your promise?"

Xia Jiuyou's eyes were deep, her hair was flying, her features were stunningly beautiful, and she exuded a heroic spirit. Compared to other women, she was less frail. She spoke directly, "Fellow Daoist Xu, I want to know why you and this fellow Daoist give me such similar feelings."

"I used to think so too. This mysterious Taoist friend, whose origins and purposes are unknown, suddenly appeared." He smiled gently and said, "I still don't know your name, or maybe you have a nickname?"

"I have neglected this. I am Yuanshi." Xu Zhenqing's tone was indifferent. Although he said it with some humble words, the word "Yuanshi" still showed his arrogance, at least in the eyes of Xia Jiuyou and Qi Huoshui.

Qi Qi, holding up her hair, interrupted, "You are so arrogant, fellow Daoist. Not to mention that there were even Heavenly Venerables who used this title in ancient times, even in recent times, anyone who dares to use this title and doesn't get beaten to death is a real talent."

Xia Jiuyou thought to himself that Xu Zhenqing and he and I had completely different personalities: one was humble and polite, the other was arrogant and frivolous.

Sitting in front of the winner, Xia Jiuyou felt very uncomfortable, her pretty face flushed a little, but she had to sit in this seat.

Faced with Qi Huoshui's request, the girl simply couldn't refuse. This was a difference in magnitude.

Xu Zhenqing pretended to take out many treasures, jewels and precious stones, a dazzling array of things. The fact that he could see so many ancient sages was just to make up the numbers and fill the scene. The Emperor's secret techniques, as well as the Emperor's handwritten notes, were also included. The room was magnificent and splendid, with all kinds of saint-level materials.

"Fellow Daoist, what's this?" He seemed very surprised, and so did Qi Huoshui behind him. Although they were an extremely powerful force, they did not have the background of extremely powerful imperial weapons and great emperor scriptures. They could be said to be a very weak force. However, they had also seen many secret treasures, and this was the first time they were so astonished.

Xu Zhenqing said frankly: "I came here to seek the immortal fire."

"How do you know? What is the fairy fire? Isn't it in the fire area?" I pretended to be confused.

Xu Zhenqing's words were slightly humorous: "I went to the depths of the Fire Region to check, and the fairy fire has disappeared. No, that's not quite right. Fairy fire has wings, so it should spread quickly. Although it also has legs, that's the idea anyway."

"Then how do you know that I did it?" I asked him quietly.

Xu Zhenqing spoke at length, "I wasn't entirely sure before, but now I'm completely certain. Firstly, I saw you from afar in the Fire Region, and then Miss Xia's words made me even more certain. You're the descendant or daughter of the Quasi-Emperor. That token is proof of that. In other words, it's quite reasonable for a flame that can burn immortals to death to be taken away by the Quasi-Emperor."

"Then why don't you ask that senior for it, fellow Daoist?" He said with a smile. Xia Jiuyou beside him tried hard to maintain a calm expression so as not to reveal the trace of the fairy fire.

Xu Zhenqing seemed extremely confident: "Just now I was wondering why the Immortal Fire was not in the hands of that Quasi-Emperor. Now I can be sure that the Immortal Fire is in your possession."

In other words, I know the script, otherwise these words would have been refuted. This is probably like shooting the arrow first and then drawing the target.

"How do you know? Are you joking, fellow Daoist?" He chuckled.

Xu Zhenqing looked at Xia Jiuyou and said quietly, "Your expression naturally doesn't reveal anything, but that Miss Xia is showing her fear. With her personality, she knows my weakness and tried to coerce me with words, forcing me to submit. But now she's like this. Quietly, let's just say that."

"Excellent! Fellow Daoist, you relied on your intuition and came here to test it out. In fact, you have actually found it out. So I will tell you the truth. That fairy fire has another use. It concerns the lives of all people, so I'm sorry that I cannot obey your order." He was full of heroic spirit.

Xu Zhenqing said righteously: "Fellow Daoist, you can speak frankly. No matter what happens to the common people, I can also protect them. You can swear an oath again. After the immortal fire is used, it will still be used for the common people."

"Then I'll tell you the truth. That fairy fire was used by my master to deal with the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone. If you take it, how are you going to deal with the Forbidden Zone? Are you going?" Xia Jiuyou said dissatisfiedly.

Xu Zhenqing's expression became serious: "Why not? Since I dare to call myself Yuanshi, I am determined to achieve the throne of Taoism and dominate the world forever."

"Okay, but fellow Daoist, you need to promise that you will return the immortal fire immediately when you need it in the future. After all, the scattered flames of the immortal fire are for the use of all living beings, and we should still do the same after we take them away." He seemed to have made up his mind.

After exchanging the purpose of the fairy fire and Xiao Xiao's physique, he seemed to be more relieved, with an admiring look in his eyes.

Xiao Xiao touched the vase and suddenly felt that Xu Zhenqing was not that annoying. At the same time, he felt that this immortal fire was extremely important and it actually concerned all living beings in this world.

"I, Xiao Xiao, swear that after the Immortal Fire is used, I will also be responsible for all living beings in this world!"

　I’ll add one more and send it during the day.

　　There was a typo in the previous chapter, which has been corrected as it was pointed out by a book friend. It almost made the protagonist a henpecked husband.

　　It's a bit embarrassing, and I apologize again.
