Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 762 – Depending On Your Own Ability

There were both truths and lies mixed into his words. But for someone like the Radiance Temple Master, spewing out a mouthful of words wasn’t going to work.

Bei Qing cursed inwardly. If she didn’t have other information channels then she might have been fooled. They actually wanted to use their soon-to-die dark star ice serpent as a negotiating tool?

She faintly smiled and said in a soft voice, “I really must apologize. My Radiance Temple’s phoenix luan has just grasped a turning point in reaching the next level, and it needs some time to complete the breakthrough. So, we cannot yield the Time Mystic Realm to you. I hope that Sect Master Hu Fu can find another way.

“Moreover, although the Time Mystic Realm is isolated from the outside world and it won’t come under influence, I hope that the Hidden Fog Sect can leave this place as soon as possible. Otherwise if some kind of problem occurs with the phoenix luan’s advancement, I fear the reasons why will be unclear.”

This was a direct rejection without any leeway.

Hu Fu paled.

Where in the world was he going to find another place with the power of time? This was the only known location!

Even if there was somewhere else, how could they find it in a short two days?

As expected, these hateful old hags were doing this on purpose. How despicable! The lack of time to concentrate the medication was a sudden emergency that developed out of nowhere. It was impossible for them to learn this ahead of time.

Could the Hidden Fog Sect really be destined to be unable to rid themselves of their shackles no matter how much they struggled?

A cold chill ran through the Hidden Fog Sect Master’s heart.

“Haha, you are both masters of the seven great sects and share a deep connection with each other, so what problems are there that cannot be resolved? Just try your best to explain yourselves so that there aren’t any conflicts.” The Shadow Clan’s Elder One Eye smiled as he walked in, though he was shouting inwardly.

These bastards, why were they fighting in front of the Shadow Clan’s dwelling? If this were the outside, then these dogs could bite and wrestle with each other as much as they wanted and he wouldn’t even bat an eyelash!

No one answered. The atmosphere was filled with a tense awkwardness.

The Hidden Fog Sect could not retreat. The Time Mystic Realm was their final opportunity. If they missed out on this chance then the dark star ice serpent wouldn’t be treated and they would be defeated.

Radiance Temple had learned enough to know about the general situation but not the specifics. They also knew that for this pack of salted fish, the Time Mystic Realm was the last turning point for them to stand back up. They certainly wouldn’t make any concessions.

Sacrificing themselves to help others? Impossible!

The Shadow Clan’s Elder One Eye: ….

Blue veins leapt out on his forehead and a smile twisted his face. These two sides were both bastards. They were absolutely trying to publicly embarrass him.

Endure it, I must endure it!

The Shadow Clan was able to peacefully and steadily live beneath the seven great sects for all these years. Besides their outstanding strength, their ability to endure the unendurable was also an important reason.

Elder One Eye was originally a man with a violent and short temper. But if he could become a crucial great figure in the Shadow Clan, he naturally possessed an astonishing ability to endure.

He pinched his thigh and fiercely twisted it. The pain raced through his mind and cleared his thoughts. Elder One Eye let out a breath of cold air and immediately felt that he was clear-headed.

“Cough cough! In truth, fellow daoists from the Hidden Fog Sect shouldn’t lose your temper. After all, there is a first come first serve basis here.”

Shua –

The Hidden Fog Sect side glared angrily!

Hum hum ~

The beautiful women from Radiance Temple watched through laughing eyes.

Elder One Eye said, “Of course, as an Elder of the Shadow Clan, I will hold a neutral position and won’t be partial to any side.”

It is all the fault of these bastards, these bastards!

“According to the years of research that our Shadow Clan has conducted on the Time Mystic Realm’s altar, it is very selective regarding the offerings it receives.

“Simply put, the altar has a basic spiritual consciousness that can identify and choose items it needs more.”

Hu Fu’s eyes brightened. “Elder One Eye is saying that our Hidden Fog Sect can resend our offering, and if it is of sufficient quality we can obtain the right to use the Time Mystic Realm?”

The Radiant Temple Master’s eyes were like arrows. The smiles from the women behind her had vanished.

Elder One Eye pretended not to see them. “This might be true, but my Shadow Clan has never tried it before, so I cannot guarantee if it will work.”

He needed to break this current stalemate. He really couldn’t allow these two sides to brutally attack each other inside the Shadow Clan.

Now he had given them a solution. If the Hidden Fog Sect couldn’t obtain the rights to use the mystic realm, that was because they were too poor and unworthy. Or if they were to succeed, that would be Radiance Temple’s fault and would have nothing to do with the Shadow Clan.

Cleanly and easily, he pulled the Shadow Clan from the fray.

The surrounding worried and anxious Shadow Clan cultivators all looked at Elder One Eye with praise and acclaim in their hearts. He was truly worthy of being an Elder level character. Not only was his cultivation formidable, his quick thinking was equally astonishing!

“Good!” Hu Fu shouted out, “We will immediately offer our sacrifice!”

This time, even if the entire Hidden Fog Sect had to be emptied out and every single one of them turned into beggars, they would succeed!

The Radiance Temple Master shouted out, “Stop!”

Her eyes flashed with electricity and her aura rose. “My sect’s phoenix luan spirit beast is in a state of advancing right now and it absolutely cannot be disturbed. Anyone who tries to ruin this will be the never-resting archenemy of my Radiance Temple!

These salted fish from the Hidden Fog Sect could forget ever being able to stand back up!

Hu Fu stepped forward in sharp opposition. “Is that so? Then I guess I must personally see what amazing methods Radiance Temple has to stop me!”

This time, let alone a mere Radiance Temple, even if it was the terrifying power that was the Western Tomb Divine Church, he still wouldn’t hesitate at all.

If gods blocked his way he would kill gods. If buddhas blocked his way he would slay buddhas!

The Hidden Fog Sect cultivators were all startled. They looked at the Sect Master’s back as if they were truly seeing him for the first time today.

So their Lord Sect Master was such a mesmerizing and charismatically tyrannical man!

A fight was about to break out at any moment.

Elder One Eye was dumbfounded. In the blink of an eye, how could the Hidden Fog Sect and Radiance Temple resent each other even more? And looking at the way things were going, it was even more horrifying than before. It was clear that just a small spark would cause a heaven-shaking war to erupt.

Shua –

A beam of light howled in from the distance. It dispersed to reveal the Shadow Clan Patriarch. A boundless aura erupted from his body and his eyes were as deep as a prison. “Sect Master Hu Fu, Temple Master Bei Qing, the Shadow Clan regards both of you as honored guests and has always treated you with courtesy and care, and this is how you return the favor?”

His voice became increasingly low and deep, thunder resounding within it. “If the Shadow Clan’s forbearance and respect is only returned with such contempt and rudeness, then I ask you both to take your followers and leave, otherwise you will become the enemies of my Shadow Clan!”

The Hidden Fog Sect and Radiance Temple people were all stunned. They revealed embarrassed expressions.

This sight caused the panicking Shadow Clan cultivators to let out a breath of relief. Then, they couldn’t help but secretly sigh in admiration. No wonder their Patriarch was the Patriarch. Compared to Elder One Eye who was just playing around and slapping his own butt, they were on completely different levels. It was no surprise that Elder One Eye was still just an Elder!

The disparity was obvious!

Hu Fu and Bei Qing were both silent.

In this critical moment, neither of them wanted to incite hatred with the Shadow Clan that controlled this mystic realm.

The Shadow Clan Patriarch landed on the ground and his aura was slowly restrained. “The altar is right here. If you wish to use it, then that will depend on your own abilities. The Shadow Clan will not interfere.”

He tossed out the previous solution again. No matter what, the Shadow Clan didn’t want to be involved in this matter.

Hu Fu cupped his hands together. “Just now, it was indeed my Hidden Fog Sect that was impolite. I ask the Patriarch to forgive us if there was any offense.” He looked at Bei Qing, “Everything shall be as the Patriarch says!”

The Radiance Temple Master clenched her teeth, “Fine!”

She sneered inwardly. In terms of wealth and resources, Radiance Temple didn’t fear anyone.

As for today’s losses…as long as she could take the position of leader, what did it count as? She could naturally find ways to make up for it.

Hum hum!

Hidden Fog Sect, you are the ones courting death today! I will mark down this account first and slowly settle it with you later!

The Shadow Clan Patriarch lifted a hand and thrust at the air in front of him. Spatial fluctuations rippled as a portal appeared. “Everyone, please enter.”
