The Quest for Immortality

”Bi Jie, do you really think that because you’re at the Golden Core Middle Stage, I’ll be afraid of you?”

Dan Zhu said solemnly.

These days, Mo Hua has been advising him a lot, helping him understand many previously puzzling issues.

Dan Zhu holds Mo Hua in high respect.

Now that Mo Hua is being ridiculed like this, even with Dan Zhu’s good temper, a shadow of gloom clouds his face.

He is also enveloped in blazing flames, with the Vermilion Bird Feather Robe subtly floating around.

Seeing Dan Zhu looking so aggressive, the black-clad youth from the Bi Fang Tribe is clearly somewhat surprised, his face also somewhat sulky.

On the other side, Mo Hua quickly calculates in his mind, assessing the situation.

The attack on the Shugu Skill Department is undoubtedly led by the Bi Fang Tribe.

At this moment, within the entire valley, there are about one hundred and twenty elite barbarian soldiers from the Bi Fang Tribe, another two hundred from allied tribes, and around three hundred driven barbarian slaves.

The Danque Tribe only has one hundred elite barbarian soldiers. Although the Danque Tribe’s individual soldier strength is stronger, they are at a significant numerical disadvantage.

The Golden Core warriors from the Bi Fang Tribe, Mo Hua extended his Divine Sense to perceive them, estimating there are roughly five of them, with two at the Golden Core Middle Stage and three at the Initial Golden Core Stage.

The Danque Tribe’s Golden Core warriors number only four, and one is an injured person subjected to ”physical punishment” by himself, Elder Ba Shan.

A direct confrontation would be disadvantageous.

Moreover, this black-clad youth named ”Bi Jie” should be the Young Master of the Bi Fang Tribe, boasting a Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivation, with a formidable aura; he appears very challenging.

A gentleman does not seek revenge overnight, though Mo Hua would love to kill him on the spot.

Unfortunately, the conditions do not permit it.

After weighing the pros and cons, Mo Hua looked at Bi Jie and adopted the stance of ”Shaman Lord,” solemnly stating:

”The Divine Lord remembers your offense, and someday, you will be struck down by Divine Punishment, your Divine Soul shattered and perishing.”

Mo Hua’s voice was calm yet deep.

The surrounding air momentarily fell silent, with many people exchanging glances.

The black-clad youth named ”Bi Jie” couldn’t help but sneer.

He is no stranger to threats.

Over the years, he’s acted arrogantly and killed indiscriminately, earning the hatred of countless people who curse him and want him dead.

But never before has he been ”provoked” face-to-face by a ”weakling” of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Bi Jie laughed instead of getting angry:

”A mere Foundation Establishment, a snotty-nosed kid, daring to talk of ’Divine Lord’? Speak of ’Heavenly Punishment’? Even curse me? You’re like a damn fool...”

”In that case,” Bi Jie said grimly, grinning as he declared: ”I’ll kill you first and see if your Divine Lord will come to your rescue...”

Bi Jie reversed his grip and drew a bluish-black mighty blade, engraved with wing patterns, filled with fierce and rampant energy.

The air was filled with black mist, accompanied by the cries of vicious birds.

This blade is Bi Jie’s own Magical Treasure, a heavily murderous barbarian tribe’s fearsome weapon.

With the backing of his Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivation, this Magical Treasure exudes powerful intimidation, its pressure spreading all around.

Dan Zhu’s eyes were heavy, feeling immense pressure.

He is indeed a genius and possesses the Vermilion Bird Feather Robe as a Magic Treasure.

But Bi Jie is also a genius, and his Magical Treasure is likewise extraordinary.

Moreover, Bi Jie is a full cycle older than Dan Zhu and has higher cultivation. All these years, Bi Jie has been fighting and killing for the Bi Fang Tribe, honing his skills through actual combat, and is far more experienced in battle.

A genius is like unpolished jade and still needs grinding.

Dan Zhu’s experience is insufficient.

But Bi Jie has already sharpened his edge.

As Bi Jie’s Bi Fang mighty blade is about to strike Mo Hua...

Dan Zhu’s gaze turns icy.

Mo Hua’s expression remains unchanged.

Just at this moment, Chi Feng, surrounded by Pill Fire, stands in front of Mo Hua and Dan Zhu, locking his intense killing intent firmly on Bi Jie.

Chi Feng is the trusted aide of the Great Chief of the Danque Tribe and a seasoned veteran, experienced and ruthless, not at all weaker than the Bi Fang Tribe’s talented Bi Jie.

Bi Jie may underestimate Dan Zhu, but he won’t overlook Chi Feng.

Pointing with the fiercely murderous Bi Fang blade at Mo Hua, Bi Jie addressed Barbarian General Chi Feng:

”I’m merely swinging the blade to kill this impudent Foundation Establishment kid, not touching anyone from the Danque Tribe. Chi Feng, surely you won’t stop me...”

Chi Feng shook his head, ”No way.”

Bi Jie’s face darkened slightly, he scrutinized Mo Hua, and slowly said: ”If I’m not mistaken, this kid should not belong to your Danque Tribe, correct?”

Chi Feng replied, ”He is a ’guest’ of our Danque Tribe.”

Bi Jie snickered, ”You’re willing to be at odds with my Bi Fang Tribe for this so-called guest?”

A gleam of savagery flickered in Bi Jie’s eyes, ”Hand him over to me, I’ll slash him with one strike, and conflicts can be avoided. Otherwise, if our tribes mix in battle, I can’t say whether your Young Master will be unharmed, how many of your subordinates might die...”

Chi Feng’s gaze was as steadfast as a mountain: ”A ’guest’ of the Danque Tribe is regarded as one of our tribe members.”

”You may have numbers in the Bi Fang Tribe, but if you truly wish to fight the Danque Tribe, it might cost quite a few lives.”

”Even you, Young Master Bi Jie, may not emerge unscathed.”

Chi Feng was neither servile nor overbearing, his Golden Core Power poised to strike.

Bi Jie secretly scoffed, his face sour.

Unreasonably, he could not possibly risk everything with Chi Feng just to vent his anger by killing someone.

After a moment of silence, Bi Jie suddenly asked, ”What is the reason for the Danque Tribe coming here?”

Chi Feng did not speak, instead looking at Dan Zhu.

Dan Zhu then said gravely: ”The purpose of our Danque Tribe’s presence is to rescue the tribe members from small tribes captured by the Shugu Tribe.”

Bi Jie was somewhat surprised, asking: ”Just for this?”

Mo Hua’s eyes flashed slightly.

Dan Zhu also found it somewhat odd and counter-questioned: ”What is the Bi Fang Tribe here for then?”

Bi Jie let out a cold snicker, ”What else? Naturally, for seizing territory.”
