The Quest for Immortality

Chi Feng stood still, secretly protecting Dan Zhu with the aura of the Golden Core Middle Stage.

Dan Zhu appeared cold and stern.

Bi Jie’s eyes flickered as he said, ”What? Does your Danque Tribe really want to go to war with my Bi Fang Tribe?”

Dan Zhu calmly replied, ”I’ve said it before, our Danque Tribe only wants to save people.”

Bi Jie turned around and glanced at the Stone Palace behind him, ”Are you saying that members of your Danque Tribe are also in this Stone Palace?”

Dan Zhu said, ”This is the Shugu Skill Department, we’ve searched everywhere else and found nothing. The only place we haven’t searched yet is this Stone Palace.”

Bi Jie suddenly understood and sneered coldly, saying:

”I get it now, your Danque Tribe is intentionally causing trouble. Rescuing people is just a pretense, your actual goal is to enter this Stone Palace, isn’t it? Otherwise, would the lives of a mere hundred or two low-ranking tribesmen be worth such a grand rescue?”

Dan Zhu felt it was impossible to communicate with Bi Jie.

Beside him, Elder Ba Shan snorted coldly, ”Our Danque Tribe is not like your callous Bi Fang Tribe, indifferent to the fate of its own people.”

Bi Jie pointed his vicious blade at Ba Shan, his gaze sinister and disdainful, ”Where did this dog come from? I’m talking to your master, and you think you can interrupt?”

Elder Ba Shan chuckled coldly, ”A person like you is not worthy of being compared to our Young Master. If it weren’t for the fact that you had a head start of thirty or forty years and luckily reached the Golden Core Middle Stage, you wouldn’t even be qualified to carry our Young Master’s shoes!”

”You put black feathers on and think you’re a bird? With a bird pattern on your chest, you really think you’re a birdman? I think you’re just a mongrel with stray feathers from a mongrel dad...”

These words were vicious, silencing the surrounding crowd.

Bi Jie bared his teeth, furious, his vision darkening, his head buzzing.

After Ba Shan Elder finished cursing, his hands secretly trembled a little, and he turned his head stealthily to glance at Mo Hua.

These words were not his own intention.

Moreover, he couldn’t come up with such roundabout and ”vicious” insults.

All these words were taught to him by the Shaman, to be hurled as insults.

He was merely the ”mouthpiece” of the Shaman.

Without the Shaman’s ”direction,” he wouldn’t dare insult another tribe’s Young Master with such vicious words, no matter how brave he was.

So, after cursing, Elder Ba Shan felt very apprehensive.

Mo Hua nodded to Ba Shan, indicating that he did well and shouldn’t worry.

Only then did Elder Ba Shan secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

These words were originally what Mo Hua wanted to say himself.

Unfortunately, currently being the ”Shaman,” he had to consider his status and the dignity of the Divine Lord, refraining from casually spitting out crude language, so as not to affect his ”dignified and benevolent” image in the Danque Tribe, especially in Dan Zhu’s eyes.

Otherwise, he would have personally insulted Bi Jie to the point of incapacity in life.

Elder Yu’s expertise in insults was not learned in vain.

And even though Mo Hua didn’t personally utter a word, Bi Jie was still infuriated.

His face lost all semblance of a smile, even the sneer and sarcasm vanished.

He was a genius of the Bi Fang Tribe, though not as famous as Dan Zhu, he had solid achievements in battle and had never been insulted like this before.

Bi Jie immediately activated the vicious blade in his hand—the Bi Fang Tribe’s treasured ”Bi Fang Black Evil Saber,” intending to leverage his Realm advantage and the power of the magic treasure to cut through and kill into the Vermilion Bird Division, decapitating Ba Shan first, and then take the opportunity to kill Dan Zhu.

Moreover, at this moment, there was conveniently an ”opening” in front of the Danque Tribe’s formation.

This ”opening” was precisely where Dan Zhu stood.

Based on his experience, Bi Jie could judge.

With his cultivation and bravery, he could tear open this opening and charge through from the Danque barbarian soldiers’ lineup.

Chi Feng’s position was quite loose, unable to fully protect Dan Zhu.

If he struck faster than Chi Feng, the Bi Fang Black Evil Saber could hit Dan Zhu.

Under the pressure of cultivation, Dan Zhu’s Vermilion Bird Feather Robe couldn’t possibly withstand his Bi Fang Black Evil Saber.

Or, he could feign an attack on his guard Elder, draw fire, and then strike Dan Zhu from the side. That would also be a good strategy.

Bi Jie, ever shrewd and courageous, always had the eye to spot opportunities and the ability to seize them.

Therefore, as soon as the Danque Tribe’s formation showed this small flaw, he firmly caught it.

Bi Jie hardly hesitated before planning to take action.

But at this moment, an Elder from the Bi Fang Tribe next to him gently tugged on his sleeve.

Bi Jie, annoyed, was just about to flare up when he turned his head and saw a pair of calm, gray eyes.

”Young Master, calm down.”

Bi Jie immediately calmed down.

His anger subsided, and his rationality gradually returned.

As he looked again at the Danque Tribe’s barbarian soldiers’ formation and at Dan Zhu’s position, a chill gradually rose in his heart.

This was a trap.

Although the defenses around Dan Zhu were sparse with many flaws, this ”flaw” was intentionally left.

Once someone mistook it for a ”flaw,” charging in would instead lead to being encircled by Danque Tribe, and the result would be perilous.

”First provocation and insults to anger me, then leaving a flaw to lure me into action. Once I aggressively seize this ’opportunity,’ it would actually be their trap... They even calculated my temperament...”

Bi Jie felt a chill on his back, looked at Dan Zhu with dark eyes, and thought angrily:

”This Dan Zhu, with such an innocent facade, I didn’t expect him to be so sinister and calculating, almost fooled by him...”

Blending into the crowd, Mo Hua felt a bit regretful upon seeing Bi Jie’s realization.

This Bi Jie was indeed a formidable character; it would have been easier to deal with him sooner.
