Qu Ru Ge knew that if Innocent had really encountered any trouble, Feng Yikong would not be standing behind Zuo Dao. This was a matter of trust, a trust within the Seven Disciples. The situation regarding Innocent was concerning, and Five Sons was currently unreachable. However, upon seeing Feng Yikong, Qu Ru Ge felt assured that Innocent was definitely alive.
"Young Master, what are you thinking?" Qu Ru Ge asked as he sat down, looking at Zuo Dao.
"How about we discuss a business deal?" Zuo Dao set down his wine cup and shifted into a more comfortable position. "It's a fair deal, very fair."
"Go ahead," Qu Ru Ge replied without further ado. He was curious about what this lord intended to do.
"First, you all withdraw from the Seven Disciples, and I will find someone else. Second, you continue with your identities as Seven Disciples, and Innocent is handed over to me. It's that simple." He seemed to recall something else. "Innocent voluntarily withdrew from the Seven Disciples at the cost of losing all cultivation and becoming an ordinary person."
After Zuo Dao finished speaking, Qu Ru Ge understood that Innocent was not in danger of losing his life. Among the Seven Disciples, only Innocent had such determination; he could let go of his worries.
"The Seven Disciples are indeed beneficial to us, even if we sometimes don't want to admit it," he pondered for a moment. "Your deal is quite fair, so fair that you might be at a disadvantage. This current lord has quite the audacity. I assume it's not just Innocent who has to pay a price; as the lord, you must also incur some losses."
"You are quite clever. As the lord, I do have losses this time, but not as much as you think," Zuo Dao began to feel a headache coming on from this White-Clad Monk in front of him—seeing things clearly and acting steadily. Fortunately, he guessed wrong about the outcome.
"In order to save Innocent's life, I severed one hundred years from my lifespan."
"What?" Qu Ru Ge stood up abruptly. One hundred years of lifespan? Even they as Golden Core Cultivators could not afford such a loss.
"And my one hundred years of lifespan cannot be wasted; since Innocent is out of the question, the only remaining option is to seek repayment from you." Playing with me? If I don't take you down, then I wouldn't deserve to be called one of the Four Outstanding Youths.
Qu Ru Ge quickly grasped the situation. He had heard that Zuo Dao had once severed his own cultivation at Mount Hua Immortal Gate; if it were an ordinary cultivator, they would have perished long ago. Yet Zuo Dao grew stronger with each severance and even ensnared dozens of Nascent Souls afterward. Since Zuo Dao claimed Innocent was fine, it must be true. The Wudao Order leader had no need to lie in front of the Seven Disciples.
"On behalf of us all, I thank the lord for his great favor towards Innocent," Qu Ru Ge said clearly. Since the other party had granted such a significant benefit to Innocent, there was no reason not to express gratitude.
"There's no need to thank me. Let's discuss the business at hand!" Zuo Dao waved his hand dismissively. "You don't need to worry about Innocent for now; his ideas don't fit this world. He'll understand this once he loses everything, though it may be cruel, it's the only way. Perhaps this is the best method."
The tense atmosphere in the Valley dissipated. At that moment, Feng Yikong walked over to Qu Ru Ge's side, and Shan Shan smiled.
"Brother Qu, the young master won't harm Innocent; you all know that this might be his great opportunity. The young master is not an ordinary person."
"Fengzi, it's only been a short while, and you're already speaking up for your lord?" Do Not Delay still felt a bit unconvinced but was envious of the Five Mountains Suppression.
"What's wrong? Do you have any objections? If you're not satisfied, we can practice," Feng Yikong said, slightly intimidated by Qu Ru Ge, whom he regarded as an elder brother. However, he spoke to Do Not Delay as if he were a younger sibling, without holding back.
"Practicing isn't a bad idea; Fengzi, why don't you spar with this big guy? Just remember not to go too hard," Zuo Dao suddenly thought of a good idea as he watched the scene unfold.
Qu Ru Ge glanced at Zuo Dao with deep meaning. Ever since Zuo Dao had countered Do Not Delay using the Five Mountains Suppression technique, Qu Ru Ge had taken a keen interest. He was also curious about what benefits Fengzi had gained under this new lord. With both Feng and Mo having considerable cultivation levels, Zuo Dao's words indicated his confidence in Fengzi. Qu Ru Ge's curiosity about this new lord grew stronger.
"Mozi, why don't you spar with Fengzi?" With Qu Ru Ge's words, Do Not Delay immediately stepped forward.
"Death Wind Child, let me see what confidence you have that allows your lord to speak like that. Zhenyue." The same treasures and techniques were now wielded by Do Not Delay, but with new variations.
"They're all talented individuals," Zuo Dao noted silently.
"With that mud-made thing of yours, how can you even show your face?" Feng Yikong retorted without holding back. Both were Earth Element Cultivators; their clash was akin to mountains colliding with peaks. The earth element spiritual energy surged through the area, tinting even the flowers and trees with a layer of yellow.
The two individuals' Realm had reached a level where they could influence the environment, but Qu Ru Ge could see that Feng Yikong was still holding back, while Do Not Delay was using all of his strength.
Do Not Delay's "Zhenyue" continuously collided with the mountain-shaped energy formed by Feng Yikong's spiritual power. He was determined to break through the opponent's "Spirit Mountain" with sheer force.
A dull sound of impact echoed in the air, and with each collision, fragments of stone could be seen falling between the two.
"Spiritual power has materialized!?" Qu Ru Ge could no longer maintain his previous calmness. He stood up, and Shallow Into Night, White-Haired Sorrow, and You Do Not See also rose to their feet.
"This is impossible." Qu Ru Ge's voice began to tremble without him realizing it.
"There is nothing impossible." Zuo Dao replied lightly. "For me, everything is possible."
"How did you make Fengzi achieve this?"
"Do you think I would tell you? Just watch closely; there's even more exciting action to come. However, I don't think that big guy can hold out much longer. If any of you want to join in, feel free; there's no harm in going together." Zuo Dao took a sip of wine, relishing the effect he desired—actions spoke louder than words.
The remaining four exchanged glances, and Shallow Into Night said, "I'll go." With that, he spread his sword wings and charged into the Battle Formation.
"Good timing." At this moment, most of Feng Yikong's Mind was elsewhere. Seeing Shallow Into Night rush in, he acknowledged him. The route of his internal spiritual power shifted.
Xuanwu Town Stabilization.
This skill was derived from the Fifth-Stage Spell "Earthshatter," yet it differed from the Fifth-Stage Spell. It was a brand-new skill imbued with divinity by Zuo Dao, marking the second mixed Spell that Feng Yikong had acquired.
As soon as he entered the Battle Formation, he noticed that the mountain-like shape formed by spiritual energy in the sky suddenly transformed into a mystical beast resembling a Black Tortoise. With a sweep of its limbs, it pulled him and Do Not Delay together.
“Supreme Clarity Technique. Sword Out. – Sword Star.” His keen battle instincts allowed him to make the right judgment in an instant, and the sword wings transformed into countless Dao Sword light streams, piercing towards the shapeshifted Black Tortoise like shooting stars.
The sound of intense strikes echoed, accompanied by the roar of the Black Tortoise. The entire battlefield seemed to subtly hint at signs of a mine or quarry with that one roar.
“How is this possible?” Aside from Zuo Dao's side, Qu Ru Ge and the others were completely petrified.
Mud Horse, this is going against the natural order. Spiritual energy materialization is one thing; we can accept that. You shapeshifting is also acceptable, but what is this now? Something manifested from Spirit Energy can actually shatter space with a single roar!
It must be an illusion; it has to be an illusion. Qu Ru Ge shook his head, thinking that perhaps he had been too worried about Innocent lately. The relentless journey had worn him down mentally, leading to this hallucination—it must be that.
But while eyes can deceive, why does his Spiritual Awareness still perceive the existence of this Black Tortoise?
Do Not Delay's Zhenyue let out a mournful cry as the manifested Black Tortoise appeared.
“Damn it, level suppression!!!” Qu Ru Ge was on the verge of losing control. Even if someone told him that all of this was just an illusion, he wouldn’t believe it.
This was the truth—undeniable and unquestionable.
