Chapter 628: Chapter 34 Delay_2

His gaze seemed thoughtful:

“Is it you?”

…

Shaoyin Palace.

“How could it come to this! How could it come to this!”

Qu Shentong’s face turned dark.

...

Looking at the expressionless Qi Yan, who had been silent and appeared harmless, he felt his head was about to explode.

Just for a Foundation Establishment competitor, he directly alarmed an Immortal Ascension Elder, and even the Sect Master… Are you freaking crazy?

Couldn’t we just have a proper discussion?

Not only Qu Shentong, but Ma Shengxu, Hu Zaixi, and Cui Daqi were all speechless for a moment.

They only thought about joining forces to pressure Qu Shentong, but who expected this ruthless man to directly upset the Sect Master.

This time, let alone anything else, it seems like they really pissed off the Master of Shao Yin Mountain, Qu Shentong.

If they hadn’t made any mistakes, it would be fine, but if Qu Shentong got any leverage on them…

Qu Shentong looked at the others, finally took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger, speaking coldly:

“Qi Yan, Ma Shengxu, what the hell do you want?”

If it wasn’t for the Dao-asking Conference requiring these bastards to take action, he would have liked to strip their souls from their Nascent Souls and subject them to harsh punishment!

But the key point is that they can’t do without these people for the Dao-asking Conference.

Ma Shengxu hastily said, “We don’t want anything, we just don’t want Wang Ba to take this task.”

“That’s impossible!”

Without a second thought, Qu Shentong flatly refused, “Unless the Sect Master personally orders it, he absolutely cannot be exempted from the task!”

Qi Yan’s face darkened, “Then delay it for sixty years!”

Hearing this, Qu Shentong could not help but burst into laughter from anger, “Why not just delay it by a thousand years, and wait for his Nascent Soul?”

Qi Yan slightly frowned, if this were possible, it would of course be for the best.

But he also knew that the other party was speaking out of anger, and it wouldn’t be taken seriously. He hesitated and said:

“Then how about twenty years?”

Wouldn’t twenty years be enough for Wang Ba to attain his Golden Core phase?

And by then, perhaps the troubles of the West Sea Country might have already been resolved.

However, Qu Shentong rejected again:

“Don’t even think about it, unless the Sect Master approves, I will not change anything!”

Just at this time.

There was a commotion and respectful voices came from outside:

“We greet Elder Du!”

Everyone in the hall was taken aback.

They quickly looked at Qu Shentong.

But at this moment, Qu Shentong felt as if he had been hit over the head with a mace, leaving him feeling dizzy.

“This Qi Yan, he really did call him!”

He had originally held out a glimmer of hope, thinking that Qi Yan might not be so foolish as to make empty threats, but he… he had seriously overestimated him.

Before he had time to think, an old man with grey hair slowly walked in from outside the hall.

As the Master of Shao Yin Mountain, Qu Shentong was the first to step forward and bow:

“Qu Shentong of Shao Yin Mountain greets Elder Du.”

The other cultivators also followed suit, bowing respectfully.

“We greet Elder Du!”

“Hehe, Martial Nephew Qu and all of you, no need for such formalities,”

Elder Du chuckled, and then got straight to the point:

“I came here on behalf of the Sect Master to deliver this item to you.”

With that, he took out a letter from his sleeve.

Qu Shentong was slightly stunned, quickly received the letter with both hands. He opened it and quickly scanned it over.

A hint of shock flashed through his eyes, but he soon let out a sigh of relief.

Looking at Elder Du, he respectfully said, “Thank you, Elder Du. I now understand the Sect Master’s intentions.”

Elder Du slightly nodded, and then said:

“That’s good. Shao Yin Mountain is busy with affairs, I won’t disturb you anymore.”

Qu Shentong was slightly taken aback. Qi Yan, who was on the side, also couldn’t help but show a little surprise and urgency on his face.

He wanted to say something to Elder Du.

However, Elder Du did not even glance at him, simply floated away.

Elder Du came quickly and left just as fast, leaving Qi Yan, Ma Shengxu and others unable to understand what was happening for a while.

Qu Shentong’s face returned to calm. He looked around at everyone and calmly said:

“Just now, the Sect Master sent a message… at the same time that the West Sea Country’s Southern Shoreline was ambushed by Xituo Continent and Tupi Continent, in the Western region of the West Sea Country, Yao Wudi of Wanfa Peak fought off the Ashna Tribe alone, slaying Ashna, the tribe leader who was half a step into the Realm of Immortal Ascension, and then fought Monk King Xin of Xitou Continent to a draw… His fame shakes the Nine Continents!”

The moment this news came out, the whole Hall of Shaoyin Palace became incredibly silent.

All the gazes of everyone present appeared almost daze-like.

Yao Wudi… managed to fight a practitioner of immortality to a standstill?

Are they going crazy?

Is he still at the Nascent Soul stage?

After everyone finally digested this shocking news, Qu Shentong slowly continued:

“In this battle, Yao Wudi was injured and Monk King Xin retreated for the time being… Now, there is one matter related to Yao Wudi that needs to be taken care of.”

“All of you must have guessed it. It is about Wang Ba, the disciple of Master Yao, who was chosen for the patrol task… This matter is simple, but considering the great contribution of Master Yao to the sect, and since he is the only disciple left in Wanfa Peak, it is proposed that the task should be postponed by a month to give Wang Ba sufficient preparation time.”

As soon as his words fell, Ma Shengxu could not help but interject, “A month? Isn’t that too short?”

“Then how long do you want?”

Qu Shentong asked back.

“At least, at least a year, right?”

Ma Shengxu hesitated.

Qu Shentong slightly shook his head, “Brother Ma, you’re joking. In a year’s time, the Southern Shoreline of the West Sea Country will have changed beyond recognition, and his mission will have lost its value.”
