A moment later, a large group of people finally appeared in front of the Heartrest Palace.

Judging from their clothes, these people should be split into two groups.

Each one of them was vicious, and each of their expressions exuded an untamed aura. Their entire bodies were filled with the aura of bandits, and their eyes were fierce. Just one look at them would cause others to feel a sense of disgust.

It was obvious that this group of people belonged to the Black Wind Stronghold.

The other was a man in a long green robe, carrying a long sword on his back, his sword-like eyebrows were cold and fierce, and all of them looked like sharp blades that could be released at any moment.

With a glance, Chen Feng immediately understood.

The leaders of these two forces were actually all Nascent Soul stage experts.

"To think that both the Black Wind Stronghold and the Immortal Cloud Sect have come together. What exactly is going on?" Xie Ji was secretly shocked, but her face did not reveal the slightest bit of shock. She raised her voice and said, "Is that senior brother Wu Cheng from the Immortal Cloud Sect?"

The person in the lead among the azure-dressed forces cupped his fists towards Xie Ji in a friendly manner, "Junior Sister Xie, it's Wu Cheng."

Speaking of which, the Bi-Luo Peak was a branch of the Immortal Cloud Sect. As the Peak Master of the Bi-Luo Peak, its status was no lower than the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators of the Immortal Cloud Sect.

"Senior, there are tens of thousands of opportunities every day. I wonder, why have you come here today?" She didn't show any emotion on her face.

"Junior Sister Xie, I came here this time to make peace." Wu Cheng's face was plastered with a smile, but there was a hint of anger in the depths of his smile, "You, Bi Luo Feng, have caused a huge mess this time. You actually killed so many Black Wind Stronghold disciples, and even the alchemist Elder Shen."

"If not for my Immortal Cloud Sect's head senior brother, your entire clan would have been wiped out long ago. This time, I have come with Senior Brother Black Dragon from Black Wind Stronghold to discuss the matter of compensation. "

Wu Cheng's words caused Xie Ji's expression to turn cold.

Negotiate? Or did he not help the Black Wind Stronghold to oppress Jade Net Peak?

However, after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, Xie Ji's mental state had improved by quite a bit. Although she was furious, she did not show it on her face. She looked at the leader of Black Wind Stronghold. This person had a fierce-looking face and a sturdy build. His pair of bean-like eyes were filled with an ominous glint. At a glance, he seemed to be an evil spirit descending.

"I wonder what Senior Brother Black Dragon's opinion is?" Xie Ji raised her voice and asked in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing.

The Black Dragon's cold gaze swept across the group of people from Jade Net Peak, its green eyes revealing no signs of malice or greed. Finally, he pointed at Bai Muxue, who was quietly standing behind Xie Ji, and said, "If you want to make up for your sins, then make this little girl my Black Wind Stronghold's wife."

After saying this, the auras of the Jade Net Peak disciples suddenly became icy cold. To think that the Black Wind Stronghold still had this goal.

The black dragon did not seem to care about the enmity of the female disciples. He continued, "The second condition is that all of the female disciples must sign a master-slave contract with me and become my slave!"

"Impossible!" All the girls said in unison. Their hearts were filled with an intense unease. Xie Ji's expression turned icy. If it weren't for the presence of Immortal Cloud Sect's Wu Cheng, he would have probably pulled out his saber and attacked.

The Black Dragon seemed to enjoy the stares of the girls, and said once again, "The third condition, is that the spirit vein of Jade Net Peak belongs to our Black Wind Stronghold!"

Xie Ji looked at the Black Dragon's natural attitude and could not help but look at Wu Cheng. She said in an unfriendly tone, "Senior brother Wu Cheng, does the Immortal Cloud Sect really allow the Black Wind Stronghold to raise these conditions?"

When Wu Cheng heard this, his expression turned cold. "Junior Sister Xie, what do you mean by this? If it wasn't for the Immortal Cloud Sect, Bi Luo Peak would have long since been exterminated! Now, the Black Wind Stronghold is giving you a chance to live. Not only are you not thankful, you even want to blame the Immortal Cloud Sect?

"Hahaha, as expected of the big sects, they actually sent people from the same sect as him to bully us. What a great Immortal Cloud Sect, great!" Xie Ji let out a long laugh, her black hair fluttering in the wind as a strong aura gushed out, "Since all of you want to destroy the foundation of my Jade Net Peak, then I can only fight you to the death!"

"What? He actually broke through?" Wu Cheng and Black Dragon were shocked at the same time. The contempt in their eyes was instantly retracted.

A Nascent Soul Stage cultivator was not someone that anyone could easily deal with.

"Congratulations to Junior Sister for forming her Nascent Soul. Our Immortal Cloud Sect has gained another Nascent Soul cultivator. This is truly a cause for celebration." The expression on Wu Cheng's face changed rapidly and finally became a mess of friendliness, "The condition of the Black Wind Stronghold is indeed a little excessive this time. The Immortal Cloud Sect will definitely fight with them until the end!"

"Little one!" Wu Cheng's words caused all the disciples to grit their teeth in hatred, and they had long since paid their respects to his eighteen generations of ancestors in their hearts.

Only Chen Feng was not the least bit surprised as he stood at the side and watched everything in the arena with a cold gaze.

In the world of cultivation, this was the case. As long as one had sufficient strength, even if one had drawn their blade from the previous moment, the next moment would become as intimate as a brother that one would not see for many years. Xie Ji's Nascent Soul strength was still enough to make them take her seriously.

"Wu Cheng, what do you mean by this?" The Black Dragon's gaze immediately turned cold as he asked with a frown.

"I don't mean anything. Bi Luo Peak is a branch of my Immortal Cloud Sect. How can I just watch as they bully me?" Wu Cheng said righteously. If it wasn't for the fact that everyone had seen Wu Cheng's attitude before, they would have thought that he was a man with a strong sense of justice.

"You … Wu Cheng, you are shameless and despicable! " The Black Dragon was so angry that it was on the verge of vomiting blood.

Wu Cheng frowned and said unhappily to the black dragon, "Black Dragon, please do not behave so atrociously. Look at today's situation, do you think my Immortal Cloud Sect will be afraid of you if we were to fight?"

Wu Cheng's words allowed the Black Dragon to calm down. He also understood that the most important thing for a sect was to strengthen itself. Now that the Bi-Luo Peak had a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, it was enough to allow the Immortal Cloud Sect to improve even further. The Immortal Cloud Sect naturally had to protect the Bi-Luo Peak.

Immediately, the Black Dragon's beady eyes rolled around and finally said coldly: "It's not impossible to change the conditions, but I must take the spirit vein. If you don't agree to this condition, then let's not talk about it anymore, let's fight to the death!"

With that, the Black Dragon's true essence fiercely surged. Its Nascent Soul strength was revealed without any concealment.

"Junior Sister Xie, what do you think?" Wu Cheng looked at Xie Ji, who was standing to the side with cold eyes, and asked for her opinion.

At this moment, Xie Ji was also hesitating. With Wu Cheng's declaration, she knew that the difficulty of Bi Luo Feng had passed. However, the Black Wind Stronghold's demand for spirit veins made her very hesitant.

The Spiritual Pulse was the foundation of a sect. It was the greatest reliance for a sect's disciples to cultivate. If the Spiritual Pulse was truly taken away, it would mean that the foundation of Jade Net Peak had been moved. For this reason, she would never agree.

However, when she thought of the dozens of disciples behind her, she felt conflicted. If she really had a falling out with the Black Wind Stronghold, even if he could guarantee that nothing would happen, what about her disciples?

Just as Xie Ji was hesitating, Wu Cheng's voice rang out in her mind, "Junior Sister Xie, promise him. The Immortal Cloud Sect will compensate you regarding the issue of the Spiritual Pulse."

After receiving Wu Cheng's reply, Xie Ji finally nodded her head, "Alright, I agree!"
