Chapter 0604: Leo Withdraws
After speaking, Livia deliberately or inadvertently glanced at Yi Dehai and Mu Li, who had initially wanted to stay out of it. Yi Dehai and Mu Li sensed the hidden meaning in Livia’s words and suddenly became alert.
They had only thought about avoiding conflict with Tianlong Mountain over the Yellow Dragon, but hadn’t considered what would happen if Leo and his companions joined forces to kill Livia. With no other choice, they stepped forward.
“Guys, if word gets out that you teamed up to attack a weak woman, it won’t look good, will it?” Yi Dehai said solemnly, looking at the Opot family.
Another weak woman!
Seeing Livia urge the Twin Ape Mountain to intervene, Leo grew even angrier. Damn it! He couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
However, if the Twin Ape Mountain got involved too, the three mountains would have to consider the consequences. First, Hibere’s killing intent weakened—seemingly because of the Twin Ape Mountain’s interference. With the Silver Fox Mountain and Twin Ape Mountain united, they now had the strength to confront the three mountains, especially since the Twin Ape Mountain had Yi Dehai and the Mu Li couple, two supreme divine kings.
Although Tianlong Mountain, Fengjin Mountain, and Leipeng Mountain still held a slight advantage—just more elders, or supreme divine warriors in total—they couldn’t surpass the combined power of the other two.
But don’t forget about the Yellow Dragon. With the Silver Fox Mountain, Twin Ape Mountain, and the Yellow Dragon, their strength was already comparable to that of the three mountains.
sensing Hibere’s retreat, Opot frowned and glanced at Livia, Yi Dehai, and Mu Li before fixing his gaze on the Yellow Dragon. After a while, he reluctantly reined in his killing intent.
It seemed impossible to kill the Yellow Dragon now; they would have to look for another chance later. Opot wasn’t convinced that the Silver Fox Mountain and Twin Ape Mountain could protect the Yellow Dragon forever!
Seeing Hibere and Opot both withdraw their killing intent, even though Leo was unwilling and still wanted to kill the Yellow Dragon, he had no choice but to endure like them.
Endure! For a divine king like Leo, it was a humiliation! A complete humiliation!
Though Leo suppressed his killing intent, he inwardly wished to tear the Yellow Dragon to pieces.
“Let’s go!” Hibere’s voice rang out. After saying that, he led the elders of Leipeng Mountain and flew away. Watching Hibere leave, Opot sighed and said, “We should go too!”
With Opot’s words, the elders of Tianlong Mountain had no choice but to obey.
Standing behind Opot, Keller cast a venomous glance at the Yellow Dragon before leaving.
“My Lord Divine King, us?” Wifley was unwilling and wanted to speak up, as were Mori, Darli, and the others. They were afraid—if this Yellow Dragon wasn’t eliminated, would their lives be safe in the future? Just as Opot had determined that Silver Fox Mountain and Twin Monkey Mountain couldn’t protect the Yellow Dragon forever, Mori, Darli, and the others knew that Phoenix Golden Mountain couldn’t protect them forever either. Leo raised his hand to stop Wifley and said, “Let’s go back.” He understood Wifley’s intentions, but since Thunder Dragon Mountain and Thunder Roc Mountain had already withdrawn, it was impossible for him to kill the Yellow Dragon even if he wanted to. Mori, Darli, and the others followed Phoenix Golden Mountain’s group, their faces pale. As they left, they seemed to sense the Yellow Dragon’s murderous gaze fixed on their backs, causing cold sweat to soak through their backs. With Thunder Dragon Mountain, Thunder Roc Mountain, and Phoenix Golden Mountain departing one after another, the stagnant air currents in the surroundings began to move again, easing the tense atmosphere. With a thought, the Yellow Dragon absorbed the Chaos Bell, Qingyun, Thunder Gathering Vessel, and Immortal Slaying Sword into his body, then flew over to stand in front of Livia, Yidehai, and Muli, bowing and saying, “Thank you all for helping me just now!” Although it didn’t really matter to the Yellow Dragon whether Livia, Yidehai, and Muli helped or not, since they had indeed offered assistance, no matter their motives or reasons, he felt obliged to express his gratitude. Livia smiled gracefully, her beautiful eyes shimmering as she said playfully, “Brother Yellow Dragon, why be so formal? Are you planning to offer yourself to me? If so, I wouldn’t mind at all!” The Yellow Dragon hadn’t expected Livia to be so bold and straightforward in such a situation. Even after two lifetimes, he couldn’t help but blush. Meanwhile, the elders from Silver Fox Mountain and Twin Monkey Mountain seemed to ignore Livia’s words, looking around. As for Yidehai and Muli, they exchanged a glance and smiled. They were familiar with Livia’s temperament and found it nothing strange. Seeing the Yellow Dragon express his thanks, they also politely bowed in return. Though they were Divine Kings, they didn’t dare to act as such in front of the Yellow Dragon. After all, they had been forced to side with him this time, opposing the three mountains of Thunder Dragon Mountain. Previously, they had reservations, but now they saw things more clearly. After exchanging polite words with the three, the Yellow Dragon invited everyone to visit the Moore Mountains. Naturally, Livia, Yidehai, and Muli didn’t refuse his invitation. So, led by the Yellow Dragon, the people from Silver Fox Mountain and Twin Monkey Mountain formed a layer of protective energy and headed toward the Moore Mountains.
By this time, Jerome and the others in the Moor Mountains had already scanned the surroundings thoroughly. Earlier, there had been battles between Huang Long, Mori, Wifley, and others, with some activity, but gradually everything fell silent, leaving Jerome, who was maintaining the grand formation to protect the Moor Mountains, extremely anxious. Although he had blind admiration and trust in Huang Long, the latter was one of the Five Supreme Gods! Due to the barrier of the Qi layers, Jerome and the others did not see Leo and Opot appear later. If they had known that Leo, Opot, and the others had also arrived intent on killing Huang Long, even Jerome’s admiration and trust would have made him jump around like a flea. A Supreme God facing a Supreme God King in a mid-tier divine realm was like a Perfect Being facing a Supreme God—wasn’t that seeking death?! “Will the master be alright?!” Warner couldn’t help but worry. With no activity for so long, could the master already be—?! At this thought, Warner became panicked. “I… I suppose not?” Nazhen stammered in response, his voice weak and lacking confidence. Even he no longer believed it. Though they were confident and admired Huang Long, they had only followed him for a little over a year, so their admiration and confidence still had limits, unlike Jerome’s blind faith. “Nonsense! How could the master be in trouble?!” Jerome, who had been pacing back and forth in the great hall, turned around angrily upon hearing this and glared at Warner and the others. “The master will be fine!” Yet even after saying that, he continued to walk back and forth restlessly. “Are you really sure I’ll be fine?” Just as Jerome paced anxiously, a voice came from outside the great hall. Hearing this voice, Jerome, Warner, and the others all cheered and hurried to the front of the hall. As Jerome, Warner, and the others stopped in front of the hall, Huang Long’s figure appeared before them. Seeing Huang Long return safely, they all became excited. “Master!” they exclaimed before kneeling to pay their respects. Huang Long looked at them with a smile and said, “Get up.” Jerome, Warner, and the others stood up respectfully and then noticed Rivia and the others behind Huang Long. Rivia, Yidehai, Muli, Jerome, Warner, and the others had met them at Mount Leipeng, so they were momentarily stunned upon seeing Rivia and the others. Recovering quickly, they stepped forward to pay their respects. Rivia and the two others told Jerome and the others to stand up, then everyone entered the hall. Following Huang Long and the others, Jerome wondered why the troublemakers from Silver Fox Mountain and those monkeys from Double Monkey Mountain were also here.
Yi Dehai and Mu Li had no idea what Jerome was thinking. If they had known that Jerome regarded the people from Twin Ape Mountain as monkeys, their expressions must have been quite interesting.
Everyone took their seats according to rank—Huang Long, Rivia, and the other two sat together in the middle of the hall, while Jerome and his group sat on the left, and the elders from Silver Fox Mountain and Twin Ape Mountain sat on the right.
After sitting down, Huang Long thanked Rivia and the other two again, saying, “This time, it’s thanks to you three. Here’s a small token of my gratitude.” With that, a flash of light appeared, and a Green Dragon Great Sword, a Fiendly Sword, and a Frosty Spear materialized in the air above the hall.
“Holy King Spiritual Treasures!” Seeing these three divine weapons, Rivia, Yi Dehai, Mu Li, and the others, who had been calm before, immediately changed their expressions and exclaimed in shock. The elders from Silver Fox Mountain and Twin Ape Mountain were even more excited.
These three Post-Human Spiritual Treasures were precisely the three that Huang Long had crafted during the Lei Peng Mountain Weapon-Forging Competition.
With a thought, Huang Long sent the three Holy King Spiritual Treasures to Rivia, Yi Dehai, and Mu Li. As they caught them, their excitement grew even more.
For Huang Long, these treasures meant little, but for Rivia and the others, they were invaluable. Although Silver Fox Mountain and Twin Ape Mountain also had Holy King Spiritual Treasures, each only had one.
Yi Dehai and Mu Li held their Holy King Spiritual Treasures, exchanged glances, and tried to calm their excitement. Hadn’t they acted before precisely for Huang Long’s treasures? And now, not just one, but two! However, they were surprised that Huang Long had given them these so easily and felt a bit guilty.
Thinking back, they hadn’t done much themselves—just expressed their stance at the end, and that was out of necessity for Twin Ape Mountain’s interests.
The hall fell silent for a moment.
“Giggle, Brother Huang Long, I’ll take this Holy King Spiritual Treasure,” Rivia said with a giggle after a while. “It seems this deal is profitable. With just one move, I got a Holy King Spiritual Treasure. If this continues, I’ll make more moves in the future.”
Mu Li added with a smile, “Exactly. Rivia is right. Brother Huang Long, if there are more such opportunities in the future, even if we’re not asked, we won’t refuse.”
Yi Dehai also said, “That’s right!”
Huang Long smiled upon hearing this and said, “Hehe, then please don’t delay when you need our help in the future.”
Everyone laughed, and the hall was filled with harmony.
