Chapter 3779: Forceful Invitation
“The million supreme grade immortal crystals are yours. From now onwards, the tip of the sword in your hand is mine. Do you understand?” Xishan Yue said with a demanding tone. He did not give Jing Feng any room for discussion.
Jing Feng was troubled. He did not know how to reject this young master of the Xishan clan without offending him, but Jing Mumu did not consider as many things as him. She directly rejected him. “We’re not selling the tip of the sword.”
Jing Mumu’s voice was slightly fearful. She did not see Xishan Yue’s gaze gradually turn cold. She lowered her head and thought about it before adding, “Moreover, we aren’t lacking a million supreme grade immortal crystals. If you don’t believe me, I can show you.”
With that, Jing Mumu opened her Space Ring, and a tremendous amount of supreme grade immortal crystals poured out like a flood. In the blink of an eye, it crossed a million in number.
“Heavens, this girlie actually has so many immortal crystals on her…”
“And they’re all supreme grade immortal crystals, not a single one lower in quality than that. That is probably no less than ten million.”
Cries rang out in the surroundings. Many of the cultivators’ eyes burned with temptation and greed.
Xishan Yue’s face became more and more sunken. He had taken out a million supreme grade immortal crystals extremely extravagantly, yet Jing Mumu had produced over ten million in the blink of an eye. Such action was no different from naked provocation.
Captain Xue Feng who stood on the side was dumbstruck as well. He never imagined this girl from the Falling Cloud City was actually so wealthy.
“We’re in big trouble now.” Jing Feng’s heart sank. He racked his brains as he tried to come up with a way to avoid offending this first young master of the Xishan clan. Now, she had done it. His beloved granddaughter had directly begun fueling the flames.
“You’re biting off more than you can chew.” Xishan Yue’s voice was frigid.
“Young master Yue, this ignorant person should have her face slapped. Please let me punish this woman.” One of the beautiful attendants by Xishan Yue’s side spoke up. She looked towards Jing Mumu in complete coldness.
Xishan Yue nodded.
After receiving permission, the female attendant moved to take action when an old man suddenly appeared beside Xishan Yue. He arrived silently like he had teleported there. However, he stared straight at Jing Mumu with his sombre eyes as if he was trying to see through her completely.
“Third grandfather, what brings you here?” When he saw the old man, Xishan Yue’s face changed, and he immediately became respectful. As for the attendant who wanted to slap Jing Mumu, she subconsciously stopped what she was trying to do as well.
The old man was called Xishan Yanlie. He was a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch, and he was one of the few great elders of the Xishan clan. He possessed great status and authority.
“This girlie actually has the Sword Immortal constitution. If she’s properly nurtured, she’s a promising seedling that can definitely become an Immortal Monarch.” Xishan Yanlie stared straight at Jing Mumu, and his eyes shone brighter and brighter.
“What? She actually has the Sword Immortal constitution?” Xishan Yue was startled when he heard that. A hint of envy appeared.
He had already cultivated for over fifty thousand years before finally reaching Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal. Although he was only a step away from Immortal Monarch, he could not break through even if he had another million years without his fortunes aligning.
Yet right before him, the female cultivator who was only a Golden Immortal naturally possessed the right to reach Immortal Monarch. How could he not be envious?
“Little girl, which organisation do you belong to?” Xishan Yanlie asked Jing Mumu.
“Senior, the two of them come from a small organisation called the Jing family from Falling Cloud City,” Xue Feng blurted out and answered for them.
“Falling Cloud City? That’s quite far from our Immortal Rising City. I have heard of a Tiger Roar clan there, but I don’t know of a Jing family.” Xishan Yanlie smiled mysteriously and looked at Jing Feng. “You’re this girl’s senior?”
“I am Jing Feng. Greetings, senior. If I am honest, I am Mumu’s grandfather by blood.” Jing Feng clasped his fist. He was very careful. Despite knowing that Jing Mumu’s master possessed extraordinary strength as an Immortal Emperor, he did not have the courage to provoke the Xishan clan that served as one of the eight organisations in the Immortal Rising City.
That was because the eight clans were backed by the city lord’s estate!
“That’s perfect then. Since you’re here, I can formally propose a marriage between our clan and your Jing family. Have your girl marry into our Xishan clan. She’ll be the main wife of our first young master, Xishan Yue. As long as you agree to this proposal, the Jing family of Falling Cloud City will also receive the protection of our Xishan clan,” Xishan Yanlie said to Jing Feng.
“Third grandfather, this…” Xishan Yue was taken aback. He was stunned.
“If you can practise dual cultivation with this woman, it’ll be much easier for you to break through to Immortal Monarch,” Xishan Yanlie communicated to Xishan Yue.
Xishan Yue was taken aback by that at first, but he soon ravished with joy.
“Thank you for your kind intentions, senior, but Mumu is still young. She has no plans on getting married right now.” Jing Feng declined him carefully.
“Looks like the conditions that our Xishan clan are putting forward are still not enough to satisfy you. However, this is as far as my authority goes. If the patriarch speaks, perhaps he can offer you more. The two of you, please come to our Xishan clan. I’ve already contacted the patriarch. I’m sure the patriarch will receive you personally.” Xishan Yanlie looked at Xishan Yue and said, “What’re you waiting for? Invite these two guests to the clan and receive them with courtesy.”
Xishan Lie finally understood what was going on now. What his third grandfather wanted was not just the strange tip of the sword, but the people themselves as well.
Xishan Yue smiled brightly and said, “Please come with me, the two of you!”
“Hmph, we’re not going to your Xishan clan or whatever. Grandpa, let’s go and find master to settle this.” Jing Mumu snorted coldly. She placed extremely great emphasis on the word “master”, clearly as a warning.
After saying that, she stowed her immortal crystals away and walked off with Jing Feng in tow.
“If you don’t come with us and reject our invitation, you’ll be looking down on our Xishan clan. That’s not very good. As a result, it’s best if you visit our Xishan clan first. As for your master, our Xishan clan will send people to invite him over. I’m sure your master won’t refuse.” Xishan Yanlie smiled gently. Shortly afterwards, he closed his hand and demonstrated a hint of his cultivation as a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch. Jing Feng and Jing Mumu immediately felt like they were seized by an invisible force. They were completely immobilised.
Xishan Yanlie clearly planned on taking Jing Mumu and Jing Feng back by force.
“You’re a mighty Immortal Monarch, yet you actually want to harass a Heavenly Immortal. How shameless. Is everyone from the eight organisations of the Immortal Rising City like this?” At this moment, a cold voice rang out from nowhere. Jian Chen suddenly appeared beside Jing Mumu, staring at Xishan Yanlie calmly.
With his arrival, the force that seized Jing Feng and Jing Mumu immediately vanished. Having recovered their freedom, they immediately ran behind Jian Chen.
“Master, they’ve been harassing both me and my grandpa.” Jing Mumu held the hem of Jian Chen’s clothes firmly as if she had finally found a safe cove within the storm. She immediately calmed down.
Jing Feng communicated to Jian Chen sternly, introducing the backing of the Xishan clan to him in detail.
“Sir, who are you?” Xishan Yanlie became stern. He stared at Jian Chen sharply. The secret technique he used on Jing Feng and Jing Mumu had actually been disrupted without any signs at all. He felt like he was facing a powerful enemy.
