Chapter 1162: The Third Condition
Jiang Cheng did not refute as Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable expected.
Instead, he agreed with him.
"Hmm, it seems that your disciples have a lofty pride and are not used to bowing their heads to admit wrongs."
Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable was taken aback.
Then proudly raised his head.
"Of course!"
"In that case, you can serve as a demonstration for them."
Brother Cheng toyed with the Memorial Immortal Artifact in his hand and said leisurely, "Let’s have a live video lesson, let them see how the ancestor kneels."
"You!"
"How could you be so despicable?"
As one of the slightly wicked ancestors of Yidan Stream, Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable admitted he’d never met someone so extraordinary.
Just clinging to a Memorial Immortal Artifact as a Magical Treasure, threatening him again and again.
Brother Cheng didn’t feel ashamed at all.
Evil people need evil people to grind against them, and he had plenty of experience dealing with bad guys.
"Isn’t it very effective?"
Shaking the Memorial Immortal Artifact in his hand, he offered no room for negotiation.
"Either agree or we go down together, your choice."
Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable was so angry that his teeth hurt.
Just moments ago, when he saw Jiang Cheng, he was so excited he was almost twisted.
This brat came to my turf, and isn’t he at my mercy?
The grudge from last time must be returned tenfold or a hundredfold!
But now, that idea had long been thrown out of his mind.
Damn it, why did I have to meet him again?
As he transmitted curses, he mulled over it and eventually agreed to the second condition.
As an Eighth-grade Imperial Alchemist, he could easily provide a few hundred bottles of Seventh-grade Emperor Pills.
Besides, he wouldn’t have to pay for it himself.
Of course, Jin Pi, Zhengxu, and others would cover it.
And offering an apology, that was something for his disciples to do, not requiring him to bow his head personally.
As for the three kneeling and nine kowtows, that was for Celestial Venerable Bi Ying to do alone.
Yi Yuan and Bi Ying were separated by countless distances, why care if he feels humiliated?
Whether others felt ashamed didn’t matter, as long as he preserved his face.
So...
It’s not unacceptable!
"I warn you, don’t be too excessive with the third condition!"
The second condition was already such a hassle, Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable was very worried the third condition would be as hard as reaching the sky.
He had to play some psychological warfare in advance to pressure Jiang Cheng.
"Otherwise, I’d rather fight to the death than let you succeed!"
As for Sect Leader Jiang, he nodded.
"Don’t worry, the third condition won’t make you bleed either. It’s just a small, small request, very easy to do, just a matter of lifting a finger for you."
"Really?"
Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable’s face eased slightly, and his heart relaxed a little.
"It better be that way!"
Sect Leader Jiang smiled and raised his third finger.
"The third condition is for you to personally kill Bi Ying as a warning to others."
"What did you say?"
This time, Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable even forgot to transmit his voice, directly roaring out on the spot.
This frightened the others waiting for the negotiation results, making them all step back in surprise.
"Ancestor, what’s wrong?"
They didn’t know what the two had transmitted to each other and were clueless about the previous grandfather-calling event in the Reception Department.
"This brat isn’t worth your direct transmission, why indulge him?"
"Exactly, who does he think he is?"
"Brat, you’ve got some nerve, daring to provoke our ancestor?"
On this side, Liuyuan and Qing Huan were not to be outdone.
"So what if we provoke your ancestor?"
"Do you think your ancestor is something in front of Sect Leader Jiang? He isn’t even worthy to lift his shoes!"
"Sect Leader Jiang communicating with him is his honor!"
For a moment, both sides were at each other’s throats.
Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable ignored them and resumed transmitting his voice.
"This kind of demand... I think you are crazy!"
Brother Cheng caressed the Memorial Immortal Artifact in his hand and said blandly, "If you won’t agree, we split ways, it doesn’t matter to me."
Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable took a deep breath.
Coldly, he said, "The Celestial Palace does not allow the slaughter of any Immortal Official, how can you not know that?"
Yidan Stream spread its branches in the Pill True Realm, a legacy of countless billions of years.
Bi Ying and he were separated by countless generations, and there were no feelings.
If Bi Ying were really killed, he, the ancestor, would not be heartbroken.
What he could not accept was personally killing Bi Ying himself.
His disciples relied on him to watch over them, to stand up for them.
The result was that not only did he fail to cover them, but he also carried out ’righteous patricide.’
What kind of person would he be?
Spread out, it would be mocked by those in the Dao!
"I know, that’s why I made it a condition."
Bi Ying, this person, Jiang Cheng was determined to eliminate him!
Brother Cheng wasn’t some justice fighter; he usually didn’t act arbitrarily as a hero, although he did engage in some sect annihilation and looting.
But since it was right in front of his eyes, he wouldn’t turn a blind eye.
After seeing the tragic state of Yue Yao and the other four, Celestial Venerable Bi Ying was already dead in his eyes.
"Bi Ying must die, that’s my bottom line!"
Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable sternly refused, his attitude firm.
"No, absolutely not!"
Jiang Cheng’s voice turned cold as well.
"It’s up to you, I’m not negotiating with you, but giving you a final ultimatum. If you don’t kill him, you bear the consequences."
Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable realized that this time he was serious, a panic flashed in his mind.
Once again, he weighed the consequences.
Finally, he said gloomily, "If you want to kill, do it yourself, at most, I’ll pretend I didn’t see it!"
Jiang Cheng scoffed, "If I wanted to do it myself, would I have notified you?"
With Jiang Cheng’s current power, killing Bi Ying would be a matter of moments.
And he wasn’t afraid of causing trouble or concerned with heavenly rules about not killing Immortal Officials.
But this time, he insisted the other side take action.
"I originally intended to just rescue the others and then kill Bi Ying, and that would be it."
"Why did you have to show up?"
"Since you like stepping in and playing the leader so much, standing up for your disciples, don’t expect it to be easy."
"You!"
"Leave some room for maneuver, it’s also leaving yourself a way out!" Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable implicitly threatened in his words.
Jiang Cheng said calmly, "Since my debut, I’ve never considered a way out in my actions."
He knew Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable certainly hated him to the core.
But he didn’t care.
"Good! Very good!"
Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable stared deadly at the Memorial Immortal Artifact, his mind undergoing countless balances, countless battles between heaven and man in that moment.
Compared to streetwise evaluation, compared to the disappointment of his disciples, the public exposure of kowtowing and calling someone grandfather was clearly far more severe.
More severe by hundreds of times.
In the end, he let out a heavy breath.
"Alright, I agree to everything."
He coldly extended his right hand.
"Hand over the Memorial Immortal Artifact!"
Jiang Cheng shook his head.
"Do you think it’s my first day out here?"
"First complete those three conditions, then I will hand it over to you."
Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable said angrily, "What if you go back on your word..."
"You can choose to stall, but my patience is limited."
