Chapter 238 He caused so much trouble to the mountain gate, he deserves to die!
Fu Huaian cautiously eyed his wives.
They didn't stop him from taking this item.
Each of them scrutinized Situ Yu, then composed themselves, their expressions calm.
Mainly, they knew the preciousness of Ice Rhythm Glaze.
It could help Fu Huaian advance further, and even they were conflicted about whether to refuse!
Fu Huaian coughed lightly, his expression turning serious, and glanced at Situ Yu.
"Elder Situ, I once heard that you were Yuan Daozi's Dao Companion."
Since Ice Rhythm Glaze was a primordial yin, did Yuan Daozi keep such a Dao Companion?
Situ Yu's expression remained cold and calm.
"He came from a rogue Cultivator background. I lured him with Ice Rhythm Glaze, mainly to tie him to Shangling Mountain."
?
Fu Huaian looked stunned, no wonder Yuan Daozi had to keep a young wife and dared not let Situ Yu know.
It turned out he wasn't afraid of Situ Yu getting angry, but of losing the Ice Rhythm Glaze.
Fu Huaian scanned the surroundings; a large group of people stood there.
He really didn't have the audacity to agree to take that strange Ice Rhythm Glaze.
"Elder Situ, let's discuss this matter again; please think of something else."
Liu Ruyan smiled charmingly at him and transmitted her voice:
"Do you dislike her for having had a Dao Companion? Her body is still pure, isn't it?"
Fu Huaian remained unperturbed.
"Let's see. This thing is dispensable. That little girl intends to offer her body to make me magnanimously spare Shangling Mountain."
"Moreover, if I were to accept this, Situ Yu would use it to her advantage, and Shangling Mountain might even turn misfortune into a blessing."
"Besides, I'm not that kind of person; I only like you, my wives!"
Liu Ruyan almost burst out laughing.
Jiang Zhou heard Fu Huaian's words, his heart complex, with a faint sense of loss.
If Fu Huaian had truly taken Situ Yu, he would have been at least half relieved!
He could then use Situ Yu as a bridge to get closer to Fu Huaian.
A thousand years later, today's events might not be a blessing.
What a pity.
Situ Yu's face remained cold and unruffled.
After a moment of thought.
"Senior Fu, I spent a thousand years refining a flying Dao Artifact, named Profound Spirit Ice Palace."
Fu Huaian thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
By now, all three had presented items that satisfied Fu Huaian.
Spirit-Building Fruit Tree, Earth Core Nether Grass, Profound Spirit Ice Palace.
All are Dao-Grade supreme treasures.
Fu Huaian exhaled lightly and said with a smile:
"Mountain Lord Jiang, I have no objections regarding the compensation, but finally, I hope you do one more thing."
Jiang Zhou's heart was uneasy, and he said in a low voice:
"Please speak, Senior Fu."
Fu Huaian stood up and said indifferently:
"Besides you three, kill everyone closely related to Yuan Daozi's lineage."
"Tomorrow, I want to see the results before I accept the resources you promised."
Jiang Zhou's body trembled, and his face immediately turned pale!
As a Grand Elder, Yuan Daozi had too many Disciples and followers closely related to him.
Fu Huaian stared at him and said in a deep voice:
"Can't you do it?"
Jiang Zhou shook his head slightly, his voice hoarse:
"I will deal with it immediately and ensure Senior Fu is satisfied."
Fu Huaian nodded lightly.
Jiang Zhou turned his head to look at Situ Yu and said softly:
"Elder Situ, please take Senior Fu and his party to rest for a while at Shangling Cloud Palace."
Situ Yu nodded silently.
Jiang Zhou and Jiang Tianyuan bid farewell and left the main hall.
Situ Yu stood up and looked at Fu Huaian.
"Senior Fu, please follow me."
Fu Huaian nodded lightly, leading his wives and the three, Zhou Yu, Qin Feng, and Xu Jin, to follow Situ Yu.
The group left Shangling Mountain's main peak.
After a quarter of an hour of flying, they arrived above a high peak's sea of clouds.
Situ Yu formed a seal to open a door, and a Formation activated.
Inside, magnificent palaces and towers were built among the clouds, and the Spiritual Qi was so dense it formed mist.
Immortal Beasts circled, and rosy clouds enveloped the area.
Fu Huaian's eyes lit up; this indeed looked like an Immortal's abode.
Situ Yu led the group to land on a cloud-bound covered bridge.
Below the bridge, Immortal Cranes flew past, their white feathers fluttering.
Fu Huaian stood there, looking down.
Besides seeing the scenery of Shangling Cloud Palace, he could also see Jiang Zhou and Jiang Tianyuan at work.
Now, the old man was weeping as he killed.
Fu Huaian was silent in his heart.
Fu Huaian had only killed Yuan Daozi himself.
Although the Cultivators connected to Yuan Daozi died because of him.
But for a life-and-death feud, Fu Huaian's actions were such that who in the cultivation Dao wouldn't praise him as a great benevolent person?
If it were Xu Jin, not a single ant in the entire Shangling Mountain would survive!
Situ Yu's white dress fluttered, her face calm as she watched the blood flow like a river below.
Her Dao of cultivation had made her emotions much colder.
For established matters that couldn't be changed, she wouldn't let her emotions affect her too much.
She didn't lead Fu Huaian away from the cloud bridge.
She deliberately made him watch Jiang Zhou slaughter his fellow sect members.
Nangong Jingyao and Lu Yingying watched for a moment, then withdrew their gaze and went to tease the little girl, Bai Mei.
Yaoqi licked her red lips, her golden eyes looking at the Immortal Cranes!
She wanted to eat them!
Zhou Yu and Qin Feng watched below, huddling together, whispering and murmuring.
The two actually felt that Fu Huaian was still a bit too merciful.
If the tables were turned one day, would they, who followed Fu Huaian, fare well?
But thinking of Fu Huaian's growth potential, they chuckled and shook their heads.
Never mind, never mind. With Shangling Mountain's strength, no matter how great the enmity, there was no chance of a comeback.
Su Muqing sighed softly; her nature was extremely kind. Although she was in the Harmony Realm, she hadn't fought much and had killed even less.
She achieved this Realm purely relying on top-tier Aptitude, coupled with her Immortal Rank Alchemist level, by spending a crazy amount of money to reach her current cultivation.
As she looked down now, her charming face showed a hint of unbearable sadness.
It was simply an instinctive pity for the passing of life.
However, she would not lose her good impression of Fu Huaian because of this; instead, her good impression increased significantly.
Putting herself in his shoes, how many Cultivators with a deep life-and-death feud could act to Fu Huaian's extent?
Five years ago, the role Jiang Zhou played was not glorious at all!
Fu Huaian leaned on the jade railing and asked with a smile:
"From beginning to end, you haven't shown any hatred towards me, which is what truly surprises me the most."
"When Jiang Zhou and Jiang Tianyuan discussed compensation just now, although no hatred was detectable, anger surfaced several times."
"And I killed your Dao Companion; I originally thought you would be the one most irreconcilable with me."
"I don't know if you truly have no emotions or if you're just good at hiding them."
Situ Yu stood beside him, her expression as calm as an ancient well, and said coldly:
"What's the use of hatred and anger?"
"As for Yuan Daozi, it's good that he died. When he advanced to the Late Stage Harmony Realm, I would have been spared the trouble of finding an excuse to get rid of him."
"He caused such big trouble for the sect; he deserved to die!"
Fu Huaian was speechless.
"I'm not looking anymore."
Situ Yu nodded and walked slowly forward.
Fu Huaian led everyone across the cloud bridge, following her all the way to a white jade palace.
The palace emitted a faint glow, towering five stories high.
Stepping inside, the Spiritual Qi became even denser, and the decor was extremely luxurious.
Situ Yu stopped here, turned, and asked:
"Senior Fu, all five floors of Cloud Palace can accommodate people; you may choose freely."
Fu Huaian nodded lightly.
He no longer paid attention to her, leading his wives to the second floor.
Zhou Yu, Qin Feng, and Xu Jin gathered together, found an exquisite jade table, and stayed on the first floor to drink wine.
Su Muqing frowned and pondered for a moment, then silently went to the top floor alone to enjoy the scenery.
