Chapter 1351 - 1351: Hero or Coward

This unexpected turn of events caught not only the Ice Palace, the Stone Race, and the demons off guard, but even Gong Qing was taken by surprise.

She knew Jiang Cheng would surely handle these demon clans.

But she truly hadn't expected that the Purple-Brown Daoist Venerable actually knew Jiang Cheng.

She found it unbelievable, let alone everyone else.

The Stone Race, who initially thought Jiang Cheng was doomed, were now all dumbfounded.

Especially Tansha Daoist Venerable, whom they had just helped up, was feeling extremely frustrated.

He suspected the Purple-Brown Daoist Venerable was deliberately messing with him.

You're a dignified Daoist Venerable, and you kneel to a Supreme?

Do you take me for a fool?

Yet what followed was even more shocking. Among the demons behind the Purple-Brown Daoist Venerable, more than thirty Bear Race Supremes and over two thousand Bear Race Celestial Venerables also knelt down.

"Demon Lord Jiang, we once followed you back in the day!"

"This time is really a misunderstanding."

"What do you say, let's just let it go...?"

"Yes, yes, we dare not be your enemy. We've been talking about you all these years!"

They were from the Bear Race of the Demon Realm back then, incredibly powerful, and had resolutely followed Emperor Bear Pi, becoming his core group.

Because of their presence, Emperor Bear Pi always carried a loyal following wherever he went, becoming very influential in Yunmi Dao.

If only the Purple-Brown Daoist Venerable had knelt to plead for mercy, people would have thought he had gone mad.

But with all these Great Demons of the Bear Race doing the same, it was far from an isolated incident.

The remaining demons on site erupted in chaos.

They couldn't comprehend this scene at all.

Were it not for the profound authority of the Purple-Brown Daoist Venerable, perhaps all demon clans in Mo Yuan Valley would have gone crazy on the spot.

Meanwhile, the women of the Ice Palace had collectively turned to stone.

Keep in mind, whether in terms of individual Daoist practice or overall power, the Purple-Brown Daoist Venerable was far superior to the Cyan Bear Daoist Venerable.

He was quite prominent within Yunmi Dao.

Such a formidable strong person, along with thousands of Bear Race experts, was actually kneeling to that Venerable Junshuai whom they felt was not qualified to be Supreme Palace Master?

How could this be?

It was too absurd!

What on earth had happened?

Everyone's mind was full of question marks.

Brother Cheng couldn't care less about what they thought.

He only felt incredibly disappointed now.

Where was the scene where he amazed everyone with his power?

"Stand up and fight! Why are you kneeling?"

The Purple-Brown Daoist Venerable chuckled awkwardly, "You're always joking around. We're loyal to the Demon Lord, why would we start a fight?"

"Alright, then you Bear Race get out of the way, I'll just wipe out the others."

The Purple-Brown Daoist Venerable hurriedly pleaded.

"Don't, they're innocent good demons."

All other demon clans in Mo Yuan Valley were the subordinates he had painstakingly conquered; losing even one would weaken his power, so he couldn't bear to watch Jiang Cheng clear them away with a single sword stroke.

Other Bear Race Supremes also pleaded immediately.

"Yes, yes, they're all good demons."

"They've always cared for flowers and small animals, making significant contributions to the surrounding environment."

"Each one of them is compassionate, afraid of harming ants even when sweeping the floor!"

"We've always been kind and generous, doing countless good deeds without seeking recognition."

The women of the Ice Palace had a vacant look.

If we hadn't heard you shouting to kill repeatedly earlier, we might have almost believed you.

Tansha Daoist Venerable wanted even more strongly to mock them.

Just moments ago when we encountered you all, you were fierce and looked ready to wipe us out. Where's that energy now?

Have you now collectively become Buddhists just because of that kid?

He's quite puzzled now, wasn't this kid an old acquaintance of Gong Qing? How has he suddenly become the superior of Purple-Brown?

What is his background?

So, this time I really hit the iron wall and provoked someone I shouldn't have?

Soon, strong jealousy and discontent emerged in his heart.

Why?

Why does a mere Supreme earn so much respect, while I as a Daoist Venerable do not?

He's just a Supreme, what are you afraid of?

Tansha Daoist Venerable could not accept this situation.

If, in the end, Emperor Bear Pi really listens to Jiang Cheng, what will become of me?

"Purple-Brown Daoist Venerable, I've always respected you as a hero, never thought you were just a coward!"

His words once again stunned the entire scene.

The Bear Race was going mad, and now you're mad too?

With only this two hundred strong Stone Race, you actually dare to point at the Purple-Brown Daoist Venerable and call him a coward?

Don't you know that the Bear Race's greatest taboo is being called cowardly?

The busy pleading Purple-Brown Daoist Venerable slowly turned his huge head.

"What did you say?"

Though he showed fierce intent, he didn't immediately make a move, allowing Tansha Daoist Venerable to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

He was deliberate.

Deliberately using such harsh words to provoke the Purple-Brown Daoist Venerable, hoping he would kill Jiang Cheng.

"I can see that your Bear Race used to know him, maybe he wasn't stronger than him before, right?"

He calmed himself and continued to speak.

"But those days are long gone, ancient history, aren't they?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it's at least from the Ancient Era before the merge of the Primordial Immortal Realm?"

"Now he's just a mere Supreme, which shows that's about it."

"His power is far inferior to yours, not to mention his numbers. Is it necessary to be so deferential to him?"

"Don't you feel that it tarnishes your dignity as a Daoist Venerable?"

His words resonated strongly with the tens of thousands of other demon clans present.

They too felt that the reaction from the Purple-Brown Daoist Venerable and the other Bear Race experts was somewhat exaggerated.

Even if they were his subordinates before, things have changed, is there such a need to be so humble?

It was simply degrading!

Even the women of the Ice Palace, currently on the opposing side of the Stone Race, couldn't help but secretly agree.

They also didn't understand this situation.

Not only the Purple-Brown Daoist Venerable, but Gong Qing Daoist Venerable also showed a similar attitude of complete servitude to Jiang Junshuai when meeting him, which was simply ridiculous.

"Finished talking?"

Purple-Brown Bear Pi slowly straightened his body, his expression shifting unpredictably, with an undecided attitude.

Tansha Daoist Venerable was reassured.

He believed he had succeeded in persuading the Purple-Brown Daoist Venerable.

"Indeed, I'm really doing this for your sake. An esteemed Daoist Venerable doesn't need to be this way!"

"Heh!"

Purple-Brown Bear Pi bared his bloody mouth, revealing cold, sharp fangs.

"I've figured you out, you want to stir up trouble between me and Demon Lord Jiang."

"You're really spiteful, scheming to get me killed!"

He clenched his crackling fists, furious.

If Jiang Cheng was just an ordinary superior before, he naturally wouldn't care at this point.

But he's not!

If someone repeatedly defeats enemies two, three, four, or even five to six major Realms above yours, it's hard not to consider it as his usual conduct.

Jiang Cheng is currently just at the Ultimate Realm, in Purple-Brown Bear Pi's eyes, that roughly equals the power of a Celestial Emperor.

That's as low as it gets.

Are you suggesting I confront a Celestial Emperor?

"I'm doing this with good intentions, looking out for you..."

Tansha Daoist Venerable continued to babble.

"Good intentions your whole family!"

The Purple-Brown Daoist Venerable slammed his palm down.
