Chapter 33 – Who did you provoke?
Chapter 33 – Who did you provoke?
Many disciples clamored to flatten Black Tiger Abyss, even Hongzun nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, if there's a potential threat, it should be nipped in the bud."
While everyone was filled with righteous indignation, Ye Changqing stood there stunned, wanting to say something, but it seemed like no one cared about him.
They made the decision on their own.
Then, at Hongzun's command, the disciples soared into the sky again, heading straight for Black Tiger Abyss.
"Junior Brother Changqing, rest assured, we will definitely flatten Black Tiger Abyss this time."
Lu Youyou and Liu Shuang promised confidently, to which Ye Changqing opened his mouth.
"Senior Sister, actually..."
"Don't worry, just a mere Black Tiger Abyss, we can destroy it with a flip of our hand. Junior Brother, just follow along."
They didn't give Ye Changqing a chance to speak, only urging him to keep up.
Seeing this, Ye Changqing had no choice but to ride Xiao Bai and follow the main group. Along the way, the disciples of Divine Sword Peak exuded a murderous aura.
As the disciples of Divine Sword Peak rushed to Black Tiger Abyss, the two purple demons that had fled earlier also returned to Black Tiger Abyss.
With steep cliffs on both sides, a natural abyss formed in the middle.
Inside the abyss, there were many excavated caves, and in the largest cave, the two purple demons were kneeling before a burly man.
This burly man was the master of Black Tiger Abyss, Sha Hu, a tiger demon of the Elemental Demon level, equivalent to a human cultivator in the Elemental Infant Realm.

Looking at his two subordinates below, Sha Hu asked coldly.
"So, you failed?"
"Spare us, Abyss Master. This time it was Divine Sword Peak. We don't know what madness possessed them, but they came out in full force, even Peak Master Hongzun appeared personally. Blue Bird and the others were no match and were killed on the spot. We barely escaped."
The two purple demons explained anxiously. Hearing this, Sha Hu was silent for a moment before speaking.
"Divine Sword Peak came out in full force? Even if the matter of the great demon's remains was discovered by Dao Yi Sect, it wouldn't warrant such a reaction. Did you provoke someone?"
The two purple demons hadn't been present at the scene, so they only had a vague understanding of the situation. Facing Sha Hu's inquiry, they exchanged a glance, recalled for a moment, and shook their heads.
"We didn't provoke anyone."
"And to avoid being detected by Dao Yi Sect, we never showed ourselves and sent a half-demon to investigate the whereabouts of the great demon's remains."
"Everything was going smoothly, but then Dao Yi Sect sent an Inner Sect disciple and a core disciple, presumably to deal with the half-demon."
"Then the disciples of Divine Sword Peak descended and killed Blue Bird and the others without a word."
They couldn't figure out who they had provoked; they had been extremely cautious this time.
This made Sha Hu even more puzzled. If they hadn't provoked anyone, why would Divine Sword Peak react so strongly?
Could it be because of that Inner Sect disciple?
It's not surprising that Sha Hu would think this way; after all, there seemed to be no other explanation.
But losing three capable subordinates at once was a painful blow for Sha Hu.
"Dao Yi Sect, fine, very well."
He said coldly. In truth, Black Tiger Abyss's strength was no match for Dao Yi Sect. However, because Sha Hu was a tiger demon, it was said he had some connection to Tiger Ridge.
Moreover, Sha Hu usually didn't provoke Dao Yi Sect, so they couldn't be bothered with him.
If it weren't for the great demon's remains, Sha Hu wouldn't have risked sending people into Dao Yi Sect's territory.
But losing three purple demons at once, this debt couldn't be left unsettled. If he couldn't deal with Dao Yi Sect, could he not secretly target a few Dao Yi Sect disciples?
Especially that Inner Sect disciple and that Menial Disciple, it seemed everything started because of them.
He had already made up his mind that if he had the chance in the future, he would kill those two to avenge this grudge.
But just as Sha Hu was contemplating revenge, a wolf demon suddenly rushed in, looking terrified.
"Not good, the people from Divine Sword Peak have come to attack."
Upon hearing this, Sha Hu and the two purple demons were stunned. The people from Divine Sword Peak had come to attack?
What did these humans mean? Not only did they kill three of their purple demons, but now they were directly attacking. Did they intend to flatten Black Tiger Abyss?
What kind of grudge or enmity was this, to be so relentless?
Immediately, Sha Hu's gaze fell on the two purple demons again, a chilling aura emanating from him as he coldly questioned.
"Are you still not being honest? Who exactly did you provoke?"
If they hadn't offended someone they shouldn't have, would Divine Sword Peak be so relentless, determined to eradicate Black Tiger Abyss?
Facing Sha Hu's questioning, the two purple demons felt wronged.
"Abyss Master, Heaven and Earth can testify, we really didn't provoke anyone."
"If not, why would Divine Sword Peak be like this?"
"We really don't know. It was after that Inner Sect disciple and Menial Disciple came that things turned out this way."
The two purple demons were truly baffled, who knew what madness had possessed the people of Divine Sword Peak.
As they spoke, shouts of battle could already be heard outside the cave.
"Charge, for Junior Brother Changqing."
"Protect Junior Brother Changqing, flatten Black Tiger Abyss."
"Dare to bully Junior Brother Changqing, charge, avenge Junior Brother Changqing."
Amidst the shouts, the words "Junior Brother Changqing" repeatedly appeared, and naturally, Sha Hu heard them.
"Are you still not confessing? Who exactly is this Changqing, and what did you do to him?"
The source of the trouble seemed to be this so-called Junior Brother Changqing. It was because of him that Divine Sword Peak had gone mad, chasing them all the way to Black Tiger Abyss.
Under Sha Hu's pressure, the two purple demons were almost in tears.
"Abyss Master, we really don't know any Changqing, let alone provoke him, we..."
"If not, why would Divine Sword Peak's people seek revenge for this Changqing?"
The murderous intent in those shouts was as if there was a deep-seated grudge. If you hadn't acted against them, why would the disciples of Divine Sword Peak be like this?
No matter how Sha Hu questioned, the two purple demons knew nothing. They truly didn't know, who the hell was called Changqing.
Unable to get any answers, by this time, the people of Divine Sword Peak had already stormed into Black Tiger Abyss, getting closer and closer. Sha Hu had no choice but to lead his men to face the enemy.
As soon as they exited the cave, they saw Hongzun, Lu Youyou, Liu Shuang, and dozens of Inner Sect disciples already in front of them.
Seeing Hongzun, Sha Hu's expression instantly became extremely grave. Then he looked around at the disciples of Divine Sword Peak and took the initiative to speak.
"Senior Hongzun, everyone from Divine Sword Peak, what offense has my Black Tiger Abyss committed?"
