Chapter 4418: 4399 Power Prevails

“Their spirit beasts have mastered the Law of Devouring. If their spirit beasts are that powerful, their own strength must be even greater. If we directly refuse them, they might end up helping the Orcs,” Du Yanhong said.

It was clear they came for the Qiankun Dingyuan Divine Crystal. A direct refusal might force them to side with the Orcs. The Du family was currently at war with the Orcs, and several Golden Immortals had been killed or injured. If three Grand Unity Golden Immortals were to join the Orcs, the Du family would be in a precarious situation. If they agreed, the Du family would be reluctant to part with the Qiankun Dingyuan Divine Crystal.

“They certainly know how to pick their timing. They’re clearly not here with good intentions. Let’s go meet them,” the old man in green robes said.

They arrived at Wang Changsheng’s residence and sent him a sound transmission talisman. Soon after, the gate opened, and Wang Tunian entered, inviting them in. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were sitting in a blue stone pavilion, leisurely sipping tea and chatting.

“I am Du Yifeng. Greetings, Fellow Daoist Song and Madam Song. You two wish to acquire the Qiankun Dingyuan Divine Crystal. What do you offer in exchange?” the old man in green robes introduced himself and asked courteously. With his late Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation, he had no fear of Wang Changsheng and the other two.

“I heard your Du family is at war with the Orcs. I can help you deal with the Orcs, and you give us the Qiankun Dingyuan Divine Crystal? We don’t need all of it.” The Orcs in the Xuanyang Realm were merely a small tribe. He hadn't expected that in the Bi-yue Sea Region of the Barren Immortal Realm, there would be several Grand Unity Golden Immortal-level Orcs, making them quite powerful. This was not surprising; cultivators of various races were distributed throughout the Immortal Realm, differing only in numbers.

“You can exterminate the Orcs?” Du Yifeng’s face was full of doubt.

“Fellow Daoist Du, you must be joking. Do you think I would exterminate the Orcs for a few Qiankun Dingyuan Divine Crystals? I meant to make the Orcs cease hostilities. As for what happens after that, it's none of my concern.” He wouldn't go as far as to exterminate the Orcs just for a few Qiankun Dingyuan Divine Crystals; who knew what trump cards the Orcs might have.

“Make the Orcs cease hostilities? Just you? Xiong Shuo, the leader of the Orcs, is a late Grand Unity Golden Immortal.” Du Yifeng’s face was still full of doubt.

“I alone am enough, just to make the Orcs cease hostilities. How about it?”

“Alright, but we will go with you. We can't just take your word for it; seeing is believing,” Du Yifeng said.

“No problem. Without further ado, let’s depart immediately!”

They left the market and flew southwest. In less than an hour, they stopped. Ahead of them was a massive island.

“Fellow Daoist Xiong, come out and meet us! Stop hiding,” Du Yifeng spoke, his voice resounding loudly.

Soon after, a loud beast roar echoed. Five streaks of light flew out from the island and stopped with a flicker, revealing four males and one female. The one leading them was a red-shirted brawny man with a bear's head and a human body, whose aura was as vast as a boundless ocean, possessing late Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation.

“Fellow Daoist Du, are you planning to attack our Hundred Beasts Island? To decide the outcome in a single battle?” The red-shirted brawny man asked, his gaze falling upon Wang Changsheng and the two others, his face filled with confusion. This was Xiong Shuo, the leader of the Orcs.

“I heard from Fellow Daoist Du that Fellow Daoist Xiong possesses formidable powers, so I specially came to seek some guidance. Your Orc race has incredibly strong physical bodies, so how about I compete with Fellow Daoist Xiong in a physical strength contest? One punch to decide the victor, without using laws?” Wang Changsheng suggested.

“Alright! I, Xiong, also wish to experience your impressive techniques,” Xiong Shuo readily agreed. A red light burst forth from his body, and he transformed into an afterimage, rushing straight towards Wang Changsheng. Wang Changsheng showed no fear, clenching his right fist and meeting the attack.

The two right fists collided, emitting a tremendous bang. Xiong Shuo let out a cry of pain, flew backward, spat out a large mouthful of vital blood, and his face turned pale.

Witnessing this scene, Du Yifeng and the others were dumbfounded, except for Wang Ruyan and Wang Tunian. Xiong Shuo had mastered the Law of Strength and had consumed many immortal pills and elixirs for body refinement, making his physical body exceptionally powerful. Yet, he had actually been defeated by Wang Changsheng.

“Fellow Daoist Xiong, do you still wish to compete? By laws?”

“Do you dare to take one of my moves?” Xiong Shuo said, his face full of apprehension. He was truly unwilling to admit defeat just like that.

“No problem! Fellow Daoist Xiong, feel free to unleash any divine abilities you have,” Wang Changsheng readily agreed.

A red light burst from Xiong Shuo's right hand, and he unleashed a punch. A giant red fist flashed out. Wherever it passed, the void tore apart, creating numerous cracks, and the sea surface split in two.

“Law of Destruction!”

Wang Changsheng's hands drew a circle in the void, and a massive Taiji diagram appeared, representing the Law of Yin and Yang. The giant red fist struck the Taiji diagram. The Taiji diagram rapidly spun, and the giant red fist disintegrated.

“Law of Yin and Yang!” Xiong Shuo's brows furrowed tightly.

“Fellow Daoist Xiong, take one of my moves as well.” Wang Changsheng flicked his sleeve, and seven golden-glowing flying daggers shot out, floating in mid-air. Each of them was a high-grade immortal artifact. There was a Jinlang Divine Crystal ore vein in the Green Lotus Mountain Range. The Wang family took the majority of the raw Jinlang Divine Crystal ore collected. Wang Changsheng had used Jinlang Divine Crystal to refine this set of immortal artifacts, the Jinlang Blades.

“A set of high-grade immortal artifacts!” Xiong Shuo exclaimed in surprise. The opponent's treasures, physical body, and laws were all superior to his own. Du Yifeng and Du Yanhong were surprised and full of envy; they certainly didn't possess a set of high-grade immortal artifacts.

Just as Wang Changsheng was about to control the Jinlang Blades to attack Xiong Shuo, Xiong Shuo hurriedly said, “Fellow Daoist, stop. I admit defeat.” Xiong Shuo's face was full of wariness, and four of his fellow tribesmen flew over. It was no joke; who knew if the opponent was using the pretense of a friendly match to kill Xiong Shuo.

“Your Orcs are currently at war with the Du family, aren't you?” Wang Changsheng spoke.

“We are willing to cease hostilities. That territory now belongs to the Du family,” Xiong Shuo said.

“Good, then it's settled. I hope Fellow Daoist Xiong will uphold his promise, otherwise, if I come another day, it won't be a friendly match.”

The five of them left the place, and Xiong Shuo let out a long sigh of relief. “A Grand Unity Golden Immortal actually possesses a set of high-grade immortal artifacts. There's definitely no such person in the Bi-yue Sea Region. It's likely strong reinforcement invited by the Du family. Give the order to withdraw our forces! Cede that territory to the Du family,” Xiong Shuo said, his eyes filled with apprehension. Defeated by a single punch, the opponent had most likely cultivated an immortal body.

The five of them, including Wang Changsheng, returned to the market and went to Wang Changsheng's residence.

“Fellow Daoist Song, this is the Qiankun Dingyuan Divine Crystal. This is the last piece I have; I've used quite a lot.” Du Yifeng took out a gold and silver-colored ore and handed it to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng accepted the Qiankun Dingyuan Divine Crystal, took out a blue jade slip, and handed it to Du Yifeng, saying, “Fellow Daoist Du, we are collecting these materials. Do you happen to have any in your Du family? We can trade with you: chaos beast cores, immortal medicines, artifact refining materials, immortal wood, immortal fruits, and immortal pills are all acceptable. It's fine if you don't have them. If you know the whereabouts of any of these items, please let us know.”
