Chapter 701: Requires Pills
The Liu family patriarch nodded in understanding and looked at Liu Si with approval. "You've done a great job recently and handled everything very well. Once this matter is completely over, I'll arrange for you to go to a suitable place to improve your strength. This will be a reward for you."
Upon hearing this, Liu Si was overjoyed and quickly bowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you very much for your cultivation, ancestor. Liu Si will definitely live up to your expectations." Afterwards, he had a brief conversation with the ancestor of the Liu family and reported some recent trivial matters within the family.
At this moment, the Liu family patriarch suddenly smiled and said, "Alright, I'll leave this place to you for the time being. I have some urgent matters to attend to. When I come back, I'll visit your savior."
Liu Si originally wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it was not appropriate to say more at this time. In the end, he said nothing, just nodded silently and watched the ancestor of the Liu family leave.
Upon hearing that Liu Si had been rescued, the Liu family's patriarch was filled with surprise and curiosity, and immediately wanted to see who could have such power. However, just as he was about to investigate, he noticed someone outside sending him a unique signal. The signal was secretive and rapid, as if it was about something extremely urgent.
Liu Si stood aside and wanted to ask the ancestor what had happened, but seeing the ancestor's solemn expression and a chilling aura emanating from his body, a wave of fear suddenly surged in his heart, and he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He really didn't dare to ask rashly.
The Liu family patriarch frowned, pondering for a moment before turning and heading towards a remote location. Arriving there, he quickly formed seals with his hands, muttering something. A faint flash of light passed, and he forcibly opened a small formation, then slipped out in a flash.
When they arrived outside the formation, the ancestor of the Liu family looked at the side with a sharp gaze and said coldly: "Okay, there are no outsiders here. I'm already here, why don't you come out." As soon as the words fell, a cloud of smoke rose up, and a man slowly walked out from it. It was the leader of the Tiger Sect.
The Tiger Clan's leader was slightly startled when he saw the Liu Clan's ancestor. He then teased, "You're not dead yet." The Liu Clan's ancestor wasn't a good-tempered person to begin with. Upon hearing this, he suddenly felt a surge of anger. He glared at the Tiger Clan's leader and said, "I'm a demon. I'm naturally endowed with a long lifespan. I can live much longer than you humans. You're not dead yet, so how can I die so easily?"
After hearing this, the leader of the Fierce Tiger Sect simply smiled lightly, without getting angry. His expression straightened and he said, "Alright, what have you thought about what I told you before?" The Liu Family Patriarch nodded slightly, looking at him deeply, and said, "You don't need to worry about these human cultivators anymore."
The leader of the Fierce Tiger Sect smiled meaningfully and said slowly, "The human race still needs my protection, but my life is coming to an end. I don't have much time left. Naturally, I need these humans to offer me something to keep me alive."
Upon hearing this, the Liu Family Patriarch simply nodded silently, pondering within himself. He knew that while the demon race was exceptionally powerful, the human race seemed to possess a unique destiny in this world, deeply blessed by heaven and earth. Ultimately, this was not something the demons could easily contend with. Even if the demons occasionally cooperated within themselves, they had to be wary of the human race as a whole.
The Liu Family Patriarch raised his eyes and looked at the leader of the Tiger Sect, saying, "You should also pretend to attack when the time comes. Now those cultivators have been trapped by the formation and become useless. They will soon be used to refine the pill. When the pill is refined, I will definitely give you one."
Upon hearing this, the leader of the Tiger Sect shook his head without hesitation, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said, "I want two pills, otherwise you should know what I want to do. My situation is critical now, and one pill is far from enough for me." He stared at the ancestor of the Liu family, and his eyes seemed to be warning him that if the ancestor of the Liu family did not agree, he would take some extreme measures.
The Liu Family Patriarch narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and vigilance. He stared directly at the Tiger Sect's leader and said slowly, "Isn't your request a bit too harsh?"
The Tiger Clan's leader was a burly figure, over seventy years old, yet he still exuded a powerful, oppressive aura. He stared back at the Liu Clan Patriarch fearlessly and spoke coldly, "My time is drawing to a close. But before I die, I possess the strength to completely eliminate all of you demons. Even if I perish in the afterlife, what harm does it have to me?" His voice was firm and resolute, as if imbued with endless murderous intent.
The Liu Family Patriarch pondered inwardly. While the Tiger Sect's leader was indeed old, his strength was formidable. If he were to be easily offended, it would undoubtedly bring immense trouble to the Liu Family and indeed the entire demon race. After a moment's deliberation, the Liu Family Patriarch forced a smile and said to the Tiger Sect's leader, "Alright, I agree to this. However, to fulfill your request, it will take some time to prepare."
The leader of the Fierce Tiger Sect nodded slightly and said seriously, "Alright, I'll wait here. But you must remember, not a single word of this matter can be leaked. Otherwise, if the news leaks out, I will do whatever I want, no matter what the consequences. Don't blame me for being ruthless."
Although the Liu Family Patriarch was filled with rage, he could only suppress it under the circumstances and said nothing more. He snorted coldly, turned around, and walked away, his back showing a hint of helplessness and unwillingness.
After the Liu Family Patriarch left, the Tiger Clan's leader looked aside, sighed softly, and muttered to himself, "Alas, if my time was not coming to an end and my strength wasn't so much reduced as before, why would I cooperate with these demons? This is simply a great shame and humiliation for those of us who follow the righteous path."
However, despite saying this, the reality of his predicament made him realize that cooperation with the demon tribe was not completely impossible. After all, he needed the help of the demon tribe to complete his final plan.
After returning to the mysterious and powerful formation, the Liu Family Patriarch immediately decided to retreat and cultivate. He knew that only by rapidly improving his own strength could he better control the situation and fulfill his promise with the Tiger Sect's leader. Once his retreat was over, he would be able to utilize the imprisoned human cultivators for training, thereby further enhancing his own strength.
The Liu Family Patriarch turned to look at Liu Si and said slowly, "Alright, I really don't have time to see your friend right now. I'm going into seclusion right now. I'll meet up with your friend after I come out. What do you think?"
