Chapter 569: Agreeing to a Condition
As this voice rang out, Qiu Yaoyao’s cold and elegant appearance once again appeared in front of Su Jingzhen’s eyes.
There was a faint smile on her lips, but her aura was quite sharp.
As soon as she appeared, she fixed her gaze on the Tortoise Sect Master.
Her fully unleashed aura was only at the late stage of the Unity Realm.
However, her presence seemed to rival that of the Tortoise Sect Master.
She exuded an air of superiority, as if she were a high-ranking figure.
Qiu Yaoyao naturally walked over to Su Jingzhen’s side and stood parallel to Shen Yifeng, forming a protective stance for Su Jingzhen.
Seeing her figure, the Tortoise Sect Master’s brows furrowed once again.
“Little girl, your name may be famous in the Luo River Basin, but in the eyes of an old man like me, you are still just a junior.
Even your elders wouldn’t be so arrogant in front of me.”The Tortoise Sect master spoke with a calm tone, as if he was stating an insignificant fact.
After all, his aura was indeed much stronger than Qiu Yaoyao’s.
As for his status, he was undoubtedly an elder.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yaoyao’s lips curled into a charming curve.
She smiled and said, “So what?”
Seeing Qiu Yaoyao step forward, Shen Yifeng’s aura suddenly decreased.
He was ready to act if necessary, allowing Su Jingzhen to be as arrogant as he wanted.
But now that Qiu Yaoyao had taken the initiative,
In his opinion, this matter had become a conflict between the powers of the Luo River Basin.
Although Qiu Yaoyao’s strength was indeed weaker than that of the Tortoise Sect Master, given her identity, the Tortoise Sect Master wouldn’t dare to harm her. Р𝓪
Therefore, Qiu Yaoyao had the ability to resolve the current issue.
Even whether the members of the Tortoise Sect would be able to escape unharmed was up to Shen Yifeng.
At this moment, he was content to watch the drama unfold.
After Qiu Yaoyao’s words, the Sect Master of the Tortoise Sect fell silent for a moment.
Then he calmly said, “It is impossible for the envoys of my Tortoise Sect to die so easily.
I know that he has agreed to join the Heavenly Dragon Race, but he hasn’t gone through your formal procedures yet.

He is just a potential member of the Heavenly Dragon Race. Besides, even if it was you who killed our Earth Tortoise Envoy, you still have to give an explanation.
I admit that the Tortoise Sect is indeed inferior to the Heavenly Dragon Race, but that doesn’t mean that the Tortoise Sect can be manipulated by the Heavenly Dragon Race at will.”
As he spoke, the Tortoise Sect master’s tone carried an inexplicable confidence.
His aura remained unchanged, but the pressure he exuded seemed to be even stronger.
Noticing this, Shen Yifeng, who had been relaxed, furrowed his brows again.
His right hand lightly tapped the Killing Sword in his embrace, and his spiritual energy began to circulate within him.
He was ready to strike at any moment.
Qiu Yaoyao, with her power at the late stage of the Unity Realm, could naturally sense the changes in the Tortoise Sect Master’s aura.
Her beautiful face showed a change in expression.
She had met the Tortoise Sect Master several times before, but she had never felt like this.
“Could it be that this old man has made a breakthrough during his seclusion?
Or has the Immovable Tortoise Seal been perfected through years of development?”
Qiu Yaoyao thought inwardly.
The energy within her body surged, ready to summon her contracted beast at any moment.
Only she, from the Heavenly Dragon Race, had come this time without any stronger figures.
She was also wary of a possible mishap.
After all, her arrogance was based on the Heavenly Dragon Race, and she was well aware that she might not be able to defeat the Master of the Tortoise Sect in a one-on-one fight.
But Qiu Yaoyao remained unyielding and said, “What kind of explanation do you want?
Or if I step aside today and let you kill Su Jingzhen, would you dare? Could you?”
As she spoke, Qiu Yaoyao’s tone was still full of mockery.
Her words undoubtedly revealed the most fundamental truth.
The Heavenly Dragon Race was right here, and whether the Tortoise Sect dared to retaliate was indeed a question.
After Qiu Yaoyao’s words, if the Master of the Tortoise Sect still decided to attack Su Jingzhen, it could be interpreted as the Tortoise Sect declaring war on the Heavenly Dragon Race.
If he dared to do so, even with his potential breakthrough or the perfected Immovable Tortoise Seal, which would propel the Tortoise Sect into the ranks of the top powers in the Luo River Basin, the Tortoise Sect would inevitably face annihilation.
After all, the Heavenly Dragon Race was the unrivaled powerhouse in the Luo River Basin.
Upon hearing this, the master of the Tortoise Sect was indeed silent once again.
Even though he was only facing Qiu Yaoyao, she was no ordinary disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Race.
Her words carried a lot of weight.
After pondering and deciding for a moment, the aura of the Master of the Tortoise Sect did not diminish in the slightest.
In fact, the pressure he exerted became even stronger.
“No matter what you say, today’s matter still needs to be resolved.
As I said before, the death of my Earth Tortoise Envoy cannot be in vain.”
As he spoke, his gaze was fixed on Su Jingzhen behind Shen Yifeng and Qiu Yaoyao.
His target was quite obvious.
Seeing this, Shen Yifeng’s eyebrows furrowed, and the energy within him circulated even faster.
At the same time, Qiu Yaoyao’s aura gradually turned cold.
The two dragon scales on her forehead glowed with a crimson light.
Her aura, at the late-stage Unity Realm, became increasingly sharp.
In her eyes, today might inevitably lead to a fierce battle.
“Senior Shen, let’s join forces,”
Qiu Yaoyao looked at Shen Yifeng and proactively suggested.
She knew that if she relied on herself alone, she would definitely be no match for the Master of the Tortoise Sect.
In order to succeed today, she would either have to resort to some ultimate measures of the Heavenly Dragon Race and call for stronger reinforcements, or join forces with Shen Yifeng.
Although they had no direct interactions with Shen Yifeng in the Luo River Basin, they were well aware of his unfathomable strength.
He only appeared to be at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul, but the power he could unleash was not to be underestimated.
Shen Yifeng’s lips curled into a smile as he silently nodded.
At that moment, the Master of the Tortoise Sect spoke again,
“Today I have no intention of fighting you to the death.
Whoever started this karma should pay for it.
I have a method here.
I did not see Su Jingzhen kill our Earth Turtle Envoy.
But it seems to be a fact that I have to acknowledge.
I have observed his bone age and found it to be under thirty.
Today, right here, under our supervision,
I am not asking for a fair fight between him and our Sky Tortoise Envoy. If he can last three rounds against our Divine Intent Realm disciples from the Tortoise Sect,
then this matter will be settled!”
After speaking, his gaze was fixed on Su Jingzhen: “One prerequisite, he cannot use any external powers!
He must rely solely on his own power!”
At that moment, the entire pressure of the Sect Master of the Tortoise Sect was focused on Su Jingzhen.
His gaze seemed to completely see through him.
He simply could not believe that a young man under the age of thirty, a Flesh Body Nascent Embryo Body Cultivator, could truly kill a Unity Realm Earth Tortoise Envoy with his own strength.
Based on what he had seen of Su Jingzhen’s own strength, it seemed doubtful that he could even handle the Divine Intent Realm disciples of the Tortoise Sect.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yifeng and Qiu Yaoyao’s brows furrowed once again.
For them, the peak of Su Jingzhen’s martial prowess that they had witnessed was during the battle at the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect.
At that time, Su Jingzhen’s best performance was merely to overwhelm Soul Formation level cultivators.
Even Shen Yifeng, his own master, was unsure whether Su Jingzhen, relying solely on Bloodthirst, could handle Divine Intent Realm opponents.
Qiu Yaoyao was even more unsure.
However, they both knew that if they agreed, the members of the Tortoise Sect would definitely go for the kill.
If Su Jingzhen was killed in such a formal competition due to inferior skills, the Heavenly Dragon Race would have no legitimate reason to cause trouble.
However, while the two of them were still in this dilemma, Su Jingzhen had already excitedly communicated his thoughts to Shen Yifeng.
“Master, I can handle this.
There’s no need for you to intervene.”
After saying this to Shen Yifeng, he didn’t wait for an answer.
He stepped forward directly.
His gaze was fixed on the Sect Master of the Tortoise Sect Master: “Sect Master , your proposal is somewhat unfair.
If I lose, I will certainly pay with my life, and if I win, your casual remark about ‘letting it go’ is too easy.”
The Sect Master of the Tortoise Sect frowned again: “What do you suggest?”
Su Jingzhen smiled: “If I win.
I don’t need the Tortoise Sect to do anything.
I just want to see what your sect’s ancestral turtle looks like.”
