As this figure approached step by step, his body was surrounded by an endless Immortal Qi, space fractured, and cracks appeared one after another on the deck beneath his feet.
"You are one of the few who dares to openly challenge our Ancient Nether," the shadow said looking at Xu Zii, speaking indifferently.
"I am rather curious, which one of the Ten Halls Yamas are you?" Xu Zii asked with a smile.
"King Qinyou," the shadow’s voice replied in a deep tone.
He slowly lifted his head, his face was excessively pale, covered with purple stripes that looked like so kind of ancient curse mark.
"Let everyone else leave, we shall talk alone," Xu Zii said composedly.
King Qinyou chuckled lightly and replied, "I do not understand where you get your confidence from. Let your Monster Beast at the Divine Vein Realm co out."
If that is your trump card, it is still not qualified to negotiate with ."
Xu Zii chuckled lightly, and a sky full of Demonic Qi condensed in the air.
At this mont, King Qinyou only felt as if he was being targeted by so ancient existence, feeling imnse terror within that Demonic Qi.
Spiritual Energy surged around King Qinyou’s body, he snorted coldly looking at the Demonic Qi without saying a word.
"I think you are mistaken," Xu Zii said with a smile: "Negotiating with you is a sign of respect from .
If I did not value the power of your Ancient Nether, you alone would not have the qualifications."
Hearing Xu Zii’s words, King Qinyou did not retort this ti, as he could sense the terror within that Demonic Qi.
He waved his hands lightly, and the hundred figures surrounding them also retreated, disappearing into the darkness.
The evening breeze blew over the river surface, and the once halted ship set off again on its journey.
"What do you want to talk about?" King Qinyou stood on the deck, asking indifferently.
"Have you heard of Burial Buddha Temple?" Xu Zii asked.
"One of the Ten Great Forbidden Lands, famous indeed," King Qinyou’s gaze slightly condensed, then he replied indifferently.
"I need sothing inside of it," Xu Zii said.
"What does that have to do with us?"
"Don’t you need sothing from there as well?" Xu Zii turned his head, looking at King Qinyou.
The Chaos Pearl had previously taken him into the River of Fate, where he had witnessed the evolution of many things.
Among them were the past events related to Ancient Nether.
"How do you know that?" King Qinyou’s expression changed slightly, then he asked indifferently.
"That’s not important," Xu Zii shook his head and said, "How about it? Let’s cooperate."
"No need, Ancient Nether will get what we want by ourselves," King Qinyou replied with a cold huff.
"If this were before the era of Wild Desolation, I would believe you have the capability," Xu Zii retorted, "But now? How many of the so-called Ten Halls Yamas are left?
And how much combat strength do you still possess?"
Upon hearing Xu Zii’s words, King Qinyou fell silent for a short while but still responded evenly, "That is not for you to concern yourself with.
We do not need allies, just as we once stood alone against the Three Clans in the era of Wild Desolation."
"I am just giving you a suggestion, you can think about it when you go back," Xu Zii said with a light smile, "Before I find a new ally, my offer remains open."
"If you are here just for this matter, I think there is nothing more to discuss between us," King Qinyou turned away, his gaze indifferent as he replied.
"You yourself know how important that artifact is to you," Xu Zii smiled and said, "Besides, there’s no enmity between us, so why not go for a win-win situation!"
"You’ve seized the results of our Ancient Nether’s million years of research," King Qinyou said indifferently.
"It’s not exactly seizing, it’s sharing," Xu Zii responded with a smile before turning and walking into the cabin, "Go back and think it over."
Watching Xu Zii’s retreating figure, King Qinyou pondered for a long while and eventually, his figure slowly vanished into the darkness.
......
A night without words passed, and when the warm sunlight shone on the steamship, the few remaining people onboard cautiously erged.
Apart from Xu Zii and Xiao Guizi, the only others were the couple from Wuhua Mountain and Yao Shengnan.
All the mbers of the Yuan Family had been slaughtered. The corpses in the cabin lay conspicuously still, their congealed blood emitting waves of rotten stench and bloodiness.
"Thank you, young brother, for saving our lives," Sect Leader of Wuhua Mountain, Wu Qianjun, promptly bowed in gratitude to Xu Zii.
If it weren’t for Xu Zii’s protection last night, they probably would have ended up like those from the Yuan Family, now cold corpses lying on the ground.
"Even without , they wouldn’t have killed you," Xu Zii said with a smile in return.
"Are you associated with Ancient Nether?" Yao Shengnan asked faintly.
"Whether I am or not, I don’t need to explain to you," Xu Zii replied.
"Ancient Nether is the enemy of all races, you should understand that," Yao Shengnan said.
"Never trust what your eyes see, it can deceive you," Xu Zii said shaking his head with a smile, "The so-called truth you believe in is just history written by the victors.
As for the accuracy of real history, it has long been buried in the dust of ti."
"I believe in what you said before," Yao Shengnan paused, then continued.
"What did I say?" Xu Zii inquired.
"That you have the capability to destroy an Imperial Rule Immortal Sect," Yao Shengnan replied deliberately.
"How about this? We collaborate. You help exterminate the Imperial Rule Immortal Sect, and I’ll give you the precise location of the Tree of Life."
"Now it’s your turn to present evidence that I can trust," Xu Zii smiled and said.
"I am from the Heaven Clan, as you probably have guessed," Yao Shengnan’s eyes fixed on the river’s surface as she spoke calmly, "In our clan, there is a mother leaf of the Tree of Life; with this mother leaf and the special Teleportation Array of the Heaven Clan, one can reach the Tree of Life."
"That’s not very convincing," Xu Zii shook his head slightly.
"I brought the mother leaf with when I left the clan and hid it in a secret place," Yao Shengnan said indifferently, "I can give you the mother leaf first."
"Aren’t you afraid I won’t keep my word?" Xu Zii asked with a smile.
"Yes, I am. That’s why I will only give you the mother leaf," Yao Shengnan replied, "After you’ve destroyed that Imperial Rule Immortal Sect, then I will teach you the unique Teleportation Array.
Otherwise, this mother leaf is just a useless leaf in your hands.
And don’t even think about inquiring about the Formation with other Heaven Clan people."
After a long silence, Yao Shengnan’s voice turned hoarse, "Because now, I’m the only one left of the entire Heaven Clan."
"So, it’s the Imperial Rule Immortal Sect that exterminated your clan, and that’s why you want to seek revenge against them?" Xu Zii smiled.
"Will you help, or not?" Yao Shengnan fixed her eyes on Xu Zii, asking plainly.
In that calmly restrained gaze, Xu Zii still managed to detect a hint of longing.
