Chapter 1163: 【865】The murderer of the uncle becos a lifesaver? (Second update, vote for monthly ticket)
Wei Donglai was secretly annoyed.
He had been talking until his mouth was dry, and yet, the kid still appeared utterly indifferent.
Once that demoness actually frees up her ti, he feared death might be more likely than survival!
In a hurried and reduced voice, he urgently said, “I really didn’t deceive Your Excellency, but since Your Excellency wants to know, then I’ll tell you… however, ti is of the essence, so to keep it short, the Artifact Spirit of the True Ice Tower had also seen my ancestors, I only need to reveal my own bloodline, and naturally, I can gain its recognition, at which point I am confident I can ensure Your Excellency’s safety.”
“You want the inheritance of the Nine Ice Ascendant, don’t you?” Pei Jinye said aningfully.
Wei Donglai’s face changed drastically.
He let out a bitter laugh: “If you were in my place, wouldn’t you be tempted? However, the prerequisite for wanting the inheritance is being able to survive the hands of that demoness.”
“What does that have to do with ?” Pei Jinye said, amused.
At a ti like this, this Wei kid is still unwilling to offer any benefits.
Not sure what he is thinking, treating everyone like fools.
Wei Donglai clenched his teeth as if understanding his intention, and with a bitter laugh, said, “To be frank, I do want the inheritance, the hopes of the Wei Family all rest on … but whether I can convince the Artifact Spirit here to let obtain the inheritance, I really have no confidence. However, I can promise that if Your Excellency lends a helping hand, I can share with you insights about the Array Formation of the Nine Ice Ascendant!”
Seeing Pei Jinye show so interest, he promptly said sincerely, “I am only thirty years old, yet I was able to cultivate my Formation skills to such a realm, largely because I obtained the Array mastery from the Nine Ice Ascendant…”
“Tell about the Formation insights first,” Pei Jinye said with a cold face.
Wei Donglai was annoyed deep down, but due to the situation, he could only quickly divulge so content. As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, staring at Pei Jinye and said, “Your Excellency is also a Matrix Controller; surely you can tell the authenticity of what I’ve just shared. Forgive for not being able to reveal the latter part now, I only need Your Excellency’s helping hand.”
Pei Jinye remained silent.
Wei Donglai felt both shocked and angry: “You still don’t trust ?”
But then he suddenly froze.
After Pei Jinye covertly gestured to him, Wei Donglai’s expression turned both shocked and delighted, nodding repeatedly.
…
“Who’s there? Co out!”
The man who was entangled with the woman in the black dress had his expression darken; retracting his hand, he recalled the Giant Sword and scanned the entrance with a piercing gaze.
“Heh heh, what a coincidence to encounter so many masters in such a place, it’s just a pity to waste this Inheritance Land. Why not sit down and have a proper talk, who dares to say they can monopolize this inheritance?”
At the entrance, a figure flashed past.
A young man dressed in nightwalker clothes let out a chuckle and said.
He seed not to fear the woman in the black dress and the strong man with the Giant Sword, and instead looked at them with interest.
“It’s you!” The strong man with the Giant Sword apparently recognized the newcor, his eyes revealing a wary look: “Ye Xing Shusheng Liu Feiyu!”
The young man showed a confused expression but continued with a smile: “You recognize ? That makes things easier. The True Ice Tower of the Nine Ice Ascendant is right in front of us. Why should we fight and kill each other when we can sit down and talk instead? The inheritance of the Nine Ice Ascendant is inside; fighting and killing outside would only be a waste of ti… and as far as I know, the people from Eternal Night are on their way here.”
Upon hearing this, the strong man with the Giant Sword instantly displayed urgency on his face.
He did not want to be targeted by Eternal Night.
Without saying anything else.
He turned and charged towards the Stone Building.
Ye Xing Shusheng Liu Feiyu just smiled faintly, turned his head towards the woman in the black dress and asked, “Your Excellency is quite skilled, would you be interested in joining forces?”
The woman in the black dress only huffed coldly and turned towards where Pei Jinye was.
Liu Feiyu watched her departing back, his eyes flickering slightly; he too entered the Stone Building.
…
“What should we do?”
The woman in the black dress asked Pei Jinye in a low voice.
Next to them, Wei Donglai was shocked, lifting his head incredulously to look at Pei Jinye.
How could he have imagined that the woman, who was ruthless in killing, would actually turn to this self-claid hostage for advice?
The one usually being asked tends to be the leader.
This… if you’re the main hub, why didn’t you say so earlier!!!
Wei Donglai was shaking all over.
Because he knew he had told Pei Jinye his escape plan.
If he so much as ntions it, the demoness would surely kill him.
But the words that Pei Jinye spoke next left him confused again.
“You brought here as your hostage, now you’re asking what to do?” Pei Jinye seed genuinely a bit angry.
The woman in the black dress lifted her hand.
With a “slap,” the sound of a crisp slap echoed.
Wei Donglai, clutching his face in disbelief, looked up.
The woman in the black dress said coldly, “I don’t like the look in your eyes. If you want to live, behave yourself!”
Wei Donglai nodded repeatedly.
But he harbored extre resentnt in his heart.
He wished he could let the Artifact Spirit kill this despicable woman once they entered.
He glanced at Pei Jinye without a trace.
Pei Jinye subtly signaled him to stay calm and collected.
Seeing this, Wei Donglai’s anger subsided a bit, and he fell silent, bowing his head.
The woman then threw him in front and said, “You walk in front. I know you’re good with formations. If there are any formation situations inside, you’ll find a way to solve them for .”
Before Wei Donglai could say anything, he heard the demon head woman harshly say to Pei Jinye, “Don’t you stand idle either. If he dares to make a move, kill him! And if you dare to deceive with him, I’ll kill you both!”
She passed over a sword.
Pei Jinye took it reluctantly.
Wei Donglai trembled all over, looking at Pei Jinye with desperation.
Pei Jinye again made a gesture of reassurance to him in secret.
“What are you looking at? Hurry up!” the woman in the black dress said ferociously.
Wei Donglai ca to his senses begrudgingly and led the two into the True Ice Tower, yet in his heart, he was contemplating his next move.
Upon entering the Stone Building, the space suddenly opened up.
Pei Jinye also looked astonished.
He had not expected that the True Ice Tower, in the absence of a master, had autonomously evolved into a separate space.
Layers of stairs wound their way up, seemingly endless, with no end in sight.
A faint cold wind blew.
“Where are the people?”
The woman in the black dress suddenly noticed the absence of the man with the Giant Sword and Liu Feiyu; at first, she was a bit anxious, but then her heart sank after a mont.
Not far away was a small pool of water.
Next to the pool lay a corpse, face down, with a tal bookmark over a dozen centiters long stabbed into the back of its head, pinning it to the ground.
“Ah!”
Wei Donglai was so frightened that he tumbled and rolled away.
This brought disdain from the woman in the black dress, but she recognized the identity of the person—it was the man with the Giant Sword she had fought with before.
The Silver Giant Sword was nowhere to be seen.
“Scholars are really cunning!” the woman in the black dress said with a cold face.
Pei Jinye thoughtfully looked towards the pool.
Clearly, soone had been there and picked through it again.
But he noticed Wei Donglai making a subtle move while laying on the ground.
It’s just that the technique was a bit immature…
“Hurry up!”
The woman in the black dress urged.
Wei Donglai shakily got up, sneaking a small item into his sleeve, and when he looked up and saw Pei Jinye’s teasing gaze, his expression stiffened before he nodded earnestly and hurriedly walked ahead.
But the woman in the black dress suddenly muttered, “I always feel this kid is up to no good. Maybe I should just kill him now?”
Upon hearing this, Wei Donglai was so terrified that he nearly passed out but instead hurriedly knelt towards the woman in the black dress, kowtowing and begging for rcy.
Pei Jinye coughed, “With him here, the pressure on is lighter. Constantly breaking through formations is too exhausting, and he’s still of so use.”
The woman in the black dress silently stared at the two n.
Then, impatiently waving her hand, she said, “Then get up and hurry!”
Wei Donglai looked at Pei Jinye with gratitude, then got up and led the two toward the Main Inheritance Hub.
