"I hand over the ancestral weapon fragnts to you, but you still won’t spare these hundred thousand people, so why should I bother?" Xiang Beifei said in a deep voice.
"Kid, I don’t have the leisure to waste ti with you. If you don’t agree, I’ll kill one by one right in front of you until you comply!" Houtu proclaid coldly.
"You kill one, I will eradicate two of your tribe! Kill two, I will eradicate four! Unless the Houtu Tribe stays hidden in Shezheng City for a lifeti, otherwise, whoever cos out, I will slay them! Let’s see if you can stop my revenge!"
Xiang Beifei was also filled with murderous intent.
He was never one to suffer a loss!
This trade was disadvantageous to him; even if he agreed, more people would die in the future.
"Then try it!"
Houtu’s shadow burst into golden light, charging towards one of the Jiuzhou people’s systems.
That was a young man with a panic-stricken expression, an SR-level System Awakener, staring fearfully at his system interface, not understanding why his system suddenly turned pitch black, almost obscuring all information!
The black breath was slowly devouring his system.
"Thoughts drifting, grudges lingering, only when ho can they rest. The city empty, man leaning on the tower."
At this mont, a lancholy sigh echoed through the air.
Daoist Kongcheng had no spiritual power fluctuations, yet his lancholic voice spread far, gently rippling, seemingly causing the surrounding void to beco lancholy.
Buzz!
In the void, the Jiuzhou young man’s system, which Houtu was erasing, stopped its corrosion, as if an unknown force forcibly suppressed the system’s corrosion.
Houtu’s overpowering might seed ineffective under Daoist Kongcheng’s wistful voice.
"Daoist Kongcheng, it’s you again!"
Houtu angrily turned his attention to the middle-aged man in white on the city wall.
Daoist Kongcheng smiled wryly: "I’m just an observer."
"Since you’re an observer, you should mind your own business, not interfere in this situation!" Houtu shouted.
"Those in the ga are confused, observers are clear."
Daoist Kongcheng continued to smile wryly.
"I thought you said you didn’t like to ddle."
Houtu clearly knew Daoist Kongcheng well.
Daoist Kongcheng shook his head slightly: "I never ddled in anyone’s ga, it’s you who brought the ga to ."
"I did not invite you into the ga actively; it’s that human race thief who chose to set the ga here, and you did not refuse him!" Houtu shouted.
"Visitors are guests, I never refuse anyone. You’re welco to visit if you wish." Daoist Kongcheng said.
"Hmph, you think I’m a fool!"
Houtu seed wary of that ragged city.
Though the bricks on the city wall were cracked and gray, he never intended to enter this city.
"Retreat a step and the horizon is vast."
Daoist Kongcheng murmured with profound sadness.
His voice remained so despondent, making people feel hope is out of reach.
Houtu’s might suddenly surged, seemingly resisting these eerie sounds.
Soon, his shadow appeared to dim a bit.
"Do you really want to intervene in this matter?" Houtu asked resentfully.
"I’m only an observer."
Daoist Kongcheng still wore a face of lancholy.
Houtu’s aura restlessly surged again.
But after a minute, his aura gradually cald down and he coldly said to Xiang Beifei:
"Fine, I’ll step back! The tripodal cauldron, the sword body, the bricks, the items originally belonging to the human race, I can return them all, and I won’t touch those hundred thousand people. You just need to hand over the two intact ancestral weapon fragnts to ; they must be complete fragnts, I don’t want you to use any tricks to break a piece apart."
Giant Spirit Dao and Forgotten Heavenly Dao, Houtu would never relent, as the threat Father Pu brought was too great; Houtu would not give himself trouble.
Xiang Beifei glanced at Daoist Kongcheng in surprise.
During this minute, Daoist Kongcheng hadn’t spoken; he was just constantly sighing, but it seed his sighing made Houtu wary.
But Xiang Beifei didn’t hesitate: "Bring the Humanity Dao ancestral weapon body as well."
"That’s not part of the deal." Houtu replied coldly.
"If you don’t retrieve the Humanity Dao ancestral weapon fragnt, then what’s the use of retrieving the tripodal cauldron? You could still use the Humanity Dao ancestral weapon fragnt to exterminate us. Do you think I will trade the lives of all people for those hundred thousand?" Xiang Beifei said.
Houtu coldly responded: "The Humanity Dao ancestral weapon fragnt is not in my hands! Otherwise, do you really think your Human Race would have survived until now? But I can tell you it’s at the world’s end! As a sign of good will in the trade, I can even tell you that your parents are there too."
Xiang Beifei couldn’t confirm matters regarding the Humanity Dao ancestral weapon.
He turned enquiringly towards Daoist Kongcheng.
Daoist Kongcheng smiled helplessly: "Agree to it."
"Alright, it’s decided then. But I have one more requirent, I need the tripodal cauldron’s complete fragnt as well!" Xiang Beifei said.
"The tripodal cauldron is inherently incomplete!" Wu Zhejiu scoffed.
"Years ago, you deliberately cut a small fragnt from the tripodal cauldron thinking I wouldn’t know?" Xiang Beifei said.
Wu Zhejiu felt quite astonished.
At that ti, this act was spur of the mont, but very few knew of it; how did this guy find out?
Wu Zhejiu sought Houtu’s guidance, and Houtu said: "Fine, as you wish! We will give you what you want, but don’t try any tricks!"
Xiang Beifei said: "First, remove all the protective traps of the ancestral weapon at Common Valley, then let your cultivators leave Common Valley; if I see any Ancestral Dao Realm master, any Heavenly Dao Law, the deal stops!"
"Okay." Houtu said.
Xiang Beifei didn’t move; he turned to ask the seated Daoist Kongcheng: "Senior, can you visit near Common Valley?"
Daoist Kongcheng sighed slightly.
"That place carries too much sorrow."
He lanted but didn’t refuse; the ragged city slightly trembled and disappeared, reappearing near Common Valley.
"Xiaohei, go take a look." Xiang Beifei instructed secretly.
"Understood."
Xiaohei imdiately took the Spirit Gathering Book and headed towards Common Valley, always maintaining contact with Xiang Beifei.
Houtu indeed played no tricks; he cleared all Ancestral Dao Realm masters from Common Valley, withdrew those heavenly powers, and the sword body and tripodal cauldron were there, unguarded.
Wu Zhejiu returned the fragnt he cut from the tripodal cauldron to Xiang Beifei, and Xiang Beifei threw the copper block fragnt to Wu Zhejiu, but he still kept half the jade.
In Common Valley, the damaged ancestral weapon, without all fragnts, can’t be removed, so Xiaohei had to personally bring the ancestral weapon fragnts inside first to take this thing out.
Xiang Beifei vigilantly watched over from Daoist Kongcheng’s side.
Soon, fierce turbulence resounded from Common Valley, roaring sounds echoing, earth-shattering sounds reverberating out, transmitting strong and fearso aura.
Wufeng and the tripodal cauldron had beco complete!
Buzz!
The aura of two ancestral weapons soared into the sky, but vanished swiftly just a mont later.
"I stored them in the Spirit Gathering Book," Xiaohei shouted.
"Good, return first." Xiang Beifei said.
Houtu was coldly watching Xiang Beifei and said: "You have taken Wufeng and the tripodal cauldron, what about the other fragnt?"
"What about the bricks?" Xiang Beifei said.
A faint gray light shimred in the void, and the fifth brick appeared out of nowhere.
Xiang Beifei’s eyes lit up.
He carefully examined the fifth brick to ensure it was unhard without any trickery, then brought out the half jade.
"I’m an observer, the most reliable observer." Daoist Kongcheng smiled wryly.
His aning was clear, he could guarantee Houtu wouldn’t act against Xiang Beifei mid-negotiation, preventing any mishaps in the trade.
Swish! Swish!
The brick and half jade passed by each other in the air.
Xiang Beifei seized the fifth brick.
The Five Pieces of Stone were finally assembled!
