Chapter 1069: Poison-dipped Cold Bead

Sigma_ SSins

The control center of the battleship.

The arched ceiling of this cabin had been inlaid with a lot of seven-colored gemstones. Each gemstone represented a life star in Shadow Ghostly Prison. The distances between the gems represented each star鈥檚 related location in the galaxy. This was an exquisite and precise star map that the Fighting League had spent a lot of money to buy from Potion and Tool Pavilion.

The magnificent star map hung above the two gorgeous women in this room. The two of them sat down opposite each other. Their eyes sparkled with strange lights.

"Before the Divine Light has arrived in Shadow Ghostly Prison, we鈥檝e received the news from Second Elder of Potion and Tool Pavilion that confirmed that the Dark Shadow Clan had left." Zi Yao smiled warmly and spoke casually, "Well, it鈥檚 like when the tree is down. Everyone jumps on it with their axes. Anyway, we use power to talk in Shadow Ghostly Prison. Xia xiao-mei, I think you understand the Divine Light鈥檚 operation here. We take the chance and jump in. Well, it鈥檚 similar to your Fighting League鈥檚 operations though."

Xia Xin Yan frowned. She didn鈥檛 oppose because she knew that Zi Yao was right.

In their peak of glory, the Fighting League had fought here and there in Shadow Ghostly Prison. They used force to threaten the weak. They had many tricks that couldn鈥檛 be said frank and upright. Well, they were despicable, indeed.

She didn鈥檛 have the right to mock Divine Light鈥檚 operation here.

"My senior Sana鈥檚 in charge of this operation. I鈥檓 just a visitor." Zi Yao laughed and then spoke to Xia Xin Yan gently. "But I can help you get out of here."

Xia Xin Yan was surprised. She looked bewildered for a while, her mouth pulling into a strange smile. "You鈥檙e a member of the Divine Light, but you鈥檙e kind enough to help me? Tell me, what do you want? You should know I鈥檓 not easy to fool. Don鈥檛 hide your real intentions."

"Haha," Zi Yao giggled and spoke with a lazy complexion, "Divine Light wants to exchange you for half of the Dark Shadow Clan鈥檚 territories. Those territories are the richest lands of the Dark Shadow Clan. Oh, right. Before I came here, I got news that Hegemon Feng Han has agreed with this. He has sent Miao Rong and his Water Moon War Department. Oh, your Hegemon is generous, indeed. You have a good master."

Xia Xin Yan鈥檚 countenance was natural.

"You don鈥檛 think it鈥檚 weird?" Zi Yao was surprised.

"No," Xia Xin Yan smiled gently and spoke naturally, "When will Miao Rong arrive?"

"I estimate that it will take one month. He brings the hand-written letter from Feng Han. It鈥檚 the comprehensive treaty. That letter will give us a lot of land without the need to fight for them. Those lands... should belong to the Fighting League though."

Zi Yao focused on her and spoke tenderly, "If you agree with me one thing, I can let you leave discreetly. I鈥檓 sure when Sana recognizes it, you guys are all safe. What do you think?"

"You tell me." Xia Xin Yan frowned and suddenly became serious.

It鈥檚 a one-clause agreement that could help save many lands. Xia Xin Yan thought it would be too big for her to be able to make the deal.

"It鈥檚 simple." Zi Yao smiled happily, her bright eyes squinting. "You just need to leave him."

"Who?" Xia Xin Yan was baffled.

"You know who." Zi Yao replied gently. Her eyes sparkled strangely. She took a deep breath as she was actually anxious.

Xia Xin Yan鈥檚 face stiffened. She kept silent as she was pondering. After a while, her eyes became colder. She screamed, "I reject it."

She got the answer.

When Zi Yao arrived, her beautiful eyes had suddenly scanned through the crowd, searching for someone. After she got on the deck of this battleship, she had checked every random area. Apparently, she was looking for someone. At the critical moment, Shi Yan disappeared. Linking these two events, she understood it.

The smile on Zi Yao鈥檚 face narrowed. She said earnestly, "It can save your Fighting League a big fortune this time. Is he worth you holding on?"

"Well, needless to say, half of the territories of the Dark Shadow Clan. Even if you guys ask the Hegemon for all, he will agree. However, even if you do that, I won鈥檛 leave him because of this or because of your words."

Xia Xin Yan looked totally relaxed. She smiled lovingly, "Well, if you use this method to force me, I think he hasn鈥檛 established any relationship with you, right? Ah ha! It makes me curious then. You鈥檙e so beautiful and he鈥檚 a lustful bastard. Well, he hasn鈥檛 done anything to you, right? Could you tell me what has happened? It鈥檚 not what he would do."

Since Zi Yao had come here, she had always taken the upper hand. However, what Xia Xin Yan told her had put her into a lower position. She gritted her teeth as she mumbled, "It鈥檚 because he has known you earlier. Or else, he would have kneeled under my dress!"

"So, it has not happened yet, right?" Xia Xin Yan smiled meaningfully. Her beautiful eyes twinkled. She stood up with the bright countenance of a winner.

Zi Yao felt like she had failed. She pondered for a while and then stood up. She spoke casually, "Never mind. If we can鈥檛 talk to each other into this, I will take him with my abilities. It鈥檚 my warning to you just in case you say that I鈥檓 forcing you."

"No no no," Xia Xin Yan smiled until her eyes squinted. "Come and steal him. I like competing with people a lot. Especially when my rival is at your level. Oh just thinking about it makes my blood boil. Okay, I will shut my mouth. I will say nothing about what happened today between us. Just consider this as a little chit-chat. What do you think?"

"You read my mind," Zi Yao looked at her and sighed. She knew that this rival was extremely tough. Compared to the characters she had met, she was much tougher.

Thinking about competing for a man against this sort of opponent, she had a headache. However, thinking about that man, she couldn鈥檛 help it.

That bastard! Why do you have to hide? Am I that frightening? Or are you afraid of seeing the fight between your lover and me? Asshole!

She was cursing him under her breath. When Zi Yao鈥檚 and Xia Xin Yan鈥檚 eyes locked, the two pairs of beautiful eyes seemed to send sparks into the air. They immediately left the control center, their faces even brighter and happier. They looked like two sisters who had just had a good talk. They made the warriors of Fighting League and Divine Light wear awkward complexions.

"Mei-mei..." Sana frowned. He looked as if he wanted to say something.

He was worried that Zi Yao and Xia Xin Yan鈥檚 talk would stand in the way of Divine Light鈥檚 big plan. He didn鈥檛 know what to do now.

"Miss Xia and I couldn鈥檛 talk it through." Zi Yao opened her hand and she said with a smile, "So, you should do what you need to do. I won鈥檛 interfere."

Sana and the Divine Light warriors exhaled in relief.

"Miss Xia, Miao Rong will arrive in one month. After we get the letter from him, we will let you go," said Sana coldly. He immediately escorted Zi Yao together with the other experts and left.

Xia Xin Yan didn鈥檛 look dispirited. Quite the contrary, she looked as if she had won a big game. She was even a little content.

Her subordinates also didn鈥檛 understand. They sighed that the world of women was truly something men couldn鈥檛 reason. They could never know what the two beautiful women had just discussed.

--------------------

In the secret chamber of the battleship, Shi Yan was sitting cross-legged on a jade platform. However, it was just his empty body. His soul seemed to leave his body to a fairyland. At this moment, he didn鈥檛 have a bit of life energy surging.

When Zi Yao came, he had tried his best to avoid because he didn鈥檛 want to meet Zi Yao at this moment. He didn鈥檛 want to see Zi Yao and Xia Xin Yan have any dispute. Anyway, he didn鈥檛 know that this dispute still happened.

Shi Yan knew Feng Han of Fighting League would agree with Divine Light鈥檚 conditions because Feng Han had taken care of Xia Xin Yan and protected her as his blood sister. He also knew that if Zi Yao knew how Shi Yan cared about Xia Xin Yan, she would hurt her.

At most, they would complicate the conditions in the treaty between Fighting League and Divine Light. No matter what, Xia Xin Yan鈥檚 life wouldn鈥檛 be threatened.

With this premise, Shi Yan didn鈥檛 mind the competition between the Divine Light and Fighting League regarding the Dark Shadow Clan鈥檚 territories that much.

He was carefree enough to let his soul enter the fountainhead of power Upanishad.

There, he received signals of Fires power Upanishad and his two souls found the life energy fluctuations of Xuan Fei.

His souls moved forward and sent her his soul message from a distance, "I鈥檓 here to explain to you."

"Despicable!" Seeing him, Xuan Fei was enraged. She spoke resentfully, "To solve your problem, my master and I had to cross the border to get into Agate Star Area. My master had to stop her cultivation too. She had to consume a lot of energy to refine the Departed Spirit Jellyfish. Well, you鈥檙e good. You didn鈥檛 do anything and you took in the essence soul of the Departed Spirit Jellyfish. It was the Poison-dipped Cold Bead. You didn鈥檛 even signal us. You鈥檇 planned it earlier, hadn鈥檛 you?"

Shi Yan beamed a forced smile. "It was unexpected. It... it鈥檚 called Poison-dipped Cold Bead?"

After he had absorbed the soul gossamers of the Departed Spirit Jellyfish, he did have an inky bead in his soul. That bead was cold and it contained magical soul energy fluctuations. However, he didn鈥檛 know why it was magical. Listening to Xuan Fei, Shi Yan knew that the bead was called Poison-dipped Cold Bead.

"Unexpected?" Xuan Fei鈥檚 small face was filled with disdain. "If it was unexpected, you should return the bead to my master, so we can trust you again."

It was beyond Xuan Fei鈥檚 estimation that Shi Yan chuckled and nodded. "I鈥檓 here to tell you and your teacher that if you have free time, come and take that poison-dipped bead. I can鈥檛 bring it to the fountainhead of power Upanishad and I don鈥檛 have free time to come to your place. So, I would ask for your labor to come here once again."

Xuan Fei was surprised. "Are you serious?"

Shi Yan smiled and confirmed it.

"My master said that the Poison-dipped Cold Bead is the condensed soul of the Departed Spirit Jellyfish. It can gather extremely toxic poisons in the world and release toxic smokes. Besides, it was the source of energy so as the jellyfish could live in the cold Yin sea. It鈥檚 much more useful to the warriors who have fused with heaven flames like us. If we have the Poison-dipped Cold Bead in our soul while cultivating, we won鈥檛 be backfired or fall into bedevilment. The heaven flames wouldn鈥檛 be able to burn our body and soul. You also know that warriors with heaven flames like us will be burned into ashes when we fall into bedevilment. The usage of the Poison-dipped Cold Bead can prevent it. It鈥檚 really precious. Do you really want to return it to us?"

Xuan Fei was suspicious.

"Yeah, I came here this time to ask you to tell your master. When she has free time, please come to take the Poison-dipped Cold Bead. It belongs to her."

"Okay, I will tell her."

"Okay. I have to go now. Goodbye."

Shi Yan smiled and left the area of Fires power Upanishads. His souls flashed and then faded away as his figured disappeared.
