At this moment, the mana fluctuations that erupted from Norfeller's body had already reached the strength of a middle-rank Sanctuary powerhouse after his rebirth. The blood-colored clouds that kept rolling around its body dyed the entire space red, making the Ice Phoenix's body look as if it had been splashed with blood.
Seeing such a scene, the people of the Gilded Kingdom also knew that there was nothing they could do to stop the advancement of the vampire now. Saint Edmund was able to let go of things easily. He pointed the scepter in his hand forward, and said, "What are you waiting for? Get down to business, end the battle as soon as possible."
With Edmund's order, High Priest Poer and Elder Zumar dared not delay, and immediately began to attack the Ice Phoenix again. At the same time, Norfeller from the Tower of Dusk also immediately plunged into the battle with his companions after the mana fluctuations stabilized.
Norfeller, who had successfully stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, was no less powerful than any middle-rank Sanctuary powerhouse. In particular, there was the bloodline power of the Ice Phoenix in his power. Hence, he was even more adept at dealing with the Ice Phoenix. When he waved his hand, a strong ray of sanguine light would immediately corrode a deep wound on the Ice Phoenix's body. Besides, during the battle, blood was continuously gushing out of the Ice Phoenix's body uncontrollably, turning into balls of blood that fell into Norfeller's World of Blood.
Even though the Ice Phoenix was already at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, and had even comprehended a trace of the mysteries of the realm of the gods, it still could not withstand the siege of so many Sanctuary powerhouses. After all, it had yet to truly step into the realm of the gods, and was far from being able to view Sanctuary powerhouses as insignificant ants.
Finally, after a few hours of fierce battle, the Ice Phoenix, which had lost a lot of blood and was covered in wounds, let out a wail before falling to the ground like a meteor.
"Honorable Master, your servant has a request, and I wonder if you can agree to it." As soon as the battle ended, Ujfalusi approached Lin Li, and spoke in a voice full of desire.
Lin Li was learning about the abilities that he had obtained from Norfeller through their mental connection. After hearing Ujfalusi's words, he nodded, and calmly said, "What's the matter?"
"Honorable Master, I hope to obtain the corpse of the Ice Phoenix so that I can improve my strength and serve you better." Seeing that Norfeller had already stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, but he was still stuck in the Legendary-realm, Ujfalusi was naturally very anxious. Hence, he focused his attention on the corpse of the Ice Phoenix.
Ujfalusi only began to follow Lin Li after Norfeller was defeated by him in a battle. Even though he was not willing to be Lin Li's servant in the beginning, and had only signed the Soul Contract under the threat of death, Lin Li was still a Soul Contract. However, as he followed Lin Li and began to taste some benefits, he no longer had to hide and be on tenterhooks like before. Hence, he no longer felt conflicted about his identity as a servant.
Moreover, although Ujfalusi's Humerus Domain was destroyed by Lin Li's Holy Light during the battle with Ujfalusi, causing his strength to fall from the Legendary-realm, he was still a Legendary. At that time, his strength, together with the Legendary-level Crimson Wyrm, was still much stronger than Norfeller. He could definitely be considered Lin Li's top fighter.
However, at some point, Ujfalusi discovered that his position as Lin Li's top fighter was gradually getting further and further away from him. As the level of the battle increased, some of the methods that were originally lethal had lost their effect. For example, the Death Vortex that could summon an endless army of Undead creatures was now useless in the face of a Sanctuary powerhouse.
Without sufficient strength, he would not be qualified to follow Lin Li on an adventure, and if he couldn't, he wouldn't be able to obtain more treasures that could improve his strength. If he couldn't improve his strength, he wouldn't even be qualified to go on an adventure. That was a circle, and Ujfalusi felt like he was falling into it. This could be considered his last chance. If he still couldn't increase his strength to a certain level, he probably wouldn't have a share in anything in the future.
Logically speaking, the Tower of Dusk's team and the Gilded Kingdom's team were now considered to be in a temporary partnership. On the other hand, Norfeller had already sucked the blood of the Ice Phoenix, so the corpse of the Ice Phoenix should be given to the Gilded Kingdom's team. That was actually considered a tacit understanding in the cooperation.
Ujfalusi was also aware of that. After all, it wasn't the time to fall out with the Gilded Kingdom, so he couldn't break the tacit understanding. However, the corpse of the Ice Phoenix was too tempting to him. It was not only the corpse of a prehistoric magical beast, but also a corpse that contained a trace of the aura of a god.
Ujfalusi had a feeling that the opportunity for him to step into the Sanctuary-realm would most likely lie in the corpse of the Ice Phoenix. If he could really obtain the corpse of the Ice Phoenix and fuse it with the Humerus Wyrm Crimson, not only would the strength of the Humerus Wyrm Crimson increase by leaps and bounds, but he would also definitely obtain unimaginable benefits as the summoner.
It was precisely because of that consideration that Ujfalusi mustered the courage to make his request to Lin Li even though he knew that things were difficult. Of course, after making the request, he was also rather perturbed. After all, he wasn't asking Lin Li for an item, but for Lin Li to negotiate with the Gilded Kingdom.
However, after hearing Ujfalusi's request, Lin Li didn't seem to think that it was too much. In fact, Lin Li also hoped that his subordinates could step into the Sanctuary-realm sooner so that they could provide him with greater help. Now that Norfeller had already stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, he could already be on par with middle-rank Sanctuary powerhouses. If Ujfalusi could also successfully step into the Sanctuary-realm this time, his team would not be inferior to the Gilded Kingdom's team at all.
Hence, in the face of Ujfalusi's request, Lin Li did not seem displeased at all. He turned to Saint Edmund of the Gilded Kingdom, and said, "Saint Edmund, I have a use for this Ice Phoenix corpse. Give it to me. What are your conditions? "
Lin Li didn't beat around the bush at all, and was very straightforward with his words as if he was already determined to get the Ice Phoenix's corpse. Of course, there was another reason, and that was that he knew that Saint Edmund wouldn't fall out with him at this time for the sake of the Ice Phoenix's corpse. Hence, there was room for negotiation.
Besides, if the Ice Phoenix's corpse was in the hands of the Gilded Kingdom, it would definitely not be something that they couldn't bear to part with, even though it wasn't worthless. After all, the peak Sanctuary-realm magical crystal was a priceless treasure. Only in the hands of a necromancer would such a powerful corpse be able to display its full value.
However, before Edmund could speak, High Priest Poer anxiously exclaimed, "What? Are you kidding me? Do you think that's an ordinary magical beast's corpse!? You guys have already obtained the most precious blood of the Ice Phoenix, so this corpse should belong to us no matter what! "
There was a Lich on the Tower of Dusk's side, and High Priest Poer could naturally guess what Lin Li intended to do with the Ice Phoenix's corpse now. In the first place, High Priest Poer was already extremely displeased that the Vampire of the Tower of Dusk had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm because of the Ice Phoenix's blood. How could he sit back and watch the Tower of Dusk gain another Sanctuary powerhouse?
As for what High Priest Poer said about the Ice Phoenix's blood being the most precious thing, it was pure nonsense. Everything depended on the person using it. If the Ice Phoenix's blood had been obtained by someone else instead of Norfeller, it would probably be no different from garbage. After all, not everyone could absorb the power in the Ice Phoenix's blood, and even if the blood was used to concoct potions, only a pharmaceutics Guru would be able to make use of it.
Lin Li knew that High Priest Poer was not the one who had the final say in this team of the Gilded Kingdom. Hence, he naturally couldn't be bothered to argue with him. Hence, he didn't even look at High Priest Poer, and instead fixed his gaze on Saint Edmund, waiting for him to give him an answer.
Saint Edmund was not a fool, and he had naturally thought of the problem that High Priest Poer could think of. Although he did not react as intensely as High Priest Poer, it did not mean that he was willing to watch the Tower of Dusk's team improve again.
Originally, the Gilded Kingdom's team had three Sanctuary powerhouses, while the Tower of Dusk's team only had one Sanctuary powerhouse, Lin Li. Even if Lin Li was extremely powerful, the Gilded Kingdom had Saint Edmund who could deal with him. Although the actual situation was not as simple as addition and subtraction, it could almost be said that the Gilded Kingdom's team was definitely stronger than the Tower of Dusk's team in terms of strength.
Previously, Edmund did not agree to High Priest Poer's proposal because he did not want to complicate matters. After all, a battle between Sanctuary powerhouses was not like a fight between ordinary hooligans. Another reason was that he wanted to use the Tower of Dusk's team as cannon fodder, and use this method to weaken the strength of the Tower of Dusk's team so that he could reap the benefits.
However, the Tower of Dusk actually had another Sanctuary powerhouse whose strength was close to that of a middle-rank Sanctuary powerhouse. That immediately narrowed the gap in strength between the two sides, and it would not be easy for the Gilded Kingdom to defeat the Tower of Dusk's team.
Although a Sanctuary-level vampire was not enough to disrupt Edmund's plan, it could definitely be considered a variable. In this case, how could Edmund be willing to see another Sanctuary powerhouse in the Tower of Dusk's team?
"President Felic, this Ice Phoenix is already at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, and I'm sure you know very well how valuable its corpse is. You said that you have a use for it, but who wouldn't have a use for such a precious thing? "Elder Zumar said to Lin Li after getting a hint from Saint Edmund.
Elder Zumar was just unwilling to have a conflict with the Tower of Dusk, especially under such circumstances, but it did not mean that he was really on their side. Hence, deep down, he also did not want the Tower of Dusk to have any further improvement in strength. Besides, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire body of the Ice Phoenix was a treasure, and even every feather was a priceless treasure. How could he give it to the Tower of Dusk so easily?
Lin Li had long expected the Gilded Kingdom's rejection, but since Elder Zumar was the one who spoke, it meant that there was still room for negotiation. Hence, after hearing Elder Zumar's words, Lin Li still had a faint smile on his face, and said, "To put it bluntly, this Ice Phoenix's entire body is indeed a treasure, but it's not easy to turn it into something of real value. Elder Zumar, you should also know that the origin power of the Ice Phoenix is actually the other extreme of the Laws of Fire, and not the Laws of Water. Hence, even if you create some magical equipment, few people can use such extreme power. So, what's its value? "
The entire body of the Ice Phoenix was a treasure, but if it couldn't be used, everything would be in vain. It was just like having a mountain of gold, and only using it to buy things could reflect the value of gold. If it was piled up in the warehouse, its value would be zero. If the various parts of the Ice Phoenix's corpse could not be made into magical equipment, and if the magical equipment that was made could not be used by anyone, the value of the Ice Phoenix would probably be reduced to that of a collector's item.
Lin Li's words really made Elder Zumar speechless for a while. The power of the Ice Phoenix was indeed too extreme, and even the magical crystal that was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm would probably not be able to be used as a mana source in ordinary Alchemy Arrays because of that. Although Elder Zumar wanted to say a few tough words, lying was not his forte, and he couldn't bring himself to say it.
However, High Priest Poer didn't care about that. As soon as he heard that Lin Li seemed to have belittled the Gilded Kingdom, he immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation, and said, "President Felic, aren't you being too nosy? Since we want this Ice Phoenix, we naturally have a way to make use of its value. Besides, even if we can't use it, it's our business to let it rot in the warehouse. "
Upon hearing High Priest Poer's words, even Saint Edmund and Elder Zumar couldn't help but frown. Although there was a certain amount of truth in his words, it sounded rather awkward as if he was saying that the Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati were incompetent. Although they might not be able to make good use of the Ice Phoenix just like Lin Li had said, they couldn't be so blatant about it.
