Monarch Cang Yong had not mentioned beforehand how much he was willing to compensate.
This was the excuse World Deity Shen Tu gave in order to plead for a better outcome. He was clear that Xue Ying's combat power had far surpassed his expectations. Although he was also adept at escaping, under the restrictions of the supervisor envoy's mansion's arrays and the terrifying domain secret skill, there was no way for him to escape! As such, he naturally began to think of ways to beg for mercy. After all, if he were to die in battle, even though this was only his body, he still had many treasures on him. If he were to die, his blood-refined divine weapon and many other treasures would all be gone. Moreover, he would have to cultivate his clone from the very beginning. Just the large amount of energy required to develop his inner world would be a huge expense.
Thus, no matter what, he had to save his own life first!
World Deity Shen Tu squeezed out a smile on his ugly, ashen face. "Your Highness, please state your conditions. My true body is by the monarch's side, so I can report this matter to him! Your Highness, your future is limitless, while my monarch has only cultivated for a short period of time to reach stage four. Both Your Highness and my monarch are destined to become overlords of our Deity Realm. Why should we form a grudge over such a trivial matter? "
"If Monarch Cang Yong could make amends so easily, would he have dared to send you into my residence and kill my personal guard commander?" Dongbo Xue Ying sneered. "You're just making things up."
"I'm not making things up. Your Highness, please state your conditions. I will help you pass on the message, and I can even temporarily stay in Your Highness's residence. Once my monarch sends an apology, you can let me go, "World Deity Shen Tu said. Since he could not escape, temporarily staying in the supervisor envoy's mansion was not a big deal.
Dongbo Xue Ying softly said, "I'm guessing that you're saying all this to save your life. However, your Monarch Cang Yong was too arrogant this time, completely disregarding me. Today, he dared to send someone to infiltrate my residence and kill my personal guard commander. Tomorrow, he'll probably send someone to infiltrate my residence and kill my family. "
The assassination had been carried out right under his nose.
This caused Dongbo Xue Ying's heart to palpitate!
Clearly, in the eyes of those overlord-level existences, even if they gave Dongbo Xue Ying some face, they could still fall out with him at any moment! After all, even though his master was the Blood Blade, God Emperor would not lower himself to act just because his disciple suffered a setback. This was impossible! Among the Almighties, there were very, very few who truly protected their own.
In the entire Bloodshed God Palace territory, there were only two people who were extremely protective of their people — Forefather Fierce Tyrant and Monarch Mother Whirlpool.
When other Almighties nurtured their disciples, they allowed their disciples to fight and kill outside. If they died, they could only blame themselves for not being as skilled as others. Only with enough tempering could true experts be nurtured. If they were forever sheltered, they would never be able to truly rise.
"I wouldn't dare." World Deity Shen Tu hurriedly said, "My true body has already gone to meet the Monarch and inform him of this matter so that he can make a decision."
"Oh?" Dongbo Xue Ying frowned. His eyes were still filled with coldness.
…
World Deity Shen Tu's true body had indeed gone to meet the Monarch.
Monarch Cang Yong's lofty figure sat on the throne, a row of huge bone spurs protruding from the back of his neck. His indifferent eyes looked down at the black-robed man kneeling before him. "Your clone couldn't escape? It seems that Dongbo Xue Ying's combat power is truly formidable. His Majesty God Emperor is truly extravagant. Powerful existences have risked their lives to obtain this treasure, yet he casually gave it to a brat. "
"Monarch, what should we do now?" World Deity Shen Tu hurriedly asked.
"First, confirm whether or not World Deity Shang Yi has obtained the relic," Monarch Cang Yong indifferently said. "As for the rest, I'll leave it to you! Remember, do not embarrass me. "
Monarch Cang Yong understood that this subordinate of his wanted to protect his clone, so he spoke vaguely.
"Yes," World Deity Shen Tu respectfully replied.
… …
High up in the sky above the supervisor envoy's residence, under the watchful gazes of a large number of his personal guards, the various deities of the Xia people, Jing Qiu, Dongbo Yu, Dongbo Qingyao, and the others, the black-robed World Deity Shen Tu, who was shackled by countless white chains, was extremely nervous. At the same time, he followed the Monarch's orders and checked the items left behind by World Deity Shang Yi. Since World Deity Shang Yi was already dead, those items could be easily checked.
"This is …" Upon checking, the black-robed man discovered a wooden box within World Deity Shang Yi's storage treasure. Inside the wooden box was a black sphere.
The black sphere was covered with complicated bumpy patterns.
This black sphere stunned World Deity Shen Tu for a moment!
This was because he had long since seen the painting of this black sphere. Monarch Cang Yong had shown it to them before. He had ordered them to chase after the fleeing World Deities and search for the black sphere among the items left behind by them. The moment they found it, they were to immediately bring it back!
"It's actually …!"
"The relic is actually with World Deity Shang Yi!" The black-robed man was both excited and nervous. He was excited because, with the relic, he could make any promise he wanted! He believed that Monarch Cang Yong would not blame him. However, what made him nervous was that he was afraid that Dongbo Xue Ying would kill him! If Dongbo Xue Ying were to kill his avatar, not only would he lose his avatar, he would also lose the relic.
As a capable subordinate of the monarch, he was very clear on how much the monarch had paid for the relic. If the relic were to fall into Dongbo Xue Ying's hands, it would be too difficult to get it back. Dongbo Xue Ying was not as easy to deal with as World Deity Shang Yi was.
"Your Highness, Your Highness."
World Deity Shen Tu looked at Dongbo Xue Ying and squeezed out a smile. "I've already reported this matter to the monarch, and he reprimanded me, saying that I didn't do it cleanly enough. Originally, the monarch had already made preparations. He knew that Your Highness would not agree to it, but the monarch still wanted to kill Shang Yi. Thus, he took the risk and sent me over to secretly deal with Shang Yi. Afterwards, he sent an envoy to discuss this matter. After all, Your Highness has a boundless future ahead of you. How could the monarch be willing to form a grudge with Your Highness?
"It's just that I didn't expect Your Highness to be so powerful. Although I specialize in concealment, assassination, and escaping, I wasn't able to escape in the end." World Deity Shen Tu hurriedly said, "Our monarch heard that Your Highness is searching for 'Demon Bone Ash', and he is willing to offer you five kilograms of Demon Bone Ash!"
Dongbo Xue Ying was shocked.
No matter how angry he was previously, he was now somewhat shocked.
Five kilograms of Demon Bone Ash? After he became the supervisor, he had sent Xi Wei to search for Demon Bone Ash. Even after thirty thousand years, he had only managed to buy one and a half kilograms of Demon Bone Ash. Demon Bone Ash was extremely precious and rare.
"Your monarch is able to take out five kilograms of Demon Bone Ash?" Dongbo Xue Ying frowned.
"He can. The monarch said it himself," World Deity Shen Tu hurriedly said.
He was lying through his teeth! He didn't know whether the monarch had Demon Bone Ash or not. All he knew was that Dongbo Xue Ying had been searching for Demon Bone Ash for a long time. There were indeed some powers that gave Dongbo Xue Ying face and sold him some Demon Bone Ash.
As long as he could stall for time!
As long as he could protect the ruins and deliver the treasure to the monarch, his mission would be a success!
"Five kilograms of Demon Bone Ash?" Dongbo Xue Ying frowned. "I heard from Bai Li Shang that a large number of World Deities escaped from the ruins. Do you mean to compensate with five kilograms of Demon Bone Ash for every World Deity you kill? Can your monarch even afford it? "
Stage four World Deities were indeed much wealthier, but five kilograms of Demon Bone Ash was worth more than five hundred million Deity crystals. Monarch Cang Yong was also considered young, unlike Monarch Mo Xue, who had lived for a very long time. How much wealth could he possibly have? How could he compensate so much just to kill a stage two World Deity?
"Isn't it because of Your Highness? I only need to compensate you," World Deity Shen Tu said.
Dongbo Xue Ying shook his head. "World Deity Shen Tu, I don't believe you. So, I'll have to ask you to die!"
Boom ~ ~ ~
Nine Dongbo Xue Ying immediately appeared in the surroundings, each of them wielding a spear. For a moment, a world-destroying might surrounded World Deity Shen Tu and attacked him simultaneously with the spear technique 'Destruction'. For a moment, the surroundings were plunged into darkness. World Deity Shen Tu revealed a look of terror. His body immediately turned into countless shadowy streams of air as he tried his best to escape. At the same time, his voice reverberated, "I'm telling the truth!"
"I don't believe you. Firstly, if Monarch Cang Yong was this sincere, then the emissary would not have been so arrogant when he came to negotiate.
"Secondly, I don't think that Monarch Cang Yong is that afraid of me. In order to resolve my anger, he's willing to give me five kilograms of Demon Bone Ash.
"Thirdly, all of this was said by you and not by Monarch Cang Yong himself. I think that you're trying to stall for time in order to preserve your life.
"Fourthly … and the most important point!
"You killed the commander of my personal guard. Right now, my personal guard is watching, and even the countless Deities of Eastern Region City are watching. If I let you go, how can I, Dongbo Xue Ying, convince the masses? "Dongbo Xue Ying said coldly.
"Rumble ~"
The area surrounded by World Deity Shen Tu collapsed into darkness. The shadowy streams of air scattered in all directions, but they were destroyed time and time again. It was extremely difficult to kill someone who cultivated the Boundless Deity Heart. However, the difference in strength was just too great. World Deity Shen Tu was also heavily injured time and time again, causing his energy consumption to become more and more severe.
"My Monarch will definitely send someone to apologize. No, my Monarch has said that he will come personally." World Deity Shen Tu's voice reverberated throughout the area of darkness.
"I'll first kill this clone of yours! If your Monarch is sincere, then send an emissary to apologize, "Dongbo Xue Ying said. Xue Ying said. As soon as he finished speaking, World Deity Shen Tu's remnant figure could no longer hold on any longer. Following the destruction of the final shadow stream, this avatar of World Deity Shen Tu was finally exterminated.
With a wave of his hand, Dongbo Xue Ying collected all the treasures left behind by World Deity Shen Tu. He then took a step forward and traversed through space to the side of his wife and children.
He felt that World Deity Shen Tu's credibility was too low. Moreover, Monarch Cang Yong had given him a huge slap in the face. How could he let Shen Tu off just like that?
...
Monarch Cang Yong sat on his throne and looked down at the black-robed figure.
World Deity Shen Tu hurriedly said, "Monarch, I tried everything I could to beg for mercy and made many promises. However, Dongbo Xue Ying still acted and destroyed my clone."
"Made many promises? Tried everything you could to beg for mercy? "Monarch Cang Yong indifferently said," I already told you not to embarrass me. "
"No, no, no!" World Deity Shen Tu hurriedly said, "Monarch, you asked me to investigate the treasures left behind by World Deity Shang Yi. I discovered that the black sphere was exactly the same as the object in the painting scroll you showed us."
"What?!"
Monarch Cang Yong abruptly stood up.
A terrifying grayish-white aura surged out, and Monarch Cang Yong's eyes were filled with a terrifying killing intent. "Where's the relic?" He had desired it for a very long time. For the sake of this relic, he was willing to give up everything else, including his blood-refined Deity warrior and even his empire. This was also the reason why he had to use karma to investigate the whereabouts of so many World Deities who had escaped.
"My clone has been killed, and the relic has fallen into Dongbo Xue Ying's hands," World Deity Shen Tu said.
