Got it
The golden sword radiance seemed as though it was going to cut through the heavens. The towering golden light blasted towards the emissary with an unstoppable force.
The emissary, who had been disdainful all this while, finally revealed a look of fear. He frantically formed seals with his hands. Just as he was about to counterattack, his body stiffened. He looked towards the north and gave up resisting, allowing the golden light to devour him.
Dazzling golden light and boundless power wreaked havoc for a full seven minutes. Neither Jiao Qi, Meng Huairong, nor Chi Mei could look directly at it. Ye Zichen had even sealed off his vision before releasing it.
The light dissipated.
What was left on the plain was a bottomless ravine. It was as if the space had been sliced into two by that sword skill.
"Ha …"
The envoy disappeared after being swallowed by the golden light. Ye Zichen sat on the ground and panted heavily as if he had just survived a disaster. His entire body was drenched in sweat. Just now, when he'd faced that earth supreme, he'd truly been scared out of his wits.
Fortunately, he was used to big storms and had a good mental fortitude. Otherwise, he would have to report to the Netherworld River.
At that moment, Chi Mei hurried over with Jiao Qi and Meng Huairong. The two heavenly yao of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda immediately rushed over to Ye Zichen's side to observe the situation.
Chi Mei, on the other hand, covered her mouth with her small hand. She looked at the nearly endless ravine that was dozens of feet wide in front of her, and her small face was filled with shock.
"Little brother, did you do this? Don't tell me you killed the envoy? "
Ye Zichen looked at Ye Zichen in astonishment, then narrowed his eyes and smiled mockingly.
"I don't know if that emissary is dead or not, but I'm not. How about it? Are you disappointed?"
They'd deliberately brought him here and had him face a ninth-stage Earth Supreme by himself. They hadn't told him about the Xiao Family's enmity with the Yao Race, putting him in danger.
He couldn't contact the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, so it was definitely Chi Mei's doing. This made him even more likely to die.
It would be hilarious if Ye Zichen could still calmly chat with her at a time like this.
"Little brother, what are you saying? Ah … Let's not talk about this. The Gao Family has sent someone over. Let's pretend to be the Xiao Family's special envoy and trick these treasures over."
Regardless of whether Ye Zichen cooperated or not, Chi Mei had already donned the black robes and returned one to each of them. Not long after, it was just as Chi Mei said. In the distance, there was a group of about five people on horseback.
"Hurry up and put it on. The special envoy doesn't know you, but do you think the Gao family doesn't know you?"
"Let's talk about it later. We've already come this far. We can't let all our efforts go to waste!"
Ye Zichen gave Chi Mei a deep, meaningful look, then donned the black robes. When Jiao Qi and Meng Huairong saw that their master had donned them, they did the same.
About half an hour later, the Gao Family's group had arrived.
At the very front of this group was the eldest son of the Gao Clan, Gao Yunting. He was followed by four of his trusted aides.
When they saw the chasm Ye Zichen had created, they were all astonished. They looked at Ye Zichen and the others warily.
"You're here?"
Who cared what they thought? Chi Mei had already spoken.
"Esteemed Envoy."
Although he was somewhat suspicious, Gao Yunting didn't dare offend her. He bowed deeply. His four trusted aides also followed suit and bowed in greeting.
"Mm. Did you bring everything?"
Chi Mei nodded calmly at them, then spoke again.
Gao Yunting revealed a hesitant expression when he heard this. His gaze descended onto the ravine as he spoke.
"Esteemed Envoy, this place …."
Although this was his first time here, there were obvious signs of battle. The surrounding space wasn't particularly stable, and the chasm looked as if it'd just formed.
If he guessed right, a supreme-level battle had taken place here before they'd entered.
He wasn't sure exactly how many supremes there had been, but in any case, immortal kings couldn't possibly create something like this.
"This place? When I came down here, a few of my enemies found out. Just now, they exchanged blows with the main body, but the main body had already forced them to retreat. They're my attendants, and they were heavily injured while protecting me. "
"Then Esteemed Envoy isn't injured, is he?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Give me what you need, and you can go back."
Chi Mei vividly displayed the impatience of a major figure like the Divine Mountain's envoy when dealing with small fries in the Lower Lands.
She repeatedly urged him to complete the transaction, but Gao Yunting held the ring in his hand for a long time without handing it over.
Since there'd been a battle, who could be sure that the envoy before them was the real one? What if the envoy's enemies were here to exact revenge?
"Esteemed Envoy …."
"Alright, I know what you're worried about." With that, Chi Mei narrowed her eyes and sent Gao Yunting a transmission. Not long after, his gaze changed, and he looked at Chi Mei with a respectful and friendly gaze.
"Can you confirm it now?"
"I'm sure, I'm sure. Please don't blame me, Esteemed Envoy. I'm doing this for the sake of our transaction."
The transmission Chi Mei had sent Gao Yunting was the secret code his father had told him before he'd left. Identities could be faked, but the secret code couldn't be known by anyone else.
If Chi Mei could say the secret code, then she was undoubtedly the envoy.
"No matter."
Gao Yunting waved his hand magnanimously, then handed over the fire-attribute spatial ring without hesitation.
Chi Mei took the ring and glanced indifferently at the treasures inside. Gao Yunting cupped his hands in greeting.
"Esteemed Envoy, since the transaction is complete, I'll return to report on my mission."
"Wait a moment … …"
At that moment, Chi Mei called out to him. Gao Yunting immediately turned around.
"Esteemed Envoy, is there anything else you need?"
A jade-green ring appeared in Chi Mei's hand. Two beams of light shot out from the fire-type ring and into the jade-green ring. Chi Mei then tossed the jade-green ring towards Gao Yunting.
Gao Yunting reflexively caught it. A look of confusion appeared on his face as Chi Mei spoke.
