Even though Sage Cangqiong and Sage Nether had worked together to kill thirty-six Ancient Sages, they weren't on good terms with one another. In fact, they were even on bad terms with one another.
For this reason, the two of them had sent their men to search for the corpses of the thirty-six Ancient Sages earlier than the other party.
As such, he didn't like Xue Qianqiu from the bottom of his heart.
However, seeing that the other party was unwilling to accept his request for a fair duel, how could he not see through the matter?
Xue Qianqiu was definitely not a match for Xue Qianqiu!
"Un. A fair duel will solve the problem better. I think that it's feasible as well!" The Dragon Emperor nodded in agreement. The more he looked at Su Yin, the more satisfied he felt.
Most likely, only his Heavenly Dragon Bloodline could give birth to such an outstanding descendant.
To the extent that even the direct disciple of Cangqiong dared not accept his challenge …
Seeing that the two of them were going to challenge him personally, Xue Qianqiu shook his head and said, "Forget it! I won't check your storage ring anymore … "
Su Yin was a little displeased. "That won't do. We have to check your storage ring and have a duel. The more people there are, the better! Otherwise … you'll have to apologize to me right now! "
"…"
Xue Qianqiu's eyes burned with rage. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Fine, I'll apologize to you. I was in the wrong earlier. I shouldn't have tried to check your storage ring for no reason …"
Su Yin bellowed furiously, "Do you think that an apology will suffice?"
"The heck!"
Xue Qianqiu was on the verge of exploding.
Are you f * cking done yet?
You're the one who wants to apologize, and you're the one who thinks that an apology won't do … What else do you want?
"What do you want? I, Xue Qianqiu, will accept your challenge … "
Su Yin heaved a sigh of relief when he knew that the other party had been pushed to their limits and would not cause trouble for him for the time being. However, his face was still filled with displeasure. "I'm talking about an apology. An apology is secondary. An apology is the most important!"
"Very well!"
Fearing that Xue Qianqiu would continue pursuing the duel, he turned to Sage Driftcloud and said, "Pass me the Cloudpiercing Shuttle!"
Sage Driftcloud frowned. He flicked his wrist, and a palm-sized shuttle appeared in his hand. and passed it over to Xue Qianqiu.
"This Cloud-Piercing Shuttle contains the runes of the Law of Space. It can travel through space without the help of a Teleportation Formation. It's comparable to a pinnacle high-grade Celestial Artifact.
With a flick of his finger, Xue Qianqiu passed the spindle-shaped object to Su Yin and harrumphed.
Not expecting the other party to really give him a treasure, Su Yin replied in delight, "That's enough!"
In other words, even if one wasn't a Saint, one would still be able to traverse a distance of a thousand li or even ten thousand li … It was definitely one of the best escape artifacts in the world.
"Your Majesty Dragon Emperor, Sage Sang Yu, I still have matters to attend to.
After handing over the treasures, Xue Qianqiu clasped his fist and bowed.
Had it been in the past, he would have waited for the Phoenix Monarch and the Black Tortoise Monarch to return so that he could see how they were going to lure the thirty-six Ancient Sages into their trap.
Sage Driftcloud knew what Zhang Xuan was thinking, but it wasn't convenient for him to say anything. Thus, he turned around and left as well. In the blink of an eye, the two of them had vanished from sight.
As soon as he left, the Dragon Emperor and Sage Sang Yu both looked over.
They had long heard of Xue Qianqiu's temper. For such a domineering person to refuse to accept the fair duel proposed by the other party, just how much trauma did he bring to the other party?
How did he do it?
Su Yin replied with a smile. Even though he pretended to be calm on the surface, he was actually heaving a sigh of relief.
It was fortunate that the other party was afraid of his' understanding of others'. Otherwise, there would have been no way for him to clean up the mess.
Xue Qianqiu's true strength was still frightening. Even though Zhang Xuan's physical body had grown significantly stronger, it wouldn't be that easy for him to defeat the other party without utilizing the power of laws.
…
"Young Master Xue, are you going to just swallow your pride like that?"
Sage Liu Yun couldn't help but ask.
He was a Sage, and Xue Qianqiu was the direct disciple of the Firmament Saint. To be threatened by an eighteen-year-old young man, not only did he have to hand over his treasures, he even had to turn around and leave … This was too embarrassing!
"Of course not!"
A glint flashed across Xue Qianqiu's eyes, and the anger from before vanished without a trace. Instead, there was only coldness in his voice as he said, "I don't fear a direct battle, but if that fellow were to use some bizarre means to strip me of my clothes, Sage Sang Yu would surely spread the news to Sage Huang Quan.
Sage Liu Yun fell silent.
This was the reason why he was wary of Xue Qianqiu.
His reputation was nothing, but they were representing the Cangqiong Saint. That was a different story.
"We'll wait here. I don't believe that he won't leave the Dragon Domain. As long as he leaves, we'll find an opportunity to kill him!"
Xue Qianqiu narrowed his eyes as killing intent surged from his body. "Do you know why I gave him the Cloud Piercing Shuttle? That's because I've hidden an imprint in it. Even if he tames it, he won't be able to notice it! So, with the shuttle in his hands, I can sense his location at all times, making it impossible for him to escape!
"Of course, venting our anger is just a small matter. What's more important is to wait here. If the thirty-six Ancient Sages really appear, we'll be able to intercept them in advance and force Sage Sang Yu to return empty-handed."
"I see!" Sage Liu Yun nodded in realization.
As expected of a genius who could comprehend the True Sage Rules. He had indeed calculated everything that he could think of.
…
Seeing that the two of them didn't question him, Su Yin clasped his fist respectfully and asked, "Your Majesty, may I know where the Phoenix Monarch and Phoenix Empress have gone?"
The Dragon Emperor chuckled. "They've returned to the Phoenix Domain to retrieve something. If everything goes according to plan, they should be back soon!"
Su Yin's heart skipped a beat. "Retrieve something?"
The Dragon Emperor didn't hide anything. "Since you've been to the Illusionary Mountain with Feng Qiqiu, you're considered an insider. We've just sent the Phoenix Monarch and Xuan Jia back to retrieve the Sage of Love and Sage of Heavenly Secret! Our goal is to use them as bait to fish out the thirty-six Ancient Sages! "
Su Yin's heart twitched violently, and he almost fainted from shock. However, his expression didn't change at all.
He had also learned this ability from a remnant consciousness. It was the so-called performance.
Sage of Arts, Li Liyuan!
"That's right! Make public the news that Yi Dun, Song Yu, and Zhou Yi, the three great saint corpses are with us. Find out who wants to obtain the corpses! "
The Dragon Emperor purposely revealed this information to test the other party. Seeing that the other party's expression didn't change at all, and there was even a hint of confusion in his eyes, he exchanged glances with Sage Sang Yu and felt much more at ease.
Su Yin was silent for a moment before saying, "If the thirty-six Ancient Sages are still alive, they'll definitely be able to guess that it's a scheme!"
The Dragon Emperor smiled. "So what if they guess it? Announce that if they don't show up within three days, we'll soak their corpses in feces for seven days straight! "
"This …" Su Yin clenched his fists tightly together.
Those were the corpses of Ancient Sages! Putting aside thirty-six Ancient Sages, even he couldn't accept it!
If the Dragon Emperor really did that, he would definitely rush over to snatch the corpses away. It was an open scheme, but it was impossible to resist.
"Alright, this is a conflict between Ancient Sages. You aren't qualified to know too much about it!"
The Dragon Emperor remarked. Then, he looked at Zhang Xuan curiously and asked, "Where are you from? Where are you from? Why are you with the Phoenixes? Do you have any intention of staying in our Dragon Domain? "
"I …"
Su Yin was just about to reply when a cold voice sounded. "Ao Feng, are you going to investigate my background? Do you want me to introduce myself to you? "
Hu!
The Phoenix Monarch and Phoenix Empress suddenly appeared at the center of the hall. With a slight sway, they stood in front of Su Yin like two hens protecting their chicks.
"Phoenix Monarch, what are you talking about? I was just curious!"
The Dragon Emperor didn't think that the Phoenix Monarch would arrive so quickly. With an awkward smile, he said, "Since the Phoenix Monarch has returned, I believe that you have already obtained the corpse of the Casanova.
"The corpse of the Casanova is with me, but I don't trust you! If you want me to take it out, why don't you take out Ancient Sage Yi Dun's corpse so that we can take a look at it? "
The Phoenix Monarch harrumphed coldly.
"What's so difficult about that?" the Dragon Emperor said as he raised his hand.
The air whimpered as a complete physical body appeared at the center of the hall.
The physical body was seated cross-legged, and its appearance was identical to that of Yi Dun's Fragmented Spirit. While its muscles were perfectly preserved, its exposed skin was filled with scars and wounds. Some of the wounds were fresh, while others were blackened due to oxidation.
Clearly, it had been whipped quite often.
Su Yin's face trembled in rage.
Ancient Sage Yi Dun had already been dead for ten thousand years, and yet, he was still whipping his corpse … How shameless!
The Phoenix Monarch sent a telepathic message over. "Calm down. What's more important at the moment is to find a way to bring the corpse away!"
"Yes!" Knowing that the Phoenix Monarch was right, Su Yin suppressed the rage in his heart.
He thought that he had already tempered his state of mind after spending ten years in the forbidden grounds, but who would have thought that he would still be unable to hold himself back in such a situation?
"I've already taken out my corpse. Where's yours?"
The Dragon Emperor asked with a wave of his hand.
The Phoenix Monarch didn't respond to his question. Instead, she stared at the corpse on the floor with narrowed eyes. With a cold voice, she said, "Ao Feng, Yi Dun might have tamed our tribesmen, but he's already dead. Don't you think that it's a little too much to whip his corpse like that?"
"Too much?" The Dragon Emperor sneered. "Why didn't you say that he was too much when he tamed one of our tribesmen into his mount? Someone like him should be sliced into pieces. It's already too easy for him to die so quickly! "
"It's meaningless for us to comment on this matter. However, since he's already dead, and he used to be a Sage, is it right to insult his corpse like that?"
The Phoenix Monarch, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke up. "Putting everything else aside, if you're not buried in the Dragon Tomb, but your corpse is dug out and whipped like that, what will you do?"
"The winner takes all. If such a day comes, I'll accept it!" The Dragon Emperor said with a wave of his hand. "Alright, I've already taken out Yi Dun's corpse. Where's Song Yu's corpse?"
"Song Yu's sacred remains are in this storage ring, but … I'll say it again, I don't believe you! I'm afraid that you'll take it away, so I'll use the same method to humiliate him! "
A storage ring appeared in the Phoenix Emperor's hand as he said indifferently, "My daughter will marry no one else but him. Even if he is dead, his corpse is still her life. If you take it and whip it, how am I going to explain it to her?"
Su Yin furrowed his brows.
Casanova's corpse was lying quietly in his storage ring. Why would it be in his hands?
The empty fort strategy!
A thought flashed through his mind.
The Dragon Emperor frowned. "I'm treating Yi Dun like this because we have a grudge. As for Song Yu, he's just using the corpse to lure the 36 Ancient Sages out. There's no need for that."
The Phoenix Monarch shook her head. "I don't believe you!"
"Haha!" Seeing that the two were arguing, Sage Yu stepped forward. "How about this, how about you leave Yi Dun and Song Yu's corpses to me? I'm sure a Yellow Spring Sage won't abuse a corpse! "
The Phoenix Monarch sneered. "You won't abuse a corpse, but in your hands, it's like throwing meat buns at a dog. There's no return! The Yellow Spring Sage has been coveting the corpses of the 36 Ancient Sages for a long time. Do you think I don't know? "
"You …" Sage Sang Yu frowned. "If the Dragon Emperor can't and I can't, then who can?"
"I think he can!"
The Phoenix Monarch pointed at Su Yin. "He's the son of my old friend, and he went to snatch Casanova's corpse with my daughter. I have no objections to letting him keep it."
"Me?" Su Yin hurriedly waved his hands. "I'm just an ordinary Quasi-Saint who cultivates the physical body. I barely have the Dragon Bloodline in me, and it's not particularly pure. How can I be qualified to keep a Sage's corpse?"
"You're right."
The Dragon Emperor interjected. "His cultivation is only at Quasi-Saint, and he only cultivates the physical body. It's indeed more reassuring."
A Quasi-Saint would not dare to run away from experts like them. Since he only cultivated the physical body, it meant that he had never cultivated the laws. The Sage's corpse would not be of much use to him. In that case, there was no need to offend the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix Monarch over something useless.
"Dragon Emperor, he's someone the Phoenix Monarch brought here. We don't know where he comes from, so please reconsider …" Sage Sang Yu frowned.
The Dragon Emperor shook his head. "What do you mean by that? The fact that he can absorb the Dragon Qi in the Dragon Transformation Pool means that he has the Dragon Bloodline. Furthermore, he's on good terms with the Phoenix Monarch. We can rest assured if he keeps it safe … "
Seeing that the two of them had made a decision for him, Su Yin gritted his teeth and said, "Dragon Emperor, Phoenix Monarch, I … I just want to cultivate in peace. I don't want to get involved in a battle between Sages. I hope you can forgive me …"
The Phoenix Monarch pondered for a moment before saying, "I know what you're worried about. A battle between Sages is also a battle of the great dao. It's dangerous, and there might be unexpected changes. It's normal that you don't want to accept it. How about this? As long as you agree and do a good job, I'll give you this Phoenix Feather! This is a feather that I shed. It can automatically protect its owner and withstand an all-out attack from an expert like me! It can be considered a life-saving talisman, enough to ensure your safety. "
"This …"
Su Yin hesitated as he took the Phoenix Feather. He looked at the Dragon Emperor and said, "It can only protect me once. I'm still afraid that I'm too weak and can't bear the burden. It's fine if I die, but if I lose the Sage's corpse, I won't be able to forgive myself …"
"Haha!"
Knowing what he was thinking, the Dragon Emperor also laughed. "Don't worry, Feng Wuyou isn't the only one who knows how to behave. This Dragon Scale Jade Amulet is also a scale from my body. It also has the ability to protect its owner. It's no weaker than his Phoenix Feather. Take it! "
"This …"
Su Yin looked at the Dragon Emperor, the Phoenix Monarch, and then the Dragon Scale and Phoenix Feather in his hand. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and nod. "Alright, I'll accept this!"
