"Screech!"
Amidst the clear and melodious chirps of birds, the Vermillion Bird Little Four, whose entire body was covered in raging flames, appeared in an extremely magnificent manner with his long flaming feathers trailing behind him.
However, no matter how magnificent it was, it couldn't conceal the weakness in Little Four's cry. His cry wasn't as piercing as before, piercing through the clouds.
This was because Little Four had yet to recover from his injuries. However, he still had the strength to fight against ordinary quasi-gods of Zhou Tian. In fact, if Little Four had not fought against the three of them alone, he would not have been so severely injured and needed to use the Fire Crystal to heal himself.
"Little Four?" Gui Qianshan's pupils shrank and he became vigilant. If Little Four had not stood on Ling Dong's shoulder without any intention to attack, Gui Qianshan would have rushed towards the river.
However, Gui Qianshan could clearly hear the weakness in the Vermilion Bird's cry.
"Gui Qianshan, the secret technique of the Triple Mystic Pupils is useless in your hands. Why don't you exchange it for something useful from me?" Seeing Gui Qianshan's shocked expression, Ling Dong struck while the iron was hot.
"Of course, you may think that Little Four and I can't keep you here, but we will know after we fight. You have seen Little Four's ability. If you exchange the secret technique of the Triple Mystic Pupils with me, not only can you avoid a battle, but you can also obtain some treasures. Why not? "Ling Dong said.
"Why not?" Gui Qianshan's round eyes flashed with a rough light: "That's right, but I have a big appetite. I'm afraid you can't satisfy me."
Seeing that Gui Qianshan agreed to the deal, Ling Dong was slightly happy and said: "You have to give me a price to know whether I can satisfy you or not."
In fact, Ling Dong had thought carefully before proposing the deal to Gui Qianshan. It was not only to avoid a battle, but also for other reasons. Ling Dong could also roughly guess Gui Qianshan's conditions.
"Then I want you to give me the God Sealing Stone in exchange. Are you willing?" Gui Qianshan thought for a moment and blurted out.
Upon hearing this, Ling Dong revealed a knowing expression. Gui Qianshan's offer was still within Ling Dong's expectations. "If you want the Divine Seal Stone, I can trade for the Triple Mystic Eyes." As long as Gui Qianshan offered this price, Ling Dong's following arrangements would be much easier. Ling Dong had a big plan.
Seeing that Ling Dong had agreed, Gui Qianshan's expression turned joyful, "Good, then let's make the deal now. You give me the Divine Sealing Stone and I will give you the jade talisman with the Triple Mystic Pupils."
"Don't be hasty. Let me finish." Ling Dong shook his head at Gui Qianshan, "I believe you know the value of the Godseal Stone. Besides, we are enemies, so I won't give you the Godseal Stone so easily. If I let you break through and become a Zhou Tian Righteous God, wouldn't I be looking for trouble?"
"After talking for so long, I still can't …"
"It's not that I can't, but I have an additional condition!" Ling Dong said.
"Speak!" Ling Dong shouted at Gui Qianshan.
"It's very simple. You have to use your heart's blood to make a Divine Soul Oath. After getting the Godseal Stone, you will immediately leave the Star Luo Divine Palace and never become enemies with me, Ling Dong, for the rest of your life." Ling Dong said.
Ling Dong said this because he was somewhat helpless. It was because Gui Qianshan's turtle shell had a terrifying defensive ability. Eight half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods besieged him for a hundred breaths and still couldn't take him down. How strong was the turtle shell's defensive ability?
If Gui Qianshan was allowed to follow the Star Luo Divine Palace, it would be like adding an extremely strong meat shield to the Star Luo Divine Palace. One person could easily withstand the attacks of four to eight people. This kind of abnormal defensive ability could decide the outcome of a battle most of the time.
Ling Dong's character was to use all his strength to deal with the enemy once he determined who was the enemy. He would never let go of any opportunity to weaken the enemy's strength.
Since Ling Dong didn't have full confidence in deterring Gui Qianshan, he wanted to make a deal. At least, he couldn't let Gui Qianshan join the Star Luo Divine Palace's side and weaken the Star Luo Divine Palace's strength.
This was the most fundamental purpose of Ling Dong's discussion with Gui Qianshan. To be honest, Ling Dong was very sincere. The price of a Godseal Stone in exchange for a Divine Ability secret technique. If Ling Dong didn't have any additional conditions, he would definitely be scolded as a fool.
Gui Qianshan's small round eyes suddenly rolled and he laughed: "You don't have full confidence in deterring me, right?"
"Then let's try!" Ling Dong raised his long eyebrows. The Vermillion Bird Little Four, who was originally gently combing its feathers, suddenly raised its head. Its large bird eyes shot out an ice-cold light, and a baleful aura overflowed.
Gui Qianshan stretched out three fingers to Ling Dong, "Three, I want three Godseal Stones! As long as you give me three Godseal Stones, I will agree to your conditions and do as you say! "
"Three …" The corner of Ling Dong's mouth twitched. "In your dreams!"
One Godseal Stone was already a sky-high price. Three Godseal Stones was not an exorbitant price but a fool's dream.
"You don't agree?" Gui Qianshan revealed a strange smile, "Then your Grandpa Gui will leave!" The moment he said that, Gui Qianshan's body shrank into his turtle shell and rushed down the river.
Luckily, Ling Dong and Little Four's reaction was fast enough. The moment they attacked, Gui Qianshan had already fallen into the river. Gui Qianshan, who was extremely cautious, had been staying close to the river.
As for Ling Dong's Starlight Fire and Little Four's flames, although they evaporated the river water and bombarded the back of Gui Qianshan's turtle shell, Gui Qianshan's Starlight Fire and Little Four's flames were not affected.
However, no matter whether it was Ling Dong's Starlight Fire or Little Four's flames, after passing through the water, they did not even leave a white mark on Gui Qianshan's turtle shell. Instead, Gui Qianshan's speed increased.
The moment Gui Qianshan fell into the water, the tranquil and docile Bi Yan River instantly became turbulent. A water line that was visible to the naked eye was rushing forward like lightning in the Bi Yan River. Its speed was extremely fast.
Almost instinctively, Ling Dong and Little Four quickly chased after it. Ling Dong did not even understand why Gui Qianshan refused to use one Godseal Stone.
Because it did not make sense.
From Ling Dong's point of view, Gui Qianshan was working for the Star Luo Divine Palace just for a Godseal Stone. And the jade talisman that recorded the Three Ultimate Mystic Pupils was no different from trash to Gui Qianshan who could not cultivate it.
This was mainly because the conditions to cultivate the Three Ultimate Mystic Pupils were extremely harsh and few people could cultivate it. Therefore, Ling Dong felt that the price he agreed to use one Godseal Stone to exchange for the Three Ultimate Mystic Pupils was already a sky-high price.
It was a very good deal no matter where it was placed. Why would someone refuse? Ling Dong could not understand. It did not make sense!
Although he could not understand, Ling Dong still chased after Gui Qianshan with Little Four. This was the only chance and it would be hard to say if they missed it.
In particular, Gui Qianshan was extremely cautious and was even more cautious than a turtle. If they missed this chance, it would be too difficult for them to catch such a chance again.
Ling Dong's Divine Sense tightly locked onto the white waves on the river. He could faintly feel that Gui Qianshan was escaping under the water. He and Little Four chased after him.
What made Ling Dong happy was that Little Four's flying speed was faster than Gui Qianshan who was escaping under the water. Based on the current situation, as long as Little Four was ahead of Gui Qianshan in the air, she would be able to use her flames to cut off the water and blast Gui Qianshan out again.
What made Ling Dong even more frustrated was that Gui Qianshan seemed to have discovered this point after running for more than a hundred breaths. He once again displayed his frightening ability to control water.
Along the way, Ling Dong fled through the river. From time to time, powerful water arrows would shoot towards the sky. Their target was Ling Dong, who was flying low, and the Vermillion Bird, who was flying high, causing Ling Dong to be flustered.
The water arrows that Gui Qianshan shot out in a panic were not much of a threat to Ling Dong. However, they still required Ling Dong to activate his strength to defend himself. This indirectly slowed down Ling Dong's speed.
The advantage that the Vermillion Bird had gained from its continuous flight was also lost after being obstructed by a pillar of water that soared into the sky.
Little Four was a fire elemental spirit and had a natural aversion to water. It would definitely not allow water to touch its body and would directly burn it with flames. However, this flame also slowed down Little Four, causing Ling Dong's plan to blast Gui Qianshan out of the river to be thwarted.
Whether it was Gui Qianshan, Ling Dong, or Little Four, one was escaping while the other was chasing. Naturally, they pushed their speed to the extreme regardless of consumption. In the blink of an eye, they had reached the end of the Bi Yan River which was less than a hundred miles long.
Ling Dong only felt his vision go blank. In this short period of time, he and the Vermilion Bird had already madly chased to the sea and estuary of the Bi Yan River. The salty sea breeze blew over, causing Ling Dong's field of vision to suddenly open up. By the time Ling Dong and the Vermilion Bird stopped, they had already madly rushed into the sky above the boundless blue sea.
As for the reason why they stopped, it was very simple.
It was because they had followed Gui Qianshan's aura to the mouth of the sea. The moment Gui Qianshan jumped into the sea, his aura instantly disappeared. Without a target, they stopped.
"Where is Gui Qianshan? Where is he hiding?" Ling Dong raised his eyes and looked over. The surface of the sea was surprisingly calm, and there were no signs of the rolling waves in the river.
"Little Four, don't you think that Gui Qianshan is a bit stupid? Instead of exchanging for the God Sealing Stone, you frantically fled into the sea to escape … "Halfway through his sentence, Ling Dong's voice abruptly stopped.
Thinking of the strange smile on Gui Qianshan's face before escaping, Ling Dong couldn't figure out why Gui Qianshan was unwilling to make such a good deal. A sense of danger suddenly rose in his heart. Ling Dong vaguely felt that he had been schemed against today.
"I'm not stupid, it's you guys who are stupid!" When Ling Dong's voice fell, a muffled sound suddenly came from the bottom of the water. A whirlpool of water suddenly appeared on the calm surface of the sea, and a turtle shell was faintly discernible there!
Ling Dong's face suddenly became very ugly. He suddenly understood all the puzzles he had just now!
