Chapter 642 - 636: This Woman Doesn’t Seem Like a Good Person
Xi Huang had already understood the intention of the Peacock Great Ming King; Lin Yuan and the Peacock Great Ming King must have already discussed it and allowed the Peacock Great Ming King to leave with him.
Before leaving, this was an attempt to extort something from him.
Now, regardless of whether Xi Huang gives this thing or not, the Peacock Great Ming King will leave with him.
Since he had seen through all this, Xi Huang certainly couldn’t be the fool paying for it!
Seeing Xi Huang’s stingy demeanor, the Peacock Great Ming King seemed to be angry. He snorted coldly, "Humph!"
"Since you didn’t bring anything, then I won’t leave!"
"Anyway, I didn’t originally intend to go to Wa Huang’s Palace. If it weren’t for Lin Yuan constantly persuading me, I wouldn’t agree no matter what."
After speaking, the Peacock Great Ming King turned and left.
Xi Huang: "????"
As the Peacock Great Ming King left, Xi Huang was bewildered.
Xi Huang thought to himself, what’s this performance now?
Originally, Xi Huang thought it was a play staged by Lin Yuan and the Peacock Great Ming King to extort him.
However, with the departure of the Peacock Great Ming King, Xi Huang was a bit baffled.
Was this really an act?
If the Peacock Great Ming King doesn’t leave with him today, how will it end?
After returning, how will he explain to Wa Huang?
With no other recourse, Xi Huang had to approach Lin Yuan and said, "Lin Yuan, we had agreed upon this!"
"If the Peacock Great Ming King doesn’t leave with me, there’s no benefit to him either!"
Lin Yuan glared at Xi Huang, and said in a deep voice, "If he doesn’t care about his life, what can I do?"
"I had a hard time persuading him, why did you provoke him?"
"Heaven and earth are barren, the void is abundant. If he wants treasures, what’s the harm in giving him one or two pieces?"
After speaking, Lin Yuan also turned and left.
Xi Huang: "????"
This...
"What should I do now!" With both key figures gone, Xi Huang was at a loss.
The Peacock Great Ming King was truly important to Wa Huang.
Xi Huang had assured Wa Huang that he could bring the Peacock Great Ming King back.
Now, if he can’t bring the King back, he won’t be able to account for it to Wa Huang.
"Bai..."
"Fellow Daoist Bai!" Xi Huang could only approach Elder Bai for help, asking, "Fellow Daoist Bai, can you think of a way?"
Elder Bai’s eyes twinkled, and he said, "You forced the Peacock Great Ming King into Wa Huang’s Palace, which upset him, so he’s asking you for something."
"Lin Yuan certainly doesn’t want to see the Peacock Great Ming King perish, so he’s likely persuading him now."
"Daoist friend, this matter depends on you. If you are sincere, give him one or two items!"
"Your Wa Huang, I suppose, wouldn’t mind one or two treasures."
Though these words were spoken, the situation was not handled this way.
Adding conditions temporarily made it difficult for Xi Huang to manage.
When the agreement was initially made, there was no mention of using treasures to exchange for people?
Moreover, seeing the Peacock Great Ming King’s demeanor, if one were to give a common treasure, he probably wouldn’t agree either.
At this point, Xi Huang could only consult with Wa Huang.
"Let me consult with Wa Huang for now!" Xi Huang said slowly.
After Xi Huang spoke, Elder Bai wisely departed, allowing Xi Huang to contact Wa Huang.
Xi Huang took out a mirror from his robe, performed some incantations and spells in front of it, and the image of Wa Huang appeared on the mirror’s surface.
"Big brother, how is everything going?" Wa Huang asked from within the mirror.
"There are some complications. There’s something I need to discuss with you..." Xi Huang unhurriedly explained the entire situation to Wa Huang in detail.
After listening to Xi Huang’s explanation, Wa Huang’s face showed anger, "How preposterous, are they treating us as fools?"
Xi Huang looked troubled, "I think so too. The current issue is, without offering something, the Peacock Great Ming King might not be willing to leave with me."
"I don’t see the Peacock Great Ming King as afraid of death. If he disregards his life, we can’t risk it!"
In Xi Huang’s eyes, the life of the Peacock Great Ming King was clearly not as important as Wa Huang’s opportunity.
At this moment, within the mirror, Wa Huang also fell into deep thought.
After carefully considering, Wa Huang conjured a plan.
"Big brother, tell Lin Yuan that I want to discuss this matter with him personally." Wa Huang clearly had an idea.
Hearing that Wa Huang wanted a face-to-face discussion with Lin Yuan, Xi Huang breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Yuan is now on a different level; his evil corpse successfully achieved the Dao, making Lin Yuan the Lord of Heaven and Earth.
Xi Huang was merely a messenger for Wa Huang, and he naturally had a lower stature in front of Lin Yuan.
Moreover, there were some matters outside his authority that he had to discuss with Wa Huang.
With Wa Huang directly negotiating with Lin Yuan, the matter would be much simpler.
Xi Huang summoned Elder Bai and said, "Fellow Daoist Bai, please deliver this copper mirror to Lin Yuan."
"Wa Huang wants a face-to-face discussion with Lin Yuan on this matter."
"Oh!" Elder Bai was taken aback but promptly replied, "Alright, alright!"
Saying this, Elder Bai took the copper mirror and went to find Lin Yuan.
Soon, the copper mirror was delivered into Lin Yuan’s hands.
As soon as Lin Yuan held the copper mirror, Wa Huang seemed to sense it, and her image appeared on the mirror’s surface.
"What could possibly move Wa Huang for a few mere treasures?"
"To say, your Wa Huang’s Palace is really stingy!" Lin Yuan said with a sarcastic tone.
"Humph!" In the mirror, Wa Huang coldly snorted, "A few treasures? Merely?"
"To tell you openly, even if it’s a single treasure, I won’t give it to you."
Lin Yuan: "????"
"If you won’t give it, what does Wa Huang have to discuss with me? Talk about love and romance?"
"If you won’t give it, then there’s no need to continue this conversation!" Saying this, Lin Yuan waved his hand to tear through the void, intending to throw the copper mirror into the chaotic flow of the void.
Seeing this, Wa Huang in the mirror was alarmed and quickly shouted at Lin Yuan, "Wait!"
"I have a secret here, concerning the survival and demise of your Human Race."
"I’ll tell you this secret if you let Xi Huang bring the Peacock Great Ming King."
However, Lin Yuan ignored her, continuing to throw the copper mirror towards the chaotic void.
Seeing Lin Yuan ignoring her, Wa Huang could only use her ace and exclaimed, "Among the Four Great Primordial Spirits, currently, there are only three in the void...."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan’s hand, which was about to throw the copper mirror into the chaotic void, froze.
Four Great Primordial Spirits, only three in the void?
In other words, one of them is missing?
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment and then realized that up till now, he had only seen Wa Huang, Demon Lord, and Buddha.
Among the Four Great Primordial Spirits, Daoist Ancestor was someone Lin Yuan had never met, and he had never even heard of his whereabouts.
"Daoist Ancestor?"
"Are you referring to Daoist Ancestor?" Lin Yuan withdrew the copper mirror.
Wa Huang nodded and said, "Yes, it’s about Daoist Ancestor."
"I’ll tell you about Daoist Ancestor, and you let Xi Huang bring the Peacock Great Ming King back."
It must be said, this Wa Huang woman didn’t seem like a good person!
She wanted to trap Daoist Ancestor again.
