Chapter 820 - 278: Forceful Treasure Seizure (Part 5)
She looked at the Wushi Puppet and said, "Hand over the National Seal Treasure Seal, and we will spare your life."
Upon hearing this, the Wushi Puppet looked at Huang Lingshan and the others.
"Empty words without guarantee, if you all get the National Seal Treasure Seal and then turn against your word, I..."
"What, do you want us to swear an oath?"
Before the Wushi Puppet could finish, Shen Li suddenly interrupted, "Do you really think you can manipulate us with that National Seal Treasure Seal?"
"Even if you have the ability to self-destruct the National Seal Treasure Seal, what difference would it make if it truly exploded?"
Her words left the Wushi Puppet stunned.
As he looked at Shen Li’s calm demeanor, he couldn’t tell if she truly didn’t care about the National Seal Treasure Seal, or if she had already planned to attack and kill him once the seal was handed over.
"Handing over the Treasure Seal is your last chance to live, otherwise, there is no way you two will leave here alive today."
When Shen Li spoke again, the Qi surname old man’s body emanated a large amount of murderous evil qi, glaring angrily at Shen Li like an enraged lion.
"Then let’s see!"
"I have fought countless battles in my life and have never been afraid!"
His words made Liu Qixuan sneer endlessly.
"Heh... the old man is quite arrogant."
"When the fight breaks out, leave this old man to me!"
"I really want to see what he’s capable of."
The atmosphere instantly became tense and on edge. After the Wushi Puppet’s face changed several times, he immediately spoke, "I am willing to hand over the National Seal Treasure Seal!"
Just as Shen Li had said, the Wushi Puppet understood that today if they handed over the National Seal Treasure Seal, the two of them still had a slim chance of survival.
After all, he had some understanding of sword cultivators, knowing that in most cases, to maintain sword heart clarity, sword cultivators generally wouldn’t do something like going back on their word.
But if they didn’t hand it over, once the fight started, the two of them would be as good as dead.
"Your Majesty..."
The Qi surname old man spoke sorrowfully when he saw this.
The Wushi Puppet shook his head slightly and directly took out the four-sided seal that emitted a purple-gold halo.
Gently caressing the seal in his hand with reluctance, a determined expression flashed on the Wushi Puppet’s face as he forcibly severed the connection between himself and the National Seal Treasure Seal!
Poof!
He had possessed this National Seal Treasure Seal for hundreds of years.
It was precisely because of this National Seal Treasure Seal that he founded Fushan Country.
Having a treasure he had refined for centuries forcibly taken away was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him.
After spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, the Wushi Puppet’s aura wilted as he took one last deep look at the National Seal Treasure Seal in his hand before gritting his teeth and throwing it to Shen Li.
Beside Shen Li, the Golden Toad’s mouth suddenly opened, its scarlet tongue directly wrapping the four-sided seal into its mouth.
"I have already handed over the National Seal Treasure Seal, everyone..."
The Wushi Puppet staggered as he looked at Huang Lingshan and the others.
Huang Lingshan glanced at Jiang Xiuqi beside her and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, let them go."
Jiang Xiuqi nodded slightly and waved his hand to dispel the grand array that sealed the surrounding space.
Seeing this, the Wushi Puppet, together with the Qi surname old man, took off into the distance using their escape light.
"Let’s go to Yunshui City."
As Huang Lingshan spoke, Shen Li bowed slightly and said, "Seniors, please go ahead; Li’Er still needs to find something in Yunmeng Marsh."
Upon hearing this, Huang Lingshan looked around, realizing that all other Golden Core Cultivators had already left.
Given Shen Li’s current strength, there shouldn’t be any significant danger, so she didn’t continue to persuade her.
After the parties separated, Shen Li and the Golden Toad headed together into the depths of Yunmeng Marsh.
...
Yunshui City.
In the side room of the old mansion, upon hearing Huang Lingshan’s brief account of the Yunmeng Marsh incident, Shen Chongming’s expression became somewhat peculiar.
He hadn’t expected to acquire the Profound Frost True Water so easily this time.
Especially hearing that Shen Li had gone to Yunmeng Marsh and even snatched the treasure that gathered the luck of all the people from the Lord of Fushan, Shen Chongming shook his head with a wry smile.
"That girl really doesn’t let one rest easy."
With a gentle smile and nod, Huang Lingshan replied, "There is nothing else now, why don’t you talk to us about your third uncle’s affairs."
Shen Chongming lowered his head and recounted everything about his third uncle Shen Wen’an, Xu Zhan, and the intelligence He Zhongyi had sent back during this time.
After he finished speaking, everyone looked solemn.
After Shen Wen’an and Xu Zhan lost their traces, He Zhongyi and Shen Xiuyun, while not daring to venture too deep into the Far West in search, did find the edge of the Endless Desert and personally saw the silhouettes of divine dragons rising into the void from the depths of the desert.
Cyan Ruo Sword House has deep roots in Danzhou and naturally understands the difference between a true dragon and a dragon species.
Upon hearing Shen Chongming mention that He Zhongyi and his companions saw the image of a dragon with deer horns and two legs appearing in the depth of the desert, they all instantly understood that those images were dragon species on the verge of transforming into true dragons.
"The dragon species transforms by sprouting true dragon horns and dragon claws on its belly, requiring at least the Purple Mansion Realm..."
"What exactly is hidden in the desert in the Far West?"
The Moonlight Sword Immortal murmured solemnly.
Huang Lingshan pondered briefly before saying, "We have to go and have a look to find out what’s there."
"From what Chongming said, the next spirit manifestation might still be decades away."
"We are waiting in the Yangnao Land anyway, so let’s go and see."
The path collapse in Yangnao Land is imminent, and whether Danzhou will be affected or not, once the path collapse starts, those predators attracted there won’t spare Danzhou.
The folks at Cyan Ruo Sword House also want to seize the opportunity while there’s still time to further enhance their abilities.
