Invincible Soul Emperor

Inside Xue Wei’s courtyard.

Jiang Qi followed Ah San, winding around until he finally arrived at his destination.

"Haha, Saint Son Jiang, I’ve been waiting for you finally." Xue Wei greeted Jiang Qi with a hearty laugh upon seeing him.

Jiang Qi looked at Xue Wei in front of him, scrutinized him up and down, and then snorted coldly: "Haha, I’m afraid I don’t have such fortune to be waited upon by you!"

Jiang Qi’s sarcastic words did not faze Xue Wei.

Xue Wei remained smiling, "Saint Son, why don’t we sit down first? This is freshly brewed tea; would you like to try some?"

Xue Wei was very polite and courteously invited Jiang Qi to sit down.

Jiang Qi had come, so he wouldn’t be polite with Xue Wei. He sat down casually on the chair.

"Xue Wei, you really think highly of yourself. Asking me to come but blocking me at the gate. It seems you don’t want our cooperation after all." After sitting down, Jiang Qi gave Xue Wei a indifferent glance.

Upon hearing his words, Xue Wei’s demeanor immediately turned serious.

"Saint Son Jiang, you say there were people blocking you at the gate! That’s truly bold of them. Rest assured, I will make sure all those people at the gate are dealt with later!"

Xue Wei’s attitude was perfectly courteous.

Although Jiang Qi felt a bit smug inside, he still showed an unsatisfied look.

"Saint Son Jiang, I was indeed delayed this time. However, I hope the matter of our cooperation is still under your consideration. After all, Ye Qingchen might not stay here long. It’s no simple matter to act against guests in the Xue Family."

Once Xue Wei said this, Jiang Qi immediately responded: "Xue Wei, are you threatening me with your words?"

"I dare not! I’m just reminding Saint Son so that if we cooperate, you will surely gain more than just a little benefit!" Xue Wei assured strongly.

Jiang Qi chuckled: "Xue Wei, don’t forget, my cooperation with you is only to deal with Ye Qingchen, while you seek to compete for the Saint Position. If this cooperation falls through, it’s quite obvious who will suffer the loss, isn’t it?"

Xue Wei nodded repeatedly, his expression very earnest.

"Indeed, Saint Son, the outcome is clear. That’s why I sincerely invited you to discuss. After all, I heard Saint Son has always desired something from our Xue Family."

As Xue Wei said this, Jiang Qi’s eyes widened suddenly.

"What thing?"

He indeed desired a specific treasure from the Xue Family, but he hadn’t confided this thought to anyone.

How did this Xue Wei know?

Xue Wei smiled and shook his head, "Saint Son, how I found out is something I can’t tell you right now. As long as we complete our cooperation, and you help me ascend to the Saint Position, then not only can I assist you with Ye Qingchen, but you could also borrow the family treasure."

Xue Wei’s proposition was very enticing. If it were only about Ye Qingchen, Jiang Qi would definitely make things difficult for him.

But now, it’s different, now there’s the family treasure...

Jiang Qi sat there without saying a word, while Xue Wei refilled his cup of tea.

"Saint Son Jiang, we don’t need to hurry with time. Please sit here and consider carefully."

Just as he finished saying this.

From the distant mountaintop came the sound of a strong energy explosion.

Jiang Qi was startled by the sudden sound.

"What’s going on there?" Jiang Qi curiously asked.

Who dares create such commotion here at the Xue Family?

Xue Wei slightly lifted his head, looked in that direction and smiled: "Ah, such a commotion, Saint Son Jiang, I fear you don’t have much time left to ponder."

"What do you mean by that?" Jiang Qi asked, puzzled.

"That would be Xue Zhao, who’s breaking through during closed-door cultivation, competing with me for the Saint Position. Xue Zhao’s relationship with Ye Qingchen is unusually close, with her protection, it will be even more difficult for you to make a move." Xue Wei recounted the situation with a smile.

Jiang Qi immediately furrowed his brow seriously.

Damn it, with this cooperation, he’s in a passive position!

If that Ye Qingchen really gets the Buddha’s Relic, he would undoubtedly be livid!

After a long silence, Jiang Qi finally spoke slowly: "I can agree to cooperate with you, but besides those two things you promised me, I have one more condition!"

Xue Wei nodded to signal, "Saint Son, please speak."

"I also want the Buddha’s Relic!"

Jiang Qi not only wants to deal with Ye Qingchen but also to obtain the Buddha’s Relic he seeks, later letting Qin Yue see it clearly!

Xue Wei heard his demand and agreed immediately: "Alright! Saint Son Jiang, rest assured, this matter will definitely satisfy you. However, I also hope Saint Son can aid me in ascending to the Saint Heir’s position!"

"Hahaha, Xue Wei, as long as you satisfy me, then this Saint Heir position, no one can take it from you!"

Jiang Qi stood up, since the matter was settled, there was no reason for him to linger around.

As for Ye Qingchen, he just needs Wu Chang to cooperate with Xue Wei; he can sit back and wait for good news!

"Xue Wei, I’ll leave Wu Chang here to lend you a hand; no objections to that?" Before leaving, Jiang Qi glanced at Wu Chang behind him.

Leaving Wu Chang here isn’t just to deal with Ye Qingchen, but also to prevent Xue Wei from pulling any tricks.

Xue Wei didn’t mind and nodded: "Since he’s under Saint Son, he’s a distinguished guest here. Rest assured."

Jiang Qi, seeing his attitude, nodded satisfactorily before leaving.

Wu Chang naturally stayed behind.

"Haha, Brother Wu Chang, staying here makes dealing with Ye Qingchen much easier." Watching Jiang Qi leave, Xue Wei chuckled as he spoke to Wu Chang.

Wu Chang gave him a cold look: "I have a request."

"Speak." Xue Wei maintained his smiling demeanor.

"I must be involved in killing Ye Qingchen!" Wu Chang was well aware of why Jiang Qi left him behind.

Yet, Ye Qingchen was his ultimate target here.

Xue Wei nodded: "Rest assured, Ye Qingchen won’t escape this time."

Elsewhere, Ye Qingchen sneezed hard.

"Qi Tian, it’s been so long already, wasn’t she supposed to come out? Why haven’t we seen her yet?"

Ye Qingchen looked up at the mountain where the explosion occurred, seeing no sign of anyone emerging.

Qi Tian quickly turned back: "Ah, that mountain is so far from here, Miss needs some time to return! Just wait patiently!"

Ye Qingchen shrugged helplessly.

At present, Xue Zhao is his only contact in the Xue Family, but he’s unsure if she’ll lend him her support.
