Chapter 1221: Angel’s Heart
The Yudou Treasure is both the starting point and the flashpoint of this event, with the keys to open the treasure being undoubtedly the most crucial aspect.
Currently, the Four Symbols Sect holds one key, the Void Mountain Sect has another, one is unknown, and the last one is in the hands of Wang Kun.
Unquestionably, the more keys obtained, the more advantageous one becomes. If they could acquire Wang Kun’s key, it would mean holding half of them. At that point, the Star Sea Martial Realm would gain significant advantages in this global Martial Realm competition.
The martial artist asked, "I could contact him before, but I’m not sure if it’s possible now."
Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow: "Then try to contact him now. If you reach Wang Kun, inform him that you’ve acquired the Angel Sect’s treasure from Sword Demon. Then have him come to Qian Nan to pick you up."
The martial artist frowned: "Pick us up? That might be difficult. He’ll certainly tell us to find him abroad ourselves. Right now, he’s like a startled bird."
Liu Zixuan smiled enigmatically: "Just tell him directly, even though you’ve gotten the treasure from Sword Demon, you’re being pursued by someone named Liu Zixuan. He should come to pick you up personally."
"Liu Zixuan!"
The martial artist’s eyes widened: "You’re Liu Zixuan from Lingxiu Village!"
"Absolutely!" Liu Zixuan snorted coldly.
The martial artist’s face flashed an odd expression, then he took out his phone and dialed. Shortly after, the call connected, and a very tired voice came through: "Why are you calling at this hour? Don’t you know there’s a time difference between countries?"
"Boss Kun, we’ve acquired the item." The martial artist whispered.
Because the speakerphone was on, Liu Zixuan could clearly hear the other side.
There was a sound of washing face, and then Wang Kun’s voice was louder than before: "Didn’t I tell you just to follow? That’s a Life and Death Realm expert."
The martial artist glanced at Liu Zixuan, not daring to have any other thoughts, he spoke lightly: "We used a little trick, when those foreigners and Sword Demon were at a deadlock, we stepped forward and snatched the treasure."
"That’s great! With that treasure, our power can increase significantly." Wang Kun laughed heartily: "Then don’t stay in Star Sea, hurry back."
"Boss Kun, it’s best if you could come to pick us up." The martial artist said.
"What’s wrong?"
"Although we’ve snatched the treasure, we’re being watched by Liu Zixuan."
Upon hearing this, Wang Kun fell silent for a moment: "Where are you now?"
"In Qian Nan, still safe for now."
As Liu Zixuan heard this, he was preparing to wait calmly for Wang Kun’s arrival. But unexpectedly, as he relaxed, the martial artist suddenly shouted into the phone: "Boss Kun, don’t come, we’ve been caught by Liu Zixuan!"
Beep beep beep...
The phone hung up, and the room instantly fell into a deathly silence.
The martial artist had been cooperating with Liu Zixuan up to this point but spoke the truth in the end.
Before Liu Zixuan could say anything, the martial artist laughed coldly: "I know you’re strong and I’ve heard about your methods. If you want to kill, just kill. Alive, we are people of Dragon Spirit; dead, we are the spirit of Dragon Spirit. Protecting Boss Kun one last time is a death without regrets."
Looking at his calm demeanor, Liu Zixuan felt a mix of emotions inside.
He was naturally angry because this would alert Wang Kun, making it much harder to obtain the key from him now.
Yet, he was somewhat impressed because their words touched Liu Zixuan deeply.
Alive, they are people of Dragon Spirit; dead, they are the spirit of Dragon Spirit.
These martial artists simply stood on the wrong side; if they switched camps, they’d undoubtedly be the most loyal warrior friends or brothers.
Moreover, this person was quite smart. What he said to Wang Kun according to Liu Zixuan’s instructions wasn’t genuine cooperation; it was another way of conveying a message to Wang Kun.
Should he have immediately revealed their situation over the phone, he would likely have been killed by Liu Zixuan before he finished speaking.
But now, he had already told Wang Kun the time, place, and people involved.
Today, in Qian Nan Land, Liu Zixuan captured them, and the Angel Sect’s treasure also fell into Liu Zixuan’s hands. These are critical pieces of information.
Firstly, it lets Wang Kun know not to send people to Star Sea anymore, or else they’ll be captured by Liu Zixuan.
Secondly, if he wants to acquire the treasure in the future, he must grow stronger and then come find Liu Zixuan.
This martial artist’s mind was rather meticulous.
Seeing Liu Zixuan hesitate, Luo Xi stepped forward: "What’s wrong?"
Liu Zixuan shook his head and asked the remaining two martial artists: "Have you colluded with the Angel Sect?"
"No! There’s no reason to lie, Dragon Spirit is a Star Sea Sect and would never cooperate with foreign powers!" The martial artist replied proudly.
Liu Zixuan gestured: "You can leave!"
"Leave?" The two martial artists and Luo Xi were stunned, clearly confused about Liu Zixuan’s meaning.
"Go!" Liu Zixuan turned away: "Don’t wait for me to change my mind!"
Though bewildered, the two martial artists stood up and walked outside.
"Why?" Luo Xi asked perplexedly.
"Because he’s matured."
Sword Demon standing aside commented: "If Liu Zixuan had just entered the Martial Realm, he would have killed them without hesitation. But now he won’t, it’s simple. He feels these martial artists still have loyalty to Star Sea at heart. Their current predicament isn’t their fault; it’s because Master Wang chose the wrong path and followed the wrong people. It’s not their concern."
"Furthermore, Liu Zixuan is conveying a message to Wang Kun that as long as they don’t harm Star Sea, they can live. Honestly, he’s using this situation to urge Wang Kun to guard the key and stay out of the Yudou Treasure affair."
Luo Xi contemplated for a moment: "If they grasp Zixuan’s intent, then one key won’t appear in the Yudou Treasure battle, thwarting those foreign martial artists, right?"
Sword Demon nodded: "That’s why I say Liu Zixuan’s matured. This maturity may relate to stepping into the Life and Death Realm, or perhaps it’s about elevating his mindset. In any case, it’s a positive development."
Liu Zixuan grinned: "Let’s not talk about me anymore. Now that those Dragon Spirit martial artists have left, the only ones remaining in Qian Nan Land are the elders sent by Angel Sect. Let’s find a place to settle down, treat your wounds, and then eliminate them when we’re ready."
Sword Demon considered this and pulled out a box from his pocket: "This item isn’t very useful to me. Since you’re here, I’ll leave it to you."
"Is this the Angel Sect’s treasure?" Liu Zixuan frowned as he accepted the box: "What’s inside?"
"Angel’s Heart!" Sword Demon stated gruffly.
