359: Chapter 86: Fate and Destiny 359: Chapter 86: Fate and Destiny Lu Yuzhen’s request was simple.
After sending these people away,
Xie Xuanyi was to stay for the time being.
Xie Xuanyi had not planned to leave immediately anyway.
Even if Lu Yuzhen hadn’t made the request, he would have waited near Snow Mountain to see, if possible, the outcome of the battle between Emperor Qi and the True Dragon.
“Alright, I agree with you.”
Xie Xuanyi did not hesitate and agreed immediately.
Lord Lu was very pleased and nodded.
He crossed his arms behind his back and glided to the top of the sky, level with the Peacock Venerable.
Countless white papers flew around like heavy snow, and the dharma image of the Pure White Saint gradually faded away, easing the previously tense and volatile situation.
The people shrouded in white paper could not see the images in the sky.
But Xie Xuanyi knew.
Now, the two were negotiating with their Divine Souls.
“The Peacock can leave and doesn’t have to kill these people.”
A moment later, Lu Yuzhen transmitted his voice again, “But he wants me to give up the whereabouts of ‘Ao Ying’ and to take Prince Jiu away…
can you agree to these conditions?”
If outsiders saw this scene, they would find it somewhat absurd.
It was, after all, a discussion between Lu Yuzhen and the Peacock Venerable, two Yang Gods.
Yet this Paperman Taoist kept asking for Xie Xuanyi’s opinion.
“That’s impossible.”
Xie Xuanyi shook his head and said straightforwardly, “You saw when I sent Ao Ying away.
She is an important piece I have placed in Demon Country.
If I simply hand her over now, what meaning would our prior planning hold?”
Lu Yuzhen shrugged helplessly, “We should talk reasonably, right?
After all, Ao Ying did steal the Chi Ling City Secret Treasure first, so it’s only logical that the Peacock Venerable wants to retrieve it.”
“You can hand me over.”
Xie Xuanyi remained indifferent, “Let’s not discuss this.”
The reason he had sent Ao Ying away early was to avoid such a situation.
“Fine, fine, fine…”
Lu Yuzhen was amusingly angered by Xie Xuanyi’s attitude.
What a tough nut to crack.
Even after ten years of rebirth and relearning, Xie Xuanyi’s personality remained the same.
“As for the matter of Ao Ying, I can pretend to be oblivious.”
Lu Yuzhen sighed, “But I need to make some concessions.
Xie ancestor, you surely can’t be unwilling to release ‘Prince Jiu’ as well, can you?”
…
Xie Xuanyi frowned slightly, lost in thought.
Releasing Prince Jiu…
This concession seemed acceptable.
At the Great Yue Well, he had seen the tragic state of Prince Jiu.
This once unbeatable Demon Venerable had now lost an arm and had his Heart Lake occupied by Ruyi Dao.
Even if the Peacock Venerable intervened to remove the Ruyi Dao, he couldn’t heal the arm wound inflicted by the True Dragon Dao!
Prince Jiu, returning to Demon Country, would at least fall several realms.
Don’t even mention advancing to Yang God.
It would take a tremendous amount of effort and countless years just to return to his former realm.
Xie Xuanyi pondered for a moment, eventually nodded, “This is acceptable.”
He paused.
Xie Xuanyi raised an eyebrow, with a somewhat schadenfreude attitude, “But, after the Peacock sees Prince Jiu…
will he truly not go back on his word?”
He was somewhat curious.
What the Peacock Venerable would look like when he saw Prince Jiu.
“Prince Jiu is, after all, the Peacock’s most precious disciple.
If he sees his genius disciple, who might have ascended to Yang God, fall into such a miserable state, he will surely rage.”
Lu Yuzhen spoke with a wistful tone, “Had I known earlier, I would have taken action and captured this demon, so I wouldn’t be in such a headache now.”
If the Peacock raged, it would inevitably lead to another fierce battle.
It was clear.
Lord Lu really didn’t want to engage in combat.
Lu Yuzhen sighed softly, and finally transmitted his Divine Thought.
What exactly he said was unknown, but the Peacock Venerable nodded slightly and took several steps back.
Lu Yuzhen turned back, signaling towards the direction of the wind and sand.
Soon.
Within the bounds of Great Yue Kingdom, engulfed by Ruyi Dao, a fierce wind swept in, carrying countless white papers and a slender figure from the depths of the wind and sand—
“Space-bounded capture?”
Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes.
Lu Yuzhen’s ability was indeed extraordinary.
To capture Prince Jiu of Yin God Realm from dozens of miles away meant his Divine Thought could reach every corner of Great Yue Kingdom.
Most importantly!
Emperor Qi and the True Dragon were currently battling, and with Prince Jiu’s Heart Lake being eroded by Ruyi Dao, retrieving anything from Ruyi Cave Heaven that belonged to Emperor Qi was no easy task!
Lu Yuzhen’s usually nonchalant demeanor now looked much more solemn.
He held one hand behind.
The other hand lightly pressed on the waterfall of Ruyi Dao cascading at a distance.
The sky full of white papers shattered by the wind and sand, reformed, shattered again, and reformed…
To take away “Prince Jiu” from this Cave Heaven, they needed to collide with Ruyi Dao.
Clearly.
Lu Yuzhen had to pay a corresponding price to take someone out of this place, and the conversation with the Peacock Venerable earlier was probably related to this action.
Moments later.
Prince Jiu, missing an arm and with a chaotic Heart Lake, was wrapped in white papers and brought before the Peacock Venerable.
“My promise is fulfilled.”
Lu Yuzhen spoke, “This is your disciple…
the other Demon Cultivators of Chi Ling City have all died in this Secret Realm.”
As his voice fell, he separated a strand of Tao Rules, hovering above Xie Xuanyi’s head.
The white papers rustled, enveloping Xie Xuanyi within.
Indeed.
The moment the Peacock Venerable saw Prince Jiu, his entire demeanor changed!
The mass of colorful light enshrouding his face suddenly burst into flames, turning into a blazing inferno.
The colorful dharma image reappeared between heaven and earth!
However…
The Peacock Venerable did not make a move, he managed to control his anger, slowly extended his arms, and caught Prince Jiu floating in the air.
