Chapter 1593: Transaction, Bi Luo Chun

Bi Luo Chun left the Formation, left the mist, left that dangerous place; before he could catch his breath, three humans appeared before him—a man and two women. The two women stepped back, daring not to cross the man; evidently the man was the one in charge here.

His gaze swept the surroundings, attracted by the beautiful environment of Longshe Shan; the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth was dense, and the Formation still covered the area. Outside, countless mists obscured the view. Standing here, one could see clearly what was outside, while those outside could not see this place. In other words, his every move was observed by these people. At that moment, Bi Luo Chun's heart grew heavy.

Nevertheless, he need not worry about his life for now, because the man did not intend to kill him. It would be easy for the man to kill him, given the great pressure and the huge gap in strength, yet the man did not act, but met him and made clear that he harbored no murderous intent.

Bi Luo Chun dared not lower his guard nor speak recklessly. After a round of observation, he understood roughly that this place was a hidden paradise; within the Mangshan Mountain Range, humans were concealed—a surprise to him, especially so deep inside the range.

This area is the territory of the Luotian White Snake Clan, tightly guarded by the Luotian White Snake Clan. Ordinary humans cannot approach, yet unexpectedly there were humans here, two women. Bi Luo Chun's thoughts wandered, and his gaze fell on Heishanyang. The moment he saw Heishanyang, his eyes could not shift, fixed on Heishanyang; his eyes grew excited, then filled with killing intent.

It is it, it is it, it's it.

Bi Luo Chun's target this time, the beast that had dug up Qingtian Gate's ancestral tomb, was indeed here. It had indeed appeared; although it had changed greatly, now clothed in gentle garb, no longer the unruly and arrogant creature of old.

Yet Bi Luo Chun recognized it at a glance; no matter how the beast had changed, its eyes were the same. His intuition told him this was that very beast, no mistake possible.

Heishanyang noticed Bi Luo Chun's change of expression, realizing the kid had recognized him. It seemed Qingtian Gate truly cared about him, not having forgotten his existence despite the passage of time; every small detail about him was remembered.

It glanced at Qinglong Daoren, understanding the kid's intent, and hurriedly said: "Kid, what's the use of keeping this kid? Better to kill him."

"The Qingtian Gate kid is extremely hard to deal with. If you don't kill him, the elders of his Faction will soon locate this place. Kid, don't leave a lingering threat; let me kill him for you."

While speaking, Heishanyang intended to act, to destroy the corpse and erase all traces.

Bi Luo Chun heard this and shrieked: "Beast, how dare you strike at me?"

"You beast, you dug up the tomb of Qingtian Gate's patriarch and still dare such audacity. Do you really think no one remains in Qingtian Gate?"

At this moment, Bi Luo Chun could not tolerate it; if he said nothing more, Heishanyang would truly kill him.

He was convinced that Qinglong Daoren did not intend to kill him; although Qingtian Gate is not a hegemon, its overall strength is not weak, and not just anyone can offend it.

Killing him would be tantamount to trampling the dignity and reputation of Qingtian Gate, something a Faction cannot permit.

Unless you surpass the entire Qingtian Gate, a Strong One may trample the dignity of the weak.

"For countless years, Qingtian Gate has been searching for you. Did you think hiding in the Mangshan Mountain Range would keep you safe? Hmph, I tell you, it's impossible. Qingtian Gate has already located you; I am merely the vanguard. Kill me, and the Faction will not let you go."

Bi Luo Chun turned his head, smiled and cupped his hands toward Qinglong Daoren, saying: "Esteemed Demon King senior, Bi Luo Chun of Qingtian Gate pays his respects. I may have slightly offended; please, Demon King, do not blame me."

He is shrewd and also understands how to assess the situation.

Qinglong Daoren felt favor toward Bi Luo Chun; the kid was quite good. At the crucial moment, he saw the key to breaking the deadlock, neither disgracing the Faction's dignity nor allowing Heishanyang to swagger excessively, while also saving face. This composure was truly remarkable.

"Rashly intruding on the Demon King's territory was my fault. Whatever compensation the Demon King requires, I, Bi Luo Chun, will provide, guaranteeing no further dispute."

For the crime of intrusion, I can compensate, I can apologize.

As for Heishanyang's existence, he was certain this beast was extremely cunning; if possible, he hoped to take Heishanyang away.

"Oh?" Qinglong Daoren's eyes lit up. Compensation—this kid was very clever, knowing he must pay the price for his life.

Bi Luo Chun, seeing this, realized there was a chance, and through gritted teeth produced a storage bag—his years of savings; he could not refuse to hand it over.

"Demon King, this is my compensation."

He gritted his teeth and handed it over.

Qinglong Daoren, naturally unsparing, took the storage bag, glanced at it, and said with great satisfaction: "Not bad, Bi Luo Chun, right? You're good. I, the king, forgive your intrusion, withdraw now."

Bi Luo Chun hurriedly said: "Demon King, I wish to make a deal with you."

"You?" Qinglong Daoren examined him, doubting his strength.

Bi Luo Chun immediately replied: "Yes, it's me. I, representing Qingtian Gate, wish to make a deal with you, guaranteeing your satisfaction."

Qinglong Daoren understood what he wanted to say, did not expose him, and still gave him a chance, extending his hand: "Speak."

Bi Luo Chun was thrilled; he knew the matter was half settled. The Demon King before him did not despise humans, unlike other Demon Kings who, at the sight of a human, would immediately devour them rather than converse.

"Demon King, my target this time is it. If you are willing to endure the pain of parting, I, on behalf of Qingtian Gate, thank you for your kindness. Whatever you need, I can give you."

For Heishanyang, Bi Luo Chun gritted his teeth and let Qinglong Daoren speak.

Qinglong Daoren looked at Heishanyang in surprise; he did not expect Bi Luo Chun to be so bold, letting him speak, which indirectly indicated that Heishanyang was more important than he had thought. This Heishanyang had dug up someone's ancestral tomb, surely obtaining something valuable; otherwise the other party could not have offered such a price.

It defies common sense.

"May I ask why? If it merely dug up your ancestral tomb, it would not warrant a millennia-long pursuit, let alone a willingness to pay any price to take it away."

Bi Luo Chun knew this Demon King could not be easily fooled; these Demon Kings are all clever, each having emerged from seas of corpses and blood, naturally not foolish.

However, speaking directly would surely cause this Demon King to open his mouth like a lion, revealing the Qingtian Gate secret, which must not be disclosed.

If he remained silent, the person before him would not agree to the deal, nor hand over Heishanyang.
