Chapter 493: I, Have Returned!

In the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, Qing Qiu had painstakingly organized all the information regarding Quzhao Prefecture and Yinghuang Prefecture since the war for Xu Qing, and even thoughtfully divided it into two jade slips.

She delivered them to Xu Qing, who was resting with his eyes closed in the Book-Ordering Division.

This work was not done by her alone; other Sword-Wielders cooperated in the review. After ensuring there were no errors, they needed to add their own imprints to them.

This was a method of accountability set up to prevent omissions.

Xu Qing opened his eyes and took the jade slips to examine them.

In the current Fenghai County, wanting to obtain troops, those alien races were impossible, so the only two places Xu Qing could think of were Quzhao Prefecture and Yinghuang Prefecture.

Because of the outbreak of the Clothing Prohibition and the Corpse Prohibition, these two prefectures were ordered by the Palace Master not to go to the front line, but to fully suppress the two prohibitions and not let the two prohibitions riot during the war.

Fenghai County had a total of thirteen prefectures.

If the power of these two prefectures could be released, it would be equivalent to providing nearly 20% of the power to the current front line.

For the front line, this was an extremely huge troop aid.

But the difficulty of this matter was too great. Even if Xu Qing could invite Qing Qin to take action, the difficulty was not small.

So at this moment, he began to study the information of these two prefectures.

"The disaster of the Clothing Prohibition has been basically suppressed, but this is the most critical moment. Now the entire Quzhao Prefecture, under the coordination of its Sword-Wielding Court, is going all out to carry out the final sealing. During this period, to prevent the Clothing Prohibition from counterattacking, combat power cannot be lacking. The time required is another month."

Xu Qing frowned and sighed secretly.

One month was too long. For the current front line of Fenghai County, it was too late.

But if they didn't seal it, the land of a prefecture would first be ravaged by the forbidden land, and the roots of all human sects in that prefecture would be destroyed. Countless human races would also be alienated into forbidden land rations and completely alienated.

If it spread, the interior of Fenghai County would inevitably be in chaos.

And the alien races in these two prefectures also mostly participated in the sealing. After all, unlike the situation in other prefectures, the danger at their doorstep made the alien races in these two prefectures have to take action.

Therefore, Xu Qing found it very difficult to issue a decree to cancel the sealing and head to the front line immediately.

Especially Yinghuang Prefecture, where Xu Qing's base camp was located, was even more so. Even with the cooperation of more than 90 tribes on the forbidden sea to fight against the Corpse Prohibition, and gathering most of the power of Yinghuang Prefecture, it only barely suppressed the disaster of the Corpse Prohibition.

Now it was also in a stalemate.

Xu Qing was silent. He carefully checked the jade slips. After a long time, when he was reviewing the information of Yinghuang Prefecture, his eyes suddenly focused, noticing a piece of information recorded in the routine report of the Yinghuang Prefecture Sword-Wielding Court.

"Most of the alien races and forces in Yinghuang Prefecture participated in the war against the Corpse Prohibition, but some did not participate, led by the Three Lingzhen Dao Mountain and the Ghost Emperor Mountain."

"But after communication, these two major forces agreed not to step out of their range by half a step during this period."

"The Three Spirits of Town Dao Mountain and the Seven Souls of Ghost Emperor Mountain are all transformed from the Ghost Emperor's own soul, and the residual imprint of Ghost Emperor Mountain cannot be extinguished without reaching the Spirit-Storing stage, so they are all immortal bodies. Forcing them to fight will inevitably lead to friction, and if there is no sincerity, it will be of no benefit to sealing the Corpse Prohibition, and instead, one will have to be distracted to pay attention."

"Therefore, to avoid complications and waste of time, our prefecture's Sword-Wielding Court decided to allow them not to fight."

Xu Qing stared at this information and pondered for a long time. He stood up and paced in the Book-Ordering Division.

His eyes were sometimes determined and sometimes hesitant, as if weighing.

Beside him, Qing Qiu and Xiang Ningyan rarely saw Xu Qing so hesitant. Even when he was the Black Heaven Son, they hadn't seen Xu Qing like this, so they looked at each other and instinctively didn't dare to breathe.

Just like that, after Xu Qing walked dozens of steps with a frown, he felt the Ghost Emperor Palace in his body, paused his steps, looked up at the sky outside, and determination appeared in his expression.

"Qing Qiu, Xiang Ningyan, you two sit in the Book-Ordering Division, summarize the front-line information, monitor the progress of material escort, and grant Qing Qiu authority. If there is anything important, you can borrow the Sword-Wielding Palace array to transmit sound to my command sword."

Qing Qiu puffed out her chest and was about to speak loudly, but thinking of her pride, she suppressed her instinct and nodded calmly.

Xiang Ningyan didn't have so many concerns, shouted yes, and then asked curiously.

"Senior Brother Xu, are you going out?"

Xu Qing glanced at Xiang Ningyan and didn't answer this question. He didn't want to tell others his specific destination before setting off, so he spoke indifferently.

"I'm going to the Clothing Prohibition."

After speaking, Xu Qing walked out of the Book-Ordering Division without any hesitation, lifted his steps, and walked toward the sky. In a few steps, he reached the firmament.

The big bird Qing Qin 'cawed', revealing three huge heads from the clouds, looking at Xu Qing excitedly, revealing a swallowing action, as if it still wanted to extinguish a tribe.

Its right head even poked rapidly beneath Xu Qing, carrying Xu Qing on its head.

As Xu Qing's divine sense was transmitted, Qing Qin's eyes revealed strong brilliance. With a flap of its wings, the sky of the capital directly exploded. Amidst the rumbling, Qing Qin carried Xu Qing and disappeared from this area.

Qing Qin's speed was so fast that it was not much slower than a teleportation array at short range, but in the long run, it was ultimately not as convenient as a teleportation array. However, Xu Qing didn't want to expose his specific destination in advance. Although he also understood that this possibility was not great, necessary caution was still needed.

So after leaving the range of the capital, he found a teleportation array of the Sword-Wielding Palace, stepped into it with Qing Qin, who had shrunk a lot, and disappeared inside.

Just like that, after several twists and turns, three days later, Xu Qing and Qing Qin appeared

at the border of Yinghuang Prefecture, outside that northern plain.

Although it was noon, the sunlight here seemed to only have brightness and no temperature, so the icy wind blew whistling, lifting pieces of snow to form a sea, swirling between heaven and earth.

The cold wind was bone-chilling, and the earth was covered in silver. Only the Taichu Liyou Pillar standing in the distance was heaven-shaking and earth-shattering, giving people a spectacular feeling.

It was just that in Xu Qing's memory, the countless tents surrounding the Taichu Liyou Pillar made this place a human gathering place like a town.

But now, most of the tents here were empty. The cold wind rushed through, blowing the countless tents to sway, making a clattering sound.

Only sporadic elderly figures would occasionally appear in the cold wind, wrapped tightly.

These people were not Sword-Wielders, but residents here.

Obviously, they were left behind by the Sword-Wielding Court and were not allowed to go to the battlefield.

Xu Qing looked at the black palace on the top of the Taichu Liyou Pillar in the sky. He could feel the number of Sword-Wielders existing there was also not large.

"Taichu Liyou Pillar..." Xu Qing signaled Qing Qin to circle in the sky of this place.

As the clouds and mist gathered due to Qing Qin's arrival, Xu Qing, in the mist, stared at this heaven-shaking pillar. This time, his purpose wanted to be achieved, and he needed to verify it with this Taichu Liyou Pillar.

So Xu Qing's right hand suddenly lifted, grabbing slightly in the air.

At the same time, the Ghost Emperor Palace in his body operated, and the Ghost Emperor figure sitting cross-legged inside suddenly opened his eyes.

Instantly, the Taichu Liyou Pillar shook violently. This scene immediately attracted the attention of the rogue cultivators here and the Yinghuang Prefecture Sword-Wielding Court. As their expressions changed, they also noticed the big bird's giant shadow looming in the clouds in the sky.

"Who comes!"

After arriving in Yinghuang Prefecture, concealment was meaningless. Xu Qing, standing on Qing Qin, took out his command sword and spoke calmly.

"Xu Qing."

As Xu Qing's voice came out, under the flap of Qing Qin's wings, the clouds and mist surrounding them dispersed, and his figure was immediately noticed by the Sword-Wielders left behind in the Yinghuang Prefecture Sword-Wielding Court.

In other prefectures, perhaps Sword-Wielders had to identify the name first, then identify Xu Qing's appearance, to initially know the identity, and then cooperate with the command sword to finally confirm.

But in Yinghuang Prefecture, Xu Qing's appearance was incomparably clear to the Sword-Wielders.

After all, his promotion and ten-thousand-foot light appeared under the witness of all Sword-Wielders in Yinghuang Prefecture. So after the Sword-Wielding Court's array dispersed and confirmed Xu Qing's command sword, one Sword-Wielder figure after another flew out rapidly.

"Xu Qing!"

"It's Book-Ordering official Xu!"

These Sword-Wielders, Xu Qing was mostly familiar with them. After seeing Xu Qing, their expressions also had closeness, and they bowed one after another. One of the Sword-Wielders responsible for guarding stepped forward and spoke respectfully.

"Book-Ordering official Xu, is it to open the Taichu Liyou Pillar? Do we need to cooperate?"

Xu Qing shook his head. He knew that the Ghost Cave was suppressed under the Taichu Liyou Pillar and could not be opened easily, and he was only trying here, so he grabbed with his right hand abruptly. Immediately, the Taichu Liyou Pillar shook even more violently.

But he understood that he could only do this much. Wanting to truly shake and take out the Taichu Liyou Pillar was impossible to complete with his current cultivation.

However, Xu Qing's purpose was not to take out the Taichu Liyou Pillar, but...

"Artifact Spirit!" Xu Qing suddenly spoke, his voice echoing like heaven's thunder. He was calling the artifact spirit on the Taichu Liyou Pillar. This was his purpose.

After a long time, with the shaking of the Taichu Liyou Pillar, a low moan that spread throughout the world expanded from this Taichu Liyou Pillar.

While the sound pierced the nine heavens and shook all directions, a pair of huge eyes emerged on the Taichu Liyou Pillar. Vicissitudes permeated all directions. When looking at Xu Qing, there was clearly doubt in these eyes.

This scene shocked the Sword-Wielders here. They naturally knew that the Taichu Liyou Pillar had an artifact spirit, but usually, this artifact spirit was in a sleeping state, and only the Great Elder of the entire Sword-Wielding Court could communicate with it.

But now, under Xu Qing's call, the other party actually woke up.

Xu Qing stared at the eyes of the Taichu Liyou Pillar's artifact spirit. The Ghost Emperor Palace in his body shook more and more, and the Ghost Emperor figure sitting cross-legged inside also revealed brilliance in his eyes.

Xu Qing pondered. He felt it was not enough, so he waved his hand to borrow the power of the Demon Talisman. Heaven and earth changed color behind him, clouds surged in all directions, and a blurred Ghost Emperor Mountain descended abruptly.

"Ghost Emperor Mountain!"

"This... this..."

For other prefectures, they were not so familiar with Ghost Emperor Mountain, nor would they immediately understand its significance. But for Yinghuang Prefecture cultivators, the existence of Ghost Emperor Mountain was incomparably clear. After recognizing it at a glance at this moment, their expressions changed drastically, incomparably horrified.

And the Taichu Liyou Pillar also shook to the limit at this moment. The doubt in the artifact spirit's eyes immediately turned into confusion, and there was even a hint of excitement.

Seeing this, Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. This time returning to Yinghuang Prefecture, everything he did relied on the Ghost Emperor Palace, so he had to verify first whether his thoughts were established.

"Artifact Spirit, do you recognize me?" Xu Qing suddenly spoke.

"The Emperor is awakening!" The artifact spirit on the Taichu Liyou Pillar, after being silent for a few breaths, transmitted a vast divine sense. It didn't answer Xu Qing's question but said four words containing other meanings.

This was somewhat inconsistent with Xu Qing's judgment when he came. According to his analysis, it should be something like inheritance.

But it didn't matter. The awakening of the artifact spirit met the first step of Xu Qing's plan, so he spoke softly.

"Then, can you inform the Three Souls and Seven Souls of this matter, tell them... I, have come."

A businessman, wanting to prove that his goods are good and effective, needs the buyer's recognition and trust.

If the businessman walks over and speaks directly to the buyer, the effect is very poor, even if some evidence is taken out, the effect is not controllable.

But if there is an endorsement with considerable weight, this kind of recommendation from others is naturally different.

This was the reason Xu Qing came to the Taichu Liyou Pillar, and it was also the first step of his plan.

Very important.

But if it really couldn't succeed, Xu Qing also had other methods, just that it would be much more tortuous.

And his ultimate goal was to be a businessman and conduct a deal with the Three Souls and Seven Souls of Ghost Emperor Mountain.

The artifact spirit of the Taichu Liyou Pillar was his endorsement.

So after a stick of incense, when the artifact spirit of the Taichu Liyou Pillar transmitted this matter to the Three Souls and Seven Souls by its special method, Xu Qing left here.

In the sky, he stood on Qing Qin's right head, speeding toward the direction of Sanling Town Dao Mountain.

As he headed south, the wind and snow gradually dissipated, the earth gradually shed its white color and turned emerald green, until a vast Wan Gu River appeared in Xu Qing's eyes, and memories of the past rose in his heart.

Xu Qing didn't expect that he would return in such a way after leaving for several years. At this moment, amidst silence, Qing Qin let out a 'caw', pulling Xu Qing out of his memories.

"Senior, it's not easy to extinguish a tribe now, but I will look for opportunities." Xu Qing hurriedly spoke.

Qing Qin felt some regret, flapped its wings, and according to Xu Qing's guidance, approached Sanling Town Dao Mountain rapidly. With its extreme speed, it didn't take long before Sanling Town Dao Mountain was in sight.

This place had skeletons like ridges, bones like forests, human skin stuck in pieces, hair turned into felt, and a wind of withered hair blew, paving the earth black.

Looking from mid-air, it was even more obvious. It was a human purgatory of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, smelling of fishy stench.

In the past, Xu Qing didn't understand why the Sword-Wielding Court would allow such a force to exist, but now he knew very well that the Ghost Emperor had not truly died. Its status was so high that its Three Souls and Seven Souls also possessed immortality.

This also made them extremely special. Ghost Emperor divine breath exists for one day, they do not perish for one day.

So it was not that they couldn't be extinguished, but that they couldn't be extinguished.

Even if they were forced, they would abandon self-independence, and the Ghost Emperor... would awaken.

At that time, the life and death of Fenghai County would be in the hands of that awakened Ghost Emperor, in a single thought.

This matter could not be gambled on.

And according to the Sword-Wielding Palace's judgment on this type of ancient Spirit-Storing, they would be hungry to the extreme the moment they awakened, and devouring a prefecture or a county was not impossible.

Thus, the attitude of successive County Governors toward the Ghost Emperor was the same as toward forbidden lands.

In the final analysis, it was still the decline of the human race. If it were the era of the Ancient Emperor Xuanyou, these Three Souls and Seven Souls would be suppressed if they were to be suppressed, and the Ghost Emperor awakening would also be unable to escape suppression.

And these Three Souls and Seven Souls also knew that everything should not be excessive, so they didn't expand their power too much. There were people from various tribes of small countries within their borders.

Xu Qing had no good feelings for these Three Spirits, but now the front line was in crisis, so some things had to be done even if he didn't like them in his heart.

At this moment, as they arrived, Sanling Town Dao Mountain was filled with wind and clouds, the earth shook, and cracks appeared in the firmament. Of the three huge mountain peaks that originally existed here, only two remained now.

The mountain where Youjing once resided had long since collapsed, and now only a low mountain remained.

The other two mountain peaks transformed into huge chairs, still the same as before.

On the right mountain, around the chair made of giant beast bones, countless dead souls permeated. A figure that was huge but as thin as a stick was sitting there.

His whole body was bony, and the huge meat tumor filled with purple-red blood vessels on his back was wriggling regularly, transmitting a booming sound like a war drum, echoing heaven and earth, shaking the heart.

This figure was exactly the Earth Soul of the Three Spirits, Jueyang Spirit Venerable!

He lifted his head now, looking coldly at Qing Qin speeding from the sky. As for the highest mountain peak beside him, it was shrouded in thick black mist, and the figure inside could not be seen. Only bursts of panting came from within.

That was the place where the strongest soul of Ghost Emperor Mountain, the Heaven Soul Tai Guang Spirit Venerable, was located!

And around the mountain body, countless Sanling Town Dao Mountain cultivators, feeling the pressure from the sky, trembled one after another, and Jueyang Spirit Venerable suddenly opened his big mouth.

"Stop!"

"Caw!"

With Qing Qin's ferocity, how could it stop because of a word from this Jueyang Spirit Venerable? Thus, after responding with a ferocious sound, Qing Qin circled around Sanling Town Dao Mountain constantly. Even the head on the left spread out, sweeping horizontally on the ground rapidly, opening its big mouth, and devouring one cultivator after another here.

The sound of chewing came out, and shrill screams echoed. Seeming to feel that the taste was not bad, this Qing Qin landed on the ground with a boom.

Its massive body was higher than Sanling Mountain. It stood there, constantly eating the snacks that were scrambling to flee and wail around it, looking provocatively at the Earth Soul.

However, it also knew the general purpose of Xu Qing this time, so after glancing at it, it lifted its right head and sent it to the front of Sanling Mountain, looking down and staring.

Jueyang Spirit Venerable was silent, not paying attention to the subordinates fleeing in all directions, but staring at Xu Qing standing on Qing Qin's right head.

"I remember you, you little worm, you actually dare to come here again!" Jueyang spoke coldly.

Xu Qing was within the protective light emitted by Qing Qin, looking at the huge Jueyang Spirit Venerable, his expression calm, and he spoke slowly.

"If I am a worm, then what are you." Xu Qing didn't talk nonsense. The Ghost Emperor Palace in his body shook, and he even catalyzed the Demon Talisman. Immediately, the Ghost Emperor Mountain shadow behind him descended abruptly.

The massive body, the vast pressure, the moment it appeared, its eyes opened and closed, causing heaven and earth to change color, and the entire Sanling Town Dao Mountain trembled because of it.

But Jueyang Spirit Venerable's expression remained as usual.

"Just a feeling-sensing shadow, and it was integrated into the Heavenly Palace, manifested by borrowing the power of the Taixu Demon Talisman. Although this matter requires various things to be completed, it is not something only you can do. We Three Souls and Seven Souls are still here. What do you want to say? Say you are the reincarnation of the Ghost Emperor? Ghost Emperor inheritance?"

Jueyang Spirit Venerable looked at Xu Qing.

"Ridiculous!"

Xu Qing looked at Jueyang Spirit Venerable.

"If I advance to Nascent Soul with the Ghost Emperor Palace?"

"After Nascent Soul, the Ghost Emperor shadow can become my Dao Nascent Soul, and if I go a step further, I advance to the Spirit-Storing realm, using the Ghost Emperor as the foundation of a secret store, and fusing it with the Heavenly Dao."

"At that time, how I manifested it, does it still matter?" Xu Qing's voice echoed.

But Jueyang still closed his eyes, just speaking indifferently.

"Ghost Emperor as your foundation? The secret store of the Spirit-Storing realm must plunder the Heavenly Dao from small worlds and refine it inside before it can be done, and the Heavenly Dao is arrogant. Even if it is refined, it cannot be forced, and it is not one body with the Ghost Emperor, so how can we talk about fusion!"

"What if the Heavenly Dao is my life essence and obeys my orders?" Xu Qing waved his hand, the firmament changed color, the Cang Dragon manifested within, and while radiating the pressure of the Heavenly Dao, it also contained the connection of life essence, and even transmitted a roar like heaven's thunder, exploding in all directions.

Jueyang Spirit Venerable opened his eyes abruptly, moving for the first time.

The black mist on the highest mountain peak beside him also stopped rolling at this moment, and the panting sound from within disappeared instantly.

Xu Qing continued to speak.

"If, my cultivation can still advance, become Void-Returning, manifest the world with my Void-Returning power, and then transport the real Ghost Emperor Mountain into it to become the Ghost Realm, combined with the Heavenly Dao-fused Ghost Emperor shadow in the previous secret store, overlapping each other..."

"At that time, I say, I have obtained the Ghost Emperor inheritance, will you still feel that this matter is impossible?" Xu Qing

Jueyang Lingzun remained silent, ignoring his subordinates fleeing in all directions, and instead gazed at Xu Qing standing on the right head of Qing Meng.

"I remember you, you tiny little worm, you actually dare to come here again!" Jueyang spoke coldly.

Xu Qing, within the protective light emitted by Qing Qin, looked at the massive Jueyang Lingzun with a calm expression and slowly spoke.

"If I am a worm, then what are you?" Xu Qing didn't waste words. The Ghost Emperor Palace within his body vibrated, and he further catalyzed the Demon Talisman. Suddenly, the shadow of the Ghost Emperor Mountain behind him descended abruptly.

Its massive body and vast pressure caused the heavens and earth to change color the moment it appeared, and the entire Three Spirits Town Dao Mountain trembled because of it.

Yet, Jueyang Lingzun's expression remained as usual.

"It's just a realized projection, and you've integrated it into your Heavenly Palace, using the power of the Grand Void Demon Talisman to manifest it. Although this requires various conditions to complete, it is not something only you can do. Our three souls and seven spirits are still here. What do you want to say? That you are the Ghost Emperor reincarnated? The Ghost Emperor's successor?"

Jueyang Lingzun looked at Xu Qing.

"Ridiculous! The artifact spirit is ultimately not one of us. As a servant, its perception is somewhat one-sided and it is subservient to the human race. The information you had it pass on is of no use."

"This battle is between your human race and the Saint-Lan Tribe. We will not intervene. Allowing Youjing to be forced by you to participate is already our bottom line."

After speaking, Jueyang closed his eyes.

Xu Qing's expression was calm. He knew that coming here to trade this time would not be so easy. Given the other party's realm, it was

clear they knew his purpose for coming, which was normal, so he spoke calmly.

"What if I use the Ghost Emperor Palace to ascend to the Nascent Soul realm?"

"After the Nascent Soul, the Ghost Emperor's shadow can become my Dao Infant. And if I go a step further and ascend to the Spirit Repository realm, I can use the Ghost Emperor as the foundation of a secret repository and fuse it with the Heavenly Dao."

"At that time, does it still matter how I manifested it?" Xu Qing's voice echoed.

But Jueyang remained with his eyes closed, only speaking faintly.

"The Ghost Emperor becomes your foundation? A secret repository at the Spirit Repository realm requires plundering the Heavenly Dao from a small world and refining it within. But the Heavenly Dao is arrogant; even if refined, it cannot be forced, and it is not one with the Ghost Emperor, so how can you speak of fusion!"

"What if the Heavenly Dao is my life-bound entity and obeys my commands?" Xu Qing waved his hand, the sky changed color, and a Cang Dragon manifested within it. While emitting the pressure of the Heavenly Dao, it also contained the connection of a life-bound entity, and it let out roars like heavenly thunder, shattering the surroundings.

Jueyang Lingzun's eyes snapped open, and for the first time, he was moved.

The mountain where the Heavenly Soul resided beside him saw its black mist stop churning at this moment, and the panting sound within vanished instantly.

Xu Qing continued to speak.

"If I can continue to advance my cultivation, become a Return to Void, use my Return to Void power to manifest a world, and then move the real Ghost Emperor Mountain into it to become a Ghost Realm, combined with the Ghost Emperor shadow fused with the Heavenly Dao in my secret repository, and overlap them..."

"At that time, if I say I have obtained the Ghost Emperor's inheritance, will you still think this is impossible?" Xu Qing's voice was calm, echoing in all directions.

"The time is too long, and whether you can do it is also unknown!" Jueyang Lingzun was silent for a moment, then spoke in a low voice, his gaze toward Xu Qing becoming a bit more heavy.

Xu Qing shook his head.

"I don't know why you don't do this. Perhaps it is because of your status that makes you unable to do so, or perhaps it is the mutual checks and balances that prevent you from doing it."

"This is not important. As for the time being too long, that is also not important. What is important is that I have provided a possibility!"

"A possibility that I can complete once I grow up."

"And as long as I complete the inheritance, even if I cannot fully control the Ghost Emperor Mountain, I can still allow you to break free from the shackles of the Ghost Emperor Mountain, retain your own immortal characteristics, and achieve true independence and freedom."

"This is a trade. To you, it is just a casual move. The artifact spirit must know this as well."

Xu Qing spoke earnestly. This was his analysis of the desires of the Ghost Emperor's three souls and seven spirits, based on his past understanding and information from the Sword-Holding Palace.

They craved independence and freedom, and they did not want to lose their immortal status.

Jueyang was silent. He had to admit that the hypothesis provided by this Sword-Holder was logical and feasible. It was indeed, as the other party said, just a casual move. Success would naturally be best, and if it failed, they would lose nothing.

So he looked at the black mist where the Heavenly Soul resided.

"Since it's a casual move, it's not worth fighting the Saint-Lan Tribe for it." A sharp voice suddenly came from within the black mist, sounding like bones grinding together, extremely grating.

Xu Qing felt a sense of relief in his heart. The trade had reached this point, and the value of his goods had already been revealed.

Actually, he knew this was just telling a story. Everyone wasn't stupid, but as long as his story was good enough, feasible, and logical, he could attract investment. Of course, the premise was whether it was worth it and how much to invest.

"Then the next step is to look at the price. I don't need you to go to the front-line battlefield to fight the Saint-Lan Tribe; I only need you to make one move at the Corpse Prohibition!"

"Exchange this casual move for one strike, to add a line and a possibility for obtaining freedom in the future." Xu Qing said softly.

This time, he didn't threaten. He was realistic, and everything he said was true and practical. Of course, the prerequisite was that he could grow and advance step by step, so it was ultimately still a story.

But this story was complete, and the price to pay was relatively small.

For foolish people, they might be swayed by emotions and thus make other judgments. But clearly, these two souls were not, so unless someone offered better value, the possibility of them not agreeing

was very small.

The Three Spirits Town Dao Mountain fell into silence.
