Chapter 1343: What are you looking at me for?

Seeing Qiu Baiyi's half-smile, Li Xue knew he was in trouble.

This Viper is practically mindless, obsessing over Ye Zhangqing to the point of madness.

As expected, in the next second, the Viper gave it little thought and immediately spoke.

"Qiu Baiyi, name your price—what will it take for you to release the person?"

Hearing that, Qiu Baiyi chuckled lightly.

"Wanting the person is fine; first condition: disband the Blood King Palace and kill all its Elders."

"Damn it," hearing that, Li Xue's teeth clenched, and he knew it would turn out this way.

He could never meet the woman's condition.

But before Li Xue could refuse, the Viper turned its head toward him, its eyes filled with madness.

Seeing the Viper's eyes, Li Xue couldn't hold back and roared.

"What the hell are you looking at me for?"

"This guy actually wants me to agree? You're crazy."

"Blood King Palace, you want me to personally destroy my own Sect? How much water have you swallowed to think like this?"

But Li Xue still underestimated the Viper's madness; after his angry roar, the Viper refused to give up.

"Li Xue bro, even if our Sect is gone, we can just flee far and wide; as long as we have Ye Zhangqing in hand, it doesn't matter where we go—why cling to a Sect, to this Heaven Martial Realm?"

"Listen, listen—this is hardly human speech."

"What, losing the Sect is no big deal? Listen to yourself—could anyone actually say something like that?"

"You're crazy."

"No hope, the Viper is beyond saving—can't be bothered with his nonsense—Li Xue turned to Qiu Baiyi and said coldly:"

"Qiu Baiyi, forget it—it's impossible."

Qiu Baiyi didn't care; she had anticipated this, and besides, how could she release the person? Ye Zhangqing must belong to her.

"Then there's nothing left to discuss."

"Wait a moment............"

At that moment, the Viper suddenly spoke; seeing this, Li Xue's face darkened to the extreme, yet the Viper's next words made him burst out cursing.

"I promise you, I'll make a move; once it's done, you'll return Ye Zhangqing to me."

"What the hell—you've got water in your brain? You actually believe this woman's words?"

Qiu Baiyi never even considered releasing the person; moreover, you've destroyed my Blood King Palace—how could we possibly escape? This woman will surely kill you.

Li Xue stared wide-eyed at the Viper.

After all these years of friendship, the Viper was driven mad by Ye Zhangqing; now Li Xue feels he himself is about to be driven crazy by this old friend.

"Did a dog eat your brain?"

Yet despite his own tirade, the Viper put on a serious face and said.

"I only want Ye Zhangqing."

"I'm fucking................"

"No hope, really no hope—this person is completely insane, insane to the extreme."

"Viper, either we team up to take down this woman, or I leave now—nothing else to discuss."

Having said that, Li Xue didn't wait for the Viper's reply and immediately attacked Qiu Baiyi.

Seeing that, the Viper hesitated a moment, then also gritted its teeth and charged at Qiu Baiyi.

Take down Qiu Baiyi, then exchange for Ye Zhangqing.

Facing the two's assault, Qiu Baiyi showed no panic; the space beside her was torn open, and an Emperor Sovereign Realm aura seeped out from the rift.

Immediately, a hunched old woman walked out of the rift.

"You old woman, you're here too?"

Seeing the old woman, Li Xue's face darkened as he said.

"If you're going to act against the lady in white, this old woman naturally won't stand idly by."

The old woman's name is Lingshe Popo, a close friend of Qiu Baiyi, just like the relationship between Li Xue and the Viper.

Although she is alone, merely a wandering cultivator, her strength is not to be underestimated.

As soon as Lingshe Popo appeared, she went straight into battle with Li Xue, while Qiu Baiyi dealt with the Viper.

Knowing the Viper is in the Heaven Martial Realm, Qiu Baiyi naturally couldn't be unprepared.

Last time, because things happened suddenly, there was no way to find the Old Man Ling of the Soaring Heaven Pavilion.

But asking Old Man Ling to act would come at too great a cost, so Qiu Baiyi naturally wouldn't agree.

So she had contacted Lingshe Popo in advance.

Another Emperor Sovereign Realm battle erupted, shattering the surrounding space, and the valley below was instantly flattened.

Even though they were tens of thousands of li away, numerous cultivators could feel the aftermath of the battle between four Emperor Sovereign Realm experts.

"Another Emperor Sovereign Realm battle has broken out?"

"Is it the Blood King Palace and Bai Song Gu again?"

"Probably; they just fought a few days ago, didn't they?"

In just a few short days, two Emperor Sovereign Realm–level battles erupted one after another, and many cultivators seemed to sense the coming storm.

The Heaven Martial Realm is likely to be unsettled again, and this time it's certainly not a minor conflict.

A full-scale clash between the Blood King Palace and Bai Song Gu—two colossal powers—is not far off.

Cultivators secretly began preparing for the impending war, knowing they could not remain uninvolved.

But most people don't realize that the one who caused all this is merely a cook with Great Saint Realm cultivation.

This time, the Viper did not use Mìfǎ, its combat power remained at its peak, and moreover, because it showed signs of demonic influence, fighting became even more frenzied than before.

The battle situation actually still slightly increased.

However, Qiu Baiyi also did not show weakness; the Viper could go mad because Ye Zhangqing fell into madness, and she, Qiu Baiyi, could also.

Moreover, she likewise could not give up Ye Zhangqing; this man will sooner or later be hers—want to run? No way.

So the two fought fiercely together; the Viper fought desperately, and Qiu Baiyi likewise fought desperately; for a time, the battle was evenly matched.

Meanwhile, Li Xue and Lingshe Popo's side appeared far more rational.

Although they also held back, they had not yet reached the point of fighting to the death.

Four Emperor Sovereign Realm fighters were evenly matched, and inside Bai Song Gu, Ye Zhangqing had already begun to think about where to obtain an Emperor Sovereign-tier Chuānyīn fú.

The best method is surely to contact the merchant association, but I cannot leave Bai Song Gu.

Moreover, there should also be an Emperor Sovereign-tier Chuānyīn fú inside Bai Song Gu, but trying to obtain it from Bai Song Gu is nearly impossible.

Qiu Baiyi had been completely obedient to me these past days, sending spirit fruits and medicinal pills, and constantly asking after my well-being with utmost gentleness.

But you want her to give you an Emperor Sovereign-tier Chuānyīn fú—how could that be possible? She's not a fool, letting you contact people to come rescue you?

After finishing dinner, sitting alone in the room, after pondering left and right, he whispered.

"We still need to think of a way to find the merchant association."

Just how to contact people from the merchant association is a problem, and moreover, those small merchant associations probably also lack Emperor Sovereign-tier Chuānyīn fú.

One must find a merchant association of some scale, whose influence spans several surrounding worlds, just like the Heavenly Union Merchant Association that previously betrayed me.

Ye Zhangqing thought about how to contact the merchant association; perhaps it was luck, but the next day he managed to encounter an opportunity.
