Chapter 390: Letting the Tiger Return to the Mountain
It must be said, Xiao Han was indeed tempted. He understood that what White Dragon Supreme was referring to must be the Plane Spirit of their plane. The rarity of this thing goes without saying; it is not something every lower plane can possess.
"I hope Your Excellency can save our continent."
Sure enough, White Dragon Supreme still made the request that Xiao Han had guessed.
In Xiao Han's view, perhaps only White Dragon Supreme was the only one in their group who still held onto his original intention.
But Xiao Han shook his head and refused, "White Dragon Supreme, aren't you being a bit too naive?"
"You also know the power of the Outer Realm Evil Clan. You expect me to take such a risk for the mere wealth of the Dragon Demon Palace and a vague, illusory opportunity?"
"Isn't that thinking a bit too highly of yourself?" By the end of his words, Xiao Han's tone already carried a hint of killing intent.
White Dragon Supreme's expression darkened. Indeed, as a Spirit Array Grandmaster, the other party naturally had a bright future; why would he agree to such a request? Wasn't this just asking for trouble?
As for the so-called wealth of the Dragon Demon Palace, White Dragon Supreme did not believe that someone with the status of a Spirit Array Grandmaster would give their all for it.
"Since that is the case..." White Dragon Supreme closed his eyes slightly, then suddenly opened them. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and his figure vanished instantly.
"Then let us have a go!"
"White Dragon Blade!"
A dazzling white blade flashed into Xiao Han's eyes, the sharpness it emitted tearing even the space itself.
"Ice Lock!"
Xiao Han immediately clenched his palm, and dozens of ice chains shot out from every corner in an instant, binding White Dragon Supreme tightly. In the latter's eyes, there still remained an unconcealable astonishment.
"What other means do you have now? You can try them out." Xiao Han said with a chuckle to White Dragon Supreme, who was lying at his feet bound like a rice dumpling.
"Heh!" White Dragon Supreme smiled helplessly. The huge gap in strength between the two sides left him unable to see any hope of survival.
"Your Excellency, do it."
Then, he closed his eyes as if waiting for death.
However...
To White Dragon Supreme's surprise, after a long time, he still had not felt a blade fall upon his neck. He opened his eyes in confusion, only to see a mocking smile.
"Swish!"
The next moment, White Dragon Supreme sensed that the ice chains on his body had vanished without a trace. Full of confusion, he asked,
"What is Your Excellency's intention? Letting me go?"
"Don't you have a deep blood feud with the Outer Realm Evil Clan?"
Xiao Han said nonchalantly with a smile:
"Coincidentally, I also have some thoughts regarding them."
"Since there is a deep hatred, every debt has its debtor; what is the point of infighting among our own people in the Da Qian World?"
"Have you heard of the Da Qian Palace?"
White Dragon Supreme nodded slightly. The Da Qian Palace was the main force fighting against the Outer Realm Evil Clan, and almost all the famous and powerful figures in the Da Qian World were registered there. White Dragon Supreme naturally had some understanding of the existence of the Da Qian Palace.
"Isn't it better to join the Da Qian Palace and fight against the Outer Realm Evil Clan? You can take revenge and improve your strength at the same time; why waste your time here?"
"I will spare you once today."
"Many thanks, Your Excellency." White Dragon Supreme said with gratitude, having escaped death.
"No need to thank me!" Xiao Han smiled slightly and then reached out his hand.
White Dragon Supreme looked over in confusion. "Hurry up, the wealth of the Dragon Demon Palace to buy your life!"
"Do you really think I'm a saint?"
Xiao Han rolled his eyes and curled his lips.
White Dragon Supreme could only accept the fact of losing wealth to avoid disaster, and he decisively took out a white bead and handed it to Xiao Han.
"The place where all the wealth of the Dragon Demon Palace is stored is in this spirit bead."
Xiao Han accepted it with a blank expression.
"Go and improve your strength. Your own hatred must be relied upon by yourself; how can it be left to the hands of others!" Xiao Han patted White Dragon Supreme on the shoulder and said earnestly.
Then, under the gaze of White Dragon Supreme, he disappeared into the horizon. In the end, Xiao Han still chose not to trade; let someone else handle the Blood Evil Clan!
"The Da Qian Palace?" White Dragon Supreme murmured. Thinking of Xiao Han's suggestion, he immediately shook his head and mocked himself: "Why couldn't I figure that out?"
The other party was right; how could hatred be left to others?
White Dragon Supreme realized that since coming to the Da Qian World, although they had always held onto the dream of improving their strength to return home, they had unknowingly gone down the wrong path.
They had been focusing on building their own power, and for this, they had even committed many killings. Although the results were significant, they had grown from a mere few people to the Dragon Demon Palace that shook the Beicang Continent.
But in this process, they had neglected the growth of their individual strength. They should have clearly understood that strength and cultivation are always the top priority.
Perhaps after coming to the Da Qian World, they had realized and accepted their own mediocrity, understood the strength of the enemy, and from the bottom of their hearts, did not want to recall those hellish moments or face their own nightmares.
Clenching his fists, White Dragon Supreme seemed to have found his future path. Even if he could not take revenge, he would make the enemy pay a price. If his own aptitude was insufficient, then he would take in a few gifted Disciples, pass on his mantle, and let it be inherited generation after generation. What if, by some stroke of luck, one of his Disciples made something of themselves?
Having found a direction, White Dragon Supreme turned into a dragon shadow and flashed away.
At this time, Xiao Han had already returned to the battlefield of the Dragon Demon Palace headquarters, and the people from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy were cleaning up the battlefield.
"Resolved?" This was the first sentence exchanged between him and Beiming Longkun.
The latter nodded with a smile, but Xiao Han shook his head and said, "No, that guy bought his own life!"
As he spoke, he threw out the white bead that White Dragon Supreme had given him. "This records the location of the Dragon Demon Palace's treasure; take it as my greeting gift."
"After all, I will need the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy to look after me in the coming years."
Hearing Xiao Han mention the Dragon Demon Palace's treasure, Taicang and the others subconsciously gathered around. They had an intuitive feeling about Xiao Han's nonchalance and generosity; this was a powerful force with a scale no less than the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy!
One could tell with their toes just how extravagant a gift this was.
Originally, Beiming Longkun and the others were prepared to give up on this considerable wealth; they did not expect Xiao Han to give them such a big surprise.
As for the small matter of Xiao Han releasing White Dragon Supreme, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy did not care at all. A person who abandoned their own force in a time of crisis was not worth mentioning.
The former had not yet had the chance to stain his hands with the blood of Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy Disciples, so there was no deep hatred, and he was not on the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy's must-kill list.
Using the life of such a petty person to exchange for vast wealth and a foundation of power was still quite a good deal.
However, although Xiao Han said this was a greeting gift for the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, the latter was not truly so naive as to swallow all the benefits in one gulp.
One month later, Xiao Han received half of the Dragon Demon Palace's treasure; some of the strange and peculiar items did indeed open Xiao Han's eyes, but that was all—the quality was not considered high, and at the very least, there was not much he could use.
Perhaps the greatest harvest was the Great Sumeru Magic Pillar with its monstrous baleful aura that Xiao Han had moved back from the Dragon Demon Palace headquarters; although the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy also coveted this thing, he was the greatest contributor to breaking the Dragon Demon Palace headquarters this time, so others had no reason to say anything.
Yet, it was worthy of the Great Sumeru Magic Pillar's reputation as an ancient fierce weapon; at the very least, the current Xiao Han could only use it to a certain extent, and unleashing it fully would perhaps have to wait until his strength had recovered significantly.
With the Dragon Demon Palace headquarters broken, the Black Dragon Supreme and a group of other Dragon Demon Palace powerhouses fallen, and the White Dragon Supreme having defected, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy had undoubtedly achieved victory in this war, truly becoming the uncrowned king of the Beicang Continent.
For a time, it did stir up a small splash in the Da Qian World, and the number of students signing up for the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy even increased by quite a bit, but these things no longer had anything to do with Xiao Han.
