Chapter 86: The World Inside the Seal

"Why would you have the idea of 'once and for all'?" Xiao Han was very surprised after hearing the plan of Thunder Spirit.

Logically speaking, even if all the creatures in this seal died, the latter would still need to contribute power to other seals, so where did the saying "once and for all" come from?

Could it be... An excited thought emerged in Xiao Han's mind.

"That's right, this is the final seal." Seeing Xiao Han's excited appearance, Thunder Spirit guessed what he was thinking.

"Although I don't know what happened to that broken seal, after it was broken there, this place is also the only seal left in this world."

"After solving this trouble, our mission will end here!" Although the tone was still as cold as ever, Xiao Han keenly sensed the excitement hidden deep within it.

Thinking about it, it makes sense; tens of thousands of years of steadfast guarding, being on high alert every moment, finally, the dawn is about to be seen.

A new life is right before one's eyes; if one could still remain indifferent to this, then that could only be a stone without emotions.

"Then what are your plans for afterwards?" Xiao Han's eyes rolled, a thought surged into his heart, and he immediately asked.

"Plans?" Thunder Spirit was a bit distracted; he hadn't thought about this, as he had previously only been focused on leaving this place and seeing the scenery outside.

After all, he had been trapped in this lifeless ruin for tens of thousands of years, was familiar with and even disgusted by every blade of grass and tree here, and his heart for pursuing freedom had long been restless.

However, he had neglected that he was now a lone individual, and even his original kind had perished and were no more, so his mood suddenly dropped.

But then he thought again, with his own strength, the world is so vast, how could there not be a place for him to stay? Joining any faction as an Elder would mean being treated like an ancestor!

But...

"Do you have any suggestions?" Thunder Spirit asked indifferently. Although they hadn't spent much time together, he knew very well that this guy was definitely a shrewd person; since he brought up this question, he must have a backup plan waiting for him.

"This brother shouldn't have a place to stay, right?" Xiao Han said with a chuckle; that gentle smiling face seemed to be the first time Thunder Spirit had seen it.

"No, I do; the world is vast, where can I not go?" Conversing with such a person, one must not let the other party lead one by the nose, so Thunder Spirit decisively refuted the other party.

You're being boring now, aren't you? How is this supposed to let me swindle... ahem, carry out my work!

Although he was complaining incessantly in his heart, Xiao Han's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to persuade: "Once the identity of a Heaven and Earth Exotic Item like you is leaked, the level of danger is very high."

Xiao Han was indeed telling the truth; there were completely precedents to follow, for example, a certain Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame whose name cannot be spoken.

Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame: I am third on the Exotic Fire Ranking, call me if you have business!

"This..." Thunder Spirit hesitated; back then, he could be found here in these ruins by someone, so if he went out and his identity was leaked...

He dared not think further; this was indeed very troublesome! His strength and value were absolutely no less than some Exotic Fires; he was a top-tier heaven-sent treasure walking on the continent.

Once truly exposed, that would mean...

Thunder Spirit looked at Xiao Han involuntarily; was he really being manipulated after all?

He knew very well that the only person who knew his identity as an exotic item and yet had no interest in him was probably this guy who already possessed the Extreme Cold Crystal.

"Help me solve the trouble in the seal, and I will go to your faction to serve as an Elder. How about it?"

Thunder Spirit also knew that this guy in front of him, as a faction leader, would not refuse such a Fighting Saint powerhouse, especially in this era where it is said that Fighting Saint powerhouses are already extremely rare.

"Deal!" Xiao Han's heart was stirred; he didn't expect that his unintentional act back then could actually recruit another Dou Sheng powerhouse for his own faction. This deal is worth it!

As for not being able to complete it?

Heh, if it were only Xiao Han, it would indeed be difficult to accomplish, but isn't there a helper here?

Although the power of Heavenly Ice cannot exist in one body, it can be merged, and Xiao Han, who can borrow the power of Thunder Spirit, can go head-to-head with a slightly weaker Eight-Star Fighting Saint even without using secret techniques.

Having strength is just that willful! As for that Nine-Star Dou Sheng... after he uses a little trick, he will take him down in minutes.

"When are we setting off..."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow; let me first introduce the situation inside to you..."

What met the eyes was land permeated with black Qi, and the black fog covering the sky almost obscured the blood moon above the void.

It was a scene of dead silence, with white bones exposed in the wilderness; one could imagine that no living creature had survived in this place for a long time.

However, today, this quiet world seemed to have welcomed one... oh, it should be two uninvited guests.

Two humanoid creatures appeared here silently; one of them looked around, feeling the corrosive and violent aura in the surroundings, and was clearly somewhat disgusted.

He clicked his tongue and sighed quite a bit: "You really have endured humiliation for a long time!"

The one who spoke was Xiao Han; in his perception, this space was filled with a nauseating aura, and the dense Evil Qi gave one the feeling of sinking into a quagmire.

That feeling was just like falling into a cesspit completely naked; whoever tries it knows!

This was just his own feeling; for a pure Heaven and Earth Exotic Item like Heavenly Ice, the experience would be even more profound. Even so, Thunder Spirit actually had the courage to come here so many times...

Tsk tsk, Xiao Han could only say that the pursuit of freedom had indeed surpassed his inner resistance to filth.

"Alright, stop with the sarcastic remarks." Thunder Spirit said unpleasantly; was this a place he wanted to come to?

If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger's cub?

If he had a choice, wouldn't it be nice to comfortably guard the seal? Why would he insist on drilling into a garbage heap?

"Where shall we start?" Xiao Han said impatiently; finish the work early, get off work early, Yi Huang was still waiting for him to return at Langya Pavilion.

If he went missing for another few years this time, he probably wouldn't even be able to enter his own door.

"What's the rush?" Thunder Spirit glanced at Xiao Han with disdain, looking as if he was ashamed to be associated with him.

"Yingmo Cheng!"

Leaving behind that calm voice, Thunder Spirit's figure took the lead and flew towards the distance; every time he appeared, he was over a thousand feet away.

"Sigh, this guy..." Xiao Han looked at the other party's almost extreme speed and couldn't stop shaking his head; he was saying one thing but doing another! He was even more anxious than him.

Immediately sighing, he also followed closely; as an outsider, he should just honestly follow that local snake!

In the dim great hall, a skeleton-like old man was bowing his head and reporting something to a man with a gentle face...

It was none other than Guyou Shengzhe and Hun Miesheng.

"Hall Master, will Clan Leader like our group of 'guests'?" Guyou Shengzhe asked cautiously, with a little bit of anticipation in his voice.

Ever since Guyou Shengzhe broke through to the Saint realm, he had failed two consecutive missions, making the clan very dissatisfied with him; this time was his chance to atone for his crimes!

"Rest assured, that is a grand gift!" Hun Miesheng's smile was somewhat sinister; with their help, the clan's grand plan would be even more certain of success.

Xiao Han was naturally unaware of the conspiracy between the two; one could imagine what kind of shock it would bring to the entire continent when those "surprises" were revealed to the world.
