Chapter 1972: Steal Ten Golden Pearls!

Collecting these things isn't particularly useful, but the Yao Clan and the Wu Clan have always been mortal enemies—they merely seek to annoy each other.

Even now, Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun are thinking of ways to annoy the Wu Clan.

But with Luo Fu here, Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun must bow their heads.

"Now that we have the Fuxi Qin and the Shanhe Sheji Map, do you think we'll still lose?"

"Better to be cautious."

Whether Kunpeng will go over is beyond their current concern, but even if he truly intends to go, it will be different this time—they must be careful.

What does Kunpeng's attitude reveal about how much they still need to know?

Besides, everyone in the Yao Court knows Kunpeng also wants the Six Pure Bamboo Staves, and he and Hong Yun's side have learned the differences in the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

"It seems Kunpeng won't easily come over to apologize!"

"Whether or not he comes to apologize, as long as he agrees to us, we won't force him—he can decide for himself."

Not everything can be settled by mutual willingness; if we pressure them, they'll develop rifts within the Yao Clan and cease cooperation.

It seems Nanji Xianweng and Jin Ling Shengmu have indeed thought of a solution.

They originally knew Master Yuanshi's location, but Nanji Xianweng didn't go himself; the main focus must remain on Hong Yun Daochang.

"I wonder when Hong Yun Daochang will wake up? Once he does, we can slowly make our arrangements."

"It's difficult."

Jin Ling Shengmu holds ten Golden Pearls; these ten pearls are extraordinarily precious—they were formed during the primordial opening of the Honghuang, and many rare stones and gems have been compared to them.

The Yao Clan and others all hope Jin Ling Shengmu will give up her ten pearls.

"Master Yuanshi is right—no wonder the Yao Clan is so unpopular; they're just trying to seize and plunder!"

Jin Ling Shengmu truly finds the Yao Clan beneath contempt, especially Donghuang Taiyi—who was once the strongest warrior in the Honghuang—and yet they dare do this.

Even though Jin Ling Shengmu sensed something was off this time, since the Yao Clan has already acted this way, they can never speak these words again.

Nanji Xianweng said: "These ten pearls in your hand are extremely powerful—they were blessed by Taishang Laojun. Whoever possesses even one of these ten Golden Pearls can ascend one rank!"

"Do you know how rare Taishang Laojun's Golden Core truly is?"

Aside from Hongjun and the Dao, Taishang Laojun's Golden Core is the most classic and rarest of all.

Even the Phoenix Flowers from the Purple Cloud Palace, once matured enough, can be refined by Taishang Laojun into the finest medicinal ingredient.

Jin Ling Shengmu didn't know.

But she had occasionally heard of it, which is why she finds the Yao Clan even more shameless.

"Then why would the Yao Clan demand ten Golden Cores from me?"

"Because they're insatiable!"

The one demanding Golden Cores from Jin Ling Shengmu is not Donghuang Taiyi or Di Jun, but one of their subordinates—the Nine-Headed Bird, Guiche.

Guiche somehow learned that Jin Ling Shengmu possesses ten pearls.

He was stirred by the thought—if he could obtain Jin Ling Shengmu's ten Golden Pearls, he could ascend a rank, and his fire could rival that of the Fire God, Zhurong.

But Guiche never anticipated that the exposure of Kunpeng's affair would bring such deadly peril upon the Yao Clan.
