Chapter 1998

Di Jiang frowned; they had come to this side of Penglai Immortal Island and never expected to encounter such a strong opponent so quickly.

It would be difficult to deal with him even using the twelve Ancestral Wushu's abilities.

Fortunately, Luo Fu is here!

But Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin both felt they shouldn't rely so heavily on Luo Fu; there were many things the twelve Ancestral Wushu must do to the best of their ability.

Luo Fu scanned the surroundings and understood that the three-eyed eagle was guarding the Qiankun Cauldron.

"Are you guarding the Qiankun Cauldron?"

The three-eyed eagle glanced at Luo Fu and nodded; he could not speak, but he could tell this group bore him no ill will.

No one had set foot on Penglai Immortal Island for thousands of years; now that so many had arrived, the three-eyed eagle naturally had to be cautious.

He had guarded the Qiankun Cauldron for a long time and knew someone must be coveting it.

Di Jiang frowned and said, "Saint Luo Fu, could this be the Qiankun Cauldron of the Qiankun Ancestor?"

"Legend says the Qiankun Ancestor's Qiankun Cauldron was lost in ancient times; yet we found it the moment we entered Penglai Immortal Island?"

Di Jiang's words plunged everyone into thought.

Was it because of Luo Fu that their luck improved, or because no one had ever come to Penglai Immortal Island, so no one knew the Qiankun Cauldron was here?

Both possibilities exist!

But Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming leaned more toward the latter, for Luo Fu was truly powerful, and they tended to attribute his success to fortune.

Concentrating all the spiritual energy of the Honghuang heavens and earth within himself, Luo Fu was fortune itself!

After the Qiankun Ancestor's death, the Qiankun Cauldron vanished; now that they had found it, the three-eyed eagle would never let them take it away.

If the Qiankun Cauldron could be enshrined within the Pangu Grand Hall, the Wu Clan would gain another advantage.

That advantage, when added up, was considerable.

Even the yao, even with Donghuang Taiyi's Chaos Bell, might not surpass the Qiankun Cauldron's power.

The Qiankun Cauldron is an ancient divine artifact!

Luo Fu knew Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin wanted to take the Qiankun Cauldron back, but doing so would inevitably provoke widespread discontent.

The three-eyed eagle would be the first to never let them go!

Sister Houtu said, "Saint Luo Fu, could we exchange something with the three-eyed eagle?"

Zhu Jiuyin: …

Di Jiang: …

All twelve Ancestral Wushu present thought Sister Houtu was exceedingly naive and remarkably gifted, yet none expected her to be this naive.

Moreover, the three-eyed eagle had guarded the Qiankun Cauldron for hundreds or even thousands of years; how could he possibly trade it away for something? Pure fantasy.

Sister Xuanming, however, thought it possible.

In fact, if her Xuanming Bone Arrow already possessed such power, she might consider trading it—she also wished to see the inner power of the Qiankun Cauldron.

When Sister Houtu saw everyone staring at her with expressions of utter disbelief, she realized she had spoken foolishly.

She was just about to apologize when she heard Luo Fu beside her speak in a calm, agreeing tone.

"I agree with Sister Houtu—if the three-eyed eagle is willing to trade, I have a magic treasure I could offer him; let us see if he agrees."
