Chapter 1087: Precious Mirror, Ancient Xuan Queen (First update, requesting all support)

The envoy of the Xuan Emperor did not have a pleasant expression the moment she saw the "Great King of Nujiang," and having no intention of staying here any longer, she directly tossed a box over.

"Here, this is a special reward bestowed upon you by His Majesty the Xuan Emperor. I hope you do not fail the Emperor's good intentions; otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself."

The "Great King of Nujiang" caught the box and examined it carefully. Unlike the Jade Box given to Li Zhangsheng as compensation last time, the box the Xuan Emperor gave this time had no Restriction and could be opened at will.

He opened the box on the spot, and a water-blue precious light bloomed instantly.

Inside the box were two fist-sized blue crystals, flickering with a misty water-blue radiance; however, if one observed closely, one would find that both crystals contained a trace of impurity and were not pure.

Secondary Water Profound Meaning Origin Crystals!

With just a single glance, the "Great King of Nujiang" recognized them, and his brows could not help but furrow.

Even if they were two secondary Water Profound Meaning Origin Crystals, their value was still inferior to a single pure Water Profound Meaning Origin Crystal; the two were clearly a grade apart in value.

The Xuan Emperor's envoy turned around, wanting to leave, yet the moment she turned, her vision suddenly blurred, and the "Great King of Nujiang" blocked her path.

The "Great King of Nujiang" glared with his massive Longyan and asked aggressively: "Envoy of the Xuan Emperor, is this truly all the compensation His Majesty the Xuan Emperor has to offer?"

While speaking, Li Zhangsheng stared fixedly at the Xuan Emperor's envoy.

The Xuan Emperor's envoy's eyes flickered subconsciously, but she still puffed out her chest and asked back, biting the bullet: "Could it be that two secondary Water Profound Meaning Origin Crystals are not enough to satisfy your appetite?"

Li Zhangsheng was incredibly sharp; although the Xuan Emperor's envoy only showed a flaw for a split second, it was easily captured by him. How could he not realize that the Xuan Emperor's envoy was most likely hiding something?

"This King cannot be bothered to negotiate with you; this King will simply take it himself."

After finishing his sentence, the "Great King of Nujiang" instantly grabbed the Xuan Emperor's envoy's wrist with his right hand.

"You dare!"

The Xuan Emperor's envoy's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly struggled, but the disparity in strength between the two was immense. How could she break free? She was forcibly relieved of her Space Ring by the "Great King of Nujiang."

After the "Great King of Nujiang" let go, the Xuan Emperor's envoy stomped her foot in great annoyance and said hatefully: "What if there isn't any?"

The "Great King of Nujiang" did not answer. After checking the Space Ring, he found that there was not a single treasure inside that reached the Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade.

Judging from the situation, either the Xuan Emperor's envoy was very poor, or she had hidden them. Li Zhangsheng leaned more towards the latter; after all, she was the envoy of the Xuan Emperor, so no matter how poor she was, she wouldn't be poor to this extent.

"There isn't any in the Space Ring, but you have them on your person!"

Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power had been in a state of projection, so he naturally 'saw' two resplendent, colorful points of light at the Xuan Emperor's envoy's noticeably bulging chest.

"You certainly know how to hide things, actually hiding them in such a place!"

Under the Xuan Emperor's terrified gaze, her lapels opened automatically, revealing a flash of fair skin, while two objects emerged from beneath her bra and landed in Li Zhangsheng's hand.

The Xuan Emperor's envoy's eyes widened, and she pointed tremblingly at the "Great King of Nujiang," shouting: "Mental Power! You are not the Great King of Nujiang!"

"You guessed right, but unfortunately, there is no prize!"

Li Zhangsheng did not hide it; the dragon head instantly transformed back into its original appearance. For a person about to die, there was naturally no need for concealment.

"You... you... you are Li Zhangsheng!"

Seeing Li Zhangsheng's handsome and familiar face, the Xuan Emperor's envoy's face instantly drained of color, her whole body trembled, and her beautiful eyes were filled with despair.

How could the Xuan Emperor's envoy not recognize Li Zhangsheng? The key was that she had come specifically to deal with Li Zhangsheng this time.

It's over!

At this moment, this was the only thought remaining in the Xuan Emperor's envoy's mind.

Taking advantage of the Xuan Emperor's envoy's distraction, Li Zhangsheng extended his right hand and clamped it onto her head. His eyes were dreamlike, flickering with an inexplicable luster as he locked gazes with her.

The Xuan Emperor's envoy's eyes began to unfocus, appearing lost and dejected.

However, the Xuan Emperor's envoy was a Pseudo-King after all; years of tempering her Mental Power allowed her to react quickly. Upon discovering Li Zhangsheng's intent, she resolutely detonated her own Consciousness Sea.

Ruthless!

Li Zhangsheng let out a muffled groan, having suffered a certain degree of Mental Shock. He had to release his right hand, watching as the Xuan Emperor's envoy, bleeding from her seven orifices, glared at him with hatred before collapsing limply to the ground, losing her life in the blink of an eye.

This was not the first time he had been ruthless to a beauty, but it was the first time he had encountered such a resolute approach from an opponent.

Although the two were enemies, Li Zhangsheng could not help but admire her a little, yet he also felt a bit of pity.

Originally, Li Zhangsheng had wanted to take the opportunity to pry into information regarding the Xuan Emperor and her subordinates. As it turned out, the Xuan Emperor's envoy was so unyielding that she would rather detonate her Consciousness Sea than let Li Zhangsheng succeed, leaving him with very little harvest.

Li Zhangsheng sighed; originally, he had wanted to keep the Xuan Emperor's envoy for a while after searching her soul, as that would best serve his interests, but plans could not keep up with changes.

Admiration was admiration, but Li Zhangsheng believed one should not be soft-hearted toward enemies, otherwise, it would be cruel to oneself.

"The Xuan Emperor has likely already found out!"

Li Zhangsheng was very certain of this point. He had collected the Soul Breath of many subordinates and sealed them in Yinhun Wood tablets; if a subordinate died, the corresponding tablet would instantly shatter.

It was not just Li Zhangsheng; any faction with even a modest scale basically had similar methods.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng cremated the Xuan Emperor's envoy's corpse, turning it into fly ash that fell into the surging Wangjiang, flowing with the river water toward the sea.

It was not that Li Zhangsheng did not want to use burial; it was mainly to prevent the Xuan Emperor from using some special means to manifest the scene of the envoy's death after obtaining the corpse. After all, Li Zhangsheng had clearly and accurately locked onto the place where the envoy had hidden the treasures.

Just as Li Zhangsheng was preparing to return to Wangjiang to deal with the Demon Saint-level dragon, suddenly, a mirror appeared abruptly in the firmament.

Li Zhangsheng looked at the mirror and had a feeling of being spied upon. He immediately recalled that the Xuan Emperor possessed a precious mirror capable of surveying the world, rumored to be a treasure left behind by the Ancient Xuan Queen.

The terminology for Ninth-Rank Demon Tamers in the ancient era was somewhat different from today. In the ancient era, there was no title of Emperor; regardless of whether they had an Emperor-level Demon Pet or not, they were collectively called Emperors. If a woman became a Ninth-Rank Demon Tamer, she would be addressed as Queen.

Judging from the Xuan Emperor's title and this precious mirror, she likely obtained the inheritance of the Ancient Xuan Queen in her early years, which was why she had reached her current achievements so smoothly; it was just unknown whether she had surpassed her predecessor.
