Chapter 130: Falling Out

130. Chapter 130: Falling Out

Whoosh!

As a beam of light enveloped Luo Yao and the other, instantly, the two vanished from their spot.

Not long after, the two appeared in Duanzui Cheng, a thousand li away.

Having experienced teleportation once before, Luo Yao felt no dizziness or discomfort this time, but the treacherous merchant was somewhat dizzy, clearly using a teleportation scroll for the first time.

Seeing Luo Yao's calm expression, he was somewhat surprised in his heart; he knew clearly that unless one used teleportation frequently, the first time would absolutely be uncomfortable. He was a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, with cultivation even higher than Luo Yao's, yet he still suffered discomfort from the teleportation.

Indeed, this girl is not simple.

Once again confirming that Luo Yao came from a great power, the treacherous merchant put aside his scheming thoughts and became even more determined to build a good relationship with Luo Yao.

"So this is Duanzui Cheng?"

Hearing this, the treacherous merchant widened his eyes. "Where is that person?"

The treacherous merchant turned and left without hesitation, clearly not wanting to get involved in this matter any further.

The treacherous merchant sneered; with Luo Yao's strength, he had no worry about being silenced, but thinking of the background behind Luo Yao, he spoke.

"Do you know something?"

"Wait."

"Going to make a move?" Luo Yao's face showed no ripple, seeming to care nothing, but in her heart she was on high alert. "You can try. As long as I meet with misfortune, the Image Recording Stone recording your help for me will spread throughout the entire Ancient Battlefield..."

He, a dignified Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, was actually threatened by a little girl. If this got out...

"I can keep this matter secret and pretend it never happened."

To make an enemy of the entire Ancient Battlefield's powers, even with a hundred lives, he would not be enough to die.

"Wait."

Luo Yao interrupted the treacherous merchant's words, hesitating, "Youming Fu, such a great power, might be divided into several factions. Are you sure the group from Youming Fu we are looking for is reliable?"

And the distance from Youming Fu to here, at the fastest, would take two double-hours.

Even if he tested and found those people from Youming Fu reliable, they still could not suppress the Yin Qi on the Princess's body; they would have to send the Princess to Youming Fu, or send someone over.

Seeing that Luo Yao seemed to have some backing and was not afraid at all, the treacherous merchant's face looked somewhat ugly.

"Do you think leaving now means everything is fine?"

"What did you say?"

Luo Yao sighed. "Earlier, I saw people from Youming Fu chasing their Princess."

Although Luo Yao's threat made him very annoyed, compared to the danger, the rewards after success were very tempting, and it seemed he had no other choice.

If he did not tell the treacherous merchant, the treacherous merchant might not help find that powerful Alchemist in Duanzui Cheng.

Speaking of which, could it be that Youming Fu has already split, meaning Youming Fujun no longer has the ability to control those below him?

All sorts of guesses floated in the treacherous merchant's mind, but one thing he knew clearly was that the current Youming Fu was a dragon's pool and tiger's den, not to be entered.

The treacherous merchant suddenly froze; this matter had nothing to do with him. The person was not in his hands, and no one knew he had cooperated with Luo Yao...

Seeing him accept, Luo Yao immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Now there is still one big problem."

"Let this matter end here; count me as having lost."

However, she was now somewhat conflicted in her heart, hesitating whether to tell the treacherous merchant about Xiao Wan's injury, after all, she preferred to find the Alchemist first.

But this would require the treacherous merchant's ability and connections.

"Think of how much Youming Fujun dotes on the Princess, think of the benefits of returning the Princess to them."

Luo Yao seemed to see through his thoughts, pouting. "Do you think no one knows? The people of Heifeng City know, and I have already left an Image Recording Stone, recording everything you said..."

"Or, you can try to see if you have the ability to make an enemy of the entire Ancient Battlefield's powers."

Luo Yao sneered. "To tell you the truth, that Princess of Youming Fu is in my hands, but the Yin Qi on her body is erupting; she will die at any moment. Once she dies, we will become criminals of Youming Fu, even facing the pursuit of the entire Ancient Battlefield."

Luo Yao hurriedly stopped him; although she knew that revealing this news would make the treacherous merchant leave given his personality, she did not expect him to be so decisive.

"We can only act separately."

The treacherous merchant was no fool; he immediately heard the implied meaning in Luo Yao's words, and his face looked somewhat ugly.

"I know." The treacherous merchant waved his hand. "I will try to confirm whether that group from Youming Fu is trustworthy."

"Little girl, I am convinced by you. Did you plan to drag me onto the bandit boat from the very beginning?"

"Let's go; there happens to be a group of people from Youming Fu in Duanzui Cheng recently."

Luo Yao looked at the tall black city wall not far away, grander even than Heifeng City, somewhat surprised; indeed, it lived up to a heritage of several thousand years.

Seeing Luo Yao stop him, the treacherous merchant's face looked somewhat ugly. "Do you want to silence me?"

This was not the answer Luo Yao wanted; without the treacherous merchant's connections, she could not contact Youming Fu, and Xiao Wan's injuries could not be delayed any longer.

"What?"

The treacherous merchant even jumped up from the ground, glaring at Luo Yao. "Why didn't you say so earlier!"

"Rest assured." Luo Yao naturally knew the principle of giving a stick and then a sweet date. "As long as we avoid those ill-intentioned people from Youming Fu and find those who are truly loyal, we will absolutely become honored guests of Youming Fu."

Moreover, Luo Yao was right; if the Princess of Youming Fu met with misfortune, they would face the strike of Youming Fu, and other powers, whether to give face to Youming Fu or for other reasons, would help Youming Fu deal with them.

By then, there would be no place for them to exist in the entire Ancient Battlefield.

Glaring at Luo Yao, the treacherous merchant helplessly complained.

Three double-hours; how is that enough time?

"You..."

"Wait!"

The treacherous merchant's face immediately changed drastically; if this were true, then he did not want to wade into this muddy water.

People from Youming Fu dare to act against their own Princess; are they not afraid of Youming Fujun and the Ghost Immortal?

Unless they have sufficient ability to counter them.

"What?"

If she involved powers like Heifeng City, wouldn't the treacherous merchant immediately turn against her, capture her, and hand her over to Heifeng City?

Not to mention reporting to the Nether Mansion and the other wasted time.

"Less than three hours, so we must find a reliable Alchemist to see if they can solve the Princess's Yin energy problem."

Facing Luo Yao's threat, the treacherous merchant instantly revealed killing intent; if he killed Luo Yao, would everything end? No one knew...

However, he quickly reacted, knowing Luo Yao wouldn't let him see the person, so he frowned and asked, "How much time is left?"

The treacherous merchant was truly shocked. "The person is in your hands?"

The Princess of the Nether Mansion, whom the entire Ancient Battlefield was searching for, was actually in the hands of a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator; if this got out, setting aside whether anyone would believe it, even if they did, all powers would be shocked and go mad.

Luo Yao shook her head. "That's not the issue; it's the Princess's problem. Didn't I say before that the Princess's Yin energy is exploding, and she is in mortal danger at any moment?"

Luo Yao's expression turned serious. "I will go find that Alchemist in the city; you try to figure out how to contact reliable people from the Nether Mansion."

The treacherous merchant gritted his teeth. "We have no choice but to do this."
