Chapter 2552: Dragon and Phoenix Fight for Favor (2)
Editor:Â Nyoi-Bo Studio
Zhu Yike grunted, and his eyelids twitched. This sinister Li Fugui actually hid a thin needle in his palm. Dog thief!
âHahaha, no fight, no friendship.â
âHehehe, if thereâs no argument, we canât get close.â
âLord Shou, we have a good relationship⊠Oh!â
âCough! Yes, yes, weâre on the best terms in the world!â
Jin Ren fell silent. After a long while, he spoke faintly. âSince you two are so close, then hug each other and do not let each other go.â
In the room, the two bodies were tightly entwined, neither of them willing to release the force first. There was only a pair of red briefs on the ground.
âWhere was I?â
Jin Renâs attention had almost been completely diverted. After a long while, he recalled what the main matter was and said.
âThe situation has changed!â
âNow that Zhu Yike has the Apricot Realm jade talisman, he has a way out. We can fish in the opposite direction next.â
âZhu Yike, bring Aunt Xiang to Changde Town on Qingyuan Mountain. Find a place called Caoâs Blacksmith Shop. Thereâs a âpeerless geniusâ that Bazhunâan left for me. Bring The Four Pillars of Destiny Token with you.â
âThe Four Pillars of Destiny Token?â Zhu Yike muttered in Li Fuguiâs ear.
âItâs in the second spatial ring I gave you.â Li Fugui gritted his teeth. He even wanted to bite off this guyâs earlobe.
âOh, thatâs good.â Zhu Yike immediately nodded. It was fine as long as he didnât need to release the force first.
Jin Ren continued. âIn short, the situation over there is still unclear and we will have to adapt accordingly. Weâre not sure if the favor from Bazhunâan would be useful or not. However, if something should happen, you can escape into the Apricot Realm immediately.â
âAlright, Lord Shou.â Zhu Yike finally had something to fall back on.
Lord Shou was still strong. The situation was much clearer now, and they could see a chance of survival.
He thought of something and asked. âAunt Xiang is under the weapon prohibition order. She said that only Kui Leihan can break it. If he canât, can we bring her into the Apricot Realm?
âNo, we canât!â Li Fugui refused flatly.
âLi Fugui is right.â Jin Ren agreed. âIf anything happens, abandon Aunt Xiang. She wonât die no matter what. At most, sheâll be trapped and our operation will fail. Weâll be back to square one, thatâs all.â
âWhat if you catch a big fish, but the fish is too heavy?â Zhu Yike thought of how terrifying Hallmaster Dao was.
Who could eat this fish?
If only Lord Shou was hereâŠ
âThe Ten High Nobles, I want to use the Ten High Nobles to fight!â
It was obvious that Jin Ren had already thought of this. âIâll switch to you later. Whether this fish can be eaten or not depends on whether Bazhunâanâs prestige is good enough.â
Zhu Yikeâs eyes lit up.
Li Fugui was stunned. He felt like he had been stabbed in the back by Lord Shou. His tears started to flow. âLord ShouâŠâ
âYou are still in the dark and can be of various uses. Zhu Yike has already floated on the surface of the water. There is only one way.â Jin Ren could not be bothered about these two peopleâs rivalry. It was good to be able to explain.
Li Fugui was still in tears. âLord Shou, you would be in dangerâŠâ
âThe worst case scenario would be to lose oneâs spiritual senses. Hurry up and get going!â
Li Fugui felt helpless. He could only release Zhu Yike and pull out the silver needle. Then, he began to transfer his spiritual senses to Zhu Yike using the method he had learned from Lord Shou.
âHeheheâŠâ Zhu Yike raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Li Fugui couldnât be bothered to argue with this guy. âYouâd better not die too early. This is a battle with the Ten High Nobles.â
âDonât worry.â Zhu Yikeâs words were unclear. âMy life is harder than Liâs.â
âAunt Xiang.â
Dongdong walked into the animal pelt shop and looked around. She didnât see anyone. âWhere did that Li guy go?â
âHe went to meet someone.â
âAunt Xiang, do you think we can really see Lord Shou here? Heâll be severely injured if he doesnât die from the battle with the Holy Emperor!â Dongdong also picked up the animal pelt.
âYou and I canât understand someone like Xu Xiaoshou.â Aunt Xiang shook her head and sighed.
âHuâŠâ There was a hesitant look in Dongdongâs eyes.
âWhy are you sighing? Aunt Xiang looked over.
âAunt Xiang, why arenât you worried at all?â When Dongdong heard this, she looked worried and replied.
âDongdong thinks that that Li guy really doesnât trust us!â
âIf he still does not give the antidote to the poisonous pill after today, it is likely that I would not be able to wait for the antidoteâŠâ
After a pause, Dongdongâs tone was extremely bitter. âIf Dongdong dies, there will be no one around Aunt Xiang who can protect her well. That Li guy doesnât look like a good personâŠâ
After Aunt Xiang recovered from her shock, a smile appeared on her lips. âYou want me to help you get the antidote?â
Dongdong pursed her lips and finally nodded decisively. âWithout any spiritual source, itâs difficult to move an inch. Dongdong evenâŠâ
Ta, ta, ta.
The sound of light footsteps came from behind.
Ah Yao whose face was covered in dirt, carried a small white animal tusk and ran over quickly. She said happily.
âAunt Xiang, they have these silver jade white elephant ivory here. Ah Yao can use it to make the shaft⊠LookâŠâ
Her voice gradually faded away, as if she had just noticed that there was something wrong with Sister Dongdong and Aunt Xiangâs expressions. She immediately drew back and said.
âWhat, whatâs wrong?â
âNothing. Itâs fine.â Aunt Xiang smiled and patted her head. âIf you like it, then go ahead and buy it.â
âI didnât bring any moneyâŠâ Ah Yao looked embarrassed and lowered her head.
âNo worries, Brother Li has it.â
As soon as she finished speaking, the old shopkeeper and Brother Li walked out from the back door. The latter laughed loudly,
âBuy!â
âHow much is this small piece of ivory worth? Iâll buy the entire shop for youâŠâ
The voice was steady.
Zhu Yikeâs smile suddenly froze.
His expression changed and his eyes narrowed. A murderous light flashed in his eyes.
âGood! Very good!â
The people in the shop, including Aunt Xiang, Ah Yao, and the shopkeeper, Li Fugui, were all stunned.
âBrother Li, what do you mean? Dongdong was frightened by his murderous gaze and took half a step back.
âWhat do I mean?â Zhu Yike raised his head and laughed loudly. âI risked my life to bring the three of you to hide here. Youâre asking me what I mean now?â
He grabbed at the air. One second ago, Dongdong stood beside the wall cabinet. In the next second, her neck was gripped by Zhu Yikeâs hand.
âI would like to ask you, what is the meaning of this Divine Secret aura on your body?â
Zhu Yike almost peed his pants.
He couldnât believe that he had been under this spyâs surveillance all this time!
The poisonous pill had been fed, the spiritual source had been banned and the slave token had been madeâŠ
He had taken all the precautions he could, and Dongdong did not show any abnormalities along the way.
Even so, Zhu Yike did not let his guard down. These three people were under his watch day and night, and he did not even communicate with them.
But after a short and annoying period of time with Li Fugui, Dongdong became a spy?
If it wasnât for the fact that Lord Shou had entrusted himself to his body and noticed that something was wrong at a glance, would he still be kept in the dark?
But that was not rightâŠ
Lord Shou was previously in Li Fuguiâs body.
That fellow was indeed weak, but it couldnât be that his spiritual senses were restricted to this extent and he couldnât see Dongdongâs oddity, right?
So, this bit of Divine Secret aura had just been exposed?
She took advantage of the time when he went to see Lord Shou and used the Divine Secret to contact a Divine Sorcerer?
Was it Dao Qiongcang?
However, she did not have any spiritual source, so how did she use the Divine Secret?
Zhu Yike became Zhu of the one hundred thousand whys.
âThump.â
The silver elephant jade white ivory fell to the ground.
When she saw Dongdong being captured by Brother Li, Ah Yao seemed to have lost her mind. She muttered to herself and shook her head.
âImpossible, impossibleâŠâ
Aunt Xiang was still relatively calm, as if the sky had fallen and it had nothing to do with her.
âWhat, are⊠you saying?â Dongdong felt as if she was suffocating. She kept kicking and struggling as she tried to speak.
âI want to know, how did you manage to use the Divine Secret without any spiritual source?â Zhu Yike only wanted to sigh at how powerful Lord Shou was. He could even tell that this person had used the Divine Secret.
His fingertips moved rapidly.
At first, it was a stone, but later on, it was cut into underwear, shoes, socks, hair, hairpins, internal organs, bones⊠There was everything.
In the end, everything was fixed on a command token.
When it appeared, the entire shop fell into dead silence.
âCity Leaving Token!â
Ah Yao covered her mouth and exclaimed.
Wasnât this the key to Sister Dongdongâs breakthrough, the key that brought her out of this predicament?
âNo!â
âIâm notâŠâ
Dongdong was also shocked. After she glanced at the City Leaving Token, she turned her head desperately and looked at Aunt Xiang behind her. Her struggles became even more intense.
âAunt Xiang! It wasnât me! Iâm not!â
Zhu Yike was furious and glared at Aunt Xiang. âI told you to kill them one by one, then nothing will happen!â
He crushed the City Leaving Token.
Then, he flipped his hand and took out the slave jade talisman that dripped with Dongdongâs blood. Under the latterâs terrified gaze, he crushed it without hesitation.
âBoom!â
