Chapter 899
Chapter 900. Cough, you should have said so earlier.
As soon as the Pillar State’s order was issued, Huang Zhaoyue’s killing intent gradually receded, and Zhuo Hua’s figure re-condensed in the shadowy place.
The dark red feather robe ignited, and the androgynous fair cheek was raised. With a faint smile, she looked at the temple gate, raising the token in her hand, “One who holds this token is equivalent to the Pillar State’s personal presence! Your Highness, please come out and meet me.”
Boom—!! The killing intent that had just receded instantly returned, and the world became terrifying!
The world also quietly turned black and white, and an invisible abyss blade cut through the feather-robed man’s right arm.
“Sizzle!!” As blood spurted, the severed arm exploded, and countless dense black crystal ice shards instantly shot out from the chest, limbs, and head. The feather-robed man’s face turned pale, and he exploded into a hedgehog, his eyeballs widening in shock and their luster quickly fading.
“Bang—” His body completely exploded, turning into countless dark brown sludge, which landed with a splattering sound.
“.”
However, after landing, the sludge did not remain still. As if alive, nearly a hundred clumps of sludge wriggled like caterpillars towards Ni Yan, slowly crawling and merging into the shadows.
At this moment, a cold, indifferent voice finally came from the temple, “Scram. This King will go to the warship in an hour.”
The sludge re-condensed into a human form, but its face was even paler than before. The expression remained indifferent, and he grinned, bent down, and performed a gentleman’s bow, “As Your Highness commands.”
As soon as the words fell, the standing sludge man and the wooden man kneeling on one knee beside him turned into black shadows and merged into the ground, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Inside the temple,
there were no statues, not even any miscellaneous items.
Only dark airflow filled the space.
Huang Zhaoyue hovered in the dim mid-air, and the dark airflow slowly circled around her.
“Are they all gone?” Xia Feng slowly walked out of the shadows.
Just a minute ago, Huang Zhaoyue had sensed his Dragon Tail aura and directly teleported him into this dark temple.
Upon hearing Xia Feng’s voice, Huang Zhaoyue slowly opened her eyes and turned into a shadowy figure, appearing instantly behind Xia Feng.
“!” The hairs on the back of Xia Feng’s neck stood on end, and he inexplicably felt a terrifying chill behind him. A cold female voice sounded, “Your Excellency did not escape but instead took the initiative to fulfill the contract. This surprises this King.”
As she spoke, a slender hand placed on Xia Feng’s shoulder, making his whole body tense subconsciously. He quickly took a few steps forward and abruptly turned around.
He said in a deep voice with a blank expression, “Your Highness the Imperial Concubine, according to our agreement, I will hand over my body, soul, and even my life to you within half a year. Therefore, I have the right to choose to fulfill the agreement at the very last moment of the six months. Please do not act rashly, and do not touch me.”
This was also the reason he dared to come to find Huang Zhaoyue.
As long as he helped Huang Zhaoyue resolve her marriage issues within these six months, he would be free to go anywhere afterward.
Upon hearing Xia Feng’s words, the black and white female shadow’s delicate eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly, but she still nodded, “That makes sense.”
“If that’s the case, why did you come here in advance?” she asked, raising her dark eyes slightly.
Xia Feng smiled slightly, spread his hands, and said, “Your Highness the Imperial Concubine, I don’t have many other merits. My only merit is keeping my word. We also agreed that once I help you solve the marriage problem, you would take me to get the Holy Dragon Judgment Spirit Paper.”
“Look, for this agreement, I didn’t dare to rest after leaving the Sumeru Realm and came to find you immediately.”
As he spoke, Xia Feng rubbed his chin, “However, looking at Your Highness the Imperial Concubine’s situation, it seems you are not doing well. Did Huang Ye send the Great Sin Legion to capture you?”
Huang Zhaoyue ignored Xia Feng’s boastful words and shook her head indifferently, “Your blood suppressed the repair of this King’s bloodline. Although it could not solve the fundamental problem, it successfully delayed the marriage. However, it is a pity that an accident still occurred.”
“Accident?”
“It is known that there are three Abyssal Bone Flowers in the world. One is in the Sumeru Realm, and two are on Burning Heaven Island. Sin Day made two preparations to find the Abyssal Bone Flower. First, by entering the Sumeru Realm through the Sumeru War, allowing this King to obtain the Abyssal Bone Flower. Second, Burning Heaven Sacred Hall.”
“Not long ago, the spy Sin Day planted within Burning Heaven Island was activated. The information received stated that they had successfully obtained the two Abyssal Bone Flowers on the island.”
“The Great Sin’s Shadow coming this time is for this King to lead the Great Sin Legion to receive that spy and absorb the Abyssal Bone Flowers that are about to wither.”
Xia Feng nodded thoughtfully, “I guess that saying you will lead the team is actually a disguised form of surveillance. Once you absorb two Abyssal Bone Flowers and your bloodline is completely stable, they will take you back to the Central Continent quickly, right? They won’t give you a chance for your bloodline to become unstable again.”
However, what truly surprised Xia Feng was that they were going to Burning Heaven Island?
Since the first time he died and entered the Nightmare River, the Everlasting Day Mark on his body had been completely removed, freeing him from Sister Yi’s harassment. Because of this, he hadn’t seen Gong Changyi for nearly a year.
He estimated that this woman might not even know that he had been resurrected for a long time.
Thinking about the possibility of meeting this morbid elder sister who adopted him in his childhood again, Xia Feng’s scalp tingled slightly.
Troublesome, why did these people have to go to Burning Heaven Island of all places?
“Since you said you would help this King, it’s perfect. You will accompany me on this trip. This way, even if this King absorbs the Abyssal Bone Flowers, I can once again use your blood to resist the medicinal effects of the flowers without anyone noticing. Even with the Great Sin Legion monitoring, they won’t be able to detect anything.”
“…Cough, I think, actually, there’s no need to be so troublesome.” Xia Feng extended his hand, “Don’t you just need to counteract the medicinal effects of the flowers? You can absorb my blood in advance and store it, then counteract the medicinal effects at that time. There’s no need for me to go with you.”
“Moreover, if you ask me, suppressing the bloodline by absorbing my blood is ultimately a temporary solution. If you want to break off the engagement, why not just assassinate Huang Shikui and get rid of him? That would be a permanent solution.”
Huang Zhaoyue shook her head and remained silent.
How could she not have thought of what Xia Feng suggested? However, Huang Shikui was protected by various means from Huang Ye.
Even though Huang Shikui’s strength had not even reached the Venerable tier, under the perfect protection of Huang Ye’s Heavenly God-tier abilities, even a True God could not kill him.
Unless another Heavenly God personally intervened.
However, there were only a handful of Heavenly Gods in existence, and there was no reason for them to openly oppose Huang Ye.
Her gray vertical pupils lifted slightly, “So, you are unwilling to follow this King?”
“I’m not going.”
“First, Dragon Spirit Blood can only remain effective for a limited time after leaving the main body, and its efficacy decreases over time. Second, the Spirit Paper of the Holy Dragon Judgment is located near the Burning Heaven Island area. Third, Burning Heaven Island has Time Soil.” Huang Zhaoyue calmly listed the key points concisely and comprehensively.
She knew that Xia Feng could use the Moon Time Divine Domain and even wanted to forge this S-grade Spirit Robe into a Dao Fruit.
Forging a time-element Spirit Robe Dao Fruit would definitely require Time Soil, and Xia Feng would not be indifferent to it.
“Now, are you willing to follow this King?” she asked softly.
“.”
“…Cough, hehe~ If you had Time Soil, Your Highness, you should have said so earlier.”
