Chapter 1842: Chapter 1861: The White-Clad Arrives!
He didn’t want to engage in a life-and-death struggle with ’Huang’, especially since his objective was already achieved, with the greatest bargaining chip in his hand.
’Xi Yao’ is ’Huang’s reverse scale, but also his weakness. When ’Huang’ saw ’Prison’s sinister and fierce gaze and threatening words, he suddenly awoke, and his berserk state gradually dissipated.
"What do you want?"
’Huang’ suppressed his anger, staring fiercely at ’Prison’. He wished he could tear the other apart, but the one he loved was in their hands, leaving him utterly powerless.
"Another one of these hateful acts!"
Ye Xuan glared at ’Prison’, not expecting someone of Heaven-shocking Extremist’s stature to use such underhanded methods.
Using hostages as threats, it seemed that even Heaven-shocking Extremists were merely individuals with great cultivation, bearing no relation to the level of life’s cultivation.
Ye Xuan despised being threatened, and although the threat wasn’t aimed at him, he could not ignore the girl in the coffin.
At that moment, Ye Xuan quickly devised a strategy to break this stalemate.
Moreover, Ye Xuan deeply understood that if he didn’t swiftly resolve this crisis, ’Huang’ would definitely be subjugated by ’Prison’.
What of the Ancient Evil King?
"Xi Yao" is his greatest weakness, no matter what ’Prison’ asked him to do, Ye Xuan was certain he would comply.
Attempting to break this crisis through force was impossible, as his cultivation paled in comparison to ’Prison’s, even if ’Huang’s cultivation exceeded theirs, the woman in the coffin was in ’Prison’s hands, making it futile.
Outsmarting!
Ye Xuan could only resort to cunning, the only viable approach.
But how to outsmart them?
A tremendous challenge lay before Ye Xuan, as schemes and stratagems were utterly powerless before absolute strength.
Attempting to reclaim the Bronze Ancient Coffin through cunning would be incredibly difficult.
Ye Xuan was anxious and pondering, yet couldn’t think of a solution due to ’Prison’s overwhelming cultivation, beyond the reach of mere scheming.
"Huang, you, the so-called Ancient Evil King, are truly a pity, trapped here for the sake of one woman," ’Prison’ feigned regret.
"Enough talk, what exactly do you want?"
’Huang’ suppressed his fury, coldly shouting, having lost his composure and calm, solely focused on reclaiming the Bronze Ancient Coffin.
"Ancient Evil King, truly straightforward, so I’ll get to the point."
"I want you to destroy this so-called Origin Land, and want you to abolish the cultivation of Huang’s reincarnated body. Once you accomplish these two tasks, I’ll return ’Xi Yao’ to you."
’Prison’ bluntly stated the conditions, causing Ye Xuan and ’Huang’ to change their expressions.
"You really are targeting me." Ye Xuan remarked coldly.
Clearly, ’Prison’ didn’t dare to personally kill him, fearing the legend appearing, nor did he dare to have ’Huang’ kill Ye Xuan, as the same terrifying consequence could arise.
So, he devised a compromise: merely abolish Ye Xuan’s cultivation and destroy the Origin Land that birthed him.
Of course, ’Prison’ considered personally abolishing Ye Xuan’s cultivation, but was wary of ’Huang’s existence, thus utilizing ’Huang’, as it was the safest measure.
"Impossible!"
Suddenly, ’Huang’ shouted in refusal, causing Ye Xuan to pause, assuming ’Huang’ would act against him, given he could do anything for the girl in the coffin.
Actually, Ye Xuan’s assumption was correct, ’Huang’ indeed would do anything for the girl, even kill him.
However, there was a condition, Ye Xuan was the only hope to awaken the girl, if Ye Xuan’s cultivation were abolished, and the Origin Land destroyed, he would truly vanish, and the girl would lose all chance of revival.
In this balance of interests, ’Huang’ hadn’t completely lost his composure and naturally knew the right choice.
"Change your terms, I can give you the Evil Sky Technique, just return her to me, and I guarantee I won’t trouble you." ’Huang’ stated coldly.
"Evil Sky Technique?"
’Prison’ was slightly intrigued, as he knew the technique was exceptional, ranking above Desolate Heaven Technique among Forbidden Heavenly Techniques.
If he acquired the Evil Sky Technique, it would be tremendously beneficial, potentially even allowing him to comprehend it and find a means to subdue ’Huang’.
This temptation even intrigued ’Prison’ momentarily, but he promptly came to his senses, impossible to accept ’Huang’s conditions.
"Hahaha."
"Evil Sky Technique may be excellent, but Huang’s reincarnated body means much more to us. If you cannot agree to my conditions, I must apologize."
Boom!
’Prison’s whole body erupted with earth-shattering black light, and the dreaded sealing power surged, his fingers already on the Bronze Ancient Coffin, seeming ready to obliterate the girl inside in an instant.
It had to be said, both in cultivation and mindset, ’Prison’ was flawless and frighteningly deep.
He effectively grasped ’Huang’s weakness, forcing him to work for him.
"No!"
Such a scene made ’Huang’ scream in horror, his face twisted fiercely, evidently pushed to the limit by the other.
"I only give you three breaths to consider, if you don’t agree after that, then prepare for Xi Yao Goddess to turn to ashes."
’Prison’ shouted fiercely, refusing to grant ’Huang’ any moment to breathe.
"Three...two...!"
As ’Prison’ counted down to two, ’Huang’ finally compromised, for he couldn’t bear to see Xi Yao reduced to ashes.
Rumble!
Ancient Evil Light, boundlessly fierce, ’Huang’ turned towards Ye Xuan, his five fingers raising with a rumbling force. The terrifying Ancient Evil Light suppressed the eternal Heaven and Earth, even making Ye Xuan feel inescapably doomed.
"Good."
’Prison’ applauded and laughed, his goal nearly achieved; as long as ’Huang’ abolished Ye Xuan’s cultivation, then destroyed this Origin Land, Ye Xuan would never again become their hindrance.
"For Xi Yao, I’m sorry."
A generation’s Evil King, the Primordial supreme, had fallen to the point of being manipulated, it was humiliating, but for the woman he loved, he could only choose to abolish Ye Xuan’s cultivation.
"Abolish him."
’Prison’ roared fiercely, as long as ’Huang’ abolished Ye Xuan’s cultivation, he would directly seal and suppress Ye Xuan, regardless of how great Ye Xuan’s abilities were, he would ultimately face an inescapable fate.
"You’re courting death!"
Suddenly, at this critical moment, a powerful voice resounded, and a divine figure quietly appeared beside ’Prison’. The Ancient Tribulation Light, ancient and modern, crashed down towards ’Prison’.
Liu Baiyi!
The unexpected arrival was Liu Baiyi!
This strike seemed long-prepared, utterly terrifying, as an Ancient Tribulation Light struck ’Prison’s back devastatingly.
