C3608 A Blood Debt from a Thousand Years ago
At that time, Lie Xin was only a slightly famous Tribulation Transcender. His strength wasn't very strong, but he had entered the secret realm with his Dao partner just for the fruits.
Everything was going smoothly, and after a large number of Tribulation Transcenders died, the two walked to the end.
However, right at this moment, they were surrounded by the Shi Family, and Lie Xin's Dao partner died.
At that moment, the Marquis wanted to help, but he was stopped by Shi Yue and Dao Sovereign Pure Yang. He could only watch as Lie Xin's partner died on the spot, just like the scene in front of him.
The Pure Yang Dao Sovereign started to think back to what had happened and said, "There's no need to mention this anymore. It's just the death of a female cultivator. It's nothing."
In his opinion, it was just the death of a female cultivator. It was nothing.
"That's right. It's just a female Tribulation Transcender." Shi Yue agreed, but his face didn't look good.
"Hmph, is that so?" The Marquis Zi Jin sneered and didn't say anything else.
He had already seen the ugly faces of these two, but this time, he only felt disgusted and nauseous.
To Shi Yue and Dao Sovereign Pure Yang, it was just the death of an insignificant female cultivator, but to Lie Xin, it was his everything, his lover.
At this moment, Shi Yue, who was about to help, started to hesitate.
He didn't dare to take the risk. If the Duke of Purple-Golden took the chance to attack, he probably wouldn't be a match.
The current situation was different from before. The strength of both sides had been reversed a thousand years ago.
"Patriarch, save me, save me. I don't want to die." The disciple of the Shi family tried his best to ask for help in the air.
However, Shi Yue wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
Behind him, his eyes were red and his heart was filled with hatred. He bit down on the opponent and shouted: "If you want to leave, then die."
"Fire Cloud Sword, one slash."
An astonishing flame sword qi flashed by and pierced through the disciple of the Shi family. The disciple was burned into ashes in the air and couldn't be more dead.
Lie Xin seemed to have gone mad. He kept attacking with his sword until there was no trace of the Shi family disciple left, and even his ashes were scattered.
His eyes were filled with hatred and limitless anger.
Seeing this, Shi Yue's eyebrows furrowed as he thought in his heart, "I'm afraid this brat can't be left alive. Hmph."
He coldly snorted and ignored the other four people. He turned around and left the secret realm.
"He left just like that?" The Pure Yang Dao Venerate was stunned for a moment before asking.
"If you're not leaving, then what are you staying here for?" Shi Yue coldly said as he quickly left in anger.
In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared into the horizon. Lie Xin's eyes were filled with killing intent as he stared at Shi Yue's back.
He wanted revenge, but he knew that he was no match for Shi Yue.
This hatred was the biggest motivation for him to become stronger, and this attack on the Shi family disciples was only the beginning.
"Hmm, looks like the good show is over. It's time to leave." Gu Changsheng said with an indifferent expression.
He didn't care about Lie Xin's actions at all. He didn't like Shi Yue either, but there was nothing he could do about it.
In a battle between cultivators at the Immortal level, it was a fight to the death. Therefore, unless it was a blood feud, they would choose to endure.
Endure it for a while and it would be over.
"It's just for a woman. Is it worth it? Lie Xin has offended Shi Yue, so he's probably going to be sad." The Pure Yang Dao Sovereign mocked.
He then turned around and left the secret realm.
Feng Hou cupped his fists at Zi Jin Hou and left the secret realm with his people after saying a few words.
In the blink of an eye, only Chen Xiao and the Zi Jin Marquis were left in the secret realm.
"Come, let's go over." Lie Xin endured the pain on his body and said.
"Okay."
The three of them quickly flew over and bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Lord Chairman."
"Greetings, Head of the Gathering."
"Greetings, Lord Head of the Gathering."
The Marquis's cold eyes swept over the three of them. Finally, a smile appeared on his face as he said: "There is no need to be so reserved. This time, the three of you have done well. I am very happy, especially after slapping Shi Yue's face."
As he spoke, the Marquis Zi Jin began to laugh loudly.
Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that even the experts in the Immortal Realm were not as friendly as they seemed on the surface.
"Thank you for giving me the chance to kill my enemy." Lie Xin lowered his head and said.
"No need to thank me. This is a chance that you fought for yourself. However, this way, Shi Yue will probably hate you and attack you from the shadows. You need to be more careful." The Duke of Zi Jin warned.
"Yes, thank you for your reminder. I will. Sooner or later, I'll take revenge." Lie Xin said in his heart.
The Duke of Zi Jin nodded his head and didn't say anything else.
From his point of view, if Lie Xin wanted revenge, the only way was to break through to the Immortal level. Unfortunately, it was too hard and the chances were slim, so there was no point in saying anything.
At this moment, the Marquis Zi Jin looked at Chen Xiao, stretched out his right hand and said: "Chen Xiao, bring me the immortal fruit. As a reward, you can make a request, as long as I can satisfy it."
Hearing that, Chen Xiao took a deep breath, and his mind was greatly moved.
This was what he had expected. The fruit was so precious that even those at the Immortal level would covet it. Even if he managed to get it, he wouldn't really give it to him. It was already good enough that he could exchange it with Marquis Zi Jin.
Being too greedy would only harm others and himself. Chen Xiao knew this very well.
"Yes." Chen Xiao took out the immortal fruit and offered it with both hands.
Seeing this, Marquis Zi Jin took the fruit and was very satisfied with Chen Xiao's attitude. He smiled and said, "What kind of treasure do you want as a reward? You can think about it slowly. When you have decided, you can come to the Purple Cloud City to find me."
The Purple Cloud City was the headquarters of the Purple Gold Chamber of Commerce in the Kui Nan Province. It was also the base camp and the cave of the Marquis Zi Jin.
With Chen Xiao's identity as an official elder of the chamber of commerce, he could freely enter and exit the Purple Cloud City.
After saying that, the Duke of Purple Gold was about to leave.
At this time, Chen Xiao did not want to delay any longer. After thinking for a while, he immediately said, "Master Guild Leader, I want to cash in the reward now."
"Oh, that's fine." The Marquis's brow furrowed, his face hardened, and he said, "This is a rare opportunity. You have to think about it carefully. You only have one chance, and you can't go back on your word after you exchange it. I suggest that you think about it more."
"I understand the good intentions of the leader, but I have already thought about it carefully. I only ask for one thing. The leader should have it." Chen Xiao said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"Is that so? Tell me about it." The Marquis Zi Jin raised his eyebrows and said.
"What I want is a method of immortality." Chen Xiao's words were shocking as he looked at the Marquis Zi Jin with bright eyes.
