Chapter 2103: Transaction (2/2)

“Is that so?” He looked over at Sword Emperor: “Such a good boy, a bit arrogant and crazy, but quite a firm dao heart. If I kill him, your clan will be without a successor.”

“Do it, Crow! My clan has plenty of descendants; they will surpa.s.s me in time!” Sword remained staunch.

“I will, but saving you for last.” Li Qiye said before turning his eyes towards the other Grand Emperors from Celestial Court and Heaven Authority.

“Brother, there is no lack of firewood as long as the verdant hills remain. We heaveners require capable talents; a few things could be regained again, but talents are hard to groom.” Darkness told World.

World also looked at the emperors from Heaven Authority while they stared back at him. He was the only one who could save them right now.

“What do you want?” He acquiesced in the end.

“I know your clan has an item, something I want, of course you get it.” Li Qiye smiled.

“No.” World refused instantly. Their clan would never hand over the thing he wanted. In fact, he already had a good guess when the crow wanted to talk. There was only one thing from their clan that could tempt the crow.

All eyes were on World; they didn’t know what this item was.

“I rather die instead!” Sword screamed. Though he has never seen the real version, he was aware of its importance. It was priceless to their clan and only World knew its location.

“Brat, you have a big mouth.” Li Qiye sealed Sword completely before clapping with a smile: “Don’t worry, I’m not asking for much, just a copy will be fine.”

World pondered for a bit, seemingly hesitating.

“Brother, you can get it again in the future.” Darkness hurriedly told World.

World glanced at the group once more before gritting his teeth: “Only if you release all of them!”

“You’re being greedy, Geezer. But alright, I’ll make an exception since you are essentially my father-in-law. Nine, you may pick nine. As for the rest, I will have to apologize for refusing. This is me being quite generous already.” Li Qiye teased.

“Your Majesty!” The surviving emperors addressed him in the most respectful manner!

World eventually spoke with a dark expression: “Fellow Daoists, I have tried my best.”

He eventually picked nine Grand Emperors including Darkness and Sword along with seven members from both Celestial Court and Heaven Authority.

“I’m a man of my words.” Li Qiye laughed and removed the executions on them: “Congratulation, gentlemen, for surviving.”

Sword and the others slowly retreated behind World Emperor, ready to listen to his orders henceforth.

“As for the rest, I’ll send you guys off now.” He then smiled at the ones left behind.

These ones closed their eyes, knowing that no one would be able to save them today. World had tried his best to protect the heaveners in order to leave behind sparks for the future.

“Pluff!” The twelve laws pierced through their body and dragged out their wills.

The survivors watched this scene with difficulty. This would have been their fate as well.

“Brother, I owe you my life again.” Darkness bowed deeply at World in order to show grat.i.tude for his concession and sacrifice.
