Chapter 345 (2/2)
“Fifteen years?”
“Alright, understand.”
“These treasures, they are worth eight thousand Deity crystals?”
“This Blood Creeping Flower is so formidable? You have bought so many Deity corpses for her?”
“Alright.”
Jing Qiu interjected every now and then as he spoke. Her heart was truly filled with joy, for she knew her husband was alive. This, in and of itself, was already a great source of happiness, but he had even successfully gotten his poison cured. Now, they could truly accompany each other for a very long time.
After half an hour of proper business discussions…
“Xue Ying, I see now that you’ve become very naggy,” Jing Qiu teased.
“This is a matter of utmost importance for the Xia Clan, so I can never be too careful,” he replied.
She smiled back. “Rest assured. I’ll definitely do these things you asked of me properly. I’ll report to you after I’ve finished each of them.”
“Of course I’d trust you, my wife! You’re the most formidable Transcendent mage in the past thousand years!” Xue Ying praised her, though his words rang true. Jing Qiu might have become a Transcendent later than Xue YIng and Yuan Qing, but she was still quite young. And even then, mages were, by nature, very reliant on getting experience. Thus, with her being a mage, Jing Qiu’s cultivation speed was actually truly formidable.
“So much time has passed since we last met, yet when you finally contact me through this communication wristband, all you’re saying is some pitter-patter and a huge load of business talk. Don’t you have something…that you truly want to tell me?” Jing Qiu asked.
“Err…” Xue Ying immediately racked his brain to find an answer before finally smiling. “Since I’ve already gotten the poison cured, just wait until I leave the place. We’ll make a kid. Wait, no, we’ll have a bunch of children!”
Jing Qiu’s face turned bright red. “A bunch of them!?”
“Rest assured. Our children will certainly have the most formidable bloodline in the history of Xia Clan.” Despite his joking about, Xue Ying was fully confident in those words. As someone who succeeded in cultivating the Time Immemorial body, his bloodline now was absolutely above other Primordial Bloodlines and Demonic Bloodlines.
…
The same day, Jing Qiu left for the Infernal Palace, where she met Palace Head Chen.
“Jing Qiu, why have you come?” Palace Head Chen was relatively startled. “Are there news?”
“I’ve been tasked by Xue Ying to inform you,” Jing Qiu began, “that the war with the Sorcerer God and the Great Demonic God will likely begin in fifteen years!”
Palace Head Chen was momentarily shocked. “Xue Ying is back?”
“He has not returned from Crimson Rock Mountain. Instead, he asked one of the other life forms to send this information over,” Jing Qiu explained.
“Is he alive or dead?” Palace Head Chen asked.
“I am not sure of that either,” she answered.
This was also among the matters Xue Ying had asked of her. The news regarding his becoming an honorary disciple could not be leaked to any people except for her!
“Inside the mountain, Xue Ying gained some other information, including the news that the Sorcerer God is the Lord of a mortal world…” Jing Qiu passed on everything Xue Ying told her, and Palace Head Chen’s expression changed drastically in response. “Xue Ying has also obtained some treasures which he sent over. Amongst them are some which can help cultivation. Palace Head Chen, you should decide how to split and let the strongest Demigods of our Xia Clan use. Who knows, we might even see a new Deity emerge.”
“Mn.” Palace Head Chen nodded. He immediately received the storage treasure.
Xue Ying had exchanged for quite a large amount of spirit liquid and spirit fruit, as well as other precious resources which were all meant to aid in cultivation.
He hoped the Xia Clan would see one or two more Deities emerge.
Of them, a small part had been left to Jing Qiu, while all of the others were to be given to Palace Head Chen for him to arrange.
…
Palace Head Chen very soon decided on whom should receive the resources.
Having previously been secretly migrating people only, the Xia Clan finally started moving with purpose now that they gained more information and understood that the war would be much more cruel than they expected! Furthermore, they even knew an approximate time for when the war might erupt.
None of them dared put their hopes on wishful thinking any longer.
The Transcendent clans were moving their people, which consisted of mostly Legend rankers and talents from other aspects.
After all, the Infernal World was only so big. It seemed unfair, but they had to first ensure the survival of the most talented.
This sort of exodus would always be cruel. The entire Xia Clan world became chaotic as all those who received the information tried to move their families and clans into the Infernal World.
