Xue Ying pondered for a while before replying: “Killing a Chaotic Origin Prisoner is very difficult. It is also very dangerous! A Chaotic Origin Prisoner will suffer from torture and suppression constantly. It is expected that the Chaotic Origin Prisoner would control himself to prevent his weakened body from getting heavily injured. But the moment he realizes he is in danger of dying, he’ll definitely go mad, putting in everything on the line for the battle! According to my knowledge, there are some in the history of Scarlet Cloud City who attempted to kill a Chaotic Origin Prisoner. More often than not, those cultivators would end up in failure and die a tragic death.”
Previously when he encountered the group of Hidden Devil Hunters, he had fought with the Chaotic Origin Prisoner leading the Hidden Devil Hunters.
Xue Ying saw the broken body of the other party. He saw huge injuries and withering muscles. He even saw many fractures on the bones. It was apparent that once the wave of punishment came down on the Chaotic Origin Prisoner, his bodily injuries would worsen to a grave degree. Most Chaotic Origin Prisoners would not be willing to let themselves be injured during battles.
“Yes, it is dangerous. But with the help of Monarch Flying Snow, our chances would be significantly higher.” Weather Leaf said.
“City Master, what can you give me in return?” Xue Ying continued.
Weather Leaf hesitated momentarily.
What could he give?
Food? In terms of food, nobody in the Sacred World would dare to say they could acquire food more easily than Monarch Flying Snow! His soul technique gave him the capability to venture through the Sacred World alone, easily killing all Grand Perfection God Emperor Chaotic Origin Lifeforms.
“You have acquired six Dao Lineage Chaotic Origin Lifeform corpses earlier right?” Weather Leaf said, “I’ll help you get 15 more Dao Lineage Chaotic Origin Lifeform corpses while assuring you that all of them are Grand Perfection God Emperors. You should know that most of them are located far away from our Scarlet Cloud City. Some of them are even close to the other assembly grounds.”
“I can easily exchange them using food.” Xue Ying shook his head.
“But some of them live close to the other four cities. It is very hard for you to exchange them.” Weather Leaf said.
“I can always fork out more food.” Xue Ying retorted.
Weather Leaf felt helpless.
Meeting this rich and imposing Monarch Flying Snow, he as a City Master felt helpless.
“I cultivate in the Dao of Void and Dao of Mirage.” Xue Ying said, “If City Master could find something that is of great help to me on these two Daos, I would perhaps help you out.”
“Alright.” Weather Leaf nodded slightly. Some precious treasures flitted through his mind. He had contact with the other four cities. The cultivators in the Sacred World originated from many different worlds. Some might even be the descendants of Chaotic Origin Experts! He knew some supreme treasures used for cultivation and all he could do is to prepare them in exchange for Xue Ying’s help.
“Then let us leave this matter as such. I shall make my move first.” Xue Ying smiled and stood up.
Weather Leaf nodded slightly.
He really had no choice.
In terms of influencing power in Scarlet Cloud City, this Monarch Flying Snow would likely not have any less than he as a City Master! Furthermore, it was even possible that more cultivators would rather follow after Monarch Flying Snow. Without sufficient payment, would this Monarch Flying Snow be willing to risk his life for his goal? Impossible!
‘My Mirage and Illusory Realm holds a miraculous effect against ordinary Chaotic Origin Lifeforms. However, to Chaotic Origin Prisoners, it is useless. My life would hence be threatened when facing a Chaotic Origin Prisoner. I can’t promise to help him this easily.’ Xue Ying thought. Chaotic Origin Prisoners were High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeforms. Their souls were too powerful, so powerful that Xue Ying’s current Mirage and Illusory Realm were futile.
And when he boosted his fleshy body to the peak, Xue Ying would merely be ranked at the bottom of the strongest apex cultivators within Scarlet Cloud City. Moreover, he could only maintain this state for the time taken to brew a cup of tea. That was simply too dangerous!
‘Even though this is only an avatar of mine, and I would remain perfectly fine given my avatars located in my hometown Origin World and Realm Heart Great Land, this opportunity of mine would be cut the moment I die.’ Xue Ying treasured his days of cultivation in the Sacred World.
…
After leaving the side hall, he arrived at the outdoor garden.
Almost all cultivators in the garden had left. Currently, there was only the Vice-City Master ‘Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor’ left drinking wine alone. Even Wu Xiao had left.
“Brother Flying Snow.” Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor pointed to his side with a smile, “Have a seat.”
“I’ve made City Master Nine-Headed wait.” Xue Ying said.
“Our lives are eternal. Such a short wait isn’t worth mentioning.” Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor looked at Xue Ying, “Weather Leaf wishes to get your help to kill that Chaotic Origin Prisoner located in ‘Wind Devil Valley’ right?”
“Yes.” Xue Ying nodded, “But I did not agree.”
Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor felt his heart palpitating.
