492 Another Fiery Eye (1/2)

Lin Kong became increasingly nervous as he met Zhou Bao's icy-cold stare. Qin Mengyao was his wife, but most important of all, she possessed the Raging Fire Bloodline, and as such, she was the best person for controlling the Golden Flame Sword. Furthermore, she was one of the most significant fighters of Chaotian Palace. Naturally, Lin Kong did not want anything bad to happen to Qin Mengyao. However, after what he had seen, he figured out that Zhou Bao was much more powerful than what the legends said about him. He had actually felt fearful when he confronted Zhou Bao. It was an innate fear coming from deep inside his heart and his bloodline, which was a feeling he had not experienced for a long time.

But for this fear, he would have taken action as soon as Zhou Bao had taken the Golden Flame Sword away.

”Fellow Taoist Zhou, you have my assurance. Although Mengyao was born in the Qin Family, she has been married to me for a long time already and has nothing to do with the Qin Family!” While speaking, he cast a sharp glance at Qin Mengyao before she could make any remark. Qin Mengyao was extremely unhappy with this situation, however, under Lin Kong's coercion, she dared not open her mouth to utter any retorts.

”Really? I don't think so. If she is not involved, she would not have been here now, and why did she launch an attack on me?”

Lin Kong smiled. At this very moment, he had regained the dignity and manner of a Palace Leader. He said, ”That was earlier. She will not do that again. I promise you that Mengyao will not cause you any more trouble in the future. If she does, you can just kill her!”

His words sounded very simple. To Qin Mengyao, however, those words swept through her very bones and heart like a cold wind blowing. Subconsciously, she glanced at Lin Kong, only to be met by his icy glare. Submitting to the fear deep inside her heart, she lowered her head and dared not say anything.

”Since this is the case, I'll give you some face. I promise you that if she does not cause any trouble, I will not go after her!” Zhou Bao nodded his head in agreement.

”However, there is another thing that I need to bother you with!” Lin Kong was delighted he could get Zhou Bao to agree on this matter without the slightest hesitation.

”Do you want that sword back?” Zhou Bao sneered as if he knew what Lin Kong was thinking about. ”That would be a bit troublesome. Though that sword means nothing to me, it's part of my loot. I've already spared your wife's life for your sake. If you still want me to return the sword, other people would think that I'm afraid of the East Sea Chaotian Palace once this matter is made known publicly. I'm afraid that something is very wrong here!”

”Of course I understand. I won't ask for the sword back for nothing!” Lin Kong said confidently and added, ”I'll offer you a reasonable compensation!”

”A compensation?” Zhou Bao smiled and continued saying, ”All right. I'd like to know what you have to offer me?”

Lin Kong smiled and took one item out of his chest pouch, and said, ”Well, will this be enough to make amends for your losses?”

”A Fiery Eye?” Upon seeing the fiery pupil, Zhou Bao was startled.

”Yes, it's a Fiery Eye that has the name of the Eternal Eye. Look...!”

Before he could even finish speaking, Zhou Bao flicked the circle in his hand with his fingers. Soon after, a golden light flashed and shot toward Lin Kong directly.

Lin Kong was overjoyed when he saw this. He loosened his hold and let Zhou Bao take the Fiery Eye away.

Just as he was about to say something, Zhou Bao disappeared.

”How fast he is! Zhou Bao is really powerful. No wonder His Majesty told me not to create any problems!” Lin Kong felt frightened as he had not noticed Zhou Bao's departure.

”Leader...!”

”Well, that's it. Go back!” Lin Kong cast a cold glance at Qin Mengyao, saying, ”This will be the first time and also the last time. I hope it won't happen again, otherwise, your days in Chaotian Palace are numbered!”

Qin Mengyao dared not utter a word. She followed Lin Kong and left the South Mountains obediently.

As for the fate of the Qin Family, it was not something that she dared ask about at the present moment.

”Haha, I can't believe that I have another Fiery Eye. Now, I have four Fiery Eyes in addition to my External Elixir. Shall I turn all of them to External Elixirs? I've opened Real Dragon's Nine Acupoints, therefore, why would I want so many External Elixirs for?” Zhou Bao pondered on this in his heart.

The Fiery Eye was indeed the best material for refining the External Elixir. Zhou Bao had already opened Real Dragon's Nine Acupoints and possessed immense Real Essence. If he liked, he was still able to open other secret acupoints. However, all this meant little to him because once an acupoint was opened, he would possess immense Real Essence and Dharma power, but this would take up too much of his time in order to absorb the Real Essence and Dharma power. At present, the Real Dragon's Nine Acupoints and the Fiery Eye External Elixir had already reached his limitation. If he should open one more acupoint, or refine one more External Elixir, he had to double the amount of time he spent practicing every day at the very least. If he were to refine two External Elixirs, he would spend his entire life doing nothing except to practice.
