579 Closing a Deal (2/2)
”Three Western Regions also have a Transmitting Formation leading to the Infinite Star Sea?” Right now, Zhou Bao was really confused.
”Since there is one in the Four Eastern Regions and one in the Sea Area, then, there must be another in the Three Western Regions!” Elder Qing answered with certainty. ”Years ago when the Jade Emperor launched his Great Heaven Divine Sense to move me from the Central Star Area in the Heaven Realm to this Star Area, that action was mainly for evading the upcoming disaster. However, he didn't cut off any passageways connecting to other Star Area or the chance to return to the Central Star Area. Now it seems that this Infinite Star Sea is the most crucial link that Jade Emperor left for us to return to the Central Star Area. Meanwhile, the Seven-deity Regions and the Sea Area have been in existence since antiquity times. Thus, I believe, there must be a Transmitting Formation in the Three Western Regions!”
”You are not asking us to go to the Three Western Regions again, are you?”
”Right, we do have this idea. The strength of the Infinite Star Sea is matchless. Even though our Highest Elders have excellent cultivation, they are outnumbered by their enemies. In such a strange Star Area, it is easy for them to get in danger. Thus, we have to send someone to come to their aid. This matter not only concerns our Four Eastern Regions but also concerns the overall strength of the entire Seven-deity Regions or even the Heaven Realm itself. Therefore, the Three Western Regions definitely shouldn't just sit back and watch all of this. Well, of course, we will coordinate everything so you guys won't have to travel across the vast Sea Area like you did the last time!”
”Hold on, you said what? 'You guys'? You are not sending me there again!”
”Taking account of your strength and your experience, you are our best choice!” Elder Qing let out a sigh of resignation, and then looked at Yan Yuntian, who had been sitting in the center of the hall but had not said a word, and asked, ”Your Majesty, I beg your advice!”
”Yes, he is indeed the best choice!” Yan Yuntian nodded as well. ”King Wuyang, an able man is always busy. This matter shall be handled by no one other than you!”
”Are you sure? I just got back, and now I have to go out again?” Extreme unwillingness crossed Zhou Bao's face. ”How about this...Great Dark Lord Du and Yukun Buddha also just got back from the Infinite Star Sea, and they can be said to be pretty familiar with that place. Plus, they just stirred more trouble here, why not send them there so that they can also redeem themselves by making new contributions? If so, you can kill two birds with the same stone, can't you?”
”We're willing to go!” Yukun Buddha and Great Dark Lord Du were not fools. Hearing Zhou Bao's words, they both yelled at the same time. Right now, they could not pay attention to think about how dangerous this Infinite Star Sea was. After all, they had already ruined the Transmitting Formation on a whim and put themselves in an extremely dangerous situation. Despite that they enjoyed high status in their respective sects, when compared to those Highest Elders, they were as unimportant as ants. Not killing them on site after they made such a blunder was already an exceptionally lenient treatment for them. If they further refused to help fix this, even if they somehow managed to stay alive, the consequence they should bear would not be much better than death either.
”Of course they should go. However, their strength is too low to accomplish this. Thus, we still need you to do this in person!” Elder Qing said while shaking his head. Then, he glared at these two and went on, ”Relax, this time it won't be risky to go to the Three Western Regions. All you need to do is just to take those Highest Elders back. Plus, we won't let you do this for free!”
”So that means there are some benefits for me, right?” After giving this a thought, Zhou Bao still kept shaking his head. ”I'm afraid this can not be that simple. I've breed deep enmity with the Yuelang Cliff by killing one Lord of Heaven and one young master of them last time. Although they may not know it was me who did this yet, with their resourceful means they can certainly find out the cause and effect of this matter. If I guessed right, now the entire Infinite Star Sea is in action. They are ferreting out foreign arrivers like us. Maybe conflicts have already incurred. So this time, going to the Infinite Star Sea will be much riskier than the last time!”
”That's why you have to go!” Elder Qing sighed. ”Previously, in order to aid them in the Infinite Star Sea, a large portion of our Highest Elders from the five biggest sects have gone to the Infinite Star Sea. Therefore, our strength is now considerably reduced. At present, given that the situation of the Infinite Star Sea is so complicated, you are all we've got!”
”What about the benefits?” Zhou Bao asked while slightly squinting his eyes.
”A Taihao Fairy Weapon!”
”What? No, this can't be!”
”Are you kidding me?”
”Fairy weapon! How could this be possible? No!”
The moment Elder Qing said those words, the crowd in the hall started an uproar. They were all taken aback by Elder Qing's words. One fairy weapon? He must be kidding!
”Yes, one fairy weapon. As long as you accomplish this mission smoothly, we, the five biggest sects and the Dark Sect will jointly send you a fairy weapon as a reward. What do you think?” Ignoring the clamor around him, Elder Qing just fixed his eyes on Zhou Bao and asked.
”Deal! But, I won't take that Green Pith Leaf!”
