Chapter 1285 - Eight Budur (2/2)
”While our main focus is the Ancient Holy Gulf, we also have to pay attention to the perpetrator. I am also interested in the rumored Qi into Trinity.” The green-robed man smiled. ”If I could get the Eight Budur and Qi into Trinity, even if I were only a Complete Earthly Sovereign that was meeting a true Heavenly Sovereign, I'd still be able to stand a chance against him.”
The combat prowess of two of the legendary Rare Super Powers was absolutely beyond imagination.
”The Lord is wise, and only you are qualified to possess such a treasure. It is also a blessing for the perpetrator, who is able to provide a dowry for the Lord,” Gu Lion King said immediately.
The green-robed man smiled and said in a gentle tone, ”Gather some men and try to ascertain the perpetrator's whereabouts. After handling matters in the Ancient Holy Gulf, I will go to him myself. I wouldn't mind saying a few words for him in front of the elder, assuming that he would take the initiative to hand over the Qi into Trinity.”
He then added, ”Of course, the most important thing is whether or not we can hold this perpetrator in our hands. If so, we can use him as a bargaining chip against Qing Yanjing. If we can convince her to support me within the clan, then our strength should be sufficient.”
The black-robed Heavenly Sovereign nodded, then said, ”Although Qing Yanjing has been imprisoned for many years, she still has some strong supporters in the clan. These supporters cannot be underestimated. Hence, if you really can get them to support us, that will undoubtedly be good news.”
The green-robed man smiled and nodded. He then raised his head and looked into the misty depths, while smiling softly. ”So, this perpetrator is indeed my blessing...”
...
In the dark depths of the dungeon.
As Mu Chen looked at the calm lady who was sitting quietly, he heaved a sigh of relief. He could see that Ling Xi was clearly safe.
Ling Xi also raised her face at this time, gazing at the young man in front of her. A moment later, a relieved smile appeared on her face.
In the past few years, Mu Chen had completely matured. His former shy and amateur self had been replaced by a man who possessed tenacity and a calming aura that gave people peace of mind. He was still as handsome as ever, but was now even more charming.
Looking at Mu Chen, Ling Xi's smile grew gentler. This young boy from the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy could now truly face things on his own.
He no longer needed her protection, nor did he need Aunt Jing to constantly worry and fret over him. Moreover, judging from his fearless visit to the Spiritual Jade Island, Ling Xi now knew that Mu Chen had grown to the point where he was no longer afraid of the storm.
”Aunt Jing. Mu Chen has finally grown up, so you don't have to worry about him anymore. Also, I believe that it may not be long before the Budur Ancient Clan can no longer use Mu Chen to threaten you…” Ling Xi said.
”Sister Ling Xi...” As Mu Chen looked at Ling Xi, a bright smile appeared on his handsome face. With a wave of his robes, he clapped his hands against the prison bars and tried to destroy them.
Buzz.
However, when his palm fell upon the bars, they remained motionless.
Mu Chen gazed at the prison bars with some astonishment, soon discovering that the prison itself was composed of a spiritual array. Its rank did not seem to be any weaker than the Great Protection Array of Spiritual Jade Island.
This made him a little embarrassed as he scratched his head. Looks like this attempt at acting cool totally failed…
Giggle.
Behind him, Luo Li could not help but giggle. Ling Xi also smiled, and while she conjured a simple seal, a spiritual fluctuation soon emanated throughout the space. Instantly, the dark prison turned illusory, then disappeared completely!
”Ling Xi, you've already taken control of the spiritual array!” Long Xiang could not help but be shocked.
”All of the spiritual arrays here are arranged by Aunt Jing. So, when I was here for three years, I naturally learned how to control all of them. So, even if you didn't come, Gu Lion King wouldn't be able to do anything to me!” Ling Xi smiled.
The three looked at each other and laughed, each of them thinking to themselves, So, we did all of this in vain!
As they were speechless, Ling Xi laughed gently and said, ”Of course, the fact that you came to save me makes me extremely happy…” Her smile was clear and moving, and they could tell that it came from the bottom of her heart.
”But… It is an extras special blessing that you came here, Mu Chen.” Ling Xi looked at Mu Chen's bewilderment as she stretched out her tiny, jade-like hand.
She then gently laid her fingertips on the smooth, mirror-like black stone ground, which shimmered like a sea of stars. Her next words made Mu Chen widen his eyes even more.
She glanced at him and said, ”That is because here... Lies a present from Aunt Jing.”
