Chapter 1313: Buy Souls
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Han Fei accurately grasped some words.
Would Changshui Qin and the other Venerables personally watch the battle? This meant that people from the Water-Wood World and the Blood Sea Divine Wood City would also come, and they would also send Venerables to watch the battle in person.
Then what should he do as the Fish Dragon King?
However, on second thought, Han Fei realized that Queen Life already knew that he had snuck into the White Shell Royal City, so she should have a guess about what happened to the Demon Subduing Tower.
After all, Queen Life knew the strength of the Water Immortal very well. There was also a battle of kings here. It was obvious that the Water Immortal had awakened.
Now that the Water-Wood World was involved in this island competition, what would Queen Life think? Would she think he had already escaped or was still in the White Shell Royal City and would participate in this battle? Or would she take him as the Water-Wood World’s last resort again?
If it were the second situation, Han Fei would be in trouble. This battle was not easy to fight!
Han Fei was still a little surprised. It was just a battle between the Water Immortal and the White Armor Emperor, and the Demon Subduing Tower didn’t really break the Wall of Death. How did an island pop up?
On the stage, Changshui Qin said, “You have three days to prepare. This time, we will only expel or destroy the powerful creatures on the island. However, it is still very dangerous. This is not only a competition for opportunities on the island, but also a competition between the three parties.”
Hearing Changshui Qin’s words, Han Fei kept an excited and arrogant expression. It seemed that he was very much looking forward to this kind of battle.
When Han Fei returned to the residence, he sat on the bumpy throne and closed his eyes to cultivate.
Of course, Han Fei was not really cultivating, but thinking.
He had to consider the worst.
If Queen Life didn’t have any trump cards and thought that he could even save the Water Immortal, and let the whole team’s battle depend on him, then he would really be in trouble.
Now, he had just revealed his strength in front of countless people in the White Shell Royal City and almost reached the top. It was difficult for them not to notice him.
In this battle, there would be many people watching him.
If he was exposed in that situation, even if Queen Life tried to save him in person, it wouldn’t be good for him. Because once he was exposed, they would associate the matter about the Demon Subduing Tower with him.
Besides, his extraordinary means would be exposed too.
“Three days, only three days.”
Han Fei frowned. He needed to think of a perfect plan that could protect himself without hurting his own people under the watch of many Venerables and even kings.
Of course, it would be best if he could escape from the White Shell Royal City within the next three days. However, judging from the current situation, the odds were not high.
For a king or even a Venerable, his speed of escape was too slow. Unless he could escape out of the White Shell Royal City without alerting anyone.
Otherwise, if he was detected, he wouldn’t be able to escape.
Even if he hid in Forge the Universe, it was difficult for him to escape.
After all, would a Venerable give him a chance to enter Forge the Universe?
Furthermore, Han Fei actually didn’t want to escape. The island that came out of the Wall of Death probably had a lot of opportunities. Otherwise, why would the three parties send out so many top geniuses?
While Han Fei was racking his brain, the old turtle suddenly said, “Theoretically speaking, you’re still cultivating on the Cloud Sea Divine Tree.”
“Huh?”
Han Fei was about to say something, but then he realized what he meant.
Yes! He was playing the role of the Fish Dragon King, and the name Han Fei had disappeared for more than half a year. Since he transcended the tribulation in the Dark War Port, he had never appeared again.
What would he do if he were Queen Life?
In this kind of battle where almost all the geniuses were deployed, he had already broken through to the Dao Seeking realm, but he was still among the people sent out. This meant that the selection of personnel was approved.
If he speculated based on this, Queen Life probably really wanted the real him to appear on this battlefield. At that time, he could appear openly.
Its purpose was obvious. It was to cheat the sea demons and make it easy for him to escape from the White Shell Royal City.
Han Fei couldn’t help sighing. “Do all kings hide their schemes so well? Isn’t she afraid that I don’t understand what she means?”
The old turtle snorted. “Don’t celebrate too early. If that place doesn’t have a place to hide and is completely exposed to the vision of all the Venerables and kings, it won’t be easy for her to rescue you.”
Han Fei grinned. “It doesn’t matter. As long as she has a backup plan, I’ll have a way out.”
Just when Han Fei was relieved, he thought to himself, Are Yu Cailing and Lan Xue’er back?
Han Fei’s thoughts immediately changed. It wasn’t easy for him to enter the White Shell Royal City. Would he just wave his sleeves without taking away anything?
Han Fei said, “Old Yuan, the king of the White Shell Royal City is already injured. He won’t spy on us, will he?”
The old turtle said, “Oh! That king? He doesn’t seem to be in the city at this moment.”
Han Fei was surprised. “Huh? How do you know that?”
The old turtle said leisurely, “Well, although I haven’t recovered my strength and my current strength is less than one billionth of my former strength, I still have my ways. The strong can see the secrets of the heavens, especially what happened to the king. Unless the kings deliberately hid it, it’s not difficult to detect. It seems that two days ago, the king’s aura disappeared, which means that something very likely happened.”
Han Fei nodded. That’s good! Without the king, no one can see what happened here.
Han Fei suddenly shouted, “Yu Cailing, Lan Xue’er, come here.”
Yu Cailing and Lan Xue’er, who had just gone out to exchange for supplies, looked at each other in panic.
Especially Yu Cailing, the Fish Dragon King had been ignoring them before because he was too occupied to talk to them.
Now, the Fish Dragon King’s injuries should have been healed, and the two of them were nominally followers of the Fish Dragon King. Therefore, no matter what the Fish Dragon King did to the two of them, no one would say anything, and even everyone would think it was justified.
Lan Xue’er’s eyes widened, she secretly gritted her teeth, and said via voice transmission, “It’s over. Does he want to eat two of us at the same time?”
Yu Cailing’s heart trembled slightly. Really? She used to be a dazzling Heavenly Talent, but why had she become such a plaything here?
But no matter how the Fish Dragon King treated them, they had to abide by his rules. Therefore, they could only bite the bullet and walk to the Fish Dragon King’s room.
Han Fei would’ve vomited blood if he knew what the two of them were thinking. What are you thinking of? You really think too highly of yourselves!
The old turtle was at the door, expressionlessly welcoming them into the house.
Even though there were array seals around, Han Fei still set up layers of arrays.
This was the first time the two of them had entered the cultivation room of the Fish Dragon King.
They thought to themselves, Isn’t this room too simply-decorated? Besides, what the hell is this throne? And what the hell is the dragon on the wall?
However, the two of them didn’t dare to show any strange expression but just respectfully said, “Master Dragon King.”
“Um!”
Han Fei hummed proudly as if it was only natural that these two people respected him so much.
Han Fei stared at them for more than ten seconds, and when the two of them felt as if they had been skinned, Han Fei said, “I promised to take you to the Royal City, and I promised to take care of you. I won’t go back on my word. But…”
Seeing that both of them trembled slightly, Han Fei thought to himself, I haven’t even said anything yet. Why are you shivering? Am I so scary?
Han Fei said, “There is no free lunch in this world. Although you two are the most valued talents in the Ice God Strait, since you have received my protection, in a sense, you two are mine.”
Buzz!
Yu Cailing and Lan Xue’er shivered again, and Yu Cailing even blushed. She lowered her head and bit her lips, which stunned Han Fei.
What kind of expression is that? Why do you look as if I want something from you?
As if realizing that the meaning behind his words might cause a misunderstanding, Han Fei immediately said coldly, “I won’t accept anyone randomly, nor will I take care of anyone eaily. Since you have received my protection, you can serve me as your master. From now on, whether in the White Shell Royal City or the Ice God Strait, I am your master.”
Yu Cailing and Lan Xue’er raised their heads in surprise. Although we live under your roof, when did we acknowledge you as our master? Although we are not talented, why should we acknowledge you as our master?
Han Fei smiled contemptuously and said mockingly, “Do you think I’m not qualified enough? I’m not afraid to tell you the truth. If it weren’t for the fact that I have too many enemies, how can you become my servants with your qualifications? That’s wishful thinking. Now, I’ll give you this chance, a chance to enter the Dao and become a Venerable. Whether you want it or not depends on you.”
As he spoke, two jade slips appeared in Han Fei’s hand.
Under the shocked gaze of the two, Han Fei smiled. “Everyone knows that I have a great opportunity, but no one knows how great my opportunity is!”
Han Fei weighed the two techniques in his hand and said, “These are two Great Dao techniques. Although the probability of becoming a king is not high, it is not impossible to become a Venerable or even become a peak-level Venerable in the future.”
Lan Xue’er was stunned. Yu Cailing, on the other hand, calmed down and said, “Master Dragon King, our talents are mediocre. What does Master Dragon King like about us? Why did he give us such a precious treasure?”
Han Fei smiled contemptuously. “Everyone has his value. A Venerable is much more valuable than a Heavenly Talent. I know you want to survive the trial in the White Shell Royal City, to rise quickly, and to stand out among the hundred thousand powerhouses. But if you don’t pay a price, who will give you this opportunity?”
Yu Cailing couldn’t help but raise her head and look at Han Fei. “I wonder what the Dragon King wants us to pay?”
Han Fei smiled and said casually, “Soul.”
