Chapter 789: Blood Sacrifice of a City, Picking Fruits on the Side
Chapter 789: Blood Sacrifice of a City, Picking Fruits on the Side
As ‘Gong Kang’s’ self-doubt deepened, Qin Muye felt that even if the man didn’t have mental issues, he was about to develop them under this continuous stimulation.
The city was already enveloped in a blood-red mist, a fog that could not be dispelled.
"Success, finally, the bottleneck that has plagued me all my life, the Great Law Golden Immortal realm."
Prince Yi’s voice was filled with joy, his excitement evident on his plump body.
From what Qin Muye could see, the man almost seemed to be floating.
However, Qin Muye knew that this was just Prince Yi’s act. With his current strength, how could he not control his appearance? This unkempt look was merely a disguise to mislead others.
First impressions were crucial, and Prince Yi didn’t care about his image, using it as a layer of deception.
In any era, appearance mattered. Qin Muye, for instance, couldn’t rely on charm due to his looks and had to rely solely on his raw strength.
"Great Law."
"Cough, well, it’s about who gets here first. I reserved this thing a while ago," Qin Muye said.
In an instant, Prince Yi reacted, a longsword bursting from his mind and stabbing directly at Qin Muye.
But it had no effect on Qin Muye.
"Red Dust Dao’s Wisdom Sword, you’re quite talented. I thought your spirit beast was of the Divine Soul Dao," Qin Muye pinched the sword light, seemingly indifferent.
The Wisdom Sword itself was similar to the Divine Soul Dao, so mistaking it was quite normal. Moreover, Prince Yi’s Wisdom Sword was different from Fan Hua’s, which was a translucent flying sword, while Prince Yi’s was a black sword light.
Each Wisdom Sword was unique, just like each person was different.
"It seems my grandson was talking to you earlier," Prince Yi said casually, but in reality, he was extremely wary and cautious.
From the previous encounter, he could confirm that the person in front of him was definitely a Great Law Golden Immortal.
Otherwise, how could he have stood there for so long without being detected?
"Are you serious?" ‘Gong Kang’ widened his eyes and said somewhat crazily, "You were lying to me just now!!!"
"Of course, I was lying to you. I’m not your parents; why should I indulge you," Qin Muye didn’t bother with Prince Yi and spoke earnestly to the soon-to-be-departed ‘Gong Kang’.
Hearing Qin Muye’s words, ‘Gong Kang’ felt his blood rush to his head, and his mental state began to collapse.
He had already endured too much today, more than he could bear.
"Senior, you may not know, but this blood sacrifice is only to help me ascend from the peak of the Golden Immortal realm to the Great Law Golden Immortal realm. It is of no use to you," Prince Yi said solemnly. Although he didn’t know why Qin Muye was targeting the blood sacrifice, he still explained its purpose.
The other party had come here with a purpose.
"I know, but I had no choice. Some things are beyond my control," Qin Muye sighed, indicating his innocence and suggesting that any issues should be blamed on his true self.
Upon hearing this, Prince Yi’s expression turned grim, not because Qin Muye was here to ruin his plans, but because it seemed someone had sent him.
His mind raced through the names of his siblings, finally settling on the figure of his father, who was high above.
If anyone could command a Great Law Golden Immortal, it could only be the Spirit Emperor, who was already a Primordial Great Law Golden Immortal.
"It’s my father, isn’t it?" Prince Yi said immediately.
"Ha ha ha~" ‘Gong Kang’ laughed arrogantly, especially after Prince Yi’s words. He had been manipulated by his grandfather, and his grandfather had been manipulated by his great-grandfather, the royal family was always full of such intrigues.
"Ah, you could say that," Qin Muye thought that since the other party had already pieced it together, it would be awkward not to confirm it. Besides, the Spirit Emperor could take the blame.
"I wonder what my father has promised you, Senior. Perhaps you could tell me, and I might offer a better deal," Prince Yi wasn’t foolish and wouldn’t just offer double, because double wasn’t enough.
The Spirit Emperor’s power was absolute, with the authority to give and take life.
So, he could only try to negotiate.
"My life, what could be more valuable than my own life?"
Qin Muye spoke cooperatively, but his gaze never left the altar.
The blood sacrifice was down to the final step: the feedback. It was still in the process of forming, requiring just a little more time, which would be the duration of their negotiation.
"Expected. I can't match the price," Prince Yi said very frankly. Facing Qin Muye, he couldn't play any tricks, as it would be meaningless; the other party could easily read his mind.
"So, you can only talk to the Spirit Emperor. If he lets me off, I'll stop immediately. If not, there's nothing I can do." Qin Muye spread his hands, indicating that it was all the Spirit Emperor's fault and had nothing to do with him.
"Can't we negotiate a bit more?" Prince Yi still spoke up.
"I've already said, if you can offer something more valuable than my life, I'll leave immediately." Qin Muye wondered why the kid still hadn't given up.
From the look on the other's face, he definitely wouldn't give up.
To avoid any unexpected turns, Qin Muye decided to act first.
"Hmm~ I just remembered, it's not entirely non-negotiable." Qin Muye suddenly changed his tune.
This behavior didn't make Prince Yi relax at all; instead, he was on high alert, ready to act.
Then,
Bang!
A sound echoed, and Qin Muye had already moved behind Prince Yi, striking him with the Mirror of Immortals.
The immense force sent Prince Yi crashing into the ground, leaving only a crater.
"He should be out for three to five days, I guess." Qin Muye wasn't sure about the exact duration of the blow's effect, whether it would be three days or five.
"Cough, don't worry, I didn't kill him. You two can still have a father-son-grandson reunion later." Qin Muye said to the shocked 'Gong Kang.'
"I'm a good person!"
After some thought, Qin Muye reiterated his identity to 'Gong Kang.'
From the look on 'Gong Kang's' face, he seemed to not believe Qin Muye at all.
"You're not really sent by the Spirit Emperor, are you?"
The immobilized 'Gong Kang' suddenly said.
Qin Muye touched his cheek, asking with some confusion, "Where did I slip up?"
"Nowhere, I just wanted to test you." 'Gong Kang' smiled and then said, "I'm about to die. Can you help me?"
"Send you off? No problem, just tell me how you want to die." Qin Muye indicated he had no issues.
"I want to die with my Grandfather, Prince Yi." 'Gong Kang' said.
"You're asking for two things now. Okay, what can you offer me?" Qin Muye immediately asked for a favor, unwilling to do anything without a benefit.
"I can speed up the blood sacrifice ritual." As 'Gong Kang' spoke, the blood-red mist began to coalesce faster.
Soon, a golden glow appeared within the blood-red mist. As the glow grew, the blood-red mist shrank, as if being compressed into the golden light.
"What do you say, help me kill Prince Yi first." 'Gong Kang' proposed his offer.
"Of course, no problem. But we need to trade. Once you complete it, I'll send your grandfather on his way." Qin Muye said.
This 'Gong Kang' was using a trick. Each prince bore the Spirit Emperor's mark, so if they died, the Spirit Emperor would sense it and arrive immediately, giving 'Gong Kang' a chance to survive.
Qin Muye saw through this and thus spoke as he did.
"It's a deal!" 'Gong Kang' gritted his teeth but didn't show his frustration. This was a gamble; if he won, he would live; if he lost, he would die. Though he was unwilling, he had no other choice.
When all the blood-red mist condensed into a drop of golden light, Qin Muye reached out and grasped it. 'Gong Kang' lost his value and struggled to roll off the altar, crawling toward the door.
'So, how do I use this thing?' Qin Muye thought, considering whether to swallow and assimilate it or if there was another method. His true self hadn't given any clear instructions.
In the end, he could only swallow it and see what happened.
