Chapter 1469: Chapter 1458: Negotiating Terms, Repairing the Transmission Array_1 Chapter 1469: Chapter 1458: Negotiating Terms, Repairing the Transmission Array_1 “Wonderful.”
The old woman was overjoyed, she laughed heartily with her face up to the sky, “The old woman has finally waited for this day. The restoration of the transmission array is in sight. We can ascend to the Spirit Realm.”
“Dear old lady.”
A suggestive glint flashed in Lin Qingluo's eyes: “If I am to repair the transmission array for you, I need to see that you are sincere as well.”
“Of course.”
The old woman reassured solemnly, “Just say what you want, as long as I have it, I will give it to you willingly.”
“Rare treasures are secondary.”
Lin Qingluo had a calculated look in her eyes, “The most important thing right now is to undo the Heart Demon Oath of my sister-in-law and announce to the entire Cultivation World a grand matrimonial ceremony held in the Everlasting Palace for my second brother and sister-in-law.”
“Err.”
The old woman hadn't expected such a claim. She was taken aback, “According to the rules of the Everlasting Palace, the Saintess cannot get married.”
“If it's not possible, then forget it.”
Lin Qingluo scoffed coldly and casually tossed the bamboo slip downwards onto the platform.
“It's possible, I agree.”
The grey-clothed elder was startled. Without a second thought, he swung his hand and lashed out a soft whip, wrapping up the bamboo slip and pulling it back.
“Old Man Lai, you….”
The corner of the old woman's mouth twitched as she stared at him in bewilderment.
“Our time is running out, we only have two more years to live, yet you still don't understand.”
The grey-clothed elder felt helpless. He rolled his eyes while holding the bamboo slip in his hand.
The old woman still had reservations, “The Saintess has an important mission. How could she….”
“About the Cold Pond.”
Lin Qingluo's face hardened, interrupting her, “I have something to discuss with you.”
“Please proceed.”
The old woman and the grey-clothed elder looked at her in unison after composing themselves.
“Look at these cracks.”
Lin Qingluo looked down and pointed at the two profound cracks at the edge of the platform, her eyes full of seriousness.
“If I am not mistaken, these cracks are likely caused by the intense shockwaves from the activation of the transmission array. The reason for the cracks is nothing but an unstable foundation.”
“In other words, the island hovers in midair by a formation which is not very stable, and therefore cannot bear the heavy blow, leading to cracks.”
“Girl, based on what you said,”
The old woman's heart fluttered, “If the island hovers in midair, the transmission array cannot be activated?”
“It can be activated.”
Lin Qingluo's face was solemn, “But only once, and at a great cost. The violent shockwaves are highly likely to destroy everything on the island, including the main hall of the Everlasting Palace.”
“Ah?”
The old woman gasped suddenly, “How could this be?”
“If you do not believe me, you can check the ancient scrolls.”
Lin Qingluo said emphatically, “Wondering why the Everlasting Palace main hall is not an ordinary building, but a large space magic weapon? My guess is that it has something to do with the shockwaves.”
“If the island no longer hovers in midair,”
The grey-clothed elder asked subconsciously, “Will activating the transmission array not cause damage?”
Lin Qingluo nodded, “Exactly.”
The grey-clothed elder's eyes were sharp as he asked solemnly, “What certainty do you have?”
“Eighty percent.”
The look on Lin Qingluo's face was calm and composed.
After staring at her for a few seconds, the grey-clothed elder slowly withdrew his gaze, “We will give this serious consideration as this is no small matter.”
“Alright.”
Lin Qingluo nodded, her lips curling into a shallow smile, “I have more important things to do. I hope we won't waste each other's time. I will give you a day to consider. In a day, I want a definitive answer.”
“One day?”
A look of surprise flickered in the eyes of the grey-clothed elder. After glimpsing the old woman who was still hesitant, a touch of resolution flashed in his eyes, “Okay, we agree to your terms.”
