"Hehe! You didn't expect it, did you? This is what you Chinese people call 'while the mantis stalks the cicada, it's unaware of the oriole behind'!" Osnur chuckled. "So? Are you going to be captured or are you going to inflate your ego and resist for a bit?"
He was no match for him after all. Even if Chen Xiaobei did struggle, it would only serve a symbolic purpose, and nothing else. It would not serve any substantial purpose.
With his hands waving nervously. He had nothing to negate his opponent's words.
His most powerful trump card was the Blood God's Deity Killing painting but he only had 20,000 Spiritual Stones left. It was simply not enough to power up the Divine Instrument!
Also, there were only 48 Blood God's Illusions in the painting. He did not have the 10,000 spirits that was needed to kill a demigod. Either way, he could not beat Osnur.
He did have a nuclear missile that could kill a demi-god though. The problem was that if he used it, the Chinese people in the nearby Dragon City would have to die too.
In fact, Chen Xiaobei himself would not be able to survive it either!
His Ultimate Protective Puppet could rebuff the impact of a nuclear explosion, but the temperature of the radiation would be higher than sun's core, and was enough to turn him into dust!
Chen Xiaobei was at an impasse. He could not use the Blood God's Deity Killing painting nor the nuclear missile.
Demigods were still out of Chen Xiaobei's league.
There was no way he could fight them!
"Who are you? Why do you want me?"
Chen Xiaobei figured that he could buy himself more time, and see if anything changed.
"Hehe… since you won't be able to escape me an time soon, I'll be generous and I'll tell you!" Osnur said proudly. "I am Osnur, the demigod that the American president serves. I came here today to capture you and use your life in exchange for Professor Lin's research! If the Chinese government cares enough for you, they might even hand over Professor Lin as well! You can only blame your bad luck for this! The President was in Europe for a press conference yesterday, and he was getting ready to fly to Japan in the afternoon. We were just passing by Dragon City, so I figured I should just come down and take a look!"
Chen Xiaobei could feel his heart beating in his ears.
It was not easy to have survived the damnation which had just taken place. Now he was haunted by another catastrophe? Why was he so unlucky?
Could it be that curse from Ji Xiong?
"Why aren't you speaking? Is it because you're scared? Are you terrified?" Osnur smiled coolly. "Be a good lamb and follow me. There's no need to try and fight back. You're only wasting time!"
"Scared? The one who should be afraid should be you." Chen Xiaobei was flipping inside. But with his excellent acting skills, he appeared to be very calm and composed.
If Chen Xiaobei showed even the slightest hint of fear before his enemies, his opponent would attack him with no hesitation!
Alternatively, if Chen Xiaobei remained unperturbed, the enemies might start to become suspicious and not reveal their trump cards sooner.
Sure enough, Osnur grew suspicious. "Huh, from the way you talk, it sounds like you have a secret weapon that you haven't yet taken out."
"Secret weapon?" Chen Xiaobei himself was stunned for a moment before a light bulb lit up in his mind. "Of course, I do! I want to crush you even if you're a demigod!"
"Hmm?" Doubt began to set into Osnur's mind.
Normally, Osnur would not have believed this sort of statement.
But this was Chen Xiaobei. Osnur could not help but begin to wonder.
After all, Blood God's Deity Killing painting's power was still imprinted in his mind. Osnur could not guarantee that Chen Xiaobei did not have any other Divine Instruments up his sleeve!
If he really did have a secret weapon, then Osnur would fail this mission miserably.
"Get the hell out of here, or I will make sure that nothing is left of you!"
With a flick of his wrist, Chen Xiaobei retrieved a green gourd from the Infinite Space Ring.
The gourd had a golden glow about it, and covered in an iridescent halo. It was nothing that Osnur had ever seen before.
"What is that?" Osnur took three steps backwards, eyeing Chen Xiaobei cautiously.
One look and Osnur could tell that this was a rare item that was not from earth. Unable to determine for sure what it was, Osnur could only retreat.
"Osnur! Would you say yes if I ask something of you?"
Chen Xiaobei pointed the mouth of the gourd at Osnur, a sinister smile playing on his lips.
Osnur stammered, "What do you mean?"
Chen Xiaobei smiled. "Have you watched 'Journey to the West'? The Silver Horned King had a golden purple gourd. If he shouts out his enemy's name, and the enemy said yes to it. The person would be absorbed into the gourd and die being dissolved into a liquid!"
"Huh? Journey to the West?" Osnur spat, "Do I look like a child you? Why don't you just say that you're god?"
"You don't believe me? Then try and respond to me and see!" Chen Xiaobei shouted, "Osnur! I'm calling out to you. Are you brave enough to say yes?"
"I…I don't believe in this kind of rubbish! These are things of fairytales! There's no such thing!" Osnur took in a deep breath and shouted, "I am! Osnur, am here!"
"Huh?" Chen Xiaobei suddenly looked nervous.
Because the Verdant Emperor Gourd did not have the golden purple gourd's Special Ability, nothing was going to happen to Osnur.
"You fool! Still trying to trick me eh? You really are so stupid! Hahaha!"
"Osnur! I'm calling out to you! Are you brave enough to say yes?" Chen Xiaobei knew that it was useless but he still continued to ask the question.
"I am here!" Osnur shouted back, unafraid.
"Osnur! Are you brave enough to say yes?" Chen Xiaobei asked again.
"Why not? Even if you ask me a thousand times, I will say yes!" Osnur said haughtily.
From what he could tell, the gourd Chen Xiaobei was holding was just a piece of rubbish, completely useless.
"Osnur! I want to keep you inside the Verdant Emperor Divine Gourd. Are you brave enough to say yes?
Chen Xiaobei made some changes to the question.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Why won't I? Hahaha!" Osnur laughed, amused.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, Osnur's body shrunk and he was sucked into the Verdant Emperor Divine Gourd.
"Wow! It worked!"
Chen Xiaobei quickly capped the gourd, a delighted smile spread across his crafty face.
"What stupid demigod was that?! He's nothing but an an idiot! Hahaha!" Chen Xiaobei laughed so hard he nearly teared up.
He thought it was going to be his doom. He never thought that it would be over just like that.
Of course, all credit went to the Three Realms Red Envelope group.
If Chen Xiaobei had not won the Go competition in the first place, he would not have gotten the Verdant Emperor's Divine Gourd. Now, he just might have a chance at escaping this catastrophe!
Inside the Verdant Emperor Divine Gourd was a vast space. As long as the other party agreed, they would be sucked into the space.
The unsuspecting Osnur had fallen into Chen Xiaobei's trap.
Verdant Emperor Divine Gourd was a Three-star Divine Item. Once the person was kept inside, only the owner, which in this case was Chen Xiaobei, could release them.
"Let me take a look at his idiot!" Chen Xiaobei said, a big smile on his face as he held the gourd in one hand and began to make a Spiritual Connection with it.
The insides of the gourd was projected into Chen Xiaobei's mind.
"Trickster!!!" Osnur thundered, a pained look on his face.
He was a demigod! He was the elite of elites here on earth. He was supposed to be able to defeat Chen Xiaobei without having to lift a finger, but before he could even attack, he found himself sucked into a gourd by this Chen Xiaobei!
Never in his life had he ever made such a dumb mistake. And the first time he made such a mistake, he fell into Chen Xiaobei's trap! How irritating!
"Trickster? I guess you really don't plan to get out huh?"
Chen Xiaobei directed his voice into the gourd.
"Chen Xiaobei? Is that you? Are you talking?" Osnur looked around him cautiously.
But he did not see Chen Xiaobei anywhere. There was only an empty space.
"If not me then who else?" Chen Xiaobei asked back.
"What have you done to me? Where is this place?" Osnur asked nervously.
"I don't feel like answering your question." Chen Xiaobei shrugged. "You just need to get ready to spend the rest of your life in here as my captive!"
"Captive?! No! I don't want to!" Osnur was shaking uncontrollably. "Mr. Chen! Mr. Chen! Please release me! If you let me go, I will do whatever you want! I swear!"
"Hehe! Let you go? Do you think I'm stupid enough to do that? If you get out, you will definitely kill me!"
"No, I won't. I would never! I swear in the name of god! Please let me go. I will not repay your kindness with revenge! In fact, I am willing to agree to any of your requests!"
"Alright, since you seem so sincere, I'll give you on chance!" Chen Xiaobei took out the final piece of Heavenly Dog Biscuit from the Infinite Space Ring and put it into the Verdant Emperor Divine Gourd.
"Mr. Chen, what is this?" Osnur eyed the dog treat that was floating towards him.
"That's not your concern. Just eat it, and I'll release you immediately!" Chen Xiaobei chuckled to himself.
If Osnur ate the biscuit, Chen Xiaobei will have a demigod as his loyal hound!
Just thinking about it made Chen Xiaobei want to break into a dance!
He had thought that Osnur was the damnation from the skies, but this son of a bitch turned out to be a grand present from the heavens!
If Osnur ate the Heavenly Dog Biscuit, Chen Xiaobei's future would surely be smoth-sailing!
But things did not pan out as he had thought they would.
Osnur refused to eat the biscuit. "I won't eat it! This is poison! I will not eat it!"
"I have already given you a chance. Whether to eat it or not, it's up to you to decide! If you want to be in captivity forever, then so be it!"
Osnur did what most people would have done. As a powerful demigod, his ego was bigger than most people. He would not be that easily convinced.
Luckily for Chen Xiaobei, Osnur did not have way to escape. After a while of being trapped inside, Osnur would surely concede.
Chen Xiaobei will have this loyal hound!
"Oh, hey, you mentioned earlier that the American president's jet was passing by Dragon City, right?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"Yeah! What are you going to do?"
"Heh, I'm afraid that you'll feel lonely inside here, so I'm going to get the president so that he can keep you company!"
Chen Xiaobei had summoned his Somersault Cloud.
He climbed into the cloud and flew straight to the skies.
On Air Force One.
The President was getting angsty. "Look at the time. Osnur should be successful, right? Should we give him a call?"
An official next to shake his head. "I don't think so. Master demigod would have called us and reported the good news himself. Let's be patient and wait for a little bit longer. I don't think he will be in any trouble at all! I mean, he's a demigod right?!"
"You're right!" The President nodded. "Osnur has been by my side for so many years and all this time, I've never seen him make a mistake. Once he acts upon it, he will never allow any failure to obstruct him!"
"Huh?" The official suddenly asked. "Mr. President, did you hear someone knocking at the door?"
"Knock? Are you insane?! We're flying on a plane!"
Just as the president said that, a loud banging sound came from the door.
"What… the hell is happening?" The president looked like he had just swallowed a stone. "Security! Go check the door!"
"Yes!"
A few security guards ran to the door.
Bang!
When they reached the cabin door, the thick, strong hatch was kicked in and knocked the guards were knocked unconscious.
The visitor was not knocking the on the door, but kicking it.
"What the hell?"
The rest of the crew gawped at a silhouette of a person stepping off a cloud and into the cabin. The person then grabbed the president by the collar and bolted out of the plane with him.
The whole process took less than three seconds.
No one saw who the person was.
The cabin crew and the officials stared at the gaping hole for about half a minute before they regained their senses and screamed, "No! The President has been kidnapped!"
"Oh my god… Why am I flying in the sky?"
The U.S President was literally squealing like a pig that was about to be slaughtered. Seconds ago, he could feel someone snatching at his shirt collar and seconds later, he found himself flying high up in the sky. All he could see were clouds around him and the buildings on the ground getting smaller and smaller. it was with no doubt that this had gave him a good scare.
"Stop screaming! I have no intention to let you go!" said Chen Xiaobei with a scowl.
"You… You are Chen Xiaobei… I thought I've assigned Osnur to capture you?! How… How could you be here?" asked in the U.S President in a completely shocked manner.
"Hehe… that Oscur idiot has been captured by me! Let me bring you to meet him right now!" said Chen Xiaobei with a crafty smile on his face.
"What? You have managed to capture the demigod? You… You've got to be kidding me…"
The President was having a hard time believing that Chen Xiaobei was powerful enough to capture a demigod.
"You will soon know whether I'm kidding you or not!"
With one his hand grasping on the helpless U.S President's shirt collar, Chen Xiaobei took out the Verdant Emperor's Divine Gourd with his another hand.
"What the hell is that?"
"I'm going to capture you inside this gourd! What do you think?"
"What?! No! Of course I'm not going to agree to that!"
The truth was the U.S President actually did not know what the gourd could do. However, when he knew that Chen Xiaobei was his enemy, he came to his senses that this gourd was not something good.
"You reply is disappointing!"
"Mr. Chen… I think we should really and sit down and talk about this? All the bad things that happened between us can be resolved through proper negotiation! It doesn't have to end like this! What do you think?"
"I can easily mess with you! However, it's extremely hard to you to mess with me! So, whatever deal you want to make with me, you can do that in your dreams!"
"Mr. Chen! Don't let your arrogance blind you from seeing the bigger picture! I'm the U.S President! And my country is the most powerful country in this world! We have the most powerful army and the most advanced weapons! If you kill me, the next president will launch an all-out war with China! You can run from it but your motherland will definitely suffer a great deal from the war! In the end, your country will have to let us conquer a large scale of land to stop the war! I know that you are a patriot and you have served your country well! I don't think you will bring war to your country just because you hate me!"
After all, it was the U.S President that Chen Xiaobei was dealing with. It was only normal that he could keep calm in such critical moment. The thing that he just told Chen Xiaobei actually made perfect sense. Others would have sat down to make a deal with him.
However!
He was dealing with Chen Xiaobei!
"I don't think anyone saw my face when I stormed your airplane just now! Only the gods would know that I'm the one who killed you!"
With a smile on his face, Chen Xiaobei let go of the U.S President.
"Ah!!!"
Again, the U.S President squealed like a pig. He never thought that everything that he had just told Chen Xiaobei was completely useless. Dropping from thousands of feet so high up in the sky, a mortal being like the U.S President would definitely turn into a pile of dead meat the moment he landed on the ground.
"I'm going to ask you one last time! Are you willing to get into my gourd?!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
While he was free falling, the fear of death almost made him pee in his pants.
Swoosh!
Right after he said yes to Chen Xiaobei, his body started to become smaller and smaller until he turned into the size of a worm. Then, a powerful force sucked him into the Verdant Emperor's Divine Gourd.
"Done! Osnur can be my loyal hound, and when I travel to America, I will make the U.S President open up the nuclear weapon's vault for me and I will rob everything inside it!"
Clearly, the only reason why Chen Xiaobei decided to keep the U.S President alive was because he knew that he could get something out of him. With that being said, Chen Xiaobei had just extorted himself a fruitful yield!
…
Finally, the trouble was over. Though he managed to make the problem to go away, he still decided to move Bei Xuan Faction from Dragon City. He first flew to Tidal Faction to fetch Lin Xiang and Lin Nan to the new place.
Until Lin Xiang achieved Celestial cultivation, she would stop at nothing. The rich Spiritual Qi at the new place was exactly what she needed most right now. After going through so many things, Lin Nan knew that it was crucial for her to become more powerful as well. Besides, NeZha and Hong Hai'er had already gone to the new place. With that being said, the three-people-celebrity group was officially over. It was meaningless for Lin Nan to continue to stay on earth alone.
As for Professor Lin, he was protected by the government. His safety should not be a problem on earth. After that, Chen Xiaobei went to pick up Song Qincheng and Wenyuan. Of course, they were more than willing to go with him.
Then, Chen Xiaobei went to pick up Xiangyu as well. He had now officially left Thunder Kirin after he managed to capture Hou Sailei. He was given a medal before he took his leave.
After that he decided to make a trip to Green Vine City with Yin Wuqiu. Chen Xiaobei then ordered him to move the entire Hearty Island to the new place! Along with that, all the First Love Peach trees were being moved there as well. Now, he was one step closer to create his desired paradise. Upon remembering that he still had some friends at Green Vine City, Chen Xiaobei went to fetch the Fire Boss and his family. They too immediately said yes to Chen Xiaobei as well because the Fire Boss realized that a better environment would be more beneficial for his child.
As for Jing Fei, Chen Xiaobei had ordered him to stay at Green Vine City to purchase supplies for them from time to time. He even left one Returning Bracelet for him to easily move all the supplies to the new place.
"Alright! Next, I will travel to Eastern Europe to pick up Princess Flatboard and Huo Yuanba! Then, I'm all done!"
Ring…
Chen Xiaobei's cellphone rang. It was Liu Xuanxin calling him.
"Goddess of Luck! What made you think of calling me?" Chen Xiaobei was in a pretty good mood.
"I just visited Bei Xuan Faction and found something on the battlefield,' Liu Xuanxin said.
"What is it?"
"It's a gemstone! A purple one that looks like a crystal but is much harder. I can sense evil presence from it. I'm not sure what it is!"
"Gemstone? Stay there. I will come now!" Chen Xiaobei jumped onto the Somersault Cloud and made his way to Bei Xuan.
Liu Xuanxin was standing next to the Bei Xuan giant stone, her snow-white skirt drifted in the wind like a goddess, holy and magnificent and untainted by the world.
To his disappointment, she was still wearing that white scarf on her face.
"I'm sorry I made you wait!"
"Mm, this is the gemstone!" Liu Xuanxin ignored Chen Xiaobei's plesantries.
She stretched out a fair, demure hand, and revealed a purple gemstone in the center of her palm.
The gem was shaped like a six-pointed star, and was the size of a coin. There was also an aura that Chen Xiaobei was familiar with!
When he saw the gem, Chen Xiaobei could not help but exclaim, "My god! This… This is a Blood Descendant's Dark Neutron!"
"Blood Descendants? Dark Neutron? What is that?" Liu Xuanxin frowned. She did not understand a word that Chen Xiaobei said.
It was fact that there were only a few people who knew about the existence of Dark Neutrons.
"You probably know the Blood Descendants, right?" Chen Xiaobei explained, excited. "Every Family of a Blood Descendant has their own dark power, but only the head of the family has this! This Dark Neutron is the source of the dark power! It's a very precious item! Other than the heads of each family, no one else knows that the Dark Neutron even exists! I have just murdered a Blood Descendent prince. This must be his!"
Liu Xuanxin nodded with uncertainty. "Since it's such a valuable item, it would better if you take it."
"It was you who found it. How could I take it away from you?"
Today's battle was so fierce, that the Dark Neutron did not even cross his mind. If Liu Xuanxin had not called to remind him, Chen Xiaobei would never have even thought about it.
That was why Chen Xiaobei felt that Liu Xuanxin should have had the Dark Neutron.
"I'm giving it to you, so just take it! I remember that you shoved the magical pill on me as well!"
Liu Xuanxin then shoved the neutron into Chen Xiaobei's hand.
Chen Xiaobei was taken aback. "So, are you trying to pay me back the favor?"
"Yes! I don't like owing people any favors. Your pill was magical. I have already broken through to Celestial Cultivation! Consider this gemstone as me returning the favor!"
"Fine, then. Consider all the debts between us cleared." Chen Xiaobei smiled. "But, you really are my Goddess of Luck! If you didn't find it, I wouldn't know that it was here!"
"Save it!" Liu Xuanxin frowned. "Tell me, where is Bei Xuan Faction? Why is there only a rock left?"
"Er…" Chen Xiaobei did not know what to say.
"If it's your secret, you don't need to tell me. But what I want to know is – Is Bei Xuan faction still around?" Liu Xuanxin asked.
"I won't keep any secrets from you. I was just afraid that you wouldn't believe me! I've moved Bei Xuan to another space. It still exists and will continue to exist forever!"
"Forever?" Liu Xuanxin pursed her lips, feeling pleased.
"Of course!" Chen Xiaobei said confidently. "Not only that, but in the future, the name Bei Xuan will be known all throughout the three realms!"
Liu Xuanxin nodded, quietly smiling under her scarf.
Even though what Chen Xiaobei had said sounded like hyperbole, being known throughout earth was already a pretty incredible feat but to be known all throughout all three realms? Liu Xuanxin chose to believe him. It was not belief based on rationality but an inexplainable feeling that caused her to trust Chen Xiaobei unconditionally.
"Oh, by the way, the place where Bei Xuan faction is has an abundance of extremely dense Spiritual Qi's. If you and your family are willing to go, I can bring you there anytime you'd like!" Chen Xiaobei said.
"No, I won't!" Liu Xuanxin shook her head. "I've been so sick the past few years that I could not leave home. Now that I'm cured, I don't want to be entombed in another enclosed space."
"Mm, when you are ready to go, just tell me!" Chen Xiaobei was a little disappointed.
But like Liu Xuanxin said, the secret space was really an enclosed space.
Although it guaranteed the safety of everyone in Bei Xuan, there was a price to pay. They were close to being imprisoned as they could not leave the space whenever they liked.
This was an ending that Chen Xiaobei did not wish to see happen.
He decided in his heart that he would get a firm foothold on the Northern Wilderness Starfield as soon as possible. Then he could use his power and status to give his friends and family the freedom they deserved, and for them to live a respectable life in the Northern Wilderness Starfield.
"What are you thinking about?" Liu Xuanxin asked, concerned.
"Oh, nothing." Chen Xiaobei smiled. "After tomorrow, I might have to leave and I might not come back for a very long time!"
"Where are you going to?"
"Outer space!" Chen Xiaobei answered.
"Oh, please! How old are you? Why are you so childish?" Liu Xuanxin smiled, and then said in a serious voice, "I don't mind where you go just as long as you stay alive!"
Chen Xiaobei felt a warmth fill his heart. "Mm, I will live! You must live a good life too!"
"You are just sweet-talking with me!" Liu Xuanxin began to walk away. Then she stopped in her tracks, and without turning around, she shouted, "It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!" Chen Xiaobei smiled, feeling warm.
After he put his emotions in order, Chen Xiaobei returned to the secret space, and consulted the Blood Descendant's Grand Leader, Gordon.
"Bro Bei, do you need anything?" Gordon asked politely.
"I've got my hands on a new Dark Neutron. Could you tell me what its dark powers are?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"This… This is the Dark Neutron that supposedly belongs to one of the princes!"
Gordon could not believe in what he just saw.
"How did you know that this is the prince's Dark Neutron?" asked Chen Xiaobei in a curious manner.
Other than its color, this Dark Neutron was no different from the Dark Neutron that Chen Xiaobei encountered the last time. However, with only one glance; Gordon managed to differentiate it. This also meant that different tiers of Dark Neutrons carried different levels of abilities.
"From this Dark Neutron, I can sense a king-like aura exuding out from it! In other words, this Dark Neutron is way more powerful than the one you had last time!"
"What kind of ability does this Dark Neutron possess? If I remember correctly, you told me that each Dark Power of every respective Blood Descendant Family are very different from each other!"
"Yes! You are right about that! But, Dark Power has always been a huge secret for all the Blood Descendant's Families. Not even I would know what special ability this Dark Neutron contains! Perhaps I should travel back to the U.S and ask around!"
"It's ok. That's really troublesome! I'm just going to eat this Dark Neutron up! I'm pretty sure I will be able to figure out its special ability after some time!"
"No! Don't do that!"
"Why? I have eaten one before and there were no side effects on me at all!"
"That is exactly the reason! You already have one Dark Neutron in your system! You can never fit a second on inside your body! Legend has it that the Blood Descendant's Dark Power originated from Satan himself, the first demon Lilith, and Lucifer! Every Dark Neutron contains a really nasty curse! It's the rule of thumb that no one should ever put two different Dark Neutrons together in one person! If you do that, your body would explode."
"No way. I have never heard such a rule before! I have spent a great deal of effort to look for this Dark Neutron and now you are telling me that I can't use it? This is really frustrating!"
The previous Dark Neutron that Chen Xiaobei consumed caused him to sleep for seven days and seven nights and his health had increased by 7,000 when he woke up from his deep sleep. Not only that, he even acquired the ability of converting other people's blood essence to combat power! To him, a Dark Neutron was the kind of priceless item that was extremely difficult to come by. Besides, this piece of Dark Neutron was clearly more powerful than the previous one.
"Look… I know you are frustrated about this… but I'm telling you the truth here… In the thousand years of Blood Descendant's history, only the king of the Blood Descendants can take control of nine different types of Dark Powers! Anyone that tried to attempt to take control of two Dark Powers resulted in death! I'm not kidding here!"
"What did you just say? Did you just say that your king can take control of nine different Dark Powers?!"
"Yes. Our king is completely different from us! He defies all logic that we have stood by all this while!"
"If your kind can do it, I feel that others can do it as well! We simply haven't found the right way to do so that's all!"
"I'm not sure about the details as well. But, if you want to know more about it, I can head back to the U.S to do some digging! I have some connections that allow me to gain access to the ancient library of Blood Descendants! I believe that I will be able to find the answer that you want!"
"Alright! Let me bring you back to earth! Do some digging and inform me once you've found something!"
"Yes! I will definitely do my best!"
Chen Xiaobei then activated the Returning Bracelet and brought Gordon back down to earth.
Seconds later, Gordon was back to where Bei Xuan Faction used to be. It was midnight but Chen Xiaobei could not rest yet. He had to use the Somersault Cloud to ferry Gordon to the U.S. However, Chen Xiaobei had no time to participate in the investigation. Right after he dropped Gordon, he travelled to Eastern Europe to fetch Murong Xiaoyao, Huo Yuanba, and Huo Qiaoqiao to the new place.
After that, Chen Xiaobei returned to old address of Bei Xuan Faction. This was because the three ancient factions were about to bring him the 30,000 Spiritual Stones ransom to redeem their faction elders. Before he could realize anything, dawn was about to come. The disciples from three ancient factions had departed to Bei Xuan Faction last night. By right, they should have arrived at Bei Xuan Faction by now.
With the 30,000 Spiritual Stones, Chen Xiaobei would be allowed to use the ability of Blood God's Deity Killing painting once again.
"Bro Bei!"
After waiting there for some time, the disciples of one of the ancient factions were finally here. To Chen Xiaobei's surprise, the person that Kunlun Faction assigned to deliver the Spiritual Stones was Zhuo Qunfeng.
"Eh? Why are you here?" asked Chen Xiaobei.
Kunlun Faction was the most powerful ancient faction amongst all three factions. Naturally, they were supposed to be the wealthiest and the one that was least willing to fulfil Chen Xiaobei's demands. That was why he never expected that they would be the first ones to arrive.
"Long story. Bro Bei, you should count the Spiritual Stones first. There are 10,000 of it here." Said Zhuo Qunfeng while pointing at the boxes behind him.
Immediately, a dozen Kunlun disciples opened all 10 boxes that they carried with them. Chen Xiaobei could see that they were filled with Spiritual Stones.
Swoosh…
Chen Xiaobei swung his arm and all the Spiritual Stones were absorbed into his Infinite Space Ring.
"There's no need to count. I trust you…"
Every single Kunlun disciples were in shock when they saw Chen Xiaobei storing all the Spiritual Stones inside his Infinite Space Ring. They had never seen something like this before.
"Bro Bei, can we talk in private?" asked Zhou Qunfeng in a calmed manner.
After that, the two of them walked to a secured spot.
"Just now, you asked me that why am I here first. That's because our faction leader is doing some training and no one is allowed to disturb him! All the other elders were worried that you might flatten Kunlun Faction! That was why they asked me to send these Spiritual Stones to you ASAP!"
Clearly, the Blood God's Deity Killing painting had managed to put fear in his enemies. Without the help of a demigod, not even a powerful ancient faction like Kunlun dared to challenge Chen Xiaobei's patience.
"It seems like you still have something that you want to tell me."
"Once our faction leader completes his training, he would definitely come to kill you! You had best prepare for it!"
"A demigod will come and kill me? Maybe, by that time, I will not be afraid of him!"
"What?!"
Zhuo Qunfeng was completely taken aback.
