Chapter 525
The reason was simple. White jade City had sent an emissary to the Supreme power conference, so she would definitely come to the Yan capital.
Of course, even so, it was difficult for Shen Lang’s forces to contact the messenger of white jade City as she was very elusive. However, white jade City also had a base in the eastern world. There was an icy pyramid on the top of the northern Snow Mountain, which was white jade city’s base.
However, most of the time, these ice pyramids were completely empty, with no one inside.
Therefore, Shen lang used three methods to contact the messenger from white jade City. A few of them went to the ice pyramid in the snow Mountain in the North, and some of the spies from the Black Mirror division secretly went to the Yan capital. Shen lang also contacted Zuo Ci and asked him to tell the messenger from white jade City that Shen lang wanted to make a big deal with white jade City.
According to Shen Lang’s calculations, the messenger from white jade City should have arrived. Why was he still not here? Shen lang understood that they were acting cool because they did not like to appear in the dark.
Ying wuque replied coldly, ” alright then. Let’s wait. I’ll give you four hours. If the White jade City Messenger doesn’t come to protect you, I’ll have to cut off two of your fingers.
Ying Guang, the Lord of stupa mountain, and the princess of stupa mountain didn’t express any opinion. It was as if they were silently agreeing with Ying wuque’s words.
Then, everyone fell into silence and waited.
An hour passed, then an hour.
The messenger from white jade City still had not arrived. Shen Lang’s eyebrows twitched.
“Shen lang, you’re already anxious?” Ying wuque coldly laughed,”Who Do You Think You Are?” If white jade City was willing to protect and save you, you wouldn’t have ended up like this. You wouldn’t have had to run away like a stray dog three years ago.”
Shen lang looked at him indifferently. where is my home? ” It should be in Qianjing city, but it’s been occupied by you Ying father and son. Without my grandfather, you, Ying Guang, would have long starved to death on the roadside. How could you still have the glory, splendor, and wealth after that?
In this world, there shouldn’t be a single person who could betray their master more than your Ying clan, right? not only did you betray your master to survive, you even killed the entire family of your master, who was indebted to you.
Shen lang, don’t wait anymore. It’s meaningless. Ying wuque sneered. you have no weight in white jade city’s heart. You keep saying that you’re the grandson of white jade City, but to a certain extent, the Empress Dowager is still your grandaunt. Will the great Yan Empire show you any mercy? ” The Emperor of Dayan and Jiang Li were cousins? Did he spare Jiang Li back then?”
“Shen lang, you’re nothing. You’re as light as a feather in white jade city’s eyes. Don’t fantasize anymore, just watch as I cut off your two fingers.”
And at this moment!
“Master, master, it’s snowing outside!”
They were in the South and it was still a hot summer. Moreover, it wasn’t just a fake snowflake that Ying wuque had created in a small corner. It was really snowing in the sky.
Ying Guang, the master of stupa mountain, Ying wuque, and the others trembled slightly. The envoy from white jade City had really come?
Furthermore, she had really found this secret underground city. Could it be that stupa mountain really had no secrets in front of white jade City?
“Let’s go and welcome them,” the master of stupa mountain said.
“Alright,” he said. Ying Guang said.
Then, the two big shots walked out.
Was white jade City really that impressive? It was just an emissary, yet two super Giants had to go and welcome him together? The rest of the people were not even qualified to welcome him.
After a while, the three of them entered together.
The temperature of the entire tomb instantly dropped by a lot. It was already very cool here, and now it could be considered cold.
It was Shen Lang’s first time meeting the messenger of white jade City. Not only Shen lang, but the others were also meeting the messenger of white jade City for the first time.
However, this was not considered a meeting. As she was wearing an ice mask, her face was not revealed at all. She was even wearing a snow-white dress from head to toe, giving people the feeling that she was a ball of snow dancing over.
Shen lang, you said that you wanted to trade with us. You can speak now. The messenger from white jade City said.
As soon as he said that, Ying wuque’s cold eyes revealed a complacent light.
Shen lang, you said that you’re the grandson of white jade City, but what’s the result? How cold was his attitude? you’re just being nice to him. He’s not here to protect you at all. He just wants to see what kind of deal you have.
“How about a private talk?” Shen lang asked.
White jade city’s brows furrowed slightly, and then something strange happened.
The surrounding air was getting colder and colder. Then, a snow-white icy aura emerged from her body and spun rapidly. It wrapped around Shen lang and her, isolating them from the outside world.
It was really too awesome. He had actually created a vortex of ice and snow in the air, creating an absolutely private space.
“You can tell me now,” what do you want? ” the messenger asked. what do you want to pay? ” What do you get?”
“I want you to be the middleman and judge the deal between me and the master of stupa mountain,” Shen lang said.
what? ” the messenger of white jade City was confused. you didn’t ask me to get you out? ”
“If I ask you to save me, will you do that?” Shen lang said.
“I won’t,” you’re not worth it, ” the messenger of white jade City said. you’re not worth it.
She was so direct. However, Shen lang had never thought of asking white jade City to save him. Moreover, he still had an important mission to complete. How could he leave?
Shen lang said, ” what I want is very simple. As I am weak, I don’t want to suffer any physical injuries before this deal is completed. Therefore, I need you to judge this deal. Before the deal is completed, the other party can not hurt me at all.
tell me, ” the messenger from white jade City said. what can you offer me in exchange? ”
“White Emperor City. The great Yan Empire might launch a destructive attack on the White Emperor City,” Shen lang said.
this information is not enough, ” the messenger from white jade City said with a frown. it’s far from valuable enough.
Shen lang said, ” however, I don’t want you to do much. You only need to witness and judge this transaction.
In other words, the price of white jade City was too high.
that’s right, ” the messenger said. your request is not high. It’s nothing to white jade City. But for me to make a trip here, the value is high.”
Understood. A plate of fried rice noodles for take-out was worth no more than 20 yuan, but if it was sent by Jack Ma himself, it was priceless.
Shen lang, ” the messenger from white jade City said. if you want me to protect you this time, you have to come up with something more valuable.
Shen lang was confused. Someone wanted to destroy White Emperor City. Was the value of this information not enough? Even though Shen lang really did not know where White Emperor City was or if it was related to white jade City, he was still confused.
After thinking for a while, Shen lang hesitated whether he should take out another chip. He felt that it was a pity. Although the chip did not look valuable, it seemed to be priceless.
“My time is limited.” as time passes, ” the messenger said, ” the things you want to give will be less and less valuable to white jade City. We don’t lack anything, and we don’t care about anything.
the comet in the sky, ” Shen lang said. it’s the comet that hit the ground not long ago and caused a huge explosion.
“How is it?” The messenger from white jade City said.
it’s not a comet, ” Shen lang said. in fact, it’s not even a celestial body. It’s a product of an ancient civilization.
The messenger of white jade City was silent for a long time. She didn’t show any shock, but her silence meant everything.
“Deal,” he said. it’s a pleasure working with you, ” the messenger from white jade City said. but please be clear that we’re not trading information with you.
“I understand,” you bought this information, ” Shen lang said. you want to seal it completely.
The messenger from white jade City looked at Shen lang. He was indeed a smart person. However, she did not appreciate his intelligence or the direction he was going in.
The blizzard disappeared, and Shen lang and the messenger of white jade City appeared in the tomb again.
For some reason, Shen lang wanted to do something. The action of tying his belt gave people the feeling that he had done something shady in the ice storm. However, he decided against it. The envoy of white jade City was not to be trifled with.
I’m willing to vouch for Shen lang. “Goodbye!” The messenger of white jade City said.
Then, she left just like that.
But you don’t even know what the deal is, and you’re just making a blind guarantee. Can you bear the consequences?
Soon, Shen lang realized that he was overthinking. White jade City did not need to know about the deal between Shen lang and the stupa Mountain Master. It would bear the consequences. Besides, who could make white jade City bear the consequences?
However, white jade City was too arrogant.
........................
The master of stupa mountain and Ying Guang were very curious about what price Shen lang had paid to make stupa mountain vouch for him.
However, white jade City was different from any other forces in the world. Things that were valuable in the eyes of others were worthless in white jade city’s eyes. However, things that were worthless in the eyes of others were priceless in the eyes of white jade City.
Ying wuque kept his dagger because he knew that before this deal was completed, he could not harm a single hair on Shen lang.
The master of stupa mountain looked at Shen lang and said,”A half-month deal, is it?”
“Yes!” Shen lang replied.
“Within half a month, you have to give me 10 Dragon’s regret, and you have to cure my daughter,” the master of stupa mountain said.
“Yes,” Shen lang replied.
The master of stupa mountain said, ” if you can’t do it, you will have to hand over the two Dragon’s regrets you stole and cut off one of your left arms as punishment. I think this punishment is very reasonable. Since ancient times, it has been in accordance with the law to cut off one’s arm for stealing.
Shen lang nodded and said, ” yes, very reasonable. ”
“In that case, use your father, Jiang Li, to make an oath,” the master of stupa mountain said.
“Within half a month, I will hand over ten Dragon’s regrets to the master of stupa mountain and cure Princess stupa, Ren Yingying,” Shen lang said. If I can’t do it, one of my left arms will be cut off, and I will hand over the two Dragon’s regrets that I stole before unconditionally. If I go against this oath, my father Jiang Li will never be able to rest in peace in the underworld.”
“Deal,” the master of stupa mountain said.
Ying wuque said, ” sect leader Ren, don’t be fooled. This is definitely Shen Lang’s scheme. Shen lang, let me ask you. If you could get 10 Dragon’s regrets, why did you risk your life to let us capture you and steal two of them? you could have just gotten those 10.”
Shen lang did not explain.
“Time is of the essence. What do you want to do next?” the master of stupa mountain asked.
Shen lang said,”sect master Ren, I heard that your wife was still exploring the ancient ruins when she was pregnant?” And he had even barged into a very strange vortex? When she came out of the vortex, she couldn’t remember anything. Her mind was blank and she even lost all consciousness. That’s why Princess Ren Yingying was abnormal after she was born.”
The master of stupa mountain couldn’t help but shout that her name wasn’t Ren Yingying. However, it didn’t matter anymore.
The key was that Shen Lang’s words made his face Twitch. This matter was top secret, but it wasn’t a top secret that only he knew. This Wu Tuzi simply told him everything.
In fact, her teacher, Wu Tuzi, didn’t specifically talk about this matter. It was when Mulan was in danger after giving birth to Shen Ye, and Shen lang wanted to find a marrow cleansing essence for her. Wu Tuzi mentioned this because her situation was similar to Mulan’s.
Back then, Mulan had fallen into a deep sleep, and her life force was constantly weakening. As for the wife of the stupa Mountain Master, she had lost all of her memories and consciousness. She was like a walking corpse. Since the stupa mountain Princess was born, she had almost never appeared in public. Everyone knew that she was abnormal.
Shen lang said, ” this kind of energy vortex can be found in many ancient ruins. The vortex that your wife encountered is only a small one. There are many more terrifying vortexes. Once a person enters them, they will be crushed and turned into ashes.
As soon as these words were spoken, the face of the master of stupa mountain trembled slightly, as if he had recalled some memories.
“From the looks of it, the abnormality of Princess Ren Yingying’s body is related to the energy vortex that your wife passed through when she was pregnant,” Shen lang said.
This sounded very familiar. It was like pregnant women could not take X-rays, let alone CT and Mr scans, or the fetus might be abnormal.
“Therefore, the treatment for Princess Ren Yingying has to start from this source,” Shen lang said.
The master of stupa mountain asked,”what about the ten strands of Dragon’s regret?” I’d like to know how you’re going to give it to me. ”
Shen lang said,”sect leader Ren, if I’m not wrong, your Dragon’s regret should have been developed from the ancient ruins in the southern sea, right?” Plus, the way he obtained Dragon’s regret must have been very violent.”
The other party did not speak.
Shen lang said, ” I’ve seen the ancient secret base. Dragon’s regret was almost completely fixed on the ground. No matter how strong the force was, it couldn’t move at all. Unless we can crack the ancient energy control Center, we won’t be able to move it. However, a few years ago, stupa mountain obviously did not have the patience to do so. They chose to detonate the energy cores directly, causing these key secret chambers to lose all their defenses in an instant. You guys obtained a lot of equipment and weapons, including Dragon’s regret. Therefore, during that period of time, there were frequent underwater earthquakes in the southern sea. The big earthquake that followed might have been to completely destroy the Xue family and monopolize the control of the entire southern sea. How could anyone be allowed to sleep beside the bed? But before that, there was a series of explosions at the bottom of the sea.”
this is very normal. It is the so-called violent mining. Shen lang said, ” that’s because stupa mountain needs to obtain a huge harvest in the shortest amount of time. This is the case for all Supreme powers. At the start, it was all violent mining, but it became more and more detailed.”
The stupa mountain Lord tacitly agreed and even wanted to chase Ying wuque out.
Shen lang was right. After obtaining the power of the ancient civilization, everyone would first eat their fill and become stronger. After that, they would slowly chew and develop.
This was like developing an industry. In the beginning, the environment was definitely ignored. What about big chimneys releasing thick smoke and wastewater? who cared about that? Developing first, then governing. Although it had been repeatedly denied and criticized, all countries in history did it this way.
After obtaining the power of the ancient civilization, Emperor Jiang Li developed unhurriedly for fear of causing great destruction and made plans that took ten years or even a hundred years. Everyone had seen his end. Before he could develop the power of the ancient civilization, he had died suddenly, and others had taken advantage of him.
Shen lang said, ” therefore, there must be some secret laboratories and bases in sect leader Ren’s huge ancient ruins. It’s hard to open them with normal means. However, I don’t want to develop it violently, so I left it there for now.”
The master of stupa mountain remained silent.
Shen Lang’s every word was a guess, but he was right. That was the truth.
This ancient ruin was simply too big. Stupa mountain had been excavating it for two years and had reaped great benefits. In just two years, it had developed more than it had in the past hundred years. It had become extremely powerful all of a sudden.
So, stupa mountain was now qualified for a sustainable development? Talk about sustainable development?
What a joke. It was fortunate that stupa mountain was so powerful. Otherwise, this huge ancient ruin in the southern sea would have been robbed by others. After confirming the scale of this ancient ruin, the great Yan Empire and the heaven punishing Pavilion would definitely be eyeing it covetously.
It was not without reason that stupa mountain and the Xingan Kingdom had combined in an attempt to overturn the current order and break away from the emperor’s control.
Shen lang said, ” that’s why I can’t bear it anymore. My value is shining brightly. It’s so bright that I’m going to blind you. Sect leader Ren, do you know where I got my only Dragon’s regret? I got it from a secret base of the Zhu family. I also killed everyone on the island. Thousands of people from the Zhu family had stayed in the secret base for decades, but they had found nothing. They couldn’t even move Dragon’s regret away, and they couldn’t even open the secret room. I easily opened all the secret rooms and made contact with the energy control Center. As for the reason? I don’t need to say it, of course it’s because I’m too awesome. My blood is like the sun and I have the highest authority. The Lotus Gate will open when I meet the king.”
Everyone’s face twitched. Shen lang, how long had it been since you got out of danger? why are you acting so crazy again? It’s trembling? You actually dare to say dirty words in front of us?
Shen lang said, ” so, sect leader Ren. Do you think it’s easy for me to give you 10 Dragon’s regrets? ” As long as you take me to your giant ancient ruin, I promise I’ll get you 10 Dragon’s regret in a day.”
Ying wuque trembled as he said, ” sect leader Ren, don’t be fooled. Don’t be fooled. Shen lang only wants to enter your ancient ruins. He has a scheme, he has a scheme.
“No, I have value.” Shen lang said calmly,”do people have to give up on food because of choking?” In fact, sect leader Ren had this plan long ago, but I interrupted it myself because I stole two of your Dragon’s regret. Sect leader Ren, there must be extremely important secret bases and secret laboratories in your ancient ruins. They can’t be opened by normal means, but opening these laboratories is of great significance to you. It’s time for me to create a miracle and make stupa mountain advance by leaps and bounds.”
sect leader Ren, what you have to do is very simple. Knock me out and send me directly to the inside of the giant ancient relic. I will come to an extremely important secret laboratory, which I can open easily because I have the highest authority.
I can bring you more than just Dragon’s regret. I can also bring you other strategic materials.
sect leader Ren, don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don’t interrupt our previous rhythm just because I stole two Dragon’s regrets.
Ying wuque shouted, ” sect leader Ren, don’t agree to it! Don’t agree to it! Shen lang is definitely up to something! He’s definitely up to something!
The master of stupa mountain looked at Shen lang and said, ” “You’re really amazing. You’re a monster. Not only did you not run away after stealing two Dragon’s regrets, but you also continued to plan bigger things as a captive and tried to obtain more benefits! You’re so bold that it’s unimaginable. You’re simply a madman.”
“Sect leader Ren, are you willing to try?” Shen lang shrugged his shoulders.
I’m going to castrate you now, ” Ying wuque said sternly. I’ll end all troubles once and for all so that you won’t cause more trouble.
Then, he pulled out his saber and charged at Shen lang.
cough, cough, cough. a light coughing sound came from behind him, and Ying wuque’s movements stopped.
Shen lang, you’re so crazy. You’re doing whatever you want. Be careful not to get yourself into trouble, ” sect leader Ren said.
“Sect leader Ren, I just want to perform a miracle for you,” Shen lang said.
“You’ll definitely burn yourself if you play with fire.” “You’re a lunatic, a complete lunatic,” stupa mountain sect master said slowly.
Then, he clapped his hands and Shen lang fainted.
........................
After an unknown period of time, Shen lang opened his eyes again and found himself in a completely unfamiliar environment.
W-where was this place?
This was too strange. What the hell was this place? He had never seen or even imagined it before. It was like a dream world.
“Shen lang, didn’t you want to perform a miracle? This is a secret room in my ancient ruins. You’ve never seen or heard of it before, have you?”
“This secret room has no mechanisms, no doors, no openings, no signs, no clues, no lights, no shadows, no special features, but you have to open it within 30 seconds. If you succeed, you can continue our deal. If you fail, your hand will be useless and you can cut it off.”
“Didn’t you say you were going to perform a miracle? You can start now.”
countdown begins. Thirty, twenty-nine, twenty-eight ...
