Upon hearing Xiao Ye’s words, Wu Pojun was so angry he almost vomited blood.
Damn it, Xiao Ye was blatantly looting a burning house!
However, at the moment, other than making this unfair trade with Xiao Ye, unless he resorted to that lifesaving measure, once he did so, he himself would enter a period of weakness, shaking the very foundation of his Cultivation. It would then become even more difficult to improve his Cultivation in the future.
"Forget it, it’s better to barely survive than to die. As long as I’m alive, I will take back all this by my own hands!"
Caught between these two tough choices, Wu Pojun hesitated for a moment, then was hit by a huge Ferocious Beast again, coughing up blood. He had already made up his mind in his heart.
"Junior Brother Xiao Ye, how can you prove that you can rescue me?" Wu Pojun said in a deep voice.
He was not a fool. What if after handing all the treasures over to Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye turned and left? Wouldn’t he then tragically die at the jaws of these Ferocious Beasts?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye cracked a slight smile and said: "I come from East State and have lived with Ferocious Beasts since I was young, carrying a unique aura that only a Ferocious Beast has. Otherwise, with these King Martial Realm beasts in a frenzy, it wouldn’t make sense for them to only attack you and not me."
"As long as I am willing to help you, naturally I can rescue you. I swear on the name of the Holy Palace," Xiao Ye said.
Of course, Wu Pojun wanted to eliminate him, but now was not the most opportune time. This place was too close to the Holy Palace; if an Elder of the Holy Palace saw this, it would be the end of him.
After all, if one saw a Holy Palace Disciple in trouble and did not rescue them, they would also be punished. If investigated further, the secret that Little White could control Ferocious Beasts would definitely not be kept, so Xiao Ye was not planning to pit Wu Pojun now.
Anyway, there would be plenty of opportunities once they were far away from the Holy Palace.
As for the story he made up, it was to confuse Wu Pojun and to explain why these beasts were not attacking him.
After all, if he didn’t tell, who would know that these King Martial Realm beasts were actually under the command of Little White? This way, even if word got back to the Holy Palace, no one would be able to see through it.
Xiao Ye finished speaking, and with a flicker of his figure, he arrived in front of Wu Pojun, turned around to face the beasts with a gentle smile on his face, appearing completely fearless.
Little White, hiding in the dark, naturally understood Xiao Ye’s intentions and controlled the King Martial beasts that were heading towards Wu Pojun. They came to a stop in front of Xiao Ye but still watched him with vigilant eyes.
"It’s actually true, these beasts really don’t attack Xiao Ye!"
Seeing this scene, Wu Pojun’s pupils contracted, and he felt uneasy in his heart, believing Xiao Ye’s words somewhat.
"Senior Brother Wu, if you still need time to think, I can give you some time." At this moment, Xiao Ye turned around with a smiling gaze toward Wu Pojun, pretending to be about to leave.
"No, don’t, Junior Brother Xiao Ye, I agree!" Wu Pojun hurriedly held onto Xiao Ye.
Subsequently, without hesitation, Wu Pojun swiped his palm over his Space Ring, tossing a gray bag, a purple Jade Talisman, and the long sword in his hand to Xiao Ye.
To save his life, he had no choice but to yield, and right now, Xiao Ye was the only one who could help him.
Xiao Ye first opened the gray bag and couldn’t help but gasp in shock.
Inside the bag, there were at least fifty King Crystals radiating powerful Energy fluctuations. With just one breath, he could feel his Cultivation slowly increasing within his Body.
The long sword was also exquisitely crafted, extremely sharp, and emitted the Suppression of the King Martial Realm.
Xiao Ye squeezed it hard, finding that he couldn’t leave the slightest mark on the blade and that it could also unleash an unrivaled Sword Energy, so domineering and powerful.
It was evident that this was a genuine Royal Artifact.
"I didn’t expect to acquire a real Royal Artifact without any effort!" Xiao Ye was thrilled as he stored the long saber into his Space Ring, his gaze then falling onto the purple Jade Talisman.
"What’s this?" Xiao Ye asked, "Senior Brother Wu, is this the life-saving item you were talking about?"
Watching Xiao Ye holding the purple Jade Talisman, Wu Pojun’s heart was bleeding, but he still said: "Yes, this is the ’Heavenly Martial Talisman’ that was bestowed upon me by Elder Lin Feng after completing a mission. As long as you infuse it with your King Martial Power and some essence blood, it can unleash an attack with the full power of Elder Lin Feng. It’s usually a life-saving item."
Xiao Ye was shocked when he heard this.
This small Jade Talisman could actually deliver the full-strength blow of a Main Hall Devilish Disciple, which was simply terrifying!
If it were in the hands of a Holy Palace Disciple, it could downright obliterate everything.
However, the cost of activating this talisman was also quite significant.
Of course, if it’s used for saving one’s life, then it couldn’t be better. At once, Xiao Ye meticulously inquired about how to use the talisman and, after ensuring he understood correctly, he contentedly placed it into his Space Ring.
"Junior Brother Xiao Ye, you can take me out now, right?" asked Wu Pojun, his body trembling with fear as he looked at the King Martial Realm Ferocious Beasts still lingering around.
"Of course, Senior Brother Wu, just stick close to me," Xiao Ye replied with a hint of a cold smile, and then promptly burst forward.
Wu Pojun was taken aback, almost angry enough to vomit blood.
Was Xiao Ye playing with him? Charging out like that, wouldn’t those King Martial Realm Ferocious Beasts directly attack him?
Indeed, not long after Xiao Ye charged out, those restless Ferocious Beasts pounced again, causing Wu Pojun to fend them off in a very sorry state.
"Xiao Ye, you bastard!"
After Wu Pojun managed a powerful hit to temporarily fend off the beasts, he quickly pursued Xiao Ye.
Without Xiao Ye, he had no doubt he would have died there.
Fortunately, his Cultivation was much stronger than Xiao Ye’s, and he was quite fast, so it didn’t take him long to catch up to Xiao Ye, and the aggression from the beasts indeed slowed down considerably.
But before Wu Pojun had a chance to catch his breath, Xiao Ye’s figure abruptly turned, darting in another direction.
Wu Pojun, caught off guard, continued at his previous speed and charged forward several hundred meters before stopping, and those beasts were already pouncing at him again.
With a mocking intent, Xiao Ye repeatedly used the beasts to inflict more wounds on Wu Pojun, yet without endangering Wu Pojun’s life, playing him like a fiddle.
Wu Pojun, despite knowing full well that Xiao Ye was toying with him, couldn’t find an opportunity to retaliate, fuming with rage.
Finally, after several struggles, Wu Pojun followed Xiao Ye and at last saw the exit of the forest, and those King Martial Realm Ferocious Beasts gradually receded, no longer pursuing them.
