251 Angering Someone to Death
“Very good. The Purple Flame Companion Source can only be produced by a High Star Divine Beast, the Purple Flame Winged Lion. I hope that under the resistance of a High Star Divine Beast, your four families can still withstand the attack of the Divine Hall of Judgment. If you fight the wrong people, the powerful enemy will benefit!” After saying that, Qi Chun waved his snow-white sacrificial robe and turned to leave.
In the face of the temptation of benefits, gods would also degenerate into mortals. For a moment, everyone’s hearts turned cold.
“Hmph! Your Excellency, Beiting Lin, this matter was caused by your family’s top-notch ninth young master. What do you think we should do?” Nangong Shou gritted his teeth in anger. If his triangular eyes could kill, Beiting Huang would have been sliced into pieces by now.
Beiting Lin’s beautiful eyes, which had been washed by water, coldly glanced at Nangong Shou. She also snorted and said, “What do you think, Mr. Nangong Shou? Otherwise, as a punishment, will the Beiting Family will withdraw from this operation?”
Was withdrawing at the drop of a hat a common tactic? If the Divine Hall of Judgment hadn’t come, Nangong Shou would have been more than happy to do so, but at this moment, it was obviously impossible. If the Beiting Family withdrew, without a Heaven-ranked Spirit Master like Beiting Lin, the four great families would become the three great families. Not to mention dealing with the four Heaven-ranked Spirit Masters of the Divine Hall of Judgment, even going deep into the Broken Soul Ridge would be a problem.
The Lion King’s Ridge wasn’t easy to break through. Otherwise, why would the Four Great Families form a team? He could have done it himself. With an additional partner, he would have to split the spoils of war. Who would complain about having too many spoils of war?
The journey into the Lion King’s Ridge was pretty close to the depths of the Soul Breaking Mountain Range. The Lion King’s Ridge was located at the edge of the Soul Breaking Mountain Range. High-level Magical Beasts lived next to each other, and they could easily encounter one or two Holy Beasts. It was as normal as drinking water to encounter a Divine Beast. It was not uncommon for a Heaven-ranked Spiritual Master to die. Even Dongfang Jiao, a Heaven-ranked Spiritual Master with a Divine Beast and a Holy Beast, did not dare to enter.
In the Lion King’s Ridge, a Divine Beast’s combat strength was equivalent to a human’s spiritual rank. A mutated High Star Divine Beast like the Violet Flame Winged Lion was even more terrifying. If not for the fact that it was injured, even the Heaven Class Spiritual Masters of the four great clans would not dare to gang up on it.
Nangong Shou took a deep breath. His judgment of the situation was too clear, so he had no choice but to swallow his anger. He revealed a smile that looked more attractive than his crying face. “The four families should advance and retreat together. This has been a tradition for ten thousand years. Moreover, this is a small operation. I believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to complete the mission successfully even if the Divine Hall of Judgment is causing trouble.”
“Since we’ve decided to advance and retreat together, please make an oath!” Ximen Song still looked out of the window with an indifferent gaze. He held a cup of Deep Sea Blue in his hand and took a sip. His voice was like clear water that washed through everyone’s hearts. As soon as he finished speaking, his voice still floated gently in the hall.
“What oath?” Nangong Shou was a little confused and angry. He was a Heaven Class Spirit Master. Could he easily swear?
“Well, Your Excellency, in the next ten years, you’ll have to tame three magical beasts above the holy beast level for the three families every year!” Beiting Huang looked at Nangong Shou with disdain in her deep and dark eyes. She sized him up as if she was judging to see if he could live for ten years. “Even if you don’t necessarily do it, swearing at this time can still show your stance and win the powerful help of the three families. After all, it’s half of the Purple Flame Companion Source. Tsk tsk!”
His tone, his gaze, and the implication behind his words were that he might not be able to do it. He was cursing Nangong Shou for not being able to live for ten years. He would definitely die early.
What an infuriating fellow!
