Chapter 1918: Chapter 1918
After sizing up the person in front of him, he directly and coldly said, "Speak, why did you suddenly invite Zhou Mou here? What trick are you trying to play?"
Faced with such a cold reception, Ziyang True Person seemed unfazed, responding in an unusually gentle tone, "Why is Taoist Friend Zhou in such a hurry? Why not sit down and have a cup of tea first?"
There’s a saying that when something seems abnormal, there’s always something fishy behind it.
Seeing Ziyang True Person being so courteous and gentle to someone who holds such enmity toward him, Zhou Chun became even more vigilant at heart.
Yet, outwardly, he remained indifferent, waving his hand dismissively, "Zhou Mou has never had the habit of drinking tea with an enemy. If you don’t want to talk, Zhou Mou won’t entertain you any longer!"
Hearing this cold and resolute remark, Ziyang True Person’s expression froze briefly, then he gave a bitter smile and said, "Becoming an enemy of Taoist Friend Zhou is truly the most regrettable thing of my life!"
After saying that, he sighed softly in a self-deprecating manner, "However, as of today, with Taoist Friend Zhou’s divine skills, this insignificant one probably doesn’t even qualify to be your enemy anymore!"
But Zhou Chun wasn’t swayed by this act, and he said in a deep voice, "If you have something to say, say it. If you think you can gain Zhou Mou’s sympathy by pretending to be pitiful, you miscalculated!"
His words carried a sense of impatience. Orıginal content can be found at ⓝovelFire.net
Seeing this situation, Ziyang True Person also sighed in his heart and could only nod and say, "In that case, Taoist Friend Zhou might as well listen to the price I’m offering!"
As his words fell, his expression became solemn, and he seriously told Zhou Chun, "Taoist Friend Zhou should already know that the Dual-Headed Black Flood Dragon which caused a storm in Great Zhou Kingdom back then, was actually transformed from a certain Vice Sect Hierarch of the Dragon Transformation Sect and his Spirit Pet after the sect was first destroyed. The most important heritage spiritual treasure of Dragon Transformation Sect, the [True Dragon Seal], is also in his possession!"
"And after destructing the body of Kuanglei True Person, this Dual-Headed Black Flood Dragon was chased for tens of thousands of miles by Taoist Friends from Great Zhou Kingdom, fleeing all the way to the Sky Barbarian Plains."
"In recent years, I have used various means to investigate there and, risking immense danger, personally went to Sky Barbarian Plains to verify and have already found the specific location of that Dual-Headed Black Flood Dragon."
Saying this, he sincerely told Zhou Chun, "If Taoist Friend Zhou is willing to return the sect’s heritage spiritual treasure, [Sunflame Treasure], I am willing to personally lead you to Sky Barbarian Plains to surround and kill that Dual-Headed Black Flood Dragon, assisting you in acquiring the [True Dragon Seal], this supreme spiritual treasure!"
After hearing his words, Zhou Chun was slightly taken aback.
Zhou Chun hadn’t expected Ziyang True Person to resort to such a method to retrieve the sect’s heritage spiritual treasure.
It was surprisingly similar to his own initial thoughts!
However, after briefly dazing, he quickly sneered, "Old Thief Ziyang, you still play your little tricks. Leaving aside why Zhou Mou should exchange a spiritual treasure already in hand for another that might not even exist, do you really think that Dual-Headed Black Flood Dragon is easy to deal with? Especially in a place like the Sky Barbarian Plains, an alien race territory!"
He continued in a sharp tone, "How do I know that you’re not deliberately using this as bait to lure Zhou Mou to the Sky Barbarian Plains, then collude with the alien race to ambush Zhou Mou!"
It seemed Ziyang True Person had anticipated this response. He immediately shook his head and argued, "Taoist Friend Zhou, your words are mistaken! The power of our sect’s heritage spiritual treasure in your hands can’t be fully unleashed, while the [True Dragon Seal] not only surpasses our sect’s heritage treasure in power but also fits very well with you. Whether you or the Silver Dragon Monarch use it, it can display unparalleled power!"
"As for your concerns, Taoist Friend Zhou, there is no need for such worries. No matter how foolish, I know that conspiring with the alien race to ambush our Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators is a heinous crime that would implicate the entire sect and family. It’s impossible to take such a huge risk to harm you!"
At this point, he gazed firmly at Zhou Chun and said, "If you’re still not convinced, Taoist Friend Zhou, I’m willing to go with you to seek justice from Taoist Friend Xuanzhen or Taoist Friend Kunxu, or even sign a Primordial Spirit contract with you!"
He spoke with such seriousness and offered sincere intentions, making Zhou Chun unable to easily discern the truth for a moment.
But even if he couldn’t determine the truth, Zhou Chun knew how to calculate gains and losses. Thus, after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth again to refuse, "Even so, using a spiritual treasure already possessed to exchange for one that might never be obtained is a huge loss for Zhou Mou, and it’s impossible for Zhou Mou to agree to this!"
"What if I add the condition of making the Zhou Family the spokesperson of Jingguo Country? As long as Taoist Friend Zhou agrees to the exchange, regardless of success or failure afterward, I shall propose on behalf of the Sunflame Sect that the Zhou Family replace the Moon Wheel Sect as the spokesperson of Jingguo Country, granting you the right to issue Spirit Coins in Jingguo. What do you think, Taoist Friend Zhou?"
Ziyang True Person bit his teeth and added a condition that seemed extremely difficult to refuse!
