Chapter 1525: Chapter 676: Snow Night’s Killing Intent! Karma

The illustrious God King of Mingyu immediately understood from Li Yuan’s simple words that her actions might have angered the other party.

In an instant.

“The Snow Night God King has wronged me, this token must involve deeper secrets, which he hasn’t told me,” numerous thoughts flashed through the Mingyu God King’s mind.

Yet her reaction was swift, and a trace of a bitter smile appeared on her face: “As expected, the Heart Origin Palace Master possesses immense Divine Skills, it seems nothing can be hidden from you… but I truly did not deceive you, according to the information I received, this is indeed just a peripheral token of the Age Demon Star.”

The Age Demon Star remains extremely mysterious, and to this day, the Chaos Divine Court has yet to unravel its Mystery.

However, through the long years and numerous explorations by the God Kings, a little information has been known, understanding that the Age Demon Star is divided into two major regions, with the surface of the Star Domain collectively referred to as the ’periphery.’

The interior of the Star Domain, on the other hand, belongs to the core area.

In the periphery, there are many ancient palaces… one must obtain the corresponding Token to enter these palaces, but the vast majority of palaces are ’empty,’ with no treasures inside.

The palaces with treasures are few.

Thus, the peripheral tokens of the Age Demon Star are not of great value.

“If my request has offended the Heart Origin Palace Master, I seek your forgiveness.” The Mingyu God King maintained a very low posture.

In terms of strength, she was quite formidable, but compared to Li Yuan, who swept the eight nations in the Battle of Beichen Star, she was still at a disadvantage.

Moreover.

Li Yuan’s background is impressive, his talent even more exceptional… although the Mingyu God King wished to resolve her karma with the Snow Night God King, she was unwilling to offend Li Yuan unless absolutely necessary.

“Oh?”

“Information?” Li Yuan’s expression softened slightly: “What information? I only want to know how you found out that the Heavenly Divine Tian Bing possessed this item.”

This indeed alerted Li Yuan.

From He Liubing’s communication, it was clear that upon her return to the Jue Xing Continent, only Senior Xing and he knew… and she had never exposed the ’Black Demon Wood Fragment.’

Senior Xing would naturally not reveal any information.

Mingyu God King’s expression flickered, and she finally sighed: “Alright, if I concoct an excuse to deceive the Heart Origin Palace Master, it truly makes me appear foolish.”

“I won’t hide it from the Palace Master either.”

“In fact, it wasn’t me who sought this item, but someone else.” The Mingyu God King shook her head: “However, that person is unwilling to show themselves… I owe that person a debt of karma, and that is why I was compelled to visit.”

“Someone else? From the Abyss Divine Court?” Li Yuan realized immediately.

Throughout the entire Divine Realm, the only ones who had grievances with Li Yuan before were the Abyss Divine Court and the Wandao Divine Court…

But following the previous reconciliation and this celebration with gift-giving, the Wandao Divine Court’s relationship with him eased significantly, becoming practically normal… leaving only the Abyss Divine Court.

“Due to the entanglement of karma vows, I cannot divulge further, and I hope the Palace Master will understand.” The Mingyu God King shook her head: “Since this item is special, I naturally will not pursue it further… may this matter be considered concluded.”

Li Yuan contemplated for a moment.

“Alright.”

“But I have one requirement,” said Li Yuan.

“Please speak, Palace Master,” the Mingyu God King responded promptly.

“No matter who the person behind you is, you can only tell them… the Heavenly Divine Tian Bing does not wish to exchange it.” Li Yuan slowly said: “You absolutely cannot say that I perceived any signs from the treasure.”

The Mingyu God King’s heart stirred, and she thought of various possibilities.

Does this Heart Origin God King intend to draw out the one behind the scenes?

“Very well.” The Mingyu God King nodded: “I am willing to swear an oath… I will not reveal any more secrets, and today, it is as if I never sought the Palace Master.”

Soon enough.

The Mingyu God King swore an Eternal Oath and quietly departed.

“Who is behind this?”

“Are they certain that I am unaware of the secret of this token?” Li Yuan pondered: “But if it truly is a God King from the Abyss Divine Court, and they know this token is with Little Bing… why not act directly then? Could they clearly sense the location of the Black Demon Tombstone Fragment? Know that Little Bing hasn’t taken it out of the Chaos Divine Court Headquarters.”

Though Liu Bing is very cautious.

But given a God King constantly watching… it remains dangerous.

“This being behind the scenes.”

“Could they also know the secret of the Black Demon Tombstone?” Li Yuan pondered, realizing there were too many unfathomable aspects in this.

The intelligence both sides held was asymmetrical.

The Black Demon Tombstone is so rare… even the Beihai Supreme couldn’t initially secure it, only after breaking into the Black Demon Corpse Realm did he manage to forcibly acquire two pieces.

Could a God King recognize the Black Demon Tombstone?

“We must wait.”

“During this period, Little Bing must not leave the Chaos Divine Court Headquarters, she must remain under my protection.” Li Yuan immediately decided.

Li Yuan instantly sent a message to Liu Bing.

Even though the Black Demon Tombstone is no longer with Liu Bing, and there is an agreement among the Divine Emperors that God Kings should not easily confront Heavenly Divine beings… Li Yuan did not dare to take any chances.

After all, Liu Bing has not mastered the Doppelganger Technique, possessing only one true body.

If a mistake were to occur, it would be a deep regret.

…

In the territory of the Abyss Divine Court, deep within a vast Star Domain.

Countless crimson snowflakes fluttered in the air above a mighty river, beautiful yet sinister.

The Phantom in a Purple Garment stood there all along.

“Mingyu, how is it? Any news?” the deep voice of the Snow Night God King echoed, resounding across the endless river.

“Failed,” the voice of the Mingyu God King replied.

“Why?” The Snow Night God King appeared slightly impatient: “A thousand Square Eternal Crystals… could it be that the Heart Origin God King detected something? Hence the refusal to exchange?”

He was indeed anxious.

“Unclear.”

“Just now, the Heart Origin God King met me and merely said that the Heavenly Divine Tian Bing refused to exchange… the Heavenly Divine Tian Bing is his sworn sister, their relationship is extremely close.” The Mingyu God King shook her head: “Moreover, the Heart Origin God King has no shortage of a thousand Square Eternal Crystals, so he directly rejected me.”

The Mingyu God King spoke nonchalantly.

“What about raising the offer? A ten thousand Square Eternal Crystals, how about that?” The Snow Night God King immediately proposed.

“Snow Night, calm down.” The Mingyu God King looked at him: “For a peripheral token of the Age Demon Star, I offered a thousand Square Eternal Crystals, which is considered top-rated… suddenly raising it to ten thousand Square Eternal Crystals, the Heart Origin God King will definitely become aware.”
