Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 775: Chapter 775: Collaboration

The longsword pierced the Monster Beast’s scale armor, blue light burst instantly, and the beast let out a painful wail.

The massive body thrashed violently in the water, attempting to throw Xue Feng off. Xue Feng held onto the longsword tightly, while Xiao Xiao released another wave of energy, directly hitting the beast’s body.

The energy burst into a dazzling light on the beast, the attack spreading rapidly. The beast’s body trembled uncontrollably under the assault,

the scale armor gradually turned black and red. Seizing the opportunity, Xue Feng pulled out the longsword and stabbed it fiercely into the beast’s weak spot again.

The beast’s roar was deafening, shaking the entire cave. It twisted its body madly, trying to throw Xue Feng off, but Xue Feng used all his strength to grip the longsword tightly. Meanwhile, Xiao Xiao kept releasing energy to suppress the beast’s resistance.

”We must end this battle quickly, its power is too strong,” Xiao Xiao gasped, her energy consumption was huge, her forehead already covered in sweat.

Being underwater already greatly reduced her consumption, and with such a troublesome opponent.

Xiao Xiao was almost reaching her limit.

Xue Feng nodded, taking a deep breath, concentrating all his strength, he stabbed the longsword into the beast’s weak spot once again. This time, the longsword completely penetrated the scale armor, deeply into the beast’s body.

The blue light vanished in an instant, the beast’s body began to rapidly lose its power.

However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the beast’s eyes, which had just closed, suddenly snapped open.

Its massive claw came straight at the two of them.

The two hurriedly retreated, not noticing the treasure they had just taken falling out.

At that instant, the immense suction force emitted from the beast drew back the items the two had taken.

”Damn it! Our stuff!”

Xue Feng shouted, wanting to rush forward and retrieve the items.

But Xiao Xiao quickly pulled him back.

”Xue Feng! Don’t be impulsive! Taking that thing is not easy! That suction almost dragged us in just now. We don’t even know if we can get out if we go in!”

At this moment, Xiao Xiao was extremely calm, she finally understood why that Old Turtle said what he did.

The difficulty between the first and second levels was worlds apart!

If he didn’t want to tell them the way, he could have just said so, instead of setting up so many challenges!

If not for Buddha’s Relic, Xiao Xiao would have surely given that Old Turtle a good beating!

”You’re right, I was too impulsive just now. Let’s go back and rest up before coming back here.”

Xue Feng said, Xiao Xiao nodded.

The energy within both of them was heavily depleted right now, if they charged in hastily now, it would only lead to death.

They weren’t foolish enough to take such a huge risk.

They could obtain Buddha’s Relic later, but not at the cost of their lives.

At this moment.

Xue Family.

In Xue Wei’s courtyard, Wu Chang appeared in his yard.

”I heard from Zheng Xiao, you want to see our Saint Heir?” Wu Chang asked blankly.

Xue Wei glanced at him, then around.

Finding no one else around but him, he clicked his tongue in slight disappointment.

”Her message was delivered to you, but when will you make it happen?” Xue Wei sat down slowly, making tea for himself.

That nonchalant demeanor fell into Wu Chang’s eyes, always feeling like a reminder.

”I also delivered your message to the Saint Heir, however, the Saint Heir is currently unable to come here. Besides, you are vying for the position of Saint Heir, if you openly collaborate with our Saint Heir, it might not be beneficial for you.”

Wu Chang stated plainly once more.

These words reached Xue Wei’s ears, and Xue Wei smiled knowingly.

”It seems the Jiang Ancient Clan doesn’t take our Xue Family seriously, he doesn’t come, then our cooperation might...”

Xue Wei hinted, Wu Chang remained expressionless.

”By the way, Wu Chang, you represent the Jiang Ancient Clan to negotiate with us, just to deal with a Ye Qingchen, yet the Jiang Ancient Clan is willing to give up so much benefit. But if I can help you in the Xue Family to eliminate Ye Qingchen?”

Xue Wei glanced at Wu Chang casually.

Wu Chang’s eyes widened: ”Hmph, don’t underestimate that Ye Qingchen, even our Saint Heir has suffered losses at his hands. You want to eliminate him? It won’t be that easy!”

Wu Chang, having experienced Ye Qingchen’s skills, had some understanding of him.

But as for Xue Wei in front of him, Wu Chang had no idea of his real strength, so it felt like a joke when he said those words to Wu Chang.

Xue Wei’s expression remained unchanged, continuing: ”If your Jiang Ancient Clan cannot, does it mean our Xue Family cannot either? Besides, the cooperation between Jiang Ancient Clan and Xue Family is already agreed upon, so you have no reason to stay here longer. Without my help, how could you easily make a move in the Xue Family?”

Xue Wei was indeed holding the initiative.

Hearing this, Wu Chang couldn’t help but admire the other party’s scheming mind.

”Xue Wei, in that case, just say it. What conditions do you have for cooperating with us?” Wu Chang asked.

Xue Wei sipped on his freshly made tea slightly.

”I’ve made it clear earlier, if you wish to cooperate with me, your Saint Heir must come personally. If that cannot be done, then this matter is over. As you know, the Jiang Ancient Clan has reached a deal with our Family Head, our Family Head may not aid Ye Qingchen, but I am not the Family Head.”

Xue Wei’s meaning was crystal clear, Wu Chang, hearing such a firm answer, couldn’t help but frown deeply.

Before he could say anything, Xue Wei continued.

”Wu Chang, don’t be quick to dismiss me. Convey this to your Saint Heir and try, after all, Wu Chang, as I recall, weren’t you once the Saint Heir of Wuji Immortal Palace? Why has it come to this?”

Xue Wei knowingly asked.

His words jabbed right at Wu Chang’s sore spot.

Grinding his teeth, his gaze sharpened: ”Hmph, this is none of your concern, but rest assured, I’ll relay your message.”

Xue Wei nodded in satisfaction.

”But you must act quickly, after all, Ye Qingchen’s people have entered the Secret Realm, who knows when they’ll return with the Buddha’s Relic?”

Wu Chang black-faced, nodded to Xue Wei, then vanished.

”Master, why do you insist on collaborating with their Saint Heir? Isn’t this Wu Chang representing their Saint Heir, can’t you just instruct him?”

Ah San couldn’t suppress his curiosity, asking in wonder.
