Chapter 1607 - Nether Celestial Stone
Tang Huan squinted her eyes, her mind moved.
This Kui Cow should also have been transformed by some extremely powerful nether beast from the "Nether Life Domain". Its strength was probably comparable to the level 21 undead. It was likely that he was also one of the princes with such a powerful strength who had appeared in the "Emperor"s Courtyard". Moreover, his ranking was quite high.
From the looks of it, the relations.h.i.+p between Nine Spirits and the Kui Cow were not bad. It was unknown how they got to know each other.
"Come, come, Kui Cow, let me introduce you. This is me …"
"This is our Ouroboros Prince. Half a year ago, he suddenly barged into laozi"s fief and without the permission of laozi, he even stayed in laozi"s palace for a long time, making it extremely smelly. In the end, the only thing he could do was push it down and rebuild it."
"This matter started because of him. Do you think he should compensate?"
"Of course I should compensate you!"
The Kui Cow nodded, its huge eyes staring at the shadow candle as it viciously cried out, "What? You don"t want to pay me back?" The moment the tip of the staff landed on the ground, not only did the ground, but even the s.p.a.ce within a hundred meter radius seemed to tremble violently. A huge pressure roared out, and Yin Zhu"s face was filled with fear; he couldn"t help but take two steps back.
In the blink of an eye, the Yin Candle returned to her senses, her expression somewhat embarra.s.sed.
The dignified ninety-fifth prince was actually shocked by a single sentence from the Kui Cow. However, he absolutely did not dare to fight the Kui Cow head on.
When he was in Nine Spirit City, the reason why he chose to leave with his tail between his legs was simple. Nine Spirit City was the land of nine spirits. If he fought, not only would he not gain anything, he might even lose his life. The reason he dared to provoke Jiu Ling today was also very simple. In this place, Jiu Ling had no advantage at all. Even if he were to fight, he had the confidence to win.
However, the Kui Cow was different from the Nine Spirits. Nine Spirits was ranked ninety-six out of the hundred Princes and Princes, but the Kui Cow was ranked eighth.
With the Kui Cow"s strength, it only needed a single pole to kill him! Of course, if there really was a conflict, no matter how bold the Kui Cow was, it would not be able to kill him in the "Emperor"s Courtyard". However, he would not be able to hide in the "Emperor"s Courtyard" forever.
"Pay!" "Of course we have to compensate!"
Yin Zhu swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty and laughed dryly, "What the Prince of Nine Spirits said makes a lot of sense. I was in the wrong that day, so I really should compensate you!" His voice paused slightly, then he said carefully, "Brother Kui Niu, I have a hundred "Netherworld Immortal Stones". How about they be used to compensate the Prince of Nine Spirits" losses?"
"A hundred Netherworld Immortal Stones, are you trying to get rid of the beggar?" The nine spirits scoffed.
"That"s right. I"ll just swing the staff at you, and give you another hundred Nether Immortal Stones. How about that?"
Hearing this, the Kui Cow also glared at him, the thick and long rod in its hand slightly bouncing off the ground as if it was about to land on the head of the Shadow Candle.
Yin Zhu"s expression changed slightly as cold sweat seeped out of his forehead. He then forced a smile and said, "Four hundred and eighty "Nether Immortal Stones". I won"t be able to take any more."
"That"s more like it!"
Jiu Ling nodded in satisfaction. "Bring it over."
The yin candle clenched his teeth, opened his mouth, and spat out fist-sized b.a.l.l.s of black shadows, which then floated in front of the nine spirits as though they were nothing. They were exactly the same kind of black stone that Tang Huan had seen in the market before. After a while, there were close to five hundred "Netherworld Immortal Stones" in front of Jiu Ling.
"Hu!"
With a wave of her hand, all of the "Netherworld Immortal Stones" disappeared. It was obvious that they were all absorbed into the s.p.a.ce within her body.
Candle"s face twitched a few times, feeling as if her heart was bleeding.
Seeing his expression, Tang Huan couldn"t help but laugh inside his heart.
With hundreds of immortal stones in her hands, Jiu Ling was no longer interested in wasting time with the candle. She waved her hand disdainfully. "Lecherous snake, since you"re giving me compensation, I won"t bother with it anymore. Now, you can scram." With that, Jiu Ling"s gaze landed on the Kui Cow again. "Kui Cow, are you coming to visit your father?"
"Alright, I still have a lot of questions to ask you." The Kui Cow"s head was nodding like a rattle.
"..."
Opening the door, twelve figures entered the palace hall.
Outside the hall, the dark candles" faces were already livid and incomparably unsightly.
However, he did not expect the Kui Cow to appear. What was even more unexpected was that the relations.h.i.+p between the Kui Cow and the Nine Spirits was so close that not only did he not achieve his wish, he even lost a lot of immortal stones.
Four hundred and eighty "Netherworld Immortal Stones" were all he had.
After coming to Dongming City for the past few days, he had changed all his belongings to the "Nether Celestial Stone". Originally, he thought that after obtaining so many immortal stones, his cultivation would be able to improve a lot, however, he didn"t even have time to refine a single one before they no longer belonged to him.
At this moment, he even had the impulse to vomit blood.
He hatefully looked towards the depths of the palace, squinted his eyes, and turned around with an ashen face.
Within the inner hall, Nine Spirits and the Kui Cow were already sitting cross-legged. However, even if the Kui Cow sat down, it would still look like a small mountain. In front of him, the little girl Nine Spirits were pitifully small, their bodies not even as thick as the Kui Cow"s arms.
Tang Huan sat below the two of them, and as for the other nine undeads, they were left at the door. Therefore, Tang Huan noticed that eighteen gazes full of jealousy and envy were fixed on her back from time to time. Tang Huan found it funny, but she remained calm and didn"t move at all.
"Kui Cow, do you know if His Majesty, the Eastern Emperor, will partic.i.p.ate in this" Royal Spirit Ceremony "?"
Hearing this, Tang Huan also subconsciously looked towards the Kui Cow.
This was the issue that he and the nine spirits were most concerned about half a year ago. However, compared to half a year ago, the current situation was different. Since he had already reached the small success stage of the "Dragon Tiger Celestial Art", even if the Eastern Emperor appeared, Tang Huan was confident that he would not reveal his weak points.
"Of course not!"
"Unless something special happens, His Majesty the Eastern Emperor will never appear for the "Royal Spirit Ceremony". According to the information I"ve received, His Majesty the Eastern Emperor is currently cultivating in seclusion, and it"s likely that he won"t be able to come out within a year." So, this time it"s still the Elder who will be in charge. "
