Chapter 118 Finally Meeting, Just for Eight Million Eight Hundred Eighty Thousand

Zhong Liwu wore an expression of surprise, "Oh, Xuan Zi actually made such a decisive move? I thought that with his character, he would have come to blows directly with the envoys from the three great Empires."

"Yes, this is something I didn't expect either. It seems that after experiencing these events, Xuan Zi has matured compared to before. He has become calm and good at thinking; I'm afraid he's going to become a formidable enemy," the thin and lanky middle-aged man said with great worry.

However, Zhong Liwu just smiled and shook his head, "No, he won't. Think about it, he has already embarked on the path of an evil Soul Master, even killing more people than a typical evil Soul Master. Can he still turn back?

"On the entire Soul Land, apart from our Holy Spirit Cult, where else would accept Xuan Zi? If he becomes our enemy again, then Xuan Zi will truly be against the whole world. No matter how vast this world is, there will be no place for Xuan Zi to stand, and he will find it difficult to make a move."

The thin and lanky middle-aged man asked again, "Then, what does the Sect Hierarch mean...?"

He had some ideas and guesses in his heart, but this was no trivial matter, and he wasn't certain.

Zhong Liwu spoke indifferently, "My thoughts are very simple, send someone to contact Xuan Zi. Tell him that our Holy Spirit Cult is willing to accept him. If he wants to survive, his only option is to join our Holy Spirit Cult."

As expected, the Sect Hierarch had ambitious designs, wishing to make Xuan Zi submit... The thin and lanky subordinate shuddered in his heart.

If Zhong Liwu's plan could truly be realized, with Xuan Zi, a Level 98 super powerhouse joining, then the strength of the Holy Spirit Cult would absolutely skyrocket.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go handle it."

Zhong Liwu loudly reminded.

"Yes, yes, I will handle it right away," the thin and lanky subordinate replied and quickly scurried away.

...

Sun-Moon Empire.

Royal Soul Master Academy.

Heavy rain.

Qin Xiao walked on the rain-soaked flagstone path, muttering to himself, "This really is strange weather. When I left, it was clear, and now it's suddenly raining? Bad luck."

Fortunately, he had a soul tool umbrella that formed a screen of light over him, protecting him perfectly, not a single raindrop touched him.

Soon, he arrived in front of the experimental building.

"Qin Xiao!"

An excited voice suddenly erupted beside Qin Xiao, and a figure darted in front of him, giving him a fright.

"Where did this drenched chicken come from!"

Wang Dong: "..."

"Qin Xiao, it's me, I'm Wang Dong, can't you take a closer look?"

"Wang Dong?"

Qin Xiao hadn't initially thought in that direction, but now upon closer inspection... well, actually...

You wouldn't believe it, but it really was Wang Dong.

"How come you are here?" Qin Xiao asked, puzzled.

Logically, Wang Dong should be at Shrek Academy.

Even if the situation was unstable, he should have returned to the Hao Tian Clan. How did he end up at the Sun-Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy and appear in front of himself?

"I... I..."

Upon seeing Qin Xiao, Wang Dong became somewhat bashful.

He wanted to ask for Qin Xiao's help, but found it difficult to voice the request now that it came to it.

"If you don't have anything, I'm going to get busy," said Qin Xiao, ready to walk past Wang Dong.

"Wait, there is something I want to ask for your help with."

Provoked by Qin Xiao's words, Wang Dong finally expressed his inner thoughts.

He had come all the way from Shrek Academy to the Sun-Moon Empire just to seek Qin Xiao's help.

Having finally encountered Qin Xiao, of course he couldn't let the opportunity slip by.

"Speak, what is it?"

"My curse has recurred, and it destroyed the amulet you gave me."

What? Hearing this, Qin Xiao's eyebrows shot up.

He realized that something significant might have happened.

You should know, the amulet contained the power of the Destruction God. Although not very strong, its level was extremely high.

Only a power of the same level could break through it.

That is to say, Tang San himself had taken action.

"Do you have any other sensations?" Qin Xiao didn't rush to approach Wang Dong but instead maintained a certain distance.

At the same time, his spiritual power extended like invisible tendrils, probing Wang Dong's body.

Wang Dong replied somewhat listlessly, "There's no special feeling, just like before, I detest soul tools to the extreme. I simply can't use them anymore."

"But I know that, deep down, I really love soul tools. With your help before, I managed to carve out a first-class formation core, and I was about to successfully create my own first-class soul guide."

As he spoke, the listlessness in his eyes turned into a look of pain.

Having gained and then lost it, this kind of pain made it difficult for Wang Dong to bear.

"To tell the truth, I regret it. If I had known it would turn out like this, I would rather never have come into contact with soul tools," he said, then lowered his head, the light in his eyes rapidly fading into darkness.

Seeing this, Qin Xiao couldn't help but snicker inwardly.

Seeing his own daughter, just one step away from becoming a soul master, the Tang God-King must feel extremely surprised, right?

Whether he has coughed up blood or not is another matter.

"And he should have discovered my Destruction God Power by now," Qin Xiao thought.

"By the looks of things, that Destruction God of the Divine Realm has probably become my scapegoat."

Having not found any other contingencies on Tang San, Qin Xiao guessed that Tang San must have gone to seek justice from the perpetrator.

He hoped the Destruction God could delay for a while longer, giving him a chance to grow.

Qin Xiao knew that Tang San was always watching over Soul Land, and once his power reached the limit of what Soul Land could hold, Tang San would surely notice his existence.

Having the Destruction God to attract fire was very beneficial to his growth.

Besides, Shrek Academy, the Hao Tian Clan, the original Three Kingdoms of Douluo, and the Sun-Moon Empire were all his pawns.

Of course, that included Princess Tang before him.

Qin Xiao said, "Don't be disappointed or lose heart. You've come thousands of miles to find me, and I won't be unreasonable in my actions."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong suddenly looked up, his eyes sparkling with renewed vigor, "You, you really are willing to help me?"

A hesitant look appeared on Qin Xiao's face, making it seem as though he was in a tough spot.

Offering unsolicited help often arouses suspicion of having ulterior motives.

Having a clear agenda can be more comforting.

A thought struck Wang Dong, "I understand. This matter is a bit difficult, so we need to add more money, right?"

Qin Xiao: "??"

This guy, he's even beating me to the punch?

Still, Qin Xiao nodded with a guilty conscience, "Yes, as you know, the second outbreak of your curse was much more powerful than the first. To suppress it again, the cost will definitely be much higher than before..."

Money lost can be earned back, but without a conscience, even more can be earned.

"You don't need to name a price. This is all I have, see if it's enough," Wang Dong said.

Wang Dong directly took out several Black Cards from his bosom and stuffed them into Qin Xiao's hands.

Looking at them, Qin Xiao observed that the figures on these cards were all zeroes.

Without further explanation, it was clear this was no small amount.

"This is eight million eight hundred and eighty thousand, all my savings. It's also an auspicious number, do you think it's enough?" Wang Dong asked with hope.

In fact, his previous funds had long been swindled by Qin Xiao.

This was money he had obtained afterwards from the Hao Tian Clan.

However, his father, the leader of the Hao Tian Clan, clearly asked in their correspondence, "Why are you spending money so quickly? Your second father and I suspect you're on drugs," and then listed a whole host of dangers associated with drug abuse.

"Whether it's enough, I can't say for sure. Let's try it first, but you should also prepare yourself that if the money isn't enough, you'll have to figure out what to do," Qin Xiao said without giving a definitive answer, but also without denying.

After all, one must harvest the leeks one batch at a time.

Nurture them first; there was no rush.

"Thank you, thank you, you're quite a good person," Wang Dong said, having doled out eight million eight hundred and eighty thousand golden soul coins and holding no resentment against Qin Xiao, instead expressing his gratitude.

Ding, Wang Dong has played the nice guy card on you... Qin Xiao smiled, "All right, go back for now. Wait for me here in two days, and there should be a result by then."

"Okay, I'll wait for you," Wang Dong said, full of anticipation.

He dreamed of himself as a powerful Ninth-Level Soul Master.
