Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 162

Chapter 162: Mei Qianmeng’s Olive Branch

Ding ling ling–

A familiar sound could be heard. It was the crisp sound of the bells clanging against each other.

At the same time, the red gauze outlined a woman’s beautiful figure. Just her watery eyes outside were enough to topple kingdoms and cities.

“Long time no see, Young Master Gu.”

Gu Xi did not expect that the first person to arrive here would be Mei Qianmeng. At this moment, she was smiling sweetly. She did not look like the ruthless person who had set Gu Xi up in the Ten Thousand Dragons Formation.

As if nothing had ever happened, she walked over with a smile. This made Gu Xi admire her greatly. Mei Qianmeng was not afraid that he would hold a grudge and then fight her to the death.

However, who would have the heart to face such a pitiful beauty?

Mei Qianmeng bit her red lips, “I can explain what happened in the Ten Thousand Dragons Formation.”

Unfortunately, Gu Xi did not fall for it. “Holy Maiden, please wait. After all, I can’t be so lucky as to survive your schemes so many times.”

Mei Qianmeng’s expression froze. She had expected Gu Xi to be brooding over the previous incident, but she did not expect him to directly expose it. She was completely caught off guard.

…

However, she quickly regained her composure and said calmly, “Young Master Gu, you must be joking. What kind of misunderstanding is this?”

“Misunderstanding? That’s not what you said when you attacked me back then.”

Seeing that she could not win him over, Mei Qianmeng changed her strategy and went straight to the point. “I’m here for the other half of the Dragon Ball.”

Gu Xi revealed a mocking smile. “I’m afraid it’s not that simple.”

With such a huge commotion happening here, why would Mei Qianmeng be here for the Dragon Ball?

Mei Qianmeng, who had her worries exposed, did not care. Her smile was mysterious and dangerous, like a poppy flower, causing people to fall into it without knowing.

“You’re a real talent, but a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. You’ve obtained such a precious treasure, I’m afraid that the Righteous path will not be able to tolerate you. Now that they’ve all rushed over, you won’t be able to escape unscathed.”

“If you join my Demon Region, I will definitely protect you. As long as you hand over that half of the Dragon Ball and pledge your loyalty to the Demon Region.”

Mei Qianmeng was holding out an olive branch, and it had to be said that the offer was rather tempting. As long as he gave her the other half of the Dragon Ball, he would be able to resolve the immediate crisis. Gu Xi could keep the rest of the treasure for himself.

Anyone with eyes could see how powerful the bead in the light pillar was, but Mei Qianmeng said that she would give it up.

However, Gu Xi did not need the help of the Demon Region. When the System extraction was complete, he would be able to control the Secret Realm through the Heart of Chaos. This would be his home ground.

Moreover, it was not likely that he would end up with a good ending. The Ten Thousand Dragons Formation was the best example. Gu Xi would not have fallen for it back then, and he would not fall for it now.

Seeing that Gu Xi did not speak, Mei Qianmeng thought that he was tempted. She said, “How about it? Do you want to consider it?”

“Thank you for your kind intentions, Holy Maiden.”

However, she was rejected by Gu Xi without hesitation.

The smile on Mei Qianmeng’s face faded. Her bright and delicate face revealed a sense of danger. “Don’t refuse my offer. When that group of people comes, they might not be as easy to talk to as I am.”

Gu Xi was completely impervious to both soft and hard tactics. “Then there’s no need for the Holy Maiden to worry.”

Mei Qianmeng glared at him hatefully as if she had sensed something. Her figure disappeared into the air, leaving behind a sentence of unwillingness. “I’d like to see how you’ll face those Orthodox cultivators later!”

At the same time, the Star Viewing Pavilion, Ethereal Illusion Mansion, and other major forces also rushed to the scene. When they saw that the person next to the pillar of light was actually Gu Xi, they could not help but show a stunned expression.

At this moment, they also saw a mysterious bead inside the light pillar.

“This kid is very strange. He always gets there first.”

It was the case with the dragon skeleton from before, and now, it was also the case with the light pillar. For a moment, everyone had a complicated look on their faces. This brat was too lucky.

Looking around, the golden dragons were not beside Gu Xi. No one thought too much about it. “Kid, get lost. If you know what’s good for you, take out the bead next to you. Hand it over together with the golden dragon.”

These people were coming at him aggressively. Almost all the people in the Secret Realm had gathered here. It was even more spectacular than the fight for the Enlightenment Tea leaves and the dragon skeleton.

Gu Xi was not afraid at all. “These are all my things. Why should I give them to you?”

Everyone seemed to have heard the biggest joke. “There is no such thing as first come, first served in the Secret Realm. Those who are capable will get them. Do you think you can defeat us alone?”

At this moment, Gu Xi was surrounded by a pack of wolves. The others could be ignored, but there were a few powerful spiritual fluctuations that he had to guard against. Even if Gu Xi had extraordinary strength, to fight against these hundred people, he would probably have to expend a lot of effort.

However, the System’s extraction had already reached 80%. As long as he could buy a little more time, when the extraction of the Heart of Chaos was completed, he would be able to control the Secret Realm and deal with this group of people with ease.

“How do we know if we don’t try?”

Previously, the Ancient Sect’s Meng Hang had suffered a great loss at Gu Xi’s hands. Everyone had witnessed with their own eyes how he had been defeated in one move, and he had lost terribly. They knew that Gu Xi was not easy to deal with.

If they were to fight with him, it would allow others to reap the benefits. It would not be worth it. Some sects and factions wanted to be peacemakers.

“Why is everyone so tense? Why don’t we sit down and have a talk?”

Gu Xi was aware of the scheming tactics within the sects. There were probably tens of thousands of schemers in this group of people.

“They’re all here for the treasure. Do you dare to say that you don’t want it? Why are you talking about this nonsense? Why don’t you just fight me?!”
