I Pick Up A Bunch Of Attributes Novel - Chapter 270
270 Unexpected!
Before deciding to make contact with Feng Xia, Chi Yanli had already drafted a plan in his mind.
Regarding this mysterious young man who was able to ignore the divine light of the Heavenly Stairway, he more or less had an idea of the kind of request the man would make.
For example, just like what happened to the few demon beasts who went forward earlier, Feng Xia would probably want to beat him up.
Although such a request sounded really rude, if he could exchange it for an Immortal Breaking Talisman in return…
It was not completely unacceptable.
!!
Chi Yanli had already decided that after obtaining the Immortal Breaking Talisman, if anyone dared to mock him, he would beat up Shuang Xueming on the Heavenly Stairway… oh nope, he would beat up whoever it was.
Therefore, before Feng Xia spoke, Chi Yanli was already quite sure that no matter what request he heard, he would not be too surprised.
However…
“Xia… Xia Donghai… Are you sure?”
In an instant, Chi Yanli’s jaw dropped.
The flames surrounding his body danced randomly, emitting a series of crackling sounds, reflecting the faint light in the depths of his eyes.
“Naturally I’m sure.”
Feng Xia nodded casually.
“But, but your request is really…” Chi Yanli hesitantly sized up the young man in front of him. The other party’s expression was very calm, his tone was indifferent, and his eyes were as calm as the water in an ancient well.
He did not look like a lunatic at all.
Yet…
Feng Xia actually made such a request!
“Do I look like a lunatic to you?”
Feng Xia looked at Chi Yanli with a smile. “If something does not benefit me or I don’t have confidence in it, why would I mention it so easily?”
“You certainly don’t look like one.”
After sizing up Feng Xia a few times, Chi Yanli nodded slightly. Halfway through his sentence, he revealed a trace of hesitation again. “But it seems a little similar to…”
Feng Xia: “…”
Do you think you’re Schrödinger?
He did not know whether to laugh or cry as he shook his head. His expression darkened slightly as he said, “Fellow practitioner Chi Yanli, I’ll place this Immortal Breaking Talisman here. If you’re interested, you can make a soul blood oath in front of me. Pretend to have lost to me and then act according to what you promised after that.”
A soul blood oath was a rather vicious oath.
Using the soul as the base and the blood as a guide, once one broke the oath, it would cause the curse to erupt and contaminate the soul and bloodline. Although it was something that could end up being avoided, it was still enough to make one wish one was dead when it happened.
“If that’s the case…”
Chi Yanli’s gaze gradually became firm.
The world only thought that he was the successor being nurtured by the Crimson Crow Clan and had obtained the recognition of the Divine Fusang Wood. They did not know that he also carried with him the burden of saving the Crimson Crow Clan.
This was because… the Divine Fusang Wood was gradually regaining its consciousness!
Everyone thought that the Divine Fusang Wood was the ultimate treasure of the Crimson Crow Clan. It suppressed Tanggu and connected heaven and earth. If one obtained the recognition of the Divine Fusang Wood, one could become the next clan leader of the Crimson Crow Clan.
However, only the Crimson Crow Clan knew that the Divine Fusang Wood did not completely belong to the clan.
Perhaps it had once shared mutual benefits with the Scarlet Crow Clan and it had also taken root in Tanggu for a long time. However, the consciousness that was gradually awakening now was one that was only left with terrifying chaos and madness.
If it were to wake up completely, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“I, Chi Yanli, swear on my soul…”
After careful consideration, Chi Yanli raised his hand and patted his chest. A drop of bright red blood flew out, surging with sizzling heat. As he spoke, it quickly condensed into a curse mark.
Then, the mark entered the area between his eyebrows and seemed to fuse with his soul before slowly disappearing.
The soul blood oath was complete.
“Well then.”
Feng Xia picked up the Immortal Breaking Talisman beside him and looked at Chi Yanli eagerly. “Fellow practitioner Chi Yanli, let’s begin.”
“Alright!” Chi Yanli nodded calmly.
The next moment.
The demons outside held their breaths and focused. Suddenly, they saw a huge demon bird fly up. Its wings covered the sun as five-colored flames soared into the sky. Blazing flames spread out violently into the surroundings, burning the ground and melting it. Many living beings found themselves having difficulty breathing!
“Xia Donghai, don’t go too far! Do you really think I, Chi Yanli, am a pushover?!”
The demon bird made use of the flames liberally. All the living beings felt another vast sun appear above their heads in an instant!
The Crimson Crow Clan of Tanggu had the bloodline of the Primordial Golden Crow and were born to be the masters of the Great Dao of the Sun!
“Huh?”
Shuang Xueming was secretly observing the situation in his snow-covered Heaven Seat mystical realm. He felt suffocated for a moment, and then he could not help himself from smiling. “Xia Donghai oh Xia Donghai, you’re really too showy. You don’t even know how to restrain yourself after offending the Holy Son. You actually come here again and offend us too!”
In his opinion, the reason for Chi Yanli’s outburst was very simple.
—The negotiations fell through!
With Xia Donghai’s arrogant attitude, it was obvious that he must have requested Chi Yanli for something embarrassing and intolerable.
As the favored son of the Crimson Crow Clan, how could Chi Yanli accept those ridiculous requests?
“Hmph, get lost—”
On the Heavenly Stairway, a dazzling golden divine light smashed down from the sky, streaking across like a supreme sword light. The brilliant light spanned thousands of feet and smashed into Chi Yanli. Broken feathers flew everywhere and the demon bird fell back into his Heaven Seat mystical realm!
“Young master—”
Inside the miniature mystical realm, a figure hurriedly came forward and blocked the momentum of Chi Yanli’s tumbling body.
“How dare Xia Donghai?!” That figure was angry and anxious, releasing a trace of aura and wanted to rush to the Heavenly Stairway to fight Feng Xia to the death.
“Luo’er, calm down.”
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Chi Yanli used his wings to stop her. At the same time, he spoke in a low voice. “This is part of the deal.”
The figure widened her eyes. “The… deal? Young master, did you sell yourself…”
“He will give me the Immortal Breaking Talisman, and I…”
Chi Yanli shook his head and used his magical power to block others from seeing them. “I have to pretend to lose to him once. At the same time, I have agreed to one request…”
“Fellow practitioner Feng, are you going to give him the Immortal Breaking Talisman just like that?”
On the Heavenly Stairway, Mo Lianque’s voice rang out in Feng Xia’s mind. It was filled with confusion and anxiety. “That’s an Immortal Breaking Talisman. It’s better that you keep it for yourself than…”
“I still have more than 10.”
Feng Xia’s indifferent words silenced Mo Lianque. He was stunned for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence in a daze, “Then what request did fellow practitioner Feng make to Chi Yanli?”
“A very simple request.”
Feng Xia grinned, his expression as calm as still water, and he said serenely, “I asked him to gang up with the Holy Son and attack me, and then… break my Primal Core.”
