Chapter 1085: Chapter 1079: The Task of Tricking People

"So, I can only get the Ice Soul Blood Lotus if I help the Pure Yang Palace retrieve those Eight Great Divine Artifacts?" Li Changlin furrowed his brows, a troubled task indeed. He had some understanding of the Eight Great Divine Artifacts; the last time he had encountered Cheng Dahai wielding the Blazing Flame Spear by mere doggone luck, but the whereabouts of the other Divine Artifacts remained unknown.

"It’s not the Eight Great Divine Artifacts, it’s the Ten Great Divine Artifacts." Ye Haoshen said bitterly smiling, the appetite of the Pure Yang Palace was not small; now they not only wanted to retrieve the lost Eight Great Divine Artifacts, but damn it, they even wanted to get their hands on the Xuanyuan Sword and the Sky-opening Axe, truly insatiable!

"Ten Great Divine Artifacts, damn it, where do I even start looking, I have no clue whatsoever!" Li Changlin was so frustrated he felt like spitting blood. If he had a choice, he really didn’t want to take on this task.

Damn it, that’s a Divine Artifact! The last time just the Blazing Flame Spear nearly did him in. The spear wasn’t even ranked high, and there are six or seven other artifacts that are even more powerful than it, especially the Xuanyuan Sword and the Sky-opening Axe; they are truly extraordinary existences, and who knows who in power or which individual they are with now, where is he supposed to find them!

"According to my speculation, the Eight Great Divine Artifacts might be in the hands of the Capital City Eight Great Aristocratic Families. But there’s something I need to tell you, Changlin, that Blazing Flame Spear you obtained last time was not a real Divine Artifact, it was just a replica." Ye Haoshen provided a clue, but his following words made Li Changlin feel like vomiting blood.

Damn it, it’s a replica! Bloody hell, it nearly killed The Nearly Divine Tycoon last time!

At this moment, Li Changlin really felt like cursing.

It’s a total trap, seriously death-trap without repentance!

"Grandfather Ye, I’m not strong enough, how can I contend with such massive power as the Eight Great Families! Moreover, Xi Yao’s time is running out, in just over four months she’ll be twenty-four, do you really think I can handle the Eight Great Families within four months!" Li Changlin was so upset he wanted to spit blood, having seen traps but never one as gaping as this.

That damn Pure Yang Palace, using his Xi Yao as leverage, utterly shameless!

"That’s why I chose to secretly take you away." It turned out that all these had been calculated by Ye Haoshen long ago; when he lived in Nanfu Province with Ye Xiyao, he accidentally discovered Li Changlin’s identity and took the opportunity when Fu Mandie was shopping to steal away Li Changlin, then left him at the doorstep of Jiang Yiyun’s house to be taken in—the entire thing had been planned by Ye Haoshen.

Listening to Ye Haoshen’s words, Li Changlin was absolutely speechless, he hadn’t expected Ye Haoshen to be such a plotter.

It’s definitely a bitter heartache, since because of Ye Haoshen’s actions, he had been separated from his parents for twenty years and had never received fatherly love since childhood.

Although Jiang Yiyun was impeccable towards Li Changlin, and later, to help Li Changlin find his biological parents, even went so far as to use all the savings left by Qiu Yingying’s parents to send Li Changlin to the music academy, all just so he could make a name for himself earlier and be recognized by his parents.

But all these could never replace the love of a father!

Ye Haoshen didn’t know that Li Changlin had experienced many unforgettable hardships since his childhood.

During his school days, whenever Li Changlin was bullied by his classmates and called a child without a father, the pain in his heart was indescribable and beyond anyone’s understanding.

However, Li Changlin’s feelings for Ye Xiyao were incredibly genuine.

This girl loved him and would sacrifice everything that originally belonged to her just for him. In front of Li Changlin, Ye Xiyao could even forsake her own dignity, all because Li Changlin was the Brother Changlin who had protected her since childhood.

Therefore, Li Changlin certainly could not give up on saving Ye Xiyao just because of the things Ye Haoshen had done to him in the past.

Under such circumstances, did Li Changlin really have a choice?

No, for his beloved, even if he was reluctant, he had no choice but to compromise at this moment.

"I will do my best to retrieve the Ten Great Divine Artifacts for them, but I can’t guarantee the time frame, so I hope the Pure Yang Palace can hand over the Ice Soul Snow Lotus first. Grandfather Ye, you can assure the people of the Pure Yang Palace that I stake my own life on fulfilling this promise, no matter what the cost, I guarantee that I will bring back the Ten Great Divine Artifacts!" In the end, Li Changlin accepted Ye Haoshen’s demand and also put forward his own condition.

Ye Haoshen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No, they won’t agree to it. If you want to save Xi Yao, you must first retrieve the Ten Great Divine Artifacts. Otherwise, the only outcome for Xi Yao might just be death."

In fact, Ye Haoshen had already put forward a similar condition before the cooperation, but the other party directly refused. They clearly grasped Ye Haoshen’s weak point, leaving him no room to refuse.

Indeed, when you think about it, in order to save Ye Xiyao, Ye Haoshen was even prepared to sacrifice his own life, which shows how important Ye Xiyao was to him. The people of the Pure Yang Palace are no fools, how could they hand over the Ice Soul Snow Lotus, which has been a treasured possession cultivated for hundreds of years, when they haven’t received what they want? Its value is comparable even to the already damaged Divine Artifacts!

Li Changlin was unable to persuade Ye Haoshen, and even if he had managed to persuade Ye Haoshen, it would have been futile, because the Ice Soul Snow Lotus had already been taken by the people of the Pure Yang Palace. To get the Ice Soul Snow Lotus, he must hand over the Ten Great Divine Artifacts, or else it was out of the question.

"Alright, I will definitely retrieve the Ten Great Divine Artifacts!" Finally, Li Changlin gritted his teeth and accepted the task, realizing that this so-called God Tycoon Cultivation System was not really about helping people make money or achieving some extravagant lifestyle.

Damn it, what a scam. All of this was just to give him a chance to earn popularity, and then use the popularity to exchange for various items; or to say, this deceiving system also needed to utilize popularity to operate normally.

Li Changlin didn’t want to dwell on these things any longer, nor did he want to say anything more to Ye Haoshen. He directly closed the video chat and exited the System.

After putting away his phone, Li Changlin pushed the door and went out into the hall, where Yang Fei was reciting the secrets of the Nine Yang Divine Art, word for word.

Upon seeing him come out, Zhou Wendong softly called out "Master", and Yang Fei also looked up and called out. Li Changlin waved his hand and smiled, "Keep reciting, don’t waste time. Once you’ve memorized it, practice according to what Wendong has taught you. You now have less than three months, and by the time you face Sun Ji’an in battle, I hope you can truly astonish everyone."
