Chapter 435 - 435 435 Emperor Xi's Conditions Third Update

435: Chapter 435 Emperor Xi’s Conditions (Third Update) 435: Chapter 435 Emperor Xi’s Conditions (Third Update) “What about my friends?”

Long Yan was most concerned about Long Chen, Zhan Wushuang, Lingxi’s safety.

Although he knew they were temporarily out of danger, it was just temporary; in the Snake People’s territory, anything could happen.

“Your friends have entered the Snake People’s forbidden land and are still inside.”

Emperor Xi replied softly.

“Snake People’s forbidden land, what kind of place is that?”

Long Yan hurriedly asked.

Forbidden land usually indicates a very dangerous place.

“I can see that you care a lot about your friends.”

Emperor Xi still had a smile on his face, showing nobility between his smiles and frowns.

This aura made even Lingxi and Bai Ling appear slightly inferior.

He then explained, “The Snake People’s forbidden land is not dangerous but a cultivation sacred land.

No one in the entire Snake People, except for me, can enter.

Your friends are extraordinary and capable of breaking into the forbidden land on their own.

Those who trespass into forbidden land shall die!

However, I do not have any intention of making things difficult for them at the moment.”

Upon hearing this, Long Yan felt slightly relieved – at least, for now, Long Chen and the others were not in immediate danger.

“What are your terms?”

Long Yan naturally heard the meaning behind Emperor Xi’s words and asked directly.

“As someone who has broken through the Nine-Fold Slaughter Prison, I can give you a chance to save your friends.”

Pausing, Emperor Xi continued, “The condition is simple: I can spare your friends and even let them cultivate in the forbidden land.

After they come out, I can let them leave the Snake People clan, with one precondition – you have to obtain the Reverse Flame Demon Soul for me.”

“Reverse Flame Demon Soul!”

Long Yan’s expression changed.

He naturally knew what the Reverse Flame Demon Soul was; it was recorded in the Beast Spirit Record.

The Reverse Flame Demon Soul was very rare – an innate spiritual being, one could say.

Its biggest function was to purify the demon race’s bloodline and stimulate bloodline power.

For some ancient beasts, the Reverse Flame Demon Soul was an absolute treasure.

With its baptism, a pureblood ancient beast could possibly evolve into a true blood ancient beast.

The value of the Reverse Flame Demon Soul was astonishing.

If it appeared in the Emperor Domain, it would likely attract the competition of the demon race powerhouses.

“Change the condition.

I can’t possibly obtain the Reverse Flame Demon Soul.”

Reverse Flame Demon Soul was extremely rare; even if it existed, it wouldn’t be his turn to obtain it.

For him to get a Reverse Flame Demon Soul would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

“The condition I’ve stated is naturally something you can manage.

I know a place where there are Reverse Flame Demon Souls; you just have to fetch it.”

Emperor Xi said.

“You really think highly of me.”

Long Yan gave a bitter smile.

It was clear that the Reverse Flame Demon Soul was important to Emperor Xi.

He was an emperor-level strong, and if it was that easy to obtain, he would have already done so.

Besides, the Snake People clan was not lacking in strong individuals.

If Emperor Xi couldn’t obtain what he wanted, it would be like sending him to his death, right?

“I’m not sending you to your death, of course.”

Emperor Xi saw Long Yan’s thoughts and explained, “There is a large ancient battlefield that is home to not just the Snake People, Winged Tribe, and Barbarian tribes, but also many powerful demonic beasts and the Demon Clan.

Near the Barbarian Tribe’s territory, there is a Demon’s Cave inhabited by the Demon Clan.

The cave is guarded by the Demon Clan powerhouses’ prohibition, and neither the Snake People, Winged Tribe, Barbarians, nor the demonic beasts can enter it.

Only human martial artists and the Demon Clan can pass through the prohibition freely.”

“There’s a Reverse Flame Demon Soul in the Demon’s Cave?”

Long Yan had already guessed it.

Although he didn’t know the specifics of the Demon’s Cave, Long Yan understood that it must be very dangerous.

“Correct!”

Emperor Xi nodded slightly, “Inside the Demon’s Cave, there is a Beast Burial Ground, and there is a Reverse Flame Demon Soul.”

“Beast Burial Ground.”

Long Yan’s eyebrows furrowed but then relaxed.

“I have a condition.”

The Demon’s Cave is extremely dangerous, and finding the Beast Burial Ground within it is like dancing on the edge of a knife.

Furthermore, even if he truly found the Beast Burial Ground, he couldn’t be completely confident in suppressing the Reverse Flame Demon Soul.

The Reverse Flame Demon Soul wasn’t some medicinal material or heavenly treasure that could simply be found and taken.

“What conditions?”

Emperor Xi asked.

“I will do my best to obtain the Reverse Flame Demon Soul for you, but no matter the outcome, you cannot harm my friends.

If they emerge from the Forbidden Land, you must unconditionally let them leave,” Long Yan said.

Obtaining the Reverse Flame Demon Soul was as difficult as reaching the heavens, and he had no confidence in his success.

Of course, he would do his best.

Regardless of the outcome, he did not want Long Chen and the others to be in danger.

This way, he wouldn’t have to worry about their safety.

“This emperor can agree to these conditions.”

Emperor Xi nodded slightly and said, “You are a person who has passed through the Nine-Fold Slaughter Prison, so I believe you can obtain the Reverse Flame Demon Soul.

When you bring it back to me, I will give you a gift.”

Emperor Xi had great confidence in Long Yan.

“Tell me, where is the Demon’s Cave?”

Long Yan asked.

“Xi Mantis will take you there.

I will wait here for your good news,” Emperor Xi said.

“Farewell!”

Then, Long Yan left the palace.

After leaving the palace, Xi Mantis led Long Yan away from the Snake People’s territory.

In half an hour’s time, the two of them arrived atop a mountain peak.

“Follow this direction and keep going straight ahead.

If nothing unexpected happens, you’ll reach the Demon’s Cave in no more than ten days,” Xi Mantis pointed in the direction of the Demon’s Cave and said to Long Yan.

Long Yan nodded slightly, and then prepared to head towards the Demon’s Cave right away.

“Wait.”

Xi Mantis stopped Long Yan.

“Do you have anything else?” Long Yan asked, glancing at Xi Mantis indifferently.

“Kid, can’t you treat me a little better?”

Xi Mantis said, and then reached out to grab the Imprisoned Dragon Pillar, erasing the soul imprint inside it and tossing it to Long Yan.

“Take this with you.”

With the Imprisoned Dragon Pillar in hand, Long Yan would have an extra layer of protection in the Demon’s Cave.

“This was originally mine,” Long Yan caught the Imprisoned Dragon Pillar and put it away.

He was somewhat surprised that Xi Mantis returned the Imprisoned Dragon Pillar to him.

“The things that belonged to me have never been given back.

I took a liking to you, so I’ll return this Imprisoned Dragon Pillar to you,” Xi Mantis said.

“Just a friendly reminder, try not to provoke those Barbarian Tribe guys.

They’re all crazy.

If you provoke them, you probably won’t make it to the Demon’s Cave alive.”

“Farewell.”

He lightly uttered the two words, then flashed away and flew off.

“This stubborn temperament is exactly like mine back when I was young,” Watching Long Yan’s disappearing figure, Xi Mantis said with a faint smile.

“Kid, this is Emperor Xi’s test for you.

Don’t let him down.”
