888: Chapter 888 Purple Crystal_1 888: Chapter 888 Purple Crystal_1 “What on earth do you want?”

The Godson’s face became a bit embarrassed, the words seemingly squeezing out through gritted teeth.

“To be frank, you are the Junior Palace Master of the Supreme Hall, while I am a mere nobody.

I don’t want to offend such a behemoth like the Supreme Hall, so I don’t want to kill you yet.”

Upon saying this, Long Yan deliberately paused before continuing, “But I do have principles.

If you want to survive, it’s not impossible.

You just have to agree to one condition.”

If he had wanted to kill the Godson, the Godson would not be alive now.

This time, he wasn’t planning on killing the Godson either.

“What’s the condition?”

The Godson felt a slight relief in his heart, at least his life was spared for now.

“Kneel in front of me.”

A smirk formed at the corner of Long Yan’s mouth as he slowly uttered these five words.

That was his condition.

As long as the Godson knelt in front of him, he would spare his life.

“What?”

The Godson’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

Given his status, if he were to kneel before Long Yan, how could he continue living with any dignity?

He represented the Supreme Hall and neither he nor the Supreme Hall could afford to lose face like this.

He had not expected Long Yan’s condition to be this, It was effectively trampling on his dignity.

“Long Yan, dream on, you might as well kill me instead.”

The Godson’s face twisted in rage as he practically roared out the words.

“Do you think I wouldn’t dare?

The Supreme Hall would still have another Junior Palace Master without you.”

Long Yan’s facial expression had started to recede and his tone grew colder, even carrying a hint of a threatening aura.

“Why waste words on him, just kill him and it’s done,”

Had the decision rested with Lei Xiaotian, the Godson would probably have been killed countless times over.

“Junior Palace Master, maybe you should just kneel.”

At this moment, Ji Shaobai spoke up.

“You…”

The Godson turned to look at Ji Shaobai, expressing an air of disappointment.

“Junior Palace Master, if you die, I won’t live either.

If the Supreme Hall finds out we were killed by Long Yan, there would still be a chance for revenge if we survive.

You should think about this.”

Ji Shaobai explained.

In reality, he knew that Long Yan wouldn’t kill him, but if Long Yan were to kill the Godson, he would absolutely not be able to keep it a secret.

Consequently, the rage of the Supreme Hall would undoubtedly descend upon Long Yan.

Once Long Yan died, he wouldn’t be able to survive either.

Long Yan didn’t say anything, giving the Godson enough time to think.

“Long Yan, today’s humiliation, I will return twofold.

Sooner or later, I will tear you to pieces.”

After pondering for a moment, the Godson finally made a decision.

Gritting his teeth, he glared at Long Yan and enunciated this sentence word by word.

Once the final word was spoken, his knees gradually bent and he knelt down in incomparable humiliation.

“Spineless.”

Lei Xiaotian commented disdainfully.

If it were him, he would have never knelt even if it meant death.

The Godson was the Junior Palace Master of the Supreme Hall.

The fact that he was kneeling just for the sake of his life showed that he was a coward.

“Godson, you must never have imagined that there would be a day you would kneel before me.”

Long Yan patted the Godson’s face and taunted, “Remember, this is the price for provoking me, Long Yan.

It’s still considered light.

If I can step on you once, I can do it a second time.

In the future, you’d better not provoke me again.

Otherwise, it won’t be as simple as just kneeling.”

The Godson’s face was so gloomy that it seemed like he was about to weep.

His body was trembling and his anger was as volatile as a dormant volcano that had been quiet for ten thousand years, causing his teeth to chatter.

“Let’s go.”

While that, Long Yan and his companions left.

“Long Yan, I swear I will tear you to pieces!”

Watching the retreating figure of Long Yan, the Godson clenched his teeth and spoke with gritted teeth.

………

“Long Yan, I really don’t understand.

That guy has provoked you over and over again, why are you keeping him alive?

That’s not like you.”

Lei Xiaotian questioned.

He assumed that Long Yan would have killed the Godson, but unexpectedly, Long Yan instead let him go.

“He has his own reasons for doing so.”

Lei Youyou commented.

“Go on.”

Long Yan motioned for Lei Youyou to continue explaining.

“You’ve already taken control of Ji Shaobai, and his status in the Supreme Hall is quite high.

He can help you gain a lot.

However, Ji Shaobai is ultimately not the Godson, so the amount of attention he brings you is less, which actually benefits your control over him.

If you kill the Godson, Ji Shaobai may become the Junior Palace Master of the Supreme Hall.

Then, more people would be watching him, which would instead be detrimental to your control over him.”

Lei Youyou explained.

“So you’re saying, you’re keeping the Godson alive for Ji Shaobai’s sake?”

Lei Xiaotian was starting to understand.

“Youyou got half of it right.”

Long Yan interjected: “Besides, another reason I didn’t kill the Godson is that Ji Shaobai is my pawn.

I won’t kill him, but if the Godson were killed, Ji Shaobai wouldn’t be able to hide it.

If the Supreme Hall were to learn that the Godson died at my hands, there would be a terrible fury.

Given our current power, we certainly should not confront the Supreme Hall militaristically.”

That was also something Long Yan was taking into consideration; he had the Zhenyang Sect supporting him from behind.

The Godson held an extremely high position in the Supreme Hall.

If he killed the Godson, the Supreme Hall’s wrath would definitely befall him.

The Zhenyang Sect would face a catastrophe.

“That kind of makes sense.”

Lei Xiaotian scratched the back of his head, deep in thought.

He was always decisive in his actions and naturally would not consider that much.

After half a day’s journey, Long Yan and his companions finally got close to the nine high peaks.

After getting close, they felt the enormity of the nine high peaks.

Each peak was tens of thousands of feet high, naturally formed, looking like towering pillars holding up the sky.

“Where is the treasure?”

Lei Xiaotian asked.

“According to the directions on the map, it should be in the central location of these nine peaks.”

Long Yan replied, “However, I feel that there is something off about these nine peaks.”

As to what exactly felt off, he couldn’t articulate, it was more of an instinct.

“According to the map’s directions, we shouldn’t be wrong.

Let’s go get the treasure.”

Lei Xiaotian said, and then the four of them flew towards the front.

“Look quickly, the people from the Three Great Forces are all here.”

At this moment, the people from all three great forces were at the base of one of the peaks.

In the forefront, there were three people attacking a giant beast that was surrounded by flames.

The three culprits were none other than the quasi-emperors of the Three Great Forces, Nangong Xun, Shangguan Yun, and Law Venerate Huo Li.

“Fireflame.”

The giant creature enveloped in flames was none other than Fireflame.

Fireflame was a Spirit Beast that had been extinct since ancient times.

It’s surprising that there was still one here within the Immortal Killing Door.

“Long Yan, I thought you wouldn’t come.”

Just as Long Yan and his companions were getting close, Xing Shisan came up to them to greet them.

“From the looks of it, I didn’t arrive too late.”

Long Yan smiled and then asked, “What’s going on?”

“This Fireflame is guarding a piece of Purple Crystal, and all three forces are trying their best to seize it.”

Xing Shisan explained.
