When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 1325 - 852: Houtu’s True Form

Xiang Beifei held many incomplete ancestral artifacts in his hands, along with some fragments, such as the ancestral artifact fragments of a three-legged cauldron and the five-stringed Qin, as well as bronze fragments and half a jade fragment whose origins were unknown.

The Dao Palace had a tight grip on the bodies of these ancestral artifacts.

Incomplete ancestral artifacts faced significant limitations in their abilities, only able to wield parts of the Heavenly Dao Laws, some of which were insignificant, unable to offer them much help.

The Dao Palace naturally was eager to find all the fragments of the ancestral artifacts!

Xiaohei asked, "What if they gain more powerful Heavenly Dao Laws through artifact fragment trade?"

This concern was not without merit.

The Dao Palace already possessed many mighty ancestral artifacts. Just the Heavenly Dao Laws brought by the stone ring caused enough trouble for them, leaving him almost without a way to deal with these laws.

As for what ancestral artifacts the five-stringed Qin, the bronze pieces, and that jade piece sealed, Xiang Beifei had no way to ascertain.

However, Xiang Beifei still had to try.

"There’s no choice but to gamble."

Because correspondingly, Wufeng and the Five Pieces of Stone were equally important to him!

He also very much needed the complete Wufeng and Five Pieces of Stone; it was obvious how important these two ancestral artifacts were.

The three-legged cauldron that controlled the fate of all Jiuzhou needed to be reclaimed by any means.

Of course, the most important was the ancestral artifact that sealed the "humanity law"!

The humanity law determined whether the Human Race could exist in this world. Current information suggested that the humanity ancestral artifact was also incomplete, which was the only piece of good news.

But Xiang Beifei was not at ease because the body of the humanity ancestral artifact was also in the hands of the Dao Palace, with the whereabouts of the humanity ancestral artifact fragments unknown, leaving him constantly uneasy.

"Do you think the Dao Palace will agree to exchange so many ancestral artifacts?" Xiaohei asked.

"We have to give it a try."

Xiang Beifei could not storm into Shezheng City; the Dao Palace would be on guard against him now, making retrieving his ancestral artifacts unlikely.

Erha asked, "So where do we go to trade? We can’t just hold the artifact fragments and run to Shezheng City to negotiate, right? That doesn’t seem wise."

Making a deal on someone else’s turf didn’t seem very safe, no matter how you looked at it.

Xiang Beifei was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "No need, we’ll wait for them to come."

"Wait for them to come?" Erha tilted his head in confusion.

"So dumb, of course, we’re going to hang the ancestral artifact fragments over the City of No Pretense! Fighting on our home ground gives us the advantage!" Xiaohei said, hand on hips.

The Dao Palace always eyed the City of No Pretense covetously. If anything changed in the City of No Pretense, they would surely know immediately.

Xiang Beifei only needed to hang the ancestral artifact fragments over the City of No Pretense. With the city’s protection, he could force the Dao Palace’s experts to negotiate by themselves! 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

In the boundless void, there was a golden-glowing sand city, the city radiating brilliant light, with each grain of breath soil shining like gold, extremely majestic and luxurious.

Shezheng City, the place guarded most rigorously by the Dao Palace, was also the core area.

Wu Zhejiu returned here with the remaining experts of the Ancestral Dao Realm, looking extremely sullen.

"He is not Wufeng! Who the hell is he?"

Wu Zhejiu glared coldly at Wu Mengqian.

During the battle earlier, he didn’t let Wu Mengqian intervene because he knew of her past relationship with Wufeng, believing she wouldn’t exert her full strength, so he merely imprisoned her.

Wu Mengqian lowered her head and shook it, saying, "I don’t know who he is."

"You told him to wait in the City of No Pretense while at Common Valley, and now you dare to deny it?" Wu Zhejiu shouted angrily.

Wu Mengqian said, "I thought he was Wufeng; maybe I was mistaken."

"Mistaken? One mistake of yours put Wu Fengruo in trouble. Hmph! Do you think I can still believe your words?"

"I’m sorry; I will bear any consequences. Please, Elder, forgive me." Wu Mengqian gritted her teeth and said.

Slap!

Wu Zhejiu raised his hand and slapped Wu Mengqian across the face. She grunted, a red mark appearing on her cheek, her complexion turning a shade paler.

"You have disappointed me greatly! I’ve groomed you for so many years, and this is how you repay me, by conspiring with outsiders against me? You ask me to forgive you, but how could I possibly forgive your crime?" Wu Zhejiu was extremely angry.

Wu Mengqian remained silent, unsure of what to do, her mind in chaos.

She didn’t know what to do now. Wufeng hadn’t come, leaving her a bit lost, but she was also somewhat relieved he didn’t show up.

She understood such thoughts were wrong; she was a cultivator of the Dao Palace, a member of the Houtu Tribe, harboring an irreconcilable enmity with the Human Race, and shouldn’t be helping Wufeng.

But every time, she couldn’t get Wufeng’s image out of her mind, remembering everything about that man; she simply couldn’t convince herself.

"Mengqian has committed a capital crime and is willing to accept punishment," Wu Mengqian murmured.

Seeing Wu Mengqian still showing no signs of repentance, Wu Zhejiu felt even more furious.

"If it weren’t for our current lack of personnel, I’d have killed you already!"

But many Ancestral Dao Realm experts of the Dao Palace had lost contact, and the current situation for Dao Palace was also pessimistic. With Wu Mengqian being an Ancestral Dao Realm expert, no matter how angry Wu Zhejiu was, he couldn’t kill her off just yet.

He snorted coldly, and with a flash of his palm, the stone ring ancestral artifact appeared in his hand.

"I won’t forgive you so easily. Since you colluded with outsiders, I will make you compensate for all of this personally. I will erase all memories of you and Wufeng, and in the future, remember, whenever you see Wufeng, you must kill him!"
