Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 443: Chapter 301: Second Disintegration, Rekindled Fierce Battle for the Spiritual Talisman (Part 2)

"Eye of the Sun, don’t get clever! According to the Oath, you must deliver the Spiritual Talismans into our hands. If you can’t protect them before then and Yi Beidou takes them, that also counts as violating the Oath!"

"We can just take our time and let that young man, Yi Beidou, reach your location first. Let him fight you to the death. I refuse to believe you’d actually risk your Immortal Soul running rampant from a broken Oath just to hand the Spiritual Talismans over to him!"

"Do you really think we’ll let you order us around?"

the Golden Pharaoh shouted coldly.

They had now discovered Yi Beidou’s whereabouts, so the initiative was naturally in their hands. Besides, they had already fulfilled their part of the Oath. According to its terms, the Eye of the Sun had to deliver the Spiritual Talismans to them.

"Of course I won’t violate the Oath."

The Eye of the Sun’s voice was perfectly calm, showing no sign of being cornered.

"When the time comes, if you don’t show up, then we’ll just have to come to you. I’ll have the Duke of Destruction and other members of our organization bring one Spiritual Talisman to one faction, while I personally bring the other to the second faction. I will deliver the Spiritual Talismans into your hands myself to complete the Oath."

"However, that young man, Yi Beidou, has already locked on to me. He will certainly follow my every move. His lock is very powerful, but if I conceal my Eye of Omniscience and increase the liberation of my Immortal Soul, it might be possible to sever the connection for a short time... or perform some other maneuvers."

"For example, I could transfer this lock onto one of you. Then I could mask my own Qi and watch as one of you battles Yi Beidou to a bloody pulp. Please believe that I am capable of this."

"Hmm, let me think... which one of you two should be the lucky one? To be honest, I have no deep-seated hatred for either of you, so it’s a difficult choice. How about I draw lots and leave it all to fate?"

The Eye of the Sun’s voice continued to echo in the minds of the Golden Pharaoh and Destruction Heaven, as if it were just meaningless small talk.

But the more he spoke, the uglier the expressions on the faces of the Golden Pharaoh and Destruction Heaven became.

A threat. A naked, blatant threat!

The Eye of the Sun was locked on by Yi Beidou. If he really did randomly choose one of their factions to deliver a Spiritual Talisman to, Yi Beidou would inevitably follow. If, at that moment, the Eye of the Sun truly had the ability to transfer Yi Beidou’s lock and then conceal himself, they would undoubtedly become Yi Beidou’s primary target.

Based on the level of power this person had just displayed, if a single faction were to face him alone, even in a state of Full Immortal Soul Understanding, they would have no confidence in suppressing or even fighting him.

And once they entered that state, their strength would be damaged. Even if they managed to defeat or repel Yi Beidou, the other two factions would surely take advantage of the situation. At that point, they probably wouldn’t be able to protect the Spiritual Talisman.

And if they couldn’t suppress Yi Beidou...

Then the consequences would be even more unimaginable.

Drawing lots. A one-in-two chance. One party was bound to benefit, but neither of them dared to take that risk.

"What in the world are you trying to do?!"

Destruction Heaven said through gritted teeth.

The situation had become a complete mess. Things had been urgent on the battlefield before, so it was impossible for them to stick rigidly to every detail of the Oath. There were bound to be loopholes.

However, they naturally weren’t afraid of this, because their plan all along had been to join forces and kill Yi Beidou on the spot.

At that time, the Illuminati’s Duke of Destruction would be in a weakened state after his Full Immortal Soul Understanding ended, making it difficult for the Illuminati to contend with their two factions. The Spiritual Talismans would have to be handed over to them, and there would be no complications.

But who could have expected that the three of them, all Immortal Soul Masters, would join forces only to have Yi Beidou snatch away their Spirit Treasure, suppress them, and force their retreat? Yi Beidou’s power had become the greatest threat in Jun City, a sharp sword that everyone feared.

All their plans had come to nothing, and the loopholes in the Oath were now being exploited by the Eye of the Sun to hold them in check.

"I’m merely returning everything to the starting point. This young man, Yi Beidou, is an enormous threat. Why don’t our three factions join forces to eliminate him? As for the fight over the Spiritual Talismans afterward, that can be a test of our own abilities."

"Our Illuminati suffered heavy losses in the last battle. The Duke of Destruction is no longer able to fight, leaving me as the only one who has condensed a Soul. Surely you aren’t still afraid to face me in a direct confrontation?"

the Eye of the Sun said indifferently.

"Cooperate? We can’t trust you. Who knows what else you have prepared? What kind of trap have you laid for us?"

Destruction Heaven said with a cold sneer.

"I’m already using myself as bait. What kind of trap could there be? Besides, once I’m drawn into the fight, I won’t be able to escape easily either. Don’t tell me you’re actually afraid of that Yi Beidou?"

the Eye of the Sun said.

"Your goading won’t work on me. If you want to cooperate, fine. But you have to show some sincerity. For example, by making another Oath to guarantee you’ll actually fight."

the Golden Pharaoh said in a low voice.

"In that case, I suggest you two go back to thinking about which of you will be the lucky one. Actually, I don’t even need to transfer Yi Beidou’s lock. As long as I sever his lock right after handing over the Spiritual Talismans and remove all the Qi masking in the city, the Qi from the two Spiritual Talismans in your possession will become the most conspicuous. Yi Beidou will inevitably choose to attack one of you then."

"In other words, as long as this Yi Beidou is still in the city, as long as he’s alive for even one more minute, it doesn’t matter which of our factions it is—anyone who wants to leave safely with a Spiritual Talisman will have to take an enormous risk. This isn’t for my sake. It’s for your own."
