Chapter 554: Pleading

When Huang Yu stabbed the back of Tang Lisong’s head with the Jade River Sword, he already extinguished all signs of life. However, Shang Xia made his move at the same time and it arrived a little later because he was further away. With the Abyssal Blade, he beheaded Tang Lisong and erased his divine perception completely.

.

That was why Huang Yu said that they landed a killing move each.

“What’s the point of keeping his head?” Shang Xia raised an eyebrow and asked while watching the rest of Tang Lisong’s body dissipate. He looked through the rest of Tang Lisong’s belongings which survived with interest.

“Hmm… At least I’ll have something to my name. When I go back and claim credit from the rest of the cultivators from the Spirit Abundance World, I’ll be able to better gain their trust with Tang Lisong’s head in hand. I might even be able to grab even more fate dipper fragments!” Huang Yu shocked several items he found useful from Tang Lisong’s corpse into his spatial artifact while speaking.

Shang Xia didn’t seem bothered by the treasures Huang Yu was taking at all. After all, he kept everything the female cultivator had after they killed her earlier.

It was also then that Shang Xia learned that her name was Lin Chai.

“Fate dipper fragments? What is that?” Shang Xia heard of it before, but understanding that Huang Yu was saying it again for a specific purpose, he quickly asked.

Staying silent for a moment, Huang Yu eventually explained, “It’s a cultivation resource for experts at the Martial Extermination Realm and Martial Dipper Realm that is produced after world origin reaches a certain concentration.”

“Even Martial Dipper Realm Ancestors can use this?!” Shang Xia gasped in shock.

Glancing at Shang Xia from the corner of his eye, he muttered, “You’re asking about it the wrong way. Its main use is to supplement the cultivation of Martial Dipper Realm experts. Cultivators like us in the Martial Extermination Realm will only be able to use a small portion of it. Either that or we can only make use of the extremely low-quality fragments…”

“They caused all this chaos in order to borrow the power of the pillar of light to refine fate dipper fragments?!” Shang Xia asked.

Huang Yu’s expression flickered slightly and he answered, “That’s right!”

Not noticing the change on Huang Yu’s face, Shang Xia followed up with another question, “How exactly do they refine the fate dipper fragments anyway? Are you able to learn their secret?”

Sighing softly, Huang Yu continued, “It’s something you won’t like to hear… Even in the Spirit Abundance World, refining fate dippers like that is a forbidden technique. The great powers in the Spirit Abundance World reached an agreement to ban such a method of refinement…”

Shang Xia quickly realized what was going on and he sneered, “So… Looks like they really gave up on the Manyu Continent. The prohibition doesn’t work here and they can do anything they wish to the Manyu Continent… Is the method of refining fate dipper fragments only passed down in the inheritance of those big factions?”

Huang Yu nodded in response. “Is there anything strange about that? Even in the Azure Origin World, some techniques have already been forbidden. Something on this scale that greatly exhausts world origin while also requiring sacrifices is really too cruel. It’s no surprise they are unwilling to watch anyone unleash this disastrous art on their world.”

“Since that’s the case, wouldn’t scattered cultivators of the Spirit Abundance World like yourself be silenced after they accomplish their gcoal here?” Shang Xia chuckled while tossing out a casual warning.

With a smile on his face, Huang Yu shook his head and replied, “They messed up really badly this time. They planned to harvest the world origin of the Manyu Continent to squeeze out all the value left in it but they got too greedy. However, they didn’t consider the scale of what they were doing properly and ran into resistance from the Azure Origin World and Azure Spiritual World. With the experts of the two worlds in the picture, they had to take precautions. The experts they sent in were unable to keep up, and they quickly came up with a plan to bring in other experts of the Spirit Abundance World. They shouldn’t do anything to me for the time being. As long as I manage to blend in with their group before we leave the Manyu Continent, I should be good.”

Shang Xia nodded seriously but he couldn’t help but drop another reminder. “Regardless, it never hurts to be more careful. You have to be on guard at all times!”

“Hahaha, kid, relax. I’m much more experienced at these sorts of things than you think. Oh right. I’ll need you to coordinate with me to put on another show in a bit…” Huang Yu roared with laughter after hearing what he said. He then told Shang Xia what they were going to do and Shang Xia took note of everything mentally.

After going through the entire plan, Shang Xia joked, “Oh? If we’re successful, it’s possible to get him to owe you a favor. Are you planning to enter his faction? I thought you were gunning for Cen Yu the whole time…”

“Cen Yu is an old monster and he’s extremely sharp. However, the power he comes from isn’t too strong in the Spirit Abundance World. The person we’re talking about is a whole other story. His background is terrifying and his sect has quite the authority in the Spirit Abundance World.” Huang Yu explained.

Raising his thumb in awe, Shang Xia snorted in amusement, “Damn, as expected of an elder of your caliber. You’re good! It’s only been a little more than 2 months and you already got close to those guys without exposing your identity. You even managed to make such a detailed investigation of their backgrounds.”

Huang Yu’s expression sank when he heard how Shang Xia was addressing him all of a sudden. “Hey kid, I might be one generation older than you, but I’m not that old! What’s with the way you’re addressing me now?”

“Oh yes, hehe…” Shang Xia sniggered under his breath.

“Right. Anyway, I have something else I need your help with.” Huang Yu coughed once before he added.

“Huh?” Shang Xia was immediately taken aback. However, he eventually laughed, “Alright. As long as it is within my means, I’ll do it.”

The super spy of the Tongyou Institution who roamed the Azure Origin World and Azure Spiritual World freely looked a little shy after hearing Shang Xia’s answer. Shang Xia couldn’t quite believe what he was seeing and he became even more curious. In Shang Xia’s eyes, Youshang might be an amazing undercover agent of the institution, but he was also a shameless asshole. He couldn’t believe someone like that would actually reveal such a sheepish expression.

Seemingly having noticed the strange look in Shang Xia’s eyes, Huang Yu coughed again before forcing himself to act more seriously. “With your current status and influence, you can definitely deal with my matter.”

Getting a little impatient to uncover what the issue was, Shang Xia hurried, “Just tell me what it is! What are you rambling on and on for? It doesn’t match your personality at all!”

Adjusting his emotions, he finally turned serious. “I remember telling you that Wei Qiongyi of the Liang Continent appeared in the Azure Spiritual World out of nowhere. We ran into each other coincidentally…”

“Yeah?” Shang Xia nodded. The next moment, his eyes went wide. “You brought her to the Manyu Continent and?! Are you asking me to send her back to the Azure Origin World? Wait a second… Isn’t she in the Martial Intent Realm?”

Shooting a glare at Shang Xia, Huang Yu snorted, “It’s been more than 2 years. Can’t she enter the Martial Extermination Realm? Do you think you’re the only one who knows how to cultivate?”

Shang Xia knew that if she truly entered the Martial Extermination Realm, she definitely received help from the shameless fellow talking to him… Otherwise, there was no way a cultivator of the Azure Origin World would be able to break through and enter the Martial Extermination Realm after falling into the Azure Spiritual World.

“Alright, this doesn’t seem too difficult.” Shang Xia quickly agreed to his request. However, a look of confusion appeared on his face and he asked, “Actually, shouldn’t you just tell Deputy Patriarch Yun or my grandfather? You’ve been undercover for so long and now, you’ve even inserted yourself into the Spirit Abundance World. Your contributions to the institution are immeasurable. Why do you need to ask me to take care of this matter for you?”

Falling deep into thought, Huang Yu muttered, “Brat, you don’t know how any of this works! You’re the only one who can deal with this flawlessly. They won’t question anything if you’re the one doing it. Also, no one will dare to use this matter to pick on you in the future.”

“How so?” Shang Xia really couldn’t understand what the fuck was going on.

Coughing twice, a look of embarrassment appeared on Huang Yu’s face. “Well… It’s nothing too bad… I just broke some rules and accidentally got her, a member of the Weiwu Institution, pregnant…”

“PFFT…” Shang Xia tilted his head to the skies and peered down his nose to shoot Huang Yu a look of disdain. Even so, he immediately understood what he meant. “I get it. You’re sending her back now before telling them about what you did. Hehe. If I really bring a pregnant woman back to the Tongyou Stronghold, there’s no way they will kick her out.”

A huge grin appeared on Huang Yu’s face. “Great! At least you get it!”

Rolling his eyes, Shang Xia continued, “No matter what, Wei Qiongyi has entered the Martial Extermination Realm. Our Tongyou Institution experienced a sharp rise in strength in the past few years, but we’re not arrogant to the point where we can ignore Martial Extermination Realm experts. After she gives birth, we can bring her under the institution’s banner. Heh, you even managed to get us a Martial Extermination Realm cultivator out of nowhere. You can even count it as your contribution to the institution!”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah!” Huang Yu roared with laughter and he became really excited. “Why didn’t I think of that?! This daddy here didn’t break the rules of the institution! I made a heroic contribution to improve the institution’s strength!”

…

The central region of the heaven and earth qi vortex was as peaceful as before.

A total of 12 fate dipper fragments were condensed, and 4 pieces hovered in front of the 3 experts present.

Because there were 3 more experts who were preventing the outsiders from coming in, they would have to split up their loot to even more portions.

“I didn’t think that there would be so much world origin in this pillar of light. It really exceeded my expectations. From the looks of it, we will be able to harvest a fifth round of fragments!” Cen Yu might have said that he would let Lou Yi grab the first fragment to recover, but that only applied to the first round of harvests.

Also, he would obtain the first fragment that appeared every round after that before giving the others a chance to grab the others. The quality of the fragments he obtained was naturally the highest.

The greater the number of rounds of harvest, the more he would benefit.

“Heh, looks like a lot of people died…” The black robed expert, Hei Lian, immediately pointed out the reason behind the extraordinary amount of world origin.

Coughing once, Lou Yi’s face still looked pretty pale. Luckily, he seemed to have his internal injuries under control. He muttered softly, “Looks like Lin Chai, Liu Yu, and Huang Yu aren’t having such an easy time out in the storm.”

Hei Lian glanced at him from the corner of his eye before he asked, “Brother Lou, are you really planning to give Huang Yu a portion of our harvest?

Snorting once, Lou Yi didn’t bother replying. A look of contempt appeared on his face.

Cen Yu laughed at the side. “Heh, that guy has no affiliations and he’s merely trying to get close to Brother Lou. Why else will he risk his life for this?”

Glancing at Cen Yu, Hei Lian mumbled, “Isn’t it the same with Liu Yu?”

“Actually, things are working out perfectly. Those fragments that appear near the end will be of the worst quality but it should be more than enough for them…” Lou Yi added suddenly.

Breaking out into laughter, Cen Yu detected a slight fluctuation and he directed their attention back to the light pillar. “The fragments are about to be produced again. I won’t stand on ceremony and I’ll take the first piece. Please take care of the formation while I head over.”

After he spoke, Cen Yu left his position and rushed at the dimming pillar of light.

The moment he flew into the air, the ground beneath them started to tremble violently. Hei Lian and Lou Yi grunted softly and strengthened their control of the formation. The shaking stopped immediately.

At the same time, the corpses of the high-leveled Martial Extermination Realm experts started to dissipate as the last of their inner qi was sucked into the pillar of light. Very quickly, a cube took shape in the air and the light pillar dimmed significantly. The pillar of light seemed to have reached the end of its lifespan.

Reaching for the fragment, Cen Yu extracted it before looking at its surface which was filled with intricate vein lines before shaking his head in disappointment, “This fragment is far from comparable to the one we obtained in the first harvest…”

He returned to his original position with a trace of discontent.

When he returned, Lou Yi went out to retrieve his fragment. Just as he was about to arrive beside the pillar of light, the heaven and earth qi vortex on his left side tore open, revealing a scene of chaos.

Cen Yu and Hei Lian yelled in unison the moment they noticed the disturbance.

“Brother Lou, be careful!”

“Behind you!”

Lou Yi felt a sense of danger rapidly approaching and he quickly pounced to lie flat on the ground. Sticking as close to the ground as possible, he scurried forward.

Shang Xia entered through the gap the next moment and he glanced at his surroundings before hacking his Abyssal Blade towards Lou Yi, who was the closest to him at the moment.

“Asshole, go to hell!”
