Chapter 1866 Seven-day return service
Eh? But Senior, I havent paid the three spirit stones for shrinking down the Ancient Heavenly City Fragments, the steel manifestation said in confusion.
Theres no need to worry about that, someone already paid for that for you. As for who that is, Ill be keeping that a secret for now, the Almighty Merchant said calmly. After saying that, he handed over the three fragments to the steel manifestation.
Someone already paid for it for me? The steel manifestation received the three fragments, and said, Hm Ok. By the way, Senior, how long can these three fragments stay in this shrunken state?
The Almighty Merchant replied, With the technique I used, these three fragments should stay in that state for at least another day.
Thank you, Senior. The steel manifestation carefully stored the three fragments in his pocket.
The Almighty Merchant nodded, and said, Then, that concludes this transaction. After saying that, he waved at Song Shuhang, and said, Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song, we shall meet again some other time. As this transaction had gone without a hitch, the Almighty Merchant decided that he would continue to let Tyrannical Song stay outside of the blacklist.
The Almighty Merchant then left swiftly, leaving the steel manifestation to continue catching crabs by the sh.o.r.e.
After the Almighty Merchant left, the steel manifestation stopped moving as if it had lost its power source.
After a while, the Heavenly Emperor-possessed Soft Feather drilled out from the bottom of the sea, giggling as she came to the side of the steel manifestation. She reached out and held Song Shuhangs steel manifestation. Prepare to synchronize with Senior Song Senior Song, Ill be taking away the Ancient Heavenly City Fragments with me. Anyway, these originally belonged to me, so dont say that I stole them from you.
After saying that, she grabbed the powered-off steel manifestation, then stepped into a spatial gate, and disappeared.
When she ran away, she also took the extra effort to erase the traces of her spatial teleportation so that n.o.body could chase after her through the aura of the teleportation.
In order to ensure her safety, she took Song Shuhangs steel manifestation with her as she randomly teleported over 10 times. While doing this, she also placed a layer of Imperial Rune Seals on the three Ancient Heavenly City Fragments to prevent the Almighty Merchant from tracking her through the fragments.
After teleporting a few more times, she quietly escaped back to the dark little planet where she had been temporarily residing.
Hmm, I should be safe now, the Heavenly Emperor said softly. She then stretched out her hand, and sent the steel manifestation back into the little sun.
As her strength had still yet to fully recover, she couldnt face everything head-on.
Why do I feel like theres something I still have to do? The Heavenly Emperor pinched her chin and fell into thought.
After a long while, she remembered what she had forgotten to do. Ah, right, I forgot to get in touch with that little girl Soft Feather. The Heavenly Emperor looked up at the sky-her main purpose this time was obviously to get in touch with Soft Feather to find out what the latter was doing recently. The Heavenly Emperor really didnt like the sudden bursts of comfort that she would experience every now and then.
But in the end, because of the Eastern Spring Pavilion Fragments, she had forgotten about her main objective.
The Heavenly Emperor muttered, It seems that Ill have to look for an opportunity to get in touch with Soft Feather. Otherwise, Ill have trouble unfolding the scholarly faction plan.
At the banquet on Heavenly Field Island. Most of the fellow daoists who were already too drunk were sent to rest under the arrangement of Island Master Tian Tiankong. There were a few others who were still barely awake, and had yet to fall asleep.
At this time in the kitchen, Song Shuhang, Su Clans Sixteen, Senior Whites clone, Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, Venerable Yellow Mountain, and Fairy Almighty Seller were all surrounding Northern River.
Northern River was currently cultivating an inner demon clone according to the method described by Soft Feather. He had long since condensed the inner demon, and now the smoky inner demon was already showing signs of evolving
Everyone was eager to see what form his inner demon clone would take after it properly formed. Was it going to be an inner demon version of that blonde beauty he used to like? Or was it going to be an inner demon version of Copper Trigram? Or, like Soft Feathers, was it going to be a black-skinned Northern River? Everyone quietly waited for the result.
At this moment, Song Shuhangs face suddenly changed, and his arms shook slightly. Su Clans Sixteen said softly, Whats wrong, Shuhang?
Song Shuhang rubbed his eyes.
In his eyes, he received a synchronized scene from his steel manifestation.
In the scene, Soft Feather was smiling sweetly, and said, Senior Song, Ill be taking away the Ancient Heavenly City Fragments with me. Anyway, these originally belonged to me, so dont say that I stole them from you.
Song Shuhang said, The Heavenly Emperor!
Su Clans Sixteen asked, The Heavenly Emperor? Shes here?
The White Dragon instantly appeared and floated into the sky when she heard this. She had acc.u.mulated a decent amount of energy at this time, and even if she had to fight the Heavenly Emperor head-on, she would be able to keep her occupied for some time. At this moment, the voice of the Almighty Merchant sounded from outside the kitchen. Almighty Seller, were leaving.
After saying that, he entered the kitchen.
Eh? Tyrannical Song, why are you here? The Almighty Merchant frowned.
When he was outside the kitchen, he hadnt been able to sense Song Shuhangs aura at all. However, as soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw the other party casually sitting inside.
Senior. Song Shuhang had a bad premonition in his heart. Taking into account the scene he had seen from the steel manifestation, he thought for a while, and then asked the Almighty Merchant, Where are the Ancient Heavenly City Fragments?
The Almighty Merchant replied, Your steel manifestation received them for you.
Song Shuhang. The Almighty Merchant.
Both could read undesirable messages coming from each others faces.
My steel manifestation was stolen by the Heavenly Emperor a long time ago. Song Shuhang looked up at the sky.
The Almighty Merchant asked, What? Shouldnt your steel manifestation be inseparable from you?
Song Shuhang said calmly, It is inseparable from me. Its just that it has been s.n.a.t.c.hed away. The connection between the steel manifestation and me cannot be cut off, so I still occasionally receive some insights and information from the steel manifestation. It honestly isnt all that new to me. Even further back, I had my life-bound ghost spirit s.n.a.t.c.hed away from me as well, so when a similar thing happened to my steel manifestation, I didnt feel too much about it.
His calm look was quite heartbreaking.
Song Shuhang asked, By the way, I shouldnt have paid for the shrinking down of the three fragments yet? Why did Senior suddenly give me the fragments?
The Almighty Merchant replied, Little Soft Feather paid the three Ninth Stage spirit stones for you.
Eh? But Soft Feather is currently in my Inner World, helping Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword complete his inner demon clone. While Shuhang was in the middle of speaking, he already got an idea of what probably happened. Sigh It should be the Heavenly Emperor again. Soft Feathers ghost spirit has been s.n.a.t.c.hed away by the Heavenly Emperor, so the Soft Feather who paid you should have been the Heavenly Emperor.
The Almighty Merchant.
You guys are really evenly matched. One of you had your ghost spirit taken away by the Heavenly Emperor, while the other had their steel manifestation taken away by the Heavenly Emperor. If I didnt know that you probably didnt intend for that to happen, I would say that you specifically arranged clones of yours to be taken away by her. At the same time, the Almighty Merchant thought of another detail.
He stretched out his hand, and took out the three Ninth Stage spirit stones that the Heavenly Emperor had given him.
After checking them carefully, he saw that the three Ninth Stage spirit stones were completely fine.
However, on one of the spirit stones, there was a small trace of the Imperial Rune. If he hadnt looked carefully, he would have completely not noticed it.
After he threw that one spirit stone aside he could immediately sense Song Shuhangs aura again.
He picked up the spirit stone again, and he could no longer sense Song Shuhangs aura once more.
The Almighty Merchant.
Motherf*cker
Senior Whites clone said, Fellow Daoist Almighty Merchant, youve been fooled.
Song Shuhang sighed. We also have some fault in this.
This matter that involved his steel manifestation and Soft Feathers ghost spirit couldnt be completely blamed on the Almighty Merchant. After all, they were both parts of him and Soft Feather.
Im going to go and get the Ancient Heavenly City Fragments back. The Almighty Merchant tightly wrapped the sheet around his body, and said solemnly, Fortunately, we have a seven-day return service. It isnt that easy to take my goods away from me!
In this world filled with cruel and cunning people, only the sheet wrapped around his body could bring him warmth.
Seven-day return service: no matter where you are, as long as you are unsatisfied with the goods, we can immediately come and pick up the goods for you. Excellent service all for you!
