Chapter 1348 Self-Destruction
"I advise you not to act rashly, senior, otherwise I might hurt Young Master Lingzhu if I get nervous."
Mingye still had Long Lingzhu by the neck and called out, "We just want to leave alive. We hope you can show some mercy, senior."
"Release the people first, and I'll let you leave." The aged voice followed closely from outside.
Mingye swallowed the metallic taste churning in his throat.
He then raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"I don't dare to believe what you're saying, senior."
A slightly mocking voice pierced through the earthy yellow halo and echoed in the night sky.
"After all, just now, I was deceived by Young Master Lingzhu."
He glanced down at the Dragon Spirit Pearl, whose neck was being choked.
"If I still believe in my senior, I'll lose my life here today."
There was silence outside for three breaths.
The aged voice rang out again, carrying a chilling sense of oppression.
"So what do you plan to do?"
Mingye didn't hesitate and spoke directly:
"I need four interdimensional teleportation talismans."
"One of them must be able to allow two people to pass through."
With a slight increase in pressure, Mingye left deeper red marks on the Dragon Spirit Pearl's fair neck.
"Otherwise, if something goes wrong during the teleportation and Young Master Lingzhu gets hurt, that would be bad."
Long Lingzhu was forced to tilt her head back, and she had some difficulty breathing, but there was no fear in her eyes.
"I gave you a teleportation talisman, but you still won't let me go."
"Then why should I give it to you?"
Mingye looked down at her, his eyes incredibly gentle.
"There's nothing we can do about it."
He sighed, "If the young master isn't here, I wouldn't dare use the teleportation talisman you gave me."
"Who knows if there's been any tampering with that talisman? I can only feel at ease with the young master by my side."
"Please understand, young master."
After he finished speaking, he raised his head again and looked straight out the window.
"So, what's your decision, senior?"
"Senior, you can rest assured, I only ask to live."
"To be honest, I have no grudge against Young Master Lingzhu. As long as I live, she can live too."
"I don't need to risk being hunted down to the ends of the earth by the Jiaolong clan to kill her, right?"
The night outside the window was dark.
The oppressive aura in mid-air intensified.
The aged voice remained silent for a long time before finally speaking:
"Interdimensional teleportation talismans are extremely rare, as you should know."
"You need four, that's too many. And some of them need to be able to carry two people. Even I can't produce that many in a short time."
This answer did not surprise Mingye.
He certainly knew that interdimensional teleportation talismans were scarce.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so blessed by Heaven that he doesn't have a single one.
Mingye grinned, his tone light: "Can't produce it?"
"It doesn't matter if you can't produce it. Young Master Lingzhu and I will rest here forever. With her buried with us, it's not bad."
"What does Young Master Lingzhu think?"
Long Lingzhu remained silent.
The veil covered most of her face.
Even Ning Ruan, who had been watching her closely, couldn't tell whether she was afraid at that moment.
Of course, she prefers no one.
Ning Ruan had seen the dragon spirit Zhu in fear.
"it is good."
Finally, the voice of the powerful figure giving in could be heard from outside.
Upon hearing this, Mingye's smile widened. "Thank you for your understanding, senior."
"There is one more thing. Please find another low-level cultivator to deliver the teleportation talisman. There is no need for you to deliver it personally."
"..."
The aged voice fell silent.
Long Lingzhu coughed a few times and then sneered, "You really are afraid of dying."
"Who isn't afraid of death?" Mingye didn't mind at all, loosening his grip on Long Lingzhu's hand.
He lowered his head slightly and whispered in her ear, "Isn't Young Master Lingzhu also afraid of death?"
"Speaking of which, I think I underestimated the importance of Young Master Lingzhu."
Mingye lowered his voice, his tone revealing undisguised surprise and doubt, "If it were anyone else, even the chosen one of heaven, who provoked the Jiao Clan like this, your ancestor would probably rather risk his destiny to perish than let me die."
How arrogant the Jiao clan is!
He was threatened and blackmailed by a Golden Core cultivator, and even forced to submit to a Void Realm ancestor.
This is completely illogical.
Mingye looked at her and said, "I'm actually quite curious now. You're a... piece of trash. Why do you make Ancestor Dongxu so hesitant to act against you?"
Dragon Spirit Pearl smiled.
Her lips moved slightly, her voice soft: "Do you want to know?"
Mingye met her gaze.
There was no fear of death in those eyes.
It's pure madness and mockery.
It's like, if he says he wants to, she really will.
"..."
Mingye withdrew his gaze and straightened up.
"No need."
"I understand that some secrets are better left unknown."
Ning Ruan, who was eavesdropping nearby, thought: "..." You don't know anything!
How did he manage to restrain himself after getting so caught up in the gossip?
With such endurance, even the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would have to call him their patriarch.
The teleportation talisman arrived very quickly.
In terms of timing, it doesn't seem like the old ancestor outside said that he didn't have that many teleportation talismans on hand.
A dragon-race cultivator with only the eleventh realm of cultivation stood trembling outside the earthen-yellow halo, holding a jade box in both hands.
"The...the Ancestor ordered me to deliver the talisman." The cultivator's face was pale and his voice trembled.
Mingye stared at him for a moment.
At the eleventh realm, one is no longer considered a low-level cultivator.
However, compared to him, they were still about the same as those of lower rank.
No one is qualified to fight him unless they have reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.
It will not pose any threat.
The only thing he needed to confirm was that the other party was really only at the eleventh realm.
In this respect, the Jiao Clan did not deceive him.
The opponent was indeed only at the eleventh realm.
"Come in."
As he finished speaking.
The semi-divine bronze bell in mid-air emitted a low chime.
The earthen-yellow protective barrier that covered the entire bedroom did not open up; instead, it extended outwards by a few inches.
The edge of the protective shield completely engulfed the eleventh-realm cultivator.
The powerful dragon clan member who had originally planned to take advantage of the moment the protective barrier opened: "..."
The eleventh-realm cultivator entered, the jade box he held aloft already half-open.
The four talismans placed calmly inside are clearly visible to the naked eye.
Three of them had simple patterns, while the other one had more than twice as many runes.
He dared not go any further.
He stood still in front of the door.
His body trembled slightly.
Mingye watched him quietly.
The next instant, a Nascent Soul Realm expert stepped forward and made a grasping motion with one hand.
The four talismans flew directly into his hand.
The elder extended his divine sense to carefully perceive the surroundings.
After checking several times to make sure there were no problems, he turned around and nodded emphatically to Mingye:
"No problem, it is indeed an interdimensional teleportation talisman."
Mingye's tense body finally relaxed a little.
He let out a long breath, then shouted out the window:
"Thank you for your help, senior."
He took the intricately runed card and held it between his fingers.
The other three were distributed to the three elders.
The four of them gripped a corner of the talisman, preparing to activate it.
But at that moment...
The eleventh-realm dragon clan cultivator who had been standing at the door, head bowed, trembling, suddenly erupted—
No sign.
Self-destruct on the spot.
His body was instantly blasted into a bloody mist.
The violent spiritual power released from its self-destruction surged towards the people in the room...
