Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 730: Negotiations
"What is their purpose in coming here?!"
Qinchuan did not act rashly, watching the battle from a distance. He opened his Innate Pupils, and at that moment, the power of causality also overflowed, attempting to probe the opponents.
However, when his gaze fell upon the faces of those five individuals, suddenly, he saw the five Divine Stones on their foreheads each emitting a faint Five-Colored Divine Light.
The Five-Colored Divine Light enveloped their bodies, obstructing the probing of the Innate Pupils, rendering him unable to discern the true nature of the five individuals.
Immediately after, Qinchuan's Innate Pupils felt as if struck by a vast surge of energy and involuntarily closed.
"What, they aren't even touched by causality?!"
Unable to see the opponents' origins, Qinchuan even discovered that there was not a single thread of causality entwined with those five individuals.
This left him utterly shocked.
In the life of a person, every action taken will inevitably influence the future.
The deeds are the cause, the consequences are the effect.
It is impossible for someone to be untainted by causality.
Take this group of people, for instance; not long ago, they moved the Divine Severing Cliff—this itself is a massive cause and effect.
It cannot be without manifestation.
Even if those who moved the Divine Severing Cliff weren't them, but belonged to the same faction, it still should be visible.
Perceiving the arrival of Qinchuan's group, the five mysterious individuals did not want to be too conspicuous and hastened their attack, striking more fiercely.
Golden, fiery red, yellow, white, and blue Divine Lights of Five Colors wildly coursed through, working in coordination and forming an intense vortex.
Rune colors of the five hues spun in the center, trapping the Wu Xin Fairy within the Great Formation.
"Wu Xin, hand over the Stellar Fragment in your possession, and my five fellow disciples will let you leave unharmed, otherwise don't blame us for being ruthless!"
The five individuals had Wu Xin completely surrounded; the Wu Xin Fairy spouted a dazzling Essence Qi from her mouth, the Divine Qi around her body was resplendent, and a silvery Moon Wheel appeared above her head, weaving together an enormous Barrier.
The Barrier blocked the oppressive Five-Colored vicious energies.
Wu Xin Fairy, clad in Golden Armor, wielding a Long Spear, stood tall and divine, her Physical Body emitting a golden aura.
"I've said it before, in the Ancient Realm, treasure belongs to the one who is capable of keeping it. Since I've obtained this Stellar Fragment, there's no reason to contemplate handing it over."
"Hmph, stubborn fool, since you're bent on death, we'll grant you your wish!"
The male figure with the Fiery Red Divine Stone mask gave a cold snort, a glow flashed across his arms, and red Flames spewed from his palms, appearing in this world, intending to incinerate Wu Xin.
The battle was extremely ferocious between them.
Although Wu Xin was very strong now, she was being suppressed by the joint efforts of the five, unable to escape from this realm.
"Hey, over there, lady thief, do you need help? Just return that Divine Egg to me, and I'll lend you a hand, helping you out of this predicament!"
Seeing Wu Xin Fairy in crisis and about to be completely suppressed by the opponents, Qinchuan, standing on the shoulder of an ancient ape, shouted from a distance.
"Are your words true?"
If this had been before, Qinchuan's demand for the Divine Egg would have definitely been met with the four words: "In your dreams."
Now, she actually began to question whether Qinchuan was telling the truth.
"I, Qinchuan, always keep my word, what I say carries weight, and I never go back on it, as long as you hand over the Divine Egg..."
Qinchuan was speaking freely, but before he could finish, Wu Xin Fairy interrupted.
"Fine, I agree. After you help me slay these people, I will give you the Divine Egg!"
She had always been calm, but now seemed somewhat anxious; it was evident she had been truly cornered.
"Heh heh, Fairy, at a time like this, playing tricks isn't nice."
Although Wu Xin Fairy readily agreed, Qinchuan still didn't rush in immediately, but instead spoke clearly.
"I only said I would help you out of your current dilemma; I never mentioned suppressing these five individuals."
```
Qinchuan had long been a clever guy, playing with words was a little trick he used to play hundreds of thousands of years ago, how could he be deceived by a female thief.
Exposed by Qinchuan, the Wu Xin Fairy fell silent.
The battle between the two sides grew more and more fierce, and Wu Xin Fairy was now in constant danger.
"Fairy, if you won't speak, I'll take it as a refusal and I'll be on my way!" Qinchuan shouted again.
"Wait, I agree to your terms. As long as you help me get out of this predicament, I will return the divine egg to you," she finally relented as she saw Qinchuan truly about to leave.
Qinchuan smiled slightly, holding his long spear, he rushed towards where the others were fiercely fighting.
"Kind sir, do you really... intend to meddle in this affair?"
Qinchuan's conversation with Wu Xin Fairy was not concealed, and all five people heard it loud and clear as they saw Qinchuan moving over with his long spear.
The second senior brother among the five spoke out clearly and loudly refused him.
"I have no choice, taking money to end a calamity for others. Although this person is hateful, taking advantage of me to steal the divine egg, since she has already agreed to return it, I naturally have to fulfill my promise," Qinchuan reasoned.
In fact, promises were just a pretext.
Even without Wu Xin Fairy speaking up, upon seeing these five, Qinchuan would have gone forward to exchange pointers, and if possible, he would have even captured one of them to see their true nature.
Now, he was simply taking the opportunity to squeeze Wu Xin Fairy a bit more.
"Brother, I advise you to mind your own business. This is a grudge between us and Wu Xin Fairy. If you leave now, we can overlook this matter, but if..."
The eldest brother with the Fiery Red Divine Stone spoke loudly, but before he could finish, Qinchuan's long spear was already sweeping towards them, with a hundred zhang of fiery divine brilliance.
The second senior brother with the Golden Divine Stone held his golden rod, fighting against the sky to intercept Qinchuan's sweeping spear intent.
"Boom!"
The collision set off a huge noise that shook heaven and earth. Red flames and golden energy surged into the void, exploding with a terrifying brilliance that completely engulfed the area.
In that encounter, the second senior brother was only slightly inferior, taking only a single step back.
But now, he looked at Qinchuan in surprise.
"It's you..."
He immediately whispered a few words to the eldest brother.
After listening, the expression under the eldest brother's mask changed continuously.
However, he did not hesitate at all, waving his hand decisively, he spoke indifferently, "We're leaving!"
"What?"
The third, fourth, and fifth senior brothers, who were still attacking Wu Xin Fairy, were taken aback, not understanding the reason.
But seeing the eldest and second senior brothers tearing through the void, shooting towards the distance, they no longer hesitated, abandoning the Wu Xin Fairy, and quickly followed.
The five figures disappeared into the void in an instant.
"Eldest brother, second brother, why the sudden departure?"
As the three caught up to the eldest and second senior brother, they asked curiously about the reason.
"It was that person!" the second senior brother said gravely.
"Which person, that person?" the youngest, Little Qing, had yet to catch on.
"The person who spied on us from the River of Time that day!" the eldest brother spoke.
"Ah? It's... it's him!"
All three cried out in unison.
Then Little Qing came to a realization: "No wonder the divine stone expelled Chaos Qi just now, it was him!"
