C4568 He Could Not Trust Others!
Heh, if Father was willing to give him a Mysterious Heaven Spirit Treasure, Chen Xiao would really be moved.
However, he did not know why Father was doing this.
On the throne, a ball of light shot out from the Godking's tiger-like eyes. He was a little surprised and asked, "Why, Your Excellency Chen Xiao, have you changed your mind? I heard that you are unwilling to give in and have rejected the offers of many people. Even when my third brother opened his mouth, you did not agree. You just casually agreed, just for this Mysterious Heaven Spirit Treasure? "
Chen Xiao's heart moved. This old fellow knew quite a lot. It seemed that the Third Prince was really full of his eyes. Every move he made was under his control. Thinking about it, he felt a bit pitiful.
It was like this when he was born in the royal family.
He smiled indifferently and replied, "Yes."
The Godking on the throne also laughed, "So you're saying that just one Mysterious Heaven Spirit Treasure is enough to recruit you and sell your life for me?"
These words were too direct and did not hide anything at all. When the Third Prince heard it, he was a little dumbfounded.
"..." The Third Prince.
Chen Xiao's expression turned serious, and he shook his head, "Your Majesty Godking is wrong. Although the Mysterious Heaven Spirit Treasure is good, it cannot buy my life. But I can do one thing for you, which is to go to the Wushuang Secret Realm and challenge it."
"What?" The Third Prince's eyes instantly widened as he stared at Chen Xiao in disbelief.
This was clearly a deal between the two of them, but now, it had become a deal between Chen Xiao and the Divine Emperor. Wasn't this a bit too strange?
Originally, Chen Xiao had already promised him that he would be his Dao protector and enter the secret realm with him. What had happened?
Logically speaking, his father should have planted so many spies by his side, so he should know about this.
The Divine Emperor's face darkened as he said, "Heh, Violet Cloud City's Chen Xiao, you are quite smart. You have turned the situation around in an instant."
"..."
The Third Prince was a little stunned again. His heart trembled. Could it be...
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "That's right. Your Majesty, the Divine Emperor, has a keen eye and can see through everything. I am indeed interested in exploring the Unparalleled Secret Realm, and I have already agreed to the Third Prince's request. However, once I enter the secret realm, the Third Prince's life and death will have nothing to do with me."
He was not a good person. As long as he entered the secret realm, he would naturally protect himself. The Third Prince's life and death had nothing to do with him.
The Third Prince did not see through this point, but the Divine Emperor had. It had to be said that this emperor, who had been in power for over ten thousand years, had a unique eye.
"Brother Chen Xiao, you..."
The Third Prince stared at Chen Xiao in disbelieve, his eyes filled with disbelief and sadness.
Chen Xiao ignored him, his face expressionless.
The Godking's gaze darkened, and he scolded, "Good, very good. As expected of the vice city lord of the Purple Cloud City. A cultivator who can break through the Great Dao of Longevity is indeed extraordinary. It was Third Brother who underestimated you, which almost caused him to be struck by your Dao. It's his fault for believing in others too much. Sigh."
The Godking's words were full of heartfelt advice. He advised the Third Prince to avoid leaving a mental devil in his heart and to never recover from it. However, it was a pity.
When the Third Prince heard this, he immediately sobered up. He kneeled on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Father is correct. Your son knows his mistake."
The Godking's expression was somewhat gloomy, and there was a trace of disappointment. He sighed and said, "Hmph, it's good that you know."
The Third Prince knelt on the ground and trembled. He did not dare to say anything more, afraid that he would anger the Godking again.
At this time, Chen Xiao's tone changed, and he said, "So, Your Majesty Godking, you want to use this Mysterious Heaven Spirit Treasure to exchange for the Third Prince's life, and want me to protect him in the secret realm?"
"Exactly. Are you willing to agree? If you agree, you will not lose anything from the treasures that you will take out."
The Godking chuckled and said proudly.
In terms of personal strength and cultivation, he was far inferior to Chen Xiao. Moreover, he was old and weak, and he was far inferior. However, in terms of treasures, Chen Xiao was far inferior to him.
The Godking was very confident in this point.
Chen Xiao thought for a moment before saying, "I have yet to step into the secret realm. I still don't know what dangers there are, so I don't dare to guarantee anything to the Godking. However, I can guarantee that I will do my best to protect Third Highness. Even if I die, I will leave a complete corpse."
"..." The Third Prince's face was filled with bitterness, and his back felt cold.
The Divine Emperor laughed heartily and slapped his thigh. "Good, straightforward. Just based on your words, it's enough."
"Men, go to the treasury and retrieve my Shadow Bearing Sword."
"Yes."
The two attendants hurriedly responded.
The Divine Emperor continued, "It's a pity that a genius like you, Chen Xiao, has always been rebellious and unconstrained. Otherwise, I would be willing to pay a price to keep you in the Divine Dynasty and serve me. It's a pity."
The Divine Emperor had a regretful expression, but he was also helpless.
Just now, Chen Xiao had rejected him, so he knew that it was hopeless to recruit him. Thus, he gave up on the idea and took a step back. He would use the Heavenly Spirit Treasure as a price to complete one thing for him.
He would enter the Unparalleled Secret Realm.
This Secret Realm was the Divine Dynasty's biggest secret, and it was also the foundation of the Divine Dynasty. However, something had happened in recent years, and all the cultivators who entered it were not spared. Not a single one of them came out alive.
This made the Divine Emperor extremely anxious. He had to think of a way to solve this problem. However, ordinary people with weak strength were useless even if they were Tribulation Transcenders. As for inviting a Longevity Realm expert to help him, he was afraid that the Longevity Realm expert would harbor evil intentions and harm him instead.
Under the weighing of two factors, the Divine Emperor chose Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao opened his mouth and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, I have a question."
"Tell me about it."
"With His Majesty's Profound Heaven Spirit Treasure, even if a long life powerhouse were to enter the secret realm for His Majesty, it would not be difficult at all. As the old saying goes, birds die for food, and people die for money. There will always be brave men under the heavy reward. Why does His Majesty want to go further?"
Chen Xiao said.
The Divine Emperor nodded and said, "You are right, but I don't trust anyone else. Only you can make me trust you a little. After entering the secret realm, you will still keep the agreement between us. I have always had a good eye for people."
Chen Xiao chuckled, "Heh, Your Majesty, you really think highly of me. Why?"
"There is no other reason. Because you helped Third Brother deal with the evil sect, and you killed two Enlightened Beings of the Evil Sect consecutively. Whether it is character or strength, you are the best choice."
The Divine Emperor said in a deep voice. He was speaking the truth, and there was nothing to hide.
Chen Xiao said with a face full of understanding, "I see."
The Third Prince, who was kneeling on the side and did not dare to make a sound, also heaved a sigh of relief.
He had only seen one person who could speak so boldly and confidently to His Majesty without any hesitation, and he was Li Zhan.
Now, there was another Chen Xiao.
