Within Bank of the Universe, Trading Hall, a round table.
Li Xiandao sat on one side, the demon sat on one side, and Zhong Zi Qi sat on one side. They formed a triangle.
“Now, both of you can bring me huge gains, so I don’t want to abandon either of you.” Li Xiandao spoke his true thoughts.
He said it without any hesitation!
Of course, this was because Li Xiandao had nothing to fear. He was the safest out of all of them and was just the fisherman.
Zhong Zi Qi and the demon kept silent and listened.
The demon’s trump card were those 12 Demon God Pillars but he was faking it as he didn’t know where they were.
So, the demon needed Zhong Zi Qi’s body badly.
Zhong Zi Qi was also scared. Although he could take 50 Celestial Artifacts out, in truth, he was the weakest of three sides.
If Li Xiandao didn’t care about him, the demon would steal his body.
Although he entered with the watch, if he couldn’t convince Li Xiandao, then everything would be for nothing.
So, the two of them kept silent.
“I hope that the both of you can voice your troubles. Then, I will help all of you solve them and come up with a suitable outcome for everyone.” Li Xiandao looked at the two of them and said.
The demon and Zhong Zi Qi’s minds were filled with thoughts.
“Let’s start from you.” Li Xiandao saw that neither wanted to speak, so he pointed at the demon.
Zhong Zi Qi looked at the demon with a solemn expression.
Li Xiandao looked on quietly.
“I have to steal a body. I can’t remain in this soul state for long. My body was shattered 100,000 years ago and I was suppressed for 100,000 years. After the seal was weakened, I was able to come out. Zhong Zi Qi’s body is the vessel that is most suitable for me.” Demon said his troubles.
Li Xiandao nodded, “Are there any more?”
“I can give you a chance. I will occupy his body and let his soul come out. Then, Master you can help him find a body.” The demon suggested.
Zhong Zi Qi shook his head.
“Are there any more?” Li Xiandao asked.
“Not for now.” The demon shook his head.
Li Xiandao looked at Zhong Zi Qi and said, “What about you?”
“I can’t give this body to the demon. He had no rights and wanted to steal my body. That is just so rude and I didn’t agree.” Zhong Zi Qi was unhappy.
“I am a demon.” The demon said coldly. As a demon from hell, he didn’t care about morals.
Li Xiandao glanced and said coldly, “He is speaking, you shut up.”
The demon was terrified. He immediately kept quiet and didn’t interfere.
Li Xiandao said calmly, “Continue.”
“I have to take revenge with this body. I can’t use other bodies to take revenge.” Zhong Zi Qi looked at Li Xiandao with a hopeful gaze.
Li Xiandao had an idea, Zhong Zi Qi’s hatred might have been the key to all this.
“Why have you got so much pent up hatred?” Li Xiandao asked.
Zhong Zi Qi was solemn, “My family, my homeland, and the people who I grew up with were burned by flames from the sky. I want to take revenge.”
“As long as you help me take revenge, I don’t mind giving this body to the demon. But before this, I need to use the body to take revenge.” Zhong Zi Qi said firmly.
Li Xiandao was delighted. As expected, the key to this was in Zhong Zi Qi’s body.
“So, can you tell me who your enemy is?” Li Xiandao asked.
“I don’t know.” Zhong Zi Qi was despondent and lowered his head.
Li Xiandao blinked and asked, “You don’t know or you can’t find him?”
“That fire descended from the sky. I was out hunting and when I returned, it was too late. My wife, my granddaughter, my parents, and my best friend were all turned to dust. On the island my home was on, there was only a furnace that spat out flames.” Zhong Zi Qi took in a deep breath and gritted his teeth.
Li Xiandao looked at him and said, “So, this furnace is the key evidence.”
“Right, but unfortunately, I have roamed through the Nine Skies and searched many lands but I didn’t find any news about the furnace.” Zhong Zi Qi was disappointed.
“Take out that furnace. Let us take a look.” Li Xiandao thought about it and said.
Zhong Zi Qi immediately took out a 10-meter tall furnace from his Mountain River Map.
Dong!
It stood on three legs. The furnace had two ears and many mysterious words carved on it. There were animals, flying birds, monsters, phoenixes, qilins, Xuanwu, God Dragon, etc…
The words on the furnace were hard to read. It wasn’t any language that Li Xiandao recognized.
Zhong Zi Qi said regretfully, “I searched the Nine Skies for books all because of these words. I found all the scholars, the literate people and anyone who studied history but none of them recognized it.”
“That is cuneiform.” The demon suddenly said.
Shua!
Li Xiandao and Zhong Zi Qi stared at him right away.
Zhong Zi Qi’s eyes lit up and he shook, “You recognize these words?”
Demon smiled confidently, “I am a demon from Hell. Such cuneiform words are rare and precious. Normal people don’t know about it but I do.”
“Tell me, what is written on it?” Zhong Zi Qi asked eagerly.
The demon remained silent and looked at Li Xiandao.
Li Xiandao said calmly, “If I help you find the owner of the furnace, what will you do?”
Zhong Zi Qi thought about it, “Once I take revenge, I will give you this body and I will find another one myself.”
Demon blinked, “You can’t take revenge alone.”
Zhong Zi Qi frowned. He looked at the demon and didn’t understand, “What do you mean?”
Li Xiandao looked quietly.
“The words say that this furnace belongs to Huode Starlord. He is an elder that controls flames in the Celestial World Imperial Dynasty. He is a famous Celestial from the Celestial World. You cultivated for 3,000 years and are only about to enter Grandmaster Realm. You alone won’t reach Celestial Realm, so you can’t take revenge.” The demon added.
When Zhong Zi Qi heard this, he sat there in a daze. He didn’t expect that this furnace would belong to Huoda Starlord from the Celestial World Celestial Dynasty.
As the demon said, Zhong Zi Qi himself wouldn’t be able to take revenge.
This felt really unbearable.
He knew the enemy but realized the gap between the enemy and himself was too huge. It was like the difference between heaven and earth and it made Zhong Zi Qi want to cry.
He had no ability. He couldn’t take revenge for his children and parents…
Zhong Zi Qi started to hate himself.
“So, let’s merge together and share this body. We will cultivate the supreme Demon Summoning Technique and I promise that you will be able to personally kill him.” Demon tempted him.
