The Di Alliance merely sneered when they heard his words. They viewed those words as a deathbed struggle, and they felt extremely refreshed listening to his shouts. That was especially true for Di Lin, who was confident Xiang Shaoyun would die this time.
Without Situ Yan’s manipulation of Situ Yan, the Spatial Suppression Diagram maintained its state. Nobody would be able to withdraw it unless it was an expert with a strength beyond the diagram’s.
Since there were no Sovereigns in this restricted space, Di Lin and company were sure nobody could remove the Spatial Suppression Diagram, which meant that Xiang Shaoyun would ultimately perish together with the restricted space.
“Junior brother, I have sacrificed so much for you. Remember to reward me amply,” said Situ Yan with a coquettish tone as she glued her body onto Di Lin. While she said that, she did not forget to toss Xia Yunxi a gaze of inexplicable meaning. However, Xia Yunxi pretended she didn’t see anything, her feelings complicated.
Di Lin smiled. “I will not forget your kindness, senior sister.”
Di Lin no longer cared much about Xia Yunxi. Perhaps he still liked her, but he would not give up on Situ Yan’s feelings for him. After all, it was normal for a man to have multiple wives. It was normal for Di Lin to have such a thought, as that was a thought many men would have.
Apart from Situ Yan’s background, the other reason Di Lin treated her better was that Xia Yunxi had not remained to fight Xiang Shaoyun to the end at the Flame Mountains. He had started suspecting that she still had feelings for Xiang Shaoyun.
That was the real reason Di Lin finally accepted Situ Yan. Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun was watching at the departing group with a toying expression, his previous anxiousness nowhere to be seen.
At this time, Ouyang Chuanqi, who was concealed, finally showed himself. “You don’t seem nervous. Do you have a plan?”
“What plan could I have? I’ll just wait for my death here,” said Xiang Shaoyun. His eyes glowed with a crafty light as he said, “Why don’t you remove the Spatial Suppression Diagram and free me?”
“You overestimate me. I’m not strong enough to deal with that diagram,” said Ouyang Chuanqi with a shrug.
Although the Spatial Suppression Diagram was a counterfeit, it was still a saint weapon. How could an Emperor do anything against it? Only if he also had a saint weapon would he be able to remove the diagram. However, saint weapons were rare. Even some Saint Realm experts did not have one.
The reason for the rarity was the low number of Saint Realm crafters. And the rarer something was, the greater its value. That was why saint weapons were so valuable.
“Well, looks like I’m dead then,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a sigh.
Ouyang Chuanqi looked at Xiang Shaoyun with a complicated gaze. He could not see any trace of anxiousness. Thus, he was sure Xiang Shaoyun had a way of freeing himself. But he could not figure out how Xiang Shaoyun would achieve it.
“Do you want to make a bet?” Xiang Shaoyun suddenly asked.
“What bet?” Ouyang Chuanqi asked curiously.
“If I can escape in the blink of an eye, you will join the Overlord Legion and become my deputy commander. What do you think?” Xiang Shaoyun asked with a toying look on his face.
Ouyang Chuanqi’s mouth went wide agape when he heard him. He could not understand why Xiang Shaoyun was still confident. Even he himself would not be able to remain calm in such a situation.
“You must be trying to scam me. I won’t fall for it,” said Ouyang Chuanqi.
“You’re so smart. You really think I can leave so easily?” Xiang Shaoyun asked, still with the same toying tone.
“Since you are so calm, of course I believe that,” said Ouyang Chuanqi with a nod.
In a way, each genius was a fortuitous individual. Someone with a high-grade nine-star physique like Xiang Shaoyun definitely had considerable luck as well. The calmer Xiang Shaoyun was, the more Ouyang Chuanqi was sure that he had a great trump card left.
“Fine. You’re no fun. You may leave now,” said Xiang Shaoyun, who suddenly lost his interest.
He thought he would be able to provoke Ouyang Chuanqi into a bet, but it seemed Ouyang Chuanqi had been able to maintain his rationale. His plan of scamming an expert into joining the Overlord Legion would not succeed.
“I’ll be waiting to see you come out,” said Ouyang Chuanqi.
“Nope. Not leaving. I’ll be waiting for death here. Look at the chaotic force fields. This place will collapse at any time,” said Xiang Shaoyun stubbornly.
Ouyang Chuanqi’s face twitched as he felt that Xiang Shaoyun was immersing too deeply in his acting.
“Fine. So long as you can leave easily and remove the Spatial Suppression Diagram, I will agree to your request,” said Ouyang Chuanqi after some hesitation.
“For real?” Xiang Shaoyun grew excited.
“I, Ouyang Chuanqi, never go back on my words,” said Ouyang Chuanqi as he slapped his chest.
“Good. Pay attention,” said Xiang Shaoyun as a chakram appeared in his hand. As he circulated his astral energy, he slashed at the suppression wall formed by the Spatial Suppression Diagram.
The chakram erupted with power, but instead of colliding with the Spatial Suppression Diagram’s wall, it brought Xiang Shaoyun and phased right through it. Ouyang Chuanqi watched on silently, his eyes wide open in shock and disbelief.
“Alright. I’m out,” said Xiang Shaoyun nonchalantly.
“Y-you actually has a spatial saint weapon!” Ouyang Chuanqi said after recovering from his shock.
“Good eyes,” said Xiang Shaoyun. He then sent the chakram flying toward the Spatial Suppression Diagram.
In a flash, the chakram arrived above the Spatial Suppression Diagram with a loud rumble. The Spatial Suppression Diagram was struck down, and the radiance around it immediately dimmed. At the same time, the suppression walls collapsed.
Xiang Shaoyun waved his hand, and he caught both the chakram and Spatial Suppression Diagram. With the Spatial Suppression Diagram in hand, he found that there were cracks on the diagram. It was probably near destruction.
“Come, Deputy Commander Ouyang. Consider this Spatial Suppression Diagram a welcoming gift from me. Take it! Don’t stand on ceremony!” Xiang Shaoyun gave it to Ouyang Chuanqi without any hesitation.
When Ouyang Chuanqi saw the cracks on the Spatial Suppression Diagram, he did not know if he should laugh or cry.
“Thank you, Overlord,” said Ouyang Chuanqi with a sigh.
He was used to life as a loner, yet he was suddenly scammed into a faction and was even appointed the deputy commander. He found it hard to adjust to his new status. In fact, with his strength, he could easily form a faction of his own.
