Chapter 197: Your Loyalty Is Not Enough
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Demon Frog was dazzled. Everything he saw previously was like a mirror that had suddenly collapsed.
He appeared in a bright and golden main hall. The decorations were really elegant and there was a trading table in the middle of the hall.
There was a mysterious masked man sitting there.
And a top beauty was standing by his side.
This was Li Xiandao and Seven whom Demon Frog had seen previously.
The 100-meter tall Demon Frog's body had shrunk and he was now the size of a human. With a leap, he landed right in front of Li Xiandao.
"You are the Master of the Nine Tail Master Fox?" The Demon Frog sized up Li Xiandao and realized that he was unable to see through him. He was shocked and asked.
"Yes, the Bank of the Universe Master welcomes you, my guest!" Li Xiandao nodded his head.
"The Bank of the Universe?" Demon Frog looked at Li Xiandao with one big eye and he didn't know what this place was.
"In the Bank of the Universe, as long as you have enough treasures, you will be able to exchange for anything you want." Li Xiandao said leisurely.
"Anything?" Demon Frog stared right at Li Xiandao with his one eye.
"Right, anything!" Li Xiandao waved his hand and a chair appeared behind Demon Frog.
"Sit down. Standing for a long time will make me feel like I am bullying a handicapped person." Li Xiandao said calmly.
Demon Frog couldn't be called handicapped; he was a person on the brink of death.
Even if he managed to survive an attack, he was on his last breaths and was close to death.
Demon Frog sat down and thought about it. He stared at Li Xiandao and asked once more, "Anything?"
Li Xiandao nodded his head and said, "The prerequisite is... what price can you pay?"
"What do you mean?" His heart tightened.
"I will give you something of equal value to what you can give me." Li Xiandao answered truthfully.
"I have no physical item on me and I have lost half my body and my home. Now, I can only hide in Great Green Mountain and can't even head back into Ancient Buddha Land." Demon Frog was dejected.
He didn't know what he could take out to exchange.
"You are too humble. You still have many treasures." Li Xiandao waved his hand.
"How do you not know that?" Demon Frog said with a weird expression.
"Your lifespan... you are a monster and your lifespan is much longer than a human's!" Li Xiandao raised one finger.
"Your talent. It is quite unbelievable for one frog to cultivate to such a realm. That is also a treasure of yours!" Li Xiandao raised his second finger.
Demon Frog was just an ordinary frog but to reach Legend 33rd Stage 8,000 years ago, that meant that he was a legend, which was why Li Xiandao wanted his talent too.
"Also, you can use your loyalty to exchange for what you want." Li Xiandao raised his third finger.
Demon Frog swallowed his saliva and said, "Are you thinking about dissecting me?"
Li Xiandao laughed and raised his fourth finger, "I also want your soul, so I can use it too."
"Your cultivation, that immense strength can also be used." Li Xiandao raised his fifth finger.
Demon Frog felt a shiver down his spine as Li Xiandao sliced him open and took him apart bit by bit.
"I want you to help me return to Ancient Buddha Land and collect the other half of my body and save my brothers. Then, I will destroy Ancient Buddha Land's Dalin Temple!" Demon Frog stated his request.
Li Xiandao listened. He had many requests, so he asked, "What can you give me?"
"My loyalty!" Demon Frog was very smart. He knew why Wu Xian'er called Li Xiandao her Master. She had definitely paid her loyalty.
Demon Frog didn't care about loyalty. Moreover, if he paid his loyalty, then they would be on the same side.
Since they were on the same side, then he would have to help him.
His loyalty not only protected himself, but he also gained Li Xiandao's support.
Demon Frog's cultivation had gotten so high not only because of his own skill but because of his intelligence too.
Li Xiandao shook his head and rejected, "Your loyalty is only enough for me to help you get half your body back. It will also happen in 10 years. As for the others, it is not enough!"
Li Xiandao didn't have many people under him but he did have a few. He didn't need the loyalty of other people.
His loyalty for Li Xiandao attacking Dalin Temple... Li Xiandao wasn't so dumb to agree to this.
"Then, what do you need?" Demon Frog sighed. Since Li Xiandao didn't fall for it, then this would be slightly problematic.
"Do you still have such a high goal?" Li Xiandao asked.
Apart from Demon Frog's own body, the Demon Frog had nothing else. Li Xiandao wouldn't fight Ancient Buddha Land's Dalin Temple just for him.
"Right!" Demon Frog nodded his head firmly.
"Then, I am sorry. Even if you dissected yourself, it would only be enough for me to take the other half of your body." Li Xiandao said regretfully.
"Am I just so useless?" Demon Frog asked with an ugly expression.
"It is already not bad that you can exchange for half your body. What else do you want?" Li Xiandao asked.
"Let me think about how I can be valuable." Demon Frog started to think.
Li Xiandao looked on at him silently and didn't have too much hope.
He had hid in Great Green Mountain for 8,000 years and didn't show himself, so what other trump card could he have?
Demon Frog thought about it. What other advantages did he have?
Treasures?
The monk from the Nine Skies shattered it!
Spiritual mountain manor?
The monk occupied it!
Treasures?
All of which were used up in that battle!
Finished. Demon Frog realized that he really was poor.
"Have you thought about it?" Li Xiandao asked.
Demon Frog's face was bitter, "I have one last thing that should be worth it. "
Li Xiandao said in disbelief, "Go ahead!"
"My life as well as the lives of my seven brothers all belong to you!" The Demon Frog said solemnly.
Li Xiandao wasn't touched. "They won't agree."
"I am their big brother and we are connected by blood. Since I am trying to save them, they have to agree." Demon Frog said firmly. This was to save the seven of them.
"If the seven of them aren't strong, then it will still be useless." Li Xiandao said calmly.
"All of us are at Legend Stage 33. We are just a bit away from entering the Nine Skies." Demon Frog said.
Li Xiandao was touched.
"Moreover, I just need you to save them and not fight with Dalin Temple." Demon Frog chose to save his brothers and gave up on fighting against Dalin Temple.
Li Xiandao's eyes lit up and he raised his thumb, "Seven, prepare the contract!"
Seven took out a contract and passed it to Li Xiandao.
Li Xiandao passed the contract and a brush to Demon Frog. "Sign it and the contract will immediately come into effect."
Demon Frog looked at the words on the contract and occassionally he would frown. "Why do we need to wait for a period of time before we can head to Ancient Buddha Land?"
Only
Li Xiandao said, "That is because we haven't solved all our matters in Eternal Land!"
In truth, Li Xiandao wanted to give himself and his men a period of time to cultivate and strengthen themselves.
Ancient Buddha Land's Dalin Temple could defeat Demon Frog and his seven brothers which showed how strong they were. Li Xiandao didn't have the confidence now, so he wanted to wait a little.
Of course, he couldn't tell that to Demon Frog.
"You have already waited for 8,000 years, so what is one and a half more!" Li Xiandao said calmly.
That did make sense. Since he could wait for so long, he could wait a while longer.
He looked at the contract carefully and decided to sign it.
