Chapter 292: Fourteenth Prince of the Qi Dynasty

Chapter 292: Fourteenth Prince of the Qi Dynasty

As long as it does not harm the interests of the Guangling Academy?

Upon hearing Dong Fangyou's words, even Yu Yucheng, the leader of the Lightning Sword Sect could not help but gasp.

He knew exactly what this meant.

This meant that as long as Zhou Donghuang was willing to exchange his Sky Sun fruit, just one word from him would be enough to make the Guangling Academy send out a mid Divine Transformation adept to kill him, Yu Yucheng!

In fact, to kill any sect leader of the Alliance.

Of course, it would be an assassination.

However, without solid evidence, even if the sects of the Alliance suspected anything, they could not question anyone about the crime.

Yu Yucheng could not help but be amazed by the attractiveness of the Sky Sun fruit.

Hundreds of years ago, the Qi Dynasty had specifically sent out a young lord undercover in one of the sects of the Alliance and won the Sky Sun fruit openly as the champion of the Alliance Hunt.

Now, the Guangling Academy was willing to pay such a high price in exchange for the Sky Sun fruit.

"No deal."

Zhoug Donghuang still shook his head and was not at all swayed by the new offer from Dong Fangyou, the elder from the Guangling Academy.

At this moment, even Yu Yucheng was shocked. He had thought that Zhou Donghuang was going to accept the deal.

After all, the promise for a mid Divine Tansformation adept of the Guangling Academy to fight for him was too valuable, and the offer even included a Tongshen fruit.

In the Lightning Sword Sect, there was only one mid Divine Transformation adept.

Even for sects with profound backgrounds in the Alliance, there were at most two mid Primordial Soul adepts who stayed in the Hengliu galaxy.

As for late Primordial Soul adepts, it was impossible to have any in the sects of the Alliance.

Normally, those with the ability to reach the late Divine Transformation stage in the Hengliu galaxy also had the potential to travel to galaxies with better environments and resources. Most of them would not be willing to stay in any of the sects of the Alliance.

Unlike the two Transcendental Forces of the Hengliu galaxy, even if a late Divine Transformation adept chose to stay there, there would be enough resources for him to use freely.

Of course, even if they were the two Transcendental Forces of the Hengliu galaxy, they were also unable to keep ultimate Divine Transformation adepts.

After all, the Divine Transformation stage was only one stage away from the Separating Divinity stage, and no one was willing to risk staying in the Hengliu galaxy.

What if by staying in Hengliu galaxy, one would never be able to breakthrough?

Was this not equivalent to waiting for death?

"Zhou Donghuang, are you sure you do not want to accept the deal? This is the greatest compromise Guangling Academy can offer, I advise you to consider carefully."

Seeing Zhou Donghuang once again reject the deal, Dong Fangyou thought he wanted to continue bargaining. To cut off Zhou Donghuang's plan, he immediately continued his words.

"Of course, if you have not met with the Qi Dynasty, you should go and meet them first... However, whatever they are willing to offer will never be comparable to the Guangling Academy.

"The Guangling Academy is being very sincere.

"You can pay a visit to the Qi Dynasty first, but if you think that the Guangling Academy's offer is better, you can follow Sect Leader Yu to find me.

"I will wait for you."

With Dong Fangyou's words, it was obvious that the Guangling Academy was extremely confident of the deal they had offered and was not afraid of their competition.

He was sure that Zhou Donghuang only rejected him because he wanted to compare the items offered by the Guangling Academy and the Qi Dynasty.

He would never have imagined that even if he had promised to send a late Divine Transformation adept to fight for Zhou Donghuang, Zhou Donghuang would still have no interest in the offer.

To Zhou Donghuang, the Sky Sun fruit could allow him to reach the Primordial Soul stage in the fastest time possible.

Once he reached the Primordial Soul stage, he would be able to access the treasures that he recalled from the memories of his previous life and get his hands on those treasures which others would have taken.

Now, the thing he lacked the most was time.

With the Sky Sun fruit, not only could he shorten the distance between him and the Primordial Soul stage, it could also shorten the distance between him and the Divine Transformation stage, the Separating Divinity and even the Heavenly stage!

Within the shortest time, he wanted to obtain the peak abilities from his past life and even more!

His birth father and birth mother were waiting for him to save them.

He could not afford to waste a second!

"Sect Leader, let's meet the people from the Qi Dynasty."

At that moment, the thing that Zhou Donghuang wanted to do was to return to the Autumn Valley and refine his Sky Sun fruit into a Sky Sun elixir. The other medicinal herbs required to refine the Sky Sun fruit had already been obtained not long after Zhou Donghuang returned from the Alliance Hunt.

Out of all the medicinal herbs required to refine the Sky Sun elixir, the most important one was the Sky Sun fruit. The other medicinal herbs were precious, but they were not difficult to obtain.

In fact, Zhou Donghuang did not even need to seek help from Sect Leader Yu Yucheng. He simply went to greet the Autumn Valley Head, He Jin, and a few days later, He Jin had prepared all the medicinal herbs and brought them to him.

If not to prevent the people from the Qi Dynasty and the Guangling Academy from disturbing the Autumn Valley, Zhou Donghuang was not at all interested in meeting them.

Under the guidance of Lightning Sect Leader Yu Yucheng, Zhou Donghuang quickly met the people from the Qi Dynasty.

There was a total of two people.

One was a mid-aged gentleman in a sky blue robe, and the other was a young gentleman clad in a flowing robe of silk.

"Fourteenth Prince, this gentlemen is Zhou Donghuang of the Lightning Sword Sect."

Upon meeting the guests from the Qi Dynasty, Yu Yucheng once again introduced, "Zhou Donghuang, this gentleman is the fourteenth prince of the Qi Dynasty, Qi Rui, and this is the Qi Dynasty's official, Chu Wei.

"Mm."

Zhou Donghuang glanced at the both of them and nodded slightly.

"Presumptuous!"

Seeing Zhou Donghuang's cold reaction, the Qi Dynasty official, Chu Wei, who was standing behind the fourteenth prince of the Qi Dynasty, Qi Rui, glared furiously at Zhou Donghuang and yelled, "How dare you not bow down to the fourteenth prince?"

"Why do I have to bow?"

Zhou Donghuang took a quick glance at Chu Wei. "I am not from the Qi Dynasty, why do I have to abide by your meaningless customs?"

"You—!"

Chu Wei was now enraged as he screamed, "Do you really think that you can do anything you want just because you have some talent in the Martial Way? Are you unaware of how powerful the Qi Dynasty is?"

"Official Chu, you are currently in the Lightning Sword Sect'."

Yu Yucheng reminded in an indifferent tone as he glanced slightly at Chu Wei.

Dong Fangyou of the Guangling Academy was the grandson of the current Principal of the Guangling Academy... however, this Chu Wei was only an ordinary official from the Qi Dynasty. He, as the leader of the Lightning Sword Sect, had nothing to be afraid of.

As for the Fourteenth Prince Qi Rui, while he was slightly terrifying, he was nowhere near the level of Dong Fangyou.

Although the Fourteenth Prince was of the royal family, he was considered one of the least talented martial adepts in his generation of Qi Dynasty descendants and usually only played insignificant roles in the Qi Dynasty.

Of course, even if he was not that terrifying, it was still not wise to provoke him on purpose.

"Uncle Chu, Sect Leader Yu is here, you should show him some respect."

Qi Rui slightly glanced at Zhou Donghuang and spoke in a condescending tone, "Zhou Donghuang, your talent is not bad. I represent Qi Dynasty to invite you to join us."

"Not interested."

Zhou Donghuang replied in a calm tone, "If there is no other business, I shall take my leave."

Upon finishing his sentence, Zhou Donghuang turned and walked away.

Just as Qi Rui was about to speak again, Zhou Donghuang continued as he walked out, "Not only am I not interested in going to the Qi Dynasty, I am also not interested in exchanging the Sun Sky fruit for anything... regardless of what Qi Dynasty is able to offer."

With one sentence, Qi Rui became speechless instantly. He could only watch as Zhou Donghuang arrogantly walked away and disappeared in the distance.

"Sect Leader Yu, your Zhou Donghuang of the Lightning Sword Sect is too rude!"

Chu Wei glanced at Yu Yucheng furiously and spoke in a deep voice, "Not only has Zhou Donghuang's actions offended the Fourteenth Prince, he has also offended the Qi Dynasty!"

"Official Chu, Zhou Donghuang is not somebody who you can force to do anything you want."

Although Yu Yucheng felt helpless at the arrogance and fearlessness of Zhou Donghuang, he was not afraid of Chu Wei. He spoke calmly and without emotion, and it was clear that he was protecting Zhou Donghuang.

"Sect Leader Yu."

At that moment, Qi Rui's eyes turned cold and he spoke in a deep voice, "Later, help me pass this message to your so-called elite of the Lightning Sword Sect... in the Hengliu galaxy, an elite who gives up halfway and is unable to grow up is useless!"

Upon hearing his words, Yu Yucheng's face turned pale as his eyes shot out cold rays, "Fourteenth Prince, are you threatening my Lightning Sword Sect disciple?"

"Hmph! Uncle Chu, let's go!"

Qi Rui ignored Yu Yucheng as he called out to Chu Wei and led him out of the door without looking back.

As he watched the backs of the two disappear into the distance, Yu Yucheng's eyes were cold and filled with a murderous glint, but in the end, he still did not do anything.

Killing the two of them was not at all difficult for him. However, the consequences of killing them was not something he or the Lightning Sword Sect could bear.

Although the fourteenth prince of the Qi Dynasty, Qi Rui, did not have a high status, he was still the bloodline of King Qi. If he was to die in the hands of the Lightning Sword Sect, the Qi Dynasty will definitely not show them any mercy!

"Seems like I will have to warn Zhou Donghuang to refrain from going out if there is no important business... and even if he has to go out, he should still tell me beforehand."

Regarding Qi Rui threats, Yu Yucheng dare not take them lightly.

Although Qi Rui did not have a high status in the Qi Dynasty, it was only among the royal family. His one word could still gather countless Qi Dynasty Primordial Soul adepts.

Even Chu Wei, a Qi Dynasty Official, was an ultimate Primordial Soul adept.

Normally, Qi Rui might not be able to give orders to Chu Wei. However, as Zhou Donghuang had also enraged Chu Wei, it was possible that he would be willing to harm Zhou Donghuang.

"Oh no, I have to warn Zhou Donghuang this instant!"

Yu Yucheng grew increasingly worried the more he thought about it. In a moment, he began to swiftly head towards the direction of the Autumn Valley.

As Zhou Donghuang was about to reach the Autumn Valley, Yu Yucheng caught up to him. "Sect Leader?"

"You are not here to tell me about the conditions the Qi Dynasty has offered to exchange for my Sky Sun fruit... right? If you are, there is no need to continue as I will never exchange my Sky Sun fruit for anything."

Zhou Donghuang's tone was extremely strong!
