Chapter 340 - 334: Wu Nengsheng’s Three Treasures
After listening to Wu Nengsheng’s explanation, although the people present didn’t believe it, they all looked at Elder Bai in unison.
This time, the fundamental purpose of letting Lin Yuan enter the City of Sin was to release the native prisoners held in the Eighteen Layers of Great Hell and the Eighteen Layers of Minor Hell, and to destroy the third Dharma body of the World Honored.
Now, as long as Zhang Jiao kills Guangmu Heaven and Zengzhang Heaven, this mission will be considered successfully completed.
However, Wu Nengsheng’s request to release Guangmu Heaven and Zengzhang Heaven could complicate matters unexpectedly.
Moreover, even though Wu Nengsheng’s reasons seemed aboveboard, everyone could see that he actually wanted to use the excuse of thwarting the World Honored’s path to accomplish some personal aim.
Among the crowd, the only one who can communicate and connect with Lin Yuan is Elder Bai.
This matter still needs Elder Bai to decide.
Elder Bai has lived for countless years, having been born in the same era as the World Honored; his wisdom is unimaginable.
After pondering for a moment, Elder Bai felt that agreeing or not to Wu Nengsheng’s request would not affect the overall situation.
Elder Bai has always been cautious. To avoid unforeseen complications, he still decided to refuse.
However, in a moment’s thought, Elder Bai thought of Lin Yuan.
The World Honored’s phalanx had pierced through his Turtle Shell, greatly reducing its capacity to bear the Power of Faith.
Maybe, it wouldn’t be long before his Turtle Shell would be filled by the Power of Faith.
That dirty Power of Faith is something that could be fatal to Lin Yuan.
Once the Power of Faith fills the Turtle Shell and spreads back to Lin Yuan, it would mark Lin Yuan’s demise.
The World Honored and the first-generation Rebirth Saint Mother are the only two who know how to utilize this kind of filthy Power of Faith.
Elder Bai believes that, in this world, besides the World Honored and the first-generation Rebirth Saint Mother, if there is a third person who knows how to use such filthy Power of Faith, it must be Wu Nengsheng.
As things have progressed to this point, their major task is already completed.
Guangmu Heaven and Zengzhang Heaven are merely insignificant figures.
If releasing the two of them could solve the major trouble of the Power of Faith on Lin Yuan.
Then, Elder Bai feels it would be worthwhile.
Upon thinking of this, Elder Bai said to Wu Nengsheng, "According to my sense of decorum with that young lad, getting him to spare Guangmu Heaven and Zengzhang Heaven is almost impossible."
However, Wu Nengsheng was also a clever person and understood the implicit meaning in Elder Bai’s words.
Elder Bai said "almost impossible," not "absolutely impossible."
Then, this matter is not without room for negotiation.
"At this moment, we naturally have to rely on Elder Bai!" Wu Nengsheng complimented.
However, Elder Bai clearly wasn’t swayed by this.
"Relying on me is useless. That youngster values interests the most; you probably noticed that my Turtle Shell is already in his hands."
"That Turtle Shell was precisely the compensation for allowing him to enter the City of Sin." At this, Elder Bai paused before continuing, "To make that young man stop, what price are you willing to pay?"
At this moment, in the scene within the mirror, Zhang Jiao had already started attacking Guangmu Heaven and Zengzhang Heaven again.
Zhang Jiao had a heart set on victory, while Guangmu Heaven and Zengzhang Heaven had no will to continue the fight. With this shift in emotions, the two were even more embarrassed and helpless.
Wu Nengsheng thought that if he kept delaying, Guangmu Heaven and Zengzhang Heaven would perish at Zhang Jiao’s hands, and then there would be nothing more to discuss.
"Elder Bai, just say what you want to say directly!"
"If we delay any longer, with Guangmu Heaven and Zengzhang Heaven dead, there would be nothing more to negotiate!" Wu Nengsheng said with a wry smile.
Seeing that Guangmu Heaven and Zengzhang Heaven could hardly hold on, Elder Bai stopped beating around the bush and directly put forward his request: "That young man is troubled by the Power of Faith from the native inhabitants of the City of Sin, and I would like you to help him resolve this issue."
Wu Nengsheng: "?????"
Wu Nengsheng thought, you dare to make such a demand!
Wu Nengsheng spread his hands, making a bear-like gesture of helplessness, and said, "Elder Bai, you certainly think highly of me!"
"As everyone knows, across the Mysterious World, from ancient times to the present, only those two have been able to utilize the Power of Faith in this world, and only they have collected the Power of Faith."
"I really can’t accomplish this matter."
Seeing Wu Nengsheng’s expression, it didn’t seem like he was lying.
Elder Bai was just trying his luck, with the mentality to see if Wu Nengsheng had a means to solve the Power of Faith issue.
Since Wu Nengsheng didn’t, then the second plan would be implemented.
"Golden Gong, Alms Bowl, or Bag, give one." Elder Bai said straightforwardly.
Wu Nengsheng had three magical artifacts, which were precisely the ones Elder Bai just mentioned.
"You..."
"You are asking way too much. The value of my three artifacts is such that not even ten Guangmu Heavens and Zengzhang Heavens could compare to just one of them." Wu Nengsheng pointed at Elder Bai, angrily.
After hearing Elder Bai’s request, even the usually jovial Wu Nengsheng couldn’t help but twitch his face out of anger.
"Guangmu Heaven and Zengzhang Heaven, mere Tier Four beings, naturally aren’t as valuable as your treasures."
"However, your motive for keeping those two is more valuable than these three treasures." Elder Bai stopped pretending and directly pointed out that he had seen through Wu Nengsheng’s ulterior motives.
Then, Elder Bai also stated bluntly, "I’ll be honest with you too, my Turtle Shell was penetrated by the World Honored’s phalanx and can no longer bear those filthy Powers of Faith for this young man."
"Once the filthy Power of Faith leaks from the Turtle Shell, this young man will undoubtedly die."
"This young man is the World Honored’s fated adversary; by keeping him alive, we have a greater chance against the World Honored."
"Any of your three magical artifacts is more suitable than my Turtle Shell for bearing the Power of Faith."
"Besides, it’s not like we’re taking your artifact forever, just temporarily lending it to him. If someday he finds a way to resolve the filthy Power of Faith, the artifact can be returned to you."
However, Wu Nengsheng sneered at Elder Bai’s words.
He believed that Elder Bai truly wanted to keep Lin Yuan alive, but as for the part about returning the artifact someday, he was a hundredfold skeptical.
Solutions to the filthy Power of Faith eluded even those among the Tier Two powerhouses.
That young lad, merely a Tier Four, might never resolve it in his lifetime.
A lifetime?
Suddenly, Wu Nengsheng thought of the key point.
This young man is the World Honored’s fated adversary, the crucial figure in resolving the World Honored.
Then, after resolving the World Honored.
He could directly kill this young man, eliminating the filthy Power of Faith.
His treasure could thus be reclaimed!
With this thought, Wu Nengsheng’s objective was clarified; that’s how it should be done.
He furrowed his brow, contemplating in his mind which of the three treasures to hand over to Elder Bai with minimal impact on his own strength.
After a moment, Wu Nengsheng selected one of the treasures from the three.
