I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 881 467: The Three Strange Books Are Actually Ingredients!

"Anyway, we just left like this, aren't they going to inspect us?" Qing Feng, despite not understanding the operation, was greatly shocked.

"They've already inspected us long ago. There's no need to wait until we reach the city gate. This is just a point for interception," Ming Yue explained briefly while sitting in the carriage.

This matter is so significant that all forces have secretly inspected us already. If they only checked the people leaving the city, there would be loopholes everywhere.

In fact, anyone who can leave Anchang City is without suspicion.

Emperor Xuan is still alive, the Golden Armor Army is still patrolling, and the various forces are balancing each other out, so they can't go too far.

If people who are truly unsuspected are detained, it might become an excuse for some.

If it were a single force, they might act as they please, but multiple forces have to consider their influence.

"As for you, just leave the 'Xuantian Treasure Record' and you can go," Ming Yue turned to Hu Sanniang and said coldly.

"Didn't we agree that I would lend it to you for a two-hour period? How did it end up becoming yours?" Hu Sanniang protested.

"Heh, what if I go back to the City Guard and tell them a fox spirit has infiltrated our departing convoy? What do you think will happen?" Ming Yue showed no shame in breaking the agreement.

Hu Sanniang was naive, her actions were like asking someone to risk their life to help, and the reward was letting them see a million-dollar bill. Just to see, not to give.

If one could understand and cultivate with the 'Xuantian Treasure Record', it would indeed be worth it, but if one couldn't comprehend or practice it, and could only look at it for two hours, it was as good as getting it for free.

"Are you threatening me?" Hu Sanniang bared her teeth, displeased.

"No, I'm just asking for what I earned from my labor," Ming Yue stated as a fact.

Qing Feng remained silent, watching the scene quietly, equally displeased with Hu Sanniang's behavior.

As to why it wasn't brought up earlier, the reason was simple — fear of Hu Sanniang getting desperate.

Moreover, they weren't fools. What use was making agreements with the Demon Race? The other side first deliberately tricked them, then tried to fool them with some verbal reward. Did they really think they were that dumb?

What Hu Sanniang gave them was certainly not the original 'Xuantian Treasure Record', but a copied text, meaning they never got to see the original.

This led to another concern, whether there was any problem with what the opponent provided.

Indeed, they were only lent a copied text to view for two hours, not gifted it.

"Hmph, humans are indeed untrustworthy, doing treacherous things and still talking so righteously," Hu Sanniang sneered, then her body began to expand, "In that case, I'll send you on your way."

"I hope in your next life you won't be so greedy, or else... huh?"

Before Hu Sanniang could finish her sentence, she felt a fierce killing intent envelop her.

A long knife fell between her neck; any movement and her fox head would fall.

"Damn it, you deceived me. You are cultivators!" Hu Sanniang's expression collapsed.

"Kill her; keeping her is a disaster," Ming Yue said casually.

"Wait, my father is the Nine-tailed Demon Emperor, you can't kill me. If you do, it would ignite a war between humans and demons, and you'll be the culprits."

"Let me go, I will go back and persuade my father..."

Before Hu Sanniang finished her words, Qing Feng acted, and in an instant, the large fox lost its life.

"Ming Yue, is this crazy broad really out of her mind?" Qing Feng thought Hu Sanniang's final words were insane; attempting a coup against Emperor Xuan and then claiming her death would cause war.

Not to mention the constant skirmishes between the two races on the front lines, her assassination attempt alone could spark a war. Moreover, she took the 'Xuantian Treasure Record'. She went so far; did she really think a Demon Emperor father could keep her safe?

If it had been a Demon Emperor with only one child, perhaps, but a Demon Emperor, forget it.

"She must be. Why else would she attempt to assassinate Emperor Xuan?" Ming Yue was speechless too, thinking Hu Sanniang must be an airhead to do something so foolish.

"Found it, it's actually a piece of bone armor, interesting," Qing Feng quickly searched the fox's corpse and found a piece of bone armor, which was naturally the 'Xuantian Treasure Record'.

It was covered in chaotic lines, patterns, etc., absolutely impossible to make sense of.

"Useless, can you understand it?" Ming Yue glanced at it.

"Nope, but this thing is really tough," Qing Feng sliced at the bone armor with his knife, sparks flying, yet it remained scratch-free.

"If I have this thing modified into a knife by my master, it would be indestructible."

Qing Feng wasn't interested in the 'Xuantian Treasure Record', but found the bone armor, its carrier, quite intriguing.

"If people knew your idea, they'd kill you for sure," Ming Yue didn't think much of it, simply disposing of the fox spirit's body, eradicating all traces to ensure it wasn't found.

"What a waste of a good fur; it could have made a fine coat," Qing Feng said wistfully, watching the body be dealt with by Ming Yue.
