"I've heard of that Tianyuan artifact too. To stand against a Tianjun-class astralship, it was already terrifying enough. And those two women you mentioned were worth only slightly less than Lin Feng. Most importantly... Weisheng Moran was more important to you than even the Sword God Star ruins, wasn't she?"
Shenxi Xingtian knew the value of Weisheng Moran.
This was the leverage he held!
"If she weren't important, would I have come all this way? Without the Sword God Star ruins, could you have sent me away?" Meng Ying sneered.
"You flatter me, sir," Shenxi Xingtian hurriedly said.
"Be straightforward, brother. Cooperation is only possible when both sides are satisfied," Meng Ying said.
Shenxi Xingtian gritted his teeth, then finally nodded. "Fine. The Tianyuan artifact, and Lin Feng's three women—they all belong to you."
"A deal?" Meng Ying asked calmly.
"A promise as weighty as the Nine Cauldrons," Shenxi Xingtian said.
"Not bad, not bad. Straightforward enough." Meng Ying was finally satisfied.
With that, the negotiations over the spoils had ended.
"So the problem now is that there's another target: that Sanctuary-class world. I heard it can hide itself?" Meng Ying asked.
"Yes. My people contacted the surviving Star Hunters and found the place where they fought back then. That star had long since departed," Shenxi Xingtian said.
"Can we determine whether Li Tianming is on that Sanctuary-class star or on Sword God Star?" Meng Ying asked.
"There's no way to determine that. From a security standpoint, he should be on Sword God Star. However, during this period, my puppets have seen the Sword God Star ruins leave Sword God Star. Not often, though," Shenxi Xingtian said.
"Then that means they could also be in that Sanctuary-class world... Have your informants on Sword God Star seen them?" Meng Ying asked.
