When Sleep Comes, Someone Brings a Pillow

According to what Wu Tian knew, the Northern Profound Origin Control Water Flag should have been in Kunpeng's possession. He just did not know whether Kunpeng had obtained this treasure by now...

Besides, there was another point.

Kunpeng himself possessed relatively few treasures.

Thus, he placed great importance on magic treasures. Otherwise, there would not have been that famous scene in later generations—during the final battle between the Witch Clan and Demon Clan, when he saw the situation turning sour, he directly swept up the River Chart and Luo Book and fled...

"No matter! Kunpeng owes me a favor!"

"If he is willing to discuss this properly... then all the better. We can use the Northern Profound Origin Control Water Flag to settle our Karma. If he is unwilling... then there is nothing to be done!"

Wu Tian considered himself someone who sided with family rather than reason.

Xuan Ming had treated him so well, so naturally he would stand on her side. Even if he had to make a move against Kunpeng, he would find a way to obtain that treasure.

But Wu Tian had never expected this:

He had only mentioned it a couple of times, and Kunpeng appeared directly before him!

As Wu Tian was pondering inwardly, Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin's expressions suddenly changed, and the barrier surrounding everyone came to an abrupt halt.

Dijiang shouted angrily, "Who is ahead? How dare you block the path of our Witch Clan!"

As he spoke, he was about to rush into Chaos and attack the figure before them. Startled, Wu Tian hurriedly looked ahead and quickly pulled Dijiang back.

"Kunpeng?" Wu Tian cried out.

Who else could that lonely figure in black robes be but Kunpeng? "What a coincidence. Whatever I think of just appears!"

Wu Tian muttered to himself.

Back in Zixiao Palace, when Wu Tian had left, he had not paid any attention to Kunpeng. Presumably, Kunpeng had slipped away quietly after the sermon ended...

He had not expected him to be waiting in Chaos!

Wu Tian's eyes flickered as he spoke softly to Dijiang, "Brother, do not be hasty. I'll go take a look..."

Dijiang frowned slightly, concern evident in his eyes. Wu Tian had grown up under their protection and had scarcely faced any danger.

What if Kunpeng decided to cause trouble?

Seeing this, Wu Tian reassured him again. "Do not worry!"

"Kunpeng still owes us Karma. He definitely did not come here to cause trouble..."

He then looked toward Xuan Ming.

The smile on his face grew even wider.

"Sister Xuan Ming truly has good fortune. It is like bringing a pillow just when sleep comes—your luck cannot be stopped..."

After saying this, he walked straight out of the barrier, leaving the Ancestral Witches staring at one another. Xuan Ming was especially confused, blinking a few times.

Good fortune?

What did Kunpeng have to do with her?

Wu Tian had not had time to tell the Ancestral Witches what he had been thinking before Kunpeng appeared, so they were naturally baffled.

But they had no time to think further.

They hurriedly looked toward Wu Tian!

Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin were especially vigilant. They muttered inwardly that if Kunpeng showed even the slightest ill intent, they would strike immediately...

Chaos would become his burial ground!

At this moment, Wu Tian had already stepped out of the barrier and into Chaos. A faint aura immediately spread from his body, and his flesh seemed to be bathed in treasure light!

The Primordial Chaos Qi was instantly pushed aside.

Only then did Wu Tian smile and say:

"Fellow Kunpeng..."

"Did you come looking for me?"

Kunpeng's face was extremely grim. After Wu Tian appeared, he spoke softly:

"Regarding the matter of the seats..."

"I owe you Karma!"

"How would you like to settle it?"

Wu Tian found this somewhat strange.

Was Kunpeng not said to be reclusive, vindictive, and greedy for treasures? Why had he come chasing after him to repay the Karma?

Seeing Wu Tian's surprised expression, Kunpeng said calmly:

"I, Kunpeng, do not wish to owe anyone favors..."

"Whatever it is, it is better to settle it clearly!"

Wu Tian laughed.

However, he did not directly mention the Northern Profound Origin Control Water Flag. Instead, he chuckled and said:

"Then how do you intend to settle it?"

"Or rather, what can you give us, or what can you do for our Witch Clan?"

Kunpeng opened his mouth.

Suddenly, he found himself at a loss for words!

In terms of strength, he was not even a match for the Twelve Ancestral Witches...

In terms of magic treasures, Kunpeng possessed pitifully few. He was one of the most famously impoverished figures in the Primordial Wilderness, worse even than the two from the West who complained of poverty all day long.

But this truly was what he had intended.

Especially after seeing the Ancestral Witches' arrogant and domineering manner earlier, Kunpeng had become extremely wary and felt more strongly than ever:

It was better to settle this as soon as possible!

Otherwise, the trouble involved would be no less than offending Jieyin and Zhunti...

After thinking it over again and again,

he had come to wait within Chaos!

But Wu Tian's question left Kunpeng not knowing what to say, even making him feel somewhat embarrassed...

"Indeed..."

"What do I have that can repay this Karma?"

Kunpeng sighed inwardly.

Seeing this, Wu Tian stopped beating around the bush and directly stated his request with a light laugh:

"Very well..."

"Then I will not stand on ceremony. Is the Northern Mysterious Darkness Water Control Banner, one of the Innate Five Elements Flag, in your possession?"

"If you have it, I hope to use this treasure to settle the Karma between us..."

Kunpeng's gaze changed sharply!

A hint of keen sharpness suddenly appeared in his eyes as he looked coldly at Wu Tian. The Ancestral Witches immediately rose to their feet, glaring at Kunpeng with unfriendly expressions.

But Kunpeng acted as though he had not seen them...

His expression shifted repeatedly.

A moment later.

He finally gritted his teeth and nodded. A pained look appeared on his face. Though he was extremely reluctant, he waved his hand and sent out a streak of black mystical light.

Whoosh!

A pitch-black triangular flag appeared between them, shrouded in an incomparably profound and heavy Dao aura that instantly pushed the Primordial Chaos Qi far away...

"Take it!"

Kunpeng spoke through gritted teeth.

The only treasures he could show off, aside from this Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, were Kunpeng Hall. At this moment, it was like cutting out a piece of his own flesh!

But what else could he do?

He did not want to owe the Witch Clan Karma. Since he had come to them himself, he could not possibly lie or refuse to give it!

Yet what puzzled Kunpeng was this:

After taking out the Northern Mysterious Darkness Water Control Banner, although he was still reluctant to part with it, he somehow felt as though a heavy burden had been lifted. Even his Fortune seemed to undergo a faint change...

"Hm?"

"What is going on?"

After secretly letting out a breath of relief,

he could not make sense of it no matter how much he thought about it. In the end, he attributed it to settling the Karma and the clarity it brought to himself.

Naturally, he did not know that Wu Tian had already set his sights on this treasure and had resolved to obtain it for Xuan Ming. If Kunpeng refused to hand it over, the Ancestral Witches would have seized it by force!

Thus,

it also counted as averting a calamity!

Wu Tian looked at the Northern Mysterious Darkness Water Control Banner as it slowly flew toward him.

The tiny flag, only a foot in length, was covered in incomparably mysterious runes across its black surface...

Catching the Northern Mysterious Darkness Water Control Banner,

Wu Tian nodded in satisfaction and said to Kunpeng:

"Many thanks, Fellow Kunpeng!"

"All our previous Karma shall be written off today..."

Seeing Kunpeng's reluctant gaze, Wu Tian laughed again. After pondering briefly, he said to Kunpeng:

"For the sake of Fellow Kunpeng being so straightforward, I might as well tell you this: the seat you preserved is far more valuable than this Northern Mysterious Darkness Water Control Banner..."

"Of course..."

"That also depends on what that person thinks!"

After saying this,

he raised a finger and pointed upward!

The seat represented the Primordial Violet Qi, an opportunity to become a Saint. Now that Kunpeng had kept his seat, it stood to reason that he could also obtain a strand of Primordial Violet Qi.

But Wu Tian did not dare guarantee it...

Who knew whether Hongjun would change his mind again?

After hearing this, Kunpeng's eyes flashed. A thought faintly emerged in his heart, followed at once by a surge of wild joy...

The Northern Mysterious Darkness Water Control Banner was a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. What kind of opportunity could be even more precious than that?

Kunpeng immediately wanted to ask.

But Wu Tian smiled and shook his head.

"It cannot be spoken!"

"It cannot be spoken..."

He turned and walked toward the Ancestral Witches.

After remaining silent for a moment, Kunpeng cupped his hands slightly toward Wu Tian's retreating back, then turned and vanished into Chaos!
