Black Bracelet Appears, Plotting with a Tiger

"It's a pity that I don't know much about that treasure."

"We only found out that it seems to be some kind of key."

"And it also has another name."

"Black Bracelet."

Xuanye shrugged.

"As you know, I can't say whether this High Antiquity treasure is powerful or weak."

"The key is the person who comes to collect it."

"Qing Ruoli is the leader of the younger generation of the right wing of the Royal Court of the Foreign Lands, just like the Successor of your Imperial Clan."

"Ruthless in methods, arrogant in nature, and his strength is unfathomable."

"Even for you, dealing with her would be very difficult."

"But I can help you."

At this point, he stood up and dusted off the hem of his clothes.

The gaze that fell on Qin Wangchuan carried a hint of seduction.

"I'll help you deal with Qing Ruoli, and while I'm at it, I'll get that thing for you too."

"And all of this requires only a small price to pay."

Qin Wangchuan scoffed after hearing this.

"Help me?"

"That can't be right, Xuanye."

"I should be the one helping you."

"Help me?"

Now it was Xuanye's turn to be puzzled.

He narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp and intense.

"I admit, she is indeed my competitor."

"I can give you the intelligence, I can give you the treasure, and as for the people, whether you kill them or not is up to you."

"In this situation, you still have the nerve to say I'm helping you?"

Qin Wangchuan didn't rush to explain; he simply nodded.

Do you know where your weakness lies?

"I believe she's your rival."

"It's understandable that you want to use me to kill her."

"But Xuanye, I don't believe you would give up that High Antiquity treasure for nothing."

"Since you want me to take action, then tell me the truth."

Upon hearing this, Xuanye was not angry at all; instead, he raised his hand and clapped.

"I really can't get anything out of you."

"Alright."

"I don't want any benefits, I just want to make a deal."

"You let Qing Ruoli stay in Three Thousand Provinces, and I'll give you that wristband."

"But let me make this clear first, I truly know nothing about that thing."

"You know nothing about it, yet you dare to give it to me?"

Qin Wangchuan looked at him indifferently.

"Aren't you afraid that one day I'll invade that Foreign Lands and wipe you out?"

Xuanye shrugged helplessly.

"Come on, Qin Wangchuan, no matter how you try to bluff, that's all I know."

"As for what you've mentioned, that's not my concern."

"All I care about now is climbing higher; I don't care about anything else."

"Selfish and self-serving, betraying your own people." Qin Wangchuan withdrew his gaze, stepped forward, and said, "Every time I see you, I feel that you really are an Alien Race."

Xuanye smiled and stepped back to prevent him from suddenly attacking.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Besides, this isn't just a matter for me alone."

"Qing Ruoli is the Princess's nemesis. If you kill her, the Princess will feel better for a while."

"And I, too, had the opportunity to climb up."

"Isn't this a good deal?"

"Yes, that sounds very tempting."

Qin Wangchuan did not stop.

"But I never said I would agree."

"Even without you, I can still kill Qing Ruoli and take that treasure."

Xuanye raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"Hey, Qin Wangchuan, you're not Alien Race, shouldn't you have some integrity?"

"Honesty?"

Qin Wangchuan nodded thoughtfully.

Then he suddenly stopped, lifted his robe, and sat down.

His gaze fell casually, not sharp, yet it seemed to transcend Xuanye, transcend the world before him, and see the still unsettled winds and clouds in the far distance.

"You want me to get rid of Qing Ruoli for you? Fine."

"But the chips you've offered aren't enough."

"Please sit down, Xuanye."

Let's talk about Foreign Lands.

"Let's also talk about— the Banquet Royal Court behind you."

Xuanye looked at him like this and inexplicably laughed.

He then sat down opposite him, equally dignified, his usual nonchalance gone.

"To be honest, Qin Wangchuan, I didn't really want to ask you for help."

"Oh?"

"You're too dangerous, and too smart."

"To persuade you, I'd have to offer something real, like that priceless treasure."

"But if I give you such a treasure, I'm afraid your fortuitous opportunity will be too great, and you'll become uncontrollably powerful in the future."

Xuanye paused.

"But you also know that we, the Alien Race, had no choice in the first place."

"Either you betray them, or you get betrayed."

"So I have no choice but to take the risk."

Qin Wangchuan looked at him and replied, "You have the ability and the ambition; you certainly have many more options."

"For example, changing Foreign Lands."

Xuanye laughed again, a sneer that was not concealed at all.

"I know what you're trying to say. Who doesn't want change?"

"But talking won't change anything."

"You have to do it, you have to kill."

"This approach will work in the Three Thousand Provinces, since your enemies are one less to lose, and they won't come back to life."

"But things are different in Foreign Lands."

"Most of the dead people and things will emerge again from the Chaos Sea."

"Kill them, then bring them back to life; bring them back to life, then kill them again."

"Keep killing, keep killing, and in the end you'll find that nothing has changed."

"In the end, they might not even have a good ending."

"For example, the Shatong)."

Xuanye laid this out, intending for Qin Wangchuan to be angered.

But he didn't.

Qin Wangchuan's face remained expressionless, only a faint trace of nostalgia appeared.

"Shatong's idea is correct, but his method is wrong."

"I will walk the path he didn't finish."

"I'll do it, I'll kill."

"Even if it means destroying the entire Chaos Sea."

As she spoke, her Golden Eyes looked at Xuanye with an extremely serious expression.

"And of course, you, Xuanye."

I will kill you.

"Must."

Xuanye smiled.

He laughed maniacally.

"Of course, of course!"

He threw his head back and laughed out loud, until his eyes were moist with tears.

Don't you think this is interesting?

"A monster is lurking behind me, ready to devour me at any moment."

"That's so interesting."

As Xuanye spoke, he raised his hand to wipe his face, but the madness in his eyes burned even brighter.

I've changed my mind.

"Become stronger, Qin Wangchuan."

"Keep changing, keep changing, change to the extreme."

"I'd like to see--"

"Will you kill me first, or will I swallow you whole?"

On the other side.

In the depths of a long-abandoned ancient mine in the Heavenly Pivot Domain.

Hundreds of Alien Race worked together to open the mountain, Law Artifact to chisel into the Rock Wall, peeling away the stubborn rock that had been sealed for countless years.

The stone wall was stripped away, revealing layers upon layers of seals beneath.

Upon seeing this, the leader was overjoyed and turned around to shout to those behind him.

"Lord, I've got it!"

Several feet behind, a tall White Jade platform floated in mid-air.

Fine white gauze draped down from all sides of the stage, enveloping the people on stage behind it.

The features were indistinct, only a vague figure could be seen, sitting languidly.

Beside the platform stood an Alien Race, tall and thin, with sinister eyes and brows.

This person's name is Luohou, the First Person subordinate of Qing Ruoli, and of the same rank as Xuanye.

The moment the seal was broken, Luohou looked in that direction, a look of joy appearing on his face. He turned and bowed towards the platform.

"With such a seal in place, the Black Bracelet is most likely inside."

Congratulations, Palace Master!
