Sibuwa, the Deal

"Hahaha, who do we have here? It's the infamous Blood-Robed King."

From afar, a Sky Wolf flew over the Iceberg. Its entire body was covered in snow-white fur, with a hint of gold at the tips of its hairs, giving it a faint Golden Light glow. On its forehead were three strange, mysterious patterns, like three knife marks.

As it approached Lian Luo, its divine body rapidly grew larger, eventually transforming into a Sky Wolf over ten kilometers long, resembling a mountain range.

"Master, this is the Sky Wolf, one of the eight Invincible Kings." Yan Pao introduced the Sky Wolf to Lian Luo as it flew in from afar.

The majestic Sky Wolf looked down at Lian Luo, who was clad in dark red armor, Lian Luo, "I never expected that the infamous Blood-Robed King would be captured in this Ice Prison."

This Sky Wolf was captured during these eras. While it was in the outside world, Lian Luo had already risen to power and, with the help of the great treasure bestowed upon it by Qie Qiong, possessed strength approaching that of Invincible King.

"Hmph, I didn't expect it to be you, Sibuwa. Back then, the Sky Wolf Clan all thought you had perished completely, but it turns out you were captured and brought here." Lian Luo smiled at Sky Wolf, "I never thought that after so many years, you would have reached a level close to Invincible King level."

As for Lian Luo, this Sky Wolf, although he was only at the Limit King Rank back in the Outer Domain Battlefield, was already worthy of Lian Luo's knowledge of his name.

"Hmph! I'm not used to talking with my head tilted back." Lian Luo, who had been smiling, suddenly changed her expression and swung her Blood Shadow Sword.

"Extreme Blood."

A scarlet sword light, condensed to its fullest extent, pierced straight towards the head of the massive body of Sibuwa!

This sword strike was exceptionally ruthless, one of the killing moves created by Lian Luo. "Roar!" Sibuwa's huge golden pupils suddenly contracted, clearly not expecting Lian Luo to be so decisive and ruthless.

"Awoo--!"

With a wolf howl, Sibuwa's body shone with Golden Light, instantly manifesting a giant golden shield shaped like a crescent moon.

"Boom!!"

The crimson sword light slammed into the golden crescent shield!

A blinding light erupted instantly, causing even the space itself to groan under its strain.

"Stop, stop, stop! I'm not here to fight you!" Sibuwa shouted after blocking the attack.

As he spoke, Golden Light flowed across the enormous Sky Wolf body. Under Lian Luo's cold gaze, the mountain-like body of Sibuwa shrank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, the colossal wolf that blotted out the sky vanished.

Instead, there was a Sky Wolf that was about two meters long.

Its four paws pounded in the snow, and its golden wolf eyes looked at Lian Luo with a hint of solemnity.

"I didn't expect the Blood-Robed King to be so decisive."

"Heh." Lian Luo sneered, remaining silent. He wanted to see what this Sibuwa had to say.

A hint of anger flashed in Sibuwa's eyes as he said, "Blood-Robed King, I wanted to buy Virtual Universe anonymous account sensor from you. You know, these endless years have been incredibly boring!"

"Heh, you can use it, can you?" Lian Luo stared directly at the weak Sibuwa and sneered, "The soul consciousness fluctuations of your Demon Race are on our Human Race's Virtual Universe blacklist."

"I understand," Sibuwa said, looking at Lian Luo. "But you should also know that while I may be powerless, my servants are. Among my servants—there are those who belong to friendly groups with humans, and one of them is qualified to enter the Virtual Universe."

"Hmph, you have the guts to talk about enslaving my human allies in front of me, a Human Race King Rank," Lian Luo sneered.

Sibuwa shook his head dismissively, looking at Yan Pao: "I only enslaved your friendly Human Race, but this one is a true Demon Race."

"Heh, if you were human, do you think you'd still be standing here talking to me!" Lian Luo sneered.

Although he, like this Sibuwa, was a near -Invincible King, because he first became Blood Warrior and was then given seven drops of Beast God Blood, his Gene Level was the same as that of the most ordinary Special Lifeform.

Therefore, his combat strength is actually no different from that of Invincible King. It's just that because of his speed, he can't escape from a true Venerable. As for this Sibuwa, he's already quite impressive that he can survive against a true Invincible King.

"Blood-Robed King, stop wasting time. I'll offer you a priceless treasure in exchange for the anonymous sensor," Sibuwa said, looking at Lian Luo. "Even if you don't have it, your intelligence can create a simple sensor. As for the most important permissions, you, a human King Rank, can easily obtain them."

As Sisiva spoke, a completely black stone rod appeared before it, with beautiful carvings on both ends, making it look more like a work of art at first glance.

"A priceless treasure, a sensor—only here would they be priced like this."

Lian Luo stood on the snow, not even glancing at the precious treasure, and sneered, "You want to get out, right? Otherwise, what use is a servant if you can't enter the Virtual Universe?"

"Do you think I would help someone of Alien Race, let alone a Demon Race?"

"Hahaha, as expected of the Blood-Robed King! I knew it wouldn't work to hide it from you." Sibuwa laughed and nodded. "That's right, I haven't been here long. The fact that I've met you now means that the intelligence network I know of might still exist, so naturally I want to take a gamble."

As mentioned earlier, the two Venerables of the Kou Race usually don't capture those with powerful backgrounds. If it weren't for the fact that Sibuwa went too far back then and had no means of contacting the outside world, he wouldn't have been imprisoned in this Ice Prison.

As for Lian Luo, if the relatively calm Venerable Zi Kou were here, she wouldn't have been imprisoned in the Ice Prison.

"Furthermore, selling virtual accounts isn't a crime among Human Race. Trading a few cosmic crystals for a valuable treasure isn't a bad deal for you."

Lian Luo was well aware that a valuable treasure could be exchanged for countless anonymous sensors in the outside world, but this was in the Ice Prison, so he naturally wanted to maximize his profits.

"One precious treasure is not enough!" Lian Luo shook her head.

"One precious treasure isn't enough," Sibuwa said angrily, his aura surging.

"Who are you baring your teeth at?!" Lian Luo sneered, his Blood Shadow Sword poised to strike.

The eyes of the Sibuwa were filled with madness. Its body suddenly grew larger, its fangs were fully exposed, and the three knife scars on its forehead were writhing.

"You want to fight me? It seems you've lost your mind since coming to this Ice Prison," Lian Luo mocked.

The two faced off from a distance.

"Fine, fine, fine," Sibuwa growled. "Then I'll trade you a treasure I just acquired. This thing is far more valuable to both of us than several precious artifacts."

"Oh?" Lian Luo was somewhat curious. "You have Supreme Treasure?"

"Of course it's not Supreme Treasure. If it were, I would kill you right now. But—" As he spoke, he slightly raised his right hoof, and a hexagonal stone tablet the size of a human palm appeared out of thin air.

Atop this stone tablet stands a roaring, strange monster.

Upon seeing the stone tablet, Lian Luo's expression changed. "You actually obtained a Beast God Inheritance Token."

The Beast God Inheritance Token is a token distributed throughout the universe by the Ancestral God Sect, the most powerful force in the universe. Obtaining it allows one to the Ancestral God Sect.

The Ancestral God Sect possesses the most complete Beast God Inheritance in the Primal Universe.

Given Lian Luo's status, he naturally knew about the Ancestral God Sect. In fact, when he reached the King Rank, his teacher Qie Qiong promised to give him a piece of it if he reached the Invincible King level.

Unexpectedly, before I even reached the Invincible King, the Beast God Inheritance Token came to me on its own.

"Not enough, add two more precious treasures." Lian Luo shook her head.

Sibuwa's expression suddenly changed; it hadn't expected the Blood-Robed King to be so insatiable.

"Greedy humans!" Sibuwa thought to himself, then made up his mind and said to Lian Luo, "Alright! Two precious treasures and this Beast God Inheritance Token."

"Let them stay with you for a while, Blood-Robed King!" it roared inwardly.

"Let's make a trade." Lian Luo casually tossed an anonymous sensor to it.

"Blood-Robed King, aren't you afraid I'll run away?" Sibuwa asked.

"You're welcome to try," Lian Luo sneered.

His decision to give the ball to Sibuwa was clearly based on his immense confidence in his own abilities; after all, even though he was slow, it depended on who he was being compared to.

"Good, as expected of the Blood-Robed King," Sibuwa growled. "Do as I say."

As he spoke, a figure appeared beside him.

"Yes, Master," the figure replied respectfully, then accepted the anonymous sensor.

That figure connected to the Virtual Universe.

Sibuwa watched anxiously. As long as the message could be sent back, as long as someone could save it, with the Beast God Inheritance Token and its current strength, it would definitely receive strong support from its clan.

At that time, even a venerable person could consider it; then, their future would truly be limitless.

"Whether we get out or not depends on this." Sibuwa's eyes were filled with a fierce glint. "We must succeed, we absolutely must succeed."

Time passed by, but for Sibuwa, each day felt like an eternity.

"Master, there has been a response." The figure opened its eyes and immediately said.

"Good, good, good." Sibuwa couldn't help but let out a wolf howl.

Lian Luo watched quietly.

After howling, Sibuwa threw the two precious treasures and the Beast God Inheritance Token to Lian Luo.

It knew that its backer hadn't arrived yet, so it could only give the treasure to the Blood-Robed King for now, but it was only temporarily depositing it. Once its backer arrived, it would still be its treasure!

Lian Luo casually put the treasure away and smiled, "Then I'll be going now."

Without waiting for a Lian Luo, Lian Luo and Yan Pao transformed into two streaks of Flowing Light and disappeared into the distance.

"Humans, humph!" Sibuwa's eyes flashed with ferocity as he watched Lian Luo leave.

Lian Luo didn't fly far either, stopping a short distance away and sending a message directly to her teacher, Qie Qiong.

"Teacher, I'm trapped in the Ice Prison— "

Virtual Universe, atop Thunder Island.

The majestic temple belonging to Jixing Palace Master Qie Qiong, stood tall. Qie Qiong sat inside the temple, having already logged on after receiving Lian Luo's distress call.

Qie Qiong's heart stirred slightly, and he connected.

Lian Luo's figure coalesced beside Qie Qiong.

He was wearing dark red heavy armor, but there was a hint of embarrassment between his brows that was more noticeable than usual.

Upon appearing, he immediately bowed deeply to Qie Qiong respectfully. "Teacher! Your disciple is incompetent and trapped; I have come to beg for your help!"

Qie Qiong's silver-gold eyes fell on his disciple, calm and undisturbed, but Lian Luo, who knew him well, could sense the concern deep within his gaze.

His voice was steady. "Speak."

Lian Luo dared not delay and quickly recounted his ordeal of being trapped on the Ice Prison Star: "In the Ice Prison Star Belt the Wuhua Secret Realm, I found an opportunity to infiltrate the interior of an Ice Prison Star in order to obtain—but in the end, I was captured and imprisoned in the Ice Prison."

"The Wuhua Secret Realm? The Ice Prison?" Qie Qiong shook his head, surprised that Luo Feng hadn't even gone there yet, and his disciple had already gone to the place from the original story.

"Exactly." Lian Luo and continued, "After being imprisoned, I intended to rely on my own strength to gradually find a way to escape, but as soon as I entered, I encountered 'Sibuwa' of the Sky Wolf Clan— "

At this point, a glint of surprise flashed in Lian Luo's eyes. "So it was that Sibuwa who actually produced a Beast God Inheritance Token!"

"The Beast God Inheritance Token?" A barely perceptible glint flashed in Qie Qiong's silver-gold eyes, who had been listening calmly the whole time.

He hadn't expected that the Beast God Inheritance Token would be obtained by the Sky Wolf Clan's King Rank so early. You have to know that by Luo Feng's time, there were less than a thousand King Rank in the Ice Prison.

Lian Luo's face, a pride belonging to the "Blood-Robed King": "This disciple deeply understands Master's teachings, that the path of cultivation requires self-reliance and strength, so this disciple should not lightly ask for help unless in a life-or-death situation. This disciple's original intention was to hone himself in the Ice Prison, and break through the predicament on his own when his strength was sufficient. However, the appearance of the Beast God Inheritance Token has made this disciple unable to wait in peace any longer."

He looked intently at Qie Qiong: "Most importantly, I have completed the transaction with Sibuwa and delivered the sensor to it. It must have already tried to contact the higher-ups of the Demon Race for help! The powerful Demon Race members may descend upon the Wuhua Secret Realm at any time."

If the Demon Race were to mobilize Universe Venerable or even Universe Master, this disciple fears I would be unable to withstand it, which is why I had no choice but to seek help from my master.

Qie Qiong looked at Lian Luo, the eldest disciple he had personally nurtured and on whom he placed high hopes. He remained silent for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he let out a soft chuckle, "Heh, you little rascal." Qie Qiong's voice carried a hint of understanding, "But you finally asked me for help..."

Lian Luo's gaze remained resolute.

A sharp glint flashed in Qie Qiong's silver-gold eyes. "In that case, let it carry the message."

With its strength, the Lord of Sky Wolf would not dare to personally confront it.

Although the Lord of Sky Wolf went in person in the original story, that was an accident, and he might not go now.

Besides, he was genuinely afraid it wouldn't go. After all, since the Primal Star opened, he had tried to find the Lord of Sky Wolf before, but it turned out it was quite adept at running away. As long as he went to find it, it would surely receive a message from the Demon Race Alliance and flee in advance.

"Go, and wait for the right moment. When the Demon Race makes a move, I will show myself." Qie Qiong's voice returned to calm.

Lian Luo respectfully replied, "Disciple obeys!" His consciousness withdrew, returning to the Ice Prison World.

Qie Qiong sat upright on the throne, his silver-gold eyes gazing at the surging chaotic energy outside the palace, a faint killing intent lingering around him.

"Lord of Sky Wolf, don't let me down."
