BXBX NOVEL Chapter 562: Negotiation and Heavenly Oath
562 Negotiation and Heavenly Oath
The barrier crumbled, including the barrier that protected Alex.
Inside the trial area, Alex slowly opened his eyes, noticing that the energy that kept the barrier had been absorbed completely.
He took out Anna\'s card, "Anna, come here."
There was a miscalculation in his plan.
Activating his Spirit Eyes, he observed his surroundings, especially the people in the sky. His eyes widened the moment he set his eyes upon four people in the sky. It was similar when he looked at Manness.
Although the energy inside them was not as big as Manness\'s, it was not far away.
This might be the biggest miscalculation he made. Usually, the most reasonable option would be sending Martial Monarch, or maybe Peak Martial Monarch, and they were practically invincible on this continent.
That was why he was clueless to find Martial Saints on this continent, high-level Martial Saints to boot. He glanced a bit and noticed that there was a peak Martial Monarch, but surrounded by people slightly stronger than him.
"This might be bad…" Alex furrowed his eyebrows.
Suddenly, a shout reverberated on everyone\'s ears.
"Wait! No one could touch this person!"
Song Yi appeared above Alex, trying to protect him. The third elder paused for a moment before appearing behind Song Yi.
"Song Yi. What are you doing?" The 7-Star Martial Saint from Fire God Clan shouted back. "Both clans have signed an agreement about this. Are you going to break the agreement between the two clans, fully knowing it would mean a war between us?"
"I am fully aware of that agreement. However, even if the Patriarch or Grand Elder is here, they would do the same thing. To think your clan has cheated us… Do you think your clan would escape our rage?"
"I don\'t know what you are talking about." He narrowed his eyes.
Song Yi snorted before shouting out loud. "Hmph. You want to kill a genius like him? I wouldn\'t let you!"
"I am not going to kill him as long as he pledged his allegiance to my Fire God Clan!" The elder said nonchalantly.
"That is impossible. How can a guess of our clan be your dog?" Song Qiang snorted, recalling the matter of Alex\'s Supreme Card. Although he didn\'t know the detail of that card, it was surely a very important card. It would be better to take him to meet the patriarch so he could handle the problem.
"You are going to do it, no matter what! Do you think you two alone can beat five of us? Even if our two 7-Star Martial Saints need to stop you, no one could block five Martial Saints and our young lord, Ryan Hinga. I heard they have Martial Monarchs, but it wouldn\'t still be able to stop us."
Alex furrowed his eyebrows, confused why the Blackwade main clan would protect him in this situation. If he wasn\'t wrong, those Martial Saint elders should come to this place to meet Song Qiang.
"Hmph. I have said that he would be under my protection until he comes to the Blackwade Clan on Heavenly Continent. If you dare to take him away from me, I will attack you with everything I have." Song Yi narrowed his eyes.
"We only need a single thing from him, and it\'s not his life or the inheritance. As long as we take it, then we could treat this like never happened. In fact, we would even start protecting him if he wants to come to the Heavenly Continent. How is it? It\'s a generous term from us, right?" The Elder smirked.
"Protect him?" Song Yi was astounded by their terms, wondering what Alex possessed to get that much attention from the Fire God Clan. It was true that fighting them here would be a disadvantage for him and the third elder. However, he still couldn\'t believe what he said was true.
To assure Song Yi, the elder added, "I can make a Heavenly Oath to protect him with my life. In fact, even the Young Lord wouldn\'t mind making him a sworn brother. Both of us can be bound by Heavenly Oath immediately."
"Heavenly Oath?" Song Yi gasped. This certainly never happened before as Fire God Clan never used a Heavenly Oath to negotiate with them. Although he didn\'t know what kind of thing the Fire God Clan wanted from Alex, the term itself was tempting.
Unfortunately, there was one thing that stopped him from being too hasty. It was Alex\'s Supreme VIP Card.
This was why before he accepted, he thought of a clause to bind him as to protect Alex.
After a few seconds, Song Yi suddenly said, "If you promise not to hurt him and let me bring him to the Blackwade Clan, then I can accept. The agreement as follows, no one could hurt him, including all members of Fire God Clan. At the same time, he will also become your Ryan\'s sworn brother to ensure he was protected. The last thing you needed to promise me is that you want wouldn\'t be related to my Blackwade Clan."
The elder pondered for a moment before nodding his head. "I can make a Heavenly Oath for that. However, you and the third elder also need to make an Oath that you won\'t hinder us no matter what happens."
"Alright." Song Yi agreed.
"I will go first." The elder took a deep breath before swearing an oath. "With Heaven and Earth as my witness, I, Bruno Hinga, would protect Alexander Sirius with all my might. Even if the Fire God Clan wants to hurt him, I would be there to protect him with my life. I shall abide by this promise if Alexander Sirius gives one thing I needed."
The other Martial Saints also swore the same Oath, making it look trustable.
"With Heaven and Earth as my witness, I, Ryan Hinga, would become Alexander Sirius\'s sworn brother after he gives the thing we needed. I would protect him until I die or he dies from old age." The young master also swore the Heavenly Oath.
"Now, your turn." The elder narrowed his eyes.
Song Yi hesitated for a few seconds before swearing an oath. "With Heaven and Earth as my witness, I, Song Yi, wouldn\'t hinder the Fire God Clan from doing their business as long as it\'s not related to my Blackwade Clan."
The third elder also followed his example and swore an oath.
At this time, the people from Fire God Clan suddenly smirked.
"Haha… You are a fool, Elder Song Yi." Ryan suddenly laughed out loud. "Do you think why we want you to swear an oath? Do you think an inheritance like this would worth our time? No. All of you don\'t know what we actually want."
"And do you think I would abide with this…" Alex furrowed his eyebrows as he finally broke his silence. He had been making his preparation this whole time. "And goodbye."
He opened a teleportation scroll as he was planning to run away. The array activated and teleported him out of place.
However, at this time, a high-level Martial Saint finally showed its prowess. In a split second, the Martial Saint waved his hand and controlled the Spiritual Energy, breaking Alex\'s array.
"!!!" Alex was startled to see his teleportation array was broken in a split second.
"Brat…. don\'t underestimate me." The elder from the Fire God Clan looked down on him, releasing his Spiritual Energy. He noticed the slightest movement from Alex this whole time and already knew what he was planning to do. Even if Alex did it secretly, he would still be able to stop him from going. "Unfortunately, you are still a Martial Emperor, and that teleportation array is still a rank 6 array. If you have a rank 7 array, you would be able to escape from me."
Anna and the others quickly activated their True Spirit Body, releasing their energy to counter the elder Spiritual Energy.
"Hoh… Are you planning to challenge me? Your fate is already sealed. Without the help of the Blackwade Clan, you wouldn\'t get away from here." The elder snorted.
Song Yi was confused, but he also felt that he was tricked once more.
"This is why you are foolish, Elder Song Yi." Ryan smirked as he waved his hand.
Grimes appeared out of nowhere as Ryan called for him. "I have come, Young Lord Ryan."
"Tell them why they are foolish."
"Yes." Grimes calmly nodded as he looked at Alex and the others. "Be honored for the Young Lord\'s big heart as he would grace you as his sworn brother. As long as you hand your Fire Sacrificial Element, you would be protected by Fire God Clan."
"!!!" All people dropped their jaws to the ground, never expecting a Pure Element user. Even Alex was also surprised by this statement because he never let anyone witness his Pure Fire alive.
On the other hand, Song Yi was sweating profusely. No wonder the Fire God Clan would protect Alex. The Sacrificial Element would vanish if the Pure Fire user died. He gritted his teeth as he had lost something more important.
Still, there was one question that had yet to be answered. Why did he know Alex had a Pure Fire?
Suddenly, a person appeared beside Grimes and Alex opened his mouth in surprise. "What? You… you…"
"Fufu… It\'s been a while, my Supreme." She smiled.
"Shelka!" Alex shouted at her as he never expected her to be here. First of all, her cultivation was barely 1-Star Martial Emperor.
"I have beaten the trials like you not long after you left. No one knows your Pure Fire Element other than me."
"..." Alex looked to the sky, wondering if he was wrong. "Am I wrong to spare anyone that hasn\'t become my enemy? Do I also need to remove every person that might become a threat?"
Alex was shocked to the core. "Anna, am I wrong this whole time? Should I kill everyone?"
"No. You are not wrong… we wouldn\'t know what is inside someone\'s mind even if we spend a few thousand years with them. The answer is in yourself. Don\'t think about Karma or anything as if you think about them, then you will be controlled by that." Anna smiled before adding, "Anyway, we will always be by your side even if we need to level this world."
Those words hit him in his heart as he made a decision. "Yeah… However, we need to escape from this place first. Lend me your strength."
"As you wish!" Anna and the others replied.
"We will break through this place," Alex shouted as he prepared another teleportation array by using his Space Plate. He didn\'t mind showing his Space Element since this place would be dangerous. As long as he had a second, it would be enough.
"Do you think I would let you? Catch him!" The elder shouted.
However, someone already lost her patient.
[All of you can stop. I will handle this situation.]
This notification appeared in front of everyone. This was the first time Stina saw a notification from the system, so she was startled. On the other hand, Anna and the others were shocked like her, not because of the notification, but because it would seem that Lin Xingzhi wanted to act personally.
Like Maxwell that could appear by using his token, Lin Xingzhi could also do the same by using the system as the catalyst. Luckily, she never entered this place, so her soul hadn\'t been marked by this world.
If Lin Xingzhi appeared in this battle, the problem would surely be solved. Not long after, they got a notification that left one speechless.
