Chapter 1600: Forming an Alliance

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Wow! What a mighty group of Qin soldiers, all united for the sake of the country! What a group of spirited soldiers contending for hegemony! It is no wonder that Qin was able to destroy and dominate six countries!”

Chen Xiaobei felt his blood boil hot as he watched the scene before him. He could imagine the pride and joy felt when the Daqin calvary ruled over the whole of China.

“Return!” The Dark Demon above the coffin shouted.

All at once, all ten thousand of the evil spirit army turned around and returned into the demon’s body.

“Faction Leader Chen! Did I get that right?” The Dark Demon asked.

“Yes! I am the leader of Bei Xuan faction, Chen Zhufeng!” Chen Xiaobei nodded and then asked, “Your majesty, how can I help you?”

“I’d like to beseech you for a favour!” The demon said.

“Beseech me?” Chen Xiaobei paused for a moment, wondering if he had heard wrongly.

The first Emperor of the great Qin Empire, the Supreme Lord who conquered six states and ruled over the whole China, used the word ‘beseech’?

“You heard me right!” The demon said. “Your talisman is very powerful! I’d like to ask you to leave one for me!”

“Why do you want an Expiate Heart Returning Talisman?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

“My soldiers are willing to remain as evil spirits for eternity, but I cannot let them go on like that! Once I get my revenge, I will use the talisman to help them reincarnate back to the world as humans!”

“It looks like your conscience hasn’t completely been eradicated!” Chen Xiaobei now saw the demon in a new light.

Ten thousand Black Dragon Riders who were loyal to a fault and their emperor who was sympathetic and faithful!

One should not belittle on the one word ‘beseech’. A real man would rather die than say the word!

“Conscience? Hehe, that was just a joke!” The demon did not want to admit it. “Let’s talk about something more practical. If Faction Leader Chen gives me a talisman, I can open up a portal and send you back safely!”

“I’m not in a hurry. Chen Xiaobei shook his head. “What I’m curious about is, if you have a score that you want to settle, why didn’t you leave this place then?”

“Don’t you think I want to leave?” The demon hissed. “Xu Fu, that snake! He put a powerful seal on my casket. I cannot even leave this black coffin, so where else can I go?”

“Does that mean that this dark demon here is not your true self?”

“Of course not! It’s all thanks to the loyalty of the Black Dragon Riders who offered their blood as sacrifice and landed the Spirit Blood Curse on my coffin! After thousands of years, the seal had finally weakened enough, and I was able to unleash some of my consciousness to control the formation!”

“No wonder! What level is the seal that Xu Fu placed? If it’s below demi-god, I can break it and set you free!”

The demon sighed, “Unfortunately, Xu Fu was already an Earth God with God Ascension cultivation at that time! That’s why no one can break the seal that he placed!”

“I have a suggestion! I will bring your coffin away from here, and then try to figure out a way to break the seal! Or else, you’d be stuck here for millions of years and still be unable to break out, much less wreak vengeance on anyone!”

“What you say is nice to hear but I don’t believe that there is such a thing as altruistic help!” The demon said solemnly. “Tell me, what good will it do you if you get me out of this place?”

Chen Xiaobei was frank as usual. “I was hoping I could borrow your Black Dragon Riders! The Blood God’s Deity-Killing painting that I used just now needs another ten thousand spirits before it can become a demi-god instrument!”

“No way!” The demon refused categorically. “I see the Black Dragon Riders as my brothers in arms! I will never give them away to anyone! As a matter of fact, after I’ve sought retribution, I would love to allow them to reincarnate and have a new life as a human!”

“Don’t worry! I’m just borrowing!” Chen Xiaobei said. “You will still have complete control of the Black Dragon Riders. It’s only when I need it, that you’ll release them to give me a helping hand!”

“Are you speaking the truth?” The demon seemed to have a change of heart.

“Of course! You lend me the Black Dragon Riders, and I’ll find a way to help you break the seal! Also, I will make sure to give you one Expiate Heart Returning Talisman! This is a win-win deal with no downsides that you have no reason to refuse!”

“Indeed! If I don’t leave with you this time, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to see daylight for the next few centuries! But I have one more request – you have to help me with my revenge!”

“Revenge?” Chen Xiaobei lowered his voice. “Are you talking about the Jade Emperor? I’m afraid I cannot help you with that.”

“Oh, you’re think too much! In my current condition, I cannot even consider that grudge! What I want you to do is to help me kill that dog Xu Fu!”

“Xu Fu?” Chen Xiaobei took a moment to digest his words. “According to you, he’s already become an Earth God thousands of years ago. Wouldn’t he have already become a deity by now?”

“No!” The demon was certain. “That dog is definitely still in the underworld! If he could become a deity, he would already have paid this place a visit to destroy my soul!”

Chen Xiaobei nodded. “Alright! I can promise to help avenge you, but I’m still quite weak so we cannot rush this. I’ll need time to come up with a plan!”

“Of course! You are my only hope. I do not wish to see you die in vain either!”

“Good! In that case, let’s officially form an alliance! Live together, die together! Help each other through thick and thin!” Chen Xiaobei said ceremonially.

“Live together, die together! Help each other through thick and thin!” The demon nodded in confirmation.

Swoosh!

After that, the dark demon’s body dispersed and returned to the coffin.

“Black Doors! Open!”

A magnetic and imposing voice called out from inside the box.

That was his majesty Ying Zheng’s voice, of course.

Buzz…

There was a wave of energy, and a black portal slowly tore open in the void.

Ying Zheng said, “Go through this door and you’ll reach the peak of Mount Li. You’ll be able to leave the mausoleum once and for all!”

“Alright! Let’s go!” Chen Xiaobei waved his hand and the coffin was stored inside the Infinite Space Ring. He then led the people out.

At the peak of Mount Li.

The people felt as though they had walked through hell and finally returned to earth; it was as if they had regained a whole new life, and Chen Xiaobei was now their father!

Everyone was deeply grateful towards Chen Xiaobei, and thanked him from the bottom of their hearts. Zhou Daoxian and the nine other men were no exception. Of course, whether or not it was sincere was still a question mark.

Anyway, in Chen Xiaobei’s eyes, they were like harmless little ants. It was good, of course, if they were sincere but if they still wished to plot against him, Chen Xiaobei would not mind giving them a gift of death!

Ding! Ring! Ring!

Back on the surface, with mobile signal now restored, Chen Xiaobei received a phone call from Bai Linsu.
