“Indeed, I shouldn’t have trusted the Beast King. This is my mistake. He betrays without a moment’s thought for the lifesaving favor he received. But at the time, I had no choice. If I hadn’t cooperated with the Beast King, I may already be dead by your hand,”
Logan looked nonchalant, he wasn’t concerned about what the Heavenly Saint Daoist had to say. After all, every step of the way had been a battle. It just goes to show that every Saint Seat is equally deceitful, devoid of sincerity and decency.
These words turned the tables, leaving the Heavenly Saint Daoist embarrassed. Certainly, if Logan hadn’t allied with the Beast King, the Heavenly Saint Daoist would have certainly killed Logan to protect his secrets, perhaps not only Logan but everyone in the mountain range would have been buried without leaving one alive.
“Since you want to cooperate with me, you certainly need to show your bargaining chip. Now that you have parted ways with the Beast King, facing the pursuit of The Beast King, you simply cannot stand on an equal footing. How many days can you withstand the pursuit without my cooperation?”
The Heavenly Saint Daoist gave a playful smile, pondering: “And you must understand, though my life is dwindling, a thin camel is still bigger than a horse. In order to help you, I will not temporarily confront the Beast King, unless you give me a reasonable excuse, then maybe I’ll consider it.”
“I have marked the Demon Beast Treasure, regardless of where the Beast King hides it.. I can locate it. Your goals are all for the Demon Beast Treasure, to extend your life that is on its last leg. Is my bargaining chip sufficient? Besides, you alone cannot obtain the Demon Beast Treasure.”
Logan remained composed, analysing the pros and cons: “I am not asking for your help, but suggesting that we can cooperate. If you continue to be high-handed, then it doesn’t matter if the cooperation ends here. Isn’t the world big enough for me to go anywhere? How far can the Beast King’s power truly extend?”
“I always like to prepare before fighting, even if we cooperate, it doesn’t seem like we can overcome the Beast King’s power. After all you two are just minor Thrones, and my injuries have caused my power to decrease to only about one-tenth of its original. I’m already as weak as a little insect in front of the Beast King.”
Upon hearing Logan’s words, a flicker of greed appeared in the Heavenly Saint Daoist’s eyes. However, the next moment, he returned to his calm demeanor. He certainly can’t be taken in by a few words, even though Logan’s news was heavy, the key issue was the strength of the two sides, how to fight against the Beast King?
The Beast King has been recovering for many days now, his power is not only healed, but it is also about seventy to eighty percent restored. If the three of them choose to go against him, they probably won’t last ten rounds. What if Logan has ulterior motives, just to instigate the fight between him and the Beast King?
“I have an array. At that time, I will set up a Killing Array. As long as you can lure the Beast King into the array, I am confident that I can reduce the Beast King’s power by eighty percent. At that time, she will definitely be at your mercy. I believe you must have experienced my array before, after all, it easily trapped the Half-Step Saint Seat Demon Beast that day.”
Logan was as calm as ever. After some thoughts from the Heavenly Saint Daoist, and despite the significant risks involved, he nodded slightly at Logan’s words because of his dwindling lifespan. Their cooperation was officially agreed upon at this moment, to face their common enemy – the Beast King.
Lowen Shingo breathed a sigh of relief while Logan continued: “Since we are cooperating, each party has demands. Firstly, you definitely can’t take the Demon Beast Treasure and then betray us. We must set down some rules here, and you must make a vow. If you break your promise, you will be punished by the Heavenly Dao and be suppressed by the Thunder Tribulation.”
The Heavenly Saint Daoist’s brow furrowed, his instinct was to not agree to Logan’s terms as it would leave him in a passive position. However, upon reflection, it made sense for them to make a contract. This also demonstrated that Logan was impartial, not scheming with the Beast King in the dark.
“I swear here and now, to not settle scores after this is done, and not to hunt Logan down for the rest of my life. If I break my oath, may Heavenly Dao suppress me, and let time ravage my lifespan, causing me to be stagnant in cultivation for life.”
The moment he finished making his oath, Logan took an elixir from his pocket and threw it to the Heavenly Saint Daoist. Astonished to find out it was a Law Elixir, he couldn’t help but shake his head. Although the elixir was extremely precious, it still could not restore his dwindling life.
“Take it. This elixir is different. It contains the power of dozens of Law herbs’ ancestors. While it won’t necessarily extend your life, it can restore you to your former strength, which is not a problem. At least for the next three days, you will be normal. After all, you need to recover your strength to deal with the Beast King.”
After the Heavenly Saint Daoist took the elixir, a surge of medicinal power erupted. His severely injured origin power began to recover at this moment, and his cultivation realm also continued to rise. For a moment, he seemed to have returned to a hundred years ago, a hint of a smile flashed across his face despite the fact that the effects of the medicine would only last three days.
“Plan well. I will set up a Killing Array again. You must remember to provoke the Beast King during the fight, but don’t purposely lead him here. Instead, you should disappear without a trace right after provoking him. After two or three times, pretend to be defeated and lead him here.”
“The power of the Killing Array is not great, but it can weaken a person’s cultivation. For example, the Beast King is already at the Saint Seat Realm. After being weakened, he will only be equivalent to the Dominator Realm. The duration is one hour. In this hour, you will definitely be able to defeat him. But after an hour, the array will lose its effectiveness.”
Everything Logan said was very thorough, but the Heavenly Saint Daoist was puzzled. “The Beast King will weaken his cultivation by stepping into the array. Will I also be the same within the array? You aren’t planning to take us both down, are you? I feel like this a plan to kill two birds with one stone. Why don’t you be the bait?”
“The array is only targeted at the Demon Beast race. You are a human, so you don’t need to worry.” Logan carefully explained to the Heavenly Saint Daoist, and at the same time he rolled his eyes. If he could be the bait, why would he need to cooperate with the Heavenly Saint Daoist? He and Lowen Shingo would be enough, the Heavenly Saint Daoist was being too optimistic.
The Heavenly Saint Daoist gritted his teeth and decided to risk it: “I will trust you this once, don’t cheat me. Or else, I will take revenge at all costs, even if it takes the last bit of my strength. Don’t underestimate a Saint Seat’s wrath. Although my life is at its end, I still have some combat power left.”
“Rest assured, since it’s a partnership, we need to uphold our promises. I’m unlike you, I’m not a dishonest person. The integrity of Logan is known to those who know me. I always prioritize peace before violence. As long as Heavenly Saint Daoist, you don’t sabotage this, our cooperation can be pleasant.”
With a gaze like torchlight, Logan asserted, word by word. The Heavenly Saint Daoist heaved a long sigh and then walked away, leaving Logan and the others short on time. They needed to set the Killing Array within half an incense stick of time.
The Killing Array is not difficult to set up, it’s akin to setting up a barrier that isolates everything, preventing the Demon Beast race from using the power of the Law. Even their bloodline origin will be suppressed. As a result, their power will naturally weaken by sixty to seventy percent. And because the Heavenly Saint Daoist is not a Demon Beast, his bloodline would not be affected by the array.
