Chapter 226 - 213: Breaking the Standstill; A Well-Timed Gift
Suddenly, a light suddenly turned on in his head, and Xie Lian put Yin Yu down, rising to his feet, "...The cursed shackle. He took the cursed shackle!"
If that thing was unimportant, then Jun Wu wouldn't have taken it, yet he went out of his way to remove the cursed shackled sucked full of Yin Yu's blood and took it, so perhaps, not only did that thing suck away Yin Yu's blood, it also imprisoned his soul!
Having thought of this, Xie Lian left the beaten and bruised Quan Yi Zhen behind and dashed out to the back of the Palace of Qi Ying. However, Jun Wu was no longer there. He then turned around and charged out.
Upon the great avenue of the Heavenly Capital, there was not a soul and completely cold and deserted. There were only the expressionless guards watching over the palaces that used to be bustling and lively with all the great gods, and none of those guards cared for him. Xie Lian didn't care for them either and ran straight for the Great Martial Hall.
Sure enough, Jun Wu had returned here, and was seated upon the throne, still gazing at that cursed shackle. The moment Xie Lian charged in he heard a weird gurgling noise, and when he looked up, that fetus spirit was hanging off the glamourous ceiling with all four of its limbs, and was crawling upside down rapidly like some cold-blooded creature, incredibly creepy.
Even a wicked creature such as this could enter the Great Martial Hall, it really made one wonder how the heavenly officials who struggled for centuries to step into this hall would think if they should see this. Xie Lian marched over with his arms open wide, and Jun Wu asked, "What do you want?"
Without another word, Xie Lian thrust his hand and snatched for that cursed shackle, but of course Jun Wu would not let him have his way. It was a good while and Xie Lian still couldn't manage to steal the thing, and he cried angrily, "WHAT USE DO YOU HAVE FOR THAT THING? YIN YU ISN'T EVEN A THREAT TO YOU, COMPLETELY INSIGNIFICANT IN YOUR EYES! WHY DID YOU SAY ALL THAT TO HIM? WHAT'S THE USE IN YOUR KEEPING THAT THING??"
However, Jun Wu said, "Who says it's of no use? Seeing how angry you are over it, doesn't this prove it's very useful?"
He was like an adult who placed a bowl of fruits on the table just out of reach of his son, and was smiling cheerfully on the side watching the child tipping his toes trying to grab for it but couldn't no matter what, enjoying that he was both angry and desperate, wailing loudly. Xie Lian was going to go mad from fury, "ARE YOU MENTAL?"?"
"Xie Lian, that tone you took is rather disrespectful." Jun Wu said.
Xie Lian had been enduring but he couldn't hold back any longer and cussed, "I'LL SHOW YOU SOME FREAKING RESPECT..."
