Chapter 703 606: The Protagonist Appears
After Zhao Yi finished his drink, Lao Er poured another cup for the other party and drank two bowls himself, and the two engaged in a lively conversation.
Unnoticed by both, a quarter of an hour had passed, and Zhao Yi suddenly felt a bit drowsy.
Just as he was about to speak, he fell straight to the ground. The Nine Dragon Jade Seal sensed something was amiss and just as it was about to speak, several beams of golden light bound it swiftly.
The power of these golden lights was tremendous; Zhao Yi found himself unable to break free, which greatly shocked him.
He was well aware of his Divine Artifact level, and ordinary people couldn't possibly trap him, so he shouted loudly.
"Who on earth are you? Didn't you say we caught the strange fish, and you wouldn't attack us anymore? You must not be from the Cosmic Origin, am I right?"
As soon as the Nine Dragon Jade Seal finished speaking, Lao Er let out a crazy laugh, his body gradually changing until he eventually transformed into the protagonist's form.
"When did you get here? Why haven't we seen you, and how did you get here ahead of us?"
The Nine Dragon Jade Seal was utterly surprised to see this, and the protagonist seemed very pleased with its reaction.
He nodded with his hands behind his back, but instead of answering the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, he waved his arms to bind Zhao Yi with several streaks of golden light.
Then he said to the Nine Dragon Jade Seal.
"I managed to get here all thanks to the help of the Divine Tree, and I surpassed you thanks to my brothers.
Alright, I don't have time to chat with you now, just sit back and watch as I kill Zhao Yi?"
The protagonist was very excited as he pulled out a dagger and thrust it directly towards Zhao Yi's chest. He knew very well that as long as the dagger went into Zhao Yi's body, he was finished.
The Nine Dragon Jade Seal shouted, wanting to save Zhao Yi, but it couldn't move at all, and watched helplessly as the dagger plunged into Zhao Yi's chest.
The protagonist burst into laughter, but just at that moment, he suddenly noticed that Zhao Yi gradually disappeared right before his eyes.
Meanwhile, a few streaks of firelight rushed in from outside the door, binding the protagonist. He tried to break free, only to find these flames were incredibly powerful, and no matter how hard he struggled.
The fire did not budge an inch, and the bindings grew tighter and tighter, and when the flames disappeared.
The protagonist finally realized that it was actually strands of Celestial Silkworm Silk wrapped in the flames.
Zhao Yi walked in with a smile on his face, hands behind his back, looking at the protagonist and said.
"From the first moment I saw you, I felt some familiarity, but I wasn't quite sure where it came from.
At the same time, I found it hard to believe that there could be a Peach Blossom Spring within Wuyuan where good people exist.
Thus, I let my clone and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal enter while I stayed outside using the Invisibility Technique to observe."
"That's impossible; we have been together all this time, and I have so many brothers around. How could you have used such a technique undetected?
In my opinion, you're just lying to me and trying to deceive me."
Upon hearing the protagonist's words, the Nine Dragon Jade Seal also looked at Zhao Yi and said.
"Yeah, when did you use the Clone Technique? I didn't notice at all. Furthermore, how did you get these Celestial Silkworm Silk strands?
I indeed find it quite perplexing."
"Back when we were collecting Celestial Silkworm Silk, I summoned a water ball and secretly hid several strands of Celestial Silkworm Silk inside.
I didn't think much of it back then, but it came in handy now. This thing, you should find it difficult to sever. I'm curious how you intend to untangle it."
After saying this, the protagonist glared at Zhao Yi, his tone full of resentment.
"Don't forget, the Nine Dragon Jade Seal is still in my hands. If you can unravel the golden light, I'll bow to you immediately.
If you can't, I hope we can make an exchange: you unravel me, and I'll unravel him. What do you say?"
The protagonist said this with great confidence, but Zhao Yi didn't give him a direct answer. Instead, he used a few spells and found out the golden light was indeed quite unique.
He couldn't figure out how to break it, so he smiled and said to the protagonist.
"I originally thought that all you knew were Space Laws, but I didn't expect you to have such advanced magic skills.
I must say, I admire that. Alright, I won't say more. Release the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, and I'll release you."
"I hope you'll unravel me first so I can release the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, otherwise we might end up in a stalemate.
The protagonist would not budge, while Zhao Yi didn't buy into his ploy at all.
"You're a deceitful man who goes back on his word, therefore I won't trust you, and if you don't trust me, we'll continue like this.
After all, the rope is on you, not me, so I seem to suffer no real loss."
Zhao Yi said with a smile, and knowing he had lost the upper hand, the protagonist had no choice but to sigh gently.
He glared viciously at Zhao Yi and said.
"People like you won't have a good end, people like you are bound to go to Hell."
"Say what you want, but do you agree or not? If not, I'm really leaving."
As Zhao Yi said this, he was about to use magic to capture the protagonist, who hastily agreed, requesting him to recite the incantation for the golden light binding the Nine Dragon Jade Seal to disappear.
The protagonist was still feeling guilty, looking at Zhao Yi and said.
"You're not going to renege, are you? If you're that kind of person, then I think you'll surely lose to the Divine Tree in this struggle."
The protagonist attempted to morally coerce him, but the nearby Lao Hu said to Zhao Yi.
"There's no need for you to deal with such a shameless man, you could simply take him back and torture him until he hands over Miss Zuo and the one hundred thousand troops.
Tell me, am I right or not?"
As soon as the Nine Dragon Jade Seal finished speaking, Zhao Yi gently waved the silk back into his hand, and then said to the protagonist.
"There's no need for moral coercion. I'm someone who always keeps their word. Alright, you can go now."
Before Zhao Yi could finish, the protagonist disappeared, and the surrounding houses gradually faded away.
However, Zhao Yi also found the surroundings now full of people, encircling him and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal.
The protagonist then twirled the dagger, looked at Zhao Yi, and said.
"Though our deal is complete, it doesn't mean our conflict ends here, on the contrary, today it's either you or me."
