Chapter 185: Legendary! Venerable Bai Xis Attempt
The black-robed man endured the pain. "It's all a misunderstanding. Don’t we both believe in the new god? There's no need for internal conflict."
Hearing this, Qi Yuan finally examined the black-robed man closely. "So you’re a small EXP pack?"
Upon meeting Qi Yuan’s gaze, an inexplicable fear welled up in the man’s heart. He couldn't understand why. Even though those eyes were clearly gentle, even carrying a trace of anticipation, he only felt sheer eeriness.
Qi Yuan’s interest was piqued. At the same time, he wondered if the game was telling him to go undercover. In that case, his look had to be sharp, his bearing refined. He had to say something unfathomable to elevate his aura.
"What did you come looking for me for?" he asked.
"A woman from the Jiang Empire has fled into Feihuang City. She carries a great treasure," said the black-robed man.
Qi Yuan asked in surprise, "Long Kui?"
"No. Her name is Wang Wenqi, Venerable Tianbao’s direct descendant. Half a month ago, she suddenly left the Jiang Empire's capital. Judging from her suspicious movements, she is definitely carrying a great treasure. True God Suihan ordered me to capture and bring her back," said the black-robed man, mixing some truths within his lie.
In truth, he had not received any order from True God Suihan at all. He only mentioned it to intimidate Qi Yuan.
"Get to the point," Qi Yuan said.
He almost said, “Spit it out,” but then he remembered he was supposed to be undercover, with some gravitas. Being too blunt would make him sound like a nobody.
The black-robed man hurriedly explained, "The problem is, there are several powerful figures of the No-Food Sect in Feihuang City. I cannot defeat them alone. I ask that you cooperate with me. Once we obtain the treasure, we split it fifty-fifty."
