Chapter 957: The Weight Of Words.
In his confusion, Monarch Truth and False asked, "What’s a divine crystal?"Loki replied sternly, "You don’t need to know."
Instead of protesting, Monarch Truth and False nodded in understanding and became silent. He didn’t say anything, and Loki didn’t speak either. The two of them stood in the air watching each other and waiting for something.
Four seconds later, Monarch Truth and False received a message from the sect. As soon as he read the message, he said to Loki, "My Dao Lord said that they can give you a divine crystal, but a bunch of rank 8 weeds are not worth a divine crystal."
"According to their words, even a rank 9 being is not worth her divine crystal. So you will have to offer more for the divine crystal."
Loki nodded in understanding before saying, "What if I say I can kill one or more avatars belonging to the Dao Lord of the Four Directions Sect?"
The impact of his words struck Monarch Truth and False and made the seer wobble in the air. The body of the rank 8 seer, which was strong enough to pierce through a large world from end to end, looked sickly as if it could be blown away by the wind at any moment.
Monarch Truth and False almost didn’t believe what he just heard. He didn’t question what he heard, though. He didn’t consider that he misheard because Loki’s words had been projected directly into his mind.
So he heard those words loud and clear as he could hear the heartbeat of a mortal. He just didn’t want to believe what he just heard because the repercussions could cost him his life.
In fact, the reason his figure had wobbled in the air was that he had wanted to run away. His first instinct after hearing such blasphemous words was to hightail it out of here. But he also knew that he couldn’t leave without permission from his Dao Lord, so he stayed.
The battle between self-preservation and duty was why his figure shook with indecision. At the end of the day, he chose to stay, but he wasn’t happy about it.
Inwardly, he groaned as he thought, ’What have I gotten myself into this time around? I knew that this trip was unlikely to be good for my health, but this is taking it too far.’
’This is a Dao Lord we’re talking about. And he wants to kill the avatar of one of them. That avatar has to be at least rank 9. Is the dragon ignorant, or does this mean it is at rank 9 too?’
’I am so screwed. Fortunately, our communication is between us and not with the divine constellation, or our plan to kill a Dao Lord’s avatar wouldn’t be a secret to the Dao Lords.’
He tried to be brave, but his emotions remained turbulent for a few seconds more. In that time, he didn’t say anything to Loki. Fortunately, he didn’t need to say anything as it wasn’t his place to speak about Loki’s offer.
