Chapter 533: Threats And Promises
All sorts of emotions flickered across Huiyao's face until his expression ultimately softened as he forced himself to laugh.
"Fine; I can simply relocate those people to other islands and treat it as a friendly exchange!"
"Good," Li Yuanjiao replied, narrowing his eyes and saying nothing further.
Huiyao reluctantly swore the Profound Scenery Spiritual Oath, and only then did Li Yuanjiao remove his hand from the hilt of his sword.
Li Yuanjiao gave his younger sister a signal, and Li Qinghong produced a storage pouch, placing it into the demon's hands. When Huiyao accepted it, his expression became more sincere. After exchanging a few more words, he hurriedly excused himself, cradling the jade box in its arms.
He flew out of the formation in a daze. It took him some time to register the fact that he had just been manipulated into taking an oath. Cold sweat trickled down his back and his mind was reeling.
Upon opening the storage pouch again, he discovered numerous spirit ores. The jade box in his hand felt icy, stirring feelings of excitement within him. Huiyao silently transformed back into his original form and dove deep into the sea.
As soon as Zong Yan respectfully sent Huiyao out of the formation, Li Qinghong sneered.
"As expected, they all fear power and lack morals. Trying to tempt them will just make their appetite grow; raise a fist, and they'll be silent immediately."
