Chapter 1984: Middleman Song Shuhang

Chapter 1984: Middleman Song Shuhang


Translator: G.o.dBrandy 


“So it was you…”


All of it was actually Tyrannical Song’s fault!


What’s the deal with this ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯? It’s a secret technique I’ve never heard of before…


Logically speaking, once a person’s strength reached the same realm as the Heavenly Emperor’s, they would be able to discern the principles behind all kinds of techniques with just a glance.


However, she just could not figure out the principles behind this ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯.

!!

After finally recovering, the Heavenly Emperor stood up and moved her body around.


She could not let Song Shuhang find out that she was affected whenever used that technique on the black-skinned Soft Feather. Otherwise, Song Shuhang would discover a weakness of hers. And because of that, in the future, she could be forced into a more pa.s.sive state when faced with him.


The Heavenly Emperor rubbed her temples and said in slight distress, “I need to figure out a way to neutralize this secret technique and make it so that it doesn’t affect me. At the very least, I need to make sure that n.o.body else knows that I can be affected by it.”


Disrupting fate was not something that could be done just by willing it.


The laws of fate and time were the most elusive.


Even if the “path” that she had stepped onto was one of time, that did not make it a simple matter.


The path of time could never be truly mastered.


n.o.body could rule over time, most who appeared to do so only did so through deception.


The Heavenly Emperor said, “Anyway, I still have some confidence in being able to conceal my state.”


At the very least, even when she was under the effects of the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯, she was confident that she could conceal any emotions it caused her to feel, remaining calm and collected throughout the process.


But then again, the ma.s.sage-like effect of this ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ was very good. As long as she endured it, she would be able to feel in greater harmony with Soft Feather’s ghost spirit.


Being able to better control the ghost spirit was something very useful to her.


If she could reduce the sudden change brought about by the technique, she could even regard the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ as a type of healing technique.

On the other side, Senior Eternal Fire called Song Shuhang back.


Sixteen held Song Shuhang’s head with one hand, holding his phone to his ear with the other.


“Little friend Shuhang, what’s this deal you’re talking about?” True Monarch Eternal Fire asked with a wry smile. “We’re in a rather critical situation at the moment.”


The scholarly faction was not in the best of states, and he and the other leaders had to deal with a huge mess.


Song Shuhang replied, “There’s someone who wants to exchange the bodies of the scholarly faction’s Thirteen Tribulation Transcenders for some fragments of the Heavenly City.”


True Monarch Eternal Fire was taken aback.


After a moment, he asked, “Who is it?”


Song Shuhang said, “The one who was fighting with you just now.”


The corner of True Monarch Eternal Fire’s mouth convulsed violently.


The emotions that were running rampant in his heart were frankly difficult to describe.


Little friend Shuhang really does have quite an unconventional approach here.


Just a while ago, he was on the side of the scholarly faction. He fought against an Immortal from the Ancient Heavenly City and sealed the other party, leaving them in a state of eternal death.


Yet now, he’s acting as a middleman between the Ancient Heavenly City and the scholarly faction, encouraging the two sides to do some business.


What in the world is going on?


However, it was undeniable that the Ancient Heavenly City was making an offer that the scholarly faction would have a hard time rejecting.


The bodies of the Thirteen Tribulation Transcenders had too much symbolic meaning to the scholarly faction.


“Senior Eternal Fire, you don’t have to worry about me when making your decision,” Song Shuhang said. “I’m just a messenger, and the Heavenly Emperor and I are not on friendly terms; our relations.h.i.+p could even be said to be leaning toward a hostile one. Anyhow, you should keep in consideration your side’s interests when deciding on how to proceed with this deal.”


When the Heavenly Emperor first appeared, she had appeared as an enemy or villain.


But after stealing Soft Feather’s ghost spirit, her position became unclear.


However, it was uncertain whether everything was just a part of her schemes or if she was being affected by Soft Feather’s character.


Regardless, if she were to be evaluated objectively, she was not someone who was on friendly terms with Song Shuhang.


Senior Eternal Fire said, “I see. I’ll need some time to discuss with the others.”


In response, Song Shuhang said, “No problem. If Senior decides to proceed with the deal, then you can come to the Inner Demon Cave.”


❄️❄️❄️


In the end, the scholarly faction decided to trade with the Heavenly Emperor.


To be precise, the scholarly faction decided to trade with Song Shuhang.


They would hand over the rest of the Ancient Heavenly City Fragments to Song Shuhang, who would then trade them for the four bodies of the scholarly faction’s Thirteen Tribulation Transcenders.


Anyway, the number of the remaining Ancient Heavenly City Fragments was a lot lower than what Song Shuhang had thought.


The first reason for this was that there were quite a few fragments that had been processed by Song Shuhang’s Inner World and become part of the world of the golden lotus, so they could not be moved out again.


The second reason was that a portion of the fragments that were being moved around had already been quietly taken away by the Heavenly Emperor.


And as for the third reason, there was still a portion of fragments that had yet to be s.h.i.+pped to the center of the scholarly faction. These fragments were hidden in other areas owned by the scholarly faction across the main world and in other worlds.


These hidden Heavenly City Fragments would not be appearing anytime soon.


And so, all of the Ancient Heavenly City Fragments were reduced to small spheres and transferred into Song Shuhang’s Inner World under the power of the great master from the Jingang Temple.


The Inner Demon Cave was also sent into Song Shuhang’s Inner World—this was Senior White’s reward, and it had already been agreed that it would temporarily stay with Song Shuhang.


In addition, the scholarly faction also decided to give a fragment to Sixteen—this was the reward that they had agreed on before. To be more precise, the fragment was given to Sister White Dragon, who was hovering behind Sixteen.


The Heavenly City Fragment given to Sixteen was no longer under the owners.h.i.+p of the scholarly faction and was thus not included in the transaction.


The fragment that she received was a fragment of the Gravity Palace.


Since it was not the complete Gravity Palace, it was only suitable for cultivators at the Sixth Stage and below. But this was exactly the fragment that Song Shuhang needed.


❄️❄️❄️


After receiving the fragments from the scholarly faction, Sixteen carried Song Shuhang’s head with her as she flew on her saber, heading out to meet the Heavenly Emperor.


The Heavenly Emperor was sitting on a huge, palace-like immortal boat at this time.


She was the only person on the immortal boat.


The members of the Ancient Heavenly City that she had brought with her had temporarily retreated.


“I didn’t expect that Senior Song would be able to persuade those bookworms.” The Heavenly Emperor placed her chin in one of her palms and looked at Song Shuhang with a smile.


Her eyes shone with a dangerous light.


However, Song Shuhang kept on getting the feeling that she was concealing something!


Could it be that the Heavenly Emperor doesn’t have the bodies of the Thirteen Tribulation Transcenders and is planning to scam me of these Heavenly City Fragments?


Song Shuhang suddenly became alert.


After all, the Heavenly Emperor did have a criminal record, and even the Almighty Merchant had been scammed by her.


There were many dishonest and treacherous businesspeople in the world.


Without some skepticism, doing business would only result in losses!


“The bodies of the Thirteen Tribulation Transcenders have great significance to the scholarly faction, so I can’t take much credit in this,” Song Shuhang said. “Shall we exchange the goods at the same time?”


“I was thinking the same.” The Heavenly Emperor nodded.


Then, she took out four bodies.
