Chapter 1440 (Raw 1428): Handing Over the Saber Sovereign Medallion

“Shadowless Saber Sovereign, don’t go!” Xiao Bai panicked and wanted to give chase. However, Shui Lingling stopped her.

“Elder Sister Lingling, don’t stop me. He is…umph…umph…” Xiao Bai was about to say the last two words, but Shui Lingling covered her mouth.

Then, Shui Lingling whispered, “Don’t say it aloud.”

By now, Shui Lingling had guessed it. Her feeling was right. The Shadowless Saber Sovereign was the existence that she thought about day and night. Now, her heart was at ease.

Going around as the Shadowless Saber Sovereign was fine. At the very least, it would not attract too much attention. If his identity was exposed, the Primes would definitely not allow him to grow.

At Xiao Chen’s current stage, although he was strong enough, he was still far from a match for the various Holy Masters and Primes.

The day Xiao Chen removed his mask, he would be able to hold his own, able to confront Primes.

Shui Lingling was meticulous in her thoughts and quickly guessed why Xiao Chen hid his identity. It was likely that the truth was not far from her guess.

“Elder Sister Lingling, he really is—” Xiao Bai said after she struggled free from Shui Lingling. However, she only spoke halfway before Shui Lingling interrupted her.

“I know, but we can’t say it. We have to leave quickly. He must have his own difficulties. For him to take the risk and help us out here already proves that he hasn’t changed. He…is well.”

Xiao Bai entered deep thought. After a while, she smiled and looked at Shui Lingling. Then, she said, “Elder Sister Lingling, I understand.”

“Understand what?” An Junxi asked out of curiosity after walking over.

“It’s a secret. I’m not telling you. Think about it yourself,” Xiao Bai said while giggling. She showed a slight smile, clearly in a better mood.

Shui Lingling smiled gently. “Let’s go. Let’s not miss out on this opportunity and report back to our masters. We cannot let the Deity Dao Union’s people remain in the Savage Battlefield like that. They are too unbridled.”

---

On the other side, Xiao Chen felt somewhat bitter. He saw his friends and family but could not meet them.

Aside from not having resolved his fixation, the biggest reason was actually as Shui Lingling guessed. The identity of the Shadowless Saber Sovereign was very important to him. He needed to use it to get into the Mirage Immortal Palace.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Two figures descended from the sky and blocked Xiao Chen as they flickered with light. Six more people descended in another three directions, sealing off his escape routes.

There were also three middle-aged men standing side by side in the sky. As they hovered in the air, they looked coldly at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen looked at these three and revealed a bitter smile on his face. “What a great expenditure! Even the three Holy Masters are here.”

Front, back, left, and right. Every direction had two Eighth Heaven Martial Emperors. Furthermore, Xiao Chen sensed a Holy Beast Martial Spirit’s aura coming from them.

Eight Eighth Heaven Martial Emperors and three Holy Masters made a personal appearance. That was to say that the Three Holy Lands mobilized their peak fighting force for the sake of surrounding the Shadowless Saber Sovereign.

A Holy Land’s Sect Master would usually be a Ninth Heaven Martial Emperor at most. Then, there would be two or three Eighth Heaven Martial Emperor Supreme Elders. If there were any other trump cards, those would be reserved for dealing with Primes.

For example, the Three Holy Land’s Holy Beast Totems, the Five Poison Sect’s poison cloud covering the sky, or the Cyclic Astral Palace’s pool of Solar True Flame and Lunar True Flame.

Short of using the Holy Beast Totems, the Three Holy Lands could be said to have pulled out all the stops for the sake of surrounding him.

This was truly incredible. All Xiao Chen had done was land a chop on Di Wuque. If Xiao Chen really killed him, would the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign lead the entire Deity Dao Union to kill Xiao Chen no matter where he was?

“Shadowless Saber Sovereign, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign thinks that you are incredible. As long as you are willing to hand over the Saber Sovereign Medallion or cast your lot with the Deity Dao Union, we can ignore all past matters. Everything can be negotiated. He is even willing to give you the position of Vice Union Chief,” one of the two people blocking in front said. These two were Supreme Elders of the Phoenix’s Passion Palace.

“During this golden age, several outstanding talents and heroes joined the Deity Dao Union. However, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign never offered them the position of Vice Union Chief. Aside from the three Holy Masters, the other Vice Union Chiefs are all Primes. Shadowless Saber Sovereign, now do you see how highly the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign thinks of you?” the other person in front continued.

While the two spoke, they both felt somewhat envious. Their position in the Deity Dao Union was not that high.

As long as the Shadowless Saber Sovereign was willing, he could immediately become their superior, holding the same position as the three Holy Masters.

It was true that the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign had never thought so highly of a person.

If it were possible, these two would not have said this. However, these words were what the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign specifically instructed them to say; they could not defy his order.

While seated on the throne, Xiao Chen smiled coldly to himself. Then, he said indifferently, “The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign really thinks highly of me.”

What a joke. Xiao Chen had a hatred for the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, one that did not permit him to share the same skies as the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign. If not for his extreme resilience, he would have already died several times over at the hands of the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign.

If not for the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, why would Xiao Chen have shown restraint before? Xiao Chen clearly had the chance to kill Di Wuque but did not do so.

If not for the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, why would there be so many graves covered in blood for thousands of kilometers in Meteor Trail City, appearing boundless? All these graves had Xiao Chen’s name outlined in blood on them.

Such hatred could never be forgotten!

“Of course, this treatment is something that the rest of us cannot receive. Just think about it. You injured the Divine Son. However, you can see the Deity Sovereign’s bearing in this matter. This about this carefully.”

“Even if you are not willing to join the Deity Dao Union, as long as you hand over the Saber Sovereign Medallion, you can receive polite reception from the Deity Dao Union as well. The Deity Sovereign is already very polite to you; it is now up to you.”

The two Supreme Elders took turns speaking, trying to hype up the offer.

However, aside from a cold smile to himself, Xiao Chen did not react in any way. Do they take me for a fool?

While the two Supreme Elders spoke, the old men in the other three directions silently tightened the encirclement.

However, that was fine as well. Xiao Chen was also playing for time. When encircled to such a degree, he had only one chance to break out.

Once he missed it, the consequences would be dire.

“It is impossible for me to join the Deity Dao Union. However, I can consider giving away the Saber Sovereign Medallion.” Seated on the throne, Xiao Chen pretended to think. After that, he said, “However, how are you going to guarantee that after you obtain the Saber Sovereign Medallion, you won’t go after me?”

Upon seeing that there was a chance, one of the Phoenix’s Passion Palace’s old men said with a smile, “Don’t worry. If you are willing to hand over the Saber Sovereign Medallion, I will make a vow to let you go. The three Holy Masters will not make things difficult for you, either!”

Presumably, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign also knew the value of the Saber Sovereign Medallion. He was willing to tolerate the Shadowless Saber Sovereign, to exchange the Saber Sovereign Medallion for the Shadowless Saber Sovereign’s life.

However, even if the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign could be tolerant, Xiao Chen could not. The various benefits of the Saber Sovereign Medallion aside, just the fact that the previous Saber Sovereign Wu Xiaotian had personally handed it to him was enough for him not to want to give it away.

“Well, come over and get it, then.” Xiao Chen spun the Saber Sovereign Medallion in his hand as he looked at this person and said, “However, do you have the courage to do it?”

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, the White Tiger Holy Master suddenly descended from the sky. Then, he raised his hand to stop that Supreme Elder preparing to go forward. Then, he growled coldly, “Stop playing tricks. I’ll use an Oath Stone and make a vow. As long as you are willing to hand over the Saber Sovereign Medallion, we will let you go.”

After saying that, the White Tiger Holy Master truly took out an Oath Stone and swore on his name as the White Tiger Holy Master that as long as the Shadowless Saber Sovereign was willing to hand over the Saber Sovereign Medallion, he would let him go.

Xiao Chen’s expression changed slightly. This was surprising. He had not expected the White Tiger Holy Master to come down personally.

He had thought that two Supreme Elders would come over together at most. That way, the instant they took the Saber Sovereign Medallion, he would use that opportunity to charge out.

However, against all expectations, the White Tiger Holy Master personally came down, not giving Xiao Chen any chance whatsoever.

I’ll risk it all!

No matter what, there was only one chance. Xiao Chen needed to fight for it. He activated the ten spots of Saber Energy, preparing to gather them in the Saber Sovereign Medallion. At the same time, he prepared to use the Sharp Spirit Finger.

When necessary, after igniting the ten spots of Saber Energy, Xiao Chen could use the Sharp Spirit Finger and gamble on it.
