Chapter 519 - 515: Agreement

"So the token for a chance at life?" Bai Yuxi, who kept thinking about the chances of failure, realized this was an ideal situation. Her eyes brightened as she said with leaking excitement.

Wei Wuyin gave her a glance, coughing a little heavier. His physical state seemed to be in a decline, with the coughs becoming more frequent, heavier than each such cough before.

"Yes."V/\IssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).co/m for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce

Lin Ming relaxed a little, "Actions have consequences. Only fools use such self-harming means for temporary gains. As an alchemist, you should know better."

But how could such words be said? Wei Wuyin swiftly retorted, a hint of anger within his eyes: "If it wasn’t for that woman that stopped me, would we be having this talk? No. I would’ve been the final victor of this trial, the entire final cache would be mine, and this state I’m in wouldn’t have happened. Do you truly not realize this? Are you really a delusional idiot?!"

The anger was as genuine as humanly possible. He truly considered Lin Ming a delusional idiot, and the Chosen title might even be wasted on him. But that Mystic Ascendant Protector had interfered, arbitrarily enforcing this one year bullshit agreement. And then the Heavenly Daos was influencing the situation; it was quite unfair, but the heavens was never fair.

If they were, would the First Sinner and his bloodline exist?

Wei Wuyin glanced at Lin Ming like he was an idiot, "You just state problems? Why not force some solutions. For example: ask me to swear an oath of peace as well. Or better yet, think a little more; In my current state, wouldn’t I have to use it to fight you? Why not just obtain the entire cache if I was willing to pay that price in a fight."

Lin Ming didn’t like the condescending tone in Wei Wuyin’s voice, but even he felt he was being too cautious and not thorough. It was just that there was a nagging feeling that Wei Wuyin wanted more. He didn’t know why, but his instincts prodded at him without end.

But if this spell worked, then he’d claim the token regardless of this bargain or Wei Wuyin’s unwillingness. So he could wait until after it was done, and if it worked, then all of this was irrelevant. "Fine, I’ll establish the oaths after I’m finished recovering."

"No." Wei Wuyin flatly declined.

How could he not? He knew whatever this was had been a product of the Heavenly Daos interference, designed to give Lin Ming the Chosen title. How? He didn’t know, but he sure as hell wasn’t waiting to find out.

"We do it now or never. If we don’t, then I will swear an oath that I’ll never surrender even in death. To obtain this token, you better be ready to die, because I’ll have nothing left to lose." With those firm words, Lin Ming, Tang Xingyun, and Bai Yuxi frowned. If this didn’t work, then with that method of his, they might have to legitimately risk their lives.

Bai Yuxi’s heart didn’t want to lose this absolute certainty over that 30%. She sent her thoughts to Lin Ming via spiritual transmission, explaining the chances of success and her opinion. If they agree, they lose one item but obtain the token. If they didn’t, and it failed, they would face Wei Wuyin in this Season of Emptiness. She couldn’t act, Venerable Spiritwalker deigned to act, and Lin Ming might not be enough.

As for Tang Xingyun, her soul was suffering. She was even more useless than before.

After a long silence and numerous spiritual transmissions, Lin Ming sighed. "I agree."
