Ling Tian Sword God

”What I need is called the ’Saint’s Soul Niche,’ an extremely rare sacred object. If you can obtain this and bring it to me, I will help you awaken your friend.”

Hades Supreme said.

”Saint’s Soul Niche, though I don’t know what it is, since you’ve mentioned it, I will do my best to find it.”

Ling Chen frowned slightly, then his expression became determined. This Saint’s Soul Niche must be an unparalleled treasure, and obtaining it would be very challenging.

However, no matter how difficult, there is hope, unlike before when I was like a headless fly without a target.

”Three months, I give you three months. After three months, bring the Saint’s Soul Niche back to see me.”

Hades Supreme looked at Ling Chen, ”Your friend may have a place for her soul to reside, but as time goes on, it’s hard to ensure that her soul won’t dissipate. So, you don’t have much time, you must hurry.”

”Then it’s settled. In three months, I will bring what you want back here.”

Ling Chen nodded. What the other party said made sense. As time passed, it would be hard to say whether the Holy Spirit Talisman could still protect Xia Yunxin’s soul.

Only by awakening Xia Yunxin as soon as possible can there be no more worries.

After making an agreement with Hades Supreme, Ling Chen also bid farewell to him. After clasping his hands together respectfully, he prepared to leave.

”Take this; it will make coming and going from Spirit Snake Island much easier for you.”

Hades Supreme suddenly called out to Ling Chen and then tossed a Jade Badge, which landed in Ling Chen’s hand.

Ling Chen glanced down at the Jade Badge, which was engraved with Hades Supreme’s name and a special insignia. This Jade Badge should be Hades Supreme’s token of trust.

”Thank you.”

With the token, Ling Chen then turned and left the Huang Quan Pavilion.

After Ling Chen left, Huang Quan Pavilion returned to its deathly silence. However, this atmosphere lasted only a moment before a ”krak” sound signaled the activation of some mechanism. The next moment, a figure wearing a wide black robe and hood, with a wide cape trailing behind, emerged from behind.

”Left Guardian Law.”

Upon seeing this male figure in black appear, Hades Supreme slightly bowed and saluted.

The aura emanating from this man in black was extremely obscure, as if his entire body was a vortex that swallowed the surrounding cold Heavenly Earth Energy.

This person was a Saint.

”Are you really ninety percent sure you can save this kid’s friend?”

The man in black turned to look at Hades Supreme and asked.

”Saying ninety percent is a bit of an exaggeration. It’s to keep this kid motivated to work for us.”

Hades Supreme showed a respectful expression, with a pale, wicked smile on his face. ”But if that kid can really get the Saint’s Soul Niche for us, then helping him wouldn’t be out of the question either.”

The man in black nodded upon hearing this, ”You’ve done well.”

”But can that kid truly get the Saint’s Soul Niche? That’s the Swordsaint Family’s treasured artifact. Do you think this kid has the capability to do it?”

Hades Supreme asked with some doubt.

The Saint’s Soul Niche is such a precious item that even our Witch Fiend Sect has no chance of obtaining it. How could a mere junior, no matter how talented, obtain it?

”If it were anyone else, the probability of obtaining the Saint’s Soul Niche would be zero, but if it’s this kid, he still has a chance.”

The man in black looked in the direction Ling Chen left, his eyes gleaming with wisdom, then turned to Hades Supreme, ”Do you know who this kid is?”

”He doesn’t seem to be from the Ling Family,” Hades Supreme mused, ”He said he’s not a disciple of any Saint’s Family in Xuzhou. Is he lying?”

”He’s not lying,”

The man in black shook his head, ”Though he’s no longer a member of the Ling Family, he is closely connected to them, and for us, he is more useful than an actual member of the Ling Family. If he were a real member of the Ling Family, how would he ever think of going after his family’s treasured artifact for a woman?”

Having already figured out Ling Chen’s background, how could I possibly allow him to roam Spirit Snake Island unchecked?

Everything that happened here was all part of my plans long ago.

”Even if that kid aims to retrieve the Saint’s Soul Niche, it might still be somewhat difficult given his capabilities,” Hades Supreme said, still skeptical.

”Rest assured, I’ve arranged everything,” the man in black said calmly, with an air of having already plotted out everything.

”Then I was being overly cautious.”

Hades Supreme nodded, slightly surprised at the meticulousness of his counterpart’s plans.

Ling Chen, such a young junior, was nothing more than a pawn to be played around with.

...

Thanks to Hades Supreme’s token, Ling Chen encountered no further obstacles and easily left Spirit Snake Island.

Even along the way, some maze arrays, trapping arrays seemed to automatically avoid him, allowing Ling Chen a very smooth journey.

”Master, is what Hades Supreme said credible?”

Standing on the back of a Flying Puppet, Ling Chen transmitted his voice to the Human Emperor.

After a moment, the Human Emperor responded, ”You can trust her, but not entirely.”

”That woman definitely wants to use you, or perhaps it’s not just her intentions, but those of the entire Witch Fiend Sect. The Saint’s Soul Niche is likely an extraordinary item. However, since they made a deal with you, it means you have a chance to get it; otherwise, they wouldn’t waste time telling so much to someone useless like you.”

The Human Emperor analyzed.

”Master, do you think Hades Supreme can really bring Senior Sister Xia back to life?”

Ling Chen asked with a focused gaze.

”That I cannot say.”

The Human Emperor shook his head, ”However, since Hades Supreme is capable of refining something like the Soul-returning Pill, she probably has some grasp of the secret art of soul resurrection, but it’s hard to tell. Even if she does, she might not actually help you honestly.”

”You’re right.”

Ling Chen nodded. A force like the Witch Fiend Sect is not a righteous sect; integrity and agreements hold no binding power over them.

”But since there’s a slim chance, it shouldn’t be missed. As for how to handle things later, I’ll figure it out in detail then.”

No matter what, Ling Chen intended to secure the Saint’s Soul Niche first. Once he had it, he would have leverage. How to trade with the Witch Fiend Sect or negotiate terms would be up to him.

The rest can be addressed after obtaining the Saint’s Soul Niche.
