317: Chapter 317 Two Things

In an instant, the man and the Fire Bird looked at each other in dismay.

Kunkun flapped its wings and landed on his head, "Wu Dalang, have you been drinking too much medicine? You just came to report this matter!"

"We have already finished negotiating with that so-called Mo Mie!"

"Uh..." Wu Dalang replied with a bitter smile, "Marshal, it's my fault for not making it clear. This time it's someone else, but they are also shrouded in black mist..."

"What?" The Fire Bird looked stunned, "Another one? What is this one's cultivation level?"

Wu Dalang shook his head, "I can't tell..."

"Hmm? Even you can't tell?" Kunkun became interested again, "Go bring him over! Lord Bird wants to see what kind of trouble this guy is trying to stir up!"

A moment later, another figure shrouded in black mist followed behind Wu Dalang, heading straight toward the man and the Fire Bird.

"Eh?" Kunkun's nose twitched, and it suddenly took a deep breath, a strange look appearing in its eyes.

Before the figure in black mist could get close, it rushed out first, "Gagaga! Old man Dongfang, I, the Marshal, am starting to admire you a little! To actually dare to come here alone to seek death!"

"Old man Dongfang?!" Wu Dalang immediately realized.

"Swish, swish, swish..." In an instant, the Great Emperors of the Nine Clans had already surrounded the figure in black mist.

The figure hidden in the black mist paused, clearly not expecting to have their identity exposed so quickly.

However, he was not flustered.

"Hahaha! Worthy of being the Marshal of the Yinming Army, you truly have extraordinary qualities!" Dongfang Lin no longer hid his voice.

"It really is that old thief Dongfang!" the Great Emperors of the Nine Clans shouted angrily.

They were already grieving over the losses of the Yinming Army today, and now it was as if they had found an outlet for their frustration.

"Fall back!" Just as they were planning to activate the Nine Dragon Formation, Lin Bei's voice rang out.

"As you command..." The Great Emperors of the Nine Clans hesitated for half a breath, but did not dare to disobey the order, standing obediently to the side and glaring at Dongfang Lin like tigers stalking prey.

"The Emperor Lord is truly worthy of being the Emperor Lord!" Dongfang Lin's voice contained admiration, "He is not comparable to those reckless people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a giant golden sword appeared above his head and smashed down!

"Hmph! Then let this old man experience the Emperor Lord's high-level skills!" At this critical moment, Dongfang Lin didn't forget to throw out a harsh remark.

In his heart, he was actually quite disdainful. No matter how strong a Great Saint was, could he really be Heaven-Defying?

Lin Bei couldn't stand others acting arrogant in front of him, and at the last moment, the momentum of the giant sword increased by another thirty percent!

Just as Dongfang Lin raised his right hand, the giant sword had already smashed down, carrying the momentum of heaven and earth.

"Boom!" For the second time in one day, Dongfang Lin was blasted into the ground like a meteorite.

"Ahhh..." A beast-like roar came from deep underground.

"Eh! That's good, now he's finally stopped acting!" Lin Bei retracted his sword and stood, nodding with satisfaction.

Soon, Dongfang Lin rushed out from underground, the black mist around him having long since dissipated completely.

At this moment, he was even more miserable than when he was hit by the Fire Bird's universe seal during the day.

His clothes were almost in tatters, and blood was dripping continuously from his right hand.

"An Immortal Artifact! Another Immortal Artifact!" Dongfang Lin stared at the giant golden sword, roaring internally, "The Nine Dragon Heavenly Emperor was only a True Immortal, how could he have two Immortal Artifacts?!"

"Swish!" In a thought, a five-colored wheel appeared as a phantom behind him, "Emperor Lord, is this your way of treating guests?"

The five elements life-extinguishing wheel couldn't really be counted as an Immortal Artifact, but rather belonged to a type of special forbidden artifact.

Forbidden artifacts have vastly different levels of power; some can destroy heaven and earth, while others only serve as a laughingstock when brought out.

But they all have one common characteristic: they all have quite a few usage restrictions.

For example, the restriction of the five elements life-extinguishing wheel is that it can only be used a few times, but its power is much greater than that of an ordinary Immortal Artifact.

Lin Bei's lips curled into an evil smile, "Don't misunderstand, this Emperor Lord just didn't want to converse with someone who hides their head and shows their tail. Now, you can speak about your so-called cooperation..."

A sharp light flashed in Dongfang Lin's eyes, and after two breaths of silence, he withdrew his sharpness, "This old man wants to speak with you alone!"

"Good!" Lin Bei did not hesitate in the slightest, looking at the Fire Bird and Great Emperor Di Jia and the others, "All of you, fall back!"

"Hmph! Old man, you had better not have any crooked ideas!" Before leaving, Kunkun didn't forget to add a threat.

Soon, only the two of them were left standing opposite each other on the spot.

"Speak! Don't beat around the bush, this Emperor Lord has limited patience!" Lin Bei said lightly.

Dongfang Lin stood with his hands behind his back, "Emperor Lord, what is the greatest obstacle for your Yinming Army right now?"

"That is naturally the Ancient Desolate Alliance!" Lin Bei said bluntly.

"Wrong!" Dongfang Lin shook his head, "To be precise, it is not the Ancient Desolate Alliance, but this old man!"

"Heh... you really know how to gild your own lily! What? Do you want this Emperor Lord to give you a medal?" Lin Bei sneered.

"The Emperor Lord need not use sarcasm!" Dongfang Lin's expression was calm, unmoved.

"To tell you the truth, this old man has already made preparations to return to the Immortal Realm. Now, as long as I complete two matters, I will return to the Immortal Realm immediately!"

"Whatever Ancient Desolate Alliance, Ancient Desolate Continent, or Yinming alien races, they will have nothing to do with this old man anymore!"

"As long as this old man leaves, those Great Saints of the Ancient Desolate Alliance will never be able to amount to anything; they will naturally fall apart. By then, your Yinming Army will have no more obstacles!"

"Oh?" A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Lin Bei's mouth, "So that's how it is; the two matters you mentioned must be completed with my help?"

"Correct!" Dongfang Lin did not deny it.

"The first matter: of the nine golden light orbs that appeared in the sky earlier, six fell into your hands. This old man wants three of them!"

"Tch!" Lin Bei sneered upon hearing this, "A dignified Immortal, can you only think of whimsical things?!"

"Don't be in such a hurry to refuse," Dongfang Lin seemed to have anticipated his reaction, "Listen to me finish the second matter!"

"This old man needs you to create an opportunity for me on the battlefield to kill the Lord of the Heavenly Court!"

"The Lord of the Heavenly Court?" Lin Bei feigned surprise, "A crippled person, and you want to use him to trade for three dao seeds? Are you not joking?"

"Heh heh... crippled!" Dongfang Lin gave a cold, sinister laugh, "Emperor Lord, don't blame this old man for not reminding you; that little beast is definitely more worthy of attention than that Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion from the Heavenly Court!"

"This old man is ninety percent certain that his disability is a disguise!"

"A disguise?" Lin Bei's gaze sharpened, as if he were carefully considering the other person's words.

Seeing this, Dongfang Lin struck while the iron was hot, "Emperor Lord, whether it is a disguise or not, you will naturally know when this old man makes his move!"

"How about this: if it is confirmed that he is disguised, you will then need to give this old man three dao seeds!"

"If not, you don't have to give the dao seeds! This is this old man's greatest sincerity!"

"Oh? Interesting!" Lin Bei raised the corner of his mouth, "Since you are so confident, this Emperor Lord doesn't mind cooperating with you to put on a show!"

"Good!" Dongfang Lin expressed joy upon hearing this, "Then it is a deal!"
