Chapter 1492 - 1484: Compensation

Chapter 1492: Chapter 1484: Compensation

Mysterious Universe.

Space Battlefield.

Everyone looked at the shattered space passage, somewhat dazed.

How could this happen?

The Grand Elder looked at the broken golden token in his hand, full of doubts. Could it be that the token expired?

It shouldn’t be!

"Grand Elder, could it be the Pavilion Master is busy treasure hunting and has no time for us?"

A strong elder hesitated and conjectured.

"Possibly!"

The Grand Elder was the first to follow Mysterious Fate and understood the Pavilion Master’s personality too well, being a bit of a treasure fanatic. He took out another golden token from his personal space and crushed it forcefully.

Boom!

A golden light pierced through the void.

Under the starry dome, it constructed a space passage.

Inside the relic, Mysterious Fate paused her movements, looked at the space passage overhead, hesitated repeatedly, yet decided to check it out, just in case the people from the Immortal Treasure Pavilion had an emergency.

But before leaving, she cast terrifying seals with her hands, locking down the surrounding Starfield into a forbidden zone.

After completing all this, Mysterious Fate flew into the space passage.

At the same time, Li Mingzhe and others, suppressed by the Nine Provinces Cauldron, had their souls thinned greatly, on the verge of vanishing, looking longingly at the space passage.

"What happened?"

Finally, a crisp voice echoed around the Starfield.

As the words fell, a golden ingot flew out from the space passage, smashing into the starry sky, it was tens of thousands of miles huge, shattering the cosmos and knocking the Nine Provinces Cauldron away.

Li Mingzhe and others breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing to the ground.

A close call.

They were so close to being gone.

"Yet another powerhouse arrives!"

Qin Wudao frowned slightly, filled with gravity.

Being able to repel the Nine Provinces Cauldron with a single golden ingot was proof of the incoming person’s formidable power.

Under everyone’s gaze, Mysterious Fate emerged from the space passage, her hands behind her back, walking step by step, appearing quite adorable, not showing any demeanor of a powerhouse.

"Salute the Pavilion Master!"

The Grand Elder, Li Mingzhe, Tai Yue, and others respectfully greeted.

"Rise!"

Mysterious Fate waved her hand, glanced around, paused briefly on the Nine Provinces Cauldron deity, then looked at Qin Wudao, eyes brightening, finally pointing at the Grand Elder asking, "Tell me what you’re doing?"

"This..."

The Grand Elder’s wrinkled face showed a trace of embarrassment, uncertain how to explain.

Should he say that their attempt to snatch the Dao Manuscript failed, and they were beaten?

He felt that if he said so, he might get beaten again.

"Pavilion Master!"

While the Grand Elder was organizing his words, Li Mingzhe strode forward, eagerly stating, "A tremendous fortune, the Dao Manuscript is born!"

"Dao Manuscript?"

Mysterious Fate was slightly surprised.

"Indeed! Pavilion Master, the Dao Manuscript is in the hands of the Qin Dynasty. If the Pavilion Master obtains the Dao Manuscript, you would surely break through the Order Realm!" Li Mingzhe said excitedly.

While reporting, he was already imagining Mysterious Fate’s ecstatic expression, then making a thunderous move to annihilate the Qin Dynasty and seize the Dao Manuscript!

As for whether Mysterious Fate would snatch the Dao Manuscript, he wasn’t worried at all, for she was a martial artist at the half-step Order Realm, needing the Dao Manuscript more than anyone!

"So, you’re seizing the Dao Manuscript from the Qin Dynasty?"

Mysterious Fate inquired.

"For the Pavilion Master, I’m willing to bear the infamy!"

Li Mingzhe was still seeking credit, completely oblivious to Mysterious Fate’s subtle change in tone.

The Grand Elder standing on the side couldn’t help but shake his head.

He initially thought of helping his colleague Li Mingzhe out, but now, it seemed unnecessary.

Those who are too clever often meet a bitter end!

"Remember the rules I set?"

Mysterious Fate asked indifferently.

At this point, Li Mingzhe finally noticed Mysterious Fate’s change in attitude, pondered a moment, and replied solemnly, "Pavilion Master’s rules are engraved in my heart, yet involving the Dao Manuscript..."

Mysterious Fate interrupted Li Mingzhe directly, her voice turning cold, "Remember, yet ignoring them, right!"

Li Mingzhe grew anxious and uneasy.

"Recall my command? Not to become enemies with forces from intermediate and low-level universes, did you take it as wind by your ears?"

Mysterious Fate’s voice grew colder.

After uttering this, a horrifying killing aura erupted from her, penetrating the universe, causing temperatures to drop across the mysterious universe and surrounding cosmos.

Li Mingzhe’s pupils contracted, kneeling uncontrollably.

Only now did he realize.

His actions were all against Mysterious Fate’s orders.

Tai Yue, Lian Lingtian, and others hesitated, retreating a few steps, distancing themselves from Li Mingzhe.

"Kneel, all of you!"

Mysterious Fate glanced, commanding coldly.

Tai Yue, Lian Lingtian, and others knelt obediently, like defeated roosters, dejected.

Witnessing this, Qin Wudao was secretly shocked; he never expected Mysterious Fate’s words alone made seven Order Realm strongmen kneel.

It showed Mysterious Fate’s prowess to be beyond reach for ordinary people.

"You are the master of the Qin Dynasty, right!"

Mysterious Fate ignored the kneeling crowd and walked toward Qin Wudao, her white dress fluttering like a fairy stepping out of a painting.

"Indeed!"

Qin Wudao’s expression remained steady, responding calmly.

"These seven offended the Qin Dynasty; you decide whether they live or die! Moreover, as compensation for this incident, you shall be a partner in the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, entitled to one... three-tenths of its profits!"

Mysterious Fate looked Qin Wudao over carefully and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this.

The on-site people were shocked.

Li Mingzhe and the seven were like ashes, not expecting the Pavilion Master to abandon them.

The Grand Elder and the unarmed strongmen were equally puzzled; the Immortal Treasure Pavilion’s three-tenths profit was astronomical, yet the Pavilion Master offered it to the Qin Dynasty?

Additionally, a partner status that could mobilize the Immortal Treasure Pavilion’s power!

Equivalent to a vice-master!

Even Qin Wudao and the Qin Dynasty’s strongmen were somewhat surprised, not understanding why Mysterious Fate, at first meeting, was so kind toward the Qin Dynasty.

"This... Pavilion Master of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, I’ve already got a family!"

Qin Wudao blurted out.

Mysterious Fate was taken aback, then reacted, shaking her head with a laugh, "Call me Mysterious Fate, alright! I’m merely compensating you, irrelevant whether you have a family, and you are so weak..."

She didn’t continue her sentence.

Yet Qin Wudao could infer, his mouth twitching, his face a bit stiff.

Heavens!

Am I being self-delusionally disparaged?

I’ve squandered the Qin Dynasty’s reputation!

"Lady Mysterious Fate, I can’t accept undeserved benefits, let’s forgo the Immortal Treasure Pavilion profits!"

Fortunately, being a ruler many years, Qin Wudao remained composed even under pressure, steadied his mind, and shook his head refusing.

He also knew the Immortal Treasure Pavilion’s three-tenths profit was astronomical.

Sufficient to accelerate the Qin Dynasty’s rapid development.

But he understood there’s no free lunch in the world!

Great benefits often accompany great risks!
