Chapter 1008: Is the Dragon God Within Ye Xiu?

At the moment Ye Xiu drew the Battle Soul Blade, the AI-controlled Li Yingsu showed an incredibly shocked and disbelieving expression.

It’s the Dragon Soul Blade!

It truly is the Dragon Soul Blade!

Ever since the Dragon God died, the Dragon Soul Blade vanished from the world; how could it be in Ye Xiu’s hands?

The AI not only knows about the Dragon Soul Blade!

It can be said to know very well!

The Dragon Soul Blade is the Life Divine Weapon of the Dragon God, unbreakable, capable of cutting through all tangible things in the world.

Although the Three Judgment Divine Weapons are forged from special material, incredibly hard, they are considered the best among divine weapons, but compared to the Dragon Soul Blade... no, they don’t qualify to be compared at all.

The Dragon Soul Blade cutting through the Three Judgment Divine Weapons is probably like chopping wood.

"You win!"

AI-controlled Li Yingsu sighed and compromised:

"I can agree to use all hostages to exchange for the Three Judgment Divine Weapons."

Ye Xiu laughed; he’d won this negotiation, and asked:

"Where is the exchange?"

"Tomorrow at noon, at the top of the North Forest Island’s Mount Qiwushan."

The AI-controlled Li Yingsu finished speaking and got up to leave.

Ye Xiu then took out his phone and sent a message to Gong Jin:

"Notify the Navy stationed at Tamwood City to temporarily not air-drop gasoline on Forest Island, await my orders."

If gasoline is dropped now, the AI will guess his plan and might interrupt the hostage exchange.

"Understood!" Gong Jin replied, "There’s something very strange; the zombies from the Underground City and Forest Island are, for some reason, rushing at full speed toward the southern Wuji Mountain Range in the Underground City and Forest Island, and after the zombies from King Island crossed the formation barrier, they headed toward the southern Wuji Mountain Range of the Underground City."

Ye Xiu read the message, unable to figure out what the AI’s scheme was; over a hundred million zombies, along with millions of mutated beasts that died in Royal City, all going to the Wuji Mountain Range.

The Wuji Mountain Range can’t accommodate so many zombies.

There must be something strange about this abnormal situation!

The AI must be plotting something sinister!

"Notify You Ming to closely monitor movements in the Wuji Mountain Range." Ye Xiu replied.

Gong Jin: "Understood!"

At the time, the highest peak of the Wuji Mountain Range, the top of Wuji Peak.

Grandma Tian Gu asked the AI ’A Ruan’ beside her, "Did Li Yingsu and Ye Xiu’s negotiation come to a result?"

A Ruan nodded expressionlessly and recounted the details of Li Yingsu’s and Ye Xiu’s negotiation, as well as the details of controlling Li Yingsu in the negotiation with Ye Xiu.

Grandma Tian Gu was astonished after hearing it: "Dragon Soul Blade? That’s impossible, the Dragon Soul Blade is the Life Divine Weapon of the Dragon God, which disappeared following the fall of the Dragon God, how could it still exist, unless..."

"Unless what?" A Ruan asked.

"Unless the Dragon God didn’t die!" Grandma Tian Gu said in astonishment, "Is it possible that back then the Dragon God didn’t fall, but survived in the form of a remnant soul?"

"I think so too."

A Ruan nodded and said:

"There are now three possibilities: First, Ye Xiu has long been possessed by the remnant soul of the Dragon God, so Ye Xiu can find and wield the Dragon Soul Blade, this possibility is extremely slight, almost impossible;"

"Second, the remnant soul of the Dragon God resides in Ye Xiu’s body, reaching some agreement with him, temporarily lending the Dragon Soul Blade to Ye Xiu, this possibility is also unlikely because the Dragon God knows about the Three Judgment Divine Weapons, if the remnant soul resides in Ye Xiu, he would never allow Ye Xiu to exchange the Three Judgment Divine Weapons with me for hostages;"

"Third, the Dragon God in the form of a Dragon God Totem is dormant in Ye Xiu’s body, unbeknownst to Ye Xiu, and once Ye Xiu completes the repair of the damaged Dragon God Totem, the Dragon God will awaken and proceed to possess Ye Xiu, this possibility is very high."

Grandma Tian Gu pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said, "It should be the third possibility."

A Ruan laughed: "Poor Ye Xiu, tragic for half his life, ultimately making wedding clothes for the Dragon God, fear that when the Dragon God destroys his Primordial Spirit and possesses his body, he won’t even know how he died."

"The resurrection of the Dragon God must be prevented." Grandma Tian Gu said seriously, "We must kill Ye Xiu!"

A Ruan nodded.

"Are you really planning to exchange hostages for the Three Judgment Divine Weapons at noon tomorrow?" Grandma Tian Gu asked.

"Tomorrow at noon, the top of Mount Qiwushan will be Ye Xiu’s burial place." A Ruan said with utmost confidence.

Grandma Tian Gu laughed; since A Ruan dared to say so, there must be a detailed plan.

Immediately changing the topic:

"The zombie army rushing towards the Wuji Mountain Range, making such a big move, won’t escape satellite surveillance, Ye Xiu probably knows by now, so what’s your plan?"

A Ruan thought for a moment and said, "Outsiders only know Wuji Peak was once a volcano, but don’t realize it is the door to Sacrificial Spirit Mountain;"

"Opening the door requires two crucial factors:"

"First, the Yin and Cold Qi as sacrifice;"

"Second, the Three Judgment Divine Weapons;"

"Corpses contain extremely pure Yin and Cold Qi, enough for the zombie army’s sacrifice needs;"

"Tomorrow at noon, I’ll obtain the Three Judgment Divine Weapons;"

"The two factors for opening Sacrificial Spirit Mountain are complete."

"However, to smoothly conduct the plan without interruptions, zombies entering the volcano mustn’t be detected by satellite surveillance."

"Hence, I already dug several tunnels under Wuji Peak leading to its interior, having the zombie army use the cover of dense forest in the Wuji Mountain Range, travel through the tunnels, and enter the volcano..."

Grandma Tian Gu nodded after hearing this; over a hundred million zombies entering the volcano through several tunnels will require an extremely long time for them all to enter the volcano.

This method is slow but secretive.

It’s better than blatantly throwing zombies into the volcano’s crater, alerting Ye Xiu, the Demon Clan, and the Dragon King’s Palace, who’d come and disrupt things.

...

The next day, before noon, Ye Xiu had already arrived first at the top of Mount Qiwushan!

He waited until precisely twelve, when Li Yingsu, with a large group of black-clad masked people carrying unconscious hostages, arrived belatedly.

The number of hostages was large!

Including Qin Qing’s parents, Ye Xiu’s uncle’s family, Ye Lin’er, Ye Xiu’s Family’s 19 beautiful maids, everyone from Medicine King Valley, everyone from Dongfang Family.

And the number of black-clad masked individuals Li Yingsu brought matched the number of hostages.

"With your medical skills, you should be able to tell that they are still alive, right?"

After ascending, the black-clad masked individuals placed the unconscious hostages in a row on the ground, Li Yingsu asked with a smirk.

"Certainly!"

Ye Xiu nodded, but his eyes were observing all the black-clad masked individuals, covered so thoroughly that no skin was exposed, even wearing sunglasses.

Moreover, Ye Xiu noticed these black-clad masked individuals had no cultivation, indicating they were neither martial artists, but purely holders of Extraordinary Abilities, or purely Totem Inheritors.

"Where are the Three Judgment Divine Weapons?" Li Yingsu asked.

Ye Xiu took the Three Judgment Divine Weapons out of his backpack and tossed them to Li Yingsu, saying:

"The transaction is complete, you can leave!"

Li Yingsu caught the Three Judgment Divine Weapons and laughed triumphantly, saying:

"Ye Xiu, oh Ye Xiu, don’t you think you’re being too foolish? So readily giving me the Three Judgment Divine Weapons, while you are alone, aren’t you afraid I’ll order to kill all the hostages in one go? Although you are strong, you can’t kill all the black-clad masked individuals instantly, can you?"
