Chapter 1281: This Is Asking For Death!

After hearing and seeing everything, Gui Shounian immediately slammed the table, his face filled with indignation!

"Bastard!"

"How could someone be so vicious as to harm my nephew to such an extent? Brother Liu, there's no need to say more. We'll discuss the matter of the immortal tokens later. I will spare no effort to help you kill this scoundrel first!"

Though his words were righteous, he never forgot about the immortal tokens.

Liu Runan was no pushover either. After a cold laugh in his heart, his face showed the same righteous and grateful expression.

"Thank you, Brother Gui."

"However, killing him isn't necessary. We need to plan this carefully!"

"My son is now only a soul flame. I want him to possess that man's body, so we absolutely cannot kill him. We must capture him alive. I hope Brother Gui can assist me in this!"

Possession?

Capture alive?

Hearing this, Gui Shounian's face showed a hint of difficulty.

"According to what you're saying, Brother Liu, this person must have some cultivation. It shouldn't be too difficult for the two of us to kill him together, but capturing him alive might be..."

Before he could finish, Liu Runan had already seen through everything.

"If this succeeds, I am willing to offer five immortal tokens!"

Thud!

These words made Gui Shounian's old heart skip a beat!

In the past, Liu Runan, that sly fox, would never have been willing to part with five immortal tokens. It seemed that this matter was indeed urgent and had put him under great pressure. If he missed this opportunity, it might be hard to come by again.

Moreover, the current situation of the Ancient Sea Clan wasn't great either.

Having migrated from the rich and vast seas to this small East Sea, resources were simply insufficient. Just a few days ago, many of their younger members had ventured ashore in search of treasures to break through, only to perish without a trace...

If he and Liu Runan teamed up to capture a Nirvana Realm cultivator, it would be like wealth delivered to their doorstep. No matter what, they had to take this chance. Even if that person was somewhat powerful, how strong could he really be?

If he were truly formidable, Liu Runan wouldn't dare to make a move. This kind of suicidal act was something that sly fox wouldn't do. He was definitely not that foolish.

In fact, Gui Shounian secretly hoped that the opponent would be a bit stronger, so he could raise the price and squeeze more out of Liu Runan. Wouldn't that be wonderful...

After pondering for a few moments, Gui Shounian gritted his teeth and slammed the table.

"Alright!"

"Since Brother Liu is so eager, I will definitely help!"

The two old men looked at each other and laughed, their eyes filled with confidence!

An hour later.

The two old men were slowly walking through the vast desert, their steps seemingly unhurried but actually covering thousands of miles with each stride. As they headed toward their destination, they discussed the details.

Liu Runan tactfully made various promises.

"Brother Gui, this time my son has met with misfortune, and only you are willing to help. Now I truly understand what it means to have a good friend. After this matter is resolved, I will definitely put in a good word for the Sea Clan in front of the Star Lord, giving you more opportunities to come ashore and seek opportunities."

"In the future, we will continue to cooperate, sharing both glory and hardship. No matter how the overall situation changes, we will always be the best of friends!"

His words were full of promises, but none of them were concrete.

He painted a grand picture, truly a seasoned old fox.

Gui Shounian, even more experienced, smiled faintly and responded.

"Brother Liu, you're too kind. This is just a small effort on my part. I dare not claim any credit or ask for more. It was my honor to have met you back then, but I also know that we must prioritize the bigger picture. I wouldn't dare to hope for more opportunities."

"If our younger generation could just have seven or eight more immortal tokens in the future, I would be more than grateful."

The two old men smiled at each other, their minds calculating furiously. In their casual conversation, they had already exchanged several moves, evenly matched.

As for the upcoming battle, they were already confident and didn't mention it at all.

Listening to this profound conversation, the soul flame of Liu Changfeng, hidden in Liu Runan's sleeve, felt enlightened. At the same time, he felt an unprecedented confidence and anticipation for the upcoming opportunity to step into the Nirvana Realm.

After searching for a long time following the residual aura, the two finally stopped in mid-air.

Liu Changfeng also emerged from the sleeve.

The three of them faced each other in the air, their expressions turning serious. Even though they were confident of victory, they didn't let their guard down. At this level, they naturally wouldn't be foolish or careless.

When they made their move, it would be with full force!

Gui Shounian, who had been steady for countless years, understood this principle well. As he calmed his mind and prepared for battle, he quietly glanced at Liu Runan.

"Brother Liu, what exactly is the cultivation level of that scoundrel? What special abilities does he have that even you can't handle him alone?"

Liu Runan also wore a solemn expression, but his tone was much lighter.

"Brother Gui, there's no need to worry."

"That person was able to break through my Heaven-Sealing Formation, so he does have some cultivation. But as an outsider, no matter how talented he is, his resources are limited. At most, he's only at the peak of the Nirvana Realm."

"Facing such an opponent, I could barely manage to kill him alone, but capturing him alive would be a bit difficult. That's why I asked for your help."

Hearing this, Gui Shounian nodded, his face showing understanding.

"So that's how it is."

A peak Nirvana Realm cultivator was indeed a bit tricky, no wonder Liu Runan was willing to pay a considerable price. But with the two of them teaming up, it shouldn't be too difficult.

This level of cultivation was just perfect...

After pondering for a few moments, Gui Shounian smiled and looked over.

"Brother Liu, that being said, I am getting old. That person's cultivation is not weak. When we make our move later, I'm afraid my assistance might be limited..."

Seeing that insincere smile, Liu Runan knew exactly what the other was thinking.

At this point.

He had no other choice but to be manipulated by this old turtle. Gritting his teeth, he responded in a deep voice!

"Brother Gui, there's no need to decline. This person is definitely no match for the two of us. As long as you help me capture him, I will give you two more immortal tokens in the future!"

Liu Changfeng also grew anxious and quickly chimed in.

"Senior Gui, that person is indeed an outsider. Even if he's a bit stronger than expected, he's definitely no match for you and my father working together. I beg you to help us. I will be eternally grateful!"

With the added persuasion and the promise of benefits, Gui Shounian finally agreed.

"In that case, I will try my best, though I may be overestimating my abilities!"

"Where is that scoundrel now?"

Although there were some twists and turns, everything was within expectations.

The old turtle had agreed to help after all. Even though Liu Runan was somewhat dissatisfied, the thought of his son stepping into the Nirvana Realm filled him with excitement, feeling that it was worth the price.

He quickly followed the aura he had detected with his divine sense...

That person was on the ground in the desert, setting up a tent. Although he had moved to a different location, he still looked as carefree as ever, leisurely roasting fish. He was as arrogant as always.

Hehe...

Liu Runan couldn't help but smile and pointed.

"Brother Gui, look! That's the fool who doesn't know he's about to die!"

Liu Changfeng's soul flame also burned with excitement, as if seeing a delicious meal ready to be devoured!

"Yes, yes!"

"That's him! He's about to die and doesn't even realize it. This idiot, with all his cultivation, will soon be mine to use!"

Hearing the father and son's disdainful words, the old turtle also looked down with confidence.

But when he looked.

He was stunned!

It looked...

So familiar!

The human roasting fish in the desert looked more and more like the terrifying existence he had seen in the vast seas that day!

With just one glance, his terrifying memories were reignited. His heart suddenly tightened, and the smile on his face froze. He quickly focused his gaze to take a closer look!

The same delicate features, the same carefree expression.

And more strikingly, that rare giant snail!

Seeing all this, Gui Shounian's mouth fell open in shock!

"Gah!"

At this moment, he was absolutely certain. This was the terrifying Sword God he had witnessed that day!

Looking at the divine sword being used to roast fish, he felt a chill in his heart. Just the cold gleam of the sword made him feel the breath of death right before his eyes.

This wasn't just a bit stronger—it was on a completely different level!

To think they were about to fight this person...

This was asking for death!

Damn it!

With just one look, Gui Shounian's face changed drastically. He immediately tore through the void and fled into the distance!
