The black-robed man stood to the side. When he heard Qinchuan telling Ao Feng and Zhao Deng that they still had a chance to live, his expression suddenly became extremely ugly. Now that Qinchuan was already in prison, he still wanted to live. He really didn't take him seriously!
"Qinchuan, now that you've seen them, shouldn't you hand over the rune stone?"
The black-robed man looked at Qinchuan with gloomy eyes. "You'd better not play any tricks with me. Once you anger me, the consequences are definitely not what you want to see!"
Qinchuan turned his head to look at the black-robed man and replied, "I can give you the rune stone, but you have to release the two of them first and let them leave Snow City!"
Hearing Qinchuan's words, the black-robed man immediately said angrily, "Do you think you are qualified to negotiate with me?!"
Qinchuan smiled and said to the black-robed man, "I'm not negotiating with you. You clearly said before that as long as I hand over the rune stone, you will let the two of them go and won't do anything to the people close to me. I'm just following what you said. Is there anything wrong with that?"
When the black-robed man heard Qinchuan's words, he was so depressed that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He really didn't expect that Qinchuan would actually use his previous words to deal with him!
"Okay, I can let them go!
However, if you still refuse to hand over the talisman stone after they leave, I will definitely kill everyone around you and make you suffer so much that you will wish you were dead! "
The black-robed man snorted coldly and said to the two subordinates guarding Ao Feng and Zhao Deng, "Untie them, prepare a spaceship for them and send them out of Snow City!"
When the subordinates heard the black-robed man's words, they immediately acted. They untied Ao Feng and Zhao Deng and unsealed the spiritual power in their bodies.
Ao Feng and Zhao Deng faced all this with extremely complicated feelings, so complicated that they didn't know what to say at all.
"Qinchuan, you …"
Ao Feng looked at Qinchuan with extremely moved eyes. He really didn't expect that in such a desperate situation, Qinchuan would still want to rescue them and send them out of this dangerous place!
As a friend, Qinchuan really did everything he could!
On the other hand, they were almost tempted by the black-robed man to betray Qinchuan. Now that they thought about it, they really felt ashamed!
Zhao Deng's mood was also extremely complicated. As a cultivator in the Apotheosis Stage, he had lived in this world for nearly a thousand years. In the past, he had always interacted with other people because of benefits...... this was the first time he truly tasted friendship!
"Don't look at me like that..."
Qinchuan chuckled and said to the two, "You didn't betray me, and I also won't abandon you. This is fair."
The black-robed man might not know much about Qinchuan, but Ao Feng and Zhao Deng had a very deep understanding of Qinchuan. If Ao Feng and Zhao Deng had betrayed Qinchuan, then the black-robed man's subordinates should have directly said Zuo Sisi or even Lü Zi's name when they threatened Qinchuan!
Five days. Ao Feng and Zhao Deng were able to resist the black-robed man's threats for five days without betraying him. This was enough to gain his approval!
Hearing Qinchuan's words, Ao Feng and Zhao Deng felt even more ashamed in their hearts. This was because they knew very well that they had almost betrayed Qinchuan. They didn't persist until the end like Qinchuan thought!
"Alright, stop putting on a show of brotherly love in front of me. Let's go!"
The black-robed man looked at Qinchuan and the other two with disdain in his eyes. In his opinion, the path of cultivation was destined to be lonely. No one could accompany anyone all the way. In the end, everyone could only rely on themselves. Friendship, love, and even family were extremely cheap and meaningless!
Odysseus betrayed his own father in order to get the rune stone. This was a very good example!
"Let's go." Qinchuan said to Ao Feng and Zhao Deng, "Let's leave this place."
Ao Feng and Zhao Deng gave Qinchuan one last deep look, then turned and walked out. They boarded the spaceship that the black-robed man had prepared for them. After a thorough inspection to ensure that there were no problems, they piloted the spaceship and flew into outer space.
"The two of them left so quickly. Don't you regret it?" The black-robed man looked at Qinchuan and sneered, "Shouldn't true friends share weal and woe together?"
"There's no point in them staying."
Qinchuan said lightly, "You, on the other hand, don't try to drive a wedge between us. I won't fall for it."
"Alright, now that they're gone, you can hand over the rune stone!"
The black-robed man said in a deep voice, "You'd better not mention any more conditions to me. Letting the two of them go is my last tolerance for you!"
Qinchuan looked at the black-robed man and replied, "Don't worry. When their spaceship leaves Snow City and your sphere of influence, I will definitely tell you where the rune stone is."
The black-robed man snorted and did not speak anymore. He had already come this far, so he was not short of time. As long as Qinchuan was in his hands, the rune stone would still be under his control. It was the same whether he got it sooner or later!
About an hour later, news came from outer space. The spaceship that Ao Feng and Zhao Deng were on had successfully left Snow City and entered deep into the universe.
After receiving this news, the black-robed man was about to ask Qinchuan for the rune stone when a subordinate hurried over. It seemed that the subordinate had something important to report!
"Reporting to the emissary, our people found a … King of Sacred Armor in the snow mountain!"
Hearing the subordinate's report, the black-robed man was slightly stunned. He immediately said in a deep voice, "Are your eyes playing tricks on you?
How could there be a King of Sacred Armor in such a place! "
"We thought so too at first, so I specially brought back the life signature of the creature suspected to be the King of Sacred Armor. Please identify it, emissary!"
While speaking, the subordinate projected the image of a fist-sized golden beetle in front of the black-robed man. This beetle looked no different from a human, and it looked very simple and cute.
After seeing the beetle's image in the projection, the black-robed man's expression changed greatly. He was 100% sure that this was a King of Sacred Armor. There was no mistake!
"It's really a King of Sacred Armor!
And it's so big! "
The black-robed man was shocked. He also had a King of Sacred Armor, but his King of Sacred Armor was only the size of a thumb. Compared to the King of Sacred Armor in the projection, it was almost ten times smaller!
"Could it be that this is a King of Sacred Armor of a senior of the Sacred Clan?
But how did the King of Sacred Armor end up here? "
The black-robed man was full of doubts, but he did not think that this King of Sacred Armor had anything to do with Qinchuan. This was because he did not think that an outsider like Qinchuan could cultivate such a mature King of Sacred Armor!
