The Supreme Dragon Emperor Chapter 80

Seeing them being awfully ill at ease, Shan Chengfeng couldn't help but lick his chops. These poor fellows' reactions pleased him to the brim. "While the Taoist climbs a foot, the devil climbs ten! I've long put together a foolproof plan! Now you're at your wits' end!"

Shan Chengfeng enjoyed their embarrassment with his nose in their air. After a while, he started to talk, slouching, "Patriarch Li, you're aware that people from the Danling Sect are businessmen. I shan't do a losing business with you. Now there are two approaches--you may either make up for the four gestation elixirs or hand over Lin Xiao to me."

Li Taixuan tried hard to hold back his tears. The four pellets were nowhere to be found, and handing over Lin Xiao was no different than placing him between a rock and a hard place.

Li Taixuan gazed

at Lin Xiao, he felt as if there had been flames scorching his face.

Li Taixuan, desperately cornered, blinked his eyes and gnashed his teeth. He decided to make a reference to Chi Yan the Great Master.

Nevertheless, hardly had he brought the matter up, Lin Xiao broke the ice abruptly, "Esteemed Taoist, we can give the gestation elixirs back to you."

It was rather simple, based on Shan's words, Lin Xiao envisaged the whole picture. Because he was culpable for all this, Li Taixuan shouldn't have been placed over the barrel.

As long as Lin Xiao could get the hold of the Hedao Fruit, it would be just a piece of cake to produce the Martial Law Gestation Elixir.

But what was commonplace for Lin Xiao rendered Li Taixuan utterly bewildered. Li knew too well there were no pellets of this kind at all in the Taixuan

Taixuan Sect. Now Lin Xiao gave his word flippantly and brought trouble again.

As everyone knew, the gestation elixirs were an exclusive property of Shan Chengfeng, unless...

Li Taixuan had a quiver running him through, "Does it mean Lin Xiao is tempted to put Shan to death?"

Shan Chengfeng hadn't come to terms with what he heard as well. It felt as if Lin Xiao was talking about cabbages rather than the priceless gestation elixirs.

Shan responded in a minute, haughty and aloof, "Hmm, you see the Martial Law Gestation Elixirs can't be found elsewhere. And now there was only one pellet on me, you would fall short by three if you kill me. Then what will you do next?"

"Just leave it to me. As long as you can stay here for a couple of days, I will surely present four gestation pellets to you. You have my

have my word," Lin Xiao said, jubilant and confident.

Lin's attitude brought a smile to Shan's face, "I'm not a guy of leisure. Very well, I shall allow you five days, and I will let it pass if you give them back to me during my stay here. Otherwise, you'd got to follow me to the Danling Sect."

"That's a deal!"

Shan laughed away and left, deeming it impossible that Lin Xiao could live up to his promise.

Li Taixuan followed Shan with his eyes with his eyebrows tightly knitted.

Conversely, Lin Xiao appeared rather detached, "Esteemed Patriarch, could you do me a favor and procure me a Hedao Fruit?"

Seeing Lin Xiao being strikingly composed, Li Taixuan had thought Lin might turn to Chi Yan for help. Now what Lin said struck Li dumb, his eyes opened widely, and his heart beat furiously.

"Hedao Fruit! Does that signal Lin's capability in Lin's capability in refining the Martial Law Gestation Elixirs?!"

"Holy lord!"

"Nothing could be more thrilling than that! If he could manage that, it means..." Li Taixuan thought to himself. He felt as if his heart was gonna dart out.

Lin Xiao called to get his attention, but Li Taixuan remained zoned-out, and the other seniors stayed in stupefaction. Lin Xiao shook his head and left. He only had the dead wolf's skin on him, and he hadn't cleaned himself for a few days. What he craved now was nothing but a cozy bath.

No sooner had Lin Xiao gone far, Li Taixuan followed up and made all arrangements for him with nothing said, cap in hand. Then Li hurried off as he came.

Lin Xiao didn't feel up to figuring Li out anyway. After a bath at his residence, he set eyes on the multi-colored spiritual radiant stone.
