Chapter 2927: Unfavorable Transaction

“Almost forgot about something, you still owe me for devouring one darkness for you three, saving you all a lot of trouble . ” Li Qiye brought something else up .

“True, but isn’t it extremely nutritious for you too?” The old man admitted .

“Got anything else like it? If yes, then the negotiation will be very easy . In fact, I’ll do it free of charge . ” Li Qiye smiled .

“No idea . If we could bring something like that to you, the present day wouldn’t be messy like this . ” The old man smiled wryly .

“Looks like you’re not very reliable . ” Li Qiye narrowed his eyes: “There’s something I don’t understand . There is no world tougher than Three Immortals, so why are these things showing up? I wouldn’t be surprised to see them in the nine worlds but here? It’s impossible unless you all courted death . ”

“Unfortunately, that was indeed the case . ” The old man had a bitter expression: “Yes, we brought this on ourselves . We were simply curious but didn’t expect evil to sneak in . ”

“You couldn't find it in the ocean . ” Li Qiye said .

“Right, everything happened so quickly and caught us off guard . An explosion sent us away . We barely suppressed one side but I’m sure some still made it in . ” The old man said .

“Hence the phrase - one might be able to survive an act of god, but no one can survive a self-brought calamity . ” Li Qiye smiled: “You have been living too peacefully and decided to mess it all up . Three Immortals is a blessed world allowing its inhabitants to escape so many tribulations and total destruction . Now, they all know that there is a fat piece of meat right below and are salivating . You think they’ll just let it go?” 

“That’s why we need to patch it up, waiting for you to deliver . ” The old man said .

One misstep nearly ruined everything . Though they managed to stop it, evil entities still snuck in and became seeds of discord .  [1]

“You know that it is on the move . ” Li Qiye chuckled .  [2]

“It is hiding too well . It has never stopped though, still scheming in the darkness and affecting many . ” The old man helplessly said: “When you devoured its kin, the thing became restless and nervous, thinking that we have found reinforcement . That’s why it’s on the move now, not that it’s a bad thing . ”

“Right, you guys haven’t been able to find it so this could be a good opportunity . You’re using Three Immortals as the bait though . ” Li Qiye smiled .

“As long as the sky moat is around, it can only stare and not eat . ” The old man said with confidence .

“Who knows? What if future generations are worthless? I believe in your power but unfortunately, the world can’t handle it, pierced into a billion holes . ”

“We had no choice but to resort to this plan . ” The old man said: “It is a source of problems as long as it is around . It is extremely evil, even more frightening than the one you devoured . It had poisoned many despite our constant vigilance . If we let up for a single second, all inhabitants will be done for . ”

“So that’s where I come in with the delivery . ” Li Qiye smiled: “You want to use me to bait it out then we’ll mount a joint attack from all sides to destroy it . ”

“It’s a good opportunity for you too since you want to go to the ocean anyway . Take advantage of this to train, isn’t it good to have such a strong opponent?” The old man calmly admitted .

“You think too highly of me . First, I don’t have that much time to waste and second, you three have been searching for so long to no avail . How am I going to bait it out so quickly? It’s impossible . In my opinion, stay even more cautious . This might be a bait in an attempt to divert your attention . What if it appears out of nowhere and catches you off guard, killing one of you in the process?”

“Perhaps . ” The old man nodded: “We can’t judge it using conventional wisdom . Prudence is necessary . Hmm, this might just be a scouting attempt too . ”

“Well, all of this has nothing to do with me . ” Li Qiye said: “I will deliver the goods since the ocean is indeed a good place to train . It’s time for me to take the next step anyway . However, I won’t stop here and waste time with you all and will be leaving after this matter . ”

Meanwhile, Bai Jinning has been resting her chin on her hands, listening to the whole thing . They spoke the same language as hers but she didn’t understand anything .

However, she felt as if they were up above the clouds while she was an ant on the ground .

“For the expedition?” The old man asked .

“That’s something worth musing over if I can take the next step . ” Li Qiye said: “It just depends on the situation . ”

“Ah, you still haven’t made up your mind . Have you thought about the situation after an expedition?” The old man said .

“Did you think it through back then?” Li Qiye asked .

“We’re not like you and have different goals . Moreover, we’re lucky enough to have Three Immortals . I won’t deny your abilities but even in the case of victory, have you thought carefully about what comes next?” The old man said .

“The thing I want is very simple . ” He chuckled .

“I believe you . ” The old man nodded: “But I also know that you’re not as free as you like to think . You can’t abandon your world and that’s your biggest shackle . Otherwise, you wouldn’t be trying so hard to gather items and consolidate more power . It’s definitely for yourself but more so, your world . ”

“There is no savior but guardians do exist!” The old man looked straight at Li Qiye: “Where are the guardians for your world when you are gone? Most importantly, if heaven were to break after your final battle, the result is quite grim for a world without defenders . That’s why you haven’t made up your mind . I’m sure you have an outline in mind but it’s not time yet . Taking the next step for you might not mean starting the expedition right away . ”

“That’s why you want to borrow my power . ” Li Qiye chuckled .

“I do want to see you take the next step . You have been accumulating for a long time now . Plus, no other place is more suitable to do so than this ocean . If you really want to do it, then do it there! Is that why you’re coming?”

“Yes . ” Li Qiye didn’t deny his plan .

“Just hang around the ocean for a bit . It’s best if we work together because our side is lacking manpower . ” The old man invited .

“This is where our styles are different . ” Li Qiye shook his head: “What was on your mind when you were standing at the very edge?”

“The truth is… we didn’t win back then . ” The old man smiled: “The consequences were heavier than our imagination so we stopped . ”

“So your preparation was inadequate; your heart unprepared . ” Li Qiye chuckled .

The old man looked at him and said: “You are the strangest man we’ve met . Despite your unwillingness, you will really do it, not giving a damn about anything . Your heart is colder than any overlord . But, it looks like you still can’t drop it so you rather pull the entire world up . ”

“Why not? Where I go is where my world shall be, in my heart . ” Li Qiye smiled: “That’s why, don’t question my determination . I will fight the final battle without looking back!”

“Yes . ” The old man sighed: “Though we didn’t win, we still had a chance but ultimately decided to turn back . ”

“We’re just different . ” Li Qiye added: “In my opinion, offense is the best defense . If anyone dares to cross my line, I will take the fight to their nest . It is that simple . ”

“I got it . ” The old man nodded: “Once you have a substitution method in place, that’s when your expedition will start . ”

“The villainous heaven and I… perhaps we can co-exist, not one of us must die . However, all of those fiends, they must die!” Li Qiye’s eyes became all-piercing after declaring this .  [3]

Bai Jinning lost control of her body and felt chills all over the moment she saw this gaze .

1 . I don’t know if it is plural or singular for evil entities . In such cases, I always assume plural 

2 . From this, it is singular but I don’t want to change the plural above just in case there are more 

3 . The word for fiend here is hard to translate without more context . It can be monsters, ghosts, evil creatures, damned things . These are all good choices but the only way to translate correctly is if I know what they are . From the context so far, they’re probably evil immortals . Fiends seemed like an okay choice
