Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up

Chapter 684 - 587: Zhao Yi’s Resolve

"I will personally catch the strange fish. Old sir, can you tell me what else I need to prepare? I’ll bring everything next time."

Zhao Yi’s tone was firm, and his serious expression left Bai Yigui stunned.

"Are you really going? You must know that the Cosmic Origin not only has the unfathomable Guai River but also beasts guarding the place, and it will present illusions. More importantly, your Power of Laws is useless there!"

"Old sir, have you been there? Otherwise, how do you know so much?" the Nine Dragon Jade Seal asked curiously.

Bai Yigui blushed slightly with embarrassment and said, "Back then, I wanted to get a Divine Weapon. I planned to catch some fish, but I got scared by a powerful force as soon as I reached the edge of the place."

Bai Yigui made himself out to be very insignificant, but Zhao Yi couldn’t be fooled. He knew Bai Yigui must have delved deep into the origin, or he wouldn’t have known so much detail.

"Ah! By the way, you asked me what to prepare just now. I’m telling you now, you need five million taels of Gold!"

"Five million! You old geezer, are you crazy about money?" the Nine Dragon Jade Seal roared.

Zhao Yi was also surprised by why so much was needed.

"Three million is for this time, two million is compensation for last time. You can’t be thinking the last incident can be brushed aside just like that!"

Bai Yigui was extremely arrogant, with a ’take it or leave it’ attitude, while Zhao Yi agreed without hesitation. For the New World, five million taels of Gold wasn’t a big issue.

However, Bai Yigui pushed his limits, demanding Zhao Yi bring all the money within three days!

"Old man, if you keep this up, I won’t be so polite!" the Nine Dragon Jade Seal angrily revealed itself as a dragon, aiming its large mouth directly at Bai Yigui’s beloved landscape painting.

"Oh no! Zhao Yi! If you let this guy ruin my things, I’ll die for you on the spot!"

Facing the nonsense-talking Bai Yigui and the rogue Nine Dragon Jade Seal, Zhao Yi felt utterly exhausted.

What have I been doing all day!

"I promise you, I’ll get you the money in three days!" Zhao Yi said without another word, grabbing the Nine Dragon Jade Seal and disappearing, leaving the room back in peace.

When Zhao Yi appeared in the palace, Linglong was throwing a fit.

"You damned bunch, how could you let such an important matter become like this!"

The roar echoed in the palace, and the powerful wind generated by Linglong’s anger distorted Zhao Yi’s face.

"Your Majesty!" Linglong hastily saluted as the other cultivator officials breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they were doomed to be scolded. Now with the king present, that wouldn’t happen.

"Carry on. We’ll talk later," Zhao Yi slipped away with a smile, leaving the puzzled cultivators to continue enduring the scolding.

The palace calmed down after a full quarter-hour, and when everyone came out, they found Zhao Yi standing by the door, hastening their salutes and departures.

"Your Majesty, I didn’t mean it.""That’s your business. Handle it yourself. I came to you for money."

Zhao Yi recounted everything that happened, making Linglong feel a wave of awe.

"So Miss Zuo is still in the main character’s hands?"

"Yes, but the weapon is in my hand, so he probably won’t act rashly! Let’s talk about the money!"

"The current world is using money everywhere. Pulling out so much at once is indeed difficult. Give me a day!"

With the guarantee, Zhao Yi didn’t say more.

The next day, a very tired Linglong handed Zhao Yi a mountain of Gold. Zhao Yi patted Linglong’s shoulder and took the money to see Bai Yigui.

"Old man, this is real Gold, solid as can be!" the Nine Dragon Jade Seal said angrily.

Bai Yigui ignored him and directly pushed Zhao Yi out, coldly saying as he left, "If you die, there’s no refund!"

Zhao Yi smiled, preparing to set off.

"Damn! I seem to have forgotten something important!"

"Master, should we beat up Bai Yigui?"

"Do you know where the Cosmic Origin is?"

Even the Nine Dragon Jade Seal was stumped, because he didn’t know either!

The two had no choice but to knock on the door again. Upon hearing Zhao Yi’s question, Bai Yigui looked at them with an eye of disdain, drawing directions to the Source of the Cosmic on the ground.

With thanks, they set off!

One day, two days, three days!

It took ten days for Zhao Yi to finish his flight. The long journey through the Dark Cosmos left him mentally exhausted.

"This should be the place!"

Looking at the rainbow ahead, a trace of a smile appeared on Zhao Yi’s face.

After a brief rest, Zhao Yi headed directly toward the rainbow as directed by Bai Yigui. As light flickered, Zhao Yi opened his eyes again to an astonishing scene.

A dim sky, an endless Gobi Desert with black stones rolling on it, was strewn with bones and swarmed with strange birds.

"Is this hell or the origin?"

Zhao Yi could hardly believe it. The Cosmic Origin should have been a beautiful paradise in his mind.

"Master, haven’t you heard that the origin of anything is full of bloodshed, slaughter, and filth? The Cosmos is no exception!"

"That makes sense. Let’s go!"

Zhao Yi slowly landed on the ground, the cold wind biting against him. The Nine Dragon Jade Seal enveloped Zhao Yi in a protective purple aura as they moved forward.

On the other side of the cosmos.

The Nether Tree gradually awoke, looking at the Dark Cosmos, then summoned the main character.

Since the era of forbidden weapons, the main character had felt sluggish and weak, hence always stayed in the Forbidden Law Realm to restore his strength.

The Nether Tree’s unannounced summons annoyed him, but faced with Nether Tree’s benefits, he could only choose to endure.

"Zhao Yi has already headed to the Cosmic Origin, intending to increase the Power of Laws to deal with you. Head there immediately and find an opportunity to kill him!"

"Most of my power has been taken, and without the weapon by my side, I’m afraid I won’t be able to win!" the main character’s words were filled with resentment.

A short sword coalesced in front of the main character.

"Take this wooden sword. It’s formed from my own power and can penetrate Zhao Yi’s defenses. Inside the origin, Zhao Yi can’t use his Power of Laws. You’ll undoubtedly succeed from the shadows!"

The Nether Tree’s words rekindled the main character’s spirit.

"Thank you, Nether Tree! But could I take the clone with me? That way, our odds would be better."

"The clone’s Power of Laws cannot function within the origin, so going would be useless. They can only wish you luck."

Reluctant, the main character left.

"This useless guy won’t last much longer. How is his Law Realm now?"

Clone Two said: "It’s continuing to grow stronger, Master. What do you plan to do?"

"Keep an eye on the Law Realm and create a new ruler when necessary!"

The Nether Tree’s words indicated a thought of abandoning the main character.

The clones remained indifferent, loyal only to the Nether Tree. To them, the main character was merely a tool.

And it was only right to abandon and destroy an unusable tool.

The advancing main character suddenly felt a chill and panic in his heart.

"I haven’t been fooling around lately, so why’s my body so weak!"
