Chapter 665 A Deal

Nothing in the ice river could be destroyed .

Even Seventh Tribulation Eminences couldn’t chip off a corner of the iceberg even when using all their strength . They couldn’t scoop away any of its water either .

One can’t obtain any treasures here, nor are there any cultivation opportunities . One can’t leave once they enter . Therefore, no factions occupy this place . Meng Chuan smiled . Essence Soul Tribulation Eminences could casually send an Essence Soul avatar to probe this place, but Physical Body Tribulation Eminences couldn’t do so .

I’ve broadened my horizons . Time to focus on cultivation .

Meng Chuan focused on walking through the nebula and carefully sensed the changes in the nebula’s void . His Essence Soul World spread out, and he used the spatial law’s profundities to resist the influence of the nebula’s void . He tried his best to walk toward the ice river .

1,500 kilometers, 1,400 kilometers, 1,350 kilometers…

He was getting closer and closer . Occasionally, he would fail and be teleported hundreds of billions of kilometers away, but Meng Chuan persisted .

Meng Chuan nodded slightly . This place suits me quite well .

The Ice River Nebula didn’t have a spatial law guiding it . It was just an array formation set up by a mysterious Eighth Tribulation Eminence to prevent outsiders from approaching . The array formation’s might was stronger in the vicinity of the ice river’s palace .

However, Meng Chuan had already accumulated a lot of insights . To him, he didn’t need guidance . He had enough guidance from the Void Catalog . Instead, he needed to crack the Nebula Array Formation so that he could familiarize himself with the use of the spatial law’s profundities . Meng Chuan’s understanding of the spatial law became

Meng Chuan focused on his cultivation . Meanwhile, on a Supreme Yin Star in the distant Square Razor-Clam River Zone .

There was a somewhat hidden cave abode here . The cave abode spanned half a million kilometers, and it was also protected by large array formations . Even a Fifth Tribulation Eminence would die if they entered by mistake .

In a corner of the cave abode was a large cluster of circular buildings . Each circular building spanned over 100 feet . These circular buildings were where the Imperial Lords lived .

An Imperial Lord lived in every building .

These Imperial Lords had different appearances . They came from different worlds and were of different species, but they now had a common identity-servants of Black Fiend Hall .

“There’s still 188 years left . ” In one of the circular buildings, a red-robed cultivator with a large head and a small body sat cross-legged . On his huge head, three eyes narrowed slightly . “I’ll be able to regain my freedom after serving Black Fiend Hall for 1,000 years . I only have 188 years left before I regain my freedom . ”

“Black Fiend Hall sure is greedy . I’m required to pay 200 Outer Realm Essence Crystals and still have to serve them for 1,000 years without any compensation . They won’t give us any benefits during these 1,000 years . However, they keep their promises . As long as we serve them loyally, they won’t take away my remaining treasures . ”

The red-robed cultivator was rather glad .

Black Fiend Hall was willing to give the Imperial Lords a way out during the massacres because they needed some minions to carry out their large-scale operations . Otherwise, many cultivators would flee from the bustling trading planets . Without enough subordinates, it would be difficult for them to set up enough array formations . Most cultivators would be able to escape .

By not taking away the Imperial Lord’s remaining treasures, this would give them hope . All of Black Fiend Hall’s members had to stick to this rule . Otherwise, the captured Imperial Lords wouldn’t be loyal to them . They would rather self-destruct and destroy their outer realm true bodies .

Some of Black Fiend Hall members also broke the rules and plundered all the treasures that the Imperial Lords had after they served for 1,000 years . It was fine if such matters could be kept completely confidential, but Black Fiend Hall would severely punish them once it was exposed . It would be difficult for them to do anything in the River of Spacetime . Therefore, Black Fiend Hall members would not break the rules without sufficient temptation and special reasons .

If it weren’t for the sake of protecting this treasure, why would I be willing to be a servant for 1,000 years? The red-robed cultivator sensed the treasure in his storage space .

It was a picture . It was also the greatest opportunity he received while roaming the outer realm . After obtaining the map, his strength improved greatly . He planned on returning to his homeworld with the map and placing the treasure there . However, he was too slow . With his strength, it would take him more than 300 years to cross several river systems and return to his homeworld . Halfway through his journey, he encountered Black Fiend Hall’s array formation . Black Fiend Hall had set up an inescapable net in the outer realm in the corresponding area in the River of Spacetime . He happened to barge in and became a captive .

All these years, I’ve never dared to use this treasure . Bear with it a little longer . The red-robed cultivator’s three eyes were extremely cold .

In the past, he had killed and plundered as he pleased . In his homeworld, he was the only Imperial Lord . Who knew that he would become a captive? He had had enough of these stifling days .

These Imperial Lord servants were putting up with it because Black Fiend Hall had given them hope .

Three figures sat in the garden in the middle of the cave abode .

“The owner of Changpo Planet traded with us and is willing to offer Changpo Planet . ”

“I never expected this old fellow to sell out the tens of thousands of cultivators on Changpo Planet when he’s nearing the end of his lifespan . I think he’s more suitable to join our Black Fiend Hall . ”

“He has zero worries when nearing the end of his lifespan . It’s normal for him to take the opportunity to earn a big sum of money . However, the tens of thousands of cultivators he’s selling out come from an Eternal Tower branch .

“However, the Eternal Tower branch can contact its headquarters . Once we attack or the old fellow on Changpo Planet hands things over, Eternal Tower’s headquarters will immediately receive news . We have to be certain that no Sixth Tribulation Eminence will rush over to stop us . ” “The owner of Changpo Planet offered it to us with both hands . Who’s going to be a busybody?” “Slaughtering tens of thousands of cultivators . This matter has to be reported . Only if the higher-ups agree can we do it . ”

“Black Fiend Hall has too many rules . ”

“Fool, the rules protect your life . ”

After a brief discussion, they quickly reported the matter .

Almost all Sixth and Seventh Tribulation Eminences were members of Nebula Palace . Be it good or evil, Nebula Palace didn’t reject anyone .

Black Fiend Hall members also occupied an area in Nebula Palace .

In one of the halls .

“There’s news from Square Razor-Clam River Zone . Cave Lord Changpo wants to sell the entire Changpo Planet to us, including the tens of thousands of cultivators on it . Check if it’s possible . ”

“There are eight Sixth Tribulation Eminences in the area around Square Razor-Clam River Zone . According to Eternal Tower’s standard operating procedures, they will inform these eight… The other seven are nothing . They are all Sixth Tribulation Eminences that have cultivated for many years . There’s no reason for them to not take action easily .

“We should be worried about a newly-advanced Sixth Tribulation Eminence, City Lord Eastcalm, instead . He has an Essence Soul avatar in Taidong River Zone . Taidong River Zone is close to Square Razor-Clam River Zone . Eternal Tower will likely issue him the mission . Not long ago, he attacked and killed one of our Black Fiend Hall teams . ”

“How many times has he stopped our Black Fiend Hall?”

“Just once . ”

The five Sixth Tribulation Eminences guarding the hall flipped through the intelligence . The purple-robed man found the relevant piece of intelligence and nodded . “Pass down the orders . We can accept this transaction . ”

“What if City Lord Eastcalm attacks again?” A gray-robed woman frowned .

“He has nothing to do with Ingenious Dharma Planet and Changpo Planet . For him to stop us twice in such a short period of time means that he has deep enmity towards our Black Fiend Hall . Furthermore, it would mean extreme boldness,” said the purple-robed man indifferently . “We should take action and teach this City Lord Eastcalm the rules . ”

The other members nodded .

Although Black Fiend Hall was infamous, they followed the rules . They typically wouldn’t attack a Sixth Tribulation Eminence’s faction directly .

Black Fiend Hall could tolerate Sixth Tribulation Eminences occasionally attacking to save a friendly faction . After all, they didn’t care if a few Fifth Tribulation Eminences died . However, if they had nothing to do with each other, Black Fiend Hall would bare its fangs when a Sixth Tribulation Eminence took the initiative to accept missions and repeatedly wrecked their plans .

“In my opinion, City Lord Eastcalm is very low-key in his intelligence records . He doesn’t

Eternal Tower’s and White Avian Hall’s missions . He probably won’t clash with our Black Fiend Hall twice in a short period of time,” said a withered grass lifeform with a smile . “Of course, it will be even more interesting if he takes action . ”
