I Am Overlord

t end up drawing out their backer..
At that time, things will be even more troublesome for the Illusionary Palm Society, ” said Xu Duo.
”Forget it.
We will no longer take part in this.
Just pay us two million mid-grade spirit crystals and five stalks of emperor medicines as compensation, and I will leave. ”

”What? Lord Xu, how can you act this way? ” Xing Yihui cried out in alarm.

”Lord Xu, if you leave just like this, the Dong Clan will most certainly go after your society for revenge in the future once they recover, ” said Tai Dou with an ashen expression.

If Xu Duo and his men left, they would become even weaker.
How were they supposed to continue fighting the Dong Clan? After all, the Dong Clan had two ninth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm experts and outside assistance.

”Hehe, well, if you are willing to submit to the Illusionary Palm Society, I can beg the society master to send help over and crush the Dong Clan, ” said Xu Duo, finally revealing his true intention.
”Don ’t worry about whether we would restrict you like the Dong Clan.
The Five Denseforest Cities will be under your control, and you only need to pay us 30 percent of what you make each year as tribute. ”

”This… ” Both Tai Dou and Xing Yihui hesitated, not knowing what to do.

”Think it over.
We will have to spend some time recuperating anyway.
But I advise that you don ’t drag it on too long.
The Dong Clan might come for revenge.
At that time, not even I can save you, ” said Xu Duo.

”Ok.
Three days.
We will give you an answer in three days, ” said Tai Dou.

…

Dong City.

Xiang Shaoyun and Dong Ziwan were taking a stroll.
Like old friends who had known each other for many years, they reminisced about their experience back at the Blackhill Town.

”I did not expect to see you again, and you have even saved me and my clan! I don ’t even know how I can repay you for that, ” lamented Dong Ziwan.

”If you want to repay me, you can be my bed warming maid, ” said Xiang Shaoyun teasingly.

”Dream on! ” Dong Ziwan glared at Xiang Shaoyun.
After a bit, she spoke again, ”Although the Tai and Xing Clans have been defeated, they might return.
Are you really not leaving for now? ”

”You are my friend, and I want you to be safe.
So yes, I will be staying for now, ” promised Xiang Shaoyun.

Dong Ziwan was moved, and she replied, ”Thank you, Shaoyun. ”

”Quit being so polite.
I guess we can say that fate has arranged for us to know each other.
After our eventual separation, I don ’t know when we will see each other again.
I hope we will at least have a beautiful memory of the time we spent together, ” said Xiang Shaoyun, a tinge of melancholy in his voice.

His tone also caused Dong Ziwan to suddenly feel melancholic.
Whenever she thought of how Xiang Shaoyun would leave eventually, she was filled with sorrow.

She couldn ’t resist asking, ”Where are you from, exactly? Won ’t we meet again after you leave? ”

”I am not from this province.
I come from a place very far away, and I have a mission I need to complete.
Although I am confident I will succeed, I don ’t know how long it will take.
But you are a friend I will forever remember, ” said Xiang Shaoyun solemnly.

Dong Ziwan was unable to restrain her emotions and jumped into his embrace.
Sobbing, she said, ”I don ’t want to part with you! ”

Xiang Shaoyun was completely at a loss as to what to do.
He had only said all that so Dong Ziwan would give up on him, but it seemed he had instead achieved the opposite result.

Instantly, a powerful aura suddenly soared from the Dong Clan estate.
A massive amount of spiritual energy and astral energy started converging within, pouring into one particular residence.

Even Xiang Shaoyun, who was currently outside the estate, could sense the surging energy.
He exclaimed in excitement, ”Big Brother Du is breaking through! ”
