Since
Let's wait and see!
Nie Li now looked perfectly relaxed and leisurely. He took a sip of tea and said calmly, "The Sword of Ancestral Gods!"
Upon hearing Nie Li's words, both Nangong Xianyin and Xiu Ming's eyes went wide as they stared at him.
Was Nie Li joking?
Nie Li actually wanted a fragment of the Sword of Ancestral Gods!
The Sword of Ancestral Gods had been split into seven fragments, each held by the sect masters of seven great divine sects — the Feathered God Sect, the Celestial Sound Divine Sect, and others.
This was a holy artifact of an entire sect! Yet Nie Li had casually tossed out the request as if it were nothing, asking Nangong Xianyin for a fragment of the Sword of Ancestral Gods!
Xiu Ming was speechless. This guy Nie Li — had his brain been smashed by a door?
"A fragment of the Sword of Ancestral Gods?" Nangong Xianyin furrowed her brow slightly. If it were anyone else who had brought up a fragment of the Sword of Ancestral Gods to her, she would have decisively told them to get lost. But with Nie Li, she didn't want to offend him.
It was simple — because Nie Li possessed a potion that even she desperately coveted.
Although she absolutely would not give the fragment to Nie Li, Nangong Xianyin had no intention of kicking him out either.
"I wonder what Sect Master Nie wants with a fragment of the Sword of Ancestral Gods?" Nangong Xianyin couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing really — just for fun. The fragment of the Sword of Ancestral Gods sounds impressive and intimidating, but what it's actually useful for, Sect Master Nangong should know very well. Apart from being incredibly sharp, it's utterly useless. Isn't that right?" Nie Li said with a smile.
The God-Slaying Weapon, the Sword of Ancestral Gods, was indeed unfathomably powerful. But what Nangong Xianyin held was not the complete God-Slaying Weapon — merely a single fragment.
Though precious, it was meaningless.
"Although it may be useless, it is still an heirloom of the Celestial Sound Divine Sect," Nangong Xianyin said, shaking her head. "This item cannot simply be given to others."
"The Celestial Sound Divine Sect is a vast organization — heirlooms or no, you must have eight or nine thousand of them, if not ten thousand. I didn't come here expecting Sect Master Nangong to simply hand over a fragment of the Sword of Ancestral Gods. I certainly don't have that much clout," Nie Li said with a hearty laugh.
"I hope Sect Master Nie can understand," Nangong Xianyin said, her voice ethereal, like an immortal fairy untouched by the mortal world.
"Be that as it may, the fragment of the Sword of Ancestral Gods is nothing but a useless trinket in Sect Master Nangong's hands. Why not bring it out and trade it for something? That would be far more practical for the Celestial Sound Divine Sect," Nie Li said. "Right now, the
"Sect Master Nie, there is no need to say more. The Celestial Sound Divine Sect will not trade a fragment of the Sword of Ancestral Gods for anything," Nangong Xianyin said, her voice resolute and final.
"Sect Master Nangong, there's no rush to refuse just yet. The pills that Ning'er and Ziyun gave you before were merely elementary-grade. I happen to have a sacred medicine with a hundredfold potency…" Nie Li said, somewhat offhandedly.
Hearing Nie Li's words, Nangong Xianyin's heart shook violently. The pills that
Where on earth was Nie Li getting these pills?
As the sect master of the Celestial Sound Divine Sect, she couldn't very well press him on such private matters. Even if she asked, Nie Li probably wouldn't answer.
