Chapter 19: Braving the Dragon's Den and the Tiger's Lair

The matter of luck is mysterious and profound. When countless energies descended upon Fu Jiu, Wei Zheng, Li Si, and others instantly felt that some kind of wonderful change had occurred in Fu Jiu.

They couldn't really explain what happened, but they felt that Fu Jiu was like a completely different person, becoming more elegant and charming than before, like a prince who had shed his beggar's clothes and was beginning to shine.

At this moment, Wei Zheng's eyes changed. Just now, when Fu Jiu reached out to grab the spiritual weapon, he was still thinking of watching a good show. But now he dared not think that way anymore. He even unconsciously thought, "Perhaps giving this spiritual weapon to him is the best choice."

"How could I have such a thought? Am I crazy?" Wei Zheng shook his head, putting these thoughts out of his mind, and turned his gaze to Fu Jiu in the arena.

Fu Jiu reached out a hand and grabbed the sword from the vermilion wooden box. Compared to his previous carefulness, this time his action was somewhat rough.

Fu Jiu didn't care. This sword had already injured him, so he couldn't just keep treating it like a precious treasure.

The Fish Intestine Sword in the wooden box trembled violently the moment it sensed the change in Fu Jiu's aura. Then, the blade quivered slightly, as if it was still hesitating.

In the selection of a master, besides the master having a taste for the creature, strong luck is also a major factor.

Strong fortune often represents more opportunities, and also means that these spiritual weapons have the potential to continue to evolve.

The evolution of spiritual weapons is extremely slow; the Fish Intestine Sword only transformed into a spiritual weapon after being nourished by thousands of years of luck.

If even the Fish Intestine Sword, one of the ten most famous swords in ancient China, suffered such a tragic fate, it's clear that there are many weapons that far suffered even more.

Therefore, choosing a suitable owner is imperative.

Human cultivators yearn to become stronger, and so do weapons. When spiritual weapons develop sentience, their desire to become stronger becomes even more intense.

The Fish Intestine Sword trembled a few times before finally stopping, resignedly held in Fu Jiu's hand.

Evolving spirit weapons is too difficult. If things continue like this, even after a thousand years, they won't change much. The only way to continue becoming stronger is to follow other living beings and seek opportunities together.

"Host, the Fish Intestine Sword has chosen to submit. The system will withdraw the fortune it has bestowed upon you. To prevent the Fish Intestine Sword from rebelling, the system has forcibly planted the restriction of 'Do not disobey the host' inside the Fish Intestine Sword."

"Since this kind of restriction will affect the evolution of the spirit weapon to a certain extent, the restriction will be automatically lifted when the host's strength reaches the fifth level. Please remember this."

"Hehe, this sword has been subdued by my brother, hasn't it? Pavilion Master Wei can't go back on his word." Li Si chuckled as he held the azure sword in his hand. The blue Illusion Crystal Sword had already fallen into his grasp.

"Brother Li Si is joking." Wei Zheng said with a forced smile, his face ashen, as he pondered how to take back what he had just said.

As for whether he'll be called shameless, humph, what's the big deal? Does Wei Zheng look like someone who cares about his reputation?

"Ahem, Brother Fu Jiu, this spirit weapon was acquired by our Dragon Slaying Pavilion at a considerable cost, you see..."

Want to back out? You're a seasoned veteran, turning your back on me in an instant, without a care for appearances.

Bai Qi had already raised his spear, and Li Si's face gradually turned gloomy.

Fu Jiu smiled instead: "Sect Leader Wei, what are you saying? This item originally belonged to the Dragon Slaying Pavilion. However, this mission to slay the Black Dragon was too dangerous, so we borrowed it for a while. I will definitely return it to you in person after the mission is completed!"

Fu Jiu planned to postpone things as long as possible, but he couldn't give up this spiritual weapon. With it, he was certain he could break through the black dragon's defenses.

"This..." Wei Zheng was slightly relieved, but there was still some hesitation on his face.

"If Pavilion Master Wei is still not at ease, I can personally carry out the task of slaying the Black Dragon!"

"No way!" Li Si jumped out as soon as Fu Jiu finished speaking.

This is no laughing matter. When a fourth-tier powerhouse like Black Dragon goes berserk, no number of people are enough for him to kill. His final counterattack can drag most of those who come with him to their deaths.

Fu Jiu said he would personally kill the Black Dragon. Putting aside whether he could succeed, the Black Dragon's counterattack before its death was enough to kill him ten times over.

Even Wei Zheng, a fourth-tier expert, found the Black Dragon troublesome, let alone Fu Jiu, a novice who had just entered the third tier.

Li Si would never agree to such conditions; he didn't want to watch his brother go to his death.

Li Si was not the only one shocked; Wei Zheng's gaze toward Fu Jiu also subtly changed.

"If this man doesn't die, he will surely achieve great things in the future!" Wei Zheng was shocked by Fu Jiu's decisiveness, as he had taken the initiative to accept a mission with a life-or-death stake in order to obtain the spiritual weapon.

On the other hand, he also knew that he probably couldn't get the spirit weapon back. Fu Jiu had already gone to this extent in order to kill the black dragon, so what else could he say?

Besides, it's still uncertain whether Fu Jiu will be able to return alive afterward, so thinking about confiscating someone's weapons now is just too domineering.

Fu Jiu's idea was exactly what he wanted. During the negotiations just now, the three of them did release some information about the dragon's weaknesses, but unfortunately, he was not knowledgeable enough to determine whether it was true or false. He could use Fu Jiu to test whether the black dragon's weaknesses were real or not.

He and the Black Dragon were mortal enemies. If no one stopped them during the fight, they would most likely end up both of them severely injured. If he could find out the Black Dragon's weakness, he could then suppress the Black Dragon and even kill it.

Wei Zheng laughed heartily: "Brother Fu Jiu is too kind. We will definitely lend you a hand when you slay the Black Dragon."

The implication of this statement is that he agreed to Fu Jiu's conditions.

Even though it's still unclear why Fu Jiu was willing to go to such lengths to kill the Black Dragon, everything was in the best interest of the Dragon Slaying Pavilion, making it absolutely impossible for Wei Zheng to escape.

The Black Dragon Society and the Dragon Slayer Pavilion have been at war for a long time, and many brothers on both sides have died at the hands of the other, so the hatred between them is immense.

Moreover, once the Black Dragon Society's territory is taken over, the Dragon Slayer Pavilion's power will definitely experience a rapid leap forward, and it's not impossible for it to even dominate the entire underground forces of Qingshui City.

Once they dominate the underground forces of the entire Qingshui City, why would they need to fear that scoundrel Li family?

"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you," Fu Jiu said with a smile, extending one hand.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you." Wei Zheng laughed heartily.

More than ten minutes later, Fu Jiu and the other two walked out of Longbao Mall.

"Honestly, why make such a request? It's dangerous, you know?" Li Si complained the whole way.

Fu Jiu gave a bitter smile: "I'm sorry, I have my own reasons. I will tell you everything after I kill the Black Dragon."

"Do as you please, it's none of my business. If you want to die, go by yourself, don't drag me down with you," Li Si said absentmindedly, his hands behind his head.

While saying this, Li Si was already secretly calculating the flaws in his plan.

Wei Zheng, that old scoundrel, is untrustworthy. He must make thorough preparations in advance. Only the handsome and intelligent Li Si can accomplish such an important task.

"I'm waiting for that day." Bai Qi's remarks remained scarce.

"Okay." Fu Jiu's smile was exceptionally bright.

Whether it was killing the fat fish or attacking the other two leaders of the Black Dragon Society, Bai Qi and Li Si stood by his side from beginning to end.

Even knowing they were venturing into a den of wolves, they still stood firmly by his side.

Unbeknownst to him, Fu Jiu had already owed them too much. Now, all he could do was to do his best to pass the trial and seize this heaven-defying opportunity of the Mythical Bureau of the Heavens.

Only in this way can the three of them have a chance to fulfill their vows and gain the qualification to ascend to the top of all the heavens and myriad realms!
