Chapter 787: Liu Yu Feels Ashamed to Receive This!
With her back turned to Liu Yu, upon hearing the ominous words, Ink Plum's delicate body shivered, a barely noticeable tremor coursing through her.
There was no other reason; the phrase "Friend, please stay" held special significance in the cultivation world.
Generally, it is said right before turning hostile or before making a move.
"What does Qingyang mean by this?!"
"Could it be that..."
In a flash of intuition, True Lord Ink Plum had a thought. At this moment, an unsettling premonition arose in her heart, sensing that the other party might strike at any moment.
She clearly realized that her various means were limited now, and her strength had significantly declined.
The two had no grievances against each other, and Qingyang was young yet possessed such strength.
He responded with a smile.
He firmly suppressed the brutality within and maintained rationality in his eyes.
"Just the formula for the Flying Immortal Pill might not be enough."
Standing at the top of the Tian Nan cultivation world, he possessed the strength to withstand all winds and sail through storms!
With Ink Plum's strength and influence, even if something unexpected happened in the end, Liu Yu was confident he could handle it calmly.
After a moment of silence, she collected her emotions and said with a "sincere" expression:
If she handed over the formulas just like that, it would undoubtedly violate the will of her ancestors.
For the sake of her safety, Ink Plum forced herself to endure her reluctance and took out several fourth-tier formulas all at once.
"If something happens to me, those two junior brothers won't be able to stop the Mystic Ice Palace from swallowing us."
After all, the strength of their Primordial Spirits was not much different; although Liu Yu had some advantages, it wasn't enough to crush them.
Thus, she thought it was better to secure the "minimum safety" first.
However, after completing the recording, she showed no intention of immediately handing them over.
Hearing this, Ink Plum's heart swelled with joy, and she loosened her grip on the four jade slips, controlling them to fly towards him.
"The reason Qingyang is here is fundamentally to obtain the fourth-tier formulas."
"After all, at this moment, due to previous agreements, everyone has already offended the Mystic Ice Palace and shares a common enemy."
Regardless, under Nangong Tian's arrangements, she had achieved her goal of survival.
"If the other party is indeed willing to hand over the formulas, there may not be a need to resort to violence."
"With things as they are, maintaining a good relationship with Qingyang might not be a bad choice."
A thought flashed through her mind.
Ink Plum forced a smile, then took out a Blank Jade Slip to record the formula for the Flying Immortal Pill.
Fourth-tier formulas were obscure and difficult to understand; even with his near-master level of expertise, he took over a dozen breaths to initially confirm the authenticity of the four formulas.
Not far away, as Ink Plum was flying, she felt a bit dazed, a sense of longing surfacing after escaping the crisis.
"In the future, if there are troubles, Ink Plum will not hesitate to speak up."
A few miles away, Ink Plum saw the massive azure silhouette vanish, and her body finally relaxed.
What with repaying life-saving grace, light gifts with heavy sentiments, every excuse was used, fearing the other party would refuse to accept.
"Fourth-tier formulas are extremely precious, but what does that matter?!"
"Though fourth-tier formulas are indeed precious, they are no more important than my life."
Various thoughts flashed through Liu Yu's mind, and upon reaching this point, the killing intent within him gradually receded.
He then seemingly inadvertently withdrew the "Qingyang Nebula."
"Moreover, I have had quite a bit of dealings with your esteemed sect's Heavenly Wind friend, which means I have some prior connections."
After all, his goal had always been the formulas; killing was merely a means to achieve that.
