Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 477 Refusal to Trade

After everyone sat down, Rorschach and Betty began to enjoy the food.

Only Yaqin remained vigilant, watching Chang Ning and Wuzidan of the Black Crow Society warily, showing no appetite whatsoever.

Seeing Luo Xia enjoying the food, Lord Balun laughed and joined in eating and drinking.

At the scene, only Chang Ning and Wu Zidan from the Black Crow Society, as well as Ya Qin, were not in the mood to eat or drink.

While drinking wine and enjoying delicious food, Rorschach and Lord Baron began to chat.

Most of the time, it was Luo Xia who inquired about the situation in Moyun City from Lord Balun. Since Luo Xia had no conflict with him, Lord Balun did not want to make an enemy of an Eternal True God whose abilities were unknown, so he answered Luo Xia's questions without reservation.

Chang Ning and Wu Zidan looked at Luo Xia and Lord Balun, who seemed to have a harmonious relationship, and couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances.

It took about two hours before Rorschach and Bedy stopped eating and drinking.

Luo Xia looked at Lord Baron and asked, "I wonder what brings Lord Baron here today?"

Lord Balun leaned back in his chair, shook his head and chuckled, then pointed at Chang Ning and Wuzidan, "It's not that I'm looking for Lord Sun Wukong, but rather them..."

Luo Xia looked at Chang Ning and Wu Zidan.

Feeling Luo Xia's gaze, Wuzdan immediately stood up and respectfully said, "Your Excellency, the Black Raven Society wishes to make a deal with you?"

"A trade?" Rorschach looked at Wuzdan with great interest. "What do you want to trade with us?"

Wuzidan glanced at Duanmu Qingya sitting next to Luo Xia, then continued respectfully, "We hope to trade a Chaos Token with the Supreme One in exchange for an Eternal True God-level treasure!"

Their pursuit of Duanmu Qingya was solely for the purpose of obtaining the Chaos Token.

When they first learned that Duanmu Qingya had obtained the Chaos Token, the Black Crows considered making a deal with her.

But Duanmu Qingya did not agree.

Since the deal didn't go through, the Black Crow Society had no choice but to seize it by force.

If we can obtain the Chaos Tokens through trading without needing to fight, that would naturally be the best option.

Upon hearing this, Yaqin couldn't help but exclaim, "Divine Lord..."

Luo Xia slightly raised his hand, gesturing for Ya Qin to be quiet, then looked at Wu Zidan, "You want the Chaos Token? Isn't that thing useless?"

He was testing the waters...

To test whether the Black Crow Society knew that the Chaos Dojo was about to reappear.

"The Chaos Token is indeed an ordinary token with little use, but our guild leader likes to collect these ancient and mysterious objects, so even if it is useless, our guild leader is willing to exchange it for a supreme treasure of the Eternal True God level."

Wuzdan was telling lies that even he himself didn't quite believe.

Rorschach, of course, didn't believe it either.

If the reason the Black Raven Society is searching for the Chaos Token is truly as Wuzdan claims, then the Black Raven Society is incredibly wasteful.

However, there was one thing that Rorschach figured out.

The news that the Chaos Dojo was about to reappear had not yet spread throughout the Origin Continent—at least not in Moyun City.

What confirmed Rorschach's suspicions was not Wuzdan's words, but Baron's reaction.

If the news of the imminent reappearance of the Chaos Dojo spread, then Lord Balun wouldn't be sitting so leisurely in his chair, looking like an outsider who doesn't care about anything.

The Chaos Dojo is said to hold a secret that can surpass even the God King.

If Lord Balun knew that the Chaos Dojo was about to reappear, he would definitely be restless.

Having confirmed this, Luo Xia felt slightly relieved.

The secret of the Chaos Dojo involves information above the God King realm. If it really gets out, it won't be a good thing for him.

That makes sense, since there is no virtual universe like the primordial universe on this continent of origin, it would be very difficult to spread information quickly.

Only those powerful beings in closely spaced small universes can quickly share information.

Having figured out the information he wanted, Luo Xia didn't want to waste time with the Black Crow Society and said:

"Enough with the nonsense. I won't be trading the Chaos Tokens you want!"

Wu Zidan and Chang Ning were taken aback.

I didn't expect Rorschach to refuse so decisively!

In their minds, the Chaos Token was useless, its value far less than that of an Eternal True God-level treasure. If it weren't for the guild leader's insistence, they wouldn't have wanted to hunt down Duanmu Qingya and make a deal with Luo Xia.

"Your Excellency, would you please reconsider?" Wuzdan looked at Luo Xia. "The treasure we're offering in this trade is of the level of an Eternal True God!"

"Don't even mention Eternal True God level treasures; even if you offered me God-King level treasures in exchange, I wouldn't agree. That's all for now. Thank you for your hospitality, Lord Baron. Farewell!"

As Luo Xia spoke, he ignored Wu Zidan and Chang Ning, whose faces had darkened, and got up to leave the private room.

Yaqin excitedly followed Luo Xia.

She was very uneasy when she entered the private room because she didn't know how Luo Xia would handle his relationship with the Black Crow Society.

If Luo Xia really agrees to the Black Crow Society's request for a deal, then her last glimmer of hope will be completely extinguished.

Fortunately... Rorschach did not agree.

This made Yaqin very excited and happy—her trust had not been betrayed, and her hopes had not been dashed by Luo Xia!

"My Lord, will Black Crow give up so easily?"

As they stepped out of the private room, Yaqin spoke to Luo Xia telepathically.

Luo Xia smiled, completely unconcerned. "Don't be afraid of them. Even if their president comes in person, there's nothing to fear!"

These confident words gave Yaqin, who had been constantly being hunted, a strange sense of security.

She didn't say anything more, but simply followed closely behind Luo Xia.

Now, Rorschach is her last hope...

Inside the private room.

Looking at Chang Ning and Wu Zidan, whose faces were gloomy, Lord Balun asked with some curiosity and doubt, "Why is that Sovereign so obsessed with the Chaos Token?"

Upon hearing this, Wuzdan gave a wry smile. How did they know?

That Chaos Token is clearly useless.

The so-called "Chaos Dojo" has long since become a legend in the Origin Continent.

Information about the Chaos Dojo is probably only found in relatively detailed records by the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom and the Leiting Ancient Kingdom.

As for other places... the records of the Chaos Dojo are all like legends, with only a few words.

Whether there is a secret beyond the God-King... is simply unverifiable.

But the guild leader insisted on obtaining the Chaos Token that Duanmu Qingya had obtained from the ruins... As his subordinates, all they could do was try their best.

After all, it's impossible...

Wuzdan shuddered at the thought of what might happen to him in the future.

Lord Balun did not get the answer he wanted.

After accepting the thanks from Chang Ning and Wu Zidan, he left Fanxing Tower ahead of time, as he still needed to process the Purple Frost Immortal Lotus he had just obtained.
