Chapter 843: Chapter 841: Ignite (15) Chapter 843: Chapter 841: Ignite (15) At that moment, murderous intent surged.

“Your honesty is admirable, so what is the purpose of doing this?”

It was clear that they hadn’t expected Fu Qian to be so openly honest, admitting outright that he was the one who had tipped them off.

After exchanging glances, it was Aike who finally asked the question.

“It’s simple.”

Fu Qian smiled mysteriously.

“I am also an outsider.”

…

Fu Qian once again made a shocking statement, and although he tried hard to conceal it, Aike’s gaze still flickered, and he even subconsciously looked towards Xiumeng.

They had already discussed the worst-case scenario.

“A Demigod called Andiel, I must say the name sounds unfamiliar.”

Xiumeng’s expression was relatively normal as he sized up Fu Qian’s face.

“You mentioned earlier that you came here for ‘fire’?”

“Yes, I am tasked by someone to find a special kind of fire here.”

Fu Qian showed full sincerity in his communication.

“But you also informed them about the presence of outsiders? Isn’t this behavior somewhat illogical?”

Stoss, who had been silent until now, spoke directly, pointing out the contradiction in Fu Qian’s statement.

Compared to Xiumeng, this one’s personality was obviously more straightforward.

“Does this benefit you in any way? Or are you thinking of using them to eliminate competitors?”

“How could that be, that’s too vile!”

Fu Qian waved his hands repeatedly in denial.

“I have always interacted on the basis of friendly exchange, including the disclosure of your information, which was indeed to demonstrate this sincerity.”

“…This guy is spouting nonsense, there’s no need to waste time talking to him, just kill him already.”

The surrounding air seemed to heat up, as Stoss, clearly hot-tempered, immediately suggested they take action.

“Where is the sincerity? You clearly could have chosen a more reasonable way to communicate.”

Xiumeng did not respond to Stoss’s suggestion, but after a moment, he spoke.

“I did choose it!”

Fu Qian looked surprised.

“Wasn’t I waiting for you by the carriage?”

“The result was you guys started attacking without saying a word, I’d have been killed had I been any slower.”

…

“Have you been tracking us all along?”

As expected of a High-Order Super, after a brief silence, Aike, showing no remorse for the earlier accusation, thought of another point first.

“I’ve said I have no malice.”

Fu Qian neither confirmed nor denied but hinted that he indeed had everything under control.

“I was tasked to look for traces of fire here, but initially had no clue.”

“Your appearance was quite a surprise.”

“Prepared and decisive, and even seemingly having a detailed plan, the most important–”
Fu Qian pointed at the three of them.

“You have something akin to traces of flames on you.”

“Unfortunately, when I took the chance to reveal myself, the first thing I found was that I was considered prey here.”

“You didn’t even have the interest to hear me out for a bit longer, and it took a great deal to escape before I had to switch to another method of communication.”

“So, you spread the word after that?”

Aike seemed to understand, feeling indescribable.

No wonder everything seemed normal at first, but later visibly grew tense.

“Yes, I found some potential targets of yours, used a special way to communicate to give them an idea of this hunt, actually, it was really not necessary to go through such trouble.”

“So you’re saying, this is still our fault?”

Aike almost wanted to roll his eyes.

“Not really; I understand that it’s normal to be tense in such an operation.”

“Only considering the much more dangerous consequences of showing up again, after much deliberation, I resorted to this last measure.”

“Difficult situations can often promote communication, can’t they? If the situation hadn’t suddenly changed, you probably wouldn’t have thought of talking to me, right?”

Fu Qian looked as if it were only natural.

“As for the second encounter, in this special circumstance, you began to really pay attention to the information I brought, instead of treating me as prey to be killed.”

…

Faced with this earnest fabrication, Aike was momentarily speechless, unable to help but look at his two companions.

“Yes, considering our common predicament, do you have any suggestions?”

Stoss took over the conversation, smiling wryly as he looked at Fu Qian.

“It’s simple–cooperation, acting together as temporary allies.”

Fu Qian seemed to have anticipated this answer.

“You will eliminate an uncontrollable risk and gain a Demigod Level ally.”

“On one hand, it strengthens the force facing you directly, and on the other hand, it allows you to effectively prevent any trouble I might cause under your supervision.”

He really dared say it!

Aike was dumbfounded.

First, sabotage someone else’s plans, then turn around and propose to advance or retreat together?

Where did he learn this thug logic?

“…What makes you think we can trust you as a reliable ally?”

Xiumong looked pragmatic, not pursuing too much, and directly asked the next question.

“My alliance is unreliable, purely for mutual benefit, I want to know more about the fire.”

Fu Qian kept shaking his head, frighteningly honest.

“Just compared to giving up the action directly, enduring a bit of unreliability is obviously an easier choice, isn’t it?”

“After all, it’s just your word, how do we know you’re not deceiving us?”

“Like maybe you’re not an outsider at all and could lead us into a trap any moment.”

Before Aike finished speaking, he noticed an elegantly shaped broken claw in Fu Qian’s hand.

That item was clearly not ordinary, as one could feel the power contained in it just by looking.

“This comes from a lady named Akasha, we got along very well, and she even gave me this voluntarily.”

Fu Qian played with the broken claw.

“This is a treatment not just anyone would receive.”

…

The silent Xiumong exchanged glances with Stoss, finally nodding slowly.

“It sounds… indeed worth considering.”

During the conversation, he even spread his hand on the table, showing the winding traces on it.

“But let’s make things clear, on one hand, I’m not sure this is what you’re looking for, and on the other hand, we won’t share any of the gains with you.”

“Understood, giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him to fish, what I care about is just the method to obtain the fire.”

Fu Qian did not mind, closely inspecting those special traces.

“So what’s the essence of this thing?”

“You can see it as the manifestation of death, by collecting the death trails of Divine Beings, one can condense this kind of fire.”

Xiumong explained succinctly.

Death sparks of Divine Beings?

Stranger than imagined, but at least there was some clue now.

“Is this why, your targets are at least Demigods?”

Fu Qian calmly counter-questioned but was quite pleased internally.

The long struggle had finally not been in vain.
