Chapter 35: Taking Lifespan

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Li Xiandao sat straight and looked at the middle-aged man before asking, “What I find weird is that with Sect Leader cultivation, you should have 5,000 years; as a monster race, your lifespan should be much more, so how do you have just 3,000 years left?”

“Now, I understand. Your seven tails have been plucked and your foundations have been removed. You have no more hope.” Li Xiandao shook his head and sighed.

Even he had no choice!

The Bank of the Universe had very few things now and only the Primordial Divinity could save him.

But it wasn’t suitable for him. He was a fox demon who lost his foundations, and forcefully merging with him after he lost 3,000 years of lifespan would be the same as asking him to die!

The middle-aged man gave out a weak laugh, “I was the one who plucked the tails off myself.”

Li Xiandao’s brow frowned and he was confused.

Seven was too and said, “Why did you do that? You are a Fox Demon and the seven tails are like your life. I heard that peak Fox Race has nine tails and those who are a little weaker have seven. Although seven isn’t as noble as nine, it is still peak talent.”

He said softly, “My parents were normal people in the race, and after I was born, I realized I had seven tails, so the elders took me in and raised me. I was also sent into the Fox Race Shrine to be trained and developed.

Li Xiandao listened quietly.

Seven frowned.

He continued, “I was born a fox and enjoyed their protection for half my life. My parents are still living a great life there and those elders invested numerous resources in me, treating me as their hope for the next generation.”

Li Xiandao understood his problems.

On one side was love and the other side was brotherhood.

He laughed bitterly, “I was wrong to fall in love; I forgot my own duty and forgot about those who invested in me. I have no right to love someone.”

“Each person has a right to love others!” Seven corrected.

“Everyone has the right to love others. If today I love another person from a Monster Race, even if she is a human, as long as she isn’t a disciple from a huge power, the Fox Race would close one eye. But unfortunately, I loved the Hundred Flower Holy Land’s Goddess.” His expression became really gentle.

Hundred Flower Holy Land was a top power in Dali Land; they were deemed one of the three top holy lands along with Spirit Illusion Holy Land and Ten Thousand Buddha Holy Land. All of which had spread for over 100,000 years.

Spirit Illusion Holy Land was wiped out by Li Xiandao, but it was the weakest out of the three.

Hundred Flower Holy Land was much stronger than Spirit Illusion Holy Land!

Hundred Flower Holy Land took in all females, they didn’t allow their disciples to fall in love and if they did, they would be heavily punished!

Their current Goddess fell in love with the next leader of the Fox Race. This preposterous matter infuriated Hundred Flower Holy Land, so they chased him down and swore to kill him.

“Hundred Flower Holy Land wants to kill me and catch my wife, to send her into the Bitter Love Tower and lock her up for the rest of her life. My wife blocked them and was heavily injured. I have to save her. I destroyed her life, so I will use my own life to compensate for that!” The middle-aged man said firmly.

“If I compensate her, I would fail my race. So, I plucked my seven tails to give to the talented juniors of the race to compensate for their years of love and development. When I came here, I owed no one anything, so when I die, I don’t want to owe anyone anything!” The middle-aged man had his pride.

Li Xiandao kept silent. From the start, he said that this was a tough story, but now it sounded like a sad story.

Seven sighed helplessly.

“Seven, prepare the contract and let him sign it to save his wife and daughter!” Li Xiandao took in a deep breath and said.

The middle-aged man was really grateful, “Thank you, I am willing to pay 1,000 years of lifespan, so please take care of my wife and daughter. Please save them and do not leave them with injuries.”

Seven took the contract and said with shock, “Are you sure it is a girl?”

The guy nodded his head in satisfaction.

“Yes it is, I have thought of a name for her.”

“What’s her name?” Seven was curious as her eyes shone brightly.

“Wu Xian’er!” He gave out a loving smile as he had a deep closeness with the daughter he had never seen before.

“What is your name?” Li Xiandao asked.

“Wu Tianyu!” The middle-aged man replied.

“Sign your name, I will take your 3,000 years of life and you will die.” Li Xiandao passed it to him.

Wu Tianyu took a close look at the contract and ensured that there would be no problems. He decisively took up the pen and signed his name.

“Let’s go, my wife doesn’t have much time left, I have to save her. I will die and she will live!” Wu Tianyu said firmly.

Li Xiandao stood up and walked beside him. His long finger brushed across his face and he activated his power.

Weng weng weng!

Life force was being sucked out and split into three!

One was kept by Li Xiandao and placed in the Time Hall, while the other two were kept by Seven to be used to save Wu Tianyu’s wife.

Wu Tianyu’s body slowly turned ice-cold and death spread about. He had totally lost all life force.

He was dead!

He died so quietly!

Dying without any pain was all that Li Xiandao could do for him!

“Keep his corpse. I have a feeling in the near future it will be of help!” Li Xiandao was in deep thought.

Seven knew about Li Xiandao’s talent, so naturally, she listened and sealed his body in ice, placing it in the Time Hall.

“Master, will we go find Wu Tianyu’s wife?” Seven asked.

Li Xiandao nodded. He closed his eyes, tracked where Wu Tianyu had come from, and found his wife.

“Call Battle Angel, Archangel, and Tian Guangming to follow me!’ Li Xiandao took the 2,000 years of lifespan and said to Seven.

Seven went to call them right away.

Li Xiandao took off his mask and changed his dress. He wore white, looking really handsome and pure.

Apart from a noble person, who was worthy of wearing white?

In just a short while, Battle Angel Michael, Archangel Gabriel, and Tian Guangming rushed over in front of Li Xiandao.

“Envoy, where is Master?” Tian Guangming asked.

Li Xiandao said calmly, “I am bringing you all over. Master is resting.”

Archangel Gabriel didn’t care, anyway, he would just listen to orders.

Seven said, “This time, just listen to orders. The envoy knows the mission.”

Battle Angel Michael blinked. He was probably the only person here who knew Master’s true identity.

When merging with Battle Angel Michael, the original Michael saw Li Xiandao and Seven’s face clearly.

So after they merged, naturally, the current Battle Angel Michael knew.

But he didn’t say anything and just respectfully stood behind Li Xiandao. He followed him and exited the Bank of the Universe.

“Envoy, what mission are we on?” Tian Guangming asked curiously.
