Chapter 1380: Negotiations

Shang Xia’s figure disappeared from the Star Ship, and those on board stared at each other with complicated emotions. Of course, no one dared to call out to stop Shang Xia from leaving.

Jing Hui seemed to sense their intentions and he forced a smile and comforted them, “Relax... The True Immortal will definitely return!”

Those who had been working hard the entire time didn’t say a word.

They managed to stop their ship in the chaotic space where they were as they were afraid Shang Xia wouldn’t be able to find them again.

They didn’t have to wait for long. A powerful burst of energy emerged from the chaotic streams in the distance like a powerful volcano and even the chaotic streams wouldn’t be able to hide the loud distorted rumbling.

Without a doubt, both sides came to blows.

The cultivators on board the Star Ship seemed pretty worried, but they also had a sense of anticipation.

All of them might not have seen Shang Xia in action personally, but they knew he had stopped the giant palm that contained Seventh Order energy. To be able to stop those strikes... His strength was evident.

On the other side of the chaotic stream where Shang Xia was, he didn’t expect there would be such a coincidence.

He looked at the large Star Ship that was rocking slowly through the chaotic streams and immediately identified it as the Spirit Ark the Twin Star Pirates possessed!

He recalled that when they first left the Wanyun Association to deal with the trouble, they had another Star Ship along with their disguised Spirit Ark. He wondered if they did the same thing as Zhang Shun when a powerful attack arrived where they sacrificed their Star Ship in order to protect the Spirit Ark.

The more he thought about it, the more possible it felt. As such, he rushed over to try to communicate with them to see if he could tag along as they left the streams of chaotic space to leave the Essence Ling Heavenly Field.

From their trajectory, Shang Xia could tell that the Twin Star Pirates knew of a way to leave. Moreover, if he wasn’t mistaken, their Stargazer was competent enough to not get lost.

Before he could reveal himself, the Twin Star Pirates seemed to have already detected his presence. They rushed out from the Spirit Ark at him before he could even say a word.

“Fellow True Immortals, please don’t...” Shang Xia wasn’t able to finish as they never intended to let him.

Both sides might be far from each other, and 2 streaks of light that were flying at Shang Xia might seem twisted in the streams of chaotic space, but the void around him started to fluctuate as though they had been directed by someone before the attacks fell at Shang Xia from all directions.

A frown appeared on Shang Xia’s face. He wasn’t able to notice what was happening because his divine soul wasn’t able to capture too much of what was happening around him, but to be able to use the streams of chaos to attack definitely gave them an edge.

Of course, it wasn’t as though Shang Xia was going to give up defending himself just because their offense was powerful. He was simply annoyed they attacked before they made sense of the situation.

Ignoring the spatial fluctuations and the random attacks coming from different directions, Shang Xia’s Stone Rod slapped straight at the 2 streaks of light that appeared initially.

He unleashed the third move of his Six Harmony Rod Technique, Void Emptiness!

He might be unable to clearly see who had rushed at them, but Shang Xia could tell that only the Twin Star Pirates had the capabilities to attack.

The Twin Star Pirates were famous experts in the Chaotic Sea of Stars, and their secret art allowed them to fight against experts stronger than them without losing.

Shang Xia wanted to experience their strength for real.

His sudden attack might have caught them off guard as they were unable to imagine how Shang Xia was able to ignore the streams of chaotic space to unleash a terrifying attack like he was planning to take them down with him in the first place.

However, they were no rookies. Their positions quickly changed as they flew at Shang Xia and by the time the rod arrived, it only managed to devour their afterimages.

Shang Xia’s rod technique was still tyrannical. It pierced the void, getting past the obstruction of chaotic space before crushing 2 figures that were created with the Twin Star Pirates’ secret art.

Naturally, such a huge conflict caused a massive disturbance.

Shang Xia raised his eyebrows and grunted softly in response, “Are you 2 injured?”

The Twin Star Pirates could rival a strong fifth tier True Immortal when they worked together. However, they couldn’t even take Shang Xia’s Void Emptiness which wasn’t even launched at full strength. Clearly, something was wrong.

Shang Xia knew what happened, and it seemed as though their injuries were even heavier than he had imagined.

After their secret art was broken, they knew that they weren’t Shang Xia’s opponent and they decided to retreat immediately. They ran back to their Spirit Ark and activated the protection formation.

With a protection barrier as their last line of defense, the Twin Star Pirates were finally willing to speak to Shang Xia.

“Fellow True Immortal, what is the meaning of this?!”

“We don’t have any enmity between us, right?”

Both of them spoke one after another.

They launched a surprise attack the moment they discovered Shang Xia, but after discovering they couldn’t kill him, they decided to negotiate.

Shang Xia snorted coldly in response. “Looks like you 2 already recognized me! I thought that you would be happy to meet someone you know. I didn’t think that you would try to kill me the moment we met!”

“Something changed during our journey and we became a little jittery. True Immortal Shang, please understand.”

“We are in the streams of chaotic space. For you to appear so suddenly, anyone would be alarmed. Moreover, you’re someone from the Wanyun Association. Back then...”

He wanted to continue, but he was stopped by something. It might be his fellow twin, or it was his conscience.

Shang Xia understood that they were probably afraid he was under orders from the Wanyun Association to kick them while they were down. After all, they abandoned their ally in their moment of need. They probably ran into serious trouble in the chaotic streams and were at their weakest. As such, they would react so intensely when they discovered Shang Xia. They wanted to take the initiative to break an arm of the Wanyun Association in case things got ugly.
