Chapter 2052: Chapter 2052: Mastering the Dawn Bell

Seeing Senior Luoo nod in agreement without hesitation, Xiao Yi suddenly thought to himself that this was bad news.

His true intention was certainly not this Dawn Bell.

His every word was merely an excuse, intending to refuse and end the matter of the Vice Hall Token.

His plan was just to use the Dawn Bell to completely touch Senior Luoo’s bottom line.

Others might not know, but having entered the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb, Xiao Yi was of course aware of what this artifact is.

The Dawn Bell is almost the supreme treasure of ancient times.

Its owner was the Ancient First Emperor, the Ancient Emperor.

This is also the strongest treasure in the Ancient Emperor’s possession.

For Xiao Yi, the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit is naturally more crucial; but for Senior Luoo, the Dawn Bell is indeed his bottom line.

Xiao Yi never imagined that Senior Luoo would agree to this bottom line without hesitation?

How should he proceed with the matter?

"Is the Master of the Main Hall certain?" Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.

The slight, previously unnoticeable smile on Senior Luoo’s face grew a bit more pronounced, "Take the Vice Order, and leave with the Dawn Bell."

Senior Luoo’s straightforward words once again made Xiao Yi stay briefly stunned.

"Hold on." Xiao Yi furrowed his brows and spoke in a deep voice, "I dare not accept this Dawn Bell."

"Why?" Senior Luoo glanced at Xiao Yi, the indifference in his eyes clearly lessened quite a bit.

Xiao Yi’s eyes turned even colder, "Heh, the Master of the Main Hall’s temperament is always unpredictable and extremely domineering."

"Today you say you can give me this Dawn Bell, but tomorrow you might suddenly change your mind and not give it."

"Then, what should I do at that time?"

"Although the Dawn Bell is such a treasure, I’m not sure what it is, but it’s obviously invaluable."

"If by then the Master of the Main Hall decides to kill and reclaim the treasure, my life would be at risk."

"Hence, I won’t take this bell, nor dare to accept the Vice Order either, farewell."

Xiao Yi’s words carried a cold tone mixed with sarcasm and mockery.

As the words fell, Xiao Yi turned and left.

"Hold on." Senior Luoo’s face first turned anxious, then darkened, "Are you afraid I’ll go back on my word?"

"In your eyes, am I such a fickle, untrustworthy person..."

These words were uttered unconsciously by Senior Luoo with a grim expression.

But before he finished talking, Senior Luoo’s voice already stalled.

Xiao Yi’s mocking gaze reminded him of certain events.

It was precisely the previous matter of the reversal regarding the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit.

However, the previous reversal wasn’t just a reversal for the sake of reversal; it had another purpose.

But he didn’t realize it at the time.

Now, he indeed realized it, but his expression darkened even more.

Senior Luoo did not explain anything, but moved his steps to the Dawn Bell.

In his hand, he performed a series of seals.

Buzz... buzz... buzz...

The Dawn Bell buzzed continuously.

That buzzing sound seemed to have a spirit, much like a sound of mournful reluctance.

A moment later, Senior Luoo retracted his hand.

And the Dawn Bell had become an ownerless item.

"It’s done." Senior Luoo turned around and said in a deep voice, "I’ve removed my imprint from the Dawn Bell."

"Next, inject your own aura and imprint into the Dawn Bell, and you’ll be able to control it."

"The Dawn Bell is not a mundane item but an ancient treasure."

"Once you have control of it, no one outside can forcibly take it, even if I want to go back on my word, I cannot reclaim it."

"This..." Xiao Yi’s mocking demeanor instantly vanished.

Replacing it was a trace of shock and doubt.

In his impression, the always assertive and domineering Senior Luoo actually backed down to this extent?

His cold taunts didn’t cause Senior Luoo to alter his decision in the slightest, instead, Senior Luoo chose directly to remove his control imprint from the Dawn Bell?

Xiao Yi clenched his teeth, stepping forward.

He took off those white gloves from his hand, revealing hands grotesque like rotten flesh.

The hand was placed on the Dawn Bell.

Xiao Yi marked it with his aura and imprint, his heart obviously connecting with the Dawn Bell.

This meant that the Dawn Bell now belonged to him.

"Are you reassured now? Satisfied?" Senior Luoo asked softly.

Xiao Yi subconsciously nodded, collected the Dawn Bell along with the Vice Hall Token from the table, and turned to leave.

"Hold on." Senior Luoo called out to Xiao Yi once again.

"Is there anything else, Master of the Main Hall?" Xiao Yi asked with a furrowed brow.

Senior Luoo furrowed his brows too, "Are you not going to ask about the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit?"

Xiao Yi shook his head, "The Master of the Main Hall giving me this Dawn Bell is merely part of a deal for me to accept the Vice Hall Token."

"As for the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit, if I’m not mistaken, even if I asked, the Master of the Main Hall wouldn’t give it."

Senior Luoo nodded, his indifferent face showing no sign of concern, instead revealing satisfaction.

"Smart."

"The Ten Thousand Poison Fruit, I indeed won’t give it to you."

"To be precise, I won’t give it to you now."

"Oh?" Xiao Yi halted his steps, slightly puzzled.

Senior Luoo spoke in a deep voice, "I will still let you enter the Land of Ten Thousand Poisons."

"The Ten Thousand Poison Fruit inside, I will eventually give it to you."

"But not now."

Senior Luoo paused, seriously staring at Xiao Yi, "With Heavenly Mechanism’s keen perception, surely I must have said something to him, which he’s told you completely."

"Surely he must have mentioned that I said your life doesn’t have long."

Xiao Yi nodded solemnly, but remained silent.

Senior Luoo continued in a deep voice, "Even if I gave you the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit now, it would be useless."

"Are you certain, Master of the Main Hall?" Xiao Yi asked with a furrowed brow.

In fact, although he feels no goodwill towards Senior Luoo, he’s never doubted Senior Luoo’s strength and skills.

Senior Luoo has perceived his body and is aware of its condition.

Of course, Xiao Yi is also more than clear about this body of his.

But regarding the judgment of the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit, he thinks Senior Luoo should be more accurate in a few points.

"Certain." Senior Luoo nodded solemnly, "I once stated that only you can save yourself."

"That still applies now."

"I can give you the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit, but the time is not yet ripe."

"You should understand what I mean."

Xiao Yi nodded, "I understand."

Senior Luoo spoke in a deep voice, "Then make the most of the time."

"Since I have designated you the successor, there will be no mishaps or surprises here with me."

"Next, it’s up to your abilities."

"Hmm." Xiao Yi nodded solemnly.

Regarding how long this body of his can endure, he naturally would not act with any imprudence.

Their dialogue was actually somewhat inexplicable, even making one feel at a loss.

Yet, both of them understood clearly in their hearts.

"Thank you." Xiao Yi glanced at Senior Luoo, sincerely thanking him, then without pausing, left the room of the Master of the Main Hall.

Behind him, Senior Luoo nodded frequently, looking at Xiao Yi’s cold and proud back with increasing satisfaction.
