"Kill myself?"
"Yeah, how could I not have thought of that."
The Ice River Giant Beast's clone smiled, "Damn it, it's just a head, I have plenty."
With that, the Ice River Giant Beast's clone went to a secluded corner, transformed into its Ice River persona as an Elf, conjured an ice sword in its right hand, and then struck its own neck, naturally avoiding vital spots.
Subsequently, the Elf Ice River's head appeared in its hand, which was then placed into a black cloth bag. If an outsider had witnessed this scene, they would surely be terrified.
Because a headless corpse was unhurriedly packing its own head.
Then, with the Ice River Giant Beast's clone's formidable healing ability, it regrew a head, identical to the one in the black bag.
"Damn it, the feeling of suicide was terrifying, so painful."
"But... it's worth it for 3,000 mid-grade Emperor Crystals!"
Following this, the Ice River Giant Beast's clone transformed back into a Three-Eyed Tribe expert, its peak sixth-tier Great Emperor aura surging around. It was acting so ostentatiously because it feared the Zhan Meng would renege on their deal. With its peak sixth-tier Great Emperor strength, they wouldn't dare to try and cheat.
Half an hour later.
At the Zhan Meng headquarters, the atmosphere was exceptionally tense. It was understandable; they had suffered immense humiliation today, so how could there be a good atmosphere?
"Is there someone in charge?"
A calm voice echoed from the Zhan Meng headquarters' entrance, followed by a surge of peak sixth-tier Great Emperor aura. The two first-tier Great Emperor guards of Zhan Meng swallowed nervously. Gods, such power! Only their Alliance Master could possibly suppress this individual.
"Esteemed Three-Eyed Tribe sir, may I ask what brings you here?"
Just then, a fourth-tier Great Emperor expert bowed respectfully, not daring to show any disrespect. If he knew that the Three-Eyed Tribe expert before him was the Ice River of the Elf race, whom they had heavily rewarded, what would his reaction be?
"Hmph~"
With that, the Ice River Giant Beast's clone tossed its Ice River persona's head over. "Didn't your Zhan Meng offer a reward of 3,000 mid-grade Emperor Crystals? I happen to be a little short on funds."
The fourth-tier Great Emperor expert caught the head, opened it, and exclaimed, "This is... the Ice cultivator genius Ice River of the Elf race."
"It is indeed his head!"
"Sir, I will inform the Vice Alliance Masters immediately!!"
In a short while, two individuals emerged from the depths of the Zhan Meng. These two were none other than Wei Qingtian and Zhan Yun.
Upon sensing that the Three-Eyed Tribe expert's aura was even stronger than theirs, they nervously swallowed. Clearly, they hadn't expected someone to actually kill Ice River, and so quickly at that. However, considering the individual's strength, they didn't dwell on it further.
"Please wait a moment, esteemed sir. 3,000 mid-grade Emperor Crystals will be brought to you shortly!!"
Zhan Yun immediately summoned the Zhan Meng's finance manager, and soon 3,000 mid-grade Emperor Crystals were presented to the Three-Eyed Tribe expert. Then, exchanging a glance with Wei Qingtian, they retrieved another spatial bag.
"Esteemed sir, this spatial bag contains 3,000 mid-grade Emperor Crystals, the reward from our Zhan Meng."
"Furthermore, this contains 2,000 mid-grade Emperor Crystals, which are a token of our Zhan Meng's gratitude for your assistance!!"
"Oh?"
"5,000 mid-grade Emperor Crystals. Your Zhan Meng is quite generous."
The Ice River Giant Beast's clone was momentarily stunned. This Zhan Meng seemed quite wealthy. Then, feigning arrogance, it said, "In that case, I won't take advantage of your Zhan Meng. If your Zhan Meng faces any crisis in the future, I will come to your aid."
After accepting the two spatial bags, the Ice River Giant Beast's clone vanished from the scene. Wei Qingtian and Zhan Yun, on the other hand, immediately displayed Ice River's head prominently in front of the Zhan Meng for all to see.
At the same time, this was also to salvage their Zhan Meng's reputation and prestige to the maximum extent.
Far from the Zhan Meng headquarters.
*Shua~*
A figure appeared in the area. This was none other than the Ice River Giant Beast's clone in its Three-Eyed Tribe persona.
"I never expected to become rich by accident."
The Ice River Giant Beast's clone licked its lips. "One clone can't possibly use all this money. Perhaps I'll give half to the main body when I reach the Qiong Cang Planet. I'm already at peak sixth-tier Great Emperor, while the main body is only at fifth-tier Great Emperor. It's truly a bit weak."
"I wonder if I'm the main body's opponent now."
The Ice River Giant Beast's clone licked its lips. "The Ice River Giant Beast is indeed a top-tier celestial beast. Its talent is monstrous. It would be hilarious if it left the main body a hundred thousand miles behind."
"However, now that things are settled, it's time to head to the Qiong Cang Planet."
Then, the Ice River Giant Beast's clone, in its Three-Eyed Tribe persona, conjured a king-grade spaceship and left the Planet of Sin, heading towards the Qiong Cang Planet. As for the Zhan Meng, in the near future, due to the Qiong Cang Planet's ranking competition, they would once again become a laughingstock among many planets.
Of course, that was a story for another time.
En route to the Qiong Cang Planet, on the spaceship.
The Ice River Giant Beast's clone took out over a thousand mid-grade Emperor Crystals. "This should be enough for saturation."
With that!
The Ice River Giant Beast's clone began to absorb the over a thousand mid-grade Emperor Crystals, and its strength slowly increased.
........
On the Atlantes Planet, while touring Atlantes with Luo Tianyi and the five little ones, a peculiar aura surged from the deepest part of his body. This energy was appearing for the first time, but his intuition told him that the Ice River Giant Beast's clone had become stronger, and this was a feedback to him as the main body.
Ye Xuan, who was at the fifth-tier Great Emperor realm, also successfully reached the peak of the fifth-tier Great Emperor under the influence of this energy, just one step away from the sixth-tier Great Emperor.
It could be said that in terms of strength alone, Ye Xuan was more than capable of crushing the Slaughter King!
"Good heavens, if the clone gets stronger, I also receive feedback. This ability is quite good."
Ye Xuan's lips curved into a smile. As expected, the system was on his side. Moreover, the Ice River Giant Beast's clone was just his first clone. There would be a second, a third, or even more in the future.
"Hey, have you heard? The Atlantes Planet auction house is holding an auction today!"
"Of course! I heard that the skeletal remains of a strong Elf from tens of thousands of years ago are being auctioned there."
"It's a pity that the Elf Planet has been conquered now. If they had that strong individual from tens of thousands of years ago, let alone the Star River Empire's eighth-tier Great Emperor, even the Star River Empire's Emperor wouldn't dare to act presumptuously."
"Tens of thousands of years... the Elf Planet has declined to a middle-tier planet. There are too many such examples."
The surrounding people chattered excitedly. Ye Xuan was momentarily stunned. The skeletal remains of an Elf ancestor from tens of thousands of years ago, and someone who seemed quite strong in life. If he could set up a clone from it, the scene...
"Ancestor of the Elf race!!"
Princess Mu Ling'er of the Elf Planet, upon hearing the surrounding discussions, pursed her lips and clenched her delicate fists. However, she then sighed, lamenting that their Elf Planet had fallen to the point where even their ancestors' remains were being auctioned.
Ye Xuan had clearly noticed Mu Ling'er's expression and smiled faintly, "Ling'er, are you interested in accompanying me to the Atlantes Auction House?"
