The moment Shen Tang saw that emerald-green seed, her breath caught—she’d been right; Fu Teng really was in Necro’s hands!
But she never imagined Fu Teng would end up in such a miserable state. Necro, who’d at least worked alongside him for years, was so ruthless he’d outright destroyed Fu Teng’s main body, leaving only a seed behind.
This was basically condemning Fu Teng’s half-century of cultivation to ruin.
From now on, he’d have to start cultivating all over again.
Necro watched Shen Tang’s shocked expression and grinned smugly, "He’s very useful to you, isn’t he?"
His tone was certain.
The fact that Fu Teng could cultivate more Purification Tree Seeds wasn’t a strict secret, but only a few insiders knew. Who would’ve thought Necro could guess even this!
Seeing Necro slowly clench his fist, as if about to crush the seed, Shen Tang broke out in a sweat, "Wait! Don’t!"
Necro reopened his palm, his smile growing nastier, "If you want it back, come and get it yourself."
When Lu Xiao and the others looked ready to intervene, he immediately tightened his fist, voice cold and harsh, "Otherwise, I’ll destroy it right now!"
The air froze instantly.
Shen Tang and the Beast Husbands halted, terrified Necro might actually go mad and smash the seed.
If the seed was destroyed, their Purification Tree plan would be finished.
That was a loss they simply couldn’t afford.
Shen Tang drew a deep breath and stared straight at him, "What do you want? Name your terms."
Necro locked his eyes on hers, still slouching with that arrogant flair. "I’ve made myself clear. If you want the seed, get it yourself."
He began counting unhurriedly, "I’ll count to three. If you don’t want it, I’ll... destroy it myself for you."
"You—"
"One."
Shen Tang’s breath faltered. She clenched her fists, face growing even paler.
Lu Xiao, Xiao Jin, Xue Yinzhou, Shen Li—their expressions all turned dark, energies pulsing but none daring to strike.
Given Necro’s grave injuries, they were confident they could take him down. But the seed’s importance kept their hands tied.
Necro saw their reactions and his grin widened.
"Two."
At the same time, he squeezed harder, crimson energy swirling around his fingertips, and the fragile seed looked like it could shatter at any moment.
Just as Necro was about to utter the final number, Shen Tang couldn’t hold back anymore, "Wait!"
Necro glanced at her, eyes deep. "Have you decided?"
Shen Tang met his gaze, then turned to her Beast Husbands. Necro might be about to collapse, but the Beast Husbands weren’t in much better shape.
All of them injured, resources depleted.
If the fight continued, it would only end with mutual destruction.
Going down together was the last thing she wanted.
Shen Tang took a deep breath, turned to Necro, and nodded, "Fine, I accept."
Lu Xiao, Xiao Jin, Shen Li, Xue Yinzhou—each face changed dramatically.
Even little Jia Lan rushed out of the space, wrapping herself around Shen Tang’s arm, "No! You can’t go!"
"Damn bastard, I’ll go kill him myself!" In the Divine Hall, Jia Lan’s true body couldn’t sit still, the Divine Servants scrambling to stop the High Priest from leaving.
"Priest, sir, you can’t leave!"
Some even clung to his legs, wailing, "If you go, what will we do?"
