Xian Miaomiao said something to Xiao Mo before leaving, which made Luo Xiang and Luo Chuan’s faces turn as pained as if they had eaten feces.
Xian Miaomiao was, after all, an Immortal King who controlled the power of destiny. For ordinary humans, she was also a deity.
Although Xiao Mo had lifted the restriction within Luo Xiang, Xian Miaomiao directly controlled the thread of destiny for Luo Xiang's family.
As long as she held the thread of destiny, if Luo Xiang dared to make any moves in the future, she could directly take away those with familial blood relations to Luo Xiang through the thread of destiny.
Therefore, although Xiao Mo had lifted the restriction within Luo Xiang,
Xian Miaomiao’s move was equivalent to placing a restriction on Luo Xiang’s entire family.
It was no wonder that Luo Xiang and Luo Chuan felt that life was worse than death upon learning of this situation.
Both Luo Xiang and Luo Chuan’s faces were deathly pale.
Especially Luo Xiang, who had just been reveling in the joy of the restriction being lifted, was almost scared to death by the even more explosive news the next moment.
Now, even those in his family who shared his bloodline could not escape!
This time, it was truly a losing business!
Luo Xiang did not doubt Xiao Mo’s words, as this was the power of a deity.
The abilities of deities had always been unfathomable. It was probably not strange for them to take someone’s head from a thousand miles away.
It sounded exaggerated, but for deities, these should be considered normal operations!
“Your Majesty the King, this…”
Luo Xiang looked at Xiao Mo with a dejected expression, his heart churning with a billion thoughts, but he dared not show any of it on his face.
Xiao Mo naturally understood what Luo Xiang was thinking at this moment.
He smiled faintly and said, “Don’t worry, and don’t be afraid. As long as we cooperate sincerely, no one will be harmed. I promise you!”
Hearing this, Luo Xiang paused but still managed a bitter smile, saying, “But, this transaction has nothing to do with my clansmen!”
“Don’t worry, this is just a precautionary measure on my part!”
Xiao Mo curled the corners of his mouth, his eyes looking playfully.
He was not a fool, and of course, he would not hand over such a large shipment to the Royal Merchant Guild without any precautions.
If there were no safeguards, and he were to be cheated, it would be a huge loss.
Although Mu Ya had placed a restriction on Luo Xiang previously, it could only restrain Luo Xiang, and had no effect on other members of the guild.
If the high-ranking officials of the guild were to abandon Luo Xiang for such a large shipment, even if Xiao Mo dealt with Luo Xiang, it would be useless.
This was why Xiao Mo had asked Xian Miaomiao to use the law of destiny.
Only in this way could the absolute safety of this batch of goods be guaranteed.
After all, if there were any problems with this batch of goods, everyone in the entire guild who was related to Luo Xiang would be instantly wiped out.
This was a precautionary measure and also a deterrent to the Royal Merchant Guild.
He believed that after returning to the Sacred Imperial Empire, Luo Xiang would have a good talk with his father.
As long as the cooperation was pleasant, both parties could win. The high-ranking officials of the Merchant Guild and even the royal family would know how to choose.
Finally, Luo Xiang and Luo Chuan led the caravan away dejectedly.
So many precious goods had been taken away by them. These goods would definitely make them rich, but they couldn’t be happy at all.
They had thought that having the restriction on their bodies removed was a good thing, but now their lives, along with the lives of most of the guild members, were all in the hands of a deity from the Immortal Demon Kingdom.
How could they have the mood to celebrate?
After returning to the Merchant Guild,
Luo Xiang immediately went to see his guild leader father, Luo You.
“Father!”
Luo Xiang acted very respectfully in front of his father, Luo You, appearing more like a subordinate.
Luo You also leaned back on his study chair with a calm expression and asked with a frown, “Didn’t you go to the Immortal Demon territory in the Endless Abyss? Why are you back so soon?”
“Reporting to Father, I have completed the transaction mission!”
Luo Xiang bowed slightly and said respectfully, “And the restriction within my body has also been lifted!”
Luo You merely grunted softly, his attitude appearing somewhat indifferent.
Luo Xiang was already accustomed to his father’s attitude.
After all, his father was a peak Saint-level expert who had lived for nearly a thousand years, only half a step away from entering the Divine level. He was just one of his father’s many children.
With his aptitude, he was only in the middle to lower ranks among his siblings, and his future achievements would not be significant, so he was naturally dispensable!
Luo Xiang placed over a dozen spatial equipment in front of Luo You: “Father, these are the goods I brought back from the Immortal Demon Kingdom. Please inspect them!”
“Immortal Demon Kingdom? Wasn’t it an Immortal Demon territory?”
Luo You’s brows, which had been lowered, twitched slightly upon hearing Luo Xiang’s words.
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiang quickly bowed respectfully and replied, “The lord of that territory back then has developed his territory into an Immortal Demon Kingdom!”
“Now, it is a true kingdom-level power!”
Hearing this, a hint of surprise finally appeared on Luo You’s face.
The development speed of the Immortal Demon territory was terrifying, even he was greatly shocked.
However, as the president of the Merchant Guild and also a businessman, his primary concern was still the goods.
He released his spiritual power and quickly examined all the spatial equipment.
The next moment, his breathing became rapid, and he even jumped up from his chair.
He appeared incredibly excited.
“So many goods, these are all top-quality!”
Luo You said excitedly, “Xiang’er, you have done a great job this time! With these goods, our Royal Merchant Guild will be able to shine brightly in the imperial business world!”
“Thank you for your praise, Father!”
Luo Xiang said, “However, this time the lord still wants Immortal Demon Stones and Soul Crystals!”
Hearing this,
Luo You’s expression couldn’t help but darken.
He pondered whether he could directly embezzle these goods.
After all, the trader was a lord from a territorial power, and they were mortal enemies with their native forces.
Therefore, even if he embezzled them, he would not be punished by the empire.
The only problem was that it would affect their guild’s credibility, but as long as it wasn’t leaked, that would be fine, wouldn’t it?
The more Luo You thought about it, the more excited he became.
Luo Xiang, seeing his father Luo You remain silent, with glints flashing in his eyes, immediately knew what he was thinking.
“Father, I saw several deities in the Immortal Demon Kingdom!”
It was clear that Luo Xiang wanted to persuade his father.
However, Luo You did not appreciate it at all, his expression showing disdain.
“Deities? Doesn’t my empire have deities? Our empire has countless Divine-level experts. Do you think I’m afraid of a newly established kingdom-level power?”
“Father…”
Luo Xiang thought for a moment and finally said in a low voice, “In the Immortal Demon Kingdom, there is a deity who controls the law of destiny. My strength is insufficient, and I don’t understand what the law of destiny can do.”
“But His Majesty the King said that even if you are millions of miles away, he can still erase you!”
“What!”
Luo You suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with dread.
“Are you sure it’s a deity who controls the law of destiny?”
“Yes!”
Luo Xiang asked, “Father, what is the law of destiny? Is it very powerful?”
“It… it’s not a matter of being powerful or not!”
As he spoke, Luo Xiang clearly saw his father’s face turn green.
As a peak Saint-level expert, although he couldn’t control the law of destiny, it didn’t mean he hadn’t heard of it.
The law of destiny could not be said to be the most powerful law, but it could be called the most mysterious law.
As far as he knew, deities who controlled the law of destiny could directly erase enemies from millions of miles away through the thread of destiny.
This kind of erasure was not simply a killing but a complete annihilation.
Even deities could not resurrect beings who had been erased by the law of destiny.
This was the most terrifying thing!
Luo You also knew that in ancient times, a goddess of destiny had appeared. With the powerful force of the law of destiny, she had erased countless evil gods from other worlds, and even the leaders of evil gods had been slaughtered by her in large numbers.
“To think that there is a deity of destiny in that territorial power! It’s better not to offend them…”
Luo You looked at the spatial equipment in front of him with regret.
