Chapter 1834 - Daylight Robbery (1/2)

In an instant, plenty of thoughts flooded Zhang Ruochen’s mind.

But, there was one thing he could not figure out.

Since the Demonic Blood Ax Engraving Print was used to fish out Xie Canghai, why did Jiang Yunchong chose not to deal with Xie Canghai directly, and instead took a liking to the G.o.dslayer Cross s.h.i.+eld instead?

Could it be…

The settler was not Tianjue Pavilion at all, and was someone else?

Zhang Ruochen had a lot of questions in his mind, but he could not immediately ask, for fear of being eavesdropped by Mister G.o.dcliff’s powerful spiritual powers. Now, he could only choose to trust Jiang Yunchong.

From the private room on the west side of the fifth floor, rays of brilliant lights radiated out of it and enveloped the G.o.dslayer Cross s.h.i.+eld.

Immediately after, the G.o.dslayer Cross s.h.i.+eld turned into a light spot, and was taken away.

“What a powerful move, it seems like the seller is also a very terrifying powerhouse,” Zhang Ruochen said to himself.

A storage bag flew out the western private room on the fifth floor, and fell into Jiang Yunchong’s hands.

“Pavilion Master Jiang, good doing business with you. When I have treasures next time, this old one will still bring them to Tianjue Pavilion for the auction.”

The voice was rather hoa.r.s.e, and became more and more distant. It was clear that the mysterious seller of the Demonic Blood Ax Engraving Print had left Tianjue Pavilion.

Jueyan Hu wanted to pursue, but was stopped by Mister G.o.dcliff.

Mister G.o.dcliff looked on solemnly. “You are not his match.”

“The G.o.dslayer Cross s.h.i.+eld is an ancestor weapon of the Immortal Vampires, and is extremely powerful. Once there was a G.o.d that nailed to death on it, how could we let this treasure slip us by?”

Jueyan Hu recognized the origins of the G.o.dslayer Cross s.h.i.+eld, and a strong greed grew in his heart.

Mister G.o.dcliff said, “The most important thing now, is to take over the Eastern Region Saint King Manor. At this juncture, there is no need to create any other enemies.”

Jueyan Hu was extremely reluctant, but he finally nodded.

“The value of the Demonic Blood Ax Engraving is probably far above the G.o.dslayer Cross s.h.i.+eld. Is it really necessary to let the guy who claims that he is the disciple of Yanshen take it?” the Drifter said with a smile.

“We will leave this matter to Xie Canghai to deal with himself. If he could not even secure a single Demonic Blood Ax Engraving, then I would have to wonder if his capabilities is sufficient to deal with the matter that he will be tasked to do,” Mr G.o.dcliff said calmly with a strategizing demeanor.

Xie Canghai approached Zhang Ruochen and once again tried to negotiate with him.

“Your Highness, name your price, what does it take for you to let the Demonic Blood Ax Engraving go?” Xie Canghai said.

Zhang Ruochen was worried about raising Xie Canghai’s suspicions, so he did not immediately change his att.i.tude. He still wore that contemptuous look and said. “I’m not really lacking in anything.”

Xie Canghai thought for a bit before he said, “It seems like Your Highness is rather interested in the Tears of the Void?”

Zhang Ruochen was about to push the door and enter the private room as he heard that. His movements slowed down, and he said, “I am a little interested.”

Xie Canghai felt that he had grasped Zhang Ruochen’s weakness, and he was elated as he said, “I can take those thirty drops of Tears of the Void out as part of the bargaining chips to exchange the Demonic Blood Ax Engraving with Your Highness.” Zhang Ruochen turned around, and stared at Xie Canghai with a cautious look. “Mister Xie, I think you are cultivating the Demonic Blood Ax Engraving, right? No… It should be the rubbed engraving print.”

Xie Canghai’s expression was a little awkward while he said, “That’s right.”

“in this case, the Demonic Blood Ax Engraving should be regarded as a priceless treasure for Mister Xie right? Immediately after, Zhang Ruochen continued. “If you want the Demonic Blood Ax Engraving, Mister Xie, I think you need to show sufficient sincerity.”

If it weren’t for the fact that this person claimed to be a secret disciple of Yanshen, Xie Canghai would have killed him with a single slap, how could he allow the former to be so arrogant?

Xie Canghai said, “Three-hundred-thousand-year-old sacred medicine, a Taiyi Primordial Stone, plus thirty drops of Tears of the Void. They should suffice, right?”

“Not enough.”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “Add another 10 billion Saint Stones to that.”

Xie Canghai’s heart almost jumped out as his arms trembled, and he was just that bit away from las.h.i.+ng out and turning Zhang Ruochen into mush.

This was clearly taking advantage of him, and was deliberately trying to squeeze him dry.

“If Mister Xie, you think that I’m trying to make things difficult for you, then I can only bring the Demonic Blood Ax Engraving to the auction house in the Celestial Court to sell it. By then, the number of Saint Stones I’d obtain would not just be 10 billion Saint Stones,” Zhang Ruochen said with a smile.

Xie Canghai snorted and said to himself, “If you auction off a treasure like the Demonic Blood Ax Engraving, it would be strange if your master did not kill you himself. You clearly know that by taking the Demonic Blood Ax Engraving back to the Celestial Court you would need to hand it over, and would not gain any benefits. That’s why you are trying to swindle me.”

He had no choice, so Xie Canghai finally chose to compromise.

“All right then, deal! But 10 billion Saint Stones is just too huge an amount, and I don’t have it with me. Could you give me a month’s time to transfer the Saint Stones from Blackdemon Realm and hand it over to Your Highness personally?” Xie Canghai said.

A month?

A moth was enough for Xie Canghai to get a grip on Zhang Ruochen’s ident.i.ty, how would he agree to that?

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “It seems like Mister Xie, you aren’t sincere enough. I will look for another buyer then. There are many cultivators in Blackdemon Realm who are cultivating the Demonic Blood Ax Engraving, and there will bound to be someone who can afford it.”

“Wait, I’ll think of another way.”

Xie Canghai turned around and walked into the east side private room.
