Chapter 299 - Chapter 299: Not enough 299 (2/2)
Where could the Nine Provinces Seal have gone?
Where exactly was the error?
Suddenly, he turned his head, looking at the two women from the Elf Clan not far off, somewhat surprised, “Could it be that the Nine Provinces Seal is with them?”
Despite how outlandish this idea is, there were no other possibilities.
The Nine Provinces Seal from the Divine State surprisingly ended up in the hands of the elf clan on another continent; this was indeed too absurd.
This has become a bit troubling now.”
Gu Yang saw that the two women were quite far off, with on guard expressions, it seemed unlikely that he would be able to launch a surprise attack.
The Unleaking Realm magic he saw earlier seemed pretty strange; it should possess the capacity to rip through space, providing an easy escape.
If forcefully taking it was impossible, then he would have to resort to temptation.
He took out the Extreme Sun Nail, feeling the extremely yang and rigid energy it emitted, asking, “Do you want this?”
Earlier, that woman fought tooth and nail to obtain this item; evidently their aim at Kunyang, was the Extreme Sun Nail.
The elder of the two women said, “That’s our clan’s sacred object, we kindly ask you return it to us—and our Elf Clan will be forever grateful.”
Although her words were understandable, her tone was strangely formal.
This woman was a bit too candid, openly revealing that it was a sacred item from her clan.
This was practically asking him to name his price.
Gu Yang’s eyes held hints of mockery, “Taking a spiritual treasure so lightly and just saying thanks—you think it’s that easy. If you want this, sure, make a trade with something else.”
At this, Eve could contain herself no longer, and angrily said, “That was originally our clan’s sacred object, it rightfully belongs to us.”
Gu Yang coldly laughed, “That’s my spoils of war—whose fault is it that you couldn’t beat them? Of course, you can also try to take it—if you succeed, it’s yours.”
“You”
Eve wanted to say something, but Gress pulled her back, afraid that the princess would infuriate him further, quickly asked, “What do you want in return? As long as our clan can provide it, you just have to ask.”
“You’ve misunderstood.”
Gu Yang shook his head, replying, “Currently, you’re the ones making the offer. For this spiritual treasure, how much are you willing to offer in exchange?”
Hearing his response, Gress felt a pang in her heart. She had experienced human greed before, and the human in front of her was obviously the most cunning kind—he wouldn’t quit until he sucked them dry.
Gu Yang, not waiting for her reply, continued, “This isn’t the right place for negotiations, let’s leave.”
With the death of two Nascent Souls, this would surely alert the top members of Wanxiang Gate. According to Simulation’s calculations, a Celestial Being strongman would soon arrive.
He flew off at once.
Since he knew that the Extreme Sun Nail was so important to these two elves, he naturally wouldn’t worry about them not giving chase.
As expected, the two elf women hurriedly followed behind.
After leaving Kunyang, Gu Yang picked up Cao Yiyi and Ling Ling, flew several thousand miles before stopping, then began to negotiate with the two elves who had been following at a distance.
He said, “So, how about it? Have you thought it through?”
Gress took out a ring and a short sword, “This is the Artifact, Love God Ring. After wearing it, one can receive the protection of the Love God and withstand one legendary magic.
“This is the Sword of Kru. Its only attribute is to inflict serious injuries. As long as it pierces, no matter how shallow the wound is, it will inflect serious injuries on the spot.”
Both were excellent treasures. There were only a few artifacts left in the Elf Clan. They only brought a few with them on this trip.
Gu Yang’s face remained unchanging, stating, “Not enough.”
Elf Princess Eve’s face was livid upon hearing this. If it hadn’t been for Gress’s repeated warnings on the way here, she wouldn’t have been able to hold back her rage.
Gress bit her teeth and took out a necklace, “This is the Chain of the Heart. After wearing it, it can immune you from mind-related magic.”
Gu Yang still shook his head, stating, “Not enough.”
After that, Gress continued to take out several items one by one. However, each time, Gu Yang shook his head in dissatisfaction.
Eve watched his insatiable behavior, her face turning green with anger.
In the end, Gress’s face turned paler, no longer able to bring out anything else, she replied, “We only have these items.”
Gu Yang, seeing that she still had yet to take out the Nine Provinces Seal, was growing slightly impatient and asked, “Are you sure?”
Gress’s face changed at his words and she finally bit the bullet, removing the Thorn Crown. “This is one of the most important artifacts of our clan—the Thorn Crown. After wearing it, one can receive the protection of the gods.”
That offer was somewhat sincere.
Gu Yang had seen the power of this artifact before—it was also a spiritual treasure. Its value was similar to that of the Extreme Sun Nail, making it a fair trade.
However, in terms of function, the Extreme Sun Nail was still more useful. It could be used against that person from Chi Ming Heaven.
But that wasn’t what he really wanted.
He still shook his head, stating, “Not enough.”
At this, the expressions on Gress’s face mirrored that of Eve’s. Suppressing her anger, she said, “Don’t push us too far. These artifacts are more than enough to exchange for that sacred object.”
Gu Yang’s expression did not change as he calmly responded, “Right now, you’re the ones that want to trade with me. Naturally, I set the price. If I say it’s not enough, then it’s not enough. If you feel it’s an unfair trade, you don’t have to trade.”
After saying that, he made a move to leave.
Gress changed her expression drastically and hastily stopped him, “Wait.”
The sacred object was tied to the future of the Elf Clan. If they were unable to bring it back, within a few hundred years at most, the Elf Clan would be extinct. No matter the cost, they had to get it.
She forced down her anger and said, “We really can’t bring out anything else.”
“No,” Gu Yang gave her a hint, “Think again. What else do you have?”
He didn’t clarify outright because he didn’t want to reveal his intentions.
If they knew how important the Nine Provinces Seal was to him, they might end up being the ones dictating high prices.
By then, one Extreme Sun Nail for one Nine Provinces Seal would be a massive loss.
Who knew, upon hearing this, both Elf women’s faces drastically changed. It seemed they were misunderstanding.
PS: I only slept for four hours last night. I kept thinking about the troubling matter when I tried sleeping. Even when night came, and after I adjusted myself, there were only two updates today. I’ll get back on track tomorrow.
