232 Chapter 232 Emperor Burning Spiritual Ar (1/2)

Within Ruohai Straits, in one of the huge tents in the army camp, Zong Shou's face was bitter as he looked at his hand.

He had only obtained 2 pill bottles from a night of scouring along with a few grade 6 beast crystals.

Next would be the few spiritual weapons which were worth a bit of money.

”There aren't that many items? Little heaven and earthbag? Didn't you all just return from Jiefu City, did you come back empty-handed? Forget about the others, you should have at least 8-10 earth energy pills right? I heard Tan Tao mention that Gantian Mountain and Xuan Mountain City would purchase tens or twenty earth energy pills from the various sects of Donglin Cloud Continent to be used as a salary of Xuanwu ancestors…”

”Heaven and earthbags are unique to hidden sects. If your Gantian Mountain doesn't have it, then much less our Blazing Flame Mountain?”

Xiong Kui half kneeled on the ground, and his face was helpless. With the gaze when one looked at a fool as he looked right at Zong Shou, ”As for Jiefu City, who exactly was our Blazing Flame Mountain conned by? We only exchanged around 15 earth energy pills, a large portion of them were immediately sent back. Even as the prince I can't pocket too much which was why I only have 2 on me. I didn't hide any from you!”

Zong Shou couldn't help but cover his face, only feeling that his heart couldn't take it anymore. He originally thought that this time he would more or less be able to get some money back. However, apart from getting 4 earth energy pills from Xiong Kui and Feng Yu, there was no other thing that was worth any value.

The army camp, which he held some hopes for, only stored less than 7 days worth of military grain. Although it was for 400 thousand people, its value was lesser than that of a single wind flame explosive arrow. Next would be some dirt and stone materials used to build a city.

Oh right! There were millions of arrows and roughly 20 thousand sets of armor and equipment as well as 200 thousand grade 2 beast crystals.

These were the only gains that were worth mentioning. Unfortunately, a large portion of them couldn't be carried away by him and he could only regretfully burn them or abandon them.

It was not wrong to say that he was unable to make a profit from this.

Zong Shou couldn't help but grit his teeth. He had to get that monster king position. If he didn't hold Gantian Mountain in his hands, he would have no way of stopping the loss of money.

Looking at the gaze of Xiong Kui becoming slowly more and more dangerous, he touched his chin and started to contemplate.

”How about this. Zong Yuan cut off one of his fingers and send someone to send it to Blazing Flame Mountain. Tell his father to send at least 20 grade 7 beast crystals of ransom before I will release him.”

Xiong Kui's face instantly turned white. Looking at Zong Yuan who stood solemnly behind Zong Shou suddenly take a step forward, he frantically waved his hand, ”Slow down! It's just a finger I don't care much. However, my flame bear race rule is that if one is captured one would be unable to inherit the throne. With my father's personality, he won't pay a single grade 1 beast crystal. Even if you cut off my finger it would be useless.”

Zong Shou was startled, looking towards Zong Yuan and Ruo Shui with a questioning gaze.

These 2 people both nodded their heads slightly to express that Xiong Kui wasn't lying.

Zong Shou instantly felt his heart turn cold. He was originally planning to extort a large sum from them, following which he would do some tricks on the soul of Xiong Kui before releasing him, killing 2 birds with one stone.

However, from what Xiong Kui was saying, it seems like he wouldn't even be able to get a single grade 1 beast crystal.

His eyes couldn't help but turn ice cold, shining indiscernibly.

...Not even having a heaven and earth bag, no earth energy pills, unable to exchange him for money. What's was the use of keeping this fellow alive?

Taking in a deep breath, a bright shine appeared in Zong Shou's heart, ”Zong Yuan, after that Feng Yu's head is made into a potty can it be sold for money? Don't lie to me.”

Zong Yuan's face twitched slightly. However, he still replied with a calm tone, ”My prince, these few years many people died in the hands of Feng Yu. Amongst which tens of them came from huge races, their family members are extremely rich. Naturally, there are many who are enemies with this Xiong Kui too.”

Zong Shou's eyes instantly lit up. That ten feet tall huge body of Xiong Kui had already become a gold shiny potty in his eyes. At that time it was best if someone added in a few jewels and made it into an art piece. They could most probably they could sell it for a high price.

That Xiong Kui had long understood his intentions. He wanted to cry but no tears came out. He originally wanted to prevent his head from being cut off and being made into a potty which was why he gave up his dignity and surrendered. However listening to Zong Shou's tone, it was like he wouldn't be able to avoid his fate of becoming a potty.

Thinking about how other people's yellow liquid was going to be spilled into his head and skull, goosebumps appeared all over his body. It was simply too hard to bear.

Just as he was feeling despair, Xiong Kui suddenly had an idea. His eyes turning before he said with determination, ”I am unable to take out money. However, I know the defense layout and spiritual formation organization of Blazing Flame Mountain city.”

Only then did Zong Shou retract his killing intent, smiling, ”Glad you know your place. However, to exchange for your life this isn't enough. Continue…”
