997 The Yao Core (1/2)

”Leader Yun!”

Xiao Jianghu laughed. ”I am Xiao Wuyi, of the General Commerce League. I formally apologize to Leader Yun.”

A bark of laughter escaped Yun Yang as well. ”Respectable Chief, you're too polite. Your status is very significant. You're supposed to be more cautious when you're out and about. No such thing as apologizing for it. It is I, this junior, who is offensive.”

Xiao Jianghu - no, Xiao Wuyi - cackled and grabbed Yun Yang's hand to shake it continuously in an incredibly warm manner, saying, ”It's still my fault for hiding my identity from Leader Yun; it's a sign of insincerity to my partner… Don't be offended, Brother Yun. This is honestly my fault.”

Yun Yang refused the apology ceaselessly, but Xiao Wuyi was still pulling his hand, and continued to say, ”I know, too, that the duration between this and the last transaction is too short and the resources we collected exceeded Brother Yun's expectations, so much so that it has troubled you… I deeply regret it as well.”

He said sincerely, ”However, it's a crucial point of time to the General Commerce League now. Our wish for millenniums could perhaps be fulfilled in the Celestial Luck Banner contest this time around… Fighting for the upper-class Celestial Luck Banner has always been the shared aspiration of hundreds of thousands of people in the league. It's a wish that we can only bear in our hearts in the past but it's so close, almost within our grasps now. We're really reluctant to let it go when we're only one step away… Don't worry, Brother Yun. Whether it's a success or not this time, you'll be the decision-maker of when the next entry to the Spirit's Grave will be. We will not doubt you. This is an exception that'll never happen again!”

Yun Yang chuckled bitterly and sighed, ”Since you've said so, Chief, of course, I'll do my best to complete this task at hand first… sigh…”

A rather distressed sigh still exalted Yun Yang's lips as he spoke.

”You're easygoing, Brother Yun,” Xiao Wuyi chortled.

With a stretch of his hand, a gently glowing box made of amethyst appeared on his palm. He thrust 7it into Yun Yang's grip swiftly and said, ”Brother Yun, this is a core belonging to a Teal Bear Daemon General that I've gotten by chance back then. I've had it for a long time, but I've never used it. As a recipient of Brother Yun's generosity today, I'll give this to you as a sign of my sincerity. Don't you dare reject me, Brother Yun. It's nothing big, but it's my expression of goodwill.”

The core of a Daemon General?

Behind the men, Zhang Changgong, Li Yixin, Lang Fantian, and Feng Guohai were distinctly moved when they heard it.

The Daemon Soldier, Daemon Guard, Daemon General… It would be the Daemon King after that! A Daemon General's level of ability was similar to a human of the Saint-level; however, if a human Saint and a Daemon General fought head to head, there was no doubt the former would lose.

This was because the Yao race possessed an innate mystical power that humankind did not. Once they used the mystical power, it could escalate their capability to twenty percent and more.

As for the Daemon General's core, it was a scarce treasure that a martial artist could only wish for.

The Yao race fighters were courageous creatures. Even when they failed to win a battle, they would self-detonate at the final moment to make the last attempt in harming their enemy. They would never let their opponent go easily. Said core was the core sitting on Xiao Wuyi's palm.

It could be said that getting a Yao core was more about luck. As for the core of a Daemon General, one must have significant luck as well as an amazing capability. The core could increase a cultivator's cultivation base by a few hundred years. It was truly a rare gem!

Now, Xiao Wuyi was actually giving it to Yun Yang, citing that he had no use for it?

The gift was too valuable. It was not a mere expression of sentiment anymore. Yun Yang was stunned by the sudden gesture as well, refusing repeatedly, ”This – How can this be… You're too courteous…”

Xiao Wuyi slapped the box into Yun Yang's hand insistently and feigned anger. ”If Brother Yun doesn't accept it, you are insulting my crude present – it is akin to looking down upon my, Xiao Wuyi's sentiment!”
