One hundred and twenty million!
Hearing Ye Guan’s words, Wanyan Gu’s eyes widened. Her beautiful eyes were full of disbelief.
Good grief!
What a guy!
This man was truly ruthless!
After the initial shock, Wanyan Gu burst into laughter!
It felt so good!
If Ye Guan had not acted earlier, she would have stepped in herself. That old bastard had gone too far!
At that moment, a set of footsteps suddenly sounded from behind Ye Guan!
Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed slightly. The other party had managed to appear behind him without a sound. Not simple at all!
Ye Guan did not turn around. His right hand remained behind his back, his expression as calm as still water!
Wanyan Gu looked toward the area behind Ye Guan. There stood an old man dressed in black robes. He had a small goatee and a thin frame, yet he looked extremely spirited. Especially those eyes, they carried an imposing pressure!
Ye Guan still did not turn!
The black-robed old man stared at Ye Guan. “Are you planning to keep your back to me the whole time, sir?”
Before Ye Guan could reply, the old man pinned by the sword in front of him hurriedly said, “City Lord Sang, save…”
Whoosh!
Before he could finish, a qi sword pressed directly against his throat. The old man’s voice cut off abruptly.
City Lord Sang!
Hearing those words, Wanyan Gu’s expression immediately became grave!
Ye Guan turned to look at City Lord Sang. “Talk, or fight?”
Talk or fight?
Direct and simple!
Wanyan Gu looked at Ye Guan. In her eyes, besides shock, there was a hint of something unusual.
This man was truly unusually bold!
Hearing Ye Guan’s words, City Lord Sang remained calm. “So confident, young sir?”
Ye Guan stared at City Lord Sang. “Talk or fight?”
City Lord Sang met Ye Guan’s gaze directly. “Do you know what kind of place this is?”
Ye Guan suddenly vanished from his spot!
Whoosh!
Space tore open abruptly. A sword arrived in front of City Lord Sang in an instant.
This sword was as fast as lightning!
Sensing the speed of that sword, City Lord Sang’s face changed dramatically. He suddenly pointed forward with two fingers. At his fingertip, a streak of shocking thunder exploded!
Boom!
A beam of sword light and a burst of thunder light shattered together!
City Lord Sang had already retreated dozens of zhang away. However, the moment he stopped, another flying sword came killing toward him!
Faster than the previous one!
City Lord Sang’s pupils contracted sharply. His heart filled with horror. This time, before he could even make a move, a sword was already pressed against the centre of his brow!
City Lord Sang looked at Ye Guan in disbelief. “You are that Sword Emperor Ye Guan!”
Ye Guan furrowed his brows slightly. “You know me?”
Beside him, Wanyan Gu smiled. “Right now, your name is quite big. Everyone knows you are challenging the Child of Destiny!”
Ye Guan smiled. “So in other words, I am borrowing the Child of Destiny’s light!”
With that, he looked at City Lord Sang. “Your people extorted one hundred and twenty million gold crystals from me. What do you think about this matter?”
City Lord Sang furrowed his brows slightly. He glanced at the black-robed old man. The old man wore a bitter expression, wanting to speak but not daring to!
City Lord Sang knew the young man in front of him was counter-extorting!
Ye Guan stared at City Lord Sang, waiting for an answer!
City Lord Sang said gravely, “Young Master Ye, you may kill him and take back what is yours!”
Hearing City Lord Sang’s words, the black-robed old man’s face turned ashen!
He knew he had been abandoned.
Ye Guan smiled. “So in other words, City Lord Sang has no intention of compensating me for my money!”
City Lord Sang stared at Ye Guan. “He extorted Young Master Ye. That has nothing to do with my crime!”
Ye Guan said, “Is he not one of your people?”
City Lord Sang remained expressionless. “No!!”
No!
Hearing City Lord Sang’s words, Ye Guan was stunned!
Good grief!
They really know how to play!
Just deny it outright?
Meanwhile, the black-robed old man beside them felt his heart turn to ashes. He knew he was completely finished!
He looked at Ye Guan, suddenly filled with rage. If you had said earlier you were a Sword Emperor, how could I have dared to extort you? You, a堂堂 Sword Emperor, looking so harmless and gentle. You really harm people without realising it!
Ye Guan stared at City Lord Sang and smiled. “City Lord Sang, is there someone above you?”
City Lord Sang furrowed his brows slightly. “What do you mean?”
Ye Guan said, “I want to talk to someone else!”
City Lord Sang’s face changed dramatically. “Young Master Ye, do you know who is behind Dark Capital? You…”
Ye Guan suddenly asked, “Compared to the An family, how do they stack up?”
City Lord Sang stared at Ye Guan. “Stronger than them!”
Ye Guan was immediately stunned!
Stronger than the An family!
Interesting!
Ye Guan was about to speak when City Lord Sang hurriedly said, “Young Master Ye, this is not a threat. It is just that the person behind Dark Capital is truly terrifying. Their power and influence are extremely formidable even in Guanxuan Cosmic! Moreover, they have a connection to the former Human Sword Master!”
Ye Guan was stunned. “Connected to the Human Sword Master?”
City Lord Sang quickly nodded. “Yes!”
Ye Guan’s brows furrowed.
City Lord Sang continued, “Young Master Ye, this matter was our people’s offence against you. But one hundred million gold crystals, I truly cannot produce! How about this? Since you are going to Guanxuan Cosmic, I will make the decision. Free teleportation for you both. How does that sound?”
Ye Guan suddenly asked, “If I make a big fuss about what happened here, what will the person behind Dark Capital do?”
City Lord Sang’s expression froze.
Ye Guan smiled. “Or rather, if it blows up, what will happen to you?”
City Lord Sang’s face immediately became somewhat ugly!
Ye Guan said calmly, “City Lord Sang, I, Ye Guan, distinguish clearly between kindness and enmity. Today, if I did not have the strength, I would already be nothing but bones. Therefore, I will show no mercy or pity to my enemies. If you feel unhappy about it, you can call out the person behind you right now. I would like to see which peerless big shot dares to engage in such shady dealings!”
City Lord Sang fell silent.
Everyone knew about this matter, but it could not be spoken aloud. Especially the person behind him could not show his face!
And if things blew up and implicated that big shot… his own ending would be utterly miserable!
City Lord Sang glanced at Ye Guan, his expression complex. This Young Master Ye was truly cunning!
What Ye Guan was forcing was not that big shot from Guanxuan Academy, but him, City Lord Sang!
In this moment, he was directly caught in a dilemma!
As if thinking of something, City Lord Sang coldly glanced at the black-robed old man in the distance. Seeing City Lord Sang’s gaze, the black-robed old man raged, “What the hell are you looking at!”
He was no longer afraid now!
Anyway, he could not escape death. Since that was the case, why not go all out?
Hearing the black-robed old man’s words, City Lord Sang’s face turned livid with anger!
Beside them, Ye Guan suddenly said, “City Lord Sang, to be frank, there should be no one in this city who can stop me. You now have two choices. Compensate me with money, or second, call someone. Call out the big shot behind you. If you call someone, I will call someone too!”
The small tower suddenly said, “Who are you calling?”
Ye Guan said, “Calling the other big shot inside the tower!”
The small tower said, “She will not…”
“Shut up!”
The mysterious voice suddenly interrupted. “Shut up! Idiot!”
After coming back to his senses, the small tower immediately went numb!
Damn it!
This bastard!
Holy crap!
Is he really poisonous? Always thinking of digging pits for me at every moment… too freaking ridiculous!
Hearing the tower lord’s words, Ye Guan said softly, “There really is…”
He had always suspected there was another big shot inside the tower, but he had not been certain. Now, he could finally confirm it!
At that moment, City Lord Sang not far away suddenly said, “Young Master Ye, do you really have to push things this far?”
Ye Guan glanced at City Lord Sang. “I will give you a discount. Sixty million gold crystals!”
City Lord Sang immediately said, “Deal!”
Ye Guan was stunned!
He had originally thought that if this guy refused, he would start robbing!
But this guy actually agreed right away!
Ye Guan hesitated for a moment, then said, “Do you want to think it over?”
City Lord Sang directly took out a storage ring and handed it to Ye Guan. Inside it were exactly sixty million gold crystals!
Ye Guan fell silent.
City Lord Sang hurriedly said, “Young Master Ye, are you not going to Guanxuan Cosmic? Then you had better hurry! As far as I know, people from the Immortal Treasure Pavilion do not want you to reach Guanxuan Cosmic right now! If you delay any longer, it will be troublesome!”
Ye Guan thought for a moment, then looked at the storage ring in City Lord Sang’s hand. “Give me that one too!”
City Lord Sang’s expression froze!
Ye Guan said calmly, “This is what I deserve! Otherwise, would not that fight just now have been for nothing?”
With that, he opened his palm. City Lord Sang’s storage ring flew directly into his hand. City Lord Sang did not dare to resist at all!
Ye Guan glanced inside the storage ring. There were actually twenty million gold crystals!
So rich!
Ye Guan looked at City Lord Sang. He knew the other party definitely had more than this, but right now he did not have time to dwell on it!
Ye Guan also collected the black-robed old man’s storage ring nearby. The old man was relatively poor, with only over seven million gold crystals!
Ye Guan was immediately thrilled. He looked at Wanyan Gu beside him. He opened his palm and divided forty-three million to her!
Wanyan Gu blinked. “For me?”
Ye Guan nodded. “Finders keepers!”
Wanyan Gu grinned widely. “Then… I will not be polite!”
With that, she directly accepted the storage ring!
A huge sum!
She could not refuse!
Ye Guan glanced at City Lord Sang. “City Lord Sang, please pass on a message to the big shot behind you. I came here merely passing through with no ill intentions. Please do not retaliate against me. Thank you!”
With that, he took Wanyan Gu and walked toward the distant teleportation array!
On the spot, City Lord Sang fell silent.
Ye Guan brought Wanyan Gu into the teleportation array. Soon, the array activated. He and Wanyan Gu disappeared within it.
On the spot, City Lord Sang immediately turned. Not far away stood a illusory shadow. Seeing this shadow, City Lord Sang slowly knelt down. “Boss…”
The shadow said calmly, “Withdraw!”
City Lord Sang hesitated for a moment, then quickly retreated!
Nearby, the black-robed old man hesitated as well, then turned and ran!
Ye Guan had not killed him!
And City Lord Sang had not acted against him either. Therefore, he decisively chose to flee!
The shadow looked toward the distant teleportation array. After a moment of silence, he said softly, “The brows and eyes are so similar to yours… Some people are going to be in trouble! Hehe…”
