Li Chenâs face flushed red instantly.
How could they not know that a hundred origin spiritual pills were nothing more than them trying to be shameless?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
If they converted the number of holy artifacts into whatever currency they liked, selling off a hundred origin spiritual pills wouldnât even be enough to get a millionth of that amount.
Xie Yao quickly interrupted, âThen weâll give you two hundred of them.â He was afraid Huang Xiaolong would get greedy, and he quickly added, âThatâs all we can take out right now. Take it or leave it.â
Huang Xiaolong turned his cold gaze over to Xie Yao. âIf I refuse to take them, you wonât give me a single piece of it?â
âI guess Iâll leave it then. When we get back to the city, you can kneel in front of my manor for a day. Remember to give me my holy artifacts.â
As soon as he spoke, he turned around and left.
He didnât plan to waste his time talking to them.
When Li Chen saw how decisive Huang Xiaolong was, his expression sank. âJunior Brother Huang, donât go too far! Weâll take out three hundred level-ten origin spiritual pills! Thatâs all we have!â
Huang Xiaolong burst into laughter, and he turned around to look at Li Chen. âLi Chen, Iâve seen plenty of shameless people in my life, but you guys take the cake. If I didnât possess a holy soul and had failed to qualify, would you have left it at three hundred origin spiritual pills? You would have probably forced me to hand over all my holy artifacts right now. Hahaha! You guys wouldnât have been able to wait for us to get back to the city for me to kneel in front of the city gates eitherâ¦â
âIâll allow you guys to get me my holy artifacts after we return, and thatâs as far as Iâll go! If you ran all the way here in the morning to leave three hundred origin spiritual pills for me to call off the bet, you better think again,â Huang Xiaolong sneered before leaving.
âDonât even think of reneging. Otherwise, Iâll teach you the hard way.â
Li Chen glared at Huang Xiaolongâs departing figure and rage boiled in his heart.
When it came down to it, he was more than capable of paying off the debt. After all, he wasnât a poor cultivator. However, he wasnât willing to give them to Huang Xiaolong.
Before the trial, he had managed to obtain the All Extinguishing Treasury. He had also managed to obtain the Primal Ancestor dao artifact, the Eight Sided Desolate Beast Ring. If he auctioned off the treasury, he would be more than capable of taking out all the holy artifacts he owed. If he was willing to sell away the dao artifact, Huang Xiaolongâs bet would be nothing to him.
He could easily obtain a hundred low-grade holy artifacts if he sold it off!
However, he wasnât willing to give Huang Xiaolong anything!
When he thought about how he had licked Huang Xiaolongâs boots after the battle in the Mirage Pavilion, he had wanted nothing more than to tear him piece by piece! How would he allow himself to hand over more than ten holy artifacts to Huang Xiaolong?
âSenior Brother, what do we do now?â Lin Yijia asked cautiously.
Xie Yao couldnât help but rage when he saw Huang Xiaolong walking away. âF*ck him! He wonât be able to do anything to us even if we refuse to pay up!â
As a core disciple of the Holy Heavens, all of them were more than capable of taking out a single holy artifact. However, they were like Li Chen. None of them were willing to hand it over to Huang Xiaolong.
Chen Kaiping hesitated for a moment, and he stuttered, âWhat⦠What if he decides to bring this up with the four Primal Ancestors?â
Xie Yaoâs heart trembled violently.
That was the only thing they were afraid of.
If Huang Xiaolong was an ordinary holy prince, he wouldnât have been able to do a thing to them, even after winning the bet. However, Huang Xiaolong was the direct disciple of all four Primal Ancestors!
âAs soon as we return, Iâll tell my master, Lord Long, that none of us has a holy artifact. Weâll only be able to give it to him after gathering all of them,â Li Chen suggested.
Xie Yao and the others felt their world brightening up once again.
It was true that none of them had a piece of holy artifact on them. It didnât make sense to force them to hand over something they didnât have. Even if Huang Xiaolong forced them to hand it over, they wouldnât be able to!
As for the matter of paying up after gathering up all the holy artifacts, they would simply take their time to do it! After a hundred thousand years, who would bother with the bet?
Even if Huang Xiaolong tried to force them to hand them over, they could easily think of another excuse.
âSenior Brother Li Chen, youâre a genius!â Xie Yao couldnât help but praise.
âWhat about the matter about kneeling before the Blue Dragon Manor?â Lin Yijia asked.
Everyone looked at Li Chen, hoping for a reply.
âAfter we get back, weâll beg our respective masters to plead with the four Primal Ancestors. We can also get some of the people under us to beg for mercy. As long as the four Primal Ancestors give the nod, Huang Xiaolong wonât be able to do a thing.â
Once again, everyone praised Li Chen for his amazing suggestion.
He was right! They could get everyone to beg the four Primal Ancestors to get Huang Xiaolong to call the bet off!
After all, Xie Yaoâs master was Wu Ge, the grand hall master of the Holy Heavens! The masters of the others werenât too low in rank either. With so many people begging for mercy on their behalf, the four Primal Ancestors would relent.
Moreover, it would be difficult to punish them if all the holy princes backed them up.
Xie Yao burst into joy the next instant. âSenior Brother Li Chen, youâre too damn clever! When we get back, we donât even need to pay him the origin spiritual pills!â
Lin Yijia laughed, âWonât Huang Xiaolong be angered to the point of spitting out blood when that happens? Hahaha!â
Everyone roared with laughter.
Several days passed in a flash as everyone boarded the Golden Roc Holy Ship behind Tyrant Chu.
Along the way, Tyrant Chu looked for Huang Xiaolong all the time and anyone could see the amount he cared he had for his disciple. When Li Chen and the others noticed what was going on, rage boiled in their hearts. It was especially so for Li Chen as he was the one who had obtained the third spot in the trial! Huang Xiaolong was only fifth!
Despite his performance, Tyrant Chu hadnât even spoken to him after he had left the Ghost Devil City. In fact, Tyrant Chu hadnât even glanced at him!
Tyrant Chu, one day, youâll regret this!
Li Chen swore in his heart.
Since the journey back was long, Huang Xiaolong chatted with Tyrant Chu during the day. He also spent some time refining the Black Corpse Holy Ring, and he entered secluded cultivation at night.
After leaving the city, Huang Xiaolong had a nagging feeling that the Saint Fate would appear soon. It might even appear after the opening of the Cangqiong Holy Manor! Unwilling to miss the chance, Huang Xiaolong cultivated with all his might.
Two months passed quickly.
As soon as they returned, a ton of experts went up to welcome their triumphant return. There wasnât an end to the crowd and Huang Xiaolong was frightened by the number of people who had turned up. This was the first time he realized how many people were there in the Heavenly Master Holy Grounds!
