Chapter 140: An Unremarkable Transaction Process

Hearing these disrespectful words toward the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, many proud members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan were incensed.

"Who is it? Who is spouting such nonsense outside?"

"Rest assured, the experts in the clan will let him know how high the sky is!"

"Indeed, I wonder which fool it is that actually dares to say they want us to receive a Dou Sheng Elder!"

"Have our Elders ever gone out?"

"Probably not!"

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "The Clan Leader has arrived!"

"Greetings, Clan Leader!"

"Hmm!" Huang Tian nodded slightly in response, then waved his hand, preparing to have the other members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan leave.

At this moment, his expression was somewhat unsightly; although many people only thought those outside were merely a group of lunatics, Huang Tian would not believe that there was truly a fool who dared to fabricate such a major matter.

In that case,

there was only one result...

Lei Huang and the other three had truly been captured!

Just then, a lazy voice rang out: "Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan Dou Sheng exhibition, come and watch quickly!"

"Bastard!" To think someone dared to insult the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan in such a way; their crime deserved death.

"Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan Elders, follow this Clan Leader to meet the enemy!" As soon as the words fell, Huang Tian took the lead and passed directly through the boundary of the Demon Phoenix Domain,

appearing within the Void Space.

The first things to enter his sight were two figures in white, one lying on the ground on their side without any decorum,

looking at this place with a playful gaze.

The other person was sitting cross-legged quietly, eyes closed and silent; only after sensing Huang Tian's arrival did they open their eyes, looking at this place with a calm, unruffled expression.

However, what made Huang Tian most furious was the sight of Lei Huang and the other three, who had been placed under a Prohibition and tossed together in a heap nearby.

The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Supreme Elders, who were usually extremely arrogant, all had their heads hanging low at this moment; after Huang Tian arrived before them, they felt a flash of joy, followed by extreme shame as they lowered their heads.

"You must be the Clan Leader of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Huang Tian, right?" The white-clad man who had been lying down stood up and asked with a smile.

"Who are you?" Huang Tian's eyes narrowed as he asked with some caution; whether intentional or not, the person opposite him was exuding the aura of an early Five-Star Dou Sheng.

Although it was still not comparable to Huang Tian himself, it was still a rare expert. As for the possibility that the person before him was the Ice Saint, he had already ruled that out first.

Just kidding, even if he, Huang Tian, had never met the Ice Saint in person,

how could a young man of only a hundred-odd years old have cultivated to a Five-Star Dou Sheng?

Does he think this is some folk tale?

In Huang Tian's mind,

it was most likely that Lei Huang and the others had become carried away by their success and offended these two powerful reclusive experts, only to be captured alive and brought to the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan to demand an explanation.

Before fighting, he still had to ask for the other party's name; if there was some connection, there would still be room to talk. He had to secure these useless pieces of trash first!

Never had he imagined...

Hearing Huang Tian's inquiry, Lei Huang and the others, who had previously lacked any presence, spoke up. The latter said with grief and indignation: "Clan Leader, he is the Pavilion Master of the Langya Pavilion—the Ice Saint!"

"The Ice Saint?" Huang Tian's expression changed drastically; with his heart trembling, he shouted in disbelief.

"Why, has Clan Leader Huang Tian heard of the name of a 'small fry' like me?" Xiao Han asked with a gentle smile.

"A small fry?" Huang Tian steadied his mind and snorted coldly, "You are no small fry. Over these years, the only factions and experts capable of causing the Soul Hall to hire help to deal with them are the Langya Pavilion and you."

"Then this one thanks Clan Leader Huang Tian for the praise!" Xiao Han smiled slightly and said, appearing harmless.

"Speak, what is your purpose in coming here?" Huang Tian's eyes flickered, "You aren't here to be a guest of my clan, are you?"

"A guest?" Xiao Han asked "in confusion," gesturing toward behind Huang Tian, "So, is the formation the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan uses to welcome guests this astonishing?"

The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan was indeed worthy of being one of the three great clans of the Beast World with a long heritage; under Xiao Han's perception,

the dozens of Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan members behind Huang Tian were at least Five-Star Dou Zuns, and there were even two or three Half-Saints among them.

Xiao Han estimated that this was only a portion of them; the foundation of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan could be seen from this.

"No need for more words, tell me directly how you will release Lei Huang and the other three." Huang Tian said coldly.

"Oh?" Xiao Han was slightly surprised, "Clan Leader Huang Tian, aren't you going to try and see if you can rescue these few back?"

"State your terms!" Huang Tian had no intention of wasting words with Xiao Han.

If Xiao Han and his companion were weak, Huang Tian might have truly considered it.

But the former was only a notch weaker than him; he could guarantee that this guy opposite him could kill all four of Lei Huang's group before he could succeed.

Moreover, Huang Tian also understood that since the other party was willing to bring Lei Huang and the others before him, they were naturally here to negotiate terms. Everyone could just be straightforward; he would consider it his own misjudgment, and he would accept this loss.

"Straightforward! Worthy of being the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan Leader!" Xiao Han clapped his hands, praising Huang Tian endlessly.

After a while, Xiao Han said: "Give me some Ninth Grade Pills from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's inventory!"

"How many?"

"Twenty!"

"Get lost!" Huang Tian said in a great rage, "You are too greedy! You actually want twenty Ninth Grade Pills!"

"Then how many can you offer?" Xiao Han did not mind; after all, they were doing business. The right way was for his side to set a high price and the other side to counter-offer.

"Ten Nine-Grade Treasure Pills at most." Huang Tian said coldly and proudly.

"Ten?" Xiao Han muttered, then shook his head, "You are a Clan Leader after all, how is your offer less generous than that of the Supreme Elder Lei Huang?"

Hearing Xiao Han's mockery, Huang Tian looked at Lei Huang with a slightly strange expression, only to see the latter's face flush red as he glared at Xiao Han through gritted teeth.

"Ten is the absolute maximum; it is absolutely impossible for my Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan to give out more Ninth Grade Pills." Huang Tian's bottom line was quite firm.

"Really?"

"Swish!" An ice spear condensed in Xiao Han's hand and slowly stabbed toward Lei Huang and the others, intending to use this tried-and-true tactic again.

"Wait, you can propose other conditions." Even though he knew it was unlikely that Xiao Han would actually strike, Huang Tian dared not gamble, and could only choose to increase the price in humiliation.

"Very good!" Xiao Han was very excited; he backhanded a Scroll toward Huang Tian, which the latter caught with an understated movement.

"Hmm?" Huang Tian opened the Scroll and looked at it carefully; his brows furrowed involuntarily, and he looked up at Xiao Han, "This is too much, especially the Demon Phoenix Blood Jade; I can give you five portions at most."

Demon Phoenix Blood Jade is a specialty of the Demon Phoenix Blood Pool, the secret treasure of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan that guards the clan. It can greatly purify the bloodline of Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan members and is also a main ingredient for certain Medicinal Pills. It is exceptionally precious, and even the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan does not have much in stock.

"Then state your conditions!" Xiao Han said nonchalantly, noncommittally.

"This is the final offer from my Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan." In the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, Huang Tian had informed Xiao Han of the price he was willing to pay.

"Deal."

"Wait a moment!"

Because there were so many items, it took a full hour to gather everything together. To Xiao Han's surprise, Huang Tian remained very calm throughout the entire process, acting honestly without the slightest sign of suddenly attacking.

"Then many thanks for the gift, Clan Leader Huang Tian." Xiao Han cupped his fists toward Huang Tian and said with a smile. He then turned around and tore through space to leave with Yun Lei Jingling.
