Chapter 1542: Bargaining

A Ya heard Luo Tianming say the news had already been sent out, let out a sigh, and began to worry about the Curse Tribe.

Luo Yun immediately patted her shoulder and comforted her: "It's fine, don't listen to his threats! The Empire would need time to prepare properly before acting against the Curse Tribe; it wouldn't act rashly."

Sending a few Martial Cultivators over would be utterly useless.

A Ya thought that made sense and temporarily felt relieved.

Meng Zhangxing sighed to Guo Da and the others: "This imperial prince is far too wealthy! In just a moment he's already gone through several Divine Rank protective garments."

"Trying to kill him would probably consume a lot!"

"Yeah!"

Guo Da also said: "Each of us has several sets of armor, let alone him!"

"It's a shame those Divine Rank protective garments and defensive light shields can't be left for us; that would be great!"

Luo Yun sighed.

Luo Tianming protected himself this time, but the Martial Cultivators around him were not so fortunate.

They were attacked by tens of thousands of Yin Souls, couldn't hold out long, and all fell one after another.

Ye Liuyun waved the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, gathering all their Yin Souls into the banner.

These are all Yin Souls of the Ninth Heavenly Sovereign; they must not be wasted.

Afterward, Ye Liuyun moved their corpses beside Guo Da and the others' formation, letting them handle the disposal.

Meng Zhangxing, facing Luo Tianming, deliberately provoked him: first he divided the resources stored in the Martial Cultivators' Storage Rings among everyone, then together with the others he released ferocious beasts that directly devoured those Martial Cultivators.

Luo Tianming, furious, threw treasures to attack those beasts, but Ye Liuyun intercepted them all.

He is now surrounded by tens of thousands of Yin Souls, three layers inside and three outside.

Yet he has no one nearby to offer ideas or discuss with.

Once he calmed down, he also felt some worry.

After thinking it over, he still wanted to negotiate terms with Ye Liuyun.

Now that no one is watching, he doesn't feel particularly embarrassed.

But his tone still carried an air of superiority.

"You can't kill me, so there's no need to waste effort! How about I give you some treasures and resources, and you withdraw quickly?"

He asked Ye Liuyun.

"Oh?"

"Tell me, what price are you willing to pay?"

Ye Liuyun was just idly amusing himself with him.

"Hmph, he's just greedy for wealth!"

Luo Tianming secretly thought, expecting Ye Liuyun to be greedy for wealth.

He immediately took out a Storage Ring, casually filled it with many Spirit Stones and Venerable Rank treasures, and threw it to Ye Liuyun.

These are things he usually rewards his servants with.

Although the situation is urgent, he also knew he needed to test Ye Liuyun's limits.

Ye Liuyun took it, glanced at it, and said disdainfully: "With just this little stuff, you think you can buy your life?"

"Not enough?"

Luo Tianming smiled, knowing these things definitely wouldn't tempt Ye Liuyun and his group.

"Then tell me, what do you want?"

He asked Ye Liuyun.

This was his true intention: to have Ye Liuyun name a price first, then he would haggle and reach a deal.

Because he was certain Ye Liuyun lacked his experience and couldn't guess how many resources he carried.

"Five billion high-grade Spirit Stones, fifty offensive Divine Artifacts, fifty defensive Divine Artifacts."

Ye Liuyun said casually.

This price is already beyond what an ordinary Martial Cultivator can afford.

But he saw that Luo Tianming's expression hadn't changed at all.

"Could it be that Luo Tianming actually carries all this on him?"

He also wondered: "If that's the case, then the Nan Xiang Empire must be absurdly wealthy!"

At this moment, Luo Tianming again feigned poverty and began to bargain with Ye Liuyun.

"How could I possibly carry that many treasures and Spirit Stones on me?"

"You're obviously not sincere!"

Ye Liuyun gave a contemptuous smile, stopped paying attention to him, and instead began communicating with Meng Zhangxing.

"Is the Nan Xiang Empire really that wealthy?"

"I think he can actually produce those treasures."

Ye Liuyun used Divine Sense to send a mental transmission to Meng Zhangxing.

Meng Zhangxing also used Divine Sense to send a mental transmission, chatting with Ye Liuyun: "Are you really planning to let him go?"

"Impossible! He's already broadcast our information."

"Whether we let him go or not, the Nan Xiang Empire won't let us off!"

Ye Liuyun said: "I'm just trying to probe his limits."

"A hundred Divine Rank treasures—quite a number—but the imperial princes should certainly be able to produce them!"

Meng Zhangxing explained to Ye Liuyun: "The emperor often bestows treasures upon the imperial princes during various festivals."

"If I weren't as wasteful as I am, saving them up would also amount to quite a lot!"

Looks like I'm going to be short?

Ye Liuyun asked.

Sure thing, this guy looks like a wealthy sort!

Meng Zhangxing replied.

But he added: "But what you need is special; ordinary people wouldn't carry fifty defensive treasures on them."

On the other side, Luo Tianming saw Ye Liuyun not speaking, instead chatting with his companions, and he thought Ye Liuyun's group was discussing.

So he also gave a slight smile, waiting for Ye Liuyun's group's result.

"The amount Ye Liuyun wants, he can definitely afford! He came this time to seek treasure, and he brought plenty of resources."

"But after giving it to Ye Liuyun, he really doesn't have much left."

The Yin Soul armies are now forming battle formations, continuously attacking his defensive light shield.

Tens of thousands of Yin Souls attack continuously; with the formation's boost, the speed at which his defensive light shield is being depleted is much faster than when attacked by those Foreign Tribe Yin Souls before.

Moreover, with so many Yin Souls surrounding him, even if he uses his trump card to save his life, he might not be able to break out.

His trump cards are still being saved for breaking out of this Ancient Great Array!

If he uses them now, he worries about being trapped here forever.

After waiting a while, seeing Ye Liuyun and Meng Zhangxing et al. finish their Divine Sense transmission voice, he asked: "How's it also?"

"Have you decided?"

"What are you thinking?"

Ye Liuyun countered.

"Your raise is too high; I can't come up with that much!"

Luo Tianming said again.

"If you can't come up with that much, what are we even talking about?"

"Just wait to die!"

Ye Liuyun said indifferently.

"So you're prepared to stubbornly hold onto this price to the death?"

Luo Tianming pretended to ask resentfully.

Ye Liuyun shrugged, didn't speak further, wanting to see how he would continue his performance.

Luo Tianming felt he should also bring out a bit of his trump card to show Ye Liuyun how formidable he is, so they'd concede.

"If that's the case, then don't blame me!"

Saying that, he took out a pebble and threw it at Ye Liuyun.

"Talisman!"

A Ya immediately saw it, and used Divine Sense to send a transmission voice to Ye Liuyun.
