Chapter 2456 - 2459: 50-50 Split? Not Interested (Extra - for ’Evil God’)

Jiang Chen smiled indifferently and said softly, "Can I start exchanging spirit stones now?"

"Exchanging spirit stones?"

Yan Li was slightly taken aback, turning to look at Yun Hai.

Yun Cheng also glanced over, but his eyes were filled with a playful expression.

"No need to exchange, no need to exchange!"

Yun Hai hurriedly waved his hand, scratched the back of his head, and said with embarrassment, "Uh... cooperating with an array master to hunt necro spirits, we should indeed provide the spirit stones, I just thought you were a novice... and wanted to trick you a bit!"

"Ah?"

Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned, looking at Yun Hai with a helpless smile.

"Haha!"

Both Yun Cheng and Yan Li burst into laughter.

Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly, then asked softly, "Brother Yun, how many spirit stones can you provide?"

"What grade of spirit stones do you want?"

Yun Hai replied with a slight embarrassment, clearly not yet out of the awkwardness.

"Middle grade spirit stones, if possible, bring several tens of millions."

Jiang Chen glanced around and said softly.

"What!?"

"How many!?"

The three from Yun Cheng exclaimed in shock, even Jin Hu was full of surprise.

"Since Yan Li the elder is here, although he can only exert the power of the Divine Infant Realm peak, the spiritual power and the power of the Great Dao inside him won’t diminish. In that case, let’s go big!"

Jiang Chen glanced at Yan Li and spoke softly.

"You’re thinking..."

Yun Hai’s eyes lit up, as if he had realized something.

"Exactly!"

Jiang Chen nodded, his expression extremely serious.

"Are you confident in setting up a formation to deal with that kind of existence? Although he can only exert the power of the Divine Infant Realm peak, I speculate his combat capability might be equal to a Virtual Refinement Realm peak expert!"

Yan Li spoke solemnly, yet his eyes showed a hint of anticipation.

"I can give it a try!"

Jiang Chen gently nodded, but didn’t make any guarantees.

"Good!"

Yun Cheng loudly shouted, "Since you, little brother Jiang, have this intention, let’s take the gamble."

After the words fell, Yun Cheng handed a space ring to Jiang Chen: "Here are fifty million middle grade spirit stones and a million high grade spirit stones, take them!"

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, he didn’t expect Yun Cheng to hand over the spirit stones directly.

However, Jiang Chen did not hesitate at all, reaching out to take the space ring, he said solemnly, "Old Yun, since you trust me so much, I will definitely not let you down!"

Jiang Chen understood why Yun Cheng did this, partly because he was Yun Tao’s junior fellow apprentice, and partly because Yun Cheng was a half-step saint. What he needed most was precisely what Jiang Chen was going to obtain.

"Good!"

Yun Cheng didn’t expect Jiang Chen to understand his intention so quickly and nodded heavily.

"No time to delay, we should set out now, recently the number of people in the abandoned plains is increasing, if we move out late, some gathering spots might be leveled!"

Yun Hai, motivated by Jiang Chen, proposed excitedly.

"Alright!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and nodded gently.

The group did not linger any longer and turned to leave the pavilion.

"This kid has the drive of that drunk back in the day, but that place isn’t that easy to break into."

Watching their leaving backs, Yun Cheng murmured with a smile, "This time the appearance of the saint’s corpse spirit is attracting powerful forces from nearby domains. Kid, no matter if you succeed or not, just come back safely. I can’t let a disciple of the drunk get into trouble under my watch, especially since you’re Yun Tao’s junior fellow apprentice!"

...

"We’re being followed."

Outside the trading town, as Jiang Chen and the others just walked out of the town gates, Yan Li whispered.

"It’s okay, let them follow!"

Jiang Chen smiled and continued to head towards the inner area as if unaware.

Yan Hu and Jin Hu followed without hesitation, Yan Li and the others exchanged a glance and also leaped forward.

A few moments later, a dozen figures swiftly pursued Jiang Chen and his companions.

After traveling about a hundred miles, Jiang Chen said softly, "Let’s resolve those folks first."

"Okay!"

Yun Hai nodded, the five stopped and turned to look back.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A dozen figures rushed up to Jiang Chen and the others, the leader being Lei Xiong of Lei Yang Village.

"Why did you stop running?"

Lei Xiong looked at Jiang Chen and the others playfully, his gaze fixed on Yan Li: "Yan Li, I didn’t expect you would really dare to hunt necro spirits with just five people; it seems there will soon be one less warrior in Wind Thunder Valley today!"

Jiang Chen glanced at Lei Xiong and his group, instantly assessing the dozen’s strength.

Lei Xiong himself is a late Integration Realm expert, and the remaining dozen are all early Integration Realm experts.

This formation, even outside the plains, wouldn’t be able to hunt Yan Li, on the contrary, it might get reverse hunted by him, but inside this abandoned plain, it indeed poses a threat to Yan Li.

Yan Li narrowed his eyes slightly, glancing at Lei Xiong’s companions, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes: "With just your kind, you think you can keep me, Yan Li?"

"Hehe, indeed Lei Xiong alone can’t keep you here, but what if we join him?"

A hearty laugh echoed, as two figures quickly darted from the town’s direction, immediately arriving beside Lei Xiong.

"Lei Bao! Lei Ying!"

Yan Li’s pupils contracted, a fiercely aggressive glint surfaced in his eyes: "Lei Yang Village indeed values me, Yan Li, sending three of its five warlords, but this is still not enough against me!"

Jiang Chen glanced at the two newcomers, raising an eyebrow slightly.

These two, like Lei Xiong, had late Integration Realm strength, a lineup strong enough to threaten Yan Li even outside!

"Brother Yan Li, we may not be able to keep you, but it’s more than enough to hold the ones you’re with."

Lei Ying smiled sinisterly, glancing at Jiang Chen and his companions.

"Kid, when I asked you to join my Lei Yang Village you didn’t listen, now your life is at stake, isn’t it?"

Lei Xiong coldly sneered at Jiang Chen: "If you come over now, I won’t press charges for your rudeness, plus I can share the necro sphere with you fifty-fifty, how about that?"

"Fifty-fifty? Sorry, I don’t like that ratio."

Jiang Chen replied with a faint smile.

"Hmph! Ungrateful kid, rest assured, I won’t kill you, your array master skills are still useful, but once captured, I’ll make you regret being alive!"

Lei Xiong sneered coldly.

"Mr. Jiang, I’ll hold off the three of them, you guys find a way to break out."

Yan Li spoke softly, his gaze icy as he looked at the trio of Lei Xiong and the others.

"Elder Yan Li, I’m the one who said there’s no need to worry, if I leave, wouldn’t that mean trouble for you?"

Jiang Chen smiled at Yan Li.
