Chapter 153

But rather an ordinary great cabbage you could find by the roadside!

"Name your price!"

Lord Chuan Ying's old face darkened.

The tone of his voice also turned somewhat cool and detached.

If not for that vague intuition telling him—

That the other party was truly, genuinely stronger than himself.

Perhaps at this moment, he would have long been unable to resist throwing down his tools and quitting!

After all.

This was a thousand-year spirit medicine!

Even serving as a retainer in the Great Sui, one wouldn't treat it like a great cabbage!

Moreover.

He was only asking a few pieces of information.

And two stalks of thousand-year spirit medicine weren't even enough!

That really is a bit too greedy!!

"Three stalks of thousand-year spirit medicine; additionally, take the champion's title at the Huashan Sword Discussion and hand over those two stalks of two-thousand-year spirit medicine to the Qinglong Society as well!"

"When the time comes, someone will come find you."

Ximen Wudi gave a light laugh.

And spoke his thoughts.

If it had been anyone else.

Let alone thousand-year spirit medicine.

Even ten-thousand-year spirit medicine.

If he was unwilling, he wouldn't care!

Even if he did care.

As long as he was unwilling, he would only kill and seize the treasure!

Therefore.

Rather than saying he had taken a fancy to these spirit medicines.

It was more like a test.

A test of Lord Chuan Ying's strength!

And whether he was worthy enough to be recruited by him!

"You....."

Han Gongdu and the others' faces darkened with anger.

Blazing fury flickered in their eyes.

This was simply bullying taken too far!

Is there anyone who opens their mouth so outrageously?

Three stalks of thousand-year spirit medicine would be one thing.

But they wouldn't even let go of the one stalk of two-thousand-year spirit medicine Song Huang had put up!

How greedy can you possibly be?!

However.

After only saying one word, Lord Chuan Ying raised his hand and cut them off.

His gaze fixed tightly on Ximen Wudi.

After quite a while.

Only then did he reply in concise terms.

"Fine!!"

Having said that.

He left the villa without looking back.

Seeing this, Li Gong and the others hurriedly followed.

Watching their figures slowly disappear.

The smile lingering at the corner of Ximen Wudi's mouth also quietly vanished.

Turning his head.

His cold, piercing gaze fell upon the hidden agent beside him.

As if sensing his gaze.

The hidden agent immediately dropped to his knees with a thud.

Lowering his head, he begged aloud

"M-my lord, spare me!"

As he spoke.

His entire body trembled uncontrollably.

His face was pale, drained of all color.

Even his forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat.

From this, one could see.

Just how terrified he was at this moment.

"Hah~"

"The Qinglong Society does not keep useless trash!"

"Kill yourself!"

Ximen Wudi let out a cold laugh.

His deep, dark eyes were filled with a look of utter indifference.

From the very moment the other party had brought people here,

he had already passed the death sentence on them in his heart!

It was only that his attention had been drawn away by Lord Chuan Ying.

That was why he had not bothered to settle the score right away.

But now,

Lord Chuan Ying had left, so naturally it was time to settle accounts!

Hearing these words,

the hidden agent's whole body gave a violent shudder.

A thick surge of regret welled up in his pupils.

In truth, he knew it clearly in his heart—

bringing people here just to save his own skin

would very likely end in a dead end.

Still, he wanted to gamble one last time!

But unfortunately,

he had gambled wrong!

And the price he paid was death!!

Thinking of this,

the hidden agent let out a bleak, bitter laugh.

Almost without the slightest hesitation,

his cultivation technique instantly began to circulate.

Then he let out a muffled grunt.

Traces of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

His whole body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

All signs of life were gone!
