Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!-Chapter 449 - 303: Envoy of the Divine Martial Dynasty_2

"Messenger from the Divine Martial Dynasty!"

Upon hearing the words "Divine Martial Dynasty," the killing intent in Lu Zhen’s eyes became even more evident.

"Let him in!"

As soon as Lu Zhen’s words fell, the guard respectfully retreated.

A moment later.

The guard led a person in from outside the hall.

"Nanyue Mountain of the Divine Martial Dynasty, pays respects to Emperor Lu!"

Nanyue Mountain stood straight, neither kneeling nor bowing deeply, just a simple cupped-fist salute.

Seeing this, someone immediately shouted in anger.

"How dare you, seeing the Emperor and not kneeling!!"

"I am a subject of the Divine Martial Dynasty, why should I kneel to the people of the Star Dynasty?"

Nanyue Mountain glanced at the person, responding with a tone neither harsh nor mild.

The person’s face turned red upon hearing this and was about to continue scolding when Lu Zhen raised his hand to interrupt him.

"You are very bold to come here alone. Aren’t you afraid that I might kill you to avenge the fallen soldiers of the Star Dynasty?"

Lu Zhen looked at Nanyue Mountain with a dark expression, a cold killing intent emanating from him, and his words weren’t in the least insincere.

He really wanted to kill Nanyue Mountain.

Not long ago, the Star Dynasty had just faced a major defeat.

For Lu Zhen, seeing someone from the Divine Martial Dynasty now was hard to resist taking action against.

Feeling the killing intent from Lu Zhen, Nanyue Mountain’s face showed no fear at all.

"If Emperor Lu wants to kill me, it would indeed be an easy task."

"However, if I die, being accompanied by the many generals of the Star Dynasty in death wouldn’t be in vain either!"

Hearing these words.

Lu Zhen’s expression changed slightly.

"What do you mean by that?"

"It’s simple, I, Minister Nan, have come to make a deal with your dynasty, exchanging the lives of two King Generals and forty-three generals for a batch of resources."

Nanyue Mountain didn’t beat around the bush, directly stating his purpose for this trip.

His words.

Made Lu Zhen’s expression change.

He had thought that all the generals were wiped out, but hearing Nanyue Mountain now, many were still alive.

"How do you plan to make the trade?"

"It’s simple: for each King General, ten thousand jin of middle-grade Divine Blood Stone; for each general, one thousand middle-grade Divine Blood Stones for Dao Palace Realm, and ten thousand lower-grade Divine Blood Stones for Divine Transformation Realm!"

As soon as Nanyue Mountain finished speaking, the court officials’ expressions changed dramatically.

Divine Blood Stones are precious!

One jin of lower-grade Divine Blood Stone is equivalent to ten thousand jin of top-grade Spirit Stone.

And one jin of middle-grade Divine Blood Stone is equivalent to ten thousand jin of lower-grade Divine Blood Stone.

A top-tier Dao Palace cultivation technique, in terms of value, is only about ten thousand middle-grade Divine Blood Stones.

Now.

A Dao Palace Realm general required ten thousand middle-grade Divine Blood Stones.

Even for an ordinary Divine Transformation Realm general, the price was ten thousand lower-grade Divine Blood Stones.

You should know.

Ten thousand jin of lower-grade Divine Blood Stones, if used for cultivation, could produce one or two Peak Divine Transformation Realm cultivators.

And the Divine Transformation Realm generals Nanyue Mountain mentioned weren’t all Peak Divine Transformation Realm; some were only at the fifth or sixth layer.

However.

Despite Nanyue Mountain’s high price, Lu Zhen had no way to refuse.

Because if he refused, once the news got out, it would definitely dishearten people.

So.

Lu Zhen looked deeply at the opponent, and then coldly said.

"No problem, as long as you release the people, I will send the Divine Blood Stones to the Divine Martial Dynasty!"

"Heh, I, Minister Nan, though my cultivation is modest, am not new to the Martial World. Emperor Lu should not say such things again.

If Emperor Lu is sincere about the deal, then hand all the Divine Blood Stones to me and let me take them back to the Divine Martial Dynasty.

Within half a month, your dynasty’s generals will return to the Star Dynasty unharmed!"

Nanyue Mountain said this, not waiting for Lu Zhen to speak further, and continued.

"This is the bottom line of the Divine Martial Dynasty, no room for negotiation. If Emperor Lu is unwilling, you may well keep me here.

But my life, in exchange for forty-five generals, would be worth it!"

Silence!

Deathly silence!

Lu Zhen’s cold eyes stared at Nanyue Mountain, and the latter met his gaze without any hesitation.

After a long time.

Lu Zhen spoke in a deep voice.

"Very well, I agree to this!"

"Two King Generals, two hundred thousand middle-grade Divine Blood Stones, seventeen Tiaoist Palace Realm, one hundred seventy thousand middle-grade Divine Blood Stones, and twenty-six Divine Transformation Realm converts to middle-grade Divine Blood Stones, which would be around two hundred sixty jin.

However, I will waive the remainder of the two hundred sixty jin of middle-grade Divine Blood Stones. Emperor Lu only needs to pay three hundred seventy thousand jin of middle-grade Divine Blood Stones!"

Nanyue Mountain said generously.

But in Lu Zhen’s ears, his words were extremely grating.

The latter’s voice was indifferent, without any emotional fluctuation.

"The Star Dynasty doesn’t lack your two hundred sixty jin of middle-grade Divine Blood Stones!"

Afterward.

Lu Zhen ordered someone to go to the national treasury and bring thirty-seven thousand and two hundred sixty jin of Divine Blood Stones. After putting them into a storage ring, he handed it to Nanyue Mountain.

The latter’s Divine Thought probed into it, seeing the pile of Divine Blood Stones like a mountain; the tremendous blood energy made him secretly shocked.

Thirty thousand jin of middle-grade Divine Blood Stones is a truly astronomical number.

Honestly speaking.

Even as the Commander of the Heavenly Patrol Guard, Nanyue Mountain had never seen so many Divine Blood Stones.

If all thirty thousand jin of middle-grade Divine Blood Stones were exchanged for lower-grade ones, it would be over thirty billion.

After all.

The ratio of Divine Blood Stones is one to ten thousand.

Having such a batch of Divine Blood Stones in hand is self-evident for the Divine Martial Dynasty’s benefit.

"Emperor Lu is straightforward, and my Divine Martial Dynasty will not renege. Just wait until I return to the Nine States, then our dynasty will release the people!"

"Now that this matter is over, I will take my leave!"

With that, Nanyue Mountain cupped his hands, turned around, and left.

Watching his departing figure, Lu Zhen’s eyes filled with killing intent. He wanted to act immediately but restrained himself hard.

After all.

For a mere Divine Transformation Realm cultivator like Nanyue Mountain, it wasn’t worth sacrificing many generals of the Star Dynasty.

Other generals aside, but the two King Generals must be ransomed.

Gu Yan and An Youu are both prodigies likely to become Saints. Once the Great Struggle Prosperity Era arrives, the Star Dynasty will likely have two more Saints.

Exchanging tens of thousands of jin of middle-grade Divine Blood Stones for two future Saints is naturally worthy.

Furthermore, the Star Dynasty paying such a heavy price to redeem the defeated generals can win back the hearts of the ministers and the people.

Hence.

Lu Zhen could only let Nanyue Mountain leave.

...

On the other side.

After leaving the Star Dynasty’s imperial palace, Nanyue Mountain headed directly to the Nine States, not daring to delay for a moment.

He had no choice.

Carrying tens of thousands of jin of middle-grade Divine Blood Stones, he couldn’t help but be anxious.

If the news leaked out, no one could predict what might happen.

Even though Nanyue Mountain believed that as long as he remained within the Star Dynasty’s borders, Lu Zhen wouldn’t let anything happen to him.

But.

Nanyue Mountain didn’t want to gamble.

His own life was trivial, but losing tens of thousands of jin of middle-grade Divine Blood Stones would be a significant loss for the Divine Martial Dynasty.

Every moment of delay carried more danger.

So.

Nanyue Mountain dared not waste time.

However, along the way, Nanyue Mountain encountered no danger and smoothly returned to the Divine Martial Dynasty. Without rest, he went directly to see Gu Yang.

"Minister Nanyue Mountain pays respects to His Majesty!"

"Minister Nan, you’ve worked hard. How did it go?"

Gu Yang looked at the Nanyue Mountain before him and immediately asked.

The latter, upon hearing this, presented the storage ring with both hands.

"Inside are thirty-seven thousand and two hundred sixty jin of middle-grade Divine Blood Stones. Please, Your Majesty, inspect them!"

Upon hearing this.

Gu Yang’s heart trembled. He immediately took the storage ring, his Divine Thought probed inside, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face.

"Good, with these middle-grade Divine Blood Stones, our Divine Martial Dynasty’s strength should advance further!"
