The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 856 - 274: Damn, This Kid Pulled It Off Again!

"Besides, from start to finish, I’ve never touched anything in this Thousand Illusions Cave. I let you have all the benefits."

Upon hearing this, Xuanqiu fell silent, as if agreeing with the reasoning.

"Feng, now I’m practically homeless. Considering we’re neighbors, give me a fair price!" Xuanqiu sighed slightly.

Zhou Qing immediately laughed, a hint of cunning in his eyes, and said, "Alright, I’m not one to ask for too much. Flat rate, fifty top-grade Wood Attribute Spirit Stones."

Flood Dragon Emperor: "..."

"The Human Race has a saying I find quite good: They say a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as one’s own doghouse. I think my own Blood Prison Mountain is actually quite nice."

Xuanqiu said earnestly.

Zhou Qing chuckled and said, "Hey, there’s no outsiders here, we can negotiate, can’t we? Forty stones, really can’t go any lower."

Xuanqiu hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Feng, this isn’t about Spirit Stones, it’s just that I’m attached to home. After all, I’ve managed Blood Prison Mountain for so many years, it’s truly a bit hard to let go so suddenly."

Zhou Qing furrowed his brow slightly, with a hint of impatience in his tone: "Thirty stones, that’s my final bottom line!"

Xuanqiu showed a bitter expression, saying helplessly, "Feng, you’ve seen what Thousand Illusions Cave is like now."

"These past few years, they’ve snatched quite a bit of good stuff too, and now they’ve just washed their hands of the whole mess and left it for me."

Zhou Qing’s expression had turned extremely displeased, and he even looked at Flood Dragon Emperor with a hint of murderous intent, coldly saying, "Stop talking, fifteen stones, deal or no deal, that’s it!"

Surely a dignified Spirit Severing Realm master wouldn’t have trouble coming up with such a small amount.

Xuanqiu saw Zhou Qing’s displeasure and realized he had tested the limit.

Besides, being able to extract something was actually beneficial; otherwise, receiving such a large territory without anything in return, he wouldn’t feel at ease even if he guarded it.

He quickly said, "Fine, fifteen stones it is!"

Zhou Qing: "..."

Damn, should have asked for more!

"Three days, no more than three days, I’ll personally deliver them to Great Demon Mountain!" Xuanqiu held up three fingers and said.

Zhou Qing extended his hand directly and said coldly, "Now."

"Now?" Xuanqiu was stunned, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Zhou Qing slightly furrowed his brow, saying, "Yes, urgently needed, what’s the issue?"

Xuanqiu hurriedly shook his head, then clenched his teeth, and tapped his Storage Bag. Fifteen top-grade Wood Attribute Spirit Stones radiating soft green light appeared in his hand.

Zhou Qing cursed repeatedly in his heart.

Why drag out a simple task for three days, go in such a big circle?

But he maintained a calm expression, suppressing his inner dissatisfaction.

"Thank you!" Zhou Qing still excitedly received the Spirit Stones, a trace of undisguisable delight in his eyes.

Xuanqiu felt a pinch in his heart but forced a smile and said, "Feng, actually I need a favor from you..."

Zhou Qing interrupted before he could finish, "I have a lot to handle recently, and I suspect you’re quite busy too."

"The Human Race’s border is just days away from launching training at Blood Prison Mountain, better relocate anything important soon!"

"We’ll talk about any issues next time, I’ve got some things to attend to, I’m off now!"

After speaking, Zhou Qing’s figure flickered, transforming back into a Golden-winged Roc, spreading his wings wide and leaving without hesitation.

After all, Second Uncle’s puppet had a time limit, he knew this too well.

Moreover, now that the money is secured, Xuanyuan Shuo’s task is completed, a new balance is established among the Demon Emperors.

Staying any longer would risk exposure.

Watching the figure turning into a golden dot in an instant, Flood Dragon Emperor Xuanqiu scratched his head.

Why does something feel off, but can’t put a finger on it?

Upon witnessing this, Xuanyuan Shuo shook his head slightly, then moved his figure swiftly to catch up.

"You return to the border first, I have some matters to handle!"

After speaking, he directly tore through space, chasing the direction where Red Evil Tiger Venerable fled.

An equilibrium is needed at the border, but so is restraint; mutual suspicion is the best balance.
