131: Offering help? I only care about money!
Chen Xian said with a smile, "No, the only ones likely to die here are you!"
Hearing this, the Prodigies of the Heavenly Sword Sect were instantly filled with confusion!
"What do you mean by that?"
They had entered the Danger Zone much earlier than Chen Xian.
Naturally, they hadn't noticed what kind of waves this Marquis of Jubei had stirred up.
They only felt that this kid was acting a bit pretentious.
At this moment, a white-robed Sword Cultivator said loudly, "Fellow Daoist, I am Zhao Yan, the Eldest Senior Brother of the Heavenly Sword Sect! If you help us deal with these Ancient Fiend Dragons, our Heavenly Sword Sect will surely reward you handsomely!"
"What kind of reward?"
Chen Xian narrowed his eyes and asked, "I'm the type who likes to settle the ugly business before acting like a gentleman!"
"Tell us what you can give us first, then we can help!"
However, a Sword Cultivator beside Zhao Yan couldn't restrain his short temper.
He cursed angrily, "Eldest Senior Brother, these guys are standing by and watching us die, and they even want to take advantage of our crisis. If we die, these beasts will definitely slaughter them too!"
This person was exactly the one who had first asked Chen Xian and the others for help!
The faces of Gu Qingcheng and Zheng Yi darkened.
If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.
If they didn't act, they feared they really might die here.
As for the Embroidered Uniform Guards, they all placed their hands on their sword hilts.
However, without Pei Ning's command.
They absolutely did not dare to act rashly.
But Chen Xian still said unhurriedly, "You're being quite dishonest!"
"Although Ancient Fiend Dragons are fierce, they aren't Yao Beasts that kill indiscriminately."
"You must have provoked them, right?"
Chen Xian's words sent a jolt through the hearts of these Heavenly Sword Sect Prodigies!
Because what he said was exactly the truth.
Originally, they also wanted to head toward the Place where the Sword Saint Fell.
But they didn't expect to see Ancient Fiend Dragons on the way.
One of them, being impulsive, said there was only one Ancient Fiend Dragon, and if they killed it, whether it was the Inner Core or the flesh and bones, it would be a priceless treasure.
As a result, they didn't expect that killing one would attract a whole pack!
This left them unable to move an inch within the valley.
They thought that if Chen Xian and his group came over, they could relieve some of the pressure.
But they hadn't expected Chen Xian to expose the truth with a single word.
For a moment, these people were extremely embarrassed.
As for Gu Qingcheng and the Embroidered Uniform Guards, they also realized this point.
It really was just as Chen Xian had said.
Right now, they were only a hundred meters or so away from the Ancient Fiend Dragons.
Yet they were perfectly safe.
It seemed the Ancient Fiend Dragons truly held a deep grudge.
"Young Lord, how did you know?"
Zhou Duoer's eyes were filled with stars.
She felt that the Young Lord before her was omnipotent.
Chen Xian said with a grin, "Guess!"
Zhou Duoer: "..."
Standing on Chen Xian's shoulder, the Moon Demon rolled its eyes wildly.
Dammit, I'm the one who told you!
What are you showing off for!
At that moment, however, Zhao Yan blocked the sharp claw of a massive Ancient Fiend Dragon with his sword.
He then said, "What does Fellow Daoist want?"
Even if they were being extorted.
It was still better than being completely wiped out here.
Chen Xian said with a smile, "Ten million Spirit Stones!"
"And I'll guarantee you all stay alive!"
Hiss!
Hearing this, the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect instantly gasped!
"Ten million Spirit Stones? Why don't you just go and rob someone?"
They were the new generation of Prodigies of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Hailed by the Sect as Core Disciples and cultivated with great focus.
Their resources were even more numerous than could be counted.
But even so, it was impossible for them to produce ten million!
Chen Xian shrugged.
"Since you're unwilling, then forget it!"
Then he said to Gu Qingcheng, "In a while, if they die, the Ancient Fiend Dragons will naturally leave!"
"When that time comes, everything on them will belong to us as well!"
Chen Xian's words were the final straw that broke the camel's back for the Heavenly Sword Sect!
Because if they didn't pay.
That truly would be the final outcome!
Were they really going to die here?
No!
Ten million it is!
Zhao Yan shouted, "We agree!"
"Kill these beasts, and we will naturally give you ten million Spirit Stones!"
Chen Xian said with a smile, "Good."
He looked back at Pei Ning.
"You guys, take action!"
"You..."
Chen Xian suddenly held a sword to his own neck.
"Could it be that you don't want to live either?"
With a darkened face, Pei Ning looked toward the dozens of Ancient Fiend Dragons ahead.
"Go, drive them away!"
"Yes!"
Although the ten Embroidered Uniform Guards were reluctant.
Once they thought about how they wouldn't survive returning to the Capital if Chen Xian died, they immediately acted.
They all began to take action.
With the cooperation of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
The pressure on the Heavenly Sword Sect was drastically reduced.
In just half an hour.
These Ancient Fiend Dragons finally left the valley unwillingly.
By this point, the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect were already exhausted.
They slumped onto the ground one by one.
Zhao Yan said, panting, "Take out all your Spirit Stones and pool together ten million!"
One of the Heavenly Sword Sect Disciples looked aggrieved.
"Eldest Senior Brother, are we really giving it?"
"After we give it, I'm afraid we'll be penniless!"
"Otherwise, what? We let them kill us instead?"
In fact, Zhao Yan had also considered the possibility of not paying.
However, Chen Xian and the two women remained perfectly calm.
It seemed he wasn't afraid of them not paying at all.
The more it was like this, the more wary Zhao Yan became.
After all, they had been struggling with the Ancient Fiend Dragons for a long time.
Unlike Chen Xian and his group, who had been waiting at their leisure.
Right now.
Going to that Place where the Sword Saint Fell was the most important thing!
If they obtained the Opportunity and Legacy.
These people dying under their swords would only be a matter of time.
These ten million Spirit Stones can just be considered life-buying money stored with them for now!
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan collected the money even faster.
Soon, ten million Spirit Stones were gathered.
Zhao Yan walked up to Chen Xian.
"Fellow Daoist, here are the ten million Spirit Stones!"
Chen Xian gave a hum of acknowledgment.
After taking the storage ring containing the ten million Spirit Stones.
He decisively put it away.
This scene had already left Gu Qingcheng and Zheng Yi dumbfounded.
In just half an hour.
This man hadn't even moved a finger.
Yet he had earned ten million Spirit Stones!
Moreover, he had even made the Imperial Court's Embroidered Uniform Guards work for him.
Such a thing was something that Gu Qingcheng and Zheng Yi, these two Scions of aristocratic families, wouldn't even dare to dream of at night!
Yet, this scene was truly appearing before them.
It simply gave them the feeling of being in a dream.
"Fellow Daoist, may I ask what your name is?"
Chen Xian said with a grin, "I don't change my name when traveling, nor my surname when resting! I am Chen Xian, the Marquis of Jubei of the North Continent's Da Gan Dynasty!"
Hearing Chen Xian directly announce his name.
Almost everyone subconsciously cursed him as an idiot in their hearts.
The Shanhai Secret Realm was unmonitored.
Precisely because of this!
Here, whether it was killing for treasure or robbery, one could act without restraint.
No one would fear you because of your status, because if you died inside, no one would know who killed you!
Everyone relied entirely on strength!
As for why the Heavenly Sword Sect had introduced themselves at the start, it was actually to get Chen Xian and the others to help them quickly!
