317: Shen Tianxing never does a losing business!

As the saying goes, life is unpredictable!

Who would have thought?

A newly emerged Trading Firm would cause such a stir?

Just coming to buy some Cultivation resources, I never expected to witness the demise of so many Saints and Prodigies.

All the Cultivators still in Suspended City felt numb!

Numb from head to toe!

Especially after a few days of fermentation, the entire Suspended Island was in a state of tension.

The Cultivators coming and going are now discussing what the outcome of this incident will be. The top forces of the entire Inner Sea will definitely be enraged once they receive the news!

By then, the entire Suspended Island will likely be embroiled in trouble.

But the more this was the case, the more the Cultivators from various major forces dared not leave!

...At this moment!

Shen Tianxing, the instigator of everything, once again came to the ancient temple hidden deep in the mountains.

Inside the ancient temple, Eight Seas Bandits Chen Xuantong paced back and forth, his heart somewhat anxious, fearing that Shen Tianxing would not appear!

After all, so many Saints and Prodigies had died, a large portion of which were killed by their Eight Seas Bandits, and the rest were dealt with by other experts they hired.

They just wanted to get enough divine marrow and escape quickly!

Otherwise, once the experts from those top forces arrived, even if they had immense abilities, they wouldn't be able to escape!

It could be said that they were gambling with their lives!

"You look very flustered, are you scared?"

Just as he was thinking, a teasing voice came from outside the ancient temple. Chen Xuantong's heart rejoiced, and he quickly looked towards the person approaching. It was Shen Tianxing!

"You're finally here!"

Chen Xuantong breathed a sigh of relief. His arrival proved that the other party hadn't played him for a fool.

If Shen Tianxing hadn't come, Chen Xuantong wouldn't even know his identity, let alone where to find him.

By then, they would have suffered a huge loss!

"Don't worry, if you work for me, I won't treat you unfairly. You've done well recently!"

"These are yours!"

Shen Tianxing took out a sumeru ring and threw it towards Chen Xuantong.

Chen Xuantong quickly caught the ring, and his Divine Soul Power probed into it. Inside, a massive amount of divine marrow was piled up!

Two hundred thousand jin of divine marrow!!!

Not a single bit less!

Seeing this, Chen Xuantong's Adam's apple bobbed repeatedly, unsure of what he felt.

"This... isn't this too much? We didn't..."

Shen Tianxing raised his hand to stop him from continuing, saying, "To me, this divine marrow is nothing. This is what you deserve."

"The people I want, and the items on them, hand them over to me!"

Shen Tianxing never did business at a loss!

The treasures in the hands of these Saints were all bought from the Never Look Back Merchant Guild, and their value was considerable. With all of them recovered, the reward of two hundred thousand divine marrow was nothing at all!

Moreover, he believed Chen Xuantong was a smart person and would never dare to play tricks with him on this matter.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be leaving today!

As expected, Chen Xuantong immediately took out a soul banner. The soul banner could transform into a small space, capable of capturing people and objects, with infinite uses.

"The people you want are all here, and these sumeru rings were taken from them."

Chen Xuantong was a smart person and unhesitatingly produced everything he had obtained.

Shen Tianxing was also not polite. With the sumeru ring in hand, his Divine Soul Power surged into the sumeru ring like a tide, and all the treasures inside were clear at a glance!

Not a single one missing!

This result truly exceeded his expectations!

This was the Sea of Buried Demons!

It was simply unimaginable that Chen Xuantong and his Bandits could achieve this!

If it were other Cultivators, they would have probably already taken the treasures and fled!

As long as they escaped the pursuit of these top forces in the Inner Sea and went to other major regions, the value of these treasures would reach almost a million jin of divine marrow!

"Don't you feel any regret? The value here is considerable!"

Shen Tianxing looked at him with a half-smile. Chen Xuantong truly made him look at him in a new light.

These Bandits were not entirely useless!

Chen Xuantong heard this and smiled bitterly, "If you say we didn't have any thoughts at all, then you really think too highly of us."

"However, faced with these treasures, compared to my own life, I, Chen Xuantong, would rather save my life!"

From the first moment he saw Shen Tianxing, he knew that this impossibly young man was definitely not someone they could contend with.

He even felt that if Shen Tianxing wanted to kill him, it would be in an instant!

Would such a powerful figure have no preparations at all?

Even if they really took the treasures and ran, would he truly not be able to find them?

Chen Xuantong didn't think he could escape!

Simply because Shen Tianxing's origin was too mysterious, too young, and too strong!

A guy with such terrifying strength at such a young age would never do anything without certainty.

Shen Tianxing nodded, satisfied with his answer.

"You may go, take them and leave the Inner Sea."

Next, it would be a time of desperate escape, but as long as they left the Inner Sea, they would at least be safe and sound.

Chen Xuantong glanced at him, then gritted his teeth and said, "There are still two Saints alive in Suspended City. Why don't we deal with them together!"

Two hundred thousand divine marrow far exceeded their expectations, as not all the Saints were dealt with by them.

Several of them died inexplicably, and they didn't even know who was responsible.

Chen Xuantong intended to forge a connection with Shen Tianxing, which is why he decided to take the risk.

In the entire Suspended City, the only two remaining Saints were Li Xingdou of Canxing Hall and Zhong Moli of Feiyu Hall!

These two were the strongest Saints, and also the most difficult to deal with!

Chen Xuantong and his group had spent a lot of time just to discover their whereabouts, but acting against them was not easy.

They were in Suspended City, hidden too deeply!

"No need."

"I have my own uses for these two. You may just leave the Inner Sea."

Chen Xuantong was quite skilled in dealing with people, so Shen Tianxing didn't mind giving them a hint.

Suspended City would soon become a gathering place for various top forces. If they didn't leave, there would only be a dead end!

As for Zhong Moli and Li Xingdou?

These were two excellent chess pieces; he still had great use for them!

"Farewell until we meet again!"

Chen Xuantong respectfully cupped his fists and bowed, then turned and left without looking back.

For them, everything in Suspended City was no longer their concern.

Shen Tianxing watched him leave, shaking his head.

"This Chen Xuantong is a man who knows how to adapt to circumstances. If there's an Opportunity in the future, he can still be used."

Chen Xuantong's actions pleased him.

Shen Tianxing, however, had kept a trick up his sleeve, leaving a mark on Chen Xuantong. No matter where they ran, if they truly dared to flee with the sumeru rings of those Saints, then Shen Tianxing would definitely eliminate all of them!

"It's your turn!"

Shen Tianxing's gaze fell on the soul banner in his hand. His Divine Soul probed into it, and he could see dozens of Saints and Prodigies lying inside, listless.

These people had all been severely injured, completely unable to resist!

And in Shen Tianxing's hands, they naturally couldn't escape death!

Boom!!!

A magnificent force vibrated, and the Saints and Prodigies, still in a coma, were instantly killed by Shen Tianxing!

They didn't even know how they died!

..."Tsk tsk tsk... As expected of Saints, even with the same Realm and Cultivation, the experience points they provide are not comparable to ordinary Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Cultivators."

"This time's harvest was truly profitable!"

On the soul slaying platform, bright red lights shone, and a massive amount of experience points, along with even more treasures dropped after killing these Saints.

People are different!

Even two Cultivators with the same Cultivation would yield different experience points.

This depends not only on personal strength but also on individual Aptitude, talent, and the Cultivation Technique, Physique, Bloodline... and many other factors.

Simply put, the Saints and Prodigies of these major forces were far more valuable than ordinary Cultivators.

How valuable exactly?

Let's put it this way!

Although these Prodigies of major forces had not yet entered the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, the experience points they provided were basically ten, or even dozens of times, that of ordinary Cultivators of the same Realm.

As for Saints, it was even more so!

The value of experience points for each Saint, compared to Cultivators of the same Realm, differed by at least a hundredfold!

This was a qualitative leap!

Although the number of these Saints and Prodigies was not large, totaling less than a hundred, their quality was too high!

Heavenly Phenomenon Realm experts were too difficult to kill!

Even in the Sea of Buried Demons, where experts were as numerous as clouds, killing a Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Cultivator required weighing the pros and cons!

One, they were difficult to kill. Second, even if killed, it would be hard to escape the pursuit of the opposing force. Without sufficient benefits, no one would do such a thing!

If Shen Tianxing hadn't used two hundred thousand jin of divine marrow this time, how could experts of the Eight Seas Bandits' caliber willingly take such a risk?

Simply because he gave too much!

Relying solely on the Eight Seas Bandits and their kind, without a mine in hand, it would be unrealistic to obtain enough divine marrow for Cultivation!

Fortunately, the final result was quite satisfying.

"Time is almost up. The people from those forces should have received the news by now."

"There are still two guys left, and it's time for them to play their part!"

Shen Tianxing looked up at the dim sky, a faint blood-red hue appearing in the Void Realm, as if stained with fresh blood... Inside Suspended City.

People were in a state of panic, and the news of the demise of many Saints continued to spread.

Until this day, two figures appeared before the public, making many Cultivators feel a hint of abnormality.

Li Xingdou and Zhong Moli suddenly appeared in Suspended City!

The appearance of these two Saints greatly surprised all the Cultivators in the city!

"Li Xingdou of Canxing Hall and Zhong Moli of Feiyu Hall, why are they here? Don't they know that all the Saints and Prodigies from top forces who came here recently have all perished?"

"I think they arrived long ago, but just haven't shown themselves. Their strength is different from other Saints; they are already among the top twenty on the holy son ranking, with formidable strength, not someone the Eight Seas Bandits and their ilk can deal with, right?"

"That's true, but in my opinion, it's still too ostentatious. Elder Baixuan and those guys are all here. If they attacked together, these two wouldn't be able to resist, would they?"

"Have you ever seen someone who killed so many Saints and still dared to stay here waiting to die? Chen Xuantong and Elder Baixuan are not fools!"

"You guys, is there a possibility? That this matter is related to these two Saints?"

Hiss—

Hearing someone say this, many Cultivators' hair stood on end!

Among the top forces of the Inner Sea, One Sect and Three Halls were the strongest!

If it was really these major Sects targeting the Six Mansions and Twelve Caves, then there might indeed be such a possibility!

However, if this news were true, it would be too terrifying. Once confirmed, it would likely trigger a major war in the Inner Sea!

As the saying goes, speaker has no intention, listener takes it to heart!

If enough people spread it, even if there's no possibility, it will arouse suspicion.

"These guys are so bored that they're trying to link this matter to us. They're practically looking for death!"

On Li Xingdou's cold face, there was a layer of frost!

Zhong Moli, however, said calmly, "It's useless to kill them. For you and me to safely leave, we must appear before others. Otherwise, if our traces are discovered later, that would truly invite criticism!"

"Moreover, when we return to the Sect, the people of the Six Mansions and Twelve Caves won't be foolish enough to think that we participated in this!"

The reason Zhong Moli and Li Xingdou openly showed themselves was to prove that they had no involvement in this matter.

With the strength of those major Sects, finding clues wouldn't be too difficult. Their first priority was to distance themselves.

Only by doing so would they prevent their Sect from being put in a passive position.

"Alright, then let's leave quickly and make plans after returning to the Sect!"

Li Xingdou didn't want to stay here for another moment.

Originally, he had only hidden his identity to come here to purchase Cultivation resources and some treasures. Who would have thought that so many Saints would be killed?

They were also uneasy!

They always felt that there was an invisible hand behind this, manipulating everything.

If it were just the Eight Seas Bandits, Elder Baixuan, and their kind, they would never dare to attack them. Even if they did, they couldn't deal with the two of them.

The flying boat left the Suspended Island and sped away into the distance.

In the city, at the top floor of the Never Look Back Merchant Guild!

Shen Tianxing, Fairy Liu, and Xing Yao stood on the pavilion, watching the golden flying boat rapidly depart, looking extremely conspicuous amidst the crimson sunset.

"Are you planning to let these two go back? This doesn't seem to fit your personality."

Fairy Liu took a sip of wine, somewhat perplexed.

Given Shen Tianxing's personality, the strength of these two Saints, surpassing all other Saints, would be of great help to his Cultivation of the Path of Killing. There was no reason to let them go.

Xing Yao pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "When has Fairy Liu ever seen him let a tiger return to the mountains? This is fat meat delivered right to his mouth, isn't it?"

Meaning, you don't know him well enough.

Shen Tianxing, standing nearby, smiled and said, "Actually, I really do plan to let them go back. However, I won't just let them go back like this."

Upon hearing this, both women glared at him!

What did he mean by that?

Playing both sides?

Liu Yueying covered her mouth and chuckled softly, but dared not make a sound.

The master is so miserable...

"Don't worry, they are definitely going to die, but they won't die without knowing why."

"Our foundation is too shallow. The news of all the Saints in Suspended City perishing must have already reached the ears of those forces. The major forces will certainly not let this rest."

"For the Never Look Back Merchant Guild to stand firm, their living departure is far more valuable than their dying here."

Diverting trouble!

Or rather, it's more appropriate to say confusing the eyes and ears of the various forces, making things more complicated. Even if experts from various forces come to investigate later, the Never Look Back Merchant Guild can be cleared!

It won't arouse suspicion from all sides!

This was Shen Tianxing's purpose in keeping them.

Fairy Liu also forgot Shen Tianxing's deliberate prevarication just now, rolled her eyes and said, "Stop being mysterious, quickly tell me what method you'll use!"

This was the familiar taste!

"Have you ever heard of the Soul Demon Poison?"

Shen Tianxing asked with a smile, a peculiar light flickering in his eyes.

Xing Yao said, "Soul Demons are rumored to be ancient Yao Race, but the current Soul Demons have long lost their ancient splendor. As far as I know, the Soul Power of Soul Demons is extremely poisonous, killing people invisibly."

"Unfortunately, they are too rare now!"

Then, her eyes widened, and she said, "Don't tell me... you even have this?"

If such a treasure truly existed, then it would be no difficult task for Shen Tianxing to silently deal with Li Xingdou and Zhong Moli!

"By chance, but not much. It should be enough to deal with these two guys!"

The rewards from the soul slaying platform came in all sorts of varieties, and he had kept some special treasures without taking them out.

The Divine Soul of this ancient Soul Demon was obtained when he was clearing the Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm earlier.

This time, it just happened to come in handy.

Not only could it ensure their safe return to their Sect, but it could also quietly take their lives. Even if an investigation was launched, the cause of death wouldn't be found!

This was the effect he wanted!
