503: Chapter 503 Fortune Lies in Peril

The pressure from both Zhan Xiao and Ji Yuan collided, their powerful auras enveloping the entire area!

Some of the weaker individuals turned pale, their bodies involuntarily bending over.

They couldn't withstand these two pressures!

If these two Tenth Rank experts were to fight here, they could destroy this restaurant in an instant!

At the critical moment, Yun Yi spoke up, "You two, you're breaking the rules!"

As soon as he spoke, Ji Yuan and Zhan Xiao's auras stagnated.

Zhan Xiao looked coldly at Ji Yuan. "Repeatedly breaking the rules—is this the standard of the Ice Demon Clan? If so, you're truly unworthy of being called a major power."

Ji Yuan stared at him with a distorted expression. "Sharp-tongued as always. Zhan Xiao, you'd better pray you don't fall into my hands!"

Zhan Xiao sneered. "Is talking big all you're good at?"

"What did you say?!"

They were on the verge of fighting over a single disagreement.

"Enough!"

A cold voice rang out as Miss Ji Yue finally stepped forward.

She glanced at Ji Yuan and said indifferently, "Leave the rest to me. Stand aside and watch."

Ji Yuan's lips twitched, but then he snorted coldly, giving Miss Ji Yue face.

Zhan Xiao joked, "Oh! A sister complex, is it?"

Miss Ji Yue ignored his provocation and said calmly, "Don't bring such petty tricks to the table."

Zhan Xiao's smile turned cold. "What do you want to play?"

Miss Ji Yue's gaze passed Zhan Xiao, looking at the figure on the private booth's screen. She said indifferently, "My Ice Demon Clan bids thirty thousand source crystals!"

After a breath of silence, a calm voice spoke, "Thirty thousand and one."

Miss Ji Yue remained expressionless. "Forty thousand!"

Fang Bai: "Forty thousand and one!"

"..."

Everyone's expression turned strange. In fact, many experts had already quietly slipped away.

Cutting their losses in time, otherwise, they would just become cannon fodder.

"Eighty thousand!"

"Eighty thousand and one!"

Behind Miss Ji Yue, Ji Yuan stared at Fang Bai's figure, his eyes filled with killing intent.

This bastard was purely trying to be disgusting!

"One hundred thousand!"

Miss Ji Yue spoke indifferently.

Fang Bai didn't raise the price this time. Instead, he asked, "Does Miss Ji Yue actually have that many source crystals on her?"

One hundred thousand source crystals, based on the output of a source vein, would take a full half-year to produce!

And the Ice Demon Clan didn't seem to possess a source vein.

Miss Ji Yue remained expressionless. "I have them. You'd better have them too."

She took out a ring.

Immediately, several divine senses swept into the ring.

Inside the ring, there were indeed one hundred thousand source crystals!

Yun Yi's face was now beaming with joy.

One hundred thousand source crystals!

Wasn't this huge sum of money better than an elusive source vein?

At worst, he could just run away after finishing this deal!

Miss Ji Yue stared at Fang Bai. "It's time to verify your funds. If you don't have enough source crystals yet continue to raise the price, you will be an enemy of my Ice Demon Clan, and our two clans will fight to the death!"

As soon as she said this, the room fell silent.

Anyone could see that Miss Ji Yue was serious. This woman had been holding back for a long time; she might strike at any moment!

Fang Bai smiled and slowly walked out, a young face appearing in everyone's sight.

So young?

Such a young cultivator dared to make an enemy of the Ice Demon Clan? How powerful must the force behind him be?

Fang Bai looked at Miss Ji Yue—or more accurately, at the ring in her hand—and said with a smile, "Good, very good!"

There was actually another huge sum of money.

Then she definitely had to be killed!

But there was no rush.

Fang Bai took out a ring—it was the moon god ring—but he didn't open it to others, only to Yun Yi.

The latter's mind shifted, and his divine sense entered the moon god ring. Whatever he saw made his eyes widen, looking at Fang Bai in disbelief!

Wary, solemn, shocked...

His expression was witnessed by everyone, leading to widespread confusion.

Miss Ji Yue and the others' expressions darkened; their intuition told them it was bad news!

Yun Yi withdrew his divine sense with a complex gaze, then slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Fang has the capital to bid!"

Hearing this, Miss Ji Yue's face immediately turned unsightly.

Fang Bai looked at Miss Ji Yue, his smile unchanged. "One hundred thousand... and one!"

Miss Ji Yue's expression shifted. She desperately wanted to know what was inside Fang Bai's ring that could make Yun Yi say such a thing.

Ji Yuan, meanwhile, had his eyes on Fang Bai's ring.

As long as he killed him, the ring would be his!

So, he sent a secret transmission to Miss Ji Yue.

Yun Yi took another look at Fang Bai's figure, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.

He hadn't expected this young man to be carrying a source vein on him!

An entire source vein!

Looking at the entire second-level civilization, how many forces possessed a complete source vein?

Only two or three!

And Fang Bai possessed one all by himself!

While shocked, Yun Yi was also incredibly wary.

He had previously guessed that Fang Bai came from the Star Domain Alliance; now, it seemed that guess might actually be somewhat credible!

In that case, making an enemy of him would be a dead end!

But... wealth is sought amidst danger; the bigger the waves, the more valuable the fish!

If... he thought if he planned it properly, he could seize the source vein, then change his name and develop in secret...

After all, a source vein was too tempting!

Of course, he wasn't stupid. Since Fang Bai dared to show it to him, he naturally had something to fall back on. He could only sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight, letting the Ice Demon Clan people clash with the other party, and then strike after both sides were exhausted!

On the other side, Elder Kong took another look at Fang Bai but didn't say anything.

Meanwhile, in another private booth, the "person" inside was also watching Fang Bai with an inscrutable gaze.

After hearing Ji Yuan's reminder, Miss Ji Yue's face suddenly calmed down. She looked at Fang Bai and revealed a smile: "Since you want it, then it's yours."

Her current action was just like what Elder Kong had done to them earlier!

However, the price Fang Bai had to pay was even greater!

One hundred thousand source crystals!

She wanted to see what Fang Bai would do!

Fang Bai looked at Yun Yi and suddenly grinned. "President Yun, how about we form a good connection?"

Yun Yi was stunned, then his expression became a bit strange. "Do you mean, Fellow Daoist Fang, that I give this to you for free, and you owe me three favors?"

Fang Bai cursed inwardly: Profiteer!

He held up one finger. "One favor, and..."

He tossed over a storage ring; it was exactly the source crystals he had previously extorted from the Ancient Merchant Guild.

Emperor Fang would first store his things with someone else and take them back when the time was right.

Seeing this, everyone else's expressions turned strange.

Ji Yuan and the others looked grim, their stares at Fang Bai seemingly ready to spit fire.

After pondering for a long while, Yun Yi suddenly smiled. "I accept this favor from Fellow Daoist Fang."

With that, he sent the scabbard and the sword to Fang Bai together.

Thus, the scabbard ended up in Fang Bai's hands.

Elder Kong shook his head and said slowly, "A fine move."

Miss Ji Yue stared intently at Fang Bai. This damned human actually dared to play her for a fool!

Fang Bai examined the scabbard, a look of satisfaction appearing in his eyes. He was wondering whether he should test its power.

Thinking this, he looked toward Miss Ji Yue.

The latter: ???
