43: Holy crap! One hundred thousand taels!

"Fine!" The youth called Young Master Li responded, then turned to Jiang Ye with a smug look and said, "To die at my hands is an honor for you..." Pfft! "Argh..."

One of Young Master Li's arms was chopped off by Shi Bao, who had appeared out of nowhere.

Shi Bao said, "Young Master? I think you've become a dog now, hahahaha!"

"Young Master!" Several of Young Master Li's servants were shocked and rushed over, attacking Shi Bao!

Pfft, pfft, pfft... While they were focused on Shi Bao, Jiang Ye and Shi Feng took the opportunity to decapitate them with a few swift slashes.

Seeing how ruthless these youths were, others didn't dare to intervene for fear of bringing trouble upon themselves.

Jiang Ye stepped forward and stomped on the woman's face, pinning her down. "Xiao Feng! You bastard, you said I wouldn't have the heart to kill her? I'll chop her head off right now and show you!"

Immediately after, Jiang Ye raised his long blade and was about to strike when a middle-aged man appeared and shouted, "Little brother! Stop! Spare her life, and you can name any price."

"Hmm?" Jiang Ye lowered his blade and asked, "So, how much is her life worth?"

"Name your price! Just spare her life."

Jiang Ye looked at Shi Feng and the other. This was their first time traveling, and they lacked experience. Suddenly, he saw a young man not far from the VIP area repeatedly mouthing words at them.

Shi Feng reacted quickly, stepped forward, and said, "One hundred thousand taels!"

"Huh?" Jiang Ye and Shi Bao were also startled. He wanted that much?

The middle-aged man immediately pulled out silver notes worth one hundred thousand taels and said, "Fine! Here are the silver notes. Take them!"

Two words simultaneously popped into the minds of Jiang Ye and the others: Holy crap!

Shi Feng was still a step faster. He reached out to take the silver notes and said, "Let's go!"

Jiang Ye lifted his foot, releasing the woman, and followed the other two out of the area to a less crowded spot.

Shi Bao said in surprise, "Holy crap! One hundred thousand taels! Xiao Feng, why did you ask for so much?"

"Hehehe! Little brothers, I should get a share of this, right?" The young man who had been mouthing words to them earlier walked over.

"Who are you?" Shi Bao asked.

"I'm Guan Teng. As for why I get a share, ask him!" He gestured toward Shi Feng.

Shi Feng said, "I'll give you ten thousand taels. We're the ones taking all the risks."

"Deal! You're the smartest of the three. Ten thousand it is. Hurry up, let's not get caught."

Shi Feng gave him ten thousand in silver notes. Guan Teng took the money and immediately left them to avoid suspicion.

Jiang Ye said, "That guy was the one speaking earlier. I couldn't tell how much he was saying, but luckily you were quick to react."

Shi Bao said, "That bastard, he made ten thousand taels so easily. So, do we each get thirty thousand?"

"Here! Thirty thousand each. Let's go! Let's get a big meal first."

Shi Bao took the silver notes and said with a grin, "I didn't expect to make so much money at once."

Jiang Ye said, "There will be trouble later. Don't get ahead of yourself; we all need to be careful."

Shi Feng said, "Ye Zai is right. After taking so much money, they won't let us off easily."

"We must stay together. It'll be trouble if they corner us individually."

Shi Bao said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, these people aren't strong. Even the one who gave the money was only at the fifth stage of the Earth Profound Realm."

"Have you forgotten the Sect Master's warning? Just because the people on the surface aren't strong doesn't mean they don't have stronger experts hiding in the shadows ready to strike."
