219: Empty the dojo

The peaceful days didn't last long.

That day, Su Quan was casually Cultivating a Sword Technique in the courtyard.

The Immortal Power circulated within his body via the sword, which was also beneficial for recovering from his injuries.

Suddenly, a figure rushed up the mountain again.

It was Shennian Daoren, his white robe fluttering, looking distinguished, holding a Magical Artifact in his hand, and wearing an anxious expression.

When he saw Su Quan, he was startled for a moment, then nodded with a smile as a greeting, and walked straight into the Dao Field.

Su Quan made a beautiful Sword Flourish, sheathed his sword, and followed him curiously.

As soon as he stepped through the hall door, he heard Shennian Daoren's urgent voice: "Xiao Qing, Mother's efforts have yielded results. Many people in the Demon Sealing Prison have had their relationships smoothed out."

"That's great! Can my Revered Master be rescued then?" Xiao Ziyue asked excitedly.

Seeing this, Shennian Daoren looked troubled and sighed: "Sister Zi'er, getting her directly rescued is still not enough, but currently, we can ensure your Revered Master avoids the severe tortures of the Demon Sealing Prison, and her days will be more comfortable."

"I see!"

Xiao Ziyue was a little disappointed.

These past few days, she had dreamed of her most beloved Revered Master returning.

Xiao Qingyue, however, was already mentally prepared. She gently asked, "Brother Shennian, did you encounter any difficulties?"

"Hah!"

Shennian Daoren sighed heavily and slammed his hand angrily on the table: "As you know, my Mother is an Immortal Emperor. She spent some favors entrusting another Immortal Emperor to speak with the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Holy King."

"That woman said she could release your Revered Master, but a certain price must be paid..."

The two sisters exchanged glances, both seeing the determination in the other: "Brother Shennian, please speak freely. As long as we can rescue Revered Master, we are willing to pay any price."

"That woman is making an exorbitant demand! She directly asked for ten Extreme Grade Immortal Artifacts and ten thousand primal chaos spirit crystals." Shennian Daoren said with a worried face: "My Mother asked that Immortal Emperor to negotiate the price with her, but that woman just refused to budge. It's truly infuriating!"

"That much!"

Xiao Qingyue was startled.

Many Immortal Kings might not even be able to produce so much wealth.

"Is it a lot?"

Shennian Daoren was stunned for a moment, then tentatively whispered, "How about we first..."

"However, as long as we can rescue Revered Master, this price is worth it!"

Xiao Qingyue directly interrupted him. She hardened her heart and looked around her Revered Master's Dao Field. Many treasures here were collected by her Revered Master during her years traversing the Immortal Domain.

"Take everything here yourself. It should be enough for the price that woman demanded."

"This..."

Shennian Daoren made a few perfunctory refusals, then patted his chest and guaranteed: "Don't worry, my two younger sisters. I will definitely have Mother rescue your Revered Master."

After speaking, he couldn't hold back his smile, reached out, and put a High Grade Immortal Artifact, the Glazed Lamp, into his Spatial Ring.

Just then, Su Quan's voice inappropriately rang out again.

"Well... if this little bit of stuff could bribe the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Holy King, then the Demon Sealing Pagoda wouldn't have suppressed so many Devil Heads over the years."

That's right!

Xiao Qingyue was stunned for a moment.

The Demon Sealing Pagoda is a Deadly Place where many Devil Emperors have perished. Could they really not afford this small amount of treasure to save their lives?

Shennian Daoren's body stiffened. He immediately turned around and stared gloomily at Su Quan, Killing Intent flashing and vanishing instantly.

This Pretty Boy.

Daring to ruin Daoye's good fortune—he must be tired of living!

"Who are you? What do you know? Is it your place to speak here?"

"I am Sister Ziyue's person. Don't I have the right to speak?"

Su Quan giggled and hid behind Xiao Ziyue.

Xiao Ziyue was also a little unhappy, huffing, "Shennian Daoren, Xiao Quan was just asking a question. You don't need to overreact like this, right?"

"Fine, fine, fine. It seems you suspect me! Then Daoye won't rescue your Revered Master anymore. Let whoever wants to rescue her go ahead!"

Shennian Daoren Played His Trump Card.

Xiao Qingyue's expression changed slightly. Her cold gaze swept over Su Quan and Xiao Ziyue, and she warned, "Su Quan, younger sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Brother Shennian works hard for our Revered Master every day, yet you two are here spouting baseless slander, which only disheartens people."

"Hmph!"

Shennian Daoren lifted his head high, looking even more arrogant.

Seeing this, Xiao Qingyue's tone became stern: "Su Quan, younger sister, quickly apologize to Brother Shennian!"

"I'm sorry, Brother Shennian!"

Xiao Ziyue was very straightforward.

She wasn't doubting Shennian Daoren, she was just angry at Shennian Daoren's attitude toward Su Quan.

Su Quan smacked his lips, glanced at Shennian Daoren, then glanced at the stern-faced Xiao Qingyue, and said with a smile, "Sorry, Big Brother Shennian!"

"Hmph!"

Shennian Daoren glanced again at Su Quan's handsome face, which looked like it was asking for a punch, and muttered inwardly.

Don't think Daoye will forgive you just because you called me Big Brother.

Just you wait! Daoye will make sure you pay!

At this moment, Xiao Qingyue quickly stepped forward to mediate: "Brother Shennian, please don't be angry. They are still young and ignorant. For Qing'er's sake, please put more effort into helping Qing'er's Revered Master."

It wasn't that she had no suspicion at all, but she truly had nowhere else to turn for help.

Currently, her Revered Master's life could only be entrusted to Shennian Daoren.

Shennian Daoren took advantage of the situation, nodded slightly, and still maintained his haughty demeanor: "It's only because of you, Qing'er. Otherwise, who cares about this mess?"

After speaking, he reluctantly offered an explanation: "Do you think just some treasures can bribe the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Holy King? More importantly, it's the favor my Mother owes. You wouldn't be unaware of how significant an Immortal Emperor's favor is, would you?"

"To put it bluntly, even if you were sold a hundred times, ten thousand times, it wouldn't be enough to repay it!"

After hearing these words, Xiao Qingyue's trust increased significantly.

She said softly, "Thank you very much, Brother Shennian. If there's an opportunity in the future, Qing'er is willing to personally thank your Mother."

"Mmm, my Mother is very busy. Those Immortal Emperors are extremely busy people. Sometimes, even I, her son, might not see her for over a decade, so let's talk about thanking her in person when the opportunity arises later!"

Shennian Daoren offered a perfunctory excuse and then began shamelessly moving things out of the Dao Field.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the Dao Field that Dream Spirit Immortal King had managed for most of her life was completely emptied.

Under the expectant gazes of the two women, Shennian Daoren swaggered out.

It wasn't until he reached halfway down the mountain that he stopped, looked back, and the smile on his face could no longer be hidden.

"Those two foolish women are too easy to deceive. They didn't even learn half of their Revered Master's cunning."

"Daoye thought I might have to sacrifice a bit of my good looks, but it seems I worried too much."

"It's just... why is there a clever man next to those two idiots? He's quite an eyesore. I need to find a way to get rid of him!"

"That way, those two foolish sisters can generate Gold Coins for Daoye for the rest of their lives!"
