531: Chapter 531 Do you dare to buy it?

This scene in the Great Ming imperial court was also playing out in the central military tent of Southern Yue City. Long Yuan was watching it together with the heads of the three great Families—the Xu, Qi, and Geng. Seeing that the wind in the court had clearly shifted toward Long Yuan, the faces of Xu Chuanwei, Qi Xuming, and Geng Nanfeng all wore the smiles of old foxes...

Particularly seeing Fang Qihe and those four Grand Secretaries taking the lead in singing Long Yuan's praises, the three of them showed even more disdainful expressions. They were utterly contemptuous of the way these four Grand Secretaries, who had turned their backs on their little masters right in front of them, were steering according to the wind!

However...

That said, the three of them also had to admit in their hearts that those four Grand Secretaries were thick-skinned and bold. Once they decided that Long Yuan would gain power in the future, they immediately defected, not giving their original four masters any face at all. This was the cruelty of power struggles. Even if both sides were tightly bound in the struggle for succession, when the wind shifted, this little ship of friendship would capsize just like that!

The three of them turned back to Long Yuan, their expressions instantly changing. Geng Nanfeng was the first who couldn't hold back and spoke cautiously, "Long Yuan, I noticed that besides the Drone Units on the battlefield, there's also a Light-based weapon of immense power. Those dozen or so Sea Race super powerhouses must have been knocked into the river by that weapon, right?"

Long Yuan chuckled inwardly but replied calmly, "Senior's guess is correct. The weapon that knocked those people down was indeed a Light-based weapon!"

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!!!

After receiving confirmation from Long Yuan, the people in the tent could no longer contain themselves!

"Heavens, this weapon is too powerful! Such strong members of the Sea Race were taken out in a single shot!"

"Yeah, over a dozen experts at the Martial King Rank or above, gone just like that!"

"It's terrifying! How exactly was this weapon forged? I've never heard of such a Profound Weapon before."

"Profound Weapon? You still think that's a Profound Weapon? If you ask me, there's no problem calling it a Divine Artifact!"

"Exactly, exactly..."

Geng Nanfeng gestured for everyone to quiet down. Once the noise subsided, he continued, "I wonder what that Light-based weapon looks like? Could you let everyone have a look?"

"Actually, it's just a weapon attached to the qilin war chariot. As for its appearance, it's quite ordinary," Long Yuan said, casually summoning a Light screen to display the Laser Cannon's emitter...

"Just this?!!!" Everyone was stunned when they saw the Laser Cannon's emitter. They could hardly believe that the super weapon capable of casually killing over a dozen Martial Kings was actually this unremarkable-looking small device!

Indeed, this emitter was much smaller than a Mystic Cannon, only about the size of a human head. However, it could rotate 360 degrees freely, and its various firing ports were hidden beneath a layer of crystalline light...

Geng Nanfeng and the others were speechless. Could this head-sized emitter really shoot down those Martial Kings?!

Seeing everyone's dazed expressions, Long Yuan thought for a moment and pulled up a video of the Sea Race Martial Kings being killed. On the screen, the emitter suddenly brightened, and then a blindingly bright beam of light flashed out and vanished instantly!

Then, a Martial King's body jolted, a charred hole appearing in his chest. He didn't even have a chance to struggle before falling straight down!!!

"Heavens!!!" Everyone cried out in alarm, and they all sprang to their feet!

Even the three elders of the Xu Family, Qi Xuming, and Geng Nanfeng couldn't stay seated and stood up in shock, their faces turning pale with fright...

"Incredible!!!"

"This is simply too strong!"

"How exactly was this weapon forged?"

"It's over. If this kind of weapon were everywhere, wouldn't it be possible to kill people invisibly at any time?"

"Yeah, it's basically impossible to dodge! There's no time to react at all!"

"That's right. Light travels extremely fast. Once this emitter fires, the target is hit almost simultaneously. Even a Martial King has no time for any warning..."

There were many sharp-eyed people in the tent, and they quickly analyzed the terrifying and overbearing nature of the Laser Cannon. If a power possessed such a weapon, it would simply be the strongest deterrent force!!!

"Long Yuan, this Light-based weapon... can it be sold?" Geng Nanfeng asked stutteringly, his eyes full of longing. But as soon as he spoke, he knew he had misspoken, because he knew a weapon of this Rank couldn't be measured by mere money.

No amount of money could buy a deterrent weapon of this level!

However, following Geng Nanfeng's words, Xu Chuanwei and Qi Xuming also said at the same time, "I want to buy it too!!!"

Everyone looked at Long Yuan together. They knew that Long Yuan's attitude decided everything...

Long Yuan smiled, casually dismissed the Light screen, and said, "It can be sold! However..."

"What?! It can really be sold?!!!" Xu Chuanwei and the others cried out in disbelief.

"Heavens, as long as it's for sale, name your price!!!"

"Yeah, no matter how many you can sell, we'll take them all!"

"My clan will buy it even if we have to go bankrupt!"

"That's right!!!"

At this moment, everyone was incredibly generous, clearly making themselves out to be pigs waiting for Long Yuan to come and slaughter them...

One couldn't blame them for acting this way. If a Family had such a Light-based weapon that could casually strike down even a Martial King, the Family's foundation would be unimaginably deep. They would have so much more confidence when going out to handle business in the future!

Long Yuan waved his hand and asked, "I dare to sell it, but do you really dare to buy it?"

"This..." Everyone was stunned. Their previous fanatical energy instantly diminished, and their minds gradually cooled down...

Geng Nanfeng mused, "Does Young Master Yuan mean that we shouldn't buy it? Are you afraid we'll use it recklessly?! At the very least, my Geng Family will definitely use it with extreme caution and will never use such a Weapon of mass destruction casually!"

Qi Xuming echoed, "Exactly! Such a Weapon of mass destruction is only suitable as one of a Family's foundations, a deterrent against powerful enemies. It shouldn't be used lightly!"

Xu Chuanwei nodded and said, "Indeed! We can all see that for it to unleash such powerful destructive force, its consumption each time it's used must be enormous. Ordinary families simply couldn't afford it!"

Xu Chuanzhong said anxiously, "Ordinary families can't afford it, but my Xu Family doesn't care. As long as it has this kind of power, we aren't afraid of any amount of consumption!"

"Of course! Such a Weapon of mass destruction is actually prepared for great Families like ours!" Xu Chuanxin rarely agreed with Xu Chuanzhong for once.

Long Yuan shook his head and said, "Seniors, you've misunderstood me. I mean that with your current strength, possessing such a weapon is no different from inviting trouble. Not only will you be unable to keep it, but you'll also attract powerful enemies because of it, and it might even lead to the destruction of your families!!!"
