From A Stronghold NPC To The Final BOSS

446 Chapter 446-who dares to escape

Within Shi Jue clan.

All the elders were stunned.

“What? are you not willing to share the sect’s worries?” Bayan asked indifferently.

“We’re willing to share the sect’s burden, but we really can’t take out a hundred million taels of silver.”

“You can’t take it out?”

Bayan suddenly sneered and said sarcastically,”Back then, you were the ones who were determined to go against Yuan sect and refused to lower your heads. Now, do you intend to stay out of this?”

At this point.

He was suddenly furious and shouted, “I’m telling you. If you can’t take out a hundred million taels of silver today, then you will die together with the Shi Jue clan. Whoever dares to run away, I will be the first to kill him.

The words fell.

A terrifying aura exploded and filled the hall.

Groan!

A clear and melodious sound of a sword rang out. A long sword had appeared and was floating beside Bayan.

The two Daoist seals engraved on the sword were telling everyone.

This wasn’t an ordinary sword, but a two-seal Dao artifact.

As for the other people from the Shi Jue clan, how could they not recognize the long sword?

Seeing that Bayan had even taken out his sect-guarding Dao weapon, the elders ‘hearts immediately turned cold. Looking at their sect master’s cold and emotionless eyes, they all realized the seriousness of the situation.

The other party’s words.

He wasn’t joking.

If anyone dared to say no, that sect protecting Dao artifact would have been destroyed.

For a moment.

There was a touch of fear in the eyes of the elders of the Shi Jue clan.

“Please calm down, sect master!”

“Calm down, sect master!”

They were truly afraid now. They were afraid that Bayan would go crazy under the pressure of Yuan sect.

calm down. If you didn’t try your best to stop us, our Shi Jue clan wouldn’t have fallen into this situation!

“If you didn’t try your best to stop us, our sect disciples wouldn’t have suffered such heavy losses from the yuan Pavilion’s reward!”

“If it wasn’t for you all stopping us, our sect wouldn’t have lost one hundred and sixty million silver for nothing!”

Bayan’s cold and terrifying eyes swept across the crowd as he angrily questioned.

“If it weren’t for the fact that you’ve served the sect, I would’ve killed you all right now. Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve been doing behind the scenes all these years.

He was very straightforward when he used his sect’s reputation to secretly swallow up the properties of other forces.

Why, are you all reluctant to part with the silver in your pockets?”

“I’m telling you, you have to take it today, whether you want to or not. Otherwise, you can try to see if you can walk out of this Hall!”

He no longer had the intention to discuss this calmly.

The current situation ...

There was no longer any need to discuss it.

All these years, these elders in front of him had caused the entire sect to be in a foul mood, constantly weakening the authority of the sect master.

However, for the sake of the sect’s stability, Bayan had not really taken action. Instead, he accompanied these elders.

But now-

Under the pressure of Yuan sect, the Shi Jue clan had already reached a point where they could not retreat.

Now, Bayan did not intend to endure anything.

The opportunity before him was the perfect opportunity to reorganize the Shi Jue clan.

Prompt decisions would only lead to chaos.

When he took out his sect protecting Dao weapon, he had already made a decision.

In terms of strength.

Bayan was the number one person in Shi Jue clan.

The other party also had a sect protecting Dao artifact in hand, so no one in Shi Jue sect could stop him.

Therefore, under such a situation, the elder of Shi Jue clan finally gave in.

Unless they really wanted to fight BA Yanyu to the death, they could only surrender.

But the problem was ...

They did not dare to fight Bayan to the death, but Bayan really dared to fight them.

There was no other choice in this situation.

Very quickly.

The Shi Jue clan gathered two hundred million taels of silver and Bayan personally brought it to the Liangshan spirit domain.

In the Cheng Wu Hall of Yuan sect.

...

“Bayan from the Shi Jue clan greets sect leader Qin!”

Bayan no longer had the aura that the sect leader of Shi Jue sect should have. He was just like an ordinary cultivator. He stood in front of Qin shujian and cupped his hands with a solemn expression.

sect master BA, ” Qin shujian said. I wonder what’s the matter with your visit this time? ”

“In response to sect master Qin’s earlier request, I’m here to offer my apologies.”

Bayan took out a storage ring from his finger and used his quintessential essence to hold it in front of Qin shujian.

“There are two hundred million taels of silver inside. I’ve already converted them all into cash. Sect master Qin, please check.”

no need. I can still trust the Shi Jue clan’s reputation. Qin shujian glanced at the storage ring in front of him and put it away. Then, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

“Sect master BA, please take a seat!”

“Many thanks.”

Bayan did not refuse. After thanking him, he sat down on the side.

To be honest, he was also under a lot of pressure when facing the master of Yuan sect.

...

However, as the sect leader of the Shi Jue clan, he was not weak at all.

Even though he was very afraid of Qin shujian, he didn’t show it on his face.

After they sat down.

Bayan cupped his hands and said again, it wasn’t the Shi Jue clan’s intention to be enemies with your sect. So, these two hundred million taels of silver are our sect’s compensation. I hope sect leader Qin can forget about the past.

“Don’t worry, I’ve always paid attention to credibility when I do things,” Shi Jue clan is so straightforward, ” Qin shujian said with a faint smile. the yuan sect is not willing to make another enemy.

“But ...”

this time, the Shi Jue clan can settle the matter with silver taels. However, if there’s a next time, this matter will not be settled with just two hundred million taels. I hope sect leader BA can understand this.

Bayan made a gesture of listening attentively to Qin shujian’s words.

After the other party finished speaking, he nodded and replied, ” sect leader Qin, don’t worry. As long as I am still in power, the Shi Jue clan will definitely not make an enemy of the yuan sect.

“That’s the best.”

Qin shujian’s mood was pretty good now that Bayan was so understanding.

After all, he didn’t want to tire himself out every day.

If everyone was as smart as Bayan, many things would be much easier.

However, such a thought was still an extravagant hope.

If he had not destroyed the Shi Jue clan, Bayan would not have been so easy to talk to.

“In the end, it’s still the fist that’s hard enough, so words work.”

“A woman’s benevolence will only harm others and herself.”

——

After the Shi Jue clan, the other sects also sent silver over one after another.

Yuan GE threw out the soul conduit realm cultivation technique and instantly gathered a large number of itinerant cultivators.

Facing so many top cultivators, even the major sects in the region were under great pressure.

Although taking out one billion taels of silver was a huge blow, it was nothing compared to the destruction of the sect.

For a moment.

After receiving the silver from the various sects, Yuan sect’s Foundation had improved by quite a bit.

After all, the compensation from so many sects added together was not a small amount.

For a period of time after.

Qin shujian was still living in seclusion in Yuan sect. He was quietly practicing the GUI Yuan ancestral code and the few soul conduit martial arts.

The high-grade divine-level GUI Yuan ancestral Codex pointed directly to the divine martial realm’s great circle.

He was only at tier two of the divine martial realm, and he still had a lot of room for improvement.

At the current stage, every time a cultivation technique was upgraded to the next level, the consumption of life value would be calculated in the hundreds of millions.

&Nbsp; so,

Qin shujian would rather spend some time on cultivation. If he could break through his original threshold, he would be able to save a lot of life value.

However, the difficulty of breaking through the GUI Yuan ancestral code wasn’t an ordinary difficulty.

He was also very interested in the three imminent deity martial arts that he had learned.

Especially the nine tribulations stainless indestructible body.

Qin shujian had just experienced the lightning tribulation and stepped into the first level.

In order to enter the second level, one would have to face the wind tribulation.

The so-called nine tribulations meant that one had to go through a tribulation at every level. Only after passing through would one be able to cross the next threshold. As for those who failed to pass through, even if they did not die, they would be seriously injured.

Among the nine tribulations stainless indestructible body, the lightning tribulation was the lowest level.

Therefore, going through the Thunder tribulation was only the beginning of this martial art.

However, the real reason why Qin shujian was interested in this martial art was because it was completely different from what he had expected. It would conflict with the primordial undying body.

Not only did the two not clash, but they even complemented each other.

If the primordial undying body was about unlocking the potential of the human body, then the cultivator’s body would undergo a transformation.

Then, the nine tribulations stainless indestructible body could speed up the opening of the human body’s hidden potential.

During this process, it could further temper the cultivator’s physical body and true Yuan, making it even more powerful.

After attaining the nine tribulations stainless indestructible body ...

Qin shujian’s gang Qi also underwent a change.

Faint purple stellar energy surged like bolts of lightning, and a destructive aura spread out.

“Lightning strike!”

Qin shujian muttered to himself when he felt the power of the gang Qi.

Even though this was not the first time he had seen Lei Meng, every time he felt this power, he felt a sense of shock rising in his heart.

This was the effect of breaking through the first level.

Qin shujian really wanted to know what level he would be able to reach if he practiced this martial art to the end.

However, the spirit realm martial arts were extraordinary.

Even with Qin shujian’s current vision and talent, he did not make much progress after training hard for a period of time.

Very quickly.

More than a month had passed.

It wasn’t until Wu Lang’s arrival that he ended his state of seclusion.

As for this imperial court emissary ...

Qin shujian had always been very attentive.

Even though the North cloud Prefecture was peaceful, the devil disaster was still raging in the other prefectures. In fact, some of the prefectures were even showing signs of getting worse.

The reason for this was that the altars used to seal the demons had been destroyed one after another.

Even though the Imperial court had been guarding the place strictly, the players were still able to get in.

As a result, after a few months ...

More and more demons were breaking out of the seal.

Qin shujian had also seen these demons that had broken through the seal, and his heart was filled with desire.

In the eyes of others, these evil spirits were like the god of death. In his eyes, they were just walking luck values.

However-

After Wu Lang reported back to the Imperial court, he did not take any action. Qin shujian could only temporarily suppress the impulse in his heart.

Now that the other party had come again, he didn’t need to think about why.

To the emissaries of the Imperial court ...

No matter what his identity was, he represented the face of the Imperial court.

In this regard.

Qin shujian had to give him some face.

Therefore, after receiving the news, he immediately met Wu Lang in the Cheng Wu Hall.

“I haven’t seen you for many days, how have you been?”

“Everything is fine. However, sect master Qin’s actions during this period of time have broadened my horizons!” Wu Lang smiled and cupped his hands, his words full of admiration, ” it’s a blessing for the cultivation world of North cloud Prefecture to have Yuan sect!

He wasn’t exaggerating when he said the last sentence.

Although the cultivation world of the great Zhao was a whole, the thirteen prefectures were divided, which also led to differences in the cultivation world, which led to different resources.

In this way, there would be fights and snatches in the cultivation world of each Prefecture.

At this moment.

The strength of the cultivation world in each Prefecture played a huge role.

The weaker prefectures had more resources, so the prefectures with insufficient resources would naturally set their sights on these prefectures.

As for the matters of the cultivation world ...

The Imperial court would usually not care about it.

As long as they did not rebel or threaten the foundation of the great Zhao, they would turn a blind eye to the battles between cultivators.

In this case, the strength of the cultivation world in each Prefecture was very important.

For example, the North cloud Manor.

Among the thirteen constabularies of the great Zhao, the foundation of the North cloud Constabulary was relatively shallow.

After all, as a Prefecture that was close to the limits of the world, it meant that the foundation of the place it was located in was weaker than other prefectures.

Therefore, the power of the cultivation world could not be considered very strong.

All along, there had been no top sect in the cultivation world of North cloud Prefecture. Only a few major sects of the major regions had joined forces to fight against the cultivation world of other prefectures.

Although he could maintain the situation, it would be difficult.

However, things were different now.

With the addition of Yuan sect in North cloud Prefecture, Yuan sect’s past reputation had been tarnished. However, the successive achievements and methods were enough to establish its unparalleled status.

If so ...

Even if Yuan sect did not officially claim supremacy in North cloud Prefecture, the sects from other prefectures would have to consider the intentions of this top-tier sect if they wanted to interfere.

Therefore ...

Although it wasn’t a good thing for North cloud Prefecture to have an additional Yuan sect, it was at least a form of protection and a deterrent.

Especially during this period of time.

The sky origin sect first established the sky Pavilion, then destroyed the heavenly corpse sect and the other sects.

Wu Lang had also received the news, and the shock in his heart was no less than the others.

Even to the extent that ...

Some people had mentioned the matter of the yuan Pavilion in the Imperial court.

However, the civil and military officials each held their own opinions, so the Imperial court left the matter unsettled.

More importantly ...

Now that they were dealing with the demons of the prefectures, they could not do without the help of sky origin sect.

It might be fine if the evil spirit broke the seal in the spirit domain. The Imperial court had no lack of celestial beings, so it would not be a big problem to deal with them.

However, in the true Dominion, everyone’s power was suppressed, but the physical strength of the sinister Devils was so strong that the human race couldn’t compare.

Comparing the two ...

The gap and advantage were obvious.

This was also the reason why the Imperial court had not been able to deal with the demons after such a long time.

The biggest reason was that it was too difficult to find experts in the true Dominion who could fight the sinister Devils.

Therefore, Qin shujian, a cultivator who had condensed four world heavenly locks and broken through, was very important.

you’ve flattered me. May I know what important matter you’ve come for? ”

“I’ve already reported the matter I discussed with sect master Qin to the Imperial court. Now that I’ve received accurate news, I’ve come again.”

“The Imperial court’s meaning is?”

the Imperial court has found out that sky origin sect has just been established and is lacking in resources. They should be in need of spirit stones, so the reward for killing the evil spirit will be paid in spirit stones. Are you satisfied? ”

Wu Lang sat in his seat and said as he cupped his hands.

Spirit stones!

Qin shujian’s gaze changed a little when he heard this.

The Imperial court’s words weren’t wrong. Now that the sky corpse sect had been annexed, there were many things that the sky sect didn’t lack for the time being. On the other hand, the spirit stones that were needed to enhance the foundation of the sect were extremely important.

There were many spirit stones on Mount Liang.

However, he would never mind having too many spirit stones.

With every additional spirit stone, the spiritual Qi would be denser, which would be very beneficial for the future.

After all, many little things make an ocean. After a few decades or even a hundred years, it would be quite a big harvest.

Even though a few decades or a hundred years sounded distant.

But in reality.

After breaking through to the divine martial realm, Qin shujian realized that it was not impossible for him to endure for a few decades or even a hundred years.

However, spirit stones were spirit stones, but the main problem was how many there were.

“How do I pay for the spirit stones?”

five sinister Devils for one Spirit stone. What does sect leader Qin think? ”

“It’s a deal,”

yes, ” Qin shujian replied without thinking. He immediately nodded.

Five sinister Devils, one Spirit stone.

This was no different from giving him money.

According to his estimation, there were at least two to three thousand demons of the true Dominion in the great Zhao, or even more.

When he thought about two to three thousand sinister Devils and the fact that five sinister Devils could be exchanged for one Spirit stone, Qin shujian felt a little excited.

If this deal was successful, Yuan sect would be rich.

Although it was impossible for him to kill all of the demons, he was still a demon.

However, even if he could only kill 500 demons, he would still get 100 spiritual stones.

If he were to throw 100 spiritual stones into the sky origin sect, the concentration of spiritual Qi would definitely reach a terrifying level.

At that time.

Even a pig might have the chance to develop intelligence if it was thrown here for a period of time.

On the other side.

Wu Lang was a little nervous when he said this.

After all, even though spiritual stones were precious, it still depended on the situation.

The power of the sinister Devils was extraordinary, and their strength was comparable to that of a celestial realm cultivator. No matter where they were, no one could fight against them.

To be honest.

Five sinister Devils for a single spirit stone was already a very low price.

The Imperial court had even deliberately lowered the price on account of the difficulty of Qin shujian killing the demons.

Wu Lang was prepared to bargain with the other party, but he didn’t expect the other party to agree so easily.

When he saw this.

“Sect leader Qin, you’re a straightforward person. Let’s say that this matter is settled,” he immediately replied.

After the matter was confirmed, Wu Lang was not afraid that the other party would go back on his words.

In the end ...

The Imperial court had worked with Qin shujian before, so they had some understanding of his reputation.

After the matter was settled.

Wu Lang heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Qin shujian also had a faint smile on his face.

To Wu Lang, five sinister Devils in exchange for one Spirit stone could be considered as the Imperial court’s way of lowering the price.

However, Qin shujian was different.

Five sinister Devils in exchange for a single spirit stone was no different from picking up money.

Soon after.

After the matter was settled, Wu Lang left behind a jade stone and an identity token.

The Jade contained information about the current demon disasters in the various prefectures and the locations where the true Dominion’s evil demons had been sealed.

As for the identity token, it was to allow Qin shujian to freely enter and exit the place where the demons were suppressed without being obstructed.

It could be said that ...

This identity token was similar to the identity token given to him by Marquis northcloud.

However, in terms of importance, the identity token given by the Imperial court was naturally higher.

After all, Marquis North cloud was only in charge of North cloud Manor.

The Imperial court ruled the entire world.

After sending Wu Lang away, Qin shujian picked up the Jade and scanned it with his divine will. Perhaps it was the information he wanted.

BOOM!

A huge amount of information gushed in like a tidal wave. However, his spiritual God was extremely powerful and was not affected by the information at all. Instead, it was rapidly disintegrated as the information gushed in.

Very quickly, the Jade in his hand turned into fine powder.

Qin shujian had also obtained what he wanted in his mind.

“The number of demons in the great Zhao doesn’t seem to be too high!”

After receiving the information, he found that the demons sealed in the rest of the residences were somewhat different from what he had expected.

Back then, there had been hundreds of sinister Devils sealed in the 170-odd true Dominion of North cloud Prefecture.

Based on this, there were at least two to three thousand demons in the true Dominion in the thirteen great Zhao prefectures.

But in reality.

This number was much less than he had expected.

In the thirteen constabularies of the great Zhao.

Apart from North cloud Manor, the total number of demons suppressed by the other twelve manors was only slightly more than 1500.

This number was roughly equivalent to three of the sinister Devils in North cloud Prefecture.

After thinking about it for a while, Qin shujian understood why there were so few evil demons in the other prefectures of the great Zhao dynasty.

It was different from the North cloud Manor.

Most of the other prefectures had existed for a long time, and if there were really evil demons born, many of them must have escaped after their seals were broken, or the great Zhao had killed them directly.

On the other hand, the North cloud Prefecture was located at the limits of the world. Recently, new regions had been born, which was the reason why there were so many sinister Devils.

As for most of the other manors, they did not have this problem, and naturally, there were not many demons sealed in them.

However, even though there were more than a thousand sinister Devils, it was still a small number compared to the North cloud Manor.

But one had to know.

More than a thousand demons meant more than a thousand celestial beings. It was a problem if there were even a hundred celestial beings in the great Zhao dynasty.

Other than that.

This number of evil spirits didn’t include the spirit domain and the great domain, but also the various mortal domains.

In fact, the number of such demons was not small at all.

“However, the great Zhao has only existed for six thousand years, and it’s impossible for the entire world to be born in a few thousand years. In that case, the evil demons that were born with the newly-born areas before the great Zhao should have been suppressed by other existences.

But I don’t know if it’s a human or a demon!”

Qin shujian thought to himself.

It had to be known that before the Emperor established the great Zhao to rule the world, the demon race had not been driven to the endless Mountains.

At that time, the demon race coexisted with the human race in this world.
