Zeng Siming was practically exploding with rage.
He glared at Huang Xuanzi with utter fury.
"Are you insane, or are you just screwing with me?"
"You merely need to divine Li Yun's whereabouts, yet you dare ask for twenty Heaven Grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?"
"Fine, asking for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures is one thing, but you even want twenty thousand years of my lifespan... Are you joking? Is lifespan something that can be traded?"
Huang Xuanzi was unconcerned. "That's why this Dao master said you were ignorant."
"Lifespan is something that truly exists. Since it exists, of course it can be traded. But there's one thing you got wrong as well. The twenty thousand years of lifespan I want from you aren't some footprint—you must genuinely pay that price."
"Why?"
"Simple. Who do you think Li Yun is? To become the Lord of Tiangu King Mountain, he is at least a Marquis-level Child of Destiny."
"Great fortune shrouds him, and he is naturally protected by the World Will lurking in the unseen. Do you think you can divine him whenever you please?"
"If you want to divine his whereabouts, a sacrifice is inevitable. That sacrifice is offered to the World Will, equivalent to the World Will's punishment for divining Li Yun!"
"You are the one who wants to divine Li Yun, not this Dao master. You can't possibly expect this Dao master to pay those twenty thousand years of lifespan for you, can you?"
"You..."
Zeng Siming's face immediately darkened.
The martial artists beside him also felt their scalps go numb.
Never mind the twenty Heaven Grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures—those were genuine rare treasures that ordinary factions simply could not produce.
On top of that, he actually wanted to sacrifice twenty thousand years of lifespan?
