After waiting a full hour, Sikong Jing's beast-form spiritual shadow finally saw the Second Elder emerge. Yet the latter's face was rather gloomy, clearly showing that the discussion had not gone pleasantly.
Sikong Jing did not care what mood he was in...
Once the Second Elder came into contact with him later, his mood would definitely turn even worse.
For his first condition later, Sikong Jing planned to have the Second Elder take him to Ling Dongwei's territory...
The purpose, of course, was to get in touch with Ling Zhonghuang and find a way to obtain the location of the entrance to the void rift.
However, just as Sikong Jing was about to control the demon beast pulling the carriage to move closer...
A middle-aged figure suddenly went up to the Second Elder, causing Sikong Jing to immediately halt his movements.
Then he heard the middle-aged man ask, "Second Elder, how did your discussion with Master Xie go?"
There was a faint note of urgency in the man's voice...
The Second Elder twitched the corner of his mouth and said coldly, "I once helped him, yet that fellow has the nerve to open his jaws like a lion. He actually wants ten Void Energy Crystals as payment, and he even says it's a friendship price."
As those words fell, Sikong Jing's beast-form spiritual shadow jolted within the carriage-pulling demon beast's mind.
The Second Elder had Void Energy Crystals too?
Anger flared in the middle-aged man's eyes as well. "Master Xie wants that much? That's downright disgusting. Void Energy Crystals are things one can only stumble upon by chance—how could he name such a price?"
At that, the Second Elder nodded with an ugly expression, then asked in a low voice, "Your elder brother... how many is he willing to offer?"
