Song Ning frowned when he heard the other party demand one million High-grade Spirit Stones.
Spirit Stones were divided into low, mid, high, supreme, and above supreme were Divine-grade Spirit Stones.
One million High-grade Spirit Stones could be exchanged for one hundred million Mid-grade Spirit Stones. If converted into Low-grade Spirit Stones, it would be ten billion.
Ten billion low-grade spirit stones was an enormous sum even for the Thunder Palace Sword Sect.
Moreover, refining Living Dead required practically no cost at all.
For Wang Qishan to demand one million High-grade Spirit Stones was simply a lion opening its jaws wide.
Lu Yiping said, "Forget one million High-grade Spirit Stones—even a single copper coin, I will not give you."
Wang Qishan's face suddenly turned grim.
"As for my subordinates' lives, if you have the ability, come and take them," Lu Yiping continued.
Zhang Jin stepped forward.
Hearing this, Wang Qishan's eyes turned bloodthirsty as he chuckled darkly. "Do you really think we wouldn't dare kill you within the Big Dipper Imperial Capital?"
Under normal circumstances, fighting was forbidden in imperial cities such as the Big Dipper Imperial Capital, to say nothing of the approaching ten-thousandth anniversary celebration of the Big Dipper Empire.
Wang Qishan suddenly shouted, "Attack! Kill all five of them!"
At once, more than forty White Bone Sect experts rushed out.
The forty-plus people simultaneously launched an assault on Zhang Jin, Zhao Wen, Wei Bing, Chen Yongyuan, and Lu Yiping.
More than half of them were actually Heavenly Human Realm experts!
Above Life Seizing was the Legendary Realm; above the Legendary Realm was the Heavenly Man Realm, then Ancient Emperor, then Great Emperor!
Every Heavenly Human Realm expert was exceedingly difficult to nurture. Once one entered the Heavenly Human Realm, one would be entrusted with important duties by one's sect. In the Wuji Dynasty, a Heavenly Human Realm expert could be appointed lord of a city and command an army of one hundred thousand.
Aside from those twenty-plus Heavenly Human Realm experts, all the rest were at the tenth level of the Legendary Realm.
As more than forty people attacked in unison, their fist force howled wildly, forming a terrifying super hurricane.
Within that hurricane, astonishing black gas churned and rolled.
That black gas was the Black Corpse Qi within the True Essence of those who cultivated the White Bone Sect's techniques.
The disciples of the surrounding Lineages hurriedly retreated in panic.
Facing the terrifying hurricane of fist force sweeping toward him, Zhang Jin did not even spare it a glance. He simply reached into the air and struck with a claw, and a black handprint appeared in midair.
The black handprint emanated astonishingly chilling yin energy.
The surroundings instantly seemed to plunge into the coldest reaches of frost.
Everyone felt as though their blood were freezing solid.
Under the horrified gazes of the White Bone Sect experts, the black handprint, like a small mountain, descended at once.
The White Bone Sect experts were instantly slammed into the ground by the black handprint.
The street's exceptionally sturdy paving stones, laid with refined steel stone, were all blasted into the air.
Everyone who looked inhaled sharply. The more than forty White Bone Sect experts had all become a puddle of flesh and blood, flattened into one enormous meat pancake!
A huge, horrifying handprint was stamped into the street.
The crowd was dumbstruck.
More than forty White Bone Sect experts—over twenty in the Heavenly Human Realm and over twenty at the tenth level of the Legendary Realm—had been flattened into a single meat pancake just like that!
Miao Yan stared blankly at the more than forty White Bone Sect experts, whose corpses had vanished without a trace. Her mind was completely blank.
Wang Qishan and the other White Bone Sect experts were likewise stunned, their faces filled with shock and horror.
"You!" Wang Qishan looked at Zhang Jin in terror.
Was this servant of the Blue-robed Youth an Ancient Emperor?
Even an Ancient Emperor might not possess such terrifying power.
Then was he a Great Emperor expert?!
After Zhang Jin, Zhao Wen, and the other two fused with Wu Mo's physical body, they had spent the past month or so consuming the True God Golden Cores refined from Yellow Springs Demonic Sect ancestor Su Xiu every day as they cultivated.
The strength of their bodies and their power had reached an astonishing level.
Forget Heavenly Human Realm experts—even God Realm experts could not withstand a single punch from Zhang Jin and the other three.
Just now, Zhang Jin had merely used a tiny fraction of his power.
Amid his terror, Wang Qishan drew a deep breath and forced his trembling hands to steady.
Just as Wang Qishan was about to quietly retreat—
"Kill!" Lu Yiping's indifferent voice rang throughout the imperial capital.
At once, Zhang Jin moved.
Before Wang Qishan could react, a terrifying force struck him.
Zhang Jin's figure flickered continuously.
After a few breaths, he came to a stop.
The moment he stopped, Wang Qishan, who had been struck first, suddenly exploded. Then the remaining White Bone Sect experts burst apart one after another; even Miao Yan was no exception.
The stench of blood spread through the air.
"Let's go." Without even looking at the corpses of Wang Qishan and the others, Lu Yiping spoke to Zhang Jin. Yet just as Lu Yiping's group was about to leave, the ground suddenly shook, and troop after troop of Big Dipper Empire soldiers marched over.
These Big Dipper Empire soldiers all emanated astonishing auras. Even the weakest among them were Legendary Realm cultivators!
And their commanders were unmistakably Great Emperor experts!
After these Big Dipper Empire troops arrived, they heavily surrounded Lu Yiping and the others.
The commanding general glanced at the bright red bloodstains around them, then looked coldly at Lu Yiping. "You disregarded the laws of the Big Dipper Empire and fought within the imperial capital!"
"Arrest them all!"
However, just as the Big Dipper Empire soldiers were about to act, Lu Yiping took out a token and tossed it to the general. The general caught it and looked at it, whereupon his expression drastically changed. It was the token of Yellow Springs Demonic Sect ancestor Su Xiu.
The Big Dipper Empire general's expression shifted constantly as he stared at the token, but in the end, he did not act. He then took out a communication talisman and crushed it, apparently reporting the matter to the upper echelons of the Big Dipper Empire.
After a while, upon receiving orders from above, the Big Dipper Empire general tossed the token back to Lu Yiping and finally led the Big Dipper Empire troops away.
Watching the departing Big Dipper Empire troops, Song Ning and the Thunder Palace Sword Sect experts all let out a breath of relief. When the Big Dipper Empire general had been about to make a move, everyone had broken out in a cold sweat.
However, Song Ning and the others were deeply curious about what token Lu Yiping had produced. The Big Dipper Empire had actually decided not to pursue the matter of the fighting.
Watching the departing Big Dipper Empire army, Lu Yiping's expression remained unchanged. He had only acted on a whim and taken out Yellow Springs Demonic Sect ancestor Su Xiu's token to use. He had not expected it to work so well.
"Let's go," Lu Yiping said calmly after the Big Dipper Empire army had left.
Then, together with Song Ning and the others, he headed toward Su Xiu's residence.
A short while later, an exceptionally grand and imposing residence occupying one hundred mu appeared before Song Ning and the others.
