Xuanyuan Yu's lips twitched.
Five million Emperor's Fortune buy one person? You really dare to dream!
He said, "I mean, all of them, five million."
Xie Feng thought for a moment, then shrugged. "I think... you don't care much about your subordinates. For someone as powerful and wealthy as Ink Mysteries City, to have so little money is quite embarrassing, isn't it?"
Xuanyuan Yu said, "Ten million!"
Xie Feng said expressionlessly, "So cheap? If I were to Dao of Destruction them, I'd rather stay in Returning Moon City, enjoying good food and drink, because this person negotiating outside isn't sincere at all!"
Xuanyuan Yu gritted her teeth. "Even the most valued person has a limit to their worth!"
"Clearly, you haven't reached your limit yet."
Xie Feng smiled back.
"Go ahead and say it! Say how much!!" Xuanyuan Yu was starting to lose her composure.
"Fifty million!"
"This is extortion!!!"
"For Ink Mysteries City, is fifty million a lot? Is it a lot? Not at all!"
"..."
Xuanyuan Yu's forehead veins throbbed; he now felt like cursing the Imperial Evil Lord. Was this the generous, magnanimous, and morally upright gentleman that someone had described?!
What kind of good person would try to extort money like this!
Xuanyuan Yu tried hard to calm himself down, but after a long while, his eyes still gleamed with a murderous intent...
Xie Feng noticed, blinked, and smiled brightly and sincerely, "Brother Xuanyuan, let me tell you about its value, then you won't think it's expensive anymore..."
Xuanyuan Yu snorted angrily, "I'm not your older brother!"
Xie Feng didn't care at all, treating these words as mere whispers in the wind. He still smiled and said, "You see, cultivating a God Grade powerhouse like the Dao of Destruction is very difficult, isn't it? Especially in the Fifth Universe, where ordinary people make up half the population. Moreover, your thousands of elites are all Demigod. I think even a major power like Ink Mysteries City wouldn't ignore nearly two thousand Demigod and just give up on them! Besides, the Dao of Destruction has followed you for many years, and your bond with him must be deep. Otherwise, as a high-ranking city lord, you wouldn't have come alone to this meeting. This also shows that City Lord Xuanyuan is sincere and righteous, and doesn't play games! Finally, if you're unwilling to pay this money, I'll have to use my brains and see if I can turn them to serve Returning Moon City! Ideally, I'd get them to reveal the secrets of Ink Mysteries City. As for what secrets they might reveal, that's beyond the city lord's control..."
Xie Feng smiled and said a few words that were both tactful and harsh, leaving Xuanyuan Yu stunned. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it made a lot of sense and suddenly felt a little guilty!
Xuanyuan Yu thought it over and over, but still couldn't make up his mind, so he turned to Imperial Evil Lord and asked, "Brother, what do you think?"
Seeing this, Xie Feng didn't rush to win him over; instead, he stared directly at the Imperial Evil Lord with sincere and bright eyes...
Both of them are my good brothers, each one is my precious flesh and blood. If I express my opinion, I will offend the other no matter what I say. I can't take on this responsibility!
The Imperial Evil Lord wiped his sweat. "They're all my brothers, I have no choice. How about... you two play rock-paper-scissors?"
Xie Feng: "..."
Xuanyuan Yu: "..."
Is this for real?
However, they knew Imperial Evil Lord in a difficult position, so they let him go.
Xie Feng finally said, "Fifty million, is that okay? If not, I'll raise the price!"
Xuanyuan Yu: "..."
Is this even allowed?!
In the end, Xuanyuan Yu agreed and reluctantly gave away 50 million Emperor's Fortune.
Xie Feng clapped his hands, and Gu Yu, who had been eavesdropping at the city gate, immediately brought over the Dao of Destruction.
Xuanyuan Yu peeked out and asked, "Where are my elite troops?"
Gu Yu said, "What's the rush? I'm afraid you'll rebel in public. In a couple of days, a large army will escort your troops back to Ink Mysteries City."
Xuanyuan Yu frowned. "This isn't what we agreed on!"
Actually, he was worried that Xie Feng might go back on his word in a few days, which would be a huge loss for him.
Xie Feng said, "I swear on Brother Huang Xie's character, I will send the elite troops to you tomorrow."
The Imperial Evil Lord asked, "Brother Yu, do you trust my character?"
Xuanyuan Yu said, "Of course I believe you!"
Xie Feng said, "Then it's settled. Don't worry, I won't lie to you!"
Xuanyuan Yu: "..."
He always felt that the Imperial Evil Lord was subtly against him, but he wasn't sure if he was overthinking it...
After muttering to himself for a moment, Xuanyuan Yu glared at the Dao of Destruction, his anger rising. "Who the hell told you to leave here and go to the Great Fall Land without permission? What were you doing there? Dereliction of duty, what's the punishment? You went, so why did you come back?!"
The Dao of Destruction felt wronged. "City Lord, you were the one who sent me!"
"Did I send you?"
Xuanyuan Yu was completely confused. "Except for today, I haven't left Ink Mysteries City!"
"It was you who gave the order!" The Dao of Destruction looked up, saw the Imperial Evil Lord, and his eyes lit up. He quickly pointed at him and said, "And this one, he was with you back then too!"
Xuanyuan Yu looked utterly bewildered.
The Imperial Evil Lord winked knowingly, "And you are? It seems like this is the first time we've met. You've mistaken me for someone else."
The Dao of Destruction was stunned!
Damn it, this world is toxic!
Is it his memory that's deteriorating, or the memories of the people in front of him?
While the three were arguing back and forth, only Xie Feng remained calm and composed, tilting his head back at a 45-degree angle to gaze at the sky.
Ten minutes later, the three of them still hadn't figured it out. Actually, if it were just Xuanyuan Yu and the Dao of Destruction, they could definitely have figured it out, but with the addition of the troublemaker Imperial Evil Lord, it really became a complete mess.
So they gave up.
Xuanyuan Yu had only stayed there for a short while when he was extorted by Xie Feng, had his Dao of Destruction, and was disturbed by the Imperial Evil Lord. He was almost dizzy and wished he could leave immediately.
He wanted to leave, but Xie Feng stopped him, saying, "City Lord Xuanyuan, since you're already here, why not come in and have some fun?"
Xuanyuan Yu snorted, "Aren't you afraid of inviting a wolf into your house?"
Xie Feng smiled and said, "I was afraid I wouldn't have said that."
Xuanyuan Yu said, "Alright, I'll go in and have a chat with Young Master Xie!"
Before entering the city, Xuanyuan Yu sent the Dao of Destruction back to Ink Mysteries City first.
He can handle anything if he's alone.
The group arrived at Returning Moon City and entered the backyard, where Jin Yue was playing with Xiangxiang in the garden.
" Jin Yue!"
Xuanyuan Yu saw her and immediately erupted.
He strode forward, arriving before Jin Yue, his anger barely contained. "Give me back the Qilin King Secret Key Diagram!"
Jin Yue was so angry that her eyebrows shot up, and she pointed angrily at his nose. "You little thief! How dare you talk to me like that!"
"That's mine!"
"Hmph, come on, you know perfectly well how you got here!"
"What do you mean?"
"I'm just taking back what's rightfully mine!"
What's it to you?
"Say it again, whose is the Qilin King Secret Key Diagram?!"
Jin Yue stared coldly and aggressively at Xuanyuan Yu.
