Upon hearing Ning Chuan's offer, everyone fell silent.
Logically speaking, the merchant's offer shouldn't be rounded down; what's with this rounding up?!
However, human strength is inevitable.
No one objected.
But no one agreed.
One hundred million Star Yuan, while not a crippling sum for them, is not a small amount either!
The key point is...
They noticed Ning Chuan's words.
Tentatively set at 100 million Star Yuan!
This makes one wonder, will prices go up again in the future?!
"Wait a moment!"
Seeing Ning Chuan about to turn and enter the Hidden Slaughter Dao Lineage, a divine son called out to stop him, gritting his teeth and mustering his courage, "Do all visitors have to pay an entrance fee? What about those who entered before?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled, understanding the implied meaning.
The other party meant Yin Xusi!
Does this member of the royal family need to pay an admission fee?
Ning Chuan remained expressionless, nodded, and calmly said, "It needs to be paid."
The divine prince took a deep breath and said somewhat nervously, "What if someone is unwilling to pay one hundred million Star Yuan?"
He and the other descended geniuses knew this clearly.
Yin Xusi could not possibly agree to that.
Otherwise, the royal family would lose face, and Yin Xusi would not be able to withstand the accountability from the higher-ups alone. He might be deposed or even lose his life!
"I'd give my life to make up for it."
A detached voice swept through the entire venue.
The words were finished.
Ning Chuan did not linger. He led Qin Ya through the portal and into the Hidden Slaughter Dao Lineage, leaving behind many divine sons and holy daughters looking at each other in bewilderment.
They could hardly believe it.
Ning Chuan actually dared to attack a direct descendant of the royal family!
If we consider the malicious intent behind killing the middle-aged Divine Guardian Guard, there might be some room for leniency.
To kill Yin Xusi would be to utterly offend the Yin Family!
They must bear the wrath of the Divine Kingdom's royal family!
Even powerful Demigod who roam the stars have to weigh the pros and cons carefully.
At least outwardly, there won't be any overstepping of boundaries!
"I've already paid. The transfer record shows both Horse Road Mountain's and my names!"
Yue Hao held up the communicator and rushed through the Initiation.
The surrounding holy children and saints watched with complex expressions.
He hesitated for at least a moment!
These geniuses who descended from heaven, though they have little face left, still have to retain some dignity!
"This kid has been livestreaming the whole time, probably trying to document the battle between Ning Chuan and Yin Xusi. His earnings are likely more than a hundred million Star Yuan!"
"What incredible luck!"
Many people were cursing and swearing.
Forget about Yue Hao, are you going in or not?
"We must go in. One of my family's supreme elders entered this lineage during the last Martial Star's resurgence. It seems there's a complete set of Divine Art passed down inside, which hasn't been taken yet!"
With Yue Hao taking the lead, the dissatisfaction and frustration in everyone's hearts dissipated. They took out their communicators to transfer money and Initiation one after another.
However, the vast majority remained outside.
They were waiting for the result of Ning Chuan's match against Yin Xusi.
Since Yin Xusi dares to target the Federation, he must have some means, and he may not be weaker than Ning Chuan!
"I don't expect Yin Xusi to defeat Ning Chuan; just avoiding defeat, or even death, would be enough to make Ning Chuan's entrance fee a joke!"
"A mere native creature from Martial Star dares to ask us for an entrance fee? That's outrageous! What's he planning to do next? Protection money? What does he take us for? Fat sheep to be bleed at will?!"
"To be honest, maybe we should just pay. What if Ning Chuan really wins? I'm afraid he'll raise the price!"
"It's already reached 100 million Star Yuan, how can it still go up?!"
Various opinions followed one after another.
The divine sons and holy daughters who remained outside were unaware that they had already tacitly agreed that Ning Chuan would at least not be defeated by the well-prepared direct descendants of the royal family!
In the past, this would have been unimaginable!
On the other side, the Hidden Slaughter Dao Lineage.
As soon as Ning Chuan entered, he was certain that the lineage within the cave definitely originated from the Hidden Killing Tower!
Because the spaces of the two lineages are permeated with the same fluctuation, evolved from the Wuji Law, filling the space between heaven and earth, obscuring the detection and perception of living beings.
"The accuracy of the survey... is less than 10%, leaving only an area of over 100,000 kilometers in radius."
Ning Chuan shook his head inwardly.
Then, he channeled his Force and Law, amplifying his voice, and reiterated the admission fee standards from before.
Within his sphere of influence, there were many divine beings, both sons and daughters, busy searching for treasure.
Or traversing the mountains and forests;
Or search the pavilions and towers;
Or dive into rivers and lakes...
Upon hearing Ning Chuan's voice, they were initially bewildered, followed by anger and frustration!
They acted in accordance with Federation law, which is infuriating enough!
There's another entrance fee?!
However, when several fleeing geniuses were pinned to the ground by Ning Chuan using the Brahma Spear and the Gloomlight Spear.
All discontent vanished.
Instead, Ning Chuan's communicator began receiving a continuous stream of transfer messages from the Universe First Cultivator Bank.
"I initially thought Haozi was a coward, but now it seems he's a wise man who knows when to yield!"
"Host: Ning Chuan wasn't as fast as me. I had already transferred the money before he even made a move!"
Following closely behind Yue Hao, who had entered the Hidden Slaughter Dao Lineage, he broadcast live the scene of Ning Chuan's attack and the busy transfer of funds by several divine sons and holy daughters, causing a huge uproar!
Even those experts in the Upper Three Realms who have existed for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years have never seen such a sight!
A young man from a fallen kingdom bullied the geniuses of various factions in the Divine Kingdom to a heartbreaking degree, almost taking whatever he wanted from them.
"No surprise, I've figured it out, that kid is definitely a ruthless individual!"
"To dare kill the Divine Guardian Guard and point the sword at a direct descendant of the royal family, how could one not be ruthless!"
" Haozi, how about you risk your life and make a deal with Ning Chuan? If he can force Yin Xusi to his knees and beg for mercy, I'm willing to pay ten billion Star Yuan!"
A comment ignited Yue Hao's live stream!
Many people traced the account that left the comment to a verified interstellar bandit from the Upper Three Realms!
Its reputation is terrifyingly great!
His name appears on the wanted lists of many Divine Kingdom.
The Military Department forces of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom alone have looted over a hundred ships!
He even took on the mission of assassinating the heir of the Yin Family, but unfortunately failed.
"This guy is a ruthless big shot!"
"Not at all! Not at all! Making a living is far less worthwhile than being the Quelling Chaos Heavenly King!"
"Speaking solely of Martial Star, what you say is true!"
Looking at the soaring popularity and gift revenue, Yue Hao couldn't hide the smile on his lips.
That's incredibly powerful!
He even hoped that Ning Chuan's customized contract would arrive a little later.
Otherwise, relying solely on live streaming Ning Chuan, he could at least become a top streamer in the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom, or even reach the top spot.
Ning Chuan glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, shook his head inwardly, and transmitted his voice, " Yue Hao, the 100 million Star Yuan you transferred will be deducted from my share of the profits."
The other party was his ally, and their usual cooperation had gone smoothly.
"Need not."
Yue Hao didn't look at Ning Chuan, not wanting to reveal their relationship, and secretly chuckled, "The increase in popularity you brought from the live stream alone couldn't be achieved with 100 million Star Yuan!"
"Alright, as long as you don't feel bad about it in the future."
"Why would I feel sorry for myself..."
Yue Hao's heart skipped a beat, as if he had realized something, and he said incredulously, "This time, the entrance fee wasn't something you did by chance?!"
"It's kind of like a pilot program."
Ning Chuan did not hide anything.
Upon hearing this, Yue Hao was alarmed. He had some understanding of business, and if the pilot operation was successful, the next step should be to promote it on a large scale.
"From now on, we'll have to pay an entrance fee to join any sect?!"
Yue Hao's heart was pounding wildly.
To some extent, the middle-aged Divine Guardian Guard was at fault first, so Ning Chuan's charging for the Hidden Slaughter Dao Lineage is barely justifiable.
But if we extend this to all schools of thought...
Without even discussing how to operate it, the arrival of numerous geniuses would absolutely cause a riot!
How will Ning Chuan be suppressed?!
"Yes, the entrance fee for the Daoist tradition will be a form of taxation in the future."
"Huh?! One? What else do you want?!"
