Chapter 139

Jiang Nianchu, then quickly added, "The other party indicated they could raise the price to 20 million."

Lu Yanbie: "!!!"

He looked anxiously at Li Yang and couldn't help but say to her in his Spirit Sea, "This price is acceptable, you..."

Their Spirit Connection wasn't strong; it was like they were whispering in front of a highly skilled expert— Jiang Nianchu could hear them most of the time.

If the price hadn't been so high, Lu Yanbie wouldn't have spoken up; he was genuinely afraid that Li Yang would miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

20 million!

Why not take it if it's free!

Li Yang shook her head again and said, "I want to leave here alive, so I won't sell it."

Lu Yanbie's feverish mind instantly cooled down, and he gradually calmed down.

He couldn't help but curse himself inwardly, realizing he'd been blinded by money and wasted his age and potential!

Li Yang's words make a lot of sense.

Once the cost of the Invincible Shield was revealed, it was indeed not worth 20 million.

The problem is, without Invincible Shield right now, it's hard to say what might happen if they try to leave with such a huge reward.

Of course, the fact that the Invincible Shield was worth far more than 20 million in Li Yang's mind was something he couldn't tell them.

Forget 20 million, I wouldn't sell it even for 80 million.

Such treasures are extremely rare and hard to come by.

A price that would be terrifying for others.

But for Li Yang, it was no problem at all.

Jiang Nianchu gave Li Yang a deep look and said with a smile, "Miss Li, rest assured, we will escort you safely out of the Single-Horn Domain."

Li Yang said calmly, "What happens after we leave the Single-Horn Domain? I need my secret treasure, and I won't sell it."

Jiang Nianchu didn't say much. He simply went through the motions and asked the next question, "A client wants to offer 30 million to buy your Growth-Type Divine Weapon."

Lu Yanbie: "!"

He couldn't help but look at Li Yang again, this time with a more uncertain and hesitant gaze.

He naturally saw Li Yang use the Chen Ri Technique.

It was a powerful, Growth-Type Divine Weapon.

Even a fleeting glimpse is enough to awe and terrify.

How did Little Fire Fox get its hands on such a divine weapon?

The Little Fire Fox might unexpectedly find Invincible Shield in some secret realms, but this is Growth-Type Divine Weapon...

Without the support of a powerful force, it would be impossible to create such a thing.

This isn't about money; it's about the exclusivity of scarce resources.

The major powers in each Realm Domain monopolize the key resources for Growth-Type Divine Weapon, making it impossible for them to flow out.

How did you get the Little Fire Fox?

Despite Lu Yanbie's suspicious gaze, Li Yang calmly said to Jiang Nianchu, "She doesn't belong to me. She is an independent individual. We are soulmates, and I have no right to sell her."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yanbie was clearly taken aback again.

Jiang Nianchu smiled meaningfully and said, "Miss Li is truly an interesting person."

Li Yang looked at him and asked, "Is the process complete? May we leave now?"

Jiang Nianchu's fingers twitched slightly, and two bright flowers appeared in his palm.

The flower looked exactly like the red spider lily that Li Yang had seen in her previous life, which is the legendary flower that grows in hell.

Its color is bright red, and its petals hang upside down with slender parts extending outwards like wriggling tentacles.

This is a very beautiful flower, yet it is also filled with danger and eeriness.

Three words flashed through Li Yang's mind: the Flower of Evil.

Lianxin's voice rang out just in time. "Fellow Daoist, don't touch it."

Li Yang didn't dare to ask Lianxin a question.

Given Lianxin's status, no one else could hear what he said to Li Yang, but Li Yang was afraid that his voice would be heard.

Without her needing to ask, Lianxin explained, "This is an incarnation of the Flower of Evil. Although it has no physical form, once it is attached to something, it will produce a large number of spores."

Li Yang: "!"

She understood what had happened.

No wonder the members of Heavenly Endeavor Squad, Tiger-Sheep Squad, and Zero Three Squad had so many spores in their bodies.

After winning the match, did they, under Jiang Nianchu's arrangement, also touch the clone of the Flower of Flower of Evil?

Lu Yanbie stared intently at the two flowers before him, his voice trembling. "Ninth Grade standard..."

Li Yang suddenly turned her head to look at him.

An unease rose in her heart, worrying that Lu Yanbie might succumb to temptation.

The Flower of Flower of Evil's clone is actually Ninth Grade- grade being; no wonder so many people couldn't resist taking it away!

Jiang Nianchu smiled and said, "This is our reward for the champion, Ninth Grade- grade Sacred Heart Flower."

He then explained, "This Sacred Heart Flower will grant you power beyond your own limits, helping you achieve even greater success in the next Life-and-Death Battle."

Lu Yanbie were filled with disbelief.

Jiang Nianchu patiently explained, "The Sacred Heart Flower is incredibly valuable; it comes from a mysterious Sacred Domain. We only give it to popular players who have delivered outstanding performances, and of course, it's a free gift with no extra fees."

"Our Single-Horn Domain needs outstanding performers like you, and we hope you will bring us even more amazing performances in the future."

Having said that, it's hard for anyone to refuse.

Especially since they had just won Life-and-Death Battle, they were in the midst of high spirits.

Even Lu Yanbie, who was usually very cautious, was clearly dazed.

Single-Horn Domain's stance is clear: they need more outstanding Life-and-Death Battle fighters.

The more intense the competition, the more viewers there are, and the higher their profits.

This is a mutually beneficial arrangement, and it's easy to convince these outstanding players.

Li Yang decisively replied, "No need."

Jiang Nianchu looked up at her in surprise.

Li Yang continued, "My strength has already been exposed. Even if I participate in another Life-and-Death Battle, I won't perform any better, so I won't participate in any more Life-and-Death Battle."

Her words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly calming Lu Yanbie down and making him resist the temptation of the Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower.

Little Fire Fox is right, they can no longer participate in Life-and-Death Battle.

The Invincible Shield's effect is limited to its lifespan, Li Yang cannot use it indefinitely.

Once Lu Yanbie obtains this huge amount of Star Coin, he will go into seclusion to break through his cultivation realm.

He cannot become addicted to this kind of place; he must become Grandmaster as soon as possible so that he can finally hold his head high and be a respectable person!

Strangely enough, this Single-Horn Domain seems to possess a magical power that makes those who come here unable to resist developing even more greed.

After surviving a Life-and-Death Battle, Lu Yanbie was noticeably less composed than before. If Little Fire Fox hadn't been constantly reminding him, he might have stepped right in.

Thinking of the spores that dropped after those popular squads died, he felt a chill run down his spine and stopped looking at the Sacred Heart Flower.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. This power, gained out of thin air, will likely come at a much heavier price.

Seeing that Lu Yanbie regained consciousness, Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Nianchu hadn't expected these two to be so determined.

After going through Life-and-Death Battle, he was still able to maintain such calmness and rationality when faced with the Sacred Heart Flower, which could arouse the greed in people's hearts.

That's really troublesome.

Jiang Nianchu continued, "It's precisely because your tactics have been exposed that you need the blessing of the Sacred Heart Flower. As long as you have it, the next match..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Yang suddenly stood up and said, "I don't need it. Can you settle my Star Coin?"

Li Yang will not be bewitched by the Sacred Heart Flower, because she has the Lianxin within her.

But she was worried that Lu Yanbie continue to be bewitched, so she didn't want to stay any longer.

Jiang Nianchu didn't say anything more, only gently saying, "Alright, we respect your decision. However, the amount is huge, and the funds will need some time to circulate. It will probably take about two unicorn days before we can hand over the corresponding amount of anonymous communicators to you."

It would take another two business days, and Li Yang's heart sank.

Since things have come to this, we can only face it.

The Life-and-Death Battle has ended, but the real battle for survival has only just begun.

After Li Yang and Lu Yanbie left, Jiang Nianchu stood up with a smile and bowed to the void.

Jiang Nianchu's voice remained gentle and calm. "Holy Lord, Execution them?"

"Sure," a gentle male voice sounded, seemingly emanating from the two alluring and vibrant flowers, "Go ahead and give it a try."

Chapter 139

As soon as Li Yang stepped out of the office, she gripped the Invincible Shield in her hand and grabbed Lu Yanbie's arm, pulling him to her side to protect him.

Lu Yanbie in his female fire fox hybrid form at this time, so Li Yang holding his arm like this didn't seem intimate.

But Lu Yanbie eyelashes trembled inexplicably.

Li Yang didn't say anything, but gave him a wink.

Lu Yanbie nodded, understanding in his heart.

Despite Jiang Nianchu's polite and courteous manner earlier, the two of them refused numerous times, especially those last two Sacred Heart Flower...

There's no guarantee they won't get enraged and attack them.

Jiang Nianchu is a Grandmaster of the Eighth Grade Realm, so Li Yang and Lu Yanbie could not be too careful.

Li Yang has already contacted Qing Teng.

Qing Teng had been waiting for her news, and was just about to ask her...

Li Yang then said, "Ms. Qing Teng, I'm willing to accept your exclusive interview. Let's begin now."

Upon hearing this, both Lu Yanbie and Qing Teng were taken aback.

But the two reacted quickly, especially Qing Teng, who immediately got into character, saying, "Great, Miss Li! Thank you so much for accepting my interview! I've already synced the footage to the Life-and-Death Battle forum! Everyone is eagerly anticipating your personal recounting of those spectacular battles in the Life-and-Death Battle!"

Lu Yanbie finally realized what had happened; his palms were sweaty, and he felt a wave of fear wash over him.
