“Puff–“
Chu Liang’s statement of fifty thousand almost made Shang Shuwen spit out blood on the spot.
How can you be so shameless when you look so refined?
Fifty thousand sword coins.
That’s really daring.
Even I, a peak master, cannot easily produce fifty thousand sword coins. You, a godly realm cultivator, can have fifty thousand sword coins?
Even if you really have it, if you put such a large amount of sword coins here, Zhang Xingyuan probably wouldn’t dare to touch it, what kind of lawless criminal would dare to commit such a big crime? Only a fool would believe that he robbed you of so much.
After hearing this, Di Nvfeng’s eyes showed a hint of surprise. She probably didn’t expect Chu Liang to say a number even higher than what she had anticipated.
Then, she looked at Chu Liang with a hint of approval in her eyes.
The most devastated one was Zhang Xingyuan behind Shang Shuwen.
At this point, the enemy was clearly stronger than us, and the master intended to settle the matter peacefully. He certainly didn’t mind losing money, but… why did things suddenly become so outrageous?
From fifty to fifty thousand, what kind of crazy multiplication is this?
Is this something a person can say?
He quickly shouted, “How is this possible! Master, have a conscience! I only asked him for fifty sword coins! He’s just making up stories!”
Upon hearing this, Shang Shuwen immediately turned his head and glared at him.
It turns out that the extortion did happen.
This really confirmed his guilt…
When she heard this, Di Nvfeng raised her eyebrows, “Oh? You said fifty, he said fifty thousand, that’s quite a difference. Shang Peak Master, why don’t we do this…”
She turned her gaze to Zhang Xingyuan and her mouth curved up.
“I’ll burn him and see how many sword coins he really has on him. If he really has fifty thousand, then we’ll leave with it. If not, then I’ll apologize and compensate.”
“How about it?”
Puff.
As soon as she said this, Zhang Xingyuan immediately fell heavily to the ground, his knees making a muffled sound. His legs were trembling and he couldn’t stand up anymore!
It’s not that he wanted to be so useless.
But when Di Nvfeng looked at him and casually mentioned the word “burn”, perhaps to others it sounded like a threat, but in that instant… he felt that Di Nvfeng could really kill him with a single lift of her hand!
As easy as crushing an ant!
That was the aura and pressure of a Dao realm cultivator, as well as the murderous aura honed in a sea of corpses and blood. Even if it was just a trace left on his shoulder, it was something he couldn’t bear.
Unbeknownst to him, his face was already filled with extreme shock and tears.
Shang Shuwen took a step forward and stood in front of Zhang Xingyuan, trying to protect his disciple. But his cultivation level was only average among the peak masters of Shu Mountain. His peak sixth realm was enough to establish a sect in the martial world, but it was not enough to face Di Nvfeng.Under the pressure of Di Nvfeng, Chu Liang groaned and looked serious.
After a pause, he said, “I can compensate you with at most five thousand sword coins, and this matter will be settled. If you still don’t give up, I will report to the Law Enforcement Court and the Infinite Palace. I will never compromise.”
After all, Cloud Remote Peak was in the wrong, and the other party was someone they couldn’t afford to offend. Shang Shuwen could only choose to bleed heavily to resolve the matter.
Fifty thousand sword coins were completely groundless, and five thousand was already a significant amount.
“Five thousand?” Di Nvfeng narrowed her eyes, with a dangerous glint flashing, seemingly considering it before looking at Chu Liang. “Is that okay?”
“My master has always taught me that our Silver Sword Peak should be kind to others,” Chu Liang nodded. “I think since Master Shang wants to reconcile, we shouldn’t damage the harmony among fellow disciples.”
“Exactly,” Di Nvfeng smiled, and the pressure around them suddenly loosened, as if the clouds had cleared up. The breathing and intestines of everyone on Cloud Remote Peak became smoother. “Our Silver Sword Peak values being kind to others. If it’s just forty-five thousand, let’s just become friends.”
“More friends mean more paths,” Chu Liang nodded.
Di Nvfeng patted her chest again. “We are buddies from now on.”
The master and disciple laughed and joked, and the previously suppressed atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Only Shang Shuwen’s face remained solemn. After a moment of silence, he raised his hand and threw out a jade slip. Di Nvfeng caught it.
“Take the sword coins and go. I still have to take care of the family affairs of Cloud Remote Peak.” Shang Shuwen suppressed his tone as much as possible and issued the order to leave.
“Goodbye.” Di Nvfeng caught the small storage jade slip and scanned it with her divine sense. After confirming the number of sword coins inside, she no longer lingered.
The master and disciple immediately returned home with a triumphant look.
Shang Shuwen was left alone, turning around and looking at his disciples who were still kneeling on the ground with lingering fear, as well as the ruins that were once his home but now turned into scorched earth.
“What happened?” he asked.
“It was… it was Shang Junior Brother,” Zhang Xingyuan knew that the matter had escalated to such an extent that he could no longer cover it up. He directly revealed that it was Shang Ziliang who asked him to help teach the Silver Sword Peak disciple a lesson. “I did it because… because of him…”
“Shang Ziliang?” Shang Shuwen’s eyebrows finally furrowed when he heard his son’s name.
Without hesitation, he wrote his name in the air, and a gust of wind brought Shang Ziliang over.
Shang Ziliang was originally on Cloud Remote Peak and naturally knew what had just happened. He was nervous, and in a blink of an eye, he found himself being dragged over by his father.
Facing the cold and indifferent Shang Shuwen, Shang Ziliang’s head was sweating profusely like a waterfall.”What’s going on?” Shang Shuwen’s tone remained calm.
However, Shang Ziliang knew that this was what his father looked like when he was most furious.
“Dad…” He couldn’t help but shiver, his speech incoherent, “That… I confess, I confess everything. But before that, I want to confirm one thing. That is…”
“Am I your biological child?”
…
“Your performance today was quite impressive.”
Inside the loft of Silver Sword Peak, Di Nvfeng praised Chu Liang.
“I was worried that you wouldn’t say enough, but you ended up saying more than I expected. You’re quite bold for a young man.”
“It’s all thanks to your guidance, Master.” Chu Liang remained modest and cautious.
“Keep up the good work.” Di Nvfeng nodded.
Chu Liang didn’t respond, but just looked at Di Nvfeng without saying a word.
“What’s wrong?” Di Nvfeng asked curiously.
“Master, we made quite a profit today, huh…” Chu Liang smiled.
“Heh, you really are…” Di Nvfeng also smiled, “Don’t worry, you won’t miss out on your share. I’ll split it seventy-thirty with you!”
As she said this, Di Nvfeng flicked her wrist and tossed a bag of sword coins to Chu Liang.
Chu Liang caught it and weighed it with his hand, finding only about a hundred coins. He scanned it with his divine sense and immediately counted the number, one hundred and fifty.
“Master?” He blinked.
“Seventy-thirty split, right? You get thirty percent, I get ninety-seven percent. Is there a problem?” Di Nvfeng said confidently.
“…” Chu Liang was speechless.
However, today was indeed all thanks to Di Nvfeng’s efforts, and it was already quite good for him to be able to take advantage of the situation. He was also familiar with his master’s conduct and knew that once the money was in her hands, it was as good as gone. It was already quite generous of her to let some slip through the cracks for him.
So he didn’t dwell on it.
As long as he could sell his fruit tea peacefully, he could still live a good life and strive for prosperity.
As he was talking, he suddenly felt a tremor in his chest.
A soul summoning order?
