“Elder Liu was just venting his anger, it wasn’t the result of our discussion.”

Shen Shijie thought to himself, “When I get the information from the Sky Abyss Restricted Zone, I can turn the tables. For now, avoiding a fight is the best choice. After all, no amount of resources will matter if we’re dead.”

Most importantly, if he really wanted to kill, Shen Shijie wasn’t absolutely sure he could leave the Mystic Azure Sect alive.

“So, in other words, the seniors are actually willing to compensate me for my mental distress!”

Chen Qingyuan’s face changed instantly, from cold and indifferent to warm and smiling.

“Yes,” Shen Shijie tightly pursed his chapped lips and nodded. “How much do you want?”

“It depends on the sincerity of the seniors.”

Chen Qingyuan had to keep the initiative in his own hands and not reveal his bottom line.

After a moment, the strong members of each sect gathered a total of twenty thousand high-quality spirit stones through sound transmission.

“Is this all?” Chen Qingyuan looked at the large pile of spirit stones in front of him, not showing much smile. “You are all big shots from the Flow Star Domain, how can you be so stingy?”

“What do you mean?”

Shen Shijie endured and asked in a low voice.

“At least ten times more, otherwise, forget it.”

Chen Qingyuan pretended to think, and said seriously.

Since the money had already been given, adding a little more was no harm.

So, everyone gathered some more, a total of twenty-two thousand high-quality spirit stones, all placed in front of Chen Qingyuan.

After filling the spirit stones, Chen Qingyuan put them in a large Heaven and Earth Bag, which could only hold one-tenth.

“Senior Sister, can I borrow your Heaven and Earth Bag?”

Chen Qingyuan turned to a senior sister.

“Take it all!”

The senior sister threw out all the Heaven and Earth Bags without hesitation.

“Junior Brother, use mine.”

“And mine.”

“Junior Brother, if I lend you my Heaven and Earth Bag, there will be interest, and you can’t default on it later.”

With so many spirit stones, the martial brothers and others were stunned, taking out their own spatial items one after another, and even started doing business.

Lin Changsheng, as the Sect Master, couldn’t help but twitch his mouth. He really couldn’t stand these unruly kids, none of them were well-behaved. What kind of scene was this? How could they be so greedy for money? They were all like a bunch of inexperienced guys.

But then again, Lin Changsheng was also slightly moved. So many spirit stones were enough to buy several second-rate forces.

One spirit vein was completely mined, and it was worth a hundred thousand pieces at most.

Here was the total output of two high-quality spirit veins, which was astonishing.

After packing the spirit stones, Chen Qingyuan put them on his body, and his clothes bulged.

“Can I search your soul now?”

Shen Shijie’s face was solemn, and his patience had reached its limit.

The main event was coming, and it had finally reached this point.

The people of the Mystic Azure Sect immediately became alert and prepared for a bloody battle.

Lin Changsheng sighed inwardly. Even though Chen Qingyuan had fooled so many resources, it couldn’t change the final outcome. No matter how many resources, it would be in vain without life.

At the beginning, Chen Qingyuan deliberately threw out a smokescreen, causing the strong members of each sect to think that they could achieve their goals without fighting.

Then, Chen Qingyuan slowly began to fish, pulling the spirit stones out of their pockets. Those who were willing to fight would fight, after all, the overall strength of the Mystic Azure Sect was here, and their attitude was tough. No one wanted to fight to the death.

At this point, what should Chen Qingyuan do?

It seemed that Chen Qingyuan had long prepared a way to deal with it. He cleared his throat and said seriously, “I did say before that the matter of soul searching could be discussed and negotiated.”

“Chen, you just need to keep your promise, otherwise, the consequences will be very serious.”

Hearing this, Shen Shijie and the others thought that Chen Qingyuan had agreed and were very satisfied.

Lin Changsheng and the others felt a little anxious. Could they really let their junior brother be soul searched?

We promised our senior brother to take good care of our junior brother, how could we push him into the fire?

Although the soul-searching technique wouldn’t harm others’ lives, it was difficult to guarantee that someone with ulterior motives wouldn’t secretly use it. Moreover, this not only involved Chen Qingyuan’s safety, but also the dignity of the Mystic Azure Sect.

If this matter were to continue, Lin Changsheng felt that he wouldn’t be able to face his seniors even after his death, and he wouldn’t be qualified to be buried in the sect’s cemetery.

Lin Changsheng and Dong Wenjun exchanged a glance and decided to take action to protect Chen Qingyuan at the first opportunity.

“After considering it, I have decided to refuse the soul-searching.”

The situation on both sides was very tense, and Chen Qingyuan said seriously.

“Boom—”

A terrible force erupted from Shen Shijie and the others, and he growled, “Chen Qingyuan, are you playing with us?”

At the same time, Dong Wenjun appeared in front of Chen Qingyuan, blocking the terrible pressure.

“I’m not.” Chen Qingyuan was not affected at all. “From start to finish, I never promised to let you search my soul. I just said it could be discussed and negotiated. After considering the mental distress fee you gave me, I think it’s too little, so after some thought, I decided to refuse your rude request.”

“No one has ever dared to play with us. Chen Qingyuan, do you really think we won’t dare to act here?”Shen Shijie took a step forward, the oppressive might of the Tribulation Crossing stage sweeping through every corner of the Mystic Azure Sect, its sound deafening, like thunder that shocks the world.

“Brat, I won’t let you die; I will make you wish you were dead, filled with regret.”

Liu Ruoyi stood shoulder to shoulder with Shen Shijie, her tolerance already at its limit, her expression slightly ferocious, her eyes fixed on Chen Qingyuan.

The others were all hastily invoking their Dao Techniques, ready for battle.

At this moment, Chen Qingyuan received a Sound Transmission, took a deep breath, and finally managed to drag out the time to this moment.

Immediately after, Chen Qingyuan turned his head towards the outside of the hall and shouted loudly, “Old Han, over here!”

Not long ago, upon learning that powerful individuals from various sects were coming, the Mystic Azure Sect immediately secluded Chen Qingyuan to protect him.

Chen Qingyuan immediately used the extremely precious Two-Realm Sound Transmission Stone to have his good brother Han Shan, who was far away in the Yunhai Star Domain, go and seek out the Ghost Doctor.

To make Han Shan take it more seriously, Chen Qingyuan explained the importance of the matter and promised that he had already found a match for Han Shan.

Thus, Han Shan exerted tremendous effort and went to the location of the Ghost Doctor.

Han Shan didn’t know if the Ghost Doctor would help, he could only mention Chen Qingyuan’s name.

Given Chen Qingyuan’s past experiences and his connection with Sword Immortal Changgeng, he believed the Ghost Doctor would definitely help.

Therefore, everything Chen Qingyuan had done just now was mainly to buy time, and incidentally make some extra money. Since they were all enemies, there was no need to be soft-hearted.

“Who?”

At this time, everyone turned their gaze towards the Void outside the hall, where two figures were rapidly approaching.
