Chapter 168

Translator: 549690339

Xu Yan couldn’t understand how all these folks from the Demonic Sect were so poor?

As a result, he couldn’t even make a fortune.

“I have killed another Grandmaster for you, don’t you think the price should increase? A thousand spirit crystals for a Grandmaster’s life, that’s rather disrespectful to the Grandmaster, isn’t it?”

Xu Yan looked seriously at Du Yuying.

In the carriage, Yan Kuan was having doubts about life.

Since when were Grandmasters so easy to kill?

With a single slap, killing them as if swatting mosquitoes, where did this monster come from?

He was also a Grandmaster, having cultivated for hundreds of years with countless hardships, finally achieving the respect of a Grandmaster, but found out now that a Grandmaster was so cheap, with a thousand spirit crystals, you could kill one?

He was shocked!

Even the injuries on his body didn’t hurt so much anymore.

Du Yuying looked at Xu Yan with a serious expression, then nodded, “How about three thousand spirit crystals?”

Xu Yan said, taking the spirit ticket from Cui’er, “I think Grandmasters are not cabbages; they do have some strength. It’s not easy for me to kill them, it’s hard work.”

Du Yuying and the others looked at him puzzled. Killing a Grandmaster with a single slap, this is not easy?

“It’s really insulting to the Grandmaster to measure them with spirit crystals, 1 can’t bear to see it!”

Xu Yan sighed.

Yan Kuan secretly agreed, it was indeed insulting to measure a Grandmaster’s worth with spirit crystals!

Before he met this guy, no Grandmaster had ever been slapped to death for a thousand spirit crystals!

“What’s your suggestion?”

Du Yuying asked in deep thought.

“Do you have a treasure bag? Give me one, and I promise I’ll kill as many Grandmasters as come!”

Xu Yan looked expectantly at Du Yuying.

With her unique status and the repeated attacks by the Grandmasters from the Demonic Sect, he wondered if she might have a treasure bag.

Ever since he found out that such treasures as treasure bags existed in the world, he had been coveting them incessantly.

Du Yuying and the others were stunned, a treasure bag?

That was a treasure that not even a Great Grandmaster necessarily possessed! How dare he ask for it directly!

“Is it difficult?”

Xu Yan looked at their faces, a little embarrassed.

“It’s more than difficult. Treasure bags are so rare that many Great Grandmasters don’t even have one. This may sound harsh, but the truth is a Grandmaster’s life isn’t worth as much as a treasure bag!”

Du Yuying sighed.

Xu Yan was tongue-tied. Were treasure bags really that precious? They were worth more than a Grandmaster’s life?

“It looks like you’re in a lot of trouble. Two Grandmasters have already come. Did you poke a hornet’s nest in the Demonic Sect? A few thousand spirit crystals for killing a Grandmaster isn’t enough!”

Having been in the Inner Domain for only a short time and already killed two Grandmasters of the Demonic Sect, Xu Yan began to wonder if Grandmasters were common in the Inner Domain, and not so high-level martial artists after all.

Du Yuying went silent. Having Xu Yan escort her home was an unexpected blessing. She hadn’t expected him to be so strong, killing Grandmasters as easily as swatting mosquitoes. Each slap was lethal!

Moreover, those who attacked her were actually Grandmasters from the Demonic Sect. There was something unusual behind this.

If it hadn’t been for Xu Yan’s escort, she feared that she would have fallen into the hands of the Demonic Sect.

“What does Master mean?”

Du Yuying asked.

“Spiritual medicine! I need spiritual medicine!”

Xu Yan had it figured out. He had already made a lot of spirit crystals, and the purpose of making spirit crystals was to buy spiritual medicine.

So why not just ask for spiritual medicine as a reward directly?

“Master, please do tell!”

Du Yuying let out a sigh of relief. After all, spiritual medicine could be bought with spirit crystals.

“A sixth-ranked spiritual medicine for killing a Grandmaster!”

Xu Yan raised a finger and said.

“Sixth-ranked spiritual medicine is rare, and even a regular county’s Tianbao Pavilion might not have it. It’s an elusive kind of spiritual medicine. To be honest, I can’t bring out a sixth-ranked spiritual medicine.”

Du Yuying showed a helpless face.

Sixth-ranked spiritual medicine was so rare and precious?

This went beyond Xu Yan’s expectation. After thinking over, he said, “Even seventh-ranked spiritual medicine, one for killing a Grandmaster, can’t be less. You should know that’s a Grandmaster’s life we’re talking about!”

“Fine!”

Du Yuying nodded and agreed.

After the terms were agreed upon, Xu Yan was overjoyed. He didn’t ask Du Yuying how she had provoked the Grandmasters of the Demonic Sect or what her identity was.

After completing the escort and receiving the reward, whether or not they would meet again in the future remained uncertain. Xu Yan didn’t have that much curiosity.

After a night, the group continued the journey.

Half a day later, several men dressed in black attacked, but they were all merely second or third rank in strength. Xu Yan didn’t bother to make a move against these men—who seemed to be on suicide missions—since they likely wouldn’t possess any spirit crystals.

Du Yuying’s guards attacked them, including the first-ranked coachman, and killed all the attackers.

On the third day after leaving Tieshan County, they entered a county town to restock. As usual, Du Yuying went to the Tianbao Pavilion to find healing spiritual medicine for Yan Kuan.

However, the county city’s Tianbao Pavilion didn’t have the spiritual medicine she needed.

After leaving the county city, they continued on their journey.

In the evening, a figure stood in the center of the road.

The aura of the Grandmaster was unmistakable. His piercing eyes emanated a daunting coldness, and his body was filled with an eerie, ominous energy. It was another Grandmaster from the Demonic Sect!

Du Yuying’s eyebrows furrowed in contemplation.

Yan Kuan also became serious. The appearance of one or two Grandmasters from the Demonic Sect was tolerable, but why were they continuously being attacked by Grandmasters from the Demonic Sect?

The anticipated powerful enemy didn’t appear.

Before Xu Yan could make a move, Yan Kuan came out of the carriage and said in a deep voice, “My Du family has had no quarrels with the Demonic Sect.. Why are you here, sir? Which Demon Lord do you serve?”
