Chapter 753 - Desperate

"The Blue Dragon Sect, one of the super lineages of the Nine Heavens, is shameless enough to rob someone in broad daylight?" Ryan smirked. Against the butler, he was truly no match and could only buy time to escape.

"We are doing this for the betterment of our sect. Fret not, we are not robbing you. We are more than willing to compensate you for the Eternity Gold with additional interest. After all, we aren't that shameless." The butler calmly said. The Eternity Gold held great importance for them. The sect had been searching for this gold for a very long time now but to no avail.

Now that the gold was in front of them, how could they afford to lose it? Even if it meant offending another powerhouse, they didn't care.

"You must know what lineage I am from, but you are still pushing this matter." Ryan said, "Is the Eternity Gold really worth that type of risk?"

The clan behind Ryan wasn't to be underestimated. Even the Blue Dragon Sect would have to think twice before offending them. This was also the reason why Ryan was confident in doing things against the Blue Dragon Sect.

"Of course, we are aware. However, we still need to get the gold from your hands. Or do you want the Dao Monarch himself get it from you? Remember, he isn't the merciful and amiable type like me." The butler said. What he spoke contained the truth. If the big brother of the young master were to come here, it'd spell big trouble.

"It's not like your sect is the only who have a living Dao Monarch." Ryan sneered. Although he said this, he doubted that their Dao Monarch would come to his rescue.

"It appears to me that you will not be able to be convinced with talking." The butler was running out of time. His domain would soon disappear and it'd give Ryan a chance to escape. If he let him escape, he was sure to receive a punishment from the young master. And judging by the young master's personality, it wouldn't end with just bruises.

"Agh!" Ryan could feel that the pressure became heavier as his body was bombarded with it. He tried to use a treasure to protect himself but it wouldn't activate.

"Let me take that Eternity Gold from you." The butler dashed towards Ryan, aiming for the gold. With how powerless Ryan was against the pressure, he was certain that he could grab the gold without difficulty.

Ryan saw this and tried to move several steps backwards. However, it wasn't successful as the pressure became heavier and pinned him down to the ground motionless. Treasures didn't work in this domain, thus he was powerless and defenseless.

Now, the butler was in front of the pinned Ryan. He looked at him with cold eyes and spoke, "Now, please don't be shy to ask for compensation when I get the Eternity Gold from you."

Ryan began panicking. It was the worst case scenario. He didn't want the Eternity Gold, which he spent all of his fortunes to, be stolen just like that. Out of desperation, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "If anyone can hear me, help me! If you do, I can promise one wish! Please help me! Anyone!"

"Why are you asking for help?" The butler clicked his tongue, "It's not like I'm going to kill you. Besides, you are in my domain so how will that be possible someone come to your rescue? Now, let me take it."

The butler soon stretched his hand towards Ryan. He was about to scan his inventory when the world suddenly changed once again. Shocked, the butler couldn't help but back away.

"My domain is broken?" It seemed likely but the butler wasn't sure to believe it.

Ryan looked at his surroundings. Indeed, although it was still a forest, it wasn't longer under the butler's influence.

"Yeah, your domain is broken. Isn't it obvious?" An unfamiliar voice sounded.

The butler looked at the figure suspiciously. It was a man with ordinary features. There was nothing special about him but the butler never judged a person by appearances, he could feel that something was off about this man.

Jin Rou walked between the butler and Ryan. He looked at Ryan and said, "I heard your request. I will be looking to the one wish you can grant me."

Ryan looked at Jin Rou. For some reason, he felt he was familiar with the person in front of him.

"Who are you?" The butler's voice was cold and serious. Right now, things shouldn't be complicated, "No, whoever you are, I request you to leave. This is a matter between our sect and the Scholar. Please don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong to."

"Don't stick my nose where it doesn't belong to?" Jin Rou chuckled, "In the first place, you are the one robbing him of a treasure he won fair and square. And of course, it has something to do with me."

"What do you mean by that?" The butler was confused. What might be his connection in this issue? Soon, he realized something and his eyes widened as he looked at Jin Rou, "You are..."

Jin Rou could clearly see his reaction and said, "Precisely. Now shoo away before I kill you. I'm only letting you go because your sect has a few connection with me."

The butler shuddered. The person in front of him was the mysterious person who sold the Eternity Gold for just a bunch of currency gold. It wasn't difficult to deduce that the person had an extraordinary background. Furthermore, the person said that he had a few connection with their Blue Dragon Sect, thus he was being spared.

He could see the dead seriousness of the person. Right now, the butler felt like an ant in front of an elephant.

There was no need to think of it. Of course, he'd back down. He was the type of person to move when he was certain so he wouldn't risk his life for a mere attempt to gather information.

"Then I excuse myself.." The butler bowed respectfully and left.
