2715 800,000 Supreme Celestial Stones

"Thank you, benefactor!" The people from the Lyu clan expressed their gratitude to Duan Ling Tian as well. Similar to Lyu Quan, they could not conceal their delight and excitement as well.

The two heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials from the Qi clan had died! This matter was greatly significant. This meant the Qi clan was no longer an obstruction to them. With their two strongest powerhouses gone, the Qi clan was no match at all for the Lyu clan.

Duan Ling Tian glanced at Lyu Quan indifferently as he brought up the old matter again. "However, it's a fact that I've killed your son…"

"Benefactor, you've given us the entire Qi Lyu City. Not to mention one son, but if you desire, I would have a few more sons so you could kill them if you wish!" Lyu Quan said, somewhat losing himself in his excitement. He had said these words not because he feared Duan Ling Tian and Huan'er, he was truly grateful. If he knew the Lyu clan could rule Qi Lyu City without the Qi clan with just the death of his son, he would have killed his son with his own hands. After all, it was not difficult to see which one was more beneficial to him and the clan. He could have more sons if he lost one, but to annihilate the Qi clan and to be the only clan to rule Qi Lyu City was a hard-to-come-by chance.

Upon hearing Lyu Quan's words, Duan Ling Tian was rendered momentarily speechless. In the end, he no longer harped on the topic. It seemed unnecessary. After all, in Lyu Quan's eyes, the interest of the clan clearly surpassed everything. In the end, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Since I helped your clan to get rid of the two heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials from the Qi clan, making your clan the sole clan to rule over Qi Lyu City, shouldn't your clan repay me?"

"Of course, of course…" Lyu Quan did not hesitate to agree as he glanced at his father.

Then, Lyu Quan and his father simultaneously turned to look at the old ancestor of the Lyu clan meaningfully.

The old ancestor of the Lyu clan looked at Duan Ling Tian and said earnestly, "Benefactor, what do you want? As long as it's within the Lyu clan's capability, we'll give you anything you want!"

Duan Ling Tian did not beat around the bush and said, "First, I want the Lyu clan to find me the biggest and most detailed map." Although he might already have such a map in one of the Spatial Rings of the members of the Qi clan whom he had killed, he could not be bothered to search for it.

Duan Ling Tian nodded as he looked at the people from the Lyu clan. He narrowed his eyes as he said, "My companion and I will be leaving in three days. Before I leave, you must hand over 1,000,000 supreme Celestial Stones."

1,000,000 supreme Celestial Stones!

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, the expressions of the members of the Lyu clan changed drastically one after another.

"Benefactor…" the old ancestor said bitterly, "Our Lyu family can only come up with 300,000 to 400,000 supreme Celestial Stones. If you give us a little more time, perhaps, we can come up with 500,000 to 600,000 supreme Celestial Stones. Three days are too short of a notice."

"Since the two heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials from the Qi clan have died, I'm sure you'll annihilate the Qi clan and seize their assets. After doing that, don't tell me the Lyu clan still wouldn't be able to fork out 1,000,000 supreme Celestial Stones?" Duan Ling Tian replied indifferently.

"Benefactor, there's something you're unaware of," the old ancestor of the Lyu clan took a deep breath to muster up his courage and said, "For clans like the Lyu and Qi clans, at least half of the clans' available wealth is all in the hands of the clan's respective heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials. I… I assume the Spatial Rings of the two heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials from the Qi clan are in your possession, right? If so, this means at least half of the Qi clan's wealth is in your hands, benefactor."

Upon hearing the words of the old ancestor from the Lyu clan, Duan Ling Tian waved his hand rather impatiently and said, "800,000 supreme Celestial Stones! After three days, I expect to be given 800,000 supreme Celestial Stones. Otherwise, the heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials in the Lyu clan can follow in the footsteps of the heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials of the Qi clan."

Duan Ling Tian did not wait for the Lyu clan's reply when he finished speaking. The impatient expression on his face disappeared as he turned to Huan'er and said with a smile, "Huan'er, let's go!"

"Okay," Huan'er replied in a cute manner before she followed Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian and Huan'er's figures gradually disappeared before the eyes of the members of the Lyu clan. No one dared to utter a word as they watched the duo leave. After all, they knew the purple-clad young man had already made a big concession by asking for 800,000 supreme Celestial Stones instead of 1,000,000 supreme Celestial Stones.

When the duo's figures finally disappeared, the former Clan Leader of the Lyu clan muttered, "They… Who the hell are they?!"

"Who knows," Lyu said in reply to his father's question as he shook his head, "They're probably outsiders. It's probable that it's their first time in Qi Lyu City."

The old ancestor from the Lyu clan scoffed and said, "From this moment on, it's no longer Qi Lyu City, it's Lyu City!"

Lyu City!

Upon hearing these words, the eyes of the members of the Lyu clan began to brighten.

Despite his excitement, Lyu Quan asked worriedly, "Old ancestor, would we be able to come up with 800,000 supreme Celestial Stones in three days?" His words were akin to a cold bucket of water being poured on the members of the Lyu clan.

"It doesn't matter if we can come up with it or not, we must come up with it! Didn't you see his attitude earlier?" the old ancestor from the Lyu clan said in a lowered voice. Then, he turned to look at the former Clan Leader of the Lyu clan and ordered, "Lyu Jiu, after we annihilate the Qi clan, make a trip to the neighboring cities and borrow as many supreme Celestial Stones as you can from the clans and sects that have a good relationship with our clan."

"Yes, old ancestor." The former Clan Leader of the Lyu clan respectfully accepted the task that was given to him. Although he was also a heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial, the old ancestor's strength was far superior to his strength. Moreover, the old ancestor's seniority was much higher than his. For this reason, he did not dare to act arrogantly before the old ancestor.

Subsequently, the members of the Lyu clan pounced on the Qi clan like starving wolves.

The Qi clan that had lost its two heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials was like a sheep, unable to stand the attack from the Lyu clan. It did not take long for the Lyu clan to kill all the Great Overarching Golden Celestials in the Qi clan. Naturally, the Lyu clan did not suffer a single casualty. In just a day, the Qi clan, who used to be the Lyu clan's rival, was annihilated.

...

When news of this spread out, it shook Qi Lyu City to its core.

The next day, the Lyu clan did not waste any time and announced that Qi Lyu City would be called Lyu City.

Naturally, no one dared to object to it.

…

In a private room of a restaurant.

Duan Ling Tian listened to the conversations that drifted in from the main hall of the restaurant. He muttered to himself, "They sure acted quickly… Let's hope they're able to produce the 800,000 supreme Celestial Stones on time."

Meanwhile, Huan'er, who had taken off her veil, sat across Duan Ling Tian, devouring the dishes on the table without caring about her image. Even then, she still looked beautiful and flawless from all angles.

Even Duan Ling Tian, whose heart was usually as still as a lake, could not help but glance at Huan'er every once in a while.

After about half an hour, Huan'er wiped the oil stains from her mouth, looking rather satisfied. She said with a smile, "Big Brother Ling Tian, I've eaten my fill. The food in the outside world is really delicious! In the future, you'll have to bring me to eat delicious food every day, okay?"

Duan Ling Tian nodded with a faint smile on his face. "No problem, as long as Huan'er is happy." He did not seem bothered by the change in the way Huan'er addressed him.

After leaving the Qi clan yesterday, both of them had roamed the streets of Qi Lyu City, and he had bought several things for her. While they were strolling around, they encountered a few couples who addressed each other intimately. After listening to the way the couples addressed each other, Huan'er unexpectedly changed the way she addressed Duan Ling Tian. She no longer called him Duan Ling Tian. Instead, she began to call him Big Brother Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian, naturally, did not put much thought into this. After all, he knew Huan'er was innocent and was not wise to the ways of the world. She was like a blank sheet of paper.

After a brief moment, Duan Ling Tian asked with a smile, "Now that we've eaten, shall we go for a stroll again?"

"Yes! There are many things I like that I didn't get to buy yesterday!" Huan'er nodded like a chick pecking on grains on the ground.

The duo leisurely strolled around Qi Lyu City, or Lyu City as it was now called, for the remaining two days.

...

Two days later, the duo appeared in the Lyu clan's estate.

"Greetings, benefactor!"

"Greetings, benefactor!"

All the high-ranking members of the Lyu clan stood at the entrance and respectfully greeted the duo in unison upon the duo's arrival.

Duan Ling Tian looked at the old ancestor of the Lyu clan and bluntly asked, "Did you prepare the things I asked for?" He did not bother asking the others, it was easy to tell the old ancestor of the Lyu clan had the highest authority in the clan.

"Yes, benefactor," the old ancestor of the Lyu clan replied respectfully as a Spatial Ring appeared in his hand.
