Chapter 249: Chapter 231: Zheng Feng’s Bounty
Translator: 549690339
“Senior Zheng Feng is indeed in a hurry.” Xu Yuexian said with a smile.
“Isn’t it just repaying ten times the amount? With senior’s wealth, that is more than sufficient.’
“After returning the property to this junior, 1 will remove the foul smell for senior. Afterwards, Senior Zheng Feng will still be a stealthy thief who comes and goes without a trace.”
“Isn’t this a good thing, a win-win outcome, senior only loses a bit of insignificant wealth.”
With her protective shield resisting Zheng Fengs attacks, Xu Yuexian said calmly.
As if she wasn’t worried about the situation at all.
Fury-filled Zheng Feng, upon hearing Xu Yuexian’s words, regained a bit of his sanity and started to seriously consider what Xu Yuexian had said.
Extracting ten times the amount of what was inside Xu Yuexian’s space ring, to him, was just a minor injury at best, and it wouldn’t affect him much.
But if the stalemate continues and the opponent really reveals his identity as she promised, the future troubles would be unending.
On top of that, he had used every means possible and still couldn’t break Xu Yuexian’s protective shield.
Zheng Feng ceased his attack, his gaze at Xu Yuexian clouded with uncertainty.
“Little girl, state your name.” Zheng Feng said.
“Junior, Zhang Meimei, has senior seen the light?” Xu Yuexian looked at Zheng Fengs expression and laughed even more.
“If I repay tenfold, are you certain you will remove the foul smell on me?” “Junior can make a Heavenly Dao Oath, I won’t joke about my own future.” Xu
Yuexian said.
Zheng Feng thought for a while, and finally decided to repay tenfold. The foul smell on his body, although he had found a way to mask it, only made it undetectable to others while he still had to endure the suffering it caused.
“Alright, you first make the Heavenly Dao Oath, afterward I will repay you tenfold.” Zheng Feng said, his heart started to strategize. Once the foul smell on his body was removed, he would steal back and let someone else open the space ring.
As for the message from the communication treasure being exposed, with no cause and effect mark on his body at that time, he wouldn’t fear anything.
“Alright.”
Xu Yuexian subsequently made the Heavenly Dao Oath, primarily promising that if Zheng Feng repays tenfold of what he stole from her, Xu Yuexian would help him eliminate the foul smell on his body.
Later, at the strong request of Zheng Feng, the removal of the Cause and Effect Mark was also included in it.
After the Heavenly Dao Oath was completed, Zheng Feng threw over a space ring, which indeed contained Xu Yuexian’s original things along with some other heavy treasures.
Xu Yuexian did a quick calculation and it was already more than ten times the value.
“Senior Zheng Feng is indeed generous.” Xu Yuexian said.
“Little girl, I’ve given you the things as per your request, eliminate the foul smell on me quickly.” Zheng Feng said.
“Don’t tell me you want to violate the Heavenly Dao Oath.” Zheng Feng looked at Xu Yuexian with dangerous eyes.
“Senior, don’t be anxious, to get rid of the foul smell I need my master’s
Supreme Talisman.”
“My master’s orthodox disciples are rushing to this place.”
“You dare to deceive me!” Zheng Feng raged.
“Senior Zheng Feng, don’t be anxious, if the foul smell on senior could be broken by ordinary means, you wouldn’t have had to wait until now.”
“This is a Divine Ability created by my master, only his talisman guess can solve it.” Xu Yuexian quickly reassured.
“Girl, I’ll believe you this one more time.”
“All of my Divine Abilities are for escaping, even if a Mahayana Esteemed One comes, I can still escape.”
“When that time comes and your Heavenly Dao Oath is not accomplished, you better be careful.” Zheng Feng said in a gloomy tone.
“Senior, rest assured, I do understand this.’
At this point, outside of the Sky Sword Immortal City, the Demon Suppression Star was released by Xiong Li, it slowly flew toward the sky and then disappeared without a trace.
Xiong Li also drove the Spirit Boat towards Xu Yuexian’s location.
Two hours later, just as Zheng Fengs patience was about to run out, Xiong Li arrived with a talisman, meeting up with Xu Yuexian.
“Sect Leader, this is the talisman that Pu Tao wanted me to pass on to you.” Xiong Li told her telepathically.
“Mm,”
Xu Yuexian, taking the talisman, said to Zheng Feng, “Senior Zheng Feng, you can see how sincere I am, even the disciple sent to deliver the talisman is only at the Foundation Establishment Stage.”
“With this, you can be assured.” Xu Yuexian said rather casually as she tossed the talisman to Zheng Feng who was far away.
“You know your place.” Zheng Feng took the talisman and responded with a cold snort.
“How do I activate this talisman?” Zheng Feng asked, he was eager to remove the foul smell on his body.
Being enveloped with a foul smell made him feel like even the Spiritual Qi he absorbed was foul.
“Senior just needs to read out the script on it.” Xu Yuexian said with a smile, as she looked at the talisman, she was reminded of her master’s bad taste.
Zheng Feng looked at the talisman in his hand, slowly read out the script on it.
“Woatsutbe, Xihanshil?”
As soon as he finished reading, Zheng Feng was surrounded by a green Spiritual Qi, and the script he had just read started to echo in his ears.
Shortly after, Zheng Feng once again smelled the sweet fresh air.
“Senior Zheng Feng, our deal has been fulfilled. If there is nothing else, I will leave first.’
Xu Yuexian was about to leave with Xiong Li to return to their sect.
At this moment, Xu Yuexian noticed that the space ring in her hand had been replaced again, and Zheng Feng was nowhere to be found.
“Little girl, you still have much to learn if you want to joke with me.” The voice seemed extremely smug, as if all the grievances he suffered have been repaid tenfold.
“Sect Leader, my space ring was stolen.” Xiong Li said helplessly.
“It’s fine, we’ll have this Nascent Soul Stage senior repay us a hundredfold later.” Xu Yuexian said laughing with narrowed eyes. “Too small, senior’s scheme is too small.’
“Wouldn’t it be much more perfect if you killed us?”
Just as Zheng Feng was about to leave, he suddenly felt ill at ease, sensing an unknown danger encircling his heart.
At this moment, the puppet in front of Xu Yuexian suddenly formed a seal, and a dark blue protective shield enveloped Xu Yuexian and Xiong Li. “Xiong Li, feel the power of our Hidden Spirit Sect’s strongest weapon.”
An unusual sound echoed in the sky, as if the entire space was being punctured.
A dark blue pillar of light came down directly piercing through the entire sky, and a blue metal rod exploded not far from Zheng Feng.
In an instant, the surrounding space was entirely sealed, and a wave of incredibly powerful spiritual power diffused in all directions.
Zheng Feng tried to escape, but his soul seemed to be fixed in place, unable to move.
He could only watch helplessly as the wave of spiritual power swept over him, and in an instant, Zheng Feng passed out.
Then the wave of spiritual power dissipated, sweeping the entire surrounding area for a hundred miles, and all the beings impacted by the wvave, passed out too.
Only the two people inside the dark blue protective shield remained unscathed.
Xu Yuexian and Xiong Li slowly walked up to Zheng Feng, who had fainted.
“Xiong Li, go ahead and claim the prize.” Xu Yuexian said with a smile,
“Okay.”
Xiong Li, with his two-meter-tall body as solid as a diamond king, squatted in front of the unconscious Zheng Feng and began a meticulous search.
Eventually, all Zheng Feng had left was a piece of clothing closest to his body.
A pair of Cloud-Stepping Boots, four Space Rings, a top-tier Spatial Treasure, and a Thousand Illusions Daoist Robe. “Master, this is all he had.” Xiong Li said.
“Hmm, it’s acceptable.”
Xu Yuexian took the Space Ring nonchalantly, began to rummage around, and the expression on his face grew increasingly delighted.
A tiny jade bottle containing two drops of golden origin and Xiong Li’s Space Ring appeared in Xu Yuexian’s hands.
“Here, as promised, I’m returning a hundred folds.” Xu Yuexian said with a smile.
Xiong Li took the items naturally, as if accepting something from an elder at home.
“Thank you, Master, in the future if there are things like this, can I still be invited?” Xiong Li chuckled.
A flick on Xiong Li e s head resulted in him groaning in pain as he squatted down, clutching his head.
“Dream on, you’re hogging all the good luck, what about the other disciples?”
Xu Yuexian glared at Xiong Li.
“Master, I was wrong.” said Xiong Li, nursing his head.
“Alright, take this little thief back to Sky Sword Immortal City with me.”
“The people of Tianluo Hall must be getting antsy by now.” Xu Yuexian said.
“Yes.
Xiong Li picked up Zheng Fengs legs and followed Xu Yuexian toward Sky Sword Immortal City.
Two hours later, the duo encountered the Tianluo Hall’s manager waiting at the Sky Sword Academy in the Sky Sword Immortal City.
“This is Zheng Feng; verify the goods.”
‘Thud~’
Xiong Li casually tossed him on the ground.
The manager of the Tianluo Hall’s eyes sparkled as he grabbed Zheng Fengs head to examine him.
“Good, this is indeed Zheng Feng.”
“Zhang Daoyou, this is the bounty for Zheng Feng. Please keep it.”
The manager of Tianluo Hall handed Xu Yuexian a Space Ring containing 500,000 top-grade spirit stones, then disappeared from Sky Sword Immortal City with Zheng Feng.
“Not bad, I did not expect to make such a profit this time.” Xu Yuexian looked at the Space Ring in his hand and said before putting the ring away. At this moment, Xiong Li stuttered, “Master, that… that…”
“What are you trying to say? Hurry up and spit it out.” Xu Yuexian said impatiently.
“When I was coming, Pu Tao told me that the cost of deploying the Demon
Suppression Star is 200,000 top-grade spirit stones, and that shot cost 100,000 top-grade spirit stones,” Xiong Li nervously said, clueless about how much Xu Yuexian had profited.
He just felt that no matter what, it wouldn’t exceed 300,000 top-grade spirit stones, and Xu Yuexian might end up losing money this time.
“Did Pu Tao say this?” Xu Yuexian asked in surprise.
“Yes, Pu Tao also said that the Great Master is in closed-door cultivation, so the rent for any sect equipment needs to be paid for with spirit stones.”
“Alright.”
Xu Yuexian took 200,000 top-grade spirit stones from the Space Ring and handed the ring back to Xiong Li.
“Tell Pu Tao when you get back, I will suggest to my master to refine another
Pu Tao.” Xu Yuexian said menacingly.
“Understood.’
After saying this, Xiong Li left with the Space Ring to go to the teleportation array at the center of Sky Sword Immortal City, bidding farewell to Xu
Yuexian.
Meanwhile, on Hidden Spirit Island.
Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes, and a tiny immortal script was inscribed onto Xu Fan’s Golden Core.
“It’s indeed difficult to navigate this Golden Core realm. Mastering even slightly complex immortal scripts can be quite strenuous.” Xu Fan lamented.
“But the gains have been good. Although I haven’t wholly mastered this time attribute immortal script yet, once I reach the Nascent Soul Stage, I can refine the Dao Artifact Level Time Hut again.”
“Thinking about it now, the system’s restrictions on me are not that severe,” Xu Fan said, touching his chin.
“At least it leaves a way for time acceleration..”
