Chapter 2157 - 2158: Utter Hypocrisy! (Third Update)

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Bring out all the treasures for exchange!"

With a command from Emperor Netherworld, a servant presented the treasures acquired this time, one by one.

However, there weren’t many interested parties, since these treasures were usually items the Kongming Divine Race wished to exchange, yet no one needed them.

The only slightly intriguing ones came from the Kongming Divine Race themselves, carrying somewhat competitive value.

Under the Emperor Netherworld’s prompt, a servant quickly sorted through items gained this time, selecting those unwanted by the Kongming Divine Race.

Among them were the Eight Diagram Plate and the genuine Immortal Yang Fire Soul, which Ling Feng was most anticipating!

The value of this item competed with eleventh-rank Immortal Elixir!

However, the Eight Diagram Plate was considered a top-grade Heaven and Earth Treasure, and the Immortal Yang Fire Soul was deemed an impurity, euphemistically named a companion object.

A slight smile hung on Ling Feng’s lips. These two big oversights were destined to be picked up by him!

...

The exchange began.

King Yaun was in charge of bringing out the treasures for trade, but several items in succession had the majority lacking interest.

Finally, it was the turn for that Eight Diagram Plate.

Ling Feng offered a Five-Colored Stone.

Emperor Netherworld, at this point, finally felt relieved but quickly furrowed his brow.

Could the value of the Eight Diagram Plate not be as assessed by the Duobao Three Venerables?

"Brother Ling, the value of this Eight Diagram Plate..." Emperor Netherworld glanced at Ling Feng, about to speak but was interrupted by Ling Feng.

"If Emperor Netherworld feels it’s not worth it, then I won’t exchange for it. I think the Star Essence Stone is rather good."

Suddenly, Emperor Netherworld’s expression changed, hastily saying, "Cough, cough, you misunderstand, young brother. Exchange, we surely will! You’ve contributed greatly to this conference, I have seen it myself. If it were someone else, I might not agree to the trade, but for you, young brother, there’s naturally no problem!"

Ling Feng coldly laughed inside, thinking that Emperor Netherworld was the world’s top hypocrite, greedy and false.

In comparison, someone like Despicable Donkey had the virtue of not being fake or pretentious.

Greed is greed, without any falsehood.

Ling Feng chuckled inwardly but knew he had to follow through smoothly, lightly saying, "Ah, that’s how it is, Elder Netherworld proves fair and upright!"

"Hehe, hehe..."

Emperor Netherworld forced a smile, but inside, he was crying out, regretting speaking a few extra words, resulting in losing five hundred ten thousand crystals for nothing!

For a miser like this, it was downright painful!

The small interlude soon passed, and the exchange continued.

Following that, Ling Feng displayed indifference to all treasures, successfully fooling Emperor Netherworld and securing the Immortal Yang Fire Soul.

Under Ling Feng’s adept acting, Emperor Netherworld truly suspected nothing, handing over the Immortal Yang Fire Soul to Ling Feng without proposing any unreasonable conditions.

Thus, the two Star Essence Stones fell into Emperor Netherworld’s hands, allowing him to finally swallow a suspended mind completely back into his stomach.

His reason for acquiring the Star Essence Stones was largely for personal desire, though indirectly maintaining the stability of Milo Continent’s small world, saving thousands of humans for Ling Feng. Though these people might be unaware of these actions, Ling Feng remained true to his conscience.

Nevertheless, Ling Feng still glanced at the sphere in his possession, containing the Star Essence Stones, capturing his attention somewhat.

Come to think of it, this sphere storing Star Essence Stones and remaining intact over eternal time might possess considerable value itself.

However, Duobao Three Venerables also mentioned it has lost its Spiritual Charm, holding no further value.

Hence, best not to complicate things further, since the desired items were now obtained.

Thus, the exchange meeting finally drew to a close.

The guests present, several forces secretly envious or bitter over the two Five-colored Stones, comparable to a Saint Dao Treasure, finally falling into the hands of the Kongming Divine Race!

Although the Flame Ice Divine Race felt somewhat dissatisfied, they acquired a Moon Wheel, and after weighing pros and cons, chose not to act impulsively.

After all, here was the domain of the Kongming Divine Race, and a falling-out would surely disadvantage them.

In everyone’s eyes, the big winner of this All Star Festival was undoubtedly the Kongming Divine Race.

No matter what, with the possession of the Ancient Star Gate, the Kongming Divine Race was unlikely to lose out.

Besides, the Kongming Divine Race exchanged unwanted treasures to acquire Ling Feng’s two mysterious Five-colored Stones.

From any perspective, Ling Feng was at a significant loss.

In the view of others, Ling Feng was just a young lad, not comparable to a figure like Emperor Netherworld. Even if he incurred loss, he could do nothing about it.

But whether it was truly a loss, only Ling Feng knew within.

Now, Ling Feng only wanted to find a quiet place to refine the Immortal Yang Fire Soul, so his internal Swallowing Flame could gain potential power, breaking through the seal!

Once Swallowing Flame is unleashed, the day he breaks "Soul Sealing" wouldn’t be far.

After all, Swallowing Flame’s greatest ability is devouring!

With Swallowing Flame’s devouring power, consistently eroding Soul Sealing’s seal, Ling Feng didn’t believe the sealing power could contain him for long.

As the exchange meeting ended, guests gradually departed.

Ling Feng left with Yeu Junyao and Fu Xueqing, honoring an agreement with Emperor Netherworld that in three days, he would open a time-space channel to send Ling Feng back to the outside world.
