Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 693 - 619: Extortion and Incitement (Merged - ) _2

Chapter 693: Chapter 619: Extortion and Incitement (Merged Chapter) _2

He knew the true relationship between the other party and Lin Xuan; she was the one truly in charge of the team.

“Fifty Spirit Stones, that’s not enough,” Ding Shiniang said with a coquettish smile.

“Then how much do you suggest?”

“Five hundred, but you’ll have to pay us in advance,” Ding Shiniang replied. “Being a Warrior for you is a job where one’s head is at risk, if you pay too little, we won’t do it.

Don’t you agree, Little Tree?”

After speaking, Ding Shiniang threw a flirtatious wink at Lou Yi.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Nan immediately realized he had been played.

Five hundred Top Grade Spirit Stones could probably rival the entire accumulation of a small cultivation family.

How could it all be spent on hiring a Warrior whose cultivation hasn’t even reached the Third Level of the Spirit Platform?

With this thought, Zhou Nan was no longer bothered with pretense and sneered, “Golden Evil Child, Lunatic Ming, I suggest it’s better for you to cooperate with me obediently.

Do you know whose treasure that ’Red Spider Lily’ is?”

The Red Spider Lily is a heavenly material and earth treasure of the Yin Element, surely useful to Yin Practitioners.

And among the Yin Practitioners for whom Zhou Nan would work so hard, there seems to be only one such person in the Shisu District.

“Trench Patrol Guest, ’He’?” Ding Shiniang said with uncertainty and doubt.

“Exactly.” Zhou Nan displayed a proud expression, “Trench Patrol Guest Master is exceptionally talented, already strategizing to break through the Sixth Layer of the Spirit Platform.

If you refuse to cooperate like this, do you intend to sabotage the Master’s breakthrough plans?”

His words carried a blatant threat, causing everyone present to change their expressions.

Trench Patrol Guest ’He’ is the overlord of the Shisu District, the most powerful person, known for his undisputed authority; no one dares defy his will easily.

If what Zhou Nan says is true, then the significance of the heavenly materials and earth treasures related to the breakthrough cannot be overstated.

Seeing the change in expressions among Lin Xuan’s group, Zhou Nan felt smug, waiting for them to yield.

“No borrowing.” Who knew that Lin Xuan would still refuse firmly, coldly rejecting.

“Such an important treasure, doesn’t Master Trench Patrol Guest even want to spare five hundred Spirit Stones for it?” This was Ding Shiniang’s comment.

Zhou Nan was immediately stunned.

He didn’t expect that even bringing up Trench Patrol Guest wouldn’t work; were these people crazy over such a newcomer?

“Are you sure you want to report back to Master Trench Patrol Guest like this?” Zhou Nan replied coldly.

“If there’s nothing else, hurry up and leave.” Lin Xuan retorted rudely.

“Alright! Alright! Alright!” Zhou Nan’s complexion turned ashen in anger, even paler than a woman’s.

With a sinister glare at Lin Xuan’s group, he said ’alright’ thrice, then turned and left.

“That dead rabbit, how dare he try to suppress us with the power of Trench Patrol Guest.” Ding Shiniang snorted coldly, and in an attempt to comfort Lou Yi, she added, “Regardless of whether it’s true.

Even if it is true, Trench Patrol Guest can’t act recklessly and lawlessly in the Abyss.

He can’t kill us just because we refuse to lend, right?”

“Indeed, although Trench Patrol Guest is a position set up by the Immortal Alliance in the Abyss, its actual power is not comparable to the City Lord in the main world.

The real masters in the Abyss do not consider Trench Patrol Guest seriously,” Elder Gui said.

After months of practice in the Abyss, Lou Yi had also gained some understanding of the position of Trench Patrol Guest.

The Immortal Alliance established this position mainly to avoid intense internal conflict and slaughter, which would greatly reduce the number of Golden Core seeds and affect the number of Golden Core Masters in the cultivation world.

With Trench Patrol Guest in charge, the districts under his command can be maintained in a relatively stable state.

Since those who come to the Abyss for practice are mostly the prodigies and elders of major sects and families, with cultivations generally above the perfection stage of the Path Foundation.

This requires Trench Patrol Guest to have a cultivation far superior to ordinary cultivators, with the usual minimum being the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform.

Of course, Trench Patrol Guests also need to cultivate, and since their jurisdiction covers a vast area, they often can only devote a small portion of their energy to management.

Most district Trench Patrol Guests maintain a laissez-faire status.

Many cultivators find it hard to even interact with him once throughout the year.

According to Elder Gui, during his years in the Abyss, the Shisu District’s Trench Patrol Guest has already changed twice, with the current one being the third.

“The first two Trench Patrol Guests, one left the Abyss having achieved the Sixth Layer of the Spirit Platform, and was reportedly struck dead by heavenly thunder after a failed breakthrough to the Golden Core.

The other only had the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform but had to leave the Abyss to take a dangerous gamble as his lifespan was running out.

Although I don’t know the result, I haven’t heard any news about him for years…” Elder Gui shook his head and sighed.

Everyone felt heavy-hearted hearing this.

The road to condensing a Golden Core is as hard as ascending the heavens, and even someone as strong as Trench Patrol Guest has a low success rate.

“That’s why Trench Patrol Guest doesn’t have much time to worry about us, so you needn’t be overly concerned,” Elder Gui said.

Lou Yi clasped his fists in gratitude: “This time, it’s obvious they came for me, thank you all for resolving my worries.”

“We’re in the same team, what’s the point of saying so much?” Lin Xuan said loudly, “Weren’t you all fighting demons desperately for me last time?”

The others in the team silently nodded in response.

Lou Yi felt deeply moved by what he saw.

In the Abyss, some view their team as merely a temporary shelter, maintaining indifferent relationships with teammates.

While others see every team member as a friend they can entrust with their backs.

People and people, sometimes, aren’t the same.

’If things really get out of hand later, I’ll quietly leave,’ Lou Yi decided secretly in his heart.

However, for now, he still needed this team to shelter him, to help him through his period of weakness.
