Chapter 2136 - 2163: Triple the Price

Chapter 2136: Chapter 2163: Triple the Price

However, Ye Feng still had a completely relaxed look on his face, without the slightest trace of worry, watching Sheng Ming and the others, looking utterly at ease.

Mo Tian had no idea where Ye Feng’s confidence was coming from. Sheng Ming was an elder of the Holy Clan, a Boundary Sect expert of the Fate Knowing Realm, with combat power far beyond the norm, and those other Holy Clan experts were also not ordinary Life Realm cultivators.

At this moment Ye Feng and his people had already been heavily injured, their strength reduced to barely a tenth of what it was, yet Ye Feng still dared to act so arrogantly.

"Since you’re so eager to die, I’ll oblige you. Senior Heavenly Illusion!" Ye Feng said calmly—"Boom~~" In an instant, ten world phantoms appeared at once, overlapping together. A pressure terrifying to the extreme instantly pressed down on everyone’s heads, space twisted, and cracks ripped open one after another.

Almost in a heartbeat, ten figures appeared in front of Ye Feng’s group, and the one taking the lead was exactly that expert from within the Fourth Layer Heaven, Heavenly Illusion! Heavenly Illusion was a powerful peak Fate Knowing Realm expert, his cultivation even higher than Sheng Ming’s.

And not only that, the other nine were also Fate Knowing Realm experts, while on Sheng Ming’s side, there was only Sheng Ming as a Fate Knowing Realm cultivator; the rest were all Peeping Life Realm experts, and they were even missing the two people that had gone with Heavenly Illusion.

The two sides simply stood there, facing off against each other. The difference between high and low was instantly obvious; their relative strength could be seen at a glance.

The oppressive force from Heavenly Illusion and the others was like an invisible tsunami, crashing down onto their bodies.

Sheng Ming and the others’ clothes billowed repeatedly, as they felt an indescribable pressure weighing down upon them.

It felt as if their bones were about to be crushed to pieces; their expressions turned extremely ugly. They hadn’t expected there to be ten such powerful existences at Ye Feng’s side. Sheng Ming frowned as he stared at the ten from Heavenly Illusion’s group.

"Who are you people, that you dare interfere in the affairs of the Holy Clan? Aren’t you afraid of our Holy Clan’s retaliation?"

However, upon hearing Sheng Ming’s threat, Heavenly Illusion didn’t care in the least and said indifferently, "We are from the Treasure Pavilion of the Fourth Layer Heaven."

"What!" Instantly, everyone present froze. They hadn’t expected people from the Treasure Pavilion of the Fourth Layer Heaven to appear here.

Although the Holy Clan in the Third Layer Heaven was absolutely a hegemonic existence, in front of the powers of the Fourth Layer Heaven it was nothing at all. If you placed the Holy Clan in the Fourth Layer Heaven, at most it would be considered a third-rate, unranked little force.

But the Treasure Pavilion, even in the Fourth Layer Heaven, counted as a top-tier existence. The Holy Clan wouldn’t dare provoke them.

Sheng Ming frowned at Heavenly Illusion. "Brother, I don’t know what relationship this Ye Feng has with your Treasure Pavilion?"

Heavenly Illusion said blandly, "Brother Ye Feng is a guest of our Treasure Pavilion. We are muscle-for-hire that Brother Ye Feng spent money on."

"Oh?" Hearing Heavenly Illusion’s words, Sheng Ming let out a breath, as if he’d thought of something. He looked at Heavenly Illusion and said, "Since it’s just a matter of money, then we can spend money too. If I pay, I wonder if I can have you refrain from intervening in Ye Feng’s affairs—or even have you turn around and deal with Ye Feng and his few people?"

Heavenly Illusion said coolly, "Naturally not. Ye Feng hired us for one hundred days. That period of time is not over yet. During this time, we can die, but Ye Feng cannot. This is the Treasure Pavilion’s reputation."

Yet Sheng Ming still refused to give up. Ye Feng sneered, "Spend money to hire Senior Heavenly Illusion and the others? You? You think you can afford it?"

Sheng Ming was instantly enraged. The look in Ye Feng’s eyes when he regarded him was as if he were looking at a pauper, full of contempt.

This made Sheng Ming extremely displeased. Who was he? An elder of the Holy Clan, an elder of the number-one clan in the Third Layer Heaven.

Yet now he was being looked down on by Ye Feng, made to feel as if he were some common destitute.

Sheng Ming shouted loudly, "Brother, no matter how high a price Ye Feng offered, my Holy Clan is willing to pay three times more!"

"Oh?" Hearing Sheng Ming’s words, Heavenly Illusion was somewhat surprised. Then his expression turned odd.

"You’d better forget it. Leaving aside that my Treasure Pavilion values its reputation, just speaking of three times the price—that’s not something you could afford."

Sheng Ming’s eyes burned with fury; he was clearly being looked down on yet again. "What a joke! Whatever price Ye Feng can afford, my Holy Clan can’t? Are you belittling me? Hurry up and say it—how much, for you to give up interfering?"

Ye Feng smiled faintly. "Senior Heavenly Illusion, don’t hesitate. If they can really take it out, I’m personally willing to give up your protection. It’s just that I’m afraid they can’t..."

"Bullshit!" Sheng Ming roared in anger. "Brother, just say it—how much did Ye Feng pay? My Holy Clan is willing to pay three times that!"

Heavenly Illusion said helplessly, "Little Brother Ye Feng’s price was one thousand Cosmic Ore Veins. If you’re talking three times, that’s three thousand."

"So that’s how it is, three thousand Cosmic Ore Veins..." Sheng Ming started to say, then his face suddenly changed drastically. "What! Three thousand!"

Almost in that instant, everyone present cried out in shock, utterly shaken. They all knew exactly what that meant!

Ye Feng had actually spent one thousand Cosmic Ore Veins to hire muscle. You had to know, a single Cosmic Ore Vein was worth anywhere from one billion to ten billion; even the lowest grade was valued at ten billion World Crystals. Ye Feng had actually spent a full one thousand Cosmic Ore Veins.

Everyone simply couldn’t believe it. Heavenly Illusion continued, "Let me remind you, the ones Little Brother Ye Feng gave were all top-grade Cosmic Ore Veins, each worth ten billion World Crystals."

"How is that possible!" Everyone shouted in shock, voices hoarse—a thousand Cosmic Ore Veins each worth ten billion World Crystals.

Even the three Super Forces of the Third Layer Heaven absolutely couldn’t take out that much. Sheng Ming instantly flew into a rage. "Are you messing with us? How could it possibly be a thousand?"

Mo Tian, however, just let out a cold laugh. "Turns out poverty really has crippled your imagination. Pathetic."

Poverty cripples imagination—back then, Mo Tian had been mocked with those exact words by Ye Feng and the others. Heavenly Illusion said, "Indeed, this little brother is right: poverty has limited your imagination. One thousand Cosmic Ore Veins might be a lot to you, but in the Fourth Layer Heaven, the basic unit of currency for transactions is the Cosmic Ore Vein. An ordinary third-rate force has assets amounting to tens of thousands of Cosmic Ore Veins.

Those one thousand Cosmic Ore Veins don’t really count for much in the Fourth Layer Heaven..."

Ye Feng looked calmly at Tian Ming. "What now, weren’t you just saying you’d pay three times the price to buy out Senior Heavenly Illusion and the others? If you can take it out, I’ll immediately give up having Senior Heavenly Illusion and his group protect me..."

At this moment, Sheng Ming’s expression was extremely ugly. He felt as if he’d been humiliated with money...
