Chapter 630: Chapter 630: The City Lord Concedes, Ransoming with a Spiritual Treasure (First Update)
The visitor was not the true body of the Jiaoyang Holy City’s City Lord, but rather an avatar of Divine Sense that had traversed billions of miles of space-ti.
Yet even as an avatar, it exuded an extraordinary temperant, giving Ye Feng a feeling of superiority even above that of a Heavenly Emperor.
“I would need to enter a state of tenfold amplification of Origin Qi Source to even stand a chance against his true form in a direct confrontation,”
Ye Feng assessed internally.
Quasi-Saints are terrifying.
Ye Feng felt that even if his cultivation level reached the peak of the Void Break Realm as a Heavenly Emperor and he deployed “Seven Steps to Heaven,” he might still not be able to overpower a Quasi-Saint.
The gap between them was really vast!
This was not only a gap in combat strength but also a disparity in Divine Skills.
A Quasi-Saint, endowed with the character “Saint,” could manipulate a horrifying amount of Power of Heaven and Earth, capable of unleashing profoundly arcane Divine Skills, incomparable to those within the Void Break Realm.
But, the one who had co was only an avatar.
Ye Feng felt that he could shatter it with a single punch, but to save face for the Jiaoyang Holy City’s City Lord, he still stood up, hands clasped behind his back, and said,
“So it’s the Jiaoyang Holy City’s City Lord gracing us with his presence. My apologies for not having gone out to receive you.”
The avatar of the Jiaoyang Holy City’s City Lord nodded and said, “Sect Master Ye, I have been observing you for quite so ti.”
This was not his first ti visiting the Southern River Basin.
The last ti he ca, he had noticed the formidable destiny of the Misty Sect and knew that this Sect was no ordinary entity.
Observing for quite so ti?
The comnt caused Ye Feng to start.
It seed the Misty Sect had long been within the sights of this Quasi-Saint.
Thinking about it made sense; he had connections with Yuzhu, and the Jiaoyang Holy City’s City Lord was a Quasi-Saint with vast Divine Skills—it was impossible for him not to be aware of these details.
“To have attracted the attention of a Quasi-Saint is an honor for this Sect Leader,”
Ye Feng fell silent for a mont before gesturing respectfully with his hands.
“Sect Master Ye, Xu i Ancestor and the others are part of our Jiaoyang Holy City’s elite combat forces. Although they have offended the Misty Sect, their cri does not warrant death. Please, release them,”
the Jiaoyang Holy City’s City Lord stated his purpose.
He was here to take soone away.
“Hmm, you make a fair point. These individuals indeed don’t deserve death. If you wish to redeem them, it’s not impossible, but only for a Supre Grade Spiritual Artifact can one person be released,”
Ye Feng stood firm on his view.
“Hiss!”
The crowd couldn’t help but gasp sharply.
Daring to haggle with a Quasi-Saint like this—such gall!
So were terrified of the Quasi-Saint’s anger and were already quaking in fear.
“That’s too costly,” the Jiaoyang Holy City’s City Lord shook his head. “Sect Master Ye, as you know, they are but at the seventh layer of Void Break; in terms of value, they cannot match a Supre Grade Spiritual Artifact.”
“Haggling with ?” Ye Feng mused inwardly, curling his lip before asking, “Then, what would you suggest as a fair deal, esteed Quasi-Saint?”
“One Supre Grade Spiritual Artifact, and I’ll take Xu i Ancestor and the others away,” the Jiaoyang Holy City’s City Lord revealed his bottom line.
“A few at the seventh layer of Void Break in exchange for one Supre Grade Spiritual Artifact… No, that’s not enough, I have another condition,” Ye Feng waved his hand, rejecting the Jiaoyang Holy City’s City Lord.
The corner of the Jiaoyang Holy City’s City Lord’s mouth twitched.
This Ye Feng really was a tough nut to crack!
Had it not been for him using the Heavenly Eye before coming here, determining that Ye Feng was a Body Cultivation Heavenly Emperor with a higher likelihood to beco a Quasi-Saint, and having received certain advice, he wouldn’t have agreed to compromise repeatedly.
The onlookers, upon hearing that Ye Feng had an additional condition, couldn’t help but inhale sharply again.
So trembled and ducked under the table.
They were frightened!
If the two could not co to an agreent and a battle broke out, the entire Misty Sect might be destroyed. By then, these poor onlookers feared they would be crushed by the aftereffects.
But, just as everyone was on tenterhooks, the Jiaoyang Holy City’s City Lord spoke, “What condition?”
“Let select an item from the treasury of Jiaoyang Holy City. Of course, you may also allow to choose a few,” Ye Feng said with a smile.
“You may, but only one item!”
In the end, the Jiaoyang Holy City’s City Lord chose to give in.
“Very well, then today, to the treasury of the Holy City I shall go to make my selection,” Ye Feng took advantage of the situation.
Upon hearing this, the Jiaoyang Holy City’s City Lord was almost driven to fury.
He had been prepared to move the top Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the treasury elsewhere so that what would be left behind were just commonplace items Ye Feng could choose from without causing a loss.
However, he had not anticipated that Ye Feng would be so shrewd as to want to select right now.
“City Lord, let’s head to the treasury of the Holy City,” Ye Feng said as his figure flashed, appearing by the side of the avatar of the Jiaoyang Holy City’s City Lord.
With every breath Ye Feng took, the void began to shatter, bringing an intangible oppression that almost caused the avatar of the City Lord of Jiaoyang Holy City to break apart, which greatly shook the latter’s heart.
“Release the people first!”
The City Lord of Jiaoyang Holy City said in a deep voice.
He was feeling very down today after suffering a setback.
Without seeing the people, there was no way he was going to deliver the goods.
Ye Feng took out the Star Tower and gave it a slight toss. With the sound of “swoosh”, all the Void Break Realm ancestors from Jiaoyang Holy City, including Xu i Ancestor, lay prostrate on the ground, gasping for breath.
Seeing that their foundations were not damaged, the three Heavenly Emperors and the City Lord of Jiaoyang Holy City breathed a sigh of relief.
“I’ll give you the Spiritual Treasure once we reach the Holy City.”
The City Lord of Jiaoyang Holy City took out a cross-boundary Teleportation Talisman and crushed it on the spot, opening a large spatial rift that revealed the bustling Jiaoyang Holy City on the other side.
“Let’s go!”
The City Lord of Jiaoyang Holy City, with a sweeping gesture, led Xu i Ancestor and the others through the spatial rift into Jiaoyang Holy City.
Ye Feng followed closely behind with an expression of composure.
“You take care of Xu i Ancestor and the others. Sect Master Ye, co with !”
The City Lord of Jiaoyang Holy City ordered and then walked ahead.
Ye Feng followed closely behind.
Soon, the two of them entered the left side chamber of the Holy Temple of Jiaoyang Holy City; this place was the treasure vault of the Holy City.
“There are a million kinds of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures here, as well as all kinds of precious Spiritual Artifacts and Spiritual Treasures. You may freely choose one Supre Grade Spiritual Treasure and one Heavenly Material or Earthly Treasure.”
The avatar of the City Lord of Jiaoyang Holy City followed Ye Feng, fearing he might take sothing arbitrarily.
“Good, thank you, senior!”
Ye Feng said with a slight smile, angering the City Lord of Jiaoyang Holy City to the point he felt like striking him.
The Holy City’s treasure vault was vast, its interior space akin to a Cave Heaven World, with countless orbs of light floating in mid-air, resembling a starry sky.
Each orb of light was a Heavenly Material or Earthly Treasure.
Ye Feng, sensing sothing, grabbed one of the orbs and looked at the piece of broken bronze inside, the corners of his mouth slightly lifting.
“An ancient piece of bronze, Upper Grade Spirit Treasure Level, are you sure you want this one?” The City Lord of Jiaoyang Holy City asked with so surprise.
“Yes, I’ll take this one.”
“Alright!”
The City Lord of Jiaoyang Holy City felt relieved inside.
Although this piece of ancient bronze had a high grade, it could be used to forge a Supre Grade Spiritual Treasure, its value was not high, and it was less valuable than a fully-ford Upper Grade Spiritual Treasure.
In the eyes of the City Lord of Jiaoyang Holy City, Ye Feng was intentionally giving him face, which sowhat improved his mood.
“Now, choose another Supre Grade Spiritual Treasure.”
The tone of the City Lord of Jiaoyang Holy City had softened a lot as he beckoned with his hand, bringing a nearby orb of light closer.
Ye Feng glanced at it and discovered it was a long spear, entirely purple-gold in color, with the words “Heaven-reaching Purple-gold Spear” engraved on the shaft in seal script.
Clang!
As Ye Feng grasped the Heaven-reaching Purple-gold Spear, it trembled as if sensing the frightening physical power emanating from Ye Feng’s body. It was initially apprehensive but then beca excited.
“It seems to like you,” said the City Lord of Jiaoyang Holy City.
The Heaven-reaching Purple-gold Spear was a Supre Grade Spiritual Artifact with a proud Artifact Spirit. It wasn’t impressed by ordinary Heavenly Emperor-level powerhouses and was unwilling to be easily refined by soone.
Among all the Supre Grade Spiritual Treasures, it was a troublemaker.
“Good, I’ll take this one!”
Ye Feng said with a slight smile, gripping the Heaven-reaching Purple-gold Spear tightly. The spear trembled with excitent, as if it were about to leap out of his grasp and dance wildly in mid-air.
“Thank you, senior… By the way, Misty Sect is currently holding a Three-Star promotion ceremony. Would you be interested in having a drink?”
“Not interested!”
The City Lord of Jiaoyang Holy City didn’t want to see Ye Feng anymore and couldn’t wait for him to leave.
“If that’s the case, farewell!”
Ye Feng packed up the piece of ancient bronze, clutched the Heaven-reaching Purple-gold Spear, and left the treasure vault of the Holy Temple, passing through the gradually healing spatial rift to return to Misty Sect.
“Finally got rid of that plague!”
The City Lord of Jiaoyang Holy City quickly sent out a palm strike through the air, causing the spatial rift to completely seal.
Afterward, this avatar briskly walked toward the center of the Holy Temple.
There, two figures were seated.
One male, one female.
