<h4>Chapter 2715 800,000 Supreme Celestial Stones</h4>
Upon receiving the confirmation from the Lyu n’s two heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials, Lyu Quan, the n Leader of the Lyu n, bowed at Duan Ling Tian. A hint of delight and excitement could be seen on his face as he said, “The Lyu n thanks the benefactor for his kindness!” He acted as though Duan Ling Tian was a benefactor who had given him a new lease on life instead of an enemy who had killed his son.“Thank you, benefactor!” The people from the Lyu n expressed their gratitude to Duan Ling Tian as well. Simr to Lyu Quan, they could not conceal their delight and excitement as well.The two heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials from the Qi n had died! This matter was greatly significant. This meant the Qi n was no longer an obstruction to them. With their two strongest powerhouses gone, the Qi n was no match at all for the Lyu n.
Duan Ling Tian nced at Lyu Quan indifferently as he brought up the old matter again. “However, it’s a fact that I’ve killed your son...”
“Benefactor, you’ve given us the entire Qi Lyu City. Not to mention one son, but if you desire, I would have a few more sons so you could kill them if you wish!” Lyu Quan said, somewhat losing himself in his excitement. He had said these words not because he feared Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er, he was truly grateful. If he knew the Lyu n could rule Qi Lyu City without the Qi n with just the death of his son, he would have killed his son with his own hands. After all, it was not difficult to see which one was more beneficial to him and the n. He could have more sons if he lost one, but to annihte the Qi n and to be the only n to rule Qi Lyu City was a hard-toe-by chance.
Upon hearing Lyu Quan’s words, Duan Ling Tian was rendered momentarily speechless. In the end, he no longer harped on the topic. It seemed unnecessary. After all, in Lyu Quan’s eyes, the interest of the n clearly surpassed everything. In the end, he narrowed his eyes and said, “Since I helped your n to get rid of the two heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials from the Qi n, making your n the sole n to rule over Qi Lyu City, shouldn’t your n repay me?”
“Of course, of course...” Lyu Quan did not hesitate to agree as he nced at his father.
Then, Lyu Quan and his father simultaneously turned to look at the old ancestor of the Lyu n meaningfully.
The old ancestor of the Lyu n looked at Duan Ling Tian and said earnestly, “Benefactor, what do you want? As long as it’s within the Lyu n’s capability, we’ll give you anything you want!”
Duan Ling Tian did not beat around the bush and said, “First, I want the Lyu n to find me the biggest and most detailed map.” Although he might already have such a map in one of the Spatial Rings of the members of the Qi n whom he had killed, he could not be bothered to search for it.
“This is a trivial matter.” The old ancestor sighed in relief upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s request. He had expected Duan Ling Tian to request for something exceptionally difficult to fulfill. “Benefactor, what other things do you need apart from that?”
Duan Ling Tian nodded as he looked at the people from the Lyu n. He narrowed his eyes as he said, “Mypanion and I will be leaving in three days. Before I leave, you must hand over 1,000,000 supreme Celestial Stones.”
1,000,000 supreme Celestial Stones!
As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, the expressions of the members of the Lyu n changed drastically one after another.
“Benefactor...” the old ancestor said bitterly, “Our Lyu family can onlye up with 300,000 to 400,000 supreme Celestial Stones. If you give us a little more time, perhaps, we cane up with 500,000 to 600,000 supreme Celestial Stones. Three days are too short of a notice.”
“Since the two heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials from the Qi n have died, I’m sure you’ll annihte the Qi n and seize their assets. After doing that, don’t tell me the Lyu n still wouldn’t be able to fork out 1,000,000 supreme Celestial Stones?” Duan Ling Tian replied indifferently.
“Benefactor, there’s something you’re unaware of,” the old ancestor of the Lyu n took a deep breath to muster up his courage and said, “For ns like the Lyu and Qi ns, at least half of the ns’ avable wealth is all in the hands of the n’s respective heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials. I... I assume the Spatial Rings of the two heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials from the Qi n are in your possession, right? If so, this means at least half of the Qi n’s wealth is in your hands, benefactor.”
Upon hearing the words of the old ancestor from the Lyu n, Duan Ling Tian waved his hand rather impatiently and said, “800,000 supreme Celestial Stones! After three days, I expect to be given 800,000 supreme Celestial Stones. Otherwise, the heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials in the Lyu n can follow in the footsteps of the heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials of the Qi n.”
Duan Ling Tian did not wait for the Lyu n’s reply when he finished speaking. The impatient expression on his face disappeared as he turned to Huan’er and said with a smile, “Huan’er, let’s go!”
“Okay,” Huan’er replied in a cute manner before she followed Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er’s figures gradually disappeared before the eyes of the members of the Lyu n. No one dared to utter a word as they watched the duo leave. After all, they knew the purple-d young man had already made a big concession by asking for 800,000 supreme Celestial Stones instead of 1,000,000 supreme Celestial Stones.
When the duo’s figures finally disappeared, the former n Leader of the Lyu n muttered, “They... Who the hell are they?!”
“Who knows,” Lyu said in reply to his father’s question as he shook his head, “They’re probably outsiders. It’s probable that it’s their first time in Qi Lyu City.”
The old ancestor from the Lyu n scoffed and said, “From this moment on, it’s no longer Qi Lyu City, it’s Lyu City!”
Lyu City!
Upon hearing these words, the eyes of the members of the Lyu n began to brighten.
Despite his excitement, Lyu Quan asked worriedly, “Old ancestor, would we be able toe up with 800,000 supreme Celestial Stones in three days?” His words were akin to a cold bucket of water being poured on the members of the Lyu n.
“It doesn’t matter if we cane up with it or not, we muste up with it! Didn’t you see his attitude earlier?” the old ancestor from the Lyu n said in a lowered voice. Then, he turned to look at the former n Leader of the Lyu n and ordered, “Lyu Jiu, after we annihte the Qi n, make a trip to the neighboring cities and borrow as many supreme Celestial Stones as you can from the ns and sects that have a good rtionship with our n.”
“Yes, old ancestor.” The former n Leader of the Lyu n respectfully epted the task that was given to him. Although he was also a heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial, the old ancestor’s strength was far superior to his strength. Moreover, the old ancestor’s seniority was much higher than his. For this reason, he did not dare to act arrogantly before the old ancestor.
Subsequently, the members of the Lyu n pounced on the Qi n like starving wolves.
The Qi n that had lost its two heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials was like a sheep, unable to stand the attack from the Lyu n. It did not take long for the Lyu n to kill all the Great Overarching Golden Celestials in the Qi n. Naturally, the Lyu n did not suffer a single casualty. In just a day, the Qi n, who used to be the Lyu n’s rival, was annihted.
...
When news of this spread out, it shook Qi Lyu City to its core.
The next day, the Lyu n did not waste any time and announced that Qi Lyu City would be called Lyu City.
Naturally, no one dared to object to it.
...
In a private room of a restaurant.
Duan Ling Tian listened to the conversations that drifted in from the main hall of the restaurant. He muttered to himself, “They sure acted quickly... Let’s hope they’re able to produce the 800,000 supreme Celestial Stones on time.”
Meanwhile, Huan’er, who had taken off her veil, sat across Duan Ling Tian, devouring the dishes on the table without caring about her image. Even then, she still looked beautiful and wless from all angles.
Even Duan Ling Tian, whose heart was usually as still as ake, could not help but nce at Huan’er every once in a while.
After about half an hour, Huan’er wiped the oil stains from her mouth, looking rather satisfied. She said with a smile, “Big Brother Ling Tian, I’ve eaten my fill. The food in the outside world is really delicious! In the future, you’ll have to bring me to eat delicious food every day, okay?”
Duan Ling Tian nodded with a faint smile on his face. “No problem, as long as Huan’er is happy.” He did not seem bothered by the change in the way Huan’er addressed him.
After leaving the Qi n yesterday, both of them had roamed the streets of Qi Lyu City, and he had bought several things for her. While they were strolling around, they encountered a few couples who addressed each other intimately. After listening to the way the couples addressed each other, Huan’er unexpectedly changed the way she addressed Duan Ling Tian. She no longer called him Duan Ling Tian. Instead, she began to call him Big Brother Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian, naturally, did not put much thought into this. After all, he knew Huan’er was innocent and was not wise to the ways of the world. She was like a nk sheet of paper.
After a brief moment, Duan Ling Tian asked with a smile, “Now that we’ve eaten, shall we go for a stroll again?”
“Yes! There are many things I like that I didn’t get to buy yesterday!” Huan’er nodded like a chick pecking on grains on the ground.
The duo leisurely strolled around Qi Lyu City, or Lyu City as it was now called, for the remaining two days.
...
Two dayster, the duo appeared in the Lyu n’s estate.
“Greetings, benefactor!”
“Greetings, benefactor!”
All the high-ranking members of the Lyu n stood at the entrance and respectfully greeted the duo in unison upon the duo’s arrival.
Duan Ling Tian looked at the old ancestor of the Lyu n and bluntly asked, “Did you prepare the things I asked for?” He did not bother asking the others, it was easy to tell the old ancestor of the Lyu n had the highest authority in the n.
“Yes, benefactor,” the old ancestor of the Lyu n replied respectfully as a Spatial Ring appeared in his hand.
