The Bone Emperor really wanted to call the police, but the call might just end up with Su Mu's voice on the other end.
The Boundless Seed Leaf barely counts as half a treasure, this river crossing fee is way too expensive!
He fumbled and hesitated for a long time before reluctantly taking out a small purple-black bottle. It looked a bit like a vase, but the opening was small, and the body was about the size of two palms.
Looking inside through the bottle mouth, it was pitch black, like an abyss.
Seeing the Bone Emperor holding the vase awkwardly, Su Mu approached and took it away in one swift motion.
"Hand it over!"
After getting hold of it, Su Mu carefully examined it and found it to be a pretty good magical treasure, probably accounting for half of the fee.
After putting away the vase, Su Mu showed a smile and said, "Alright, your crossing fee is all paid up."
"Now it's your turn, the three of you."
With that, Su Mu looked at the Three Emperors behind the Bone Emperor, wearing a harmless smile.
The Bone Emperor was on the verge of tears; this Geng Jing Bottle was one of his Lifebound Treasures.
The other Three Emperors, seeing the Bone Emperor even take out his Lifebound Treasure, the Geng Jing Bottle, felt immense pressure. With the Bone Emperor setting such a high standard, they too had to bring out comparable treasures at least.
....
Emperor Huan took out a large, reddish, meat-like object from his sleeve, placing it in his hand. It was plump and bouncy, resembling the Flesh Oracle.
Upon seeing this item, Su Mu's eyes lit up because he sensed a vast force of vital blood from this meat-like object similar to the Flesh Oracle. It was clearly a great supplement!
When Emperor Huan had taken out the entire "Wound Blood Embryo," he was stunned.
"Huh?"
Did Emperor Huan go this far?
This was his treasured possession.
This "Wound Blood Embryo" was something he had snatched from the Ancient Secret Realm through many perils, and because of it, several Immortal Kings had chased him for a long time. If not for the Venerable Lord intervening to save him, he would have been killed by those Immortal Kings long ago.
...
This Wound Blood Embryo originally weighed ten pounds. After thousands of years, he hadn't even used up two pounds of it.
Back when the three of them begged for a long time, Emperor Huan wouldn't spare even a tiny bit, and now he has taken it all out; it didn't seem like him at all, to be so lavish?
Actually, Emperor Huan really didn't want to bring out the Wound Blood Embryo.
Because he was a very cautious individual, he didn't carry valuable treasures when going out, only keeping a Lifebound Treasure and a life-saving treasure on him.
Afraid that something might happen, benefiting others for nothing.
Because this Wound Blood Embryo was for his cultivation, he carried it with him.
He couldn't possibly take out his Lifebound Treasure, unlike the Bone Emperor, who had several Lifebound Treasures on him.
So, he could only offer the Wound Blood Embryo.
Su Mu snatched the Flesh Oracle over and weighed it in his hand, finding it quite substantial.
"Alright, this counts as one."
Su Mu didn't want to make things too difficult for him, seeing him on the verge of tears.
Emperor Huan genuinely felt like crying. He never imagined there'd be a day he'd be so humble, getting extorted on the River of Time.
Never mind him; even the Venerable Lord would likely have to obediently hand over something here.
There was no other choice. Who in their right mind would come to the River of Time to commit robbery...?
Hardly anyone would believe it if you told them.
...
"Alright, now it's just you two left."
Su Mu's gaze fell on the Southern Emperor and the Dark Emperor.
The Southern Emperor took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and took out three treasures at once: a piece of blue jade, a red rope, and a piece of hide resembling tiger skin, covered in spots.
Su Mu took a quick look and found that they were all treasures, so he collected them all at once, planning to study them later.
Finally, Su Mu smiled at the last one, the Dark Emperor, and said, "Now it's just you."
"Oh, no, wait, there's your old man too."
He pointed down at the coffin underfoot.
The Dark Emperor closed his eyes, his chest heaving, his eyelids twitching slightly.
Finally, having perhaps made up his mind, he suddenly opened his eyes, took off the Space Ring from his hand, and handed it to Su Mu, saying, "Everything is in here."
He only kept his two Lifebound Treasures, giving away everything else.
Su Mu took the Space Ring, glanced inside, and found many treasures, including spirit medicine, elixir pills, spirit stones, and other strange, unidentified treasures.
Unlike the other Three Emperors, the Dark Emperor was of independent cultivator origin, without many treasures. Most had been used for cultivation or damaged in battles.
"Generous boss!"
Su Mu put away this Space Ring.
"Alright, the crossing fee is paid."
With that, Su Mu made way for the Four Emperors, waved his hand, and lifted the restriction on the waters.
When they saw this man easily influencing the flow of the River of Time with a mere wave of his hand, they couldn't help but swallow nervously, their hearts in their throats.
"Be careful, find a good place to bury your dad."
"Make sure to secure it well during the burial, don't let it float around the river, or if I see it, I'll have to step in and take care of it."
Su Mu advised the Dark Emperor.
Although he allowed the water burial in his river, it needed to be properly interred and secured; he didn't want to see a big black coffin floating back and forth in front of him.
"Of course, of course."
The Dark Emperor nodded like a pecking chick, having witnessed Su Mu's terrifying power, he'd lost all thought of resistance.
Luckily, they had obediently paid the crossing fee from the start, instead of facing off in resistance.
Had they fought... they would likely end up as four floating corpses, becoming nourishment for the River of Time.
.....
After Su Mu cleared the way, the Four Emperors still didn't dare to leave, staring at Su Mu.
They were truly scared.
Seeing this, Su Mu waved his hand, "Let me send you on your way."
With that, Su Mu performed the Water Control Divine Technique, accelerating the water under the coffin.
In one swift launch, the coffin shot downstream, scaring the Four Emperors into huddling tightly together, afraid of accidentally falling overboard.
To prevent them from water-burying the coffin too close and becoming a nuisance, Su Mu simply sent them far downstream until they disappeared from his sight.
After doing all this, the system's voice reverberated.
[Congratulations host, you have maintained order on the river surface, triggering an extra reward, Favor Points +9000]
Upon hearing that nine thousand Favor Points had been credited, Su Mu's eyes widened with joy.
Wow, earning like this is really fast!
Hopefully, more people will cross the river or create trouble like this!
...
"Did we overshoot?!"
"Where did he send us then?"
When the Four Emperors regained their senses, they found themselves in a completely unfamiliar place.
