Chapter 756: I Am a Very Reasonable Person

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Clang!

There was a huge commotion on the Heaven Fate Ship. Qing Long, who was a peak-stage Heaven Monarch, actually lost? This Huangfu Taotian’s combat strength was actually so heaven-defying?

Feng Luan and Qing Yu looked at each other with astonished expressions. How could a peak-stage Heaven Monarch actually concede to a middle-stage Heaven Monarch? This had totally toppled their perception. So what if this Young Master Huangfu had a Spirit Connecting Cardinal Treasure? How much did his combat strength actually increase? Could this be due to the five-star high-grade dao pattern?

“Hmph.”

High up in the sky, Huangfu Taotian let out a cold snort while that blade light which was a few meters long and had multiple radiances had vanished. He looked at Qing Long and spoke coldly, “If you had shouted out a moment later, you would have definitely been killed.”

Qing Long let out a bitter smile and bowed deeply with cupped hands. “Young Master’s talents are heaven-defying and can actually fuse a five-star high-grade dao pattern. This old one has been cultivating for a few hundred years for nothing. The no.1 genius of the Gods Bestow Tribe for these ten thousand years definitely belongs to Young Master. The Huangfu Clan will be able to rise to the next level because of Young Master Huangfu.”

“Old man, are you deaf?”

Huangfu Taotian glared and roared out, “I said that I am no longer a member of the Huangfu Clan. What Huangfu Clan? I, Huangfu Taotian, will be able to create another Huangfu Clan with myself and my blade. Ten years later, the 13 Clans will definitely turn into 14 Clans!”

“Uh?”

Qing Long’s expression got awkward, and the people on the Heaven Fate Ship were also forcing a smile. It seemed like Huangfu Taotian had a very deep conflict with the Huangfu Clan and actually wanted to create his own clan?

However, at this moment, no one dared to mock him. At the age of 28, he was already able to make a renowned peak-stage Heaven Monarch admit his defeat. This Huangfu Taotian might truly be able to reach the strength that was close to the level of the gods. By then, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to create his own great clan.

“Enough of your nonsense!”

Huangfu Taotian swept his cold eyes across and said, “The Green Bird Merchant Association will pay 500 million celestial stones, and the rest of you will pay one million celestial stones for each individual. If any of you don’t pay… die!”

Qing Long let out a bitter smile and cupped his hands facing Huangfu Taotian and said, “Young Master, these are all my merchant association’s customers. Since they are riding on our Heaven Fate Ship, we will have to guarantee their safety. How about this… we will pay one billion celestial stones and shall be considered for paying their toll?”

“No way!”

Huangfu Taotian sneered and said, “I have no need to hide from you. For the last month, I have intercepted 30 vessels of Heaven Fate Ship on the Gods Bestow Sea. Without any exception, everyone has to hand over their celestial stones! If your merchant association wants to help him pay, then do it by the headcount. There is a total of 6000 or 7000 individuals on this ship. I will just consider it as 5000. Your merchant association will have to pay five billion celestial stones!”

Tss…

Qing Long took a cold breath. Five billion celestial stones wasn’t a small sum to the Green Bird Merchant Association. It was already good enough if they could earn a few hundred million for this trip. After all, there were plenty of powerful bandit legions that they had to deter. If he had to pay five billion celestial stones, he wouldn’t even be able to hold onto his elder’s position.

If he didn’t pay up, the merchant association’s reputation would suffer a huge loss. If someone was to ride on their Heaven Fate Ship but they couldn’t guarantee the safety of their customers, would anyone want to ride on that ship?

Battle?

They might be able to kill Young Master Huangfu with the combination of everyone’s strength, but the Green Bird Merchant Association would then cease to exist. A young master with such heaven-defying talents would definitely be the lifeblood of the Huangfu Clan. Moreover, there might be powerful guards hiding in the nearby vicinity as well.

Qing Long was in a dilemma. He muttered for a moment and cupped his hands with gritted teeth. “Young Master, this old one is begging for a favor for these customers. Can we get the Heaven Monarchs will each have to pay 300,000 celestial stones and the Vajra Realm martial artists will have to pay 100,000 celestial stones? After all, everyone worked hard to make a living.”

“Damn!”

Countless customers on the ship started to curse as Qing Long was obviously not going to help them pay their celestial stones. However, if they didn’t pay up the celestial stones, many of them were going to be killed by this Young Master Huangfu.

Huangfu Taotian looked at all the martial artists on the deck and said, “Heaven Monarchs will pay 500,000 celestial stones, and Vajra Realm martial artists will pay 50,000. For every missing celestial stone, I will kill one person. Recently, I require a huge sum of celestial stones so I have no choice but to offend everyone.”

“Of course… if you aren’t convinced, you can make your move. You can come one after the other or you can all attack at once. I have 60 billion celestial stones, three pseudo-divine artifacts, and this saber is even a Spirit Connecting Cardinal Treasure. If you kill me… all the celestial stones and pseudo-divine artifacts are yours. I guarantee that the Huangfu Clan will not pursue you as I have already been expelled by the clan.”

Huangfu Taotian spoke arrogantly and with tyranny. He even stated that he had 60 billion celestial stones, three pseudo-divine artifacts, and that he had been expelled by the Huangfu Clan.

Despite the case, the thousands of people on the deck didn’t dare to make a move. Putting aside if they were able to kill Huangfu Taotian, even if they could… who would dare to? Would the Huangfu Clan truly forsake such a heaven-defying genius descendant?

“Everyone, I am sorry!”

Qing Long forced a smile and cupped his hands while saying, “This is the incompetence of our Green Bird Merchant Association and Qing Long’s incompetence. Later on, I will give each of you our merchant association’s VIP token. In the future, as long as you are to buy merchandises from our merchant association or ride our Heaven Fate Ship, everything will have a 20% discount…”

“Goddamn you!”

Many martial artists rolled their eyes while others cursed silently. What was the use of this damn token? Shouldn’t they just refund the celestial stones to everyone on the Heaven Fate Ship? If they were to do it like this, no one would have any complaints. Who bothered about their damn token?

Although everyone was complaining, many of them still handed over the celestial stones. People that could ride the Heaven Fate Ships to the Gods Bestow City were generally wealthy and respectable people. Otherwise, they would also have to die after reaching Gods Bestow City. The ‘50,000 celestial stones for Vajra Realm martial artists and 500,000 celestial stones for Heaven Monarchs’ rate was still an acceptable price.

Swish!

Of course, some couldn’t hand over the celestial stones or didn’t want to hand over the celestial stones. There were a few Heaven Monarchs who split up and escaped in all directions. They didn’t want to fight back, but it should be fine to escape, right? With several people escaping in several directions, Huangfu Taotian couldn’t kill all of them, right?

“Hmph!”

There was a dark green cape that appeared behind Huangfu Taotian. It was radiating constantly while he rushed to the distance as an afterimage.

“Such horrifying speed…”

Feng Luan and Qing Yu were both shocked as their complexion lost color. They were silently lamenting about how great it would be if they had a great background with a shocking number of pseudo-divine artifacts. Huangfu Taotian’s original speed was already praiseworthy and now with the assistance from the pseudo-divine artifact cape, his speed was comparable to a high-stage Heaven Monarch.

He took just a moment to catch up to the first person. His silver batter saber cleaved dozens of times and launched out countless thunder dragons which coiled together and engulfed that Heaven Monarch instantly. After the Heaven Monarch’s divine shield was shattered, his body was turned into dust.

Swish! Swish!

Huangfu Taotian didn’t even pause for a moment as he turned around and cleaved out countless blades, taking just a few breaths to kill the five escapees one after the other.

His murderous aura overflowed as he swept a glance at the deck and spoke indifferently, “I am a very reasonable person. If you do not have enough celestial stones, you can pay with your treasures. If you truly do not have anything, you can simply hand over your ancient divine essence ring, and I will spare the person’s life. Alright… everyone come out from the holds of the ship and release everyone from the spatial artifacts. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Under the threat of death, countless people rushed out from the holds of the ship while Feng Luan and Qing Yu were panicking. Jiang Yi’s eyes were still in a daze, and the two of them couldn’t possibly carry him out, right? He seemed to be comprehending something? If they were to touch him now, they might just disrupt his train of thoughts.

Feng Luan had some celestial stones, but it was a pity that they had bought plenty of items back at the Red Fort. All of them had to hand over at more than one million celestial stones, and they didn’t have enough with them. Qian Wanguan had celestial stones, but he and Jiang Xiaonu were inside the Thearch Palace now.
