"Yang, didn't you say his scroll could only summon one puppet?" Mu Xiang said with a trembling voice.
"How the hell would I know," Hong Yang's heart was chilled, "I thought sothing this defiant of the heavens summoning one puppet would be great already. I've never seen him summon several puppets at once!"
"What do we do?" Mu Xiang felt a bit scared. If it really is as Zhang nglong said, that this scroll can summon 2000 peak divine cultivators and half-step dao realm puppets, it's not just a matter of dealing with hundreds of people now; even if the entire Imperial Guard of the Hong Yun Empire were mobilized, they wouldn't be able to do anything to Zhang nglong!
The Imperial Guard of the Hong Yun Empire is large in number, but there are fewer than a hundred experts above the ninth grade divine cultivation, which is still sowhat weak compared to Zhang nglong's army of 2000 puppets.
Even with martial arts or cultivation techniques, leader Jun Xing says he might handle several, but ultimately there are too many of them, and he surely can't take on 2000 alone? Especially since Zhang nglong can use krypton gold to enhance the real strength of these puppets!
"Have you two finished whispering?" Zhang nglong sneered, "If you're done, then it's my turn!"
"Mr. Gu, um, there seems to be a misunderstanding, we just..."
"Misunderstanding, is it?" Zhang nglong laughed, "Explain later, I'm not really interested in hearing your excuses now!"
Crimson light flickered on Zhang nglong's fingertips as a massive amount of divine crystals flowed into the scroll within his ring.
A mont later, waves of red mist surged out from Zhang nglong's fingertips one after another, covering several hundred ters around them. Within the mist, armored figures erged one by one, each appearance sending shivers down the spines of Hong Yang and the others.
"2000 peak divine cultivator puppet martial artists!"
Summoning one dao realm puppet required a trillion divine crystals, but if it's just peak divine cultivators, the cost is really less than one-tenth of that. Even if Zhang nglong summoned all 2001 at once, it would only be 100 trillion divine crystals.
This ti, in the Skyless Realm, Zhang nglong made a hundred billion! The 100 trillion, though astronomical, Zhang nglong couldn't care less. Money is earned, not saved! Now, he also needed this batch of puppets to intimidate certain people, otherwise constantly facing such troubles would be unbearable.
Moreover, this expenditure may not be a total loss. Zhang nglong always believed one thing, that is, the wool cos from the sheep's back.
"There really are 2001 puppets..." The two of them harbored a glimr of hope earlier, thinking Zhang nglong was just frightening them, but now it seems he really had no need to!"
These 2001 puppets weren't rely at the peak divine cultivation level; the terrifying part was, they seed to have been body refinent experts in life! Peak divine cultivation body refinent experts wouldn't fall behind even when facing half-step dao realm!
Moreover, the bodies of body refinent experts are their most formidable weapons. Even if turned into puppets, losing the martial arts and cultivation technique bonuses, their bodies remain as strong as ever, retaining over 80% of their combat capabilities from life!
Even Jun Xing might defeat one at a ti, but when facing two or three of such puppets, he would likely be overwheld.
This massive group of burly puppets surrounded the Hong Yun Empire people tightly.
"How many more tricks does he have up his sleeve? Even this can't take him down?"
"I was worried sick for him just now, crying at the wrong grave."
"Turns out the Hong Yun Empire people are the weak ones!"
"Now the situation is completely reversed. To break this situation, the Hong Yun Empire people need more peak divine cultivators, or a dao realm expert must step in."
"Even if they step in now, it'll be tough. Gu Tianle hasn't violated any Hong Yun Empire regulations; even dao realm experts can only negotiate with him at most. If they choose force..."
"Don't forget, I just heard he can also summon dao realm puppets, although he can't beat a true dao realm expert, he has a chance to delay them. If he can escape to the residence of those superpower recruitnt officers, unless they want to offend those super sects, they'll have to give up."
"Gu Tianle, um... I think we can discuss this, no need for things to get so tense, right?" Hong Yang's tone suddenly softened.
Surrounded by 2000 burly figures, who wouldn't panic! Many of these Imperial Guards are only at the second or third grade divine cultivation realm, and the pressure from these 2000-odd people already has them soaking in sweat.
Today is surely not a day to have co out without checking the almanac!
"Discuss my ass," Zhang nglong said irritably, "Last ti, I just charged you double the teleportation fee; it seems I was too kind. And you, the lesson I left you wasn't deep enough, was it?"
"Mr. Gu... you see, we didn't cause you much loss," Jun Xing, the leader, stepped forward, "this matter is the fault of the Prince and Young Master Mu. How about having them personally apologize to you later?"
Jun Xing wasn't just assigned to help take revenge; more importantly, he had to ensure their safety. If sothing happened to them, he'd have no good outcos, so he had to protect them no matter what.
"You have so sense of apology," Zhang nglong nodded, "but how do we account for my loss?"
Zhang nglong pointed to the mass of puppets, "Do you know how much it costs to summon them?"
"That..." Jun Xing naturally didn't know, as this wasn't his treasure, "whatever the loss, our Hong Yun Empire will bear it, and on top of your loss, we'll compensate you an additional 30%?"
"Fine, I'll take a slight loss; the compensation isn't important, mainly because I'm broad-minded," Zhang nglong extended his hand, "the total is 260 trillion divine crystals, thank you all for your patronage!"
"260 trillion?" Jun Xing nearly had his eyes pop out upon hearing the figure.
"Yes, summoning one peak divine cultivator puppet is 1000 billion divine crystals; is that strange?"
"This..." Jun Xing finds it hard to gauge if this puppet's price is genuinely that high.
If the user were already a peak divine cultivator, the price indeed seems high, but for soone at Zhang nglong's third grade Spiritual Body level, directly summoning a peak divine cultivator makes it entirely different; the cost-effectiveness is exceptionally high!
"Why the hell did you summon so many of them for no reason?" At this mont, Jun Xing felt like crying without tears.
Honestly, they have over 200 people, but 180 of them are below the fourth grade divine cultivation; apart from him, there are only a few at most at the seventh grade divine cultivation!
To deal with their group, likely even one peak divine cultivator puppet could manage!
Even if adding him, Jun Xing, stretching it, he could only handle a dozen such puppets?
But now, Zhang nglong concocted 2000 of them; isn't that overestimating them a bit? There's almost a hint of fabrication, wouldn't you say?
But the mistake has been made now; solutions for salvage must be found, hence speaking of compensation. But can the Hong Yun Empire actually afford this compensation?
260 trillion divine crystals, any ninth-grade empire couldn't possibly front this much cash!
As per his understanding, the Hong Yun Empire, though incredibly wealthy, holds only several hundred billion divine crystals in the national treasury at most. Even with the Mu Family, scraping together 100 trillion would be tough!
"Actually, if the money isn't enough, that's not a problem," Zhang nglong said, "I'll detain these two for now. I think your Hong Yun Empire's Teleportation Array is decent, so why not collateralize it to ..."
