Chapter 1077: Chapter 1076: I, Zhao Ritian, Do Not Accept This! (4 more updates)
The people surrounding Zhu Qingshuang are all here for the Kill List reward. This ti, the Phantom Sound Pavilion has offered a generous reward; capturing Zhu Qingshuang promises a bounty of a hundred thousand Spirit Crystals and a Top-Grade Spirit Artifact.
Spiritual Artifacts are already rare, and Top-Grade Spirit Artifacts are even scarcer. Many Foundation Establishnt Peak cultivators might not acquire such a precious artifact in their entire lives. Such a great opportunity will naturally not be missed.
Not only so independent loose cultivators without a background, but many small and mid-sized cultivator families are also tempted. Gaining a Top-Grade Spirit Artifact can surely elevate their family status.
Among them, the Northwest’s four major families are the most active. Although they call themselves “major families,” compared to the Imperial Capital’s five major families, the gap is trendous; at best, they are dium-sized families.
The strongest mbers of these families are all at the Foundation Establishnt Peak cultivation level. Since this place is in the Northwest, they had the geographical advantage and were the first to discover Zhu Qingshuang’s tracks.
“Brother Liu, Zhu Qingshuang was first discovered by our Zhou Family, so please, Brother Liu, do not intervene!” The first to speak was Zhou Ming, the Family Head of the Zhou Family among the four families.
“Zhou, stop your nonsense. The Kill List task is completed by whoever finishes it first; so what if you discovered her first? Our Liu Family caught her, so the reward belongs to us!” Patriarch Liu Jianyi of the Liu Family erupted angrily.
“Brother Liu, have you no sha? If you hadn’t attacked my people right when you arrived, I would’ve captured her already. Your unscrupulous thods disgrace us in the Northwest!”
“Sha? Can sha be eaten as food? I’m telling you, this Top-Grade Spirit Artifact will be mine today!” Liu Jianyi retorted without backing down in the least.
At this mont, another group approached from afar, led by a woman in her thirties.
“Hahaha, long ti no see, Patriarch Liu, still as genuine as ever!”
This woman was dressed as a man with short hair, and from a distance, many assud she was a man. She was Yan Haobing, the head of one of the four major families in the Northwest—the Yan Family.
“Damn, what is this tomboy doing here to join in the fun?” Liu Jianyi’s face showed no joy upon seeing Yan Haobing, muttering under his breath.
Yan Haobing, also quick-tempered, shouted angrily upon hearing this, “Liu Jianyi, who are you calling a tomboy? Your skin itching for a beating?”
“What? You want to fight? Bring it on, I’m not afraid of you!” Liu Jianyi retorted fearlessly.
“Co on then, today’s the day you’ll see how mighty I am!” Yan Haobing imdiately rolled up her sleeves, looking ready to brawl with Liu Jianyi.
Zhou Ming coldly sneered from the side; instead of diating, he watched with glee. As long as the Liu Family and the Yan Family were mutually injured, Zhu Qingshuang would belong to his Zhou Family.
Yet clearly, his plan didn’t work out, as mbers from both families restrained Liu Jianyi and Yan Haobing and cald them down.
“Liu Jianyi, just you wait. Once Zhu Qingshuang is captured, I’ll settle the score with you,” Yan Haobing said coldly as her people pulled her back and she regained her composure.
Liu Jianyi scoffed, “Capture Zhu Qingshuang? With here, do you think you can?”
But at that mont, an untily voice rang out, “Yo, yo, aren’t the three major families mighty? You want to capture Zhu Qingshuang for the reward; do you think us loose cultivators don’t want to? Why only you three families have the privilege? What’s this logic?”
Zhou Ming frowned, damn, where did this pest co from?
Looking towards the voice, they saw Ye Haochuan, full of indignation and extre dissatisfaction.
Ye Haochuan had already quietly arrived among the crowd a few minutes ago. Although eager to rescue Zhu Qingshuang, there were simply too many people on the periphery. Even with a power comparable to Foundation Establishnt Peak, he could not be a match for a group of Foundation Establishnt Peaks.
He didn’t act impulsively, especially relieved to see Zhu Qingshuang was relatively safe, allowing his heart to settle slightly. He imdiately blended into the crowd, searching for an opportunity to strike.
Within a few minutes of understanding, he had already grasped a general sense of these people. Apart from the three major families, there were many loose cultivators around wanting to take a share of the rewards but were too intimidated by the three family heads’ authority to step forward and fight.
What Ye Haochuan needed to do now was to incite the loose cultivators’ desires, getting them to clash with the three major families, giving him a chance to rescue Zhu Qingshuang.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the loose cultivators began to stir.
“Yeah, you three families want the reward; we want it too!”
“That’s right, why should only you capture Zhu Qingshuang for the reward and not us?”
“Damn it, the three families want to monopolize Zhu Qingshuang, but Zhao Ritian won’t accept it!”
“Neither will Ye Liangchen!”
“Nor will Long Aotian!”
Suddenly, the crowd erupted, all pointing fingers at the three families.
“What are you shouting about? Trying to turn the world upside down? You bunch of nobodies with no background, daring to go against our three families, are you tired of living?” Liu Jianyi roared in anger.
His shout instantly silenced the crowd. Clearly, they still held so fear of the three families.
Damn, are these people really this useless?
Ye Haochuan sneered inwardly but still put on an “outraged” face, righteously proclaiming, “Are nobles born superior? Brothers, for the reward, let’s get them! I don’t believe that so many of us can’t beat their few dozen!”
“Yes, the young brother is right, let’s get them. Do they really think we’re easy to bully?” a brave soul in the crowd replied.
“Damn it, let’s do it! These families usually just bully us loose cultivators, taking all the benefits. This ti, we won’t let them monopolize the gain!”
“Right, we all have the sa two shoulders and one head, what should we fear? Want to ignore us, you’ll have to walk over my corpse first!”
“They’re just the three families of the Northwest, even the five families of the Imperial Capital don’t scare !”
The talk got more and more outrageous, leaving Ye Haochuan sweating a bit. Damn it, if it was really the five families of the Imperial Capital, a single fart from them could wipe you all out, okay?
Apparently, they’d been oppressed too harshly by the few families, and with just a few words from Ye Haochuan, they imdiately exploded in defiance, ready to battle the three major families to the death.
The faces of the three families darkened more and more, their glares toward Ye Haochuan almost spewing fire, wishing to dismber him into pieces. If it weren’t for him stirring the pot, how could these people have lost control?
Ye Haochuan had now clearly rallied the loose cultivators, establishing two distinct camps on the scene. And no matter how one looked at it, the loose cultivators had a definite advantage!
“Hmph~! You fools, you’re being used as guns by this kid. After being sold, you’re still counting money for him; truly idiotic to the extre!” Zhou Ming suddenly sneered coldly from the side.
Damn, didn’t think this guy’s brain wasn’t so dumb after all!
