Chapter 718: Ten Million Contract
Jin Bakong and Xie Bao were fighting each other.
Increasingly strong spiritual fluctuations emanated from the two people. The two spiritual consciousnesses collided with each other, and a "hissing" explosion sounded in the void.
In the end, Xie Ying couldn't hold on and begged for mercy.
"Third uncle! Elder Jin! Can you spare me a moment to talk?"
Xie Ying, a mid-level Jindan cultivator, couldn't hold on, let alone the foundation-building followers in the caravan. Only Tietouren and Xiao Mian could hold on.
As soon as Xie Ying opened his mouth, he found Xie Bao and Jin Bakong on the steps and stopped at the same time.
"Xie Bao! You came just in time! Let's take a good look: who did your 'Qingliu Sword' save!"
"No matter who it is, as long as it is saved from your Elder Jin, I am happy!"
As Xie Bao said this, he swept his spiritual consciousness, but his face suddenly became stunned.
It turned out that Xie Bao came in a hurry. As soon as he arrived at the scene, he saw Jin Bakong intending to kill someone. The person he killed seemed to be the capable guard of his nephew Xie Ying.
Xie Bao also had a bad temper. He was not used to the behavior of the Jin family and Jin Bakong. He did not have time to say anything more, so he activated the Qingliu Sword and saved the Iron-headed Man.
Now, with a sweep of his spiritual sense, Xie Bao finally discovered the face of the Iron-headed Man.
Turning around, before Xie Bao spoke, the Iron-headed Man had already bowed.
"Chi Lianyun, thank you for saving my life, my uncle!"
"Why is it you, my boy? Aren't you already... Wait! How come you are by Ying'er's side? But what conspiracy is your Chi Lian family up to?"
During his words, Xie Bao's expression changed from astonishment to suspicion.
The Iron-headed Man - Chi Lianyun smiled bitterly and said nothing, and Xie Ying spoke at the right time.
"This is a long story. Uncle San, Elder Jin, can you please have a word with me?"
"Haha! This elder wants to see how the disciple of the Chi Lian family, who was once reported to have died of his injuries after killing my Jin family disciple, hid in the Xie family!"
"......, good!"
Jin Bakong laughed loudly, and Xie Bao looked unfriendly.
After that, the caravan found a secluded place to rest for a while.
At the same time, Xie Ying, the iron-headed man Chi Lianyun and the two Yuanying ancestors were discussing something in a flying chariot that Xie Ying carried with him.
Xiao Mian, on the other hand, had nothing to do.
Chi Lianyun?
Could that iron-headed man be Chi Lianxia's brother?
According to the truth that Fatty Xie said after drinking last time, he and Chi Lianxia were in love with each other, but because the Xie family ancestor refused to let Chi Lianxia, a human-monster hybrid, marry into the Xie family, their marriage was repeatedly shelved, and therefore, the tension between the Xie family and the Chi Lian family was caused.
The quasi-Nascent Soul cultivator who didn't want to guard Xie Ying turned out to be Chi Lianyun!
From Elder Jin's words, Xiao Mian learned that Chi Lianyun was not a good person either, and had killed a direct descendant of the Jin family.
After that, perhaps because he was afraid of the Jin family's investigation, Chi Lianyun wore an iron mask and guarded Xie Ying, protecting Xie Ying while protecting himself, right?
The Xie family and the Chi Lian family had a dirty deal because of Xie Ying and Chi Lianxia, the Chi Lian family and the Jin family had a bad relationship because of Chi Lianyun, and the Xie family and the Jin family were at peace on the surface, but from the fact that Jin Wei was able to plan to kill Xie Ying, the relationship between the two families can be seen.
The Xie family, the Jin family, and the Chi Lian family are only three of the thirteen forces of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, but they are already so intertwined and fighting each other.
This shows how chaotic the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce is.
I don't know what the four people in the flying chariot discussed...
But no matter what, with Xie Bao restraining Jin Bakong, the matter must be resolved, and at most they will go to the headquarters of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce to discuss it.
Sure enough, Xie Bao and Jin Bakong left at the same time afterwards.
Although Xiao Mian didn't know where they were hiding, he knew that they must not have gone far. Protecting the caravan was secondary. The key was to check and balance each other.
Seeing Xie Ying waving at him at the door of the flying chariot, Xiao Mian smiled bitterly and entered it.
The flying chariot is a device similar to the soft jade scent tent that Zhu Yanji had at the beginning.
Although this device can also fly, its speed is far different from that of the flying boat. Their greatest function is to provide a comfortable resting place for the monks.
For example, this flying chariot named "Yunhan" is Xie Ying's treasure.
The Polang Flying Boat and the Yunhan Flying Carriage were the two collections that Xie Ying was proud of. Previously, the Polang Flying Boat was damaged, so Xie Ying used the Yunhan Flying Carriage.
Entering the flying car, Xiao Mian saw that Chi Lianyun had been dressed up again.
The long hair with a little fire in the black was casually scattered, and against the background, Chi Lianyun's face looked even paler, with regular features and heroic spirit.
"Let me introduce you two again!"
As the host, Xie Ying sat in the middle and introduced Xiao Mian and Chi Lianyun again.
"So you are the Nanyue Xiao Mian?"
"Why do you say that, Brother Yun?"
"I think you should have guessed it. Yes, I am Xia'er's elder brother. You and Xia'er are familiar with each other. From now on, we are family members! The reason why I have heard of your name for a long time is because Xia'er asked me to help her find the "Three Pure Ones Bible"!"
"So that's it..."
It turned out that Chi Lianxia asked Chi Lianyun to collect the "Three Pure Ones Bible" that day.
While speaking, Chi Lianyun flipped his right hand, and three more ancient scrolls appeared.
It is obvious that it must be the "Three Pure Ones Bible" collected by Chi Lianyun.
Although Xiao Mian has already collected the "Sanqing Bible" and upgraded his cultivation to the high level of Jindan, looking at the three ancient scrolls in Chi Lianyun's hand, Xiao Mian still took it seriously. After all, this is the other party's hard work.
Just because Xiao Mian has collected the "Three Purities Bible" on his own cannot negate Chi Lianyun's hard work in collecting these three volumes.
What's more, being able to carry the "Sanqing Shen", which others think is worthless, shows that Chi Lianyun is also a person with a lot of money and a promise.
"Kindness without saying thanks!"
"What did Brother Xiao say? If you hadn't secretly rescued him before, Brother Yu would have been plotted to death by Jin Bakong. It's my turn to say thank you for your kindness!"
"Brother actually saved Brother Yun? What's going on?"
Chi Lianyun had spiritual consciousness in his body, not to mention it was a life and death situation at that time, so he naturally knew what Xiao Mian had done under his feet and what miraculous effects it had.
Xie Ying's cultivation was mediocre, but he didn't see through it.
After some explanation, Xie Ying suddenly realized.
"Hmph! Jin Bakong is too arrogant! Back then, Brother Yun had a fair duel with his disciple of the Jin family, and even signed a life-and-death contract. In the end, the man died of serious injuries. Brother Yun did not kill him with his own hands, but the Jin family insisted on it. Don’t let go, it’s really…”
"That man is dead after all, but Yun is still lingering on. It is inevitable that the Jin family will have some resentment." In response to Xie Ying's indignation, Chi Lianyun explained it on his behalf and said, "This time my identity is exposed, I’m afraid it will be very disadvantageous for the Xie family!”
"Why are you talking about this? Brother Yun has saved my younger brother from fire and water several times in the past few years. If I can't protect my brother this time, what is the use of my fat body?"
"But you and I..., alas!"
"..."
Looking at Xie Ying and Chi Lianyun who were sighing, Xiao Mian shook his head.
One was Chi Lianxia's eldest brother, and the other was Chi Lianxia's lover. However, because the ancestor of the Xie family did not agree with their marriage, the two families broke up head-on.
Thinking again about the unrivaled Chi Lianxia, Xiao Mian's heart moved.
well!
Even though I wanted to help, I couldn't help it.
I just hope that all lovers in the world will eventually get married...
"Those two seniors, do you know what you are escorting?"
The atmosphere was too solemn, so Xiao Mian had to change the topic.
"..., I don't know! This is the rule of our Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce. Even if the person is the standing elder of the Yuanying Ancestor Realm, he has no right to overstep his authority. But they should have heard some rumors..." After hesitating for a moment, Xie Ying smiled bitterly and explained: "The person who threw the hot potato of the Heart of Ghosts and Gods to me, the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, was indeed the deputy master of the Demon Temple. At that time, I felt that something was wrong, just because - the reward was too high!"
"How high?"
"Zhongling——tens of millions!"
"What!?"
Even a master like Xiao Mian, who is accustomed to seeing spirit stones, couldn't help but twitch his face and exclaimed when he heard the words "Ten million spirits."
Tens of thousands of spirits, what is this concept?
Ordinary mid-level magic weapons are only worth about one million souls.
With tens of millions of souls, you can already buy a high-level magic weapon!
Once it reaches the level of tens of millions of spirits, it is the Nascent Soul level.
"At first, when I heard about this unusual reward, I deliberately refused that person, but that person brought the matter to the headquarters of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce. In this world, there are always some people who have their heads knocked unconscious by spiritual stones—— The group of elders actually agreed to this deal! Huh! They didn’t even think about it: it would be great to get tens of millions of spirit stones, but if something happens to that thing along the way, our Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce will pay triple the compensation!”
"This...three times...30 million souls!?"
"This is the terms of the agreement signed at the beginning!"
"That's it! No wonder, brother, you still have to argue with reason even under the pressure of the Four Saints, but it turns out that the matter involves a huge sum of 30 million Zhongling!"
"Who says it's not the case? We, the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, can still afford thirty million souls, but this is a big deal, and it involves the reputation and reputation of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce."
Xie Ying didn't seem to want to say more, so Xiao Mian didn't ask any more questions.
But privately, Xiao Mian trembled slightly in his heart.
wrong!
Even managers like Xie Ying could see that the original contract was not suitable for signing. Why did the elders of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce finally agree to sign that huge contract?
Is it just for the millions of souls?
I'm afraid not necessarily...
They can even afford the compensation of 30 million souls. Will the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce take over this inexplicable hot potato just for 10 million souls?
Let me ask you, if it were not a hot potato, who would give you tens of millions of blessings for no reason?
"Speaking of this matter, I would like to thank my brother for mediating! Otherwise, if the Four Saints suddenly attack, I will be left with nothing to eat this time!"
"Brother, do you think too highly of my little brother? Even if you smash him into pieces and sell them, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy tens of millions of souls. How could the four great saints give up their possessions for me, a little-known boy? They must have scruples!"
"That's natural!" Chi Lianyun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said with some pride: "The senior ghost saints of the Netherworld Ghost Realm are certainly extraordinary talents respected by humans and ghosts, but we, the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, also have a dignified One of the Ten Heavenly Lords of Zhongzhou is in charge!”
One of the Ten Heavenly Lords in Zhongzhou - the Good Fortune Boy Lord!
