Chapter 397: Getting Rich Suddenly

“Dad…save…save me…save me…I don’t want to die…Dad…save me…save me!!”

Xiao Kuangyun hugged Xiao Juetian's thigh tightly, his whole body trembling, his limbs had already gone limp in extreme fear and he couldn't stand up. As a young master of the Xiao clan who usually enjoyed everything, he was undoubtedly extremely afraid of death, but before, nothing had ever made him feel the threat of death, only the fear of others.

Xiao Juetian looked at his son who was frightened to the point of incontinence, his face turned purple with anger, and he wished he could kick him away. But he was his biological son after all, and the one he loved the most. No matter what, he couldn't just watch him die in Yun Che's hands. He took a deep breath, bowed to Yun Che and said, "Brother Yun, I know the grudge between you and my son very well. Although my son did something shameful back then, but... but fortunately, Brother Yun and your family are safe and sound. My son's fault is not a crime punishable by death. I hope Brother Yun will be magnanimous and give my son a break. I will definitely be grateful and will repay you generously."

“The crime is not punishable by death?” Yun Che sneered, “Then do you know why the Burning Heaven Sect was wiped out? In comparison, their crime is much less serious than your son’s! But the result… from their Grand Master Fen Yijue and Master Fen Duanhun, to all the disciples with the surname Fen, more than 70,000 people in the entire sect, all died without a burial place!”

Yun Che's words made all the people in the Xiao Sect present feel awed, some of them trembled uncontrollably, and even Xiao Juetian's face turned pale... He knew very well that when Yun Che got married a few months ago, Yun Che's strength had greatly increased compared to when he wiped out the Burning Heaven Sect. With his terrifying growth rate, his current strength must be even more unfathomable... It was completely enough to wipe out the entire Xiao Sect. After all, the strength of the Xiao Sect was about the same as that of the Burning Heaven Sect.

If he really got angry and attacked the entire Xiao Sect...

Xiao Juetian had thought about this worst outcome many times. Now that he was finally facing Yun Che who came to collect the debt, he didn’t dare to think about it anymore. He lowered his body to the lowest position and begged, “Little Brother Yun, my son’s fault is indeed unforgivable. I am ashamed of my poor parenting. However, with your current status and position, even if my son is ten times stronger, he can no longer pose the slightest threat to you, let alone have the guts to offend you again. If you attack my son, I’m afraid… I’m afraid it will also tarnish your status… If you can show mercy today and let my son go, I, the Xiao clan, will definitely be grateful and respect you as my elder brother from now on. As long as you want my son’s orders, I, the Xiao clan, will do my best and will not hesitate to die!”

Although Xiao Juetian was pleading for Xiao Kuangyun verbally, everyone knew that he was pleading for the entire Xiao Sect. With the precedent of Burning Heaven Sect, Yun Che would definitely destroy the Xiao Sect in a rage... After all, what Xiao Kuangyun did at the time was more offensive to Yun Che than Burning Heaven Sect. After all, although Yun Che's two relatives were abducted by Burning Heaven Sect, they were rescued immediately and were unharmed. But Xiao Kuangyun had Yun Che kicked out of his home, and his two relatives were locked up for three whole years.

And Yun Che's next words made Xiao Juetian almost unable to believe his ears.

“Hmm… what Sect Master Xiao said seems to make sense. If I kill your son, not only will my hands be stained, but I will also gain nothing. And if I don’t kill him…” Yun Che held up his chin with his hand, looking thoughtful.

Xiao Juetian felt as if he heard the sound of an immortal. Yun Che's words were clearly about letting Xiao Kuangyun and Xiao Zong go... But of course, he wanted him to get a huge benefit. At this moment, Xiao Kuangyun's death was no longer important. The key was the safety of Xiao Zong! If he could use enough "benefits" to stabilize this god of death and let Xiao Zong escape from the shadow of this god of death, then he could accept any huge price... After all, no matter how big the price was, it was thousands of times better than destroying the sect.

"As long as Brother Yun is willing to let my son go, even if it means letting me, Xiao Zong, go through mountains of swords and pots of oil, I will never hesitate!" Xiao Juetian said anxiously.

“Hey, Sect Master Xiao, you are too polite. I am a junior, how can I let your huge Xiao Sect go through fire and water for me? I can spare your son, but…” Yun Che narrowed his eyes: “It depends on how much money your Xiao Sect is willing to spend to buy his life!”

money?

Xiao Juetian was slightly stunned. He had never thought that what Yun Che wanted in his words was actually money. But immediately, he reacted... Yun Che was obviously on his way to the Divine Phoenix Empire. The Divine Phoenix Empire had the headquarters of the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, and also had countless rare treasures that could not be found in the Blue Wind Nation. To obtain these things, the most important thing was enough money!

If this disaster that cast a shadow of extinction on their sect could be eliminated simply with money, Xiao Juetian would naturally be overjoyed, but he was not sure whether Yun Che would ask for an astronomical figure that their Xiao Sect could not afford. He held his breath and said very carefully: “I wonder… how much money my Xiao Sect would need to buy my son’s life?”

Yun Che looked at Xiao Juetian and slowly extended a finger.

Xiao Juetian's heart suddenly lifted, and he asked very carefully: "One... ten thousand purple coins?"

Ten thousand purple profound coins... is equivalent to one hundred million yellow profound coins, an astronomical figure that an ordinary person in Cangfeng would never dare to hope for in his entire life.

Yun Che sneered: “Your son’s life is only worth a mere ten thousand purple profound coins? It’s ten million!! Ten million… purple profound coins!”

"What...what!!" Xiao Juetian, a Blue Wind Overlord who had a psychological endurance that was beyond the reach of ordinary people, was still shocked and lost his voice on the spot after hearing this number. The Xiao Sect disciples behind him were even more shocked by this number.

Ten million... or purple Xuan coins! That's one billion Qing Xuan coins, one hundred billion Huang Xuan coins! !

“Why? Your reaction… do you think your son’s life is not worth this much?” Yun Che said indifferently.

Xiao Juetian said in a painful voice: "Brother Yun gave my son a chance to live, Xiao is very grateful. It's just 10 million purple coins, this number... My Xiao clan is small, it's really..."

“You’d better not tell you that Xiao Zong can’t afford it.” Yun Che interrupted Xiao Juetian’s words with a sinister voice: “If you tell me that a sect with a thousand years of accumulation can’t even take out tens of millions of purple coins, that’s insulting my intelligence! Your son’s life is certainly not worth this money, so... Is your Xiao Zong worth ten million!”

Xiao Juetian's heart suddenly tightened, his breathing stopped all of a sudden, and cold sweat instantly covered his forehead.

Xiao Zong can indeed afford 10 million purple coins... With the strength, power, and influence of Xiao Zong, the annual income is an astronomical figure, but at the same time, Xiao Zong's expenditure is also huge. In order to maintain the peak of Xiao Zong's strength, huge expenses are spent every year to train people in the sect, and for the young generation with extraordinary talents or special status, there must be a huge investment. And after income and expenditure, Xiao Zong's annual surplus is only a few hundred thousand purple coins. Yun Che opened his mouth and asked for 10 million purple coins... That is the wealth that Xiao Zong would need decades to save!

But now, facing this astronomical figure, Xiao Juetian dared not say a word of no, and did not even dare to show hesitation, because Yun Che was clearly using the entire Xiao Sect as a threat. He took a look at Xiao Kuangyun under his feet, his chest swelled and his veins popped out, and he almost wanted to tear him into pieces with his own hands. He also hated himself for spoiling this youngest son too much, letting him become a drunkard who was addicted to sex... and finally caused such a huge disaster.

As Xiao Kuangyun's father, he was too embarrassed to continue serving as the sect leader.

"Alas..." Xiao Juetian sighed and said, "If this 10 million can make Brother Yun willing to become friends with my Xiao Sect, then my Xiao Sect..."

“Forget about being friends. I, Yun Che, am just a nobody from the small city of Liuyun. How dare I be friends with your great Xiao Sect? But I have forgotten this grudge. As long as I don’t see Xiao Kuangyun again, I can pretend that nothing happened, including the person I accidentally killed... Xiao Wuyi!”

As soon as Yun Che's last words came out, the expressions of all the people in the Xiao Sect changed drastically. Xiao Juetian was even more nervous. He didn't dare to say another word. He turned around and sent a message to the old man behind him: "Immediately... no matter what method you use, collect 10 million purple profound coins and send them here within a quarter of an hour... Go now."

The old man nodded immediately, not daring to say anything more, and left quickly... In less than half a quarter of an hour, he hurried back, holding a purple gold card shining with purple light in his hand. Holding hundreds of billions of assets in his hands, the old man who had experienced a hundred years of wind and frost had his hands shaking constantly, as if he was holding a mighty mountain in his hands.

Yun Che stretched out his hand and instantly sucked the purple gold card into his palm, then scanned the amount in it with his consciousness...

There are exactly 10 million purple coins in it... not a penny less!

This is an astronomical figure for the four major sects of Blue Wind Nation, let alone for one person! If he was not facing a large number of people from Xiao Sect, Yun Che would have been unable to help but raise his head and laugh wildly. This amount of money, even in the Divine Phoenix Empire, is enough for him to squander.

The life of a waste, for him to gain so much, is really worthwhile. In fact, he never thought of destroying Xiao Zong from the beginning. Although it also violated his taboo, the two are not the same. On the Xiao Zong side, it was only Xiao Kuangyun who harmed him, his grandfather and his aunt. He would not vent his anger on the entire Xiao Zong, but it was different for Burning Heaven Sect! It was the decision of the entire sect's top leaders to kidnap his family and put him to death at all costs! They even pushed him to the limit of his patience again and again. If he did not destroy the whole clan, there was a high possibility that he would bite back in the future. But Xiao Zong, no matter what, still had a good attitude, and he was scared and absolutely did not dare to go against him.

Yun Che put away the purple gold card, then pushed out his palm fiercely. With a muffled sound, Xiao Kuangyun was smashed into the air, spurting blood in the air. When he landed on the ground, he was unconscious.

"Yun'er!" Although Xiao Juetian was extremely angry with Xiao Kuangyun, he was his own son after all. He rushed up quickly and saw that Xiao Kuangyun was covered in blood and had countless broken bones.

Yun Che had already flown into the air on the Snow Phoenix Beast, and his arrogant voice could be heard in mid-air: “Don’t worry, he won’t die, but he will have to spend the next few months in bed, and from now on, he won’t be able to be humane anymore! Such a bastard doesn’t deserve to have offspring! You guys in the Xiao Sect had better never let him step out of the Xiao Sect again. If I see his face again, you’ll have to pay more money to redeem his life!!”

The Snow Phoenix Beast was extremely fast, and Yun Che’s voice soon disappeared in his ears. Xiao Kuangyun’s body swayed, and he violently spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Master!" The surrounding elders quickly gathered around.

"Huh... I'm fine." Xiao Juetian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and waved his hand. He closed his eyes and said weakly: "That's good, at least Xiao Zong is saved, and I can finally sleep peacefully... Carry Yun'er to Elder Wuji."
