Mu Hanyan wiped a cold sweat from her forehead. She'd just come up with an excuse to blackmail Liu Qianyuan. Whether Gao Weihu cooperated or not didn't matter. She hadn't expected him to portray a seriously injured and dying man so perfectly. If she hadn't known him well, she would have almost believed him. It turned out that this fat guy had a talent for acting. She had underestimated him before.
Liu Qianyuan stared at Gao Weihu in a daze. He obviously didn't expect this guy's acting skills to be so superb. He was so angry that his teeth were itching.
To be honest, while his sword strike was vicious and extremely dangerous, it didn't cause Gao Weihu much damage. Instead, Gao Weihu's frantic slashing and hacking, like a mad tiger, severely injured him. If it weren't for the protection of his sacrificial robe, he would have been killed. Now, just thinking about the cold axe shadows in the sky made his bones feel like they were about to fall apart. As for the injuries alone, it was still unclear who would compensate whom.
But now wasn't the time to reason. Mu Hanyan was clearly trying to blackmail him, so there was no point in talking. If he really had to talk, he would have to use his strength.
The sacrificial robe was destroyed, and the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast had no idea where it had gone. He might not even be able to stop the High Mighty Tiger, so how could he possibly have the strength to reason with Mu Hanyan? He could only swallow his anger and let it go.
"I'll compensate you." As he said this, Liu Qianyuan took out a wooden box from his storage bracelet and handed it to Mu Hanyan.
Upon opening it, Mu Hanyan was surprised to find over a thousand multicolored soul beads inside. It looked like this guy had quite a catch, but it was also true that with the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast around, ordinary exotic beasts wouldn't even have the heart to resist. Hunting for the multicolored soul beads wouldn't be a piece of cake.
When Mu Hanyan saw those crystal-clear and colorful soul beads, golden stars suddenly flashed in her eyes.
After entering the Black Wood Prison, she was only focused on finding rare treasures to heal Liu Guang's bloodline and restore vitality to the Ancient Tree of Life. During this time, she had a series of hard battles with Zhan Yuan and was trapped in the illusion of life and death. She did not have a good time hunting for the five-colored soul beads. Although they took advantage of the two rampages of the Great Master Chuihuo, the overall harvest was not that great. Seeing the five-colored soul beads on Liu Qianyuan, Miss Mu began to think: Liu Qianyuan alone has so many five-colored soul beads on his body, right? The others combined should have a lot too?
"Is that all?" Mu Hanyan originally just wanted to ask for a small bribe and let Liu Qianyuan go, but seeing that he was so wealthy, she was reluctant to let him go like this. She curled her lips and said disdainfully.
"How much do you want?" Liu Qianyuan said gritting his teeth.
Mu Hanyan thought that with the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast's help, hunting for the Five-Colored Soul Orbs would be easy. Little did she know that he relied on a secret family technique to summon the Scarlet Thunder Golden Beast, making each summoning laborious and arduous. It wasn't as easy as she'd imagined. In order to obtain these thousands of Five-Colored Soul Orbs, he'd actually put in a lot of effort and hard work.
If it were someone else, they would probably be grinning from ear to ear after getting so many colorful soul beads at once. But Mu Hanyan actually thought it was not enough. How big is her appetite?
"If you had hurt someone else, even me, a thousand five-colored soul beads as compensation would have been enough, but you hurt Lord Gao Weihu. Maybe you don't know that Lord Gao is a peerless genius who has only appeared in tens of thousands of years in my Huayu Temple. He is also the backbone of my Huayu Temple and the hope for the revitalization of my Huayu Temple. At the same time, he is..." Mu Hanyan didn't know how many five-colored soul beads they had, so she didn't want to make a rash offer, so as not to let him get a bargain. She had to speak eloquently and keep praising Gao Weihu to highlight Lord Gao's worth.
Liu Qianyuan was bewildered after hearing this. Yes, Gao Weihu was quite powerful and could be terrifying when he got angry. But no matter how he looked at him, why couldn't he see that this fat man had any of the qualities of a genius who would become the backbone of the revival of hope?
The others looked at Gao Weihu, then at Mu Hanyan, all speechless. To extort money, the head priest was going all out, practically blowing Gao Weihu's fat into pieces.
Not to mention others, even Gao Weihu himself felt ashamed when he heard it. Looking at his thick arms and fat legs, he suddenly thought that he should lose weight, otherwise his appearance would not live up to the title of the mainstay of the millennium genius.
"Alright, alright, stop talking. I'll compensate you, you, you, and you all, hand over the five-colored soul beads." Liu Qianyuan couldn't bear it any longer and pointed at a group of trusted priests.
Although these priests were not as wealthy as Liu Qianyuan, they had the advantage of being numerous. Soon, Mu Hanyan had nearly a thousand more colorful soul beads in front of her.
"So little." Mu Hanyan had anticipated this outcome. She curled her lips and continued, "You have no idea how much the Huayu Divine Temple paid to help Master Gao improve his cultivation. Not only did we use all our cultivation resources on him, but we also owed him a huge debt. Fortunately, Master Gao didn't disappoint us. He was young and accomplished, and he made a big splash. In Huayu City, countless women fell in love with him at first sight, willing to remain single for his sake. You've hurt me like this, and I don't know if there are any hidden dangers. If anything were to happen, I don't know how I'd explain it to them when I get back..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking. Take it out, take it all out." Liu Qianyuan felt a chill and said to the other priests.
He finally understood that if he didn't squeeze them dry today, Mu Hanyan would be able to disgust him to death with just these words without any action.
The priests of the Temple of Death were so disgusted that they simply handed over their colorful soul beads as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Okay, that's enough." When it was Chen Ruoshan and others' turn, Mu Hanyan waved her hand and said.
Chen Ruoshan had spoken up for her when he was in Qianlong Valley. It was said that he had also tried to dissuade Liu Qianyuan when he had made things difficult for Su Baoer. Mu Hanyan had a good impression of him and didn't want to make things difficult for him.
Moreover, she could see that Chen Ruoshan and the others were not favored by Liu Qianyuan, so they did not get any benefits, and they had very few Five-Colored Soul Orbs. Anyway, Liu Qianyuan and the others had already handed over nearly 2,000 Five-Colored Soul Orbs, so they were not short of them.
Chen Ruoshan and others looked at Mu Hanyan with gratitude and took back the colorful soul beads they had taken out.
"Can we go now?" Seeing that the five-colored soul beads that the group had worked so hard to hunt were completely extorted by Mu Hanyan, Liu Qianyuan felt as if his heart was cut by a knife, and blood was flowing. However, he did not lose his temper. Instead, he suppressed his hatred and pretended to be calm and said.
"Let's go." Mu Hanyan was cleaning up the spoils and had no time to pay attention to him. She waved her hand and said.
Liu Qianyuan took the priests of the Temple of Death and left without looking back.
