"Five million top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals!"
Jiang Yuan opened the storage ring and saw what was inside: five million top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals. This amount, converted into the most commonly used low-grade Holy Spirit Crystals, was close to 10 billion, a fortune that only top-tier forces in the entire Ancheng could possess.
"I can only pay half the ransom until I see my granddaughter!" Wei Shitian didn't think the other party would harm Wei Yue at all. This was his confidence as a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. In fact, if Wei Yue didn't need to cut off the inner demons of this human boy, he would have killed him without hesitation and wouldn't have given him a chance to negotiate fairly.
"very good!"
Jiang Yuan inspected the storage ring thoroughly. After confirming that there were no suspicious items or tracking devices on it, he put the entire storage ring into a pure silver box.
This box is called the Teleportation Box, and it's part of the set he purchased at a high price. The Teleportation Box is filled with advanced arrays that can teleport items placed inside to the matching Receiving Box. However, it can only be used three times; after that, both boxes will be destroyed.
"I'm a man of principle, I'll do the job once I've received the money!" Jiang Yuan opened the Demon Refining Pot, and Wei Yue strolled out leisurely.
"Grandpa, why did it take you so long to come? That human brat has already taken advantage of me!" Wei Yue said with a smile, showing no awareness whatsoever of being a hostage.
"Watch your words! I only ate one meal from you, and I only did so reluctantly after you insisted. Don't make me take responsibility!" Jiang Yuan felt much better after receiving five million top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals.
"The Kingdom of All Saints!"
The moment Wei Yue appeared, Wei Shitian's aura changed drastically, and the air within a thousand meters around him completely froze, with only Wei Shitian's powerful divine energy surging.
The Holy Spirit Clan had set up an array before Jiang Yuan arrived. As soon as Wei Yue appeared, the array would be activated to ensure that the human brat would have no chance to harm Wei Yue.
"Crazy woman, is this what you call 'money for money'? Looks like you want both the person and the money today!" Jiang Yuan mocked.
Wei Yue blushed. She felt a little displeased when she saw Jiang Yuan's angry expression.
"Granddaughter, step aside, Grandpa will help you vent your anger!" Wei Shitian had complete control of this space, and Jiang Yuan was powerless to move.
"Grandpa, you promised to give him the Source of Light and Darkness if he releases me. Don't break your promise!" Wei Yue was not in a good mood. Jiang Yuan meant a lot to her. If she broke her promise to him, how would she face him in the future?
"Granddaughter, I've watched you grow up since you were little, and I still know you well. You like him, don't you!" Wei Shitian was already only two meters away from Jiang Yuan, but Jiang Yuan was still unable to move.
"I didn't!" Wei Yue shook her head in refusal, but there was still some confusion in her eyes. This question was clearly beyond her comprehension.
“I can give him the source of light and darkness, or I can spare his life, but he must join my Holy Spirit Clan and marry you!” Wei Shitian said, looking at the two with great interest.
"Grandpa, don't play matchmaker! Give the things back to him and let him go!" Wei Yue said, somewhat ashamed and indignant.
"I'm not asking you, I'm asking him!"
Wei Shitian approached Jiang Yuan with a threatening tone.
"I refuse!" Jiang Yuan had already sent the five million top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals back to his own possession, so he was fearless.
Upon hearing those three crisp words, Wei Yue, who was biting her lip, couldn't help but tighten her grip. She had originally thought that Jiang Yuan might hesitate a little, but seeing his resolute attitude, she was at a loss for words.
“Very well, the last person who rejected me is already buried with grass three meters tall! Will you be the next one?” Wei Shitian’s tone turned icy.
"Grandpa, give him the Source of Light and Darkness. I don't want to owe him anything!" Wei Yue's gaze towards Jiang Yuan changed. If she still had some expectations a moment ago, she no longer held any hope.
"snort!"
Wei Shitian did not refuse. With a flick of his hand, a beautiful black and white halo appeared in front of Jiang Yuan. "You are a smart man. You should know that some things you may have the life to take, but not the life to use!"
"Is that so?" Jiang Yuan gritted his teeth, grabbed the black and white halo back into his hand, and stuffed it into the teleportation box.
"Since that's the case, then I'll enslave you and make you my Yue'er's male concubine!" Wei Shitian suddenly made his move, unleashing his powerful Nascent Soul Realm strength towards Jiang Yuan.
"no!"
Just as Jiang Yuan was awaiting death, Wei Yue stood in front of him, now caught in a dilemma.
"Grandpa, let him go. I don't want to see such a great man end up like that!" Wei Yue shook her head, the light in her eyes gradually dimming.
She was one of the few people who knew Jiang Yuan's true identity—a man who challenged the innate demon god's body with his mortal body, a man who pushed the battlefield to its peak. If she were to make him a servant, she would not feel supreme glory, but only endless regret.
"No, today he has no choice but to go with you or die!" Wei Shitian said resolutely, leaving no room for negotiation.
Hearing this, Wei Yue also became distressed. Seeing that Jiang Yuan and his grandfather were unwilling to back down, she could only walk up to Jiang Yuan and whisper to persuade him, "Why don't you come back to Shenshan with me? I won't force you to marry me. Let's just pretend."
"Wei Yue, is this your decision?" Jiang Yuan smiled self-deprecatingly. Before coming here, he thought Wei Yue might keep her promise.
"I'm sorry, I..." Wei Yue wanted to explain, but she couldn't utter a single word.
"Where's the knife you usually use to commit suicide? Give it to me as a souvenir later!" Jiang Yuan smiled at this moment.
