"Hahaha, Lord Harriet, you're too kind!" Ye Chen was also taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly.
Although she said that, Ye Ling, who was standing next to her, was not polite at all and stepped forward to take Harriet's spirit pearl.
"This? This? Lord Ye Chen, I'm so sorry! Look, I don't have any high-grade spirit pearls here either. How about I give you half a piece of inheritance stone tablet? We were tricked by Chris!" On the other side, the lord of the ancient trolls said with a bitter face.
Among all the lords, who suffered the most? It has to be him. He lost nearly half of his ancient trolls, and most of the rest were still seriously injured. It was a truly miserable situation.
He was quite ruthless; he simply gave up half of the inheritance stone tablet. Although half of it couldn't be used to refine the inheritance stone tablet, the divine power within it was still a valuable asset.
Of course, for most lords, divinity is of little use; it may seem precious, but it is priceless and unavailable, and no one wants it.
However, Ye Chen was delighted to hear the other party's words. He was in dire need of divine power to convert primordial points. Although the divine power in the half of the inheritance stone tablet was not much, he could still convert some of it.
"This? Fine! Seeing that you've been tricked by Chris so badly, half a legacy stone tablet it is!" Ye Chen reluctantly agreed, and the other party's face immediately lit up with joy.
Now it was Chris and the other blue dragon lord's turn to be in a dilemma. They had neither high-level spirit orbs nor inheritance stone tablets, which put them in a difficult situation.
"Um! I...can I leave you five blue dragons?" Chris was still hesitating when the blue dragon lord said, his voice trembling with tears.
He had already lost several blue dragons in the previous attack, and many of them were still seriously injured. Leaving Ye Chen with only five was already a huge loss.
Moreover, it would be a great disgrace for a lord to hand over his own clan as prisoners, and it might even lead to a rebellion by the remaining clan members.
But at this point he couldn't care less about anything else. He felt that if he continued to dawdle, none of the remaining blue dragons would come back.
Especially during the conversation, Hou, after seemingly having finished digesting, actually devoured another blue dragon, which deeply saddened the blue dragon lord, who then readily agreed to Ye Chen's terms.
"You!" Chris glared angrily, but at this point he didn't know how to persuade them. The five of them together couldn't beat the two of them, so how could they expect him to do it alone?
Not to mention that there was a Tier 6 bone dragon eyeing him menacingly nearby, and a sun that had inexplicably risen in the sky. All of this made him lose all confidence to continue struggling.
"Chris, listen to my advice, stop struggling and give up! When you can't resist, all you can do is enjoy it!" Harriet earnestly advised. He couldn't be the only one suffering, could he?
"You guys!" Chris was caught in a dilemma, and finally looked at Ye Chen with resentment, throwing a high-level lord's weapon at Ye Xi.
"Here you go, I hope you'll have the chance to enjoy this someday!" Chris said with a look of resentment, while tossing a light blue bead toward Ye Xi.
"Tsk tsk tsk! As expected of the Heavenly Pride Lord, you are indeed wealthy. But you, if you're going to back down, just admit it. Why make such threats? One high-grade spirit bead is their price. As the culprit, one spirit bead isn't enough for you. Leave five more fire dragons behind, they can be companions for those five blue dragons!" Ye Chen said with a sigh, easily doubling Chris's pay.
"Ye Chen! You've gone too far!" Chris shouted angrily. Just then, the Hou, who had eaten and drunk his fill, saw Ye Chen rushing over, only to find that it was just a projection. He passed through it without any hindrance and then stopped between the two of them with a puzzled look on his face.
"Me? What's wrong with me? I'll give you another chance to rephrase!" Ye Chen picked at his ear and asked nonchalantly.
"Me! Me! Me!" Chris stammered for a long time but couldn't come up with anything. The beast in front of him had left him with a huge psychological shadow.
"Brother, let's just back down! Otherwise, we might not be able to bring these five red dragons back, and we might even lose more!" the Blue Dragon Lord advised. Look at him, so decisive, he could give up five blue dragons without any consequences.
Unlike Chris, who even after admitting defeat, still made threats. Look! He just gave the other party an extra high-level spirit orb for nothing.
"I!!! It's nothing! I'm fine!" Chris finally managed to say through gritted teeth, leaving behind five red dragons before leaving with the others.
As for whether the other party will come back to seek revenge afterward, that's not something Ye Chen needs to think about right now. If you want to take revenge in the future, you need to have the power to do so, right?
Carrying a pile of things, Ye Xi and the others happily returned to their territory under the protection of Oros, while Ye Chen and Jian Mengyi were already looking forward to their harvest.
"I really didn't expect this. Clearing out a Dark Plain might not even yield two high-level spirit beads, but these lords snatched them back directly. They really are genius lords, they're damn rich!" Ye Chen played with the two spirit beads in his hand, never expecting that he would actually gather all the high-level spirit beads he needed for his Five Elements Cycle Formation.
"It's just that Harriet and the others are a bit richer; they probably only have this many high-grade spirit orbs combined!" Jian Mengyi said, but she was clearly in a good mood to be able to get so many spirit orbs at once.
"Murder and arson bring wealth and power. Should I find a few more lords to swindle?" Ye Chen said thoughtfully.
Upon hearing this, Jian Mengyi rolled her eyes. She was getting a good deal and still acting innocent. If she continued to swindle him, she would eventually get her comeuppance.
"Forget it, forget it. I'm a law-abiding citizen, fighting against darkness. I won't do things that harm my own people!" Before Jian Mengyi could speak, Ye Chen said to himself. As a model citizen, how could he harm his fellow believers? He would only be met with trouble from them, wouldn't he? Law-abiding citizens are always the ones who suffer.
Too lazy to pay him any attention, Jian Mengyi started sorting out her spoils. The total gains from the Dark Plains were enough to make any lord envious. The items Ye Xi sent back via the teleportation disc alone were piled up like a small mountain, and among them was a high-level spirit pearl.
Ye Chen has already collected all the spirit orbs, but that doesn't mean he doesn't need high-level spirit orbs anymore. With Jian Mengyi's promotion, Fatty's and Si Meng's promotion, and even the spirit orb slots in the lord's mansion, high-level spirit orbs are something that will always be scarce.
