Chapter 274: Fish Again (Fourth Update)
"One million?"
Taoist Shouren was numb.
Will this group of people always be like this? Will they never feel pain unless the sword light actually falls on them?
It turned out to be one million top-grade spirit stones. In fact, Taoist Shouren had always had a feeling.
As for the condition of one million top-grade spirit stones, it seemed that Lu Ye mentioned this number just for his sake.
Although he and Lu Ye didn't know each other, he had a feeling of...how to put it?
Taoist Shouren felt that the other party understood him very well.
And he seemed to understand each other a little.
The other party was not practicing the Guardian Avenue, so he could only think again that the one who was practicing the Guardian Avenue must be someone who was extremely close to Lu Ye.
"One million top-grade spirit stones are absolutely not enough. Not to mention one million, even two million would be too much. If you really want peace this time, you will have to pay a heavy price." Taoist Shouren said in a stern voice.
"Huh? Two million is already a lot of money, why doesn't he just go and rob it?"
Taoist Shouren just looked at him quietly.
He didn't know whether the other party was treating him as a fool or whether he was treating himself as a fool.
Lu Ye is just grabbing!
"One million and a half, we are willing to pay one million and a half as the price of peace. Brother Shouren, if all the sects and inheritances of the Fourth Heaven are destroyed by Lu Ye, the Fourth Heaven will be finished!"
Shouren was full of headaches.
"If you really want to make peace, tell me an acceptable upper limit, so that I can help you make peace. Don't talk about 1.5 million anymore." Taoist Shouren said with a stern look.
After all, he is a giant in the realm of heaven and earth. When he is angry, his eyes are stern and his breath is heavy, like a volcano that may erupt at any time.
"One... one million and eight hundred thousand?"
"Two million. If you agree, I'll go. If you don't agree, forget it!"
…
Everyone looked at each other and gritted their teeth.
"Two million is two million. Sorry to trouble you, Brother Shouren."
A top sect, with gritted teeth, the wealthy ones can come up with three to four million top-grade spirit stones, while for the poorer ones, two million top-grade spirit stones are enough to empty their homes, and the even poorer ones will need to sell their treasures.
Shouren also felt that two million should be enough.
He began to look for traces of the land.
A flying insect was circling in front of him. Taoist Shouren used this method to test the incense of enlightenment.
After all, by the time a person smells the fragrance of enlightenment, it is already too late.
I searched for more than a day.
Suddenly, the flying insect rushed forward like crazy. Taoist Shouren sucked it gently, and the flying insect fell into his hand and disappeared.
"Fellow Daoist Lu Ye, fellow Daoist Lu Ye, I am the poor Taoist Shou Ren, I have no ill intentions, do you still remember me?" Shou Ren hurriedly began to shout loudly.
Lu Ye's figure stopped.
Look at Taoist Shouren.
"What is it?"
"Fellow Daoist, I came here to seek peace on behalf of others. I am not going to say anything about the great principles of God's benevolence. This time I really came with their sincerity."
Lu Ye became slightly interested.
Sincerity?
Are they still sincere?
In his previous life, when he was practicing the way of protection, he had never seen much sincerity from these people.
Are you sincere now?
"Tell me, what are they willing to pay?" Lu Ye asked.
"The top forces are willing to give out 1.8 million top-grade spirit stones to settle our grievances. The first-rate forces are willing to give out 1.5 million, and the second-rate forces are willing to give out 1 million. Each force will give as much as it can. I hope you will understand."
"They were indeed wrong, and they have deeply realized their mistakes. The greedy ones have been killed. There are indeed some innocent people among the weaklings in these sects. I hope you will give them a chance."
"It's not a request, it's just a sincere hope."
In order to prevent it from becoming a moral kidnapping, Taoist Shouren emphasized this.
Lu Ye laughed dumbly.
It seems that Taoist Shouren is really experienced.
Perhaps there was a time when he was acting as a peacemaker and accidentally used morality to hold one of the parties hostage, causing the negotiation to collapse.
It can be said that behind every experience there may be a lesson of blood and tears.
Lu Ye glanced at the Human Emperor Banner.
Beep beep beep…
He took another look at the stone sword. It was fine, with just a faint red tint on the sword.
Lin Chuyue watched curiously from the side.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, what do you think?" Lu Ye looked at Lin Chuyue and said.
Lin Chuyue didn't expect Lu Ye to throw this question to her, and she pondered.
"It is true that some people are innocent, but if we don't kill them all, we will worry about the consequences."
Lin Chuyue’s answer was quite pertinent.
Of course there are innocent people. What does the decision of the sect’s upper echelons have to do with the sect’s disciples?
Disciples cannot control the sect’s upper echelons.
But if you keep these disciples, you can guarantee that they will never be able to catch up with you in their lifetime.
But if they can't catch up with you, how can they catch up with the people around you? How can they catch up with your descendants?
In his previous life, Lu Ye didn't have children because he thought it was unstable, so he didn't want any.
He is an orphan, so he naturally knows the hardships of orphans.
He would not have a child unless he was 100% sure that he would not collapse.
After all, I died again and again along the way, and who knows if I will die completely one day.
Fortunately, we are all practitioners, and we can decide not to have children as long as it does not affect our comfort. The things left in the body can be forced out by using our true energy.
And in this life, Lu Ye probably won't have children.
After all, he treats women like this now... If you come close, that's fine, but if you want to be his partner, sorry, I'm a eunuch, thank you!!!
"Fellow Daoist, this time they really admitted their mistakes sincerely and showed enough sincerity. We all rose from the weak, and the weak really cannot control the strong. The people who chased and killed you were wrong, and they died for what they deserved. The others also admitted their mistakes, so please forgive me."
Shouren's words were sincere and heartfelt, and his language was sad and helpless.
Lu Ye looked at Lin Chuyue.
"Friend Lin, if I were attacked by a powerful long-range magic weapon, could you withstand it?"
Lu Ye asked.
Lin Chuyue pondered for a moment.
It seems that he is thinking about the most powerful magic weapon of each major sect.
"Can!"
Lin Chuyue said affirmatively.
She also has a treasure, and it is at the level of heaven and earth. It’s just that the long-range attacks of other treasures are naturally not as powerful as her close defense.
"Are you ready..."
"Not bad, give them another chance. I'll help the Human Emperor Banner digest its food first."
Lin Chuyue nodded.
It's okay to go fishing.
She knew how crazy Lu Ye was in killing in the first three levels of heaven, and she knew that he could make such a decision. It seemed that Taoist Shouren must have touched some emotions in Lu Ye.
But this is what a normal person is like.
"Okay, let's give it a try and see if they'll take the bait!"
There was a hint of sarcasm on Lu Ye's lips.
Will it?
