C49 An Exorbitant Price
C49 An Exorbitant Price
Anxious about his survival, Yang Shi said, "I am the eldest heir of my family. They will pay you as much money as you want for my life."
"Tsk tsk. If you have so much money, why were you taking that measly allowance given by the League of Martial Cultivators? Fortunately, you ended up provoking me that day."
Su Lang smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "Alright. Stop talking nonsense. Ask your family to immediately bring 200,000 gold coins here."
The Yang family sent four Initial Martial Mortals to protect their young master, so they were second only to the mighty Ye family.
Therefore, Su Lang demanded 200,000 gold coins directly.
"200,000 gold coins!"
Yang Shi's body trembled, and his face twitched.
The Yang family had been accumulating wealth for years, yet Yang Shi was sure that 200,000 gold coins were nearly half of their entire savings.
"What's wrong? Are you not worth the price?"
Su Lang raised his eyebrows. "Forget it; I'll just send you to hell."
After saying that, Su Lang lifted the Tang Blade, which was still enveloped by lightning dragons.
"No! Don't!"
Yang Shi shouted in horror. "200,000, right? My father will give you that since I'm his only son."
"Deal!"
Su Lang gave a happy little smile and sheathed his sword.
Actually, Su Lang himself knew that he was asking for a ridiculous price. So, when Yang Shi agreed to his demand, he was pleasantly surprised. Getting 200,000 golden coins out of him was beyond Su Lang's wildest imaginations.
With this many gold coins, he could easily upgrade the three functions that the system gave him. At that time, Su Lang's improvement speed would increase by leaps and bounds.
"Thank you for sparing my life, Lord Su! Thank you, thank you!"
After being pardoned like this, Yang Shi's excitement knew no bounds, and he kept kowtowing as tears streamed down his face.
Finally, he didn't have to face certain death.
He knew that because of this incident today, he would be harshly punished. He would be punished according to the family laws, and maybe he would have to even shred a layer of skin.
However, all of that would be worth it. Why? Because he would be able to live for the rest of his life. He would still be able to squander his wealth, play with beauties, and trample over ordinary people.
"Alright, all of you, get up!"
Su Lang shouted. Yang Shi and the others trembled when they heard the resounding shout. Due to their injuries, they struggled to get up as they had to endure the pain.
"You!"
After looking for a moment, Su Lang finally found a guard who could still walk. "Go and report this to your family head.
"Ask him to prepare 200,000 gold coins. I want them sent to the red forest in the E-class area. The one delivering the coins should be a Standard Martial Cultivator, and I want them within half a day."
"If I don't get the money before the time limit or if the Yang family dares to play any tricks, then your young master will die a horrible death."
"After I kill him, I'll deliver his head to you guys. You'll not only lose your dignity but would also become a laughingstock."
Of course, Su Lang wasn't going to risk his life; he would obviously leave all those life-threatening tasks to his clone.
As for why he chose the E-class territory of the Green Deer beast? It was because his clone was there currently hunting deers, and that place didn't belong to any faction; there was no stronghold there.
"Yes! Lo-Lord... I'll go and inform them right away!"
The guard nodded like a chicken pecking grains and rushed towards the stronghold.
"Let's go."
Su Lang turned around and began walking.
"Huh?"
Yang Shi was stunned for a second and said carefully, "Lord Su, you are going in the wrong direction. We won't reach the Green Deer territory if we walk in that direction."
"Who said I was going to the Green Deer territory?"
Su Lang glanced at Yang Shi indifferently. "By the way, did I say you can talk?"
"I'm sorry; I was wrong!"
A single rebuttal from Su Land scared him so much that he shrunk his neck like a turtle.
He shut his mouth and began following Su Lang with his three injured guards.
After placing his three guards between him and Su Lang, he finally felt a little secure.
Soon, Su Lang brought Yang Shi and his guards to a deserted mountain stream.
"Clone Dispatch!"
With a single command from Su Lang, the clone hunting in the Green Deer territory appeared before him.
"T-this... Black robe, white mask..."
When they looked at the clone, Yang Shi and his guards were so surprised that their eyeballs nearly fell out of their sockets.
Before encountering Su Lang, they were actually returning to the city. They were told that a black-robed guy was going around and stirring up trouble for the Ye family. He had already destroyed their F-grade stronghold.
And now, that black-robed lunatic was standing right in front of them.
Moreover, one second he wasn't there and the next—he was standing there! He literally came out of nowhere!
What surprised them more was the fact that this black-robed maniac was bowing towards Su Lang. He looked like a subordinate bowing to his master.
"Is this black-robed madman Su Lang's subordinate?"
This thought struck Yang Shi and his group's minds almost simultaneously. But this just went on to increase the shock and fear they felt.
Breaking through the Martial Mortal realm from the Body Tempering realm within a day was already an unbelievable feat.
Just when they thought that Su Lang couldn't surprise them anymore, he went up and summoned a subordinate from supposedly the abyss.
This was simply illogical and unbelievable.
Just what kind of background did this Su Lang have?
