C714 Wu Zi'an
Hearing Lee Hao's words, all the other cultivators were frightened, except for this man. His facial expression remained unchanged as he cupped his hands and said, "Senior, if you wanted to kill us, you could have killed us a long time ago. Why wait until now? Junior is not talented. I'm willing to serve Senior wholeheartedly."
Hearing this person's words, the other cultivators seemed to have woken up from a dream and copied his words, saying, "Go to the mountain of swords and go to the sea of flames, do as you wish."
Lee Hao found this 180 degree change in attitude funny, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved. In order to save their lives, these people had done so without a doubt.
Killing had never been Lee Hao's original intention. Even though there were killings happening all the time in this world, he still hoped that he would not get any blood from them.
Since these people's courage could not pose any threat to him, Lee Hao decided to let them go and give up the idea of killing all of them.
Lee Hao said faintly, "The death penalty can be avoided, but it's hard to escape punishment. It's not impossible for me not to kill all of you. I just need you to do two things."
The person who saw through Lee Hao's true intention immediately expressed his stance and cupped his hands, "As you wish, Senior."
The other cultivators also expressed their stance and said, "As you wish, Senior."
Lee Hao nodded his head in satisfaction and stated his two requests. But this time, Lee Hao's conditions were even more harsh. Because these people wanted to kill him, Lee Hao wanted them to use three-quarters of their wealth to buy their lives.
Resources were the foundation of cultivation. When these people heard Lee Hao's request, they hesitated, but that person didn't hesitate at all. He handed over three quarters of his Spirit Stone, and quite a few of them. There were eight thousand of them, which showed how extraordinary he was.
After the man placed the Spirit Stone on the ground, he said respectfully, "Senior, this is three quarters of my Spirit Stone. If senior doesn't believe me, I'm willing to hand the storage bag over to senior for inspection."
Lee Hao nodded in satisfaction. This person only had about ten thousand Spirit Stone on him, but he had taken out eight thousand. That was more than three-quarters of his original number. Furthermore, this person had never attacked him, so Lee Hao would not kill him.
Lee Hao said, "That's right. Take the three thousand Spirit Stones back! I will take half of your Spirit Stone."
"Thank you, Senior!"
The man was overjoyed. He immediately took back three thousand Spirit Stone from the ground. Now was not the time to be pretentious. In the Desolation Land, the Spirit Stone was much more precious than in the Spirit Realm. It was related to how long they could hide here.
With the first person taking the lead, although the people behind were reluctant, they still chose to live between their lives and the Spirit Stone.
The process of handing over the Spirit Stone was carried out in an orderly manner. The Spirit Stone on the ground began to accumulate, turning into a small mountain.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the sixth person. At this time, Lee Hao's face suddenly darkened, and he shouted coldly, "You're courting death!"
"What? What happened?"
Lee Hao's facial expression changed drastically, giving these people a fright. In an instant, they became nervous and uneasy.
Lee Hao shouted at the sixth person who handed over the Spirit Stone, "This is three-quarters of your value?"
That person immediately became nervous, and replied with a sullen face, "Senior, this is really three-quarters of my net worth. If you don't believe me, I can give the storage bag to senior to take a look."
This person was obviously the first person to learn, but this time, Lee Hao's answer was out of his expectations. He only heard Lee Hao faintly reply, "Okay! Bring your storage bag over. I want to see how many Spirit Stones you have."
This person's expression changed drastically. His heart was unusually bitter. Up until now, he still did not understand. Why didn't Lee Hao check the storage bags of other people? Why did he just check his storage bag? One had to know that he had paid quite a bit of Spirit Stone, which was one thousand. There were also people who had paid nine hundred, but Lee Hao didn't say anything.
Lee Hao checked the storage bag of this person. It was naturally because this person was dishonest and dared to play tricks in front of him. He did not even know how to write the word 'death'.
Very quickly, the answer was revealed. Lee Hao poured out everything from the sixth person's storage bag. There were 2,000 Spirit Stones in it, and the amount he had just handed over was 1,000 pieces, only one-third of it remained.
"What else do you have to say?!" Lee Hao sized him up with a cold gaze. He had only one purpose in doing this, and that was to make this man die with complete sincerity.
"Senior, I..." This man was in a panic, and he was filled with regret at the end of the day. When he saw Lee Hao just now, he only asked these people to hand over three-quarters of the Spirit Stone. However, he didn't check anyone's storage bag. An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he made a clever move.
Unfortunately, his intelligence was ruined by his own intelligence, and he ended up in such a situation!
After knowing the whole story, no one sympathized with this person. He did not have the strength, yet he broke the rules set by the strong, and was even discovered by the strong. He was courting death!
Plop!
This person suddenly knelt down and begged: "Senior, senior, please spare me! I... I'll hand over all the Spirit Stone, I only beg senior to spare my life on this account. "
"En!" Lee Hao nodded. He had accepted this person's condition. Without the Spirit Stone, if he still wanted to continue cultivating, he could only return to Spirit Realm. It was hard to predict whether he would live or die. As for staying in the Desolation Land, it would not take a hundred years for him to turn into dirt. No matter what, he would die. Lee Hao was too lazy to do it himself.
"Thank you, senior, thank you!"
This person was extremely grateful. He put away the other items and ran to the other side.
With this small interlude, the things that followed went very smoothly. No one dared to tamper with it anymore and obediently handed over three quarters of the Spirit Stone.
After handing over the Spirit Stone, these people swore that Lee Hao had achieved all of his objectives. He removed the grand formation and let them leave.
Seeing that Lee Hao really did not want to kill them, the big rock hanging in their hearts finally fell. They immediately flew into the sky and disappeared into the horizon after a few breaths.
After these people left, Lee Hao turned his gaze to the only cultivator left on the spot.
This person wasn't a stranger. He was the one who understood Lee Hao's intention and took the lead to hand over the Spirit Stone. However, the others had all made an oath, but this person didn't express anything.
Was he challenging his authority?
Lee Hao had never thought of this before. The reason why he let the others go was because he knew that this person had something to say to him.
Sure enough, as Lee Hao had expected, after seeing the other Cultivator leave, this man immediately cupped his hands and said, "Junior Wu Zi'ann greets senior."
"Tell me about it! What else do you want?" Lee Hao asked curiously.
Plop!
Wu Zi'ann suddenly knelt down, bowed deeply and said, "Senior, please accept me as your disciple."
"What? Become your disciple?"
A strange expression emerged on Lee Hao's face. Although he had extraordinary knowledge and vast divine abilities, his cultivation base was only at the Preliminary Period of Meditation. He didn't even have the chance to raise his cultivation base, so he wasn't in the mood to teach his disciple.
Lee Hao said, "Get up! There was no need to talk about the matter of taking a disciple. You are a Great Perfection of Meditation, and I am a Preliminary Period of Meditation. My disciple's cultivation base is higher than my master's. If this matter were to spread, I would be laughed at by everyone. "
