Twenty slaps to the face!
And he even slapped himself?
The onlookers at the side widened their eyes. They had never seen such an exciting thing in their lives.
Some of them clearly knew that if they continued to stay here and saw such a scene, they might really be in trouble. However, if they left now, it would be a huge loss for them.
Such a rare scene, if they missed it, they did not know how long they would have to wait.
Those who lived in Black Fire City, even if they did not live in Black Fire City, as long as they had heard of Cang Yan's name, they would know how powerful he was.
But now, a young man who was not even twenty years old had made such a request.
Would Cang Yan do as he was told? Or would Cang Yan choose to kill this person directly?
Everyone held their breaths, waiting to see how things would unfold.
Cang Yan was naturally cursing Li Zongjiu in his heart. In fact, he was even a little angry. Even though Li Zongjiu was an honorary elder and was extremely important to the Heavenly Pill Pavilion, he, Cang Yan, might not be able to order him to commit such a self-harming act.
Naturally, it was not a problem for Cang Yan to be injured and bleed a little.
But in this situation, such an excessive request, it was a matter of face.
How could he comply? If this slap really landed on his face, then he, Cang Yan, would not be able to continue living in Black Fire City in the future.
With his current status, if he were to be humiliated by a little kid, then where would his prestige be in the future?!
Therefore, in Cang Yan's heart, he was naturally unwilling to do so.
When Li Zongjiu's honorary elder token appeared, Cang Yan already knew who Li Zongjiu was.
The Heavenly Pill Pavilion naturally had to spread the news of an honorary elder's appearance. Otherwise, if these people accidentally offended their honorary elder, wouldn't it be like a flood rushing against the Dragon King's temple?
Furthermore, Li Zongjiu had been an honorary elder for a period of time. The news had already spread everywhere.
Ordinary people might not pay too much attention to it. They might think that this was just a way for the Heavenly Pill Pavilion to attract attention. In reality, it was not that powerful.
However, as an internal member of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion, he naturally knew of Li Zongjiu's strength and potential.
"Elder, what happened earlier was Cang Yan's fault. He had eyes but failed to see and offended you. This Ten Thousand Year Longevity Fruit is my apology."
Cang Yan handed over a brocade box.
Money makes the world go round.
There was nothing that money couldn't solve.
If they did, then they would use pills, spiritual herbs, Origin Tools, and Origin Stones!
This kind of thing had to be useful at least.
Even Cang Yan would feel the pinch if he had to hand over the 10,000-year Longevity Fruit!
In order to obtain this 10,000-year Longevity Fruit, he had paid a great price. Even now, he was still reluctant to consume it. Even so, the effects of this 10,000-year Longevity Fruit would definitely be extraordinary if consumed directly!
It might even be comparable to the effects of a Grade 7 spiritual herb.
Li Zongjiu did not even blink as he kept the box.
Lee Yeon, who was behind him, rubbed her eyes when she saw this scene.
The situation had changed too quickly. Even with her intelligence, she still could not figure out what was going on. It seemed that Li Zongjiu had only taken out a token, but it was enough to make this seemingly powerful old man in front of her fearful.
He had originally wanted to kill the two of them, but now he had taken out a precious medicinal herb. This item definitely could not be bought outside.
Looking at the covetous looks on the faces of the people around them, it was obvious.
This item was definitely not simple!
"A 10,000-year item must be very powerful!"
Although Lee Yeon was also an alchemist, her realm had not reached such a level. This item was almost at the level of a Grade 7 spiritual herb. It was simply a wishful thinking.
Seeing Li Zongjiu accept his item, Cang Yan felt a sharp pain in his heart. However, he was also very glad. At least he only had to pay a small price and did not lose face. Although the 10,000-year Longevity Fruit was precious, it could not compare to his current status!
"Then reduce it by ten."
Li Zongjiu said indifferently.
The smile on Cang Yan's face froze before it could even spread.
He had never thought that Li Zongjiu would say this!
What did he mean?
Reduce it by ten.
Could this ten-thousand-year Longevity Fruit only be worth ten slaps from these mouths?!
This was obviously raising the price. It was obvious that he wanted to rip Cang Yan off!
Cang Yan's face turned extremely ugly. Although he had a few treasures on him, he was reluctant to sell them.
Soon, Cang Yan made up his mind.
Even if he was the Honorary Elder of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion, he was still a manager. He was in charge of many affairs in Black Fire City!
"Li Zongjiu, you are the Honorary Elder of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion, so I respect you. However, don't think that with this token, you can do whatever you want in the Heavenly Pill Pavilion!
If you insist on making things difficult for me, then we can only fight to the death! "
Cang Yan threw the token back to Li Zongjiu angrily.
Li Yan could not understand what was going on. Why was she angry again?
Li Zongjiu, on the other hand, laughed.
The corners of his mouth curled up.
He looked at Cang Yan.
"Like I said, the Heavenly Pill Pavilion has such good conditions, yet it is still unable to become one of the top forces in the empire. Today, I finally understand. As the Honorary Elder, I have to clean up the tumors in the Heavenly Pill Pavilion for the glory of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion!"
Li Zongjiu said. The content of his words caused Cang Yan's heart to jump.
"Li Zongjiu, don't you dare!"
Cang Yan shouted angrily. In the next moment, Li Zongjiu's eyes became extremely ferocious. In the next moment, his figure flashed and he rushed in front of Cang Yan.
When Cang Yan saw the change in Li Zongjiu's eyes, he was already prepared. When Li Zongjiu rushed out, Cang Yan immediately activated his Yuan Power.
At the same time, he pushed his own aura to its peak.
Grade 8 Yuan King!
"Boom!"
"You don't have the ability to defeat me!"
Cang Yan roared. However, in the next moment, the Desolate Heaven Essence in Li Zongjiu's hand broke through Cang Yan's Yuan Power defense.
"Diamond Chainmail!"
A golden light was released from Cang Yan's body. A black robe immediately appeared on his body. In the face of such a terrifying threat, he naturally had to use his strongest defense.
"Bang!"
The black robe was instantly torn into pieces.
At the same time, the rod hit Cang Yan's head.
Cang Yan's head immediately exploded on the spot. His eyes widened and his head exploded!
Blood splattered and gushed out like a fountain.
The terrifying bloody light rushed to the ceiling.
Then, Cang Yan's corpse fell to the ground.
When they saw this scene, everyone present felt a sense of suffocation.
That person, that person, wasn't he the overlord of Black Fire City, Cang Yan?
Although he was not the overlord, he was definitely one of the big shots in Black Fire City.
Cang Yan's head exploded just like that.
"Wouldn't it have been better to just give him a few slaps? Why did he have to give up his life? Sigh."
Li Zongjiu felt extremely helpless in his heart.
When it came to killing people, it was because he had no other choice. He was not a psychopathic killer.
