As for the Black Tortoise Secret Domain, you can open it yourselves. I'll say the ugly words first. As long as you can take out what I want, I'll hand over the key without hesitation. If you don't have enough experts to open the secret domain, I can even sell myself to help you open the Black Tortoise Secret Domain. Of course, you'll still have to pay for the necessary expenses! "
No matter what these people said, at this moment, Luo Xiu put on an appearance of having no desires, and the words he said caused everyone's faces to turn black.
Luo Xiu's words left these people with no good way to deal with him. More importantly, he wasn't weak at all. His attitude made it clear that it had nothing to do with him and they could do whatever they wanted. Under such circumstances, no matter what kind of cooperation the three major powers and the Heavenly Yin Cult reached, Luo Xiu would be the ultimate beneficiary.
This made many people unhappy. However, even though they were unhappy, because of Luo Xiu's interference, it was impossible for the three superpowers to fight with the Heaven and Earth Sect. Furthermore, the Black Tortoise Secret Realm was about to open. Gathering the keys to open the Black Tortoise Secret Realm was the most important thing.
Of course, it would be perfect if they could take this opportunity to drag the Heaven and Earth Sect down with them. However, they didn't expect Luo Xiu to be so alert and didn't give them any chance. This was the reason why the three major powers felt a headache. In the past thousand years, the three major powers were able to firmly suppress the Heaven and Earth Sect, forcing it to retreat within their sphere of influence. The Heaven and Earth Sect's strength even regressed. The reason was that the previous quasi-sage of the Heaven and Earth Sect was a brainless guy who only knew how to kill. Because of this, the Heaven and Earth Sect was attacked from both sides and became the target of the three major powers.
They didn't expect Luo Xiu to be so cautious. Of course, their expressions weren't good. However, Luo Xiu had already made it clear. No matter how unhappy these quasi-sages of the three major powers were, they realized the seriousness of the problem. If they wanted to say anything, it would be inappropriate.
More importantly, the overall strength of the Heaven and Earth Sect wasn't much stronger than before. If one had to point out a change, it would be that the Heaven and Earth Sect didn't have to fight for power anymore. This also meant that the Heaven and Earth Sect could gather most of their strength to deal with external pressure. This was the most troublesome part for the three major powers.
"Alright then. As for the secret domain key, we're prepared to pay for the right to use. However, your asking price is a little too high. Although the three major powers can take out these things, it's not worth it!
Compared to the unknown gains, these are real cultivation resources, real gold and silver. The Secret Realm is full of dangers and too many uncertainties. It may not be able to recover the cost, so you have to lower the price. This is an exorbitant price, and we can't accept it! "
The purple-gold crowned Jue Mingzi looked speechlessly at Luo Xiu and explained helplessly.
Although he could take out Luo Xiu's request by himself, to be honest, he really didn't want to give it.
The reason was actually very simple. If they really took out these things, wouldn't it mean that they had acknowledged Luo Xiu's status and had the qualifications to be on par with them? In a way, all their previous attempts to suppress Luo Xiu would be for naught.
This was a situation that the three major powers, including Jue Mingzi, didn't want to see. Even though Luo Xiu now had the qualifications to talk to them directly, there were still Sages in the three major powers. If Luo Xiu really went overboard, they could just ask the Sages in their respective sects to join forces and kill him.
Of course, this was the final choice out of desperation. Because Sages couldn't easily take action, this was already an unspoken rule. Therefore, there was a scene of everyone calmly discussing and communicating. However, whether it was Jue Mingzi or the others, no one would have thought that Luo Xiu actually didn't intend to make things difficult for the three major powers. As for the exorbitant demand, it was just a test. Now that Jue Mingzi had raised a different opinion, Luo Xiu was naturally prepared to take advantage of the situation.
"Hehe, do you really think that you have the initiative? This is just because I don't want to completely fall out with you. It's meaningless, and there's no benefit. These resources are just to make up for the unwillingness in my heart. Do you really think that I'm someone who lacks these resources?
If it weren't for the sects dragging me down, I wouldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with you here. I would have already fought with you. Everyone, do you really think that you can still suppress me? You know that my wife is still in seclusion. Once she comes out, the two of us will join forces. Hehe, an ordinary Sage may not be our opponent. If you don't believe me, you can wait for a while, and then we can discuss the price of the key. What do you think?
After all, there seems to be some dispute between you and the Heavenly Yin Cult. I can wait for both sides to reach a compromise or reach an agreement before I come to discuss with you! "Luo Xiu sneered and said in a mocking tone.
At this moment, Luo Xiu looked at the people in the field and then looked at Tian Yin and Jue Ming Zi. His face revealed a smile that was not a smile. The mockery in his expression was undisguised. At this moment, Luo Xiu finally understood that these people were not prepared to have a good talk with him. They only wanted to take advantage of him and did not want to pay the price. How could there be such a good thing? Could it be that all the good things in the world had been taken by them?
Thinking of this, Luo Xiu completely lost interest in continuing to talk with them.
Luo Xiu's words were like a slap to everyone's face. However, due to the circumstances, no one dared to refute him. Everyone understood that although Luo Xiu wasn't in an advantageous position due to the burden of his sect, it was just as he had said. If Luo Xiu was pushed to the edge, he could really do something crazy. After all, he was younger than most of the people present, which meant that he could do things without a bottom line. This was what Jue Mingzi and the others found tricky. After all, those who didn't follow the rules were the most troublesome. This was the truth that had never changed since ancient times.
Everyone looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. Even the Sage-to-be from the three major powers felt troubled by Luo Xiu's stubbornness. More importantly, Luo Xiu didn't have any motivation at all. This was what made them feel the most helpless.
If it was before, they might have thought that Luo Xiu was retreating in order to advance. However, when Luo Xiu said this, it proved that they really didn't have any desires at all. In an instant, the shameless way of Qiankun Sect made the three major powers feel extremely uncomfortable. Even though they were prepared to be cheated, they didn't expect that not only did they have to be cheated, but they also had to face it with a smiling face. This made the higher-ups of the three major powers feel somewhat sullen.
Previously, it was completely different from their plans. Everyone had come here with the intention of annihilating the Heaven and Earth Sect. However, because of Luo Xiu's appearance, everything was heading in an unpredictable direction. Who knew why things would suddenly turn out like this? To the people present, this was the most helpless thing.
If it was before, the situation of Qiankun Sect might have made them feel uncomfortable. However, under the current circumstances, the entire Qiankun Sect had become the target of the major powers. Of course, this was just their thoughts. With Luo Xiu around, they couldn't oppress Qiankun Sect as unscrupulously as before. This was what made them feel even more uncomfortable. They didn't even have the confidence to speak as before. This was what made them feel even more helpless.
"Alright, we can give you the item, but you have to come over and help us open the Xuanwu Secret Realm. As for whether you want to send people in, it's up to you. We won't make any requests. If Qiankun Sect is interested, you can send your disciples in as well. If you aren't willing, we won't force you. However, there is one thing that I have to say first. I hope that Brother Xuan Ming will keep his promise and not cause any more trouble when the time comes!" Jue Mingzi only said this when he saw that the situation was already like this.
This was because he knew that if Luo Xiu continued to pester them, who knew what would happen next? Therefore, he agreed to Luo Xiu's request without hesitation. Even if he had to pay a huge price, he wouldn't hesitate. After all, compared to the uncertain factors, Xuan Ming could be said to represent Qiankun Sect to make any request. This was what made them feel fearful.
It was self-evident that an existence that could unite as a rope would raise the morale of the entire Qiankun Sect. Moreover, unknowingly, they could completely eliminate the enemies who were targeting them. This was also very beneficial to the future of Qiankun Sect. Now, the entire North-West Region had undergone a huge change because of Luo Xiu's appearance. Even Luo Xiu himself was aware of this.
Of course, all of this was based on the fact that Luo Xiu possessed great strength. The most important point was that Luo Xiu had killed hundreds of Daluo Golden Immortals in an instant in front of these guys. This was what made them feel terrified. Even if Luo Xiu had borrowed the power of the Spiritual Treasure, his great strength was the biggest reason why he had the confidence to threaten them. No one dared to refute this point.
"If that's the case, then there's nothing more to say. By the way, fellow Taoist Tianyin, hehe, let's settle the score between us. Since you launched a sneak attack on me and almost succeeded, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Luo Xiu nodded and agreed to Jue Mingzi's request. Then, he turned his gaze to Tian Yin and said with a cold look.
At this moment, Lin Fan's threats weren't just empty words. He was truly prepared to take action against this fella. His motive was simple. He wanted to kill this fella and keep him alive. It was better than letting this mad dog continue to wreak havoc on the Qiankun Sect disciples. Furthermore, this might bring about all sorts of unnecessary trouble. This was something that Lin Fan didn't wish to see.
Seeing Luo Xiu's reaction, Jue Mingzi and the others were happy to watch the show. They all stepped back and distanced themselves from Tian Yin. Tian Yin's scalp tingled when he saw Luo Xiu's aggressive look. In fact, he had noticed something from the conversation between Jue Mingzi and Luo Xiu. However, he could not do anything about it now.
He really didn't know where Luo Xiu got the confidence to say such arrogant words. However, when he saw Jue Ming Zi and the others looking like they were watching a good show, he knew that this battle was inevitable. Of course, he wasn't completely unprepared. From the fact that his sneak attack didn't succeed, it was enough to show that Luo Xiu actually had some skills.
However, at the same time, Tian Yin did not believe that Luo Xiu could have such powerful strength after breaking through in such a short period of time. He could erupt such terrifying fighting strength without paying a price. Therefore, he did not retreat as Luo Xiu expected. Instead, he revealed a cruel smile.
"Haha, what do you want? Do you want to fight to the death with me?
Hahaha, aren't you afraid that others will take advantage of us? If we really end up in a life and death struggle and others take advantage of us, are you really willing to do so? You must know that your Qiankun Sect has just started to improve. If something were to happen to you now, haha, I don't think I need to say more about the consequences! "
Although he had made up his mind to fight with Luo Xiu, Tian Yin was still prepared to threaten him. After all, psychological warfare was sometimes more effective than a real battle.
"Haha, I know what you want to say. But do you think it's possible?
With my current strength, let alone you, even if your Heavenly Yin Sect sent two Sage-to-be here, I can't stop you. Let's not talk nonsense. Take this! "
Luo Xiu snorted in disdain. After he finished speaking, he ignored Tian Yin. A light flashed in his hand, and a violent blood-colored power gathered in his hand. Then, it turned into a sharp blade and slashed toward Tian Yin. Its speed was fast, and its method was fierce. It was quite similar to Tian Yin's style of sneak attack.
Even though Tian Yin was extremely cautious and vigilant at this moment, Luo Xiu's attack was sudden and fierce. He did not hold back at all. He had also calculated Tian Yin's next reaction. Therefore, the power directly hit Tian Yin without any damage. The left side of Tian Yin's body was almost cut open on the spot. Luo Xiu's powerful attack caused the expressions of the people around him to change a little. Each and every one of their expressions became incomparably solemn. Luo Xiu's attack was really a little too sharp.
Previously, when Carefree Boy's doppelganger was killed, everyone only saw it from afar and didn't feel anything. However, when Tian Yin was attacked, everyone realized how terrifying Luo Xiu's attack was. This discovery made everyone present become incomparably solemn. Even if they were facing Luo Xiu's attack, they wouldn't have much chance to resist. Therefore, everyone secretly became vigilant. The terrifying strength displayed by Luo Xiu at this moment was already overwhelming.
