478 Death Restriction
“Oh? Zhan Clan Master, you didn’t speak in such a tone earlier!”
“I’m just a junior, and my strength is inferior to you, Clan Master Zhan. What qualifications do I have to make the you put on such an attitude in front of a junior? I’m really overwhelmed by your favor!”
Gu Xi cupped his hands in front of Zhan Wushuang with a reverent and fearful expression. Song Qingluan, who was standing at the side, could not help but smile.
On the other hand, Zhan Wushuang’s face was ashen. He had already cursed Gu Xi’s ancestors over and over again in his heart. Even though he wanted to slap Gu Xi to death, he could only suppress his anger when he thought of the terrifying strength that Yun Zhiyi had displayed just now.
He forced a smile and said, “What are you saying… I attacked you just now because I saw your talent and couldn’t help but test you. If I didn’t control my strength and went too far, I hope you won’t take it to heart.”
Upon hearing this, even Gu Xi, who was known for his thick skin, could not help but give Zhan Wushuang a thumbs up in her heart. This old man was really shameless!
“No wonder the Zhan Clan is able to survive so well in the eastern continent and have such a high status. It must have a lot to do with the Zhan Clan Master’s shamelessness, right?” Gu Xi sneered at Zhan Wushuang’s shamelessness with disdain.
Zhan Wushuang chuckled but did not continue the conversation. It was obvious that he did not want to talk too much with Gu Xi.
Seeing that Zhan Wushuang did not continue the conversation, Gu Xi grinned and slowly walked in front of Zhan Wushuang. He sized up the latter’s miserable appearance and said, “If you want to live, it’s very simple. Do you still remember my request to exchange Zhan Hong? As long as the Zhan Clan Master can take out a heaven-grade spirit array or spirit skill, I will naturally guarantee your survival.”
The moment Gu Xi said that, Zhan Wushuang was stunned for a moment. He obviously did not expect Gu Xi to use this opportunity to bring up this topic again. But immediately after, his expression turned ferocious, and the veins on his neck and forehead popped out due to the exertion of force. He said sternly, “You’re dreaming! My Zhan Clan doesn’t have any heaven-grade spirit skills or spirit arrays. Even if we do, we will definitely not hand them over to others. I, Zhan Wushuang, will definitely not become a sinner of the Zhan Clan just for the sake of my own life!”
The sudden change in Zhan Wushuang’s attitude surprised Gu Xi, but he knew that a heaven-grade spirit skill and spirit array were extremely important to a sect or family. It could even be said that they were the lifeblood of the sect or family.
If Zhan Wushuang really handed over the Zhan Clan’s lifeblood in order to live, then this action would do more than just disappoint all the Zhan Clan disciples. Without the intimidation of the heaven-grade treasure, the Zhan Clan would definitely go downhill in the future. In the end, they would not be able to escape the fate of being submerged in the deepest depths of the era.
“Since the Zhan Clan Master is so considerate of the clan, it would be a little tactless for this junior to continue like this.” Gu Xi chuckled and did not continue to ask for the heaven-grade treasure.
Although Gu Xi did not know much about the Zhan Clan, he knew that the current Clan Master, Zhan Wushuang, was already in the intermediate Great Saint stage. Then, there might be other unfathomable old monsters behind the Zhan Clan. Perhaps they might not be as strong as Elder Yun, but once the Zhan Clan was forced into a corner, who knew what they would do?
After all, the Zhan Clan was a famous aristocratic family of inheritance in the Eastern Continent. It was better not to push them too hard. After all, even a rabbit would bite when it was anxious.
“One billion spirit stones, plus ten earth-grade spirit skills or spirit arrays. I will accept no less than three advanced earth-grade spirit skills and no less than five intermediate earth-grade spirit skills. How about it?”
Gu Xi grinned. Although he seemed to be asking for Zhan Wushuang’s opinion on the surface, his words did not have any intention of asking. Instead, it sounded like he was not to be questioned.
“A billion? This guy’s demands are so exorbitant!”
“Our Lingyun Sect might not even be able to earn one billion spirit stones in our lifetime…”
“He’s also asking for ten earth-grade spirit array skills. Gu Xi’s appetite is really big.”
As Gu Xi’s voice fell, the crowd in the distance started to whisper to each other. Most of them thought that Gu Xi was asking for an exorbitant price, but there was nothing they could do about it. After all, Zhan Wushuang’s life was in his hands…
However, compared to everyone’s shock, Zhan Wushuang looked to be at ease. One billion spirit stones was not a small sum, and could even be said to be the equivalent of the Zhan Clan’s accounts for the past ten years. However, it was still insignificant when compared to his life and a heaven-grade spirit array or spirit skill.
As for the ten earth-grade spirit array or skills, although they were not of a low grade, there were more than ten of them in the Zhan Clan’s sacred storage pavilion. It was not the end of the world to take out ten of them.
“Alright, it’s a deal!”
“However, this is a big sum of spirit stones. I’ll need Little Friend Gu to wait for a few days before I can hand everything over to you.”
With all the above factors combined, Zhan Wushuang agreed without hesitation. It even made Gu Xi feel that he was asking for too little. But now that the deal is made, he naturally could not go back on his words at the last minute. Otherwise, he would be no different from Zhan Wushuang.
“There’s no rush. In that case, I’ll have to trouble Elder Yun.”
Gu Xi shook his head and immediately exchanged a glance with Elder Yun. The latter immediately understood and suddenly raised his hand to gently Pat Zhan Wushuang’s chest. After doing all this, he completely removed the restrictions on Zhan Wushuang.
“What did you do to me?!” Zhan Wushuang had no time to be happy after regaining his freedom. Yun Zhiyi’s palm strike had given him a strange feeling. At the same time, he had a bad premonition.
“It’s just a restriction placed on your heart. When you bring all the things that Gu Xi asked for, it will disappear on its own. If you go back on your word or play any tricks, you’ll know the consequences.” Yun Zhiyi spoke indifferently, as if he was talking about some trivial matter.
And it was these casual words that made Zhan Wushuang feel as though he was pulled right back to the gates of hell. It could even be said that he was already halfway in.
Upon hearing this, Zhan Wushuang was shocked. He quickly used his inner sight to check the area around his heart. Indeed, he found an insignificant restriction. Even though this restriction looked unremarkable, the surging energy contained within it was something that Zhan Wushuang did not dare to underestimate.
He had no doubt that if this thing were to exert force in his heart, then his entire body would explode into a cloud of blood mist. No matter how strong he was, it would be of no use.
