THE SUPREME MARTIAL KING SHOCKING ALL REALMS

Chapter 971: Chapter 968: Who Said the Spirit Stones Belong to Him?_1

“Sect Leader, we…” Zhou Qing couldn’t help but grit his teeth, as Lin Steward was clearly humiliating them. How could they accept it?

However, Yang Chen still agreed simply, even gesturing Zhou Qing to stop talking.

How could Yang Chen not see that Lin Steward was purposely demanding an excessive amount, blatantly humiliating them, and making them pay a high price? But he had his thoughts. For now, even if he got angry, it would be of no use and have no effect at all.

“Where are the Spirit Stones? This young friend here seems to be quite extraordinary, but don’t just talk and do nothing!” Lin Steward sneered.

Yang Chen directly took out a bag of Top-grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag, the number of which had already been accounted for.

He threw it to Lin Steward, who carefully checked the Spirit Stones and found them correct. He immediately grinned and repeatedly said, “The people of Luosheng Gate are really generous. I like doing business with all of you. In that case, come back after half a year, and I’ll take you to challenge the Trial Tower.”

“Half a year later?” Yang Chen’s tone was icy cold: “Lin Steward, what do you mean by that?”

“Sect Leader!” The disciples of Luosheng Gate couldn’t bear it anymore.

This was simply too much bullying.

Yang Chen gently waved his hand, signaling everyone to calm down, and then his gaze locked onto Lin Steward.

Lin Steward stroked his small beard and smiled faintly: “There’s not much to it, young friend. You have to understand. The people in front of you have all paid 2,000 Spirit Stones. I have to arrange them one by one, and by the time I get to you, it’s half a year later. It’s beyond my control, you have to understand, you can’t make it too difficult for me, right?”

“What if I add another 1,000 Spirit Stones?” Yang Chen asked.

“Well, of course, we’ll give priority to this young friend.” Lin Steward immediately smiled. “Whoever pays more Spirit Stones will go first.”

Yang Chen’s mouth curled, and he knew that Lin Steward was just trying to swindle them.

However, he didn’t mind.

He prepared another 1,000 Top-grade Spirit Stones and handed them to Lin Steward.

Seeing that Yang Chen was still readily giving him Spirit Stones, Lin Steward was planning to squeeze more out of him. However, when he saw Yang Chen’s cold eyes, he had a slight pause and withdrew the thought.

“I hope Lin Steward won’t need to raise the price again this time.” Yang Chen’s icy tone spoke while his aura lingered, as if it could lower the temperature drastically.

Lin Steward could see that if he tricked Yang Chen again, he would really provoke his anger.

The arranged price for the Trial Tower was 100 Spirit Stones per entry, and he had already swindled 3,000 Spirit Stones, making a pure profit of 2,900. It was already quite suitable, and there was no need for further greed.

Lin Steward put down the teacup and flattered with a smile, “Oh, come on, young friend, wasn’t that a joke? I’ll arrange it now. You can rest here for a while, and soon you’ll be able to challenge the Trial Tower.”

Having said that, Lin Steward left cheerfully, apparently overjoyed to receive more than 3,000 Top-grade Spirit Stones in one go.

Seeing Lin Steward’s demeanor, the people of Luosheng Gate were so angry that they couldn’t help but fume.

“Sect Leader, we can’t swallow this grievance silently. If he charged us 1,000 Spirit Stones, we would have accepted it. But he’s clearly treating us like pushovers, swindling us of over 3,000 Spirit Stones. We can’t accept this!” Zhou Qing gritted his teeth.

“That’s right, Sect Leader, this Lin guy is simply asking for the sky.”

Yang Chen looked at the emotionally agitated crowd and slowly said, “Do you think I don’t want to fight back? It’s easy to turn against him, but doing so right now is tantamount to turning against the Long Wind Main City. Not to mention whether or not we can afford to offend the Long Wind Main City, behind them is the Huangdao Sect. What can we do? In the end, we will still suffer. I want to challenge the Trial Tower now and can’t afford any more complications!”

“But Sect Leader, these 3,000 Spirit Stones…” Zhou Qing thought of so many Spirit Stones and couldn’t help but feel pain.

Even though the Spirit Stones weren’t from Luosheng Gate but from Yang Chen’s own pocket, he still felt the pinch.

Yang Chen confidently said, “Don’t worry, how do you know that these Spirit Stones now definitely belong to him? Maybe in the next moment, they’ll be back in my pocket?”

“Sect Leader, do you have any other plans?” Zhou Qing was curious.

“No, but we’ll take one step at a time.” Yang Chen didn’t seem worried at all.

As if the departure of the 3,000 Spirit Stones didn’t cause him any impact at all.

So, after waiting for about half a day, Lin Steward, who had a somewhat efficient working style, finally ran back panting. When he ran back, a group of people followed him.

These people were dressed in luxurious clothes and had a condescending look. Yang Chen recognized them immediately when he saw their uniforms.

“People from the Demon Slaying Branch, and there are two familiar faces.” Yang Chen touched his chin and smirked.

He was familiar with the attire worn by the people from the Demon Slaying Branch.

At the moment, Lin Steward was extremely polite to these Demon Slaying Branch members, as if he couldn’t wait to be their grandson.

The Demon Slaying Branch didn’t send any important figures, just some geniuses. The two leading geniuses were those he had defeated back at the Bai Family Main Branch.

These two were Bai Hecheng and Bai Jing!

At that time, the two were selected to represent the Demon Slaying Branch to participate in the Clan Gathering of the Bai Family Main Branch, which obviously meant that they were the top geniuses of the Demon Slaying Branch. Now they were leading many other geniuses from the Demon Slaying Branch to challenge the Trial Tower.

Bai Hecheng spoke arrogantly, “Lin Steward, I heard that to challenge the Trial Tower, we have to pay in Spirit Stones. Rest assured, we Demon Slaying Branch people aren’t stingy. There are seventeen of us to challenge the Trial Tower. Just tell us the specific number.”

“Several young masters, don’t say that. Your visit to our Long Wind Main City is an honor for us. Why would we dare to ask you for Spirit Stones? For the seventeen of you, we won’t charge for it, count it as our courtesy!” Lin Steward spoke with such eloquence, his fox tail started showing.

“This guy…” The people from Luosheng Gate couldn’t help but grind their teeth in anger.

“Oh? Really? Lin Steward, I like your character; I’ll accept you as a friend. Now we want to challenge the Trial Tower, so hurry up and lead the way.” Bai Hecheng said the word “friend”, but his eyes didn’t show the slightest intention of looking at Lin Steward with any respect.

Lin Steward was very happy and said, “Wait a moment, please!”

After that, he came to Yang Chen and the others, coughed twice, retracted his respectful attitude, and changed to an indifferent one: “Follow me. You have to go and challenge the Trial Tower after the Demon Slaying Branch people. It’s just a few more days of waiting anyway.”

“Are you kidding?” The people from Luosheng Gate started shouting.

Yang Chen simply raised his hand to stop them: “No problem, we’re only waiting a few more days. Let’s go.”
