"Five hundred million per person?!"
At this moment, Elder Zhufu was about to go mad, but seeing the strand of sword energy from Li Xuan, he managed to suppress his anger.
"I'll pay! But please, sir, give me a moment. I... I don't have enough on me," Elder Zhufu said, his old face blushing.
Li Xuan narrowed his eyes and nodded, then played with the sword energy in his hand. "I'll give you three minutes. After three minutes, I can't guarantee their safety anymore."
"Alright," Elder Zhufu's eyelids twitched. His direct descendants were still here, so he said no more and instantly vanished into the void.
"Brother Xuanye, you can take the spirit stones from inside and divide them," Li Xuan said, looking at Xuanye and the others. As he spoke, he tossed a spatial ring to Xuanye.
Xuanye was stunned. Five hundred million high-grade spirit stones, even if divided among everyone present, would be a significant amount. What touched Xuanye and the others the most was that Li Xuan was so casually giving them five hundred million high-grade spirit stones.
"Thank you," Xuanye said, taking the spatial ring and nodding slightly. They naturally needed spirit stones for their cultivation. Moreover, judging by Li Xuan's demeanor, he clearly didn't regard these five hundred million high-grade spirit stones as anything significant, so Xuanye didn't refuse.
Soon.
Elder Zhufu reappeared.
But to Li Xuan's surprise, an elder was following behind Elder Zhufu. Clearly, this elder should be the ancestor of the Candle Dragon Clan.
"Peak of the Qiankun Realm. I didn't expect your Cangmang Continent to produce someone like you," the elder said, looking at Li Xuan. He instantly assessed Li Xuan's strength.
"Are you here to deliver spirit stones?" Li Xuan asked, looking at Elder Zhufu, then shifting his gaze to the elder.
"You want the spirit stones of my Candle Li Tian? I'd very much like to know if you have the strength," Candle Li Tian said solemnly, looking at Li Xuan. Elder Zhufu wanted to speak but stopped himself, remembering Candle Li Tian's status and remaining silent.
Li Xuan looked at Elder Zhufu speechlessly. This guy hadn't learned his lesson.
Elder Zhufu: "..."
"I can't beat you," Li Xuan said with a serious expression.
Candle Li Tian looked at Li Xuan with some surprise. "You do have some discernment. However, you killed my Candle Dragon Clan's heir, and this matter cannot be dropped just like that. Today, I will let the world see the consequences of offending my Candle Dragon Clan!"
Li Xuan immediately waved his hand. "Stop, stop, stop. I really can't beat you, but I still want to try."
Candle Li Tian was taken aback. Was this young man out of his mind?
Li Xuan finished speaking without even looking at Candle Li Tian, then shifted his gaze to the cloud ship in the sky. "Sister Xuan, help me out, will you?"
"You, why aren't you using that strand of sword energy?" As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, Luo Xuan's figure walked down from the cloud ship.
Everyone present was stunned. They had never noticed anyone else on the cloud ship. Even Elder Zhufu and Candle Li Tian were dumbfounded because they also hadn't sensed anyone on the cloud ship!
Candle Li Tian's expression instantly became solemn. He couldn't sense the aura of the woman in front of him. Even though Luo Xuan was standing right in front of him, she was like air, completely imperceptible!
This was a powerful being!
Candle Li Tian immediately realized that this young woman's strength was even greater than his!
Li Xuan smiled and said, "If I used it, wouldn't I have one less? After all, I only have four strands of that sword energy left."
Elder Zhufu's eyelids twitched upon hearing this. Li Xuan still had four strands of that terrifying sword energy!
"Are you in the Heavenly Mystery Realm?" Candle Li Tian asked Luo Xuan, his expression grave.
Candle Li Tian had already stepped halfway into the Heavenly Mystery Realm but couldn't sense any fluctuations in Luo Xuan's aura. In an instant, Candle Li Tian guessed that Luo Xuan's strength should be in the Heavenly Mystery Realm. Thinking that Li Xuan had a Heavenly Mystery Realm expert on his side, Candle Li Tian was filled with regret.
"Heavenly Mystery Realm? That was years ago," Luo Xuan said, shaking her head slightly.
Candle Li Tian was petrified. Years ago? Doesn't that mean she's already far beyond the Heavenly Mystery Realm now!
"Esteemed lady, actually, I am also here to deliver spirit stones. You see, they are already prepared," Candle Li Tian said, holding out a spatial ring with both hands, his face full of apprehension.
Xuanye and the others: "..."
Elder Zhufu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Had the ancestor chickened out? But Elder Zhufu dared not speak, as he had already been scared out of his wits long ago.
"I say, old man, you're quite spineless," Li Xuan said, also surprised. Candle Li Tian was quite adaptable.
"Brother Xuan, with him acting like this, should I still make a move?" Luo Xuan asked Li Xuan helplessly.
Li Xuan scratched his head and then looked at Candle Li Tian. "Do you want to give it a try?"
Candle Li Tian shook his head like a rattle. "Please don't toy with me, sir. I was just admiring your peerless heroic spirit earlier."
Li Xuan shook his head speechlessly. Candle Li Tian was truly determined to shed all pretense of dignity.
"Never mind. Seeing your sincerity in delivering them personally, I'll accept these spirit stones." Li Xuan instantly appeared in front of Candle Li Tian and took the spatial ring from his hands.
"Take them and leave," Li Xuan said, waving his hand.
"Thank you, sir," Candle Li Tian said quickly, cupping his fists. Then, with a wave of his hand, he swept up Zhu Xi, the elder, and Elder Zhufu, and they vanished from the spot.
"Sister Xuan, amazing!" Li Xuan smiled and gave Luo Xuan a thumbs-up.
Luo Xuan forced a bitter smile. "I haven't even made a move yet."
Li Xuan smiled. "That's precisely why you're amazing, Sister Xuan."
"You fellow, you're quite flashy. What, are you planning to continue talking with me in front of all these people?" Luo Xuan said with a smile, shaking her head and pointing at the people below.
Li Xuan was taken aback, then took Luo Xuan's hand. "Let's go, Sister Xuan, I'll introduce you."
Soon, after Li Xuan's introductions, Xuanye and the others also got to know Luo Xuan. Of course, everyone bowed respectfully when Luo Xuan walked up to them. Although Luo Xuan looked harmless, it was precisely such a woman who had scared away the ancestor of the Candle Dragon Clan.
"Brother Xuanye, everyone, I'll be heading back to the Southern Region first. After I'm done with my business, I'll come find you all," Li Xuan said to Xuanye after the introductions.
"Alright, we'll be waiting," Xuanye and the others nodded.
"Sister Xuan, Fuyao, let's go," Li Xuan said, nodding and looking at Luo Xuan and Yue Fuyao, Jian Chi, and the others.
"We'll go too," Zhou Wenjing said, looking at Liu Jiaqi, then taking her hand and walking up.
Li Xuan smiled and nodded. "It's been a while, so we should naturally go together."
Soon, the group boarded the cloud ship and quickly disappeared from Xuanye and the others' sight.
"It's good. I didn't expect young friend Li Xuan to arrive at this time. However, I'm curious, what level has Senior Luo Xuan's strength reached?" Zi Ruilai said with curiosity.
Xuanye gave a wry smile. "That's beyond our speculation. We'd best not discuss it."
After speaking, Xuanye looked at the two Holy Land Masters and continued, "Let's divide these spirit stones first."
