The lady immediately turned pale with terror. âI didnât-â
âThatâs enough, you win. Your bewitching arts are too great. I admit defeat. Not just you, any female cultivators can pass for free. But just a reminder, donât try to dress up as a woman to trick me, or Iâll make sure youâll never be a man again,â warned Long Chen.
This woman actually hadnât used any bewitching arts against him. She didnât dare to. But Long Chen found that he couldnât rob this innocent lady. As for her bewitching arts, it was just an excuse.
The female cultivators were delighted by this news and charged forward.
Some of the women didnât forget to thank Long Chen as they flew off.
âThank you.â Only now did the woman from the Nine Tail Demon Fox race react.
âAlright, you can go. I still have more business to take care of!â
Long Chen didnât say much to her. Although she was beautiful, he already had so many peerless beauties at home.
She looked closely at Long Chen for a moment before leaving. As for Long Chen, he became busy with work again.
âHereâs ten million. Take it!â An ancient race expert tossed a spatial ring to Long Chen.
âHold it. For you, itâs thirty million.â Long Chen suddenly raised Evilmoon and blocked his path.
âBecause didnât you say that you had a lot of money? Since you have so much, you have to pay a bit more. Your words before were quite irritating. My heartâs hurt, so I need some more money to heal it,â said Long Chen.
âYou⌠fine, just wait!â That person clenched his teeth and tossed another spatial ring to Long Chen.
This ancient race expert was the one who had said that he had plenty of money but wasnât giving any to Long Chen. Knowing he had offended Long Chen, he had covered up his face and hidden behind someone at the back, hoping that Long Chen would forget him, but Long Chen had still recognized him.
âMany thanks for your business, boss.â
That personâs malicious gaze made Long Chen smile. Now he understood why the Huayun Sectâs people could always greet others with a smile. They werenât greeting people, they were greeting the money.
âItâs my first time, so please forgive me for my inexperience.â
âIf youâre dissatisfied with anything, please tell me. Iâll definitely improve things next time.â
Even as he accepted money, Long Chenâs mouth didnât stop. His words only further enraged people.
âWow, isnât this the great hero Xiong Tianba? Youâre too big. Your weight will damage the road. You should pay at least thirty times more than others, but since Iâve just opened my business, Iâll give you a discount. Youâll just have to pay fifty million. Please donât try to bargain with me, I really donât make enough money to lower my price,â said Long Chen upon seeing Xiong Tianba.
What surprised him was that Xiong Tianba very happily parted with his money. He didnât say a word as he handed over a spatial ring.
From behind Xiong Tianba came Leng Wufeng. He tossed a spatial ring at Long Chen. âLong Chen, even if youâre getting money now, you wonât be able to spend it.â
Long Chen received it and saw the spirit crystals packed inside. He smiled. âThereâs no need for you to worry about it. I was originally thinking of taking a bit more from you, but I know youâll come find me in the future, so it doesnât matter how much I take today.â
Long Chenâs meaning was that in any case, Leng Wufeng would come to him either way. Once Long Chen killed him, his money would be his, so it didnât matter.
âYouâre right, Long Chen. I definitely will come to find you. But not right now.â Leng Wufeng snorted and left.
Long Chen sneered. Leng Wufeng wanted to search through the secret realm first instead of wasting time here. The other thing was that in order to challenge Long Chen, Leng Wufeng needed to be in his peak condition. Having been scared away by just a clone, his mental state was not perfect right now. For a clash between two experts, the slightest thing could affect the conclusion. But in any case, there were still plenty of people waiting inside the channel to get through. He was near the front and would be reaching the depths of the secret realm earlier.
âLong Chen, donât you think youâre going too far? For a bit of money, youâre offending everyone. Many of us are not your enemy, but youâre forcing us,â said Lu Zichuan.
The Yin Yang Sword Sectâs Lu Zichuan, he was a very powerful existence. However, he was normally very low key. Only a few people had ever seen him personally fight, but the rumors said that even Man Batian had been defeated by him.
Long Chen said, âI trust that the majority of you are my enemies. I donât have the time to differentiate between you, so Iâll only take a bit of money from each of you. If youâre my enemy, taking this money will be right. If youâre not my enemy, Iâll repay this bit of money dozens of times in the future. The entire Martial Heaven Continent knows my character, so stop wasting time. Iâm really lacking money right now.â
Long Chen extended a hand, indicating for the other party to shut up and hand over the money. Everyone was busy.
âAlright then. Since youâve said that, thereâs nothing for me to rebut.â Lu Zichuan tossed out a spatial ring.
Long Chen took it. âThatâs correct. People with no enmity with me can view this as an investment. As long as I donât die, this investment will come with a huge payoff, so thereâs no need to be resentful. As for my enemies, they have even less reason to be resentful. The fact that Iâm not killing them right now is entirely thanks to the few innocent people here. Ten million spirit crystals to survive? Donât you think that itâs worth it? Or do you feel like your lives arenât even worth ten million spirit crystals?â
Putting it like this, Long Chen managed to dispel quite a bit of resentment toward him.
âOther than that, I should tell you that your barrier breaking beads donât have any god energy within them. So if you want to enter the core region, just enter. Youâll know Iâm not conning you because once I finish my business here, Iâll also be entering the core region. If youâre afraid, Iâll be giving a demonstration at the time,â said Long Chen.
âThatâs impossible!â The experts refused to believe this.
âDonât believe his bullsh*t. Heâs just trying to get you in trouble. If you enter the core region and donât follow your promise in the future, youâll be cursed by the gods. Your future would be ruined, so donât fall for it!â shouted one of Pill Valleyâs disciples from the Flame Divine Palace.
Long Chen merely said, âItâs not bullsh*t. You can simply use your own eyes. Alright, time is precious, so letâs increase our efficiency. Everyone, hurry up!â
These experts handed over spirit crystals to him one by one. However, a change had occurred inside them. When comparing Long Chenâs reputation with Pill Valleyâs reputation, which had recently been ruined, they felt that Long Chen would disdain lying to them about this.
Pill Valleyâs true face had been revealed many times now. In fact, just now, to test Long Chen, they had set up an innocent girl. Thinking of Pill Valleyâs nature, they wondered just what was truth and what was lies.
Even before Long Chen had said this, many people had suspected the barrier breaking beadsâ abilities. When they had received the barrier breaking beads, they had only managed to sense some spatial energy fluctuations coming from within, as well as a trace of some foreign energy. They couldnât tell what that energy was, but they didnât think it was god energy. Yet, they also couldnât be sure about such a thing.
âPill Valleyâs disciples now have to pay double. Donât cause a fuss. If you want to enter, then pay up! If not, then scram! Otherwise, die!â said Long Chen frostily, looking at that disciple from the Flame Divine Palace.
âCount yourself vicious!â That disciple almost exploded from rage. This secret realm belonged to Pill Valley, but to enter, he had to pay someone else? What kind of reasoning was this? But this unprecedented event in all of history was occurring to him.
He still paid up. Elder Tianqi had already said to avoid conflict with Long Chen if they could. In their eyes, Long Chen was a trapped bird. It was only a matter of time.
Long Chen spent six hours accepting money. The amount he gained made flowers bloom in his eyes. He had never seen so much money.
There were over a million experts, with female cultivators only taking up a tenth of them. He had too many spirit stones to count, as well as other treasures from people who hadnât had enough spirit crystals to pay. There were medicinal pills, divine items, secret tomes, and all kinds of substitutes.
âThis time, I really got rich. Robbing rich people really is the fastest way of getting rich,â thought Long Chen to himself.
After taking the final personâs money, Long Chen cleared his throat, and toward the channel, he said, âThat old fellow from Pill Valley who thinks himself so smart, many thanks!â
After saying that, not caring whether or not anyone had heard, he patted his butt and left.
