Chapter 337: A Great Harvest! Newly Listed Special Offers!
Seeing Bai Sha’s gloomy face, Yu Hongyin sneered, “Do you think I don’t know what you’re up to? You should be grateful that you only lost one Kodo City.”
“If something really happens to Shengzi Su, the fate of the Tiger Clan will be a lesson for you!”
“Do you think your little tricks can deceive Yun Qiluo and Feng Chaoge?” Bai Sha’s expression froze upon hearing this, and he lowered his head in silence.
He was indeed a bit naive.
Given Su Shi’s status, how could he venture into dangerous territory alone?
He thought no one would notice, but someone had been secretly watching him all along.
“My words end here. Take care of yourself.”
Yu Hongyin waved her hand, and a portal emitting white light opened out of thin air.
Everyone followed her into the portal.
The portal closed, leaving only the Eagle Clan members present.
The atmosphere became deathly silent.
The elders looked bewildered, unable to process what had happened.
“Father, the Fox Clan’s ancestor is just trying to scare us, right?”
“We are the aristocrats of the Barbarian Realm. Why should we hand over Kodo City?” Bai Zhi forced a smile.
He still harbored some illusions, unable to accept this reality.
Bai Sha glanced at him with eyes full of disgust.
“Useless waste.”
“Pass my order: effective immediately, cancel Bai Zhi’s status as heir and exile him to the Great Wasteland. Without my order, he is not allowed to return!”
“Yes!”
The elders responded.
“Father?!”
Bai Zhi looked terrified and struggled to say, “Father, what do you mean by this? I am your biological son!”
Stripping him of his status as heir was one thing, but exiling him to the Great Wasteland? That was the most desolate place on the border of the Barbarian Realm, with nothing but endless yellow sand and countless fierce beasts!
This order was tantamount to a death sentence!
“The Eagle Clan has suffered a great loss, and someone must take responsibility.”
“Someone, take him away.”
Bai Sha waved his hand.
Two stewards stepped forward and helped Bai Zhi up.
Bai Zhi’s whole body went limp, his face ashen.
The elders had different expressions.
It seemed Bai Zhi had become a discarded pawn.
Given what happened, Bai Sha, as the clan leader, had to give an explanation to the clan. Since Bai Sha caused this, it was only natural for him to take the blame, and as for the heir…
Forget it. The Eagle Clan didn’t lack direct descendants. Replacing one would only waste some time and resources.
“We came for an opportunity, but ended up losing both the wealth and the soldiers!”
“Not only did we lose Kodo City, but we also offended Su Shi and the Fox Clan…” Bai Sha’s face was extremely ugly.
Today was truly a disaster!
Green Hill Plains.
The vast wilderness stretched endlessly, with the blue sky above featuring a sun and a moon shining together.
Su Shi asked, “From the Beast Arena to the Black Absolute Death Ground… was everything arranged by you?”
On the grass, Su Shi and Yu Hongyin sat on the ground.
Su Shi looked at her with a somewhat strange expression.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Yu Hongyin frowned.
“What happened this time shouldn’t be just a coincidence, right?”
From obtaining the fragment of the ancient bell to the appearance of the opportunity, and then the mysterious black tower in the Black Absolute Death Ground—everything was too neatly arranged.
Although I have luck on my side, it can’t be this outrageous.
Su Shi absolutely didn’t believe that no one was pulling the strings behind the scenes.
“Ahem, I can’t say it was entirely my arrangement. I just gave a little push at the critical moments,” Yu Hongyin cleared her throat and said.
Su Shi understood.
As expected.
No wonder despite causing such a commotion in the Black Absolute Death Ground, only a relatively weak tribulation-crossing beast appeared, and no other significant beasts showed up.
It seemed Yu Hongyin had a hand in it.
“Wait.”
Su Shi rubbed his chin and said, “So, since I arrived in the Barbarian Realm, you’ve been secretly spying on me?”
“Spying? That’s such a harsh word… I was merely observing in secret!” Yu Hongyin said, her neck stiffening.
But her voice lacked confidence. She did have the intention of protecting Su Shi, but she also saw some things she shouldn’t have.
Like Su Shi being all lovey-dovey with Yu Ren’er…
The atmosphere fell into silence.
Yu Hongyin picked up her tea cup to hide her embarrassment. Su Shi didn’t seem particularly bothered by this.
After all, Yu Hongyin had indeed helped him a lot.
“By the way, Ren’er said you taught her many techniques, and they were quite effective.”
“Poof!” Yu Hongyin spat out her tea.
“Techniques?!”
“Let me be clear, I didn’t teach her anything; she learned it all by herself!” Yu Hongyin’s face turned slightly red, and her tone was a bit flustered.
Despite her long years, she was still stuck at the theoretical stage in some matters.
She had only given Yu Ren’er some storybooks.
“You’re saying Ren’er self-taught her life essence skills?”
“I didn’t realize she had such talent…”
Su Shi muttered to himself.
“Life essence skills?”
Yu Hongyin was stunned, then realized she had misunderstood.
They weren’t talking about the same kind of “techniques” at all.
Her face turned even redder.
“So, what exactly is that black tower? Why did you secretly guide me there?” Su Shi asked, not noticing her embarrassment.
Yu Hongyin collected herself and said, “There are too many causes and effects involved. I can’t tell you everything yet. You just need to know that this matter is entirely beneficial for you.”
Su Shi was silent for a moment, then tentatively asked, “Is it related to Daoist Master Zhaixin?”
The fragment of the ancient bell was left by Zhaixin, and it was connected to the Nine Nether Bell in the black tower. There must be some connection to Zhaixin.
“The Eagle Clan has received their due punishment. Bai Zhi can no longer remain in the Barbarian Realm.”
“When the time is right, you will naturally know,” Yu Hongyin said ambiguously.
Su Shi shook his head.
I really hate people who speak in riddles.
But since the other party didn’t want to say more, there was nothing he could do.
“As for the matter with the Eagle Clan…”
“As for the Eagle Clan’s share in Kodo City, it will be divided among several major tribes. I will give the Fox Clan’s portion to you as an apology for what you went through,” Yu Hongyin said.
Su Shi was taken aback.
He didn’t expect her to be so generous.
He had personally witnessed the prosperity of Kodo City. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it the trade hub of various tribes.
Just one beast arena alone brought in such substantial profits, and that was just one of the many industries in Kodo City.
Even if the Eagle Clan’s share was divided into several parts, it was still an astronomical figure.
“You know, I’m not the kind of person who likes to take advantage…”
“Alright, stop pretending. Didn’t you say, ‘Anyone who doesn’t take advantage is a fool’?”
“You even know about that?” Su Shi touched his nose.
Yu Hongyin found it amusing and said, “I will find someone to manage the Eagle Clan’s industries. When the accounts are settled each year, aside from necessary expenses, the rest will be sent to the Barbarian Realm. Just remember to come and get it.”
“The ancestor is truly generous. In that case, I won’t hold a grudge about the spying.”
“…I said it was secret observation!”
“Also, there’s no need to let Yun Qiluo know about the small frictions that happened before, right?” Yu Hongyin said casually.
She didn’t want to provoke that witch.
This was also why the Deer Ancestor came forward to make a statement.
“I understand, hush money.”
Su Shi smiled.
It feels great to have someone powerful backing you up!
In the room.
Su Shi sat cross-legged, running his cultivation technique, and the star map inside him slowly turned.
A faint sense of the Dao surrounded him, and a purple light flickered faintly between his slightly closed eyes.
After completing a cycle of the cultivation technique, Su Shi opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
He opened the system interface:
[Host: Violet Emperor Star · Son of Destiny Killer · Su Shi]
[State: Full of vitality, mentally refreshed]
[Talent: Holy-grade perfect]
[Realm: Mid-stage Nascent Soul]
[Cultivation Method: The Great Harmony of the Nine Revolution Elements of Heaven and Earth (Second Revolution), Heavenly Sutra (Perfect), Heavenly Manifestations (Perfect)]
This trip to the Savage Realm was highly rewarding.
In addition to obtaining a large number of spirit stones, his realm also broke through to the mid-stage Nascent Soul, and his plot points reached 450.
Su Shi was ready to browse the shop.
If there were suitable items, he would spend some points; otherwise, he would exchange for Pure Source Fire to continue enhancing his different flames.
Opening the system shop, he saw a dazzling array of items.
Among the top items were several recommended ones:
[Divine Power: Sun and Moon Without Light, Price: 200 Plot Points]
[Treasure: Soul Capturing Sword, Price: 230 Plot Points]
[Treasure: Hun Tian Umbrella, Price: 300 Plot Points]
[Technique:]
These were the best value-for-money items he could currently buy.
But Su Shi wasn’t interested in these.
What he lacked the least were divine powers and treasures. Although they were rare and valuable, they didn’t significantly enhance his strength.
At that moment, a glowing item caught his attention.
[Rare Item: Heart of the Sinful Dragon (Special Offer)]
[Price: 400 Plot Points]
“400 points?”
Su Shi was stunned.
Even on sale, it’s this expensive?
As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and Su Shi immediately became interested in this item.
