Chapter 49: Extortion

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Heavenly Mystery Unravel.”

Han Zhong carefully examined Divine Dragon Palace’s gate. With the constant change of expression on his face, it was obvious he did not know where to begin with this gate.

After a moment’s wait, Han Zhong realized that many masters behind him had turned impatient. Hence, he swung his arms furiously in wielding a disc before spell after spells were cast over it.

Suddenly, the foot-long disc emitted a radiant glow that had a hint of mystery to it which caused some of the Warrior Kings behind to gasp in admiration.

“Idiot, way to put on a show.”

Li Lingtian smirked at the sight of Han Zhong dabbling about the disc. Only he knew the way to open the gate. Others were delusional to think they could open it.

“What did you say?”

At the sound of Li Lingtian’s voice, numerous Warriors turned their gaze to him. They were about to blow their top but held it in when they noticed that it was Li Lingtian.

“I said he can’t open this gate. He’s merely trying to find himself an out.”

Li Lingtian answered in a flat tone while his gaze drifted upwards. The demonic energy’s repression was thinning in the atmosphere. By the looks of it, the trip to Hidden Dragon Isle would be in vain if the gate could not be opened.

“Wham.”

“Poof.”

As soon as Li Lingtian said that, the disc in Han Zong’s hands fired a radiance towards the gate. Then at the sound of an explosion, the gate was enveloped in a giant light barrier that repelled the disc’s radiance.

Han Zhong was physically blown away by the repelling force. It tossed him a hundred yards away before he collapsed onto the ground like a dead pig. By the sheer stillness, it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

“Isn’t there anyone who can open the gate? Our efforts will be in vain if we can’t enter Divine Dragon Palace in ten minutes,” Li Lingtian shouted with his eyes fixed on Han Zhong afar.

Li Lingtian was not going to give it in just yet. Even if he knew the way in, he was not going to let these guys have it the easy way.

“What did you say?”

“In vain?”

“Isn’t Divine Dragon Palace here?”

Puzzled, the few Warrior King stared at Li Lingtian. Although Li Lingtian was only a Warrior Spirit disciple, no one dared to treat him like one.

“Are you blind? Can’t you sense the weakening of demonic energy’s repression? This means that Divine Dragon Palace is about to disappear,” Li Lingtian answered with disdain as he pointed towards the sky.

Compared to the beginning, the current repression had declined by a whole lot. After listening to Li Lingtian’s statement, the Warriors who had retreated three miles away were instantly intrigued.

Although this meant that they would now be able to withstand the repression that was on a decline, they were held back by the sight of the Warrior Kings and first-rate masters.

“Is there anyone else who can open this gate?

“Otherwise, we just went on a wild goose chase.”

Anxious, Tian Wuji and Xiong Hao both cried out. Since they were both Warrior Kings, they could sense the change in the atmosphere.

They had waited for a long time yet no one spoke up. This was because no one dared to volunteer after Han Zhong, the Formation Master was thrown back by the impact.

“Garbage, a bunch of garbage.

“I’ll do it then.”

Grinning inside, Li Lingtian took large strides forward and stopped ten yards in front of Divine Dragon Palace. He stood erected on a Spiritual Equipment. “You can open this gate?

“Well, hurry up then.”

Tian Wuji and Xiong Hao were dumbfounded to see Li Lingtian come forth. Sure, Li Lingtian had skills but it was a different story in dealing with the gate.

“Hehe, I can open this gate, but…”

Li Lingtian chuckled at the three hundred-odd Warriors, and his eyes revealed slight mischief.

“But what?”

“Get straight to the point.”

“After opening this gate, you’ll be the first to enter.”

They lost their patience at Li Lingtian’s conditions. However, it was not the time to get on Li Lingtian’s bad side. Putting his ability aside, only Li Lingtian was the only one who came forth when no one volunteered to open the gate.

“I can open this gate for you but those who wish to enter Divine Dragon Palace are required to pay a hundred thousand spiritual stones or else I won’t bother wasting my breath.”

Li Lingtian may be speaking in an indifferent tone but the words coming from his mouth left countless Warriors gobsmacked.

“F*ck that, it’s daylight robbery.”

“A hundred thousand spiritual stones, do you think spiritual stones are plain rocks?”

“You have gone mad thinking about spiritual stones!”

“A hundred thousand spiritual stones. That’s enough to buy out every premium Spiritual Equipment.”

For a moment, many gasped in exclamation. A hundred thousand spiritual stones were the annual income of a small scale sect. An inner sect disciple of Sky Cloud Sect only received a hundred spiritual stones on a monthly basis.

Even for an inner sect disciple, a hundred thousand spiritual stones required the accumulation of a hundred years without deduction on food and other usages.

Nevertheless, those present on site were Geniuses of the Eastern Spirit Greenland’s super-sects and clans. Hence, they were never short of spiritual stones. Li Lingtian owed it to himself to take the chance in extorting them.

“Junior Brother Li has lost his mind.”

“He’s too cool. He must be the first to charge everyone spiritual stones.”

“A hundred thousand spiritual stones. There are over three hundred of us here. Our Misty Pavilion doesn’t possess that much even in a year.”

Many disciples from Sky Dragon Empire were surprised and stunned. A Tier Five Warrior Spirit was extorting countless masters for spiritual stones. He sure had the guts.

“You have ten seconds to think it over. Hl leave once the ten seconds are up and

I won’t be opening the gate then.”

Li Lingtian maintained an indifferent attitude, unconcerned of the dirty looks he was receiving from these super masters. Based on his twenty-first century wisdom and understanding of human behavior, he was able to grasp the mentality of these Super Geniuses.

“Fine, a hundred thousand, I’ll give it to you.”

“A hundred thousand. I’m not short of spiritual stones, consider it a reward.”

“My Tian Jin Empire has plenty of spiritual stones. I’ll give you a hundred thousand.”

“My Northern Dusk Empire is never lacking in spiritual stones.”

“C’mon, hand over the spiritual stones if you want to enter. I’ll kill anyone who is holding us back.”

Speechless, Xiong Hao shot a menacing look at Li Lingtian. He was the first to take a stand and tossed a hundred thousand spiritual stones to Li Lingtian. The rest of the Warriors then followed suit, forking out their spiritual stones reluctantly.

Since the super-sects, mysterious clans, and Imperial prince were loaded, they could easily afford a hundred thousand spiritual stones. Moreover, anyone who entered Hidden Dragon Isle was familiar with slaughtering others for their goods.

“Take your time, one by one. I’m not in a hurry.”

Ignoring these guys who were missing out yet still tried to keep up appearances, Li Lingtian retrieved the large number of spiritual stones and kept them in his storage sack. In the distance, Liu Yiyi’s group remained appalled. It had never crossed their minds that a disciple of Sky Dragon Empire would make a fool out of these arrogant super masters.

“Humph, I’ve given you the spiritual stones now so if you can’t open this gate, I’ll be the first to kill you. You must be the one who killed my Divine Sword Sect’s Su Tian. Watch your back,” Yan Ming responded coldly.

He was incredibly surprised to find Su Tian dead, but he immediately connected the dots when he saw Li Lingtian unleashed the domineering sword technique. It was the doing of this young man.

“Not bad, you’re all rich. I’ve never seen this many spiritual stones, hehe.”

Li Lingtian looked at the dozen storage sacks in front of him that were all filled to the brim with spiritual stones. Over thirty-six million spiritual stones — he would not gain as much even in Sky Cloud Sect in a year.

“Ten seconds? A hundred seconds had passed. Are you playing us a fool?”

Li Lingtian’s laid back demeanor struck a thought in the few Warrior Kings. Li Lingtian mentioned from the start that the gate would not be opened after ten seconds yet over a hundred seconds had passed. Did he just toy with them?

“I mean it when I said I can open it, but…”

Li Lingtian planned it out in his mind. He should make a run for it if he failed to open the gate later. Otherwise, he would be dead meat in the face of all these super masters..
