I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

Ning Ruan had not yet spoken.

The Shadow Clan cultivator, almost one with the darkness, had already spoken:

"If you're worried that I won't be able to bring myself to harm my own kind, then you can rest assured."

"If I really couldn't bring myself to do it, I wouldn't have become the Boundless Bandit."

"As long as you can afford the payment."

One of the Twin Star Clan cultivators quickly followed up, asking, "What is your reward?"

Another person added, "We need to reach an agreement first before we can discuss cooperation."

The Lingsha Clan cultivator stared at Ning Ruan, his voice deep and resonant, and asked, "You have a celestial artifact?"

It appears to be an inquiry.

But when the words came out, they were spoken with certainty.

Ning Ruan looked up. It was still dark, yet she could almost see the other person with her own eyes. Her clear eyes sparkled. "Yes, Senior wants some?"

"Heh, who wouldn't want a celestial artifact?" the Spirit Sand Clan cultivator chuckled. "If I want it, will you give it to me?"

"No." Ning Ruan replied without hesitation.

Spirit Sand Clan cultivator: "..."

At this moment, the leader of the Blood Bat Clan spoke up: "Senior Chenyin, we have already stated that apart from the Shadow Clan senior obtaining that semi-immortal artifact sword, everyone else will only take a reward of equal value."

"What if I change my mind?" The Lingsha Clan cultivator was still looking at Ning Ruan. "I have never owned a celestial artifact in my life, but now I want one too."

"Senior, you've never died in your life, do you want to die now?"

Ning Ruan held the painting in her hand, her tone very calm.

If you ignore the content of her words, it sounds almost like asking 'Have you eaten?'

Spirit Sand Clan cultivator: "..."

After a long silence, he said in a deep voice, "Wang Xuan died because of these paintings of yours?"

Ning Ruan nodded, "Yes."

A Lingsha Clan cultivator said, "Wang Xuan is reckless and impulsive; killing him would not be difficult."

Ning Ruan: "Oh, so you want to give it a try, senior?"

Spirit Sand Clan cultivator: "..."

Don't want to.

Although I'd like to take a gamble.

But when he actually saw Ning Ruan brazenly pull out the painting, he wanted to back out.

"The immortal artifact shouldn't be with you anymore, right?"

"What do you think, senior?"

"..."

The Lingsha Clan cultivators simply wanted to find a way to back down.

But to his surprise, before he could even get off the stairs, Ning Ruan flipped them up.

He really is as arrogant as the rumors suggest.

No wonder they dared to kill even Wang Xuan without hesitation.

"Besides a celestial artifact, what other reward can you offer?"

Not wanting to compete with such a reckless person any longer, the Lingsha Clan cultivator compromised.

However, his tone was still very stiff.

Ning Ruan held the painting in her hand, her fingertips caressing the scroll. "I will pay you, but since this is a collaboration, I also need to know whether the seniors can really kill the King of Beijing Film Academy."

She said, "You even avoid the Grand Master of the Imperial Clan. How can I believe that you dare to kill the King of Northern Shadows, and that you can actually kill him?"

Two cultivators from the Twin Star Clan spoke one after the other:

"We avoided the ten major races because they are troublesome. Even the Grand Master of the Xuan Shui Clan is no match for us in a one-on-one fight."

"Of course we are no match for the King of Beijing Film Academy, but we have a backup plan for this trip. If we cooperate properly, we are not without a chance of success."

The Shadow Clan cultivator also said in a deep voice, "If we weren't confident, we wouldn't have come."

The Lingsha Clan cultivator also sneered, "I'm not afraid to tell you, that old bastard Beiying Wang is injured. If we want to kill him, we really can only do so now when we have a slim chance."

"Moreover, this opportunity only comes once. If we fail once, let alone whether we can escape, even if we do escape, we will face that old man's endless pursuit."

"Actually, you were right to kill him. That old man is too vengeful. You killed Wang Xuan, so he will never let you go. It's only a matter of time before he seeks revenge."

"I've shown you my sincerity, but where is your sincerity in return?"

Ningruan's sincerity was certainly already prepared.

He immediately took out three storage rings without taking any precautions.

They then allowed the three cultivators from the Twin Star Clan and the Spirit Sand Clan to examine them.

Actually, you don't need to check much.

However, a quick scan with his divine sense revealed the truth.

At the same time, Ning Ruan also took out the spirit sword that was a semi-divine artifact.

He handed it directly to the Shadow Clan cultivator who blended into the darkness.

The other party was stunned for a moment.

I didn't expect her to be so decisive.

But he quickly accepted it, his expression solemn.

The three cultivators who checked the storage ring were very quick.

In just a moment, they already knew what was inside.

Even the Lingsha Clan cultivators who had previously clamored for immortal artifacts could not utter a single insincere word at this moment.

"...The reward is sufficient." The Lingsha Clan cultivator looked at Ning Ruan with a deep gaze. "But this trip is dangerous, and we can't work for free. You need to pay a deposit first, regardless of whether the matter can be accomplished."

"sure."

The Lingsha Clan cultivator was about to say something more when he heard the girl's immediate agreement.

Without the slightest hesitation.

It was so fast it felt unreal to him: "Aren't you afraid we'll take the deposit and run away with it?"

"Don't be afraid," Ning Ruan said. "You can't escape."

In the darkness, the girl's eyes were calm. "Even if you run away, I can find someone else to kill you."

"I think killing you seniors would be easier than killing the King of Beijing Film Studio."

"Of course, I don't want it to come to this, because if it does, I'll have to find someone else, which is very troublesome."

The four powerful figures: "..."

The leader of the blood bat tribe: "..."

The nine-tailed female cultivator tried her best to minimize her presence.

But I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Ningruan is simply a devil.

Is it appropriate to say such things to someone's face?

The Lingsha Clan cultivator's expression changed several times. "You're really not afraid that we'll turn on you and attack right now?"

Ning Ruan honestly replied, "I'm very brave."

"..." You're so bold, why don't you put down the painting you're holding!

The Lingsha Clan cultivators were speechless for a moment.

Of course I'm angry.

In terms of strength, even Wang Xuan is no match for them.

Ning Ruan, on the other hand, was merely a ninth-realm cultivator.

The difference in strength is like an insurmountable chasm.

But when it comes to confidence, they seem to have the upper hand over them.

How could one not feel frustrated?

It's frustrating, but I can only continue to suffer in silence.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Then that's settled. We'll make up the deposit first, and the rest will be paid once the matter is successful."

"What will you say if you don't give us the rest?"

Ning Ruan readily distributed a portion of the deposit to the three powerful figures in front of her, saying, "As long as you seniors cooperate well, things will be successful. Once successful, I will naturally keep my promise."

"Moreover, I will be going on this trip with my seniors."

"At that time, it might be possible not to kill them. Of course, if I decide not to kill them at the last minute, the reward will remain the same. What is rightfully theirs will not be less than what is due to them."

"Not kill?" the Twin Star Clan cultivators exclaimed in unison. "What does that mean?"

“The seniors can proceed with the plan to kill as intended, it doesn’t matter,” Ning Ruan said. “It seems that the killing is indeed the plan now.”

If he really holds a grudge.

Then we really need a knife.

Although they may all be facing the same, more powerful enemy, it's not good to be too vengeful.

They are vulnerable to being betrayed.

Although I don't understand why Ning Ruan has the intention not to kill him.

But if it's possible to avoid killing without affecting the payment, everyone would naturally be more happy to see it happen.

of course.

Apart from that Shadow Clan cultivator who was also carrying a semi-divine artifact.

It's true that I want a semi-divine artifact.

It's true that he wanted to kill the Beijing Film Academy's Wang.

But if he had to choose between the two, he thought that the semi-divine artifact would naturally be more important.

"I don't need a deposit, just give it to me after the deal is done."

As he spoke, he reluctantly handed the semi-divine artifact back.

Ning Ruan didn't take it, saying, "You keep it."

Shadow Clan cultivator: "..."

He hesitated for only a moment before quickly retracting the spirit sword.

It's clear that she really likes it.
