Shen Yuan Ring

Chapter 221 Unexpected Gain, Negotiation

Early the next morning,

The Thousand-Faced Gentleman took Ji Daoyi out of Dan City, and then found a dilapidated temple and abandoned Ji Daoyi in a corner.

Then they surrounded him with stones and covered the pile with weeds.

The Thousand-Faced Gentleman looked around at the desolate environment, which was deserted and utterly barren.

He dusted off his hands and said with satisfaction, "That's perfect. Besides, this is the dead end of the world, so nobody should come here."

"Even if someone came, it wouldn't be such a coincidence that they saved the kid! I'll be back in about half a day. Kid, you just stay here obediently."

"wait me back!"

The Thousand-Faced Gentleman vanished from his spot in a flash!

However, before leaving, he cast another magic array, completely covering the pile of stones where Ji Daoyi was. If someone who was not proficient in arrays got close, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to notice anything amiss.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the dry branches creaked as they rubbed together, adding to the desolate atmosphere.

Not long after the Thousand-Faced Gentleman left, a plump figure wearing tattered straw sandals approached the dilapidated temple where Ji Daoyi was.

That's right, this person was indeed the fat Taoist Wu De, who was guided by his grandfather Wu Que and rushed to the Pill Hall without stopping after leaving the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

In order to reach Dancheng as soon as possible and find Ji Daoyi, they traveled continuously, and the beasts they rode were exhausted to death!

"Luckily, I know this shortcut to Dancheng. If I remember correctly, there's a dilapidated temple up ahead where we can rest for a while!"

Today, I, Fatty, am really, really happy.

……

Oh, my boy! Oh, my boy!

Wu De hummed a song as he walked.

Perhaps because it was so unpleasant to hear, the rustling sound of the bare branches in the breeze became even stronger, as if in protest!

He wanted to cover up Wu De's sharp and piercing voice, but he was oblivious to his own limitations and completely immersed in his own world.

Today, I, Fatty, am really, really happy.

All good fortune is gathered around me.

Wealth and beautiful women, I want them all!

Oh, my boy! Oh, my boy!

"Huh, why are there traces of array fluctuations here? This desolate place, could it be that heaven is truly favoring me, the chosen one, and good fortune is upon me!"

"Haha, baby, wealth, Fatty is here!"

As soon as Wu De approached the dilapidated temple, he sensed a faint array-like aura.

An ordinary person might not be able to detect the concealment array set up by the Thousand-Faced Gentleman.

However, for Wu De, breaking through it was just a matter of minutes.

Setting up such a concealment formation in this desolate place is like trying to hide something obvious.

Without even thinking about it, it's definitely to hide something!

If the Thousand-Faced Gentleman knew that his prized formation had been so easily discovered by a novice in the Nascent Soul Realm, he would probably slap himself immediately.

Why would someone set up a concealment formation in such a godforsaken place?

Isn't this telling others that something is being hidden here?

Wu De doesn't care who set up the formation; if there's a treasure, he'll take it no matter what!

Wu De glanced at it a few times and found that the concealment formation was of a very high level. Even if an ordinary person discovered it, it would be difficult to break through it and obtain what was inside.

This is not only a concealment formation, but also a defensive isolation formation.

"How can this stop me!"

He took out an array plate from his storage bag. He had used this array plate once before in the ruins.

A beam of light shot out from the array plate, enveloping Wu De, who then swaggered through the array set up by the Thousand-Faced Gentleman.

"Wow, they even covered it with hay. It looks like they just did it today. Did they just bury the person there?"

Wu De rubbed his little hands together excitedly, his eyes full of excitement.

"I really am the chosen one, all the good things happen to me, hahaha!"

Wu De quickly cleared away the haystack, and when he saw another layer of stones, his lips twitched, but it was no challenge for him.

He soon discovered something that looked like a sack.

"Holy crap, this burlap sack is a treasure!"

"Good stuff!"

Wu De then picked up the sack, walked out of the magic circle, and just as he was about to leave, his little eyes darted around and he went back.

Fifteen minutes later, he was satisfied and sped off towards Dancheng with the sack in his arms!

The man with a thousand faces had no idea that the moment he left, someone robbed his house and left him with something valuable!

The meeting place between the Thousand-Faced Gentleman and the Lotus Sect Elder Demon.

Not long after the Thousand-Faced Gentleman arrived, the demons also appeared.

"My Thousand-Faced Gentleman, where is the one I've been asking for?"

Chimei thought that the Thousand-Faced Gentleman was contacting her to ask her to come and take the person away, but she didn't expect that only he showed up!

"Don't rush, you demon. I've already caught the person, but the price needs to be raised. The previous price was too low!"

The Thousand-Faced Gentleman scanned the demons and monsters without any attempt to hide his gaze.

Chimei was somewhat displeased that Qianmian would try to negotiate with her at this time. "I want to know why? You need to know that we had an agreement before. It's not right for you to suddenly change your mind!"

"The risk was too great. You didn't even mention that this person was the grand-disciple of the Dan Hall Master! You know, it took me a lot of effort to capture him."

"Besides, the risks I'm taking are too great! If those people from the Pill Hall find out I kidnapped one of their people, I'll be a rat in the street, someone everyone wants to kill. So the price we discussed earlier needs to be raised!"

Upon hearing this, the demon's face turned ashen, and its veins bulged, resembling a volcano ready to erupt at any moment.

The Thousand-Faced Gentleman admired the enraged demon, his smile unwavering, showing no concern that she might disagree.

The demon kept weighing the options in its mind, and its body trembled involuntarily at the thought of the Holy Lord's cold gaze when he was angry.

She bit her lip and said in a low voice, "How much do you want?"

"Three times the previous price!"

"impossible!"

The Thousand-Faced Gentleman smiled wickedly upon hearing this, "Of course, if Elder Chimei can stay with me for a month, I won't raise the price!"

"presumptuous!"

The demon's energy erupted, swirling around her, before she struck the Thousand Faces in front of her with a palm.

The Thousand Faces technique was merely a matter of shifting forms, allowing the demons to escape their sudden attack.

He wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, he found Chi Mei's fiery personality irresistible and wanted to test her limits.

"Demon, let's talk this out, don't resort to violence. Don't forget, the person you want is in my hands. If you don't want him, then go ahead and attack me!"

Even the demons on the verge of going berserk had no choice but to stop their attack upon hearing this!

"Thousand Faces, don't go too far! Aren't you afraid of the wrath of my Lotus Sect? With your strength, my sect can make you disappear in a minute!"

"To die beneath the peony blossoms is to die a romantic death! I, the Thousand-Faced Gentleman, am not easily intimidated. The Central Plains are not your domain!"

"You know, I've taken so many saintesses and goddesses, and I'm doing just fine now!"
