Chapter 255: Yan Bailu’s Embarrassment! The Poorest Supreme Sect! (Part 2)

Ye Chen looked at Yan Bailu for a moment.

The red dress set off her snow-white skin.

Her figure was curvy, but her face had a somewhat youthful appearance.

A classic case of baby face with a voluptuous figure…

And under her red dress, she wore no shoes.

Her jade-like feet floated in the air, carrying an inexplicable allure.

After a simple greeting, the three of them entered the Saint Master’s hall and sat down.

“Sect Leader Yan, you’ve come a long way. May I ask what brings you here?” Ye Chen preferred to get straight to the point.

Yan Bailu, who had been hesitating about how to start, heard this and gazed seriously at Ye Chen as she spoke, “Saint Master Ye, I killed Daoist Huangpu on Penglai Island, the one who once threatened you and held a grudge against you!”

Ye Chen nodded, but his expression was a bit strange.

Why did Yan Bailu’s words sound like she was trying to take credit?

Seeing Ye Chen’s calm expression, not at all surprised, Yan Bailu began to feel a little anxious.

After killing Daoist Huangpu, she traveled day and night to Great Yan Province.

Sword cultivators were inherently fast, and she was in the late Deity Transformation Realm.

Few cultivators could match her speed.

Why did Ye Chen seem to already know everything?

Yan Bailu tilted her head and emphasized seriously, “I killed Daoist Huangpu for Saint Master Ye!”

Nangong Wan, standing to the side, showed surprise.

It was exactly as she had guessed.

Could it be that Ye Chen’s reputation had attracted female cultivators from Mingwang Province?

Ye Chen was also curious and asked, “Thank you, Sect Leader Yan.

“But, we don’t know each other. Why did Sect Leader Yan help me?”

Yan Bailu, a bit embarrassed, glanced at Ye Chen and said, “It’s because I have a request of Saint Master Ye.

“I heard that Saint Master Ye killed the late Deity Transformation Golden Lion King and obtained its vertical pupil.

“The Golden Lion King had a three-eyed lion bloodline.

“Its vertical pupil has the power to trap and destroy enemies’ souls.

“If I could use the Golden Lion King’s vertical pupil as the core of my Great Annihilation Sword Array, its power would increase by at least double!”

As Yan Bailu spoke, Ye Chen understood.

No one would help him for no reason.

Indeed, Yan Bailu came for the Golden Lion King’s vertical pupil.

Ye Chen smiled.

“I see now!

“Normally, such a divine item as the vertical pupil would be kept in our Sacred Land’s treasury for personal use and not sold.

“However, since Sect Leader Yan has helped me, I will make an exception and sell it to you at half price.

“You only need to pay two million high-grade spirit stones!”

The vertical pupil, inheriting the bloodline of a late Deity Transformation demon king, was invaluable.

Even in Mingwang Province, it would be a coveted treasure.

If someone were to sell it, it would attract countless strong cultivators and forces bidding for it.

Selling it for four to five million would not be a problem.

Selling it for two million to Yan Bailu was definitely a friendly price.

However, Yan Bailu’s face flushed slightly at this, and she lowered her head, speaking in a faint voice, “Saint Master Ye…

“Um, I might not have enough spirit stones…”

Ye Chen frowned upon hearing this.

Mingwang Province was rich in resources and wealthier.

As a supreme sect comparable to Sacred Lands, Celestial Sword Sect was a top sect. Although Ye Chen was not familiar with it, how could Yan Bailu, as a late Deity Transformation sect leader, not have two million top-grade spirit stones?

Ye Chen spoke directly, “Then it will be one million, as a gesture of friendship.”

One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones were nothing to Ye Chen now.

It was like investing in entering the Mingwang Province market.

Building a good relationship with Celestial Sword Sect, a local supreme sect, was beneficial.

Yet Yan Bailu’s head lowered even more.

Her voice was almost inaudible, “Um, I only have two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen squinted, “As a sect leader, you only have two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones?” Ye Chen did not believe it.

Was this woman trying to extort him?

To be honest, Ye Chen hadn’t asked for her help.

Daoist Huangpu was someone Ye Chen could kill with ease.

It was normal for him to thank her for offering help.

But if she pushed her luck too much, that would be another matter.

It was like ordering takeout.

If a colleague helped bring it in and asked for a candy, it was normal.

But if they asked for a grand meal, that would be pushing it.

Ye Chen was not someone with a good temper.

He wasn’t afraid of any supreme sect.

If they dared to come, Ye Chen would dare to kill.

Even if they were at the Great Advancement Realm, Ye Chen had the same attitude.

Trying to extort Ye Chen was definitely a bad idea.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly turned icy.

However, Nangong Wan, who had been silent, spoke up, “I’ve heard of Celestial Sword Sect!

“According to cultivators, although Celestial Sword Sect’s strength is not weak, it is the poorest supreme sect in Mingwang Province.

“Mingwang Province cultivators say that once you join Celestial Sword Sect, you should expect to be poor for life.

“If the rumors are true, then Sect Leader Yan might really only have two hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones!”

Ye Chen’s aura receded upon hearing this.

He looked at Yan Bailu with curiosity, wondering if it was true.

Yan Bailu sighed in relief. The imposing Ye Chen was exceptionally terrifying.

He didn’t seem like a mid-Deity Transformation cultivator at all.

No wonder he could kill the Golden Lion King.

Nangong Wan’s words and Ye Chen’s strange expression made Yan Bailu’s cheeks flush.

But since things had come to this, there was no point in hiding.

Yan Bailu looked at Ye Chen seriously, “Our Celestial Sword Sect is indeed very poor!

“It is recognized as the poorest among similar forces.

“Two hundred thousand is really the limit of what I can offer.

“However, I also know I’m taking advantage. I promise that within fifty… no, within one hundred years, I will definitely return two million high-grade spirit stones to Saint Master Ye!”

Ye Chen twitched his lips…

Celestial Sword Sect was really that poor?

It was absurd.

But thinking about it, Ye Chen smiled…

If Celestial Sword Sect was poor, it was actually good for him.

Because he needed a partner in Mingwang Province!

The poorer Celestial Sword Sect was, the better for him!
