CHAPTER 959: CHAPTER 950: CONFRONTING THE HEROES

"Kidnapping?"

Upon hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, the crowd around was petrified.

Not just the Flame Phoenix Saintess and Jiang Chen, they never expected that even Tang Yongming and the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Heir are now in the hands of the other side.

And what does he mean?

Whether to release them depends on whether All Holy Lands and the ancient martial families show sincerity...

If this isn’t kidnapping, what else could it be?

"Outrageous!"

In the sky, the Flame Phoenix Saint Master was furious, his gaze piercing over, "Mo Wangchen, don’t go too far, release them immediately!"

"Why should I release them just because you say so? They’re my hostages, I won’t let them go without some benefits, why else would I bother capturing them?"

The crowd was speechless once more, who knows why you bothered capturing them?

They are all talents from various factions, including many Saint Level subjects being kidnapped by you, and now, in front of all the Saint Masters of the world, you dare to ask for benefits here!

"In one word, release them or not?!"

Not just the Flame Phoenix Divine Sect, but the Saint Masters of the Jiang Family and Tang Family were equally enraged.

Their auras were like mountains, causing the heavens and earth to change color, clearly showing they were ready to make a move at any moment.

Mo Wangchen’s expression slightly changed, though he showed no emotion on his face, deep down he couldn’t help but feel a tinge of fear. These Saint Master powerhouses, each one could sweep across a realm, any one of them could kill him with a single slap.

But thinking of the hostages in his hands and the presence behind him that made them wary.

Mo Wangchen’s face instantly turned resolute as he stood forth and said, "Give me half of the Desolate Power you acquired, and I’ll release them. Otherwise, negotiations are off."

"Shameless brat, how dare you ask for so much!"

The Saint Master of the Tang Family was so angry that he spat blood. They had just lost a Holy Path Weapon, and now the Tang Family was waiting for this Desolate Power to repair another Ancestor Artifact within the family. If Mo Wangchen took half, the Tang Family would face huge losses.

Not gaining any benefits, and losing a Holy Path Weapon at that, this was no small loss for the Tang Family and other factions.

"If I were really asking for a lot, I would ask for all the Desolate Power, unfortunately, I’m not that greedy, still have some conscience left, just want half of your Desolate Power, the other half is enough for you to repair a Holy Path Weapon." Mo Wangchen said.

Today, the Holy Bone emerged, if it weren’t for various factions bringing out Holy Path Weapons to suppress it, the Xuanwu Alliance wouldn’t have avoided a bloody storm.

In some sense, these factions have a life-saving grace toward the cultivators of the Xuanwu Alliance, Mo Wangchen naturally didn’t dare to go too far.

However, a separate matter is the separate matter, the reason the Holy Bone was awakened is completely due to Jiang Chen opening the Ancient Coffin, no blame on anyone else.

"Mo Wangchen, you’re openly disrespecting All Holy Lands and ancient martial families, release my Flame Phoenix Divine Sect’s Saintess immediately, or else, don’t blame me for being rude." The Flame Phoenix Saint Master sneered coldly.

"Fine, come, I’d like to see if you dare to make a move on me." Mo Wangchen took another step forward, staring directly at the opponent, without the slightest fear on his face.

He had long seen that these Saint Masters feared the figure behind him, otherwise, they would have already made a move instead of talking so much nonsense with him.

"You!"

The Flame Phoenix Saint Master was so angry he spat blood; he truly did not dare to make a move against Mo Wangchen. The sword light that pierced through most of the heavens and earth that day had even driven Yan Ruyi away, how could he possibly have the courage to provoke the person behind Mo Wangchen?

Among the crowd, Tian Xinzhi, the Heavenly Martial Saint Leng Yun, and other talents showed peculiar expressions, looking at Mo Wangchen in the scene, evidently, they never expected someone would dare to hold various prodigies for ransom like this.

The rest felt lucky, thinking that it’s fortunate they did not encounter Mo Wangchen in the previously explored ruins.

"Give me the Desolate Power, and I’ll release them immediately. Alright, stop with the nonsense, let’s go one by one, and no one should think about cutting the line." Mo Wangchen said.

The crowd was speechless again, cutting in line? This is practically playing with fire, any of these powerful Saint Masters could slap you to death?

"Dream on, what if we give you the Desolate Power and you don’t release them?" A Saint Master snorted coldly.

"Don’t be silly, everyone is just in it for profit, a fair trade, why would I keep holding onto them if there’s no reason? To put it bluntly, if I keep them I still have to feed them myself, I don’t have that kind of time."

The crowd was speechless, his words made it sound like those Saint Heiresses and Saintesses were his pets.

"Everyone, let Fang be your witness, how about that?" At this time, Fang Yuan stepped forward, feeling somewhat speechless towards Mo Wangchen, yet also admiring his boldness, daring to hold even Saint Heirs and Saintesses hostage.

Looking across the ages in the Xuanwu Alliance, how many dare to perform such a shocking act?

"With Senior Fang Yuan as a witness, I, of course, believe it, it’s just, I wonder what they think." Mo Wangchen nodded.

All Saint Masters frowned, people cannot just sit by, they are after all the pillars of the next generation in their factions. But thinking about handing over half the Desolate Power, even thinking about it makes them feel distressed.

"Little Friend Mo, why don’t we do this, we all lost a Holy Path Weapon today, this Desolate Power can just cover that loss, or let us replace it with Immortal Stones for the exchange, how about it?" A Saint Master spoke rather politely, evidently seeking Mo Wangchen’s opinion, not daring to be forceful.

"Indeed, each of our families and All Holy Lands, give you one billion Immortal Stones, what do you think, Little Friend Mo?" Another person spoke up.

With these words, everyone couldn’t help but gasp, each taking out a billion, adding them together, how astonishing would such a sum be?

"What do I need Immortal Stones for?"

However, Mo Wangchen refused very simply, disdainfully glancing at them, "Back in Sunset City, a thumb-sized piece of Desolate Stone, containing just half a pound of Desolate Power, was almost sold for nearly a billion, do you take me for a fool or think that the lives of these Saint Heirs and Saintesses are just worth a billion Immortal Stones?"

To be honest, Immortal Stones are really not that necessary for Mo Wangchen, he has an endless supply of Divine Spring on him, casually take out a portion and auction it off, would he ever be short of Immortal Stones?

"Very well, my Flame Phoenix Divine Sect will make the exchange with you first!" The Flame Phoenix Saint Master spoke, with the hostage in Mo Wangchen’s hands, he had no choice but to compromise.

Zhou Jing was recently killed, the Great Elder also died, in the ruins just now, if something were to happen to the Saintess, the Flame Phoenix Divine Sect would be barely different from facing annihilation.

"The Desolate Power, bring it over." Mo Wangchen held the Qiankun Bag, looking at the opponent said.

"Swoosh!"

A storage ring flew over from the hand of the Flame Phoenix Saint Master, containing half of the Desolate Power they had recently allocated.

As the ring landed in his hand, Mo Wangchen used his Divine Thought to inspect, the Desolate Power within was thick like fog, a good three to four hundred pounds.

"The restoration of the Heavenly Subduing Bow is now hopeful..."

He murmured to himself, eyes glittering, without hesitation, he tapped the Qiankun Bag in his hand, releasing the Flame Phoenix Saintess.

"Mo Wangchen, you bastard!"

The Flame Phoenix Saintess’s eyes first showed confusion, but upon seeing Mo Wangchen in front of her, her face immediately flushed with anger.
