CHAPTER 435: CHAPTER 435: CASUALLY SETTING A TRAP

All the other Qilins around couldn’t help but cover their faces.

Are you seriously offering such a low price?

At the Emperor Venerable Level, 1 billion for each is already a bargain, but this Divine Venerable Level is at least a thousand times more ’valuable’ than the Emperor Venerable Level.

Of course, if you really charged hundreds or thousands of times more, no one could afford it.

That’s just unrealistic.

But you only increased the price fivefold, isn’t that a bit too much?

This is way too stingy!

Are you bullying Emperor Junshuai, the honest one?

Brother Cheng almost couldn’t contain his laughter; he was about to leave empty-handed, but unexpectedly gained another 5 billion.

Exchanging 10 points of merit for 5 billion merit points — only a fool wouldn’t do it.

However, on the surface, he deliberately showed a troubled and pained expression.

"Well, Emperor Yulin, you’re really robbing me; this price..."

"Even if we’re close, this is a bit too much!"

"How about you add a little more..."

The more he acted like this, the more Emperor Yulin felt he was getting a huge bargain.

"Brother Profound Turtle, I’ve been protecting your Golden Sea Demon Race all these years, and that’s not something that can be measured by Demon Essence!"

"You hesitate even when I ask to buy a pearl?"

His expression darkened: "If you’re going to be so calculative, then about the matter of destroying the Pearl Race, I should really have a word with you!"

"If we don’t talk it out, you’re not leaving today!"

Brother Cheng thought to himself, good thing I’m not the real Profound Turtle Emperor, otherwise I’d be enraged by you.

As if your Qilin Race has never wiped out any races.

He’s finding high-sounding reasons on the surface, but deep down, it’s just a bully’s face of blatant forced buying and selling, worthy of being a leader in the Demon Realm.

"Sigh, Emperor Yulin speaks the truth!"

"Alright, 5 billion it is!"

"Good!"

Emperor Yulin was overjoyed and eagerly handed over the demon artifact filled with 5 billion Demon Essence to him, afraid he might change his mind.

He then immediately displayed his vast, sprawling demon body and happily put the Divine Venerable-level pearl around his neck.

Showing it off to the Quasi-Emperor Demon Kings below.

Hearing the envious and admiring voices from below, Emperor Yulin felt his life was worth it.

Such a large one suits the grand style of a Great Emperor!

From now on, wherever he goes, he’ll wear this pearl.

Taking the 5 billion Demon Essence, Brother Cheng contentedly watched him flaunting it like a grandfather looking at a mischievous grandson.

"Well, Emperor Yulin, I have some other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first!"

Enjoy it while it lasts; after getting such a huge advantage, it’s best to leave early.

"Wait a minute!" Emperor Yulin stopped him once again.

Seriously, don’t be endless!

Brother Cheng was a bit impatient.

If he really got irked, he wouldn’t care about the chaos in the Demon Realm, he’d just wipe you out.

"What’s the matter now?"

Emperor Yulin flew in front of him, a flash of greed passing by: "I recall you said earlier you have two Divine Venerable-level pearls, there’s still one left..."

"What, you want to buy it too?"

"Not really."

Emperor Yulin only had about a hundred billion Demon Essence as ’liquid funds’ at most.

He couldn’t spend it all on two pearls.

"I just wanted to ask if you planned to sell the remaining one to my brother, Emperor Mo Lin?"

Another Demon Emperor of the Qilin Race, Emperor Mo Lin is the current Lord of the Celestial Division and the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm.

He’s stationed in the Grand Demon Palace right now, so he’s not at Profound Qilin Mountain.

"Exactly, I plan to sell it to him."

"Why don’t I keep it for you and personally hand it to him when I see him?"

Brother Cheng almost burst out laughing.

You help me hand it over?

How would you hand it over? You haven’t paid for it; how would you keep it?

Aren’t you thinking of greedily keeping the other one?

Even though the pearl is only worth 10 points of merit in his eyes, Brother Cheng wasn’t interested.

"Emperor Yulin, without Demon Essence, don’t bother!"

"For this remaining one, I think I’d better sell it to him myself, no need for you to worry!"

Saying this, he turned sharply, bypassed Emperor Yulin, and walked away briskly!

Emperor Yulin was left behind, his face extremely ugly.

This was clearly not giving him any face.

For a moment, his killing intent surged, almost tempted to kill and seize the treasure.

But perhaps realizing the Profound Turtle Emperor wasn’t easy to provoke, and that the Golden Sea Demon Race still needed to be lured in, he finally suppressed the killing intent.

Meanwhile, Brother Cheng left Profound Qilin Mountain laughing out loud.

"Hahaha, made a huge profit this time!"

"Even dug a pit for the Profound Turtle Emperor."

Why did he deliberately say there were two pearls, planning to sell one to Emperor Mo Lin?

Wasn’t it so that Emperor Mo Lin would ask the true Profound Turtle Emperor about purchasing it next time?

By then, the Profound Turtle Emperor surely wouldn’t have it, clueless, and given the Qilin Race’s domineering style, there’s bound to be a show.

The Azure Dragon Empress had witnessed the whole process from the shadows, now unsure what to say.

The mighty Qilin Race was deceived by him into losing a massive amount of resources.

And casually pushed the staunch allies, the Golden Sea Demon Race and the Qilin Race, to opposing sides.

This person not only possesses miraculous abilities but also a very dangerous cunning mind.

Sly when needed, ruthless when necessary, being sold yet still helping count the money for him.

She couldn’t help but sigh: "Lucky you’re the new Great Emperor of my Azure Dragon Race."

Cang Ling is the only one in the Demon Realm who knows Brother Cheng’s human identity.

So she’s well aware Jiang Cheng could have chosen not the Demon Realm, but stayed in the Immortal and Demon Realms.

"If you were from the Immortal Realm, I’m afraid the Demon Realm wouldn’t last even a few years before being turned upside down by you..."

But unfortunately, the Immortal and Demon Realms chose to suppress the Feixian Sect back then, pushing him to the Dragon Race.

This perhaps...is fate!

Sect Leader Jiang had no time for sentiment; he was completely immersed in the happiness of massive merit.

"Cackle cackle, this time surely can upgrade to Quasi-Emperor level, right?"

"Grand Demon Assembly, here we come!"

This time he got a whopping 17 billion Demon Essence, along with over 2 billion worth of Immortal Artifacts, Innate Treasures, Demon Artifacts, and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Those Demon Essence alone are worth 17 billion merit points.

Of course, he exchanged all of it without hesitation.

Last time, to break through to Quasi-Emperor, he exhausted 3 billion merit points without success.

He was really eager for merit.

Now with 17 billion in front of him, he was extremely pleased!

"Trying to stop me from leveling up? Look at my merit-earning speed!"

"What’s the use of having many main rules?"

Far from the Qilin Race’s sphere of influence, he picked a secluded mountain forest and eagerly began the process of exchanging for pills to break through.

billion merit worth of pills consumed, he once again entered a breakthrough state.

The Enlightenment Immortal Tree scattered its radiance, and 992 main rule light clusters revolved like planets.

Among them, the light cluster of the Speed Rule was ten times brighter, because last time he already obtained the brand of the Heart of the Speed Rule.

This time, he could choose another.

Brother Cheng didn’t even think twice and directly chose the Power Rule.

No choice, even a newbie in the Cultivation Realm knows this rule is badass.
