Chapter 1138: Are You Threatening Me?
The Purple Elephant Emperor and Dragon Rhinoceros Emperor couldn’t help but sneer. Their master couldn’t be seen just because someone wanted to see him.
However, just as they were about to refuse, they suddenly noticed a figure swiftly flying nearby. Soon, it landed before them. It was none other than Su Yi.
“I have arrived. What do you wish to discuss?”
After Su Yi landed, he took a quick glance at the situation of the people, and then stared directly at Luo Jin, asking straightforwardly.
On his shoulder, Su Xiaoshuai stood silently, surveying the scene.
Luo Jin felt tense under such a gaze. He remembered it clearly. During the preliminary selection of the Alliance Conference, this young man had single-handedly defeated twenty people from the Golden Sword Sect and the Seven Star Sword Sect. His methods were astonishing!
And more legendary events have added an even fiercer aspect to this young man’s reputation.
“Sect Leader Su!”
After a moment, Luo Jin finally composed himself and politely said, “I would like to discuss the matter of the Yuan Stone mine with you.”
Cold sweat trickled down Luo Jin’s forehead. He felt significant pressure even while speaking. It was peculiar. In front of a young man in the Yuan Void Realm, he shouldn’t have exhibited such behavior.
“Let’s put the matter of the Yuan Stone mine aside for now. You injured my people; let’s address this first!”
Su Yi didn’t shift his gaze and spoke in a low voice.
Purple Elephant Emperor had already sent him a message, informing him about Dragon Rhinoceros Emperor getting poisoned, which made Su Yi feel displeased.
In fact, he had already noticed the arrival of powerful individuals here, but he didn’t expect both Purple Elephant Emperor and Dragon Rhinoceros Emperor to fail to control the situation immediately. That’s why he stepped forward now and brought Su Xiaoshuai along.
“Um…”
Luo Jin was surprised initially, then turned his head and signaled to the Golden Spider.
Immediately, the Golden Spider turned its wrist and took out a small bottle from its space bag, and handed it to Luo Jin with a solemn expression.
“Sect Leader Su, here is the antidote for the Heavenly Poison. The toxin affecting him will naturally not be a problem!”
Luo Jin stated this, but he didn’t offer the bottle to Su Yi or Dragon Rhinoceros Emperor. He simply continued in a measured tone, “I sincerely wish to discuss something with Sect Leader Su. I hope you will consider it.”
Su Yi observed his actions, didn’t respond, but a profound coldness appeared in his eyes.
Luo Jin hesitated again and seeing that Su Yi remained silent, he continued, “We discovered this mine some time ago. I believe Sect Leader Su is also aware of it. There are abundant Yuan Stones here, and they are of exceptional quality! Once we extract them all, it will be an immeasurable gain! These Yuan Stones are also vital to my Sky Spider Sect, and I don’t wish to forfeit them!”
“However, since the Overlord Sect has also discovered this deposit, my Sky Spider Sect naturally has no reason to drive you away. How about this: let’s mine together, collaborate, and split the Yuan Stones equally. What do you think, Sect Leader Su?”
As Luo Jin spoke these words, he felt great anguish in his heart.
Such a valuable mine originally belonged to his Sky Spider Sect alone, but now he had to share it with the Overlord Sect. This caused him tremendous distress.
However, there was no alternative. The Sky Spider Sect was weakened and could not compete with the Overlord Sect.
If they didn’t yield and insisted on challenging, they might end up like the Golden Sword Sect and the Seven Star Sword Sect!
So even if they had to surrender half of the Yuan Stones, he had to endure it. Moreover, the Overlord Sect was asserting its dominance, so he had to concede a few more.
“What did you say? Mine together? Split between our two sects?”
Suddenly, Su Yi laughed and regarded Luo Jin with a mocking gaze, coldly saying, “Are you attempting to blackmail me with the potion in your hand and negotiate with me in this manner? Don’t you consider that somewhat absurd?”
Su Yi was genuinely amused because he thought Luo Jin had made a preposterous suggestion.
A Yuan Stone mine, making Overlord Sect relinquish half of it, was more painful than cutting into Su Yi’s flesh with a knife. How could he possibly agree?
Su Yi was still planning to use this Yuan Stone mine to settle Lingbao Pavilion’s debts and expand Overlord Sect rapidly.
Sharing the Yuan Stone with Sky Spider Sect? That was absolutely something he could not consent to, even at knife point!
Besides, why should he?
“Sect Leader Su, you misinterpreted…”
Luo Jin perceived that the situation was deteriorating and immediately said, “I am genuinely willing to negotiate with you, Sect Leader. After all, everyone desires such a Yuan Stone mine. Since both my Sky Spider Sect and Overlord Sect have discovered this location and dispatched people here, to prevent conflicts, why don’t we unite to mine it, so that no other forces will target us?”
“If other forces target us, that is a concern for my Overlord Sect.”
Su Yi glanced at Luo Jin indifferently and said, “Stop this pointless talk. I won’t concede a single piece of the Yuan Stone in the mine to Sky Spider Sect. If you feel aggrieved, then challenge me. Let’s resolve this through strength.”
While speaking, Su Yi’s Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique began to activate, emanating a powerful momentum and a combat-ready posture.
Su Yi possesses the confidence that, based on the current strength of the Overlord Sect, he indeed need not consider the position of the Sky Spider Sect.
Furthermore, he has no intention of allowing Luo Jin and Golden Spider to depart.
If elder brother Xi Wuqing weren’t occupied establishing the Fantastic Gate Soul Realm, Su Yi wouldn’t waste time here and would directly apprehend these three individuals.
“Sect Leader Su, you should reconsider!”
Luo Jin suddenly gritted his teeth, hatred evident in his eyes, and said sternly, “I, Luo, know my limitations and I understand that Sky Spider Sect cannot match the Overlord Sect. But if specific information about this mine were to leak, it would surely alert even second-rate forces. Sect Leader Su, you should truly reflect on this.”
As soon as Su Yi heard these words, his eyes immediately sharpened, and his entire body’s aura surged, accompanied by tremendous pressure descending into the void!
“Whoosh…”
The surging and turbulent Yuan energy caused Luo Jin, Golden Spider, and Elder Mu to involuntarily retreat a step under this imposing pressure.
They were extremely astonished internally. How could a teenager in the Yuan Void Realm possess such terrifying power?
“Are you threatening me?”
Su Yi advanced a step in the void, confronting Luo Jin directly.
The other party’s intention was already evident. They clearly intended to use news of the mine to coerce Su Yi and compel his agreement.
“I’m not threatening you. It’s simply that this mine belongs to the Sky Spider Sect as well. If I cannot obtain my share, I will consider finding another party to assist us in acquiring it.”
At this juncture, they had already discarded pretense. Luo Jin also regarded Su Yi coldly and stated.
Overlord Sect is indeed formidable; they have defeated Tiangang Sect. However, many recognize that the primary credit for that victory belongs to the Fantastic Gate Soul Realm, and the most powerful experts of Tiangang Sect didn’t even participate.
Otherwise, how could an Overlord Sect withstand the full-scale assault of a second-rate power?
And this mine possesses sufficient allure to attract the attention of certain second-rate powers!
No matter how strong the Overlord Sect is, contending with second-rate forces for a mine is merely a fantasy. The might of those major factions is beyond the Overlord Sect’s comparison!
“Indeed?”
Su Yi sneered, observing Luo Jin and said coldly, “Do you believe you three can leave this place today?”
As he spoke, Purple Elephant Emperor and Dragon Rhinoceros Emperor rushed aggressively toward Luo Jin and his companions.
Su Xiaoshuai flapped his wings and targeted Elder Mu, preparing to act and subdue him.
“With merely a few of you, you cannot impede us!”
Luo Jin’s expression darkened. The situation had escalated to such a degree that he had no recourse.
Abandoning the mine was impossible; the temptation was too substantial.
But directly confronting the Overlord Sect was also a formidable challenge.
So, from the moment he had made his decision, Luo Jin had already planned his escape route!
“Capture them for me!”
Su Yi ceased further discussion and with a wave of his arm, the Dragon Rhinoceros Emperor and the Purple Elephant Emperor charged forward, filled with murderous intent, each advancing toward Golden Spider and Luo Jin respectively.
“Let’s depart!”
Luo Jin shouted loudly, without hesitation, and immediately took flight with Golden Spider, showing no intention to engage.
Nearby, Elder Mu prepared to follow them and swiftly leave the area, but suddenly, a blazing fire rushed toward him, emitting an incredibly high temperature, obstructing his retreat.
“Where do you think you can flee in my presence?”
Su Xiaoshuai gently flapped his wings and spoke gravely.
Seeing that Elder Mu was preparing to retaliate, Su Xiaoshuai rapidly flapped his wings, and a massive surge of flames erupted, engulfing him completely.
Against Su Xiaoshuai, a warrior at the third grade of the Yuan Emperor Realm found it exceedingly difficult to even escape!
In an instant, various restrictions descended upon Elder Mu, inflicted by Su Xiaoshuai, rendering him immobile.
Meanwhile, Luo Jin and the Golden Spider had already fled far away.
They glanced back and observed Elder Mu’s predicament, but they couldn’t return to rescue him because the Purple Elephant Emperor and Dragon Rhinoceros Emperor had nearly caught up.
If they didn’t leave promptly, when the Soul Tamer of the Overlord Sect, who was at the Seventh Grade of the Yuan Emperor Realm, arrived, their situation would become dire.
“No need to pursue!”
Su Yi communicated telepathically, halting the Purple Elephant Emperor and Dragon Rhinoceros Emperor from continuing the chase.
“Boss, is it appropriate to let them escape?”
After capturing Elder Mu, Su Xiaoshuai again perched on Su Yi’s shoulder while inquiring.
“Why worry? By the time they locate a second-rate power for support, big brother will have completed the Fantastic Gate Soul Realm. We’re actually in urgent need of manpower now; I fear there won’t be sufficient people arriving at that time.”
Su Yi chuckled softly as he spoke.
Permitting Luo Jin and the others to leave, he wasn’t particularly concerned.
The matter of the Yuan Stone deposits did indeed require secrecy, but Su Yi had come to realize that since the Sky Spider Sect already knew about it, concealment couldn’t be maintained indefinitely.
Even if they apprehended Luo Jin and Golden Spider, they couldn’t guarantee that others in the Sky Spider Sect weren’t aware of it.
