Chapter 2560: Soul Elemental Crystal! The Despair Of The Ti Brothers And Le Yan! Fight! (4)
She couldn’t afford it!
“You, you, you! I, I…” Le Yan stared wide-eyed at her supposed friend, never expecting such a “malicious” suggestion to come from her. She was almost on the verge of tears.
“Heh heh, I was just kidding. Don’t take it seriously,” Sang Yi, facing her gaze, avoided it with a guilty conscience, chuckling nervously.
The final bid from the two eternal-stage martial warriors settled at 33,000 Chaos Coins, and neither of them raised the price further. They turned to w.a.n.g Teng, seemingly leaving the decision up to him.
They didn’t release any overt pressure, but there seemed to be an invisible force pressing down on w.a.n.g Teng.
Such was the might of eternal-stage beings.
They had shown their sincerity by raising the price to such a high level. Now it was w.a.n.g Teng’s turn to make a decision.
Both of them were eternal-stage beings, and they believed that no one would dare refuse an eternal-stage powerhouse.
Everyone looked at w.a.n.g Teng, wondering what his choice would be.
“If you sell the soul elemental crystal to me, consider it as me owing you a favor,” the eternal-stage being in the moon-white robe said with a slight smile. “Also, you may not know my strength. 1 am an eternal stage duke.”
“Heh heh, 1 am also an eternal stage duke. If you are willing to sell this soul elemental crystal to me, I will owe you a favor as well,” the green-robed old man emitted a hoa.r.s.e laugh.
Many were stunned. These two eternal-stage beings were both eternal-stage dukes, and they had reached such a point in their bid for the soul elemental crystal that they even promised a favor. It was truly mind-boggling.
Many looked at w.a.n.g Teng with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
They were eternal-stage dukes!
The favor owed by an eternal-stage duke was terrifying.
However, some people suddenly felt a sense of schadenfreude. Both eternal-stage beings had promised such generous conditions both were determined to win. No matter whom this guy chose to sell to, he would offend the other eternal-stage being. It was like being caught in a dilemma.
However, faced with this situation, w.a.n.g Teng just smiled faintly and said, “Seniors, there’s no need to compete. This soul elemental crystal has its purpose for me, so I won’t sell it.”
With these words, everyone was stunned, then shocked beyond measure.
This fellow rejected both eternal-stage beings at the same time.
Where did he get his confidence?
“Oh, aren’t you reconsidering?” The green-robed old man narrowed his eyes slightly and said lightly.
“Young friend, while the innocent may carry a jade, it’s a crime to keep it concealed. You should understand this principle. The value of this soul elemental crystal has far exceeded your capacity to bear. It’s better to sell it off early,” the eternal-stage being in the moon-white robe glanced at the green-robed old man, hesitated for a moment, then continued, “Converting it to Chaos Coins would at least make it safer.”
w.a.n.g Teng glanced at the eternal-stage being. He could tell that the other party wasn’t trying to force him but was genuinely offering advice.
However, the green-robed old man was different. w.a.n.g Teng could see a hint of greed in his eyes.
This person was bad.
It seemed that the people gathered at the Secondary Career Alliance headquarters were a mixed bag, with all sorts of characters.
As the words of the two eternal-stage beings fell, the atmosphere around them immediately became tense.
If only a few had realized the situation earlier, now it seemed that everyone felt that something was amiss.
It appeared that while the soul elemental crystal held great value, it had also become a hot potato.
Although this young master was a three-field grandmaster, his strength was too weak. Without any background, it would be difficult for him to hold onto the soul elemental crystal.
It seemed that the only ones interested in obtaining the soul elemental crystal were the two eternal-stage beings before them, but it didn’t take much thought to realize that there were surely countless eyes watching from behind.
There were certainly many powerful individuals interested in the soul elemental crystal.
“How about selling it to our family, the Tai Family?” Just then, a voice rang out abruptly from outside the crowd.
The crowd parted, revealing several figures approaching from a distance.
“Family Head!” Tai Lu’s eyes lit up at the sight of the newcomers and immediately went to greet them.
“The Tai family!”
“The Tai family is here!”
“This is going to be interesting.”
“Since the Tai family is here, the other core families will come too.”
As the people around saw the approaching figures, they couldn’t help but be surprised, whispering among themselves.
Among the figures from the Tai Family, the leader was a middle-aged man who bore some resemblance to Tai Lu. He nodded at Tai Lu before turning to the two eternal-stage beings and clasping his fists, saying, “Esteemed martial warriors, the Tai Family is also very interested in this soul elemental crystal. Please forgive us.”
“Oh, it’s the family head of the Tai family!” The two eternal-stage martial warriors frowned, but they still nodded at each other.
The Tai Family was a core family of the Secondary Career Alliance headquarters, and even they dared not easily offend them.
“Young friend, you’re truly outstanding. Compared to you, my son pales in comparison,” the Tai Family’s Family Head said with a smile to w.a.n.g Teng. “Your son?” w.a.n.g Teng asked.
Tai Lu:…
The family head of the Tai family:…
The crowd looked at w.a.n.g Teng with amus.e.m.e.nt, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
Who would ask such a question?
“Pfft… cough!” Gu Luo almost sprayed out a mouthful of water, hastily coughing to cover up his embarra.s.sment.
“Haha, this grandmaster is truly a witty person!” A burst of laughter suddenly rang out…
