859 Chapter 859: Purple-robed Old Man
“You two want to go to Scarlet Flame Empire?” The purple-clothed old man’s eyes flickered slightly when he heard Lin Hao say that he and Meng Fu wants to go to the Scarlet Flame Empire. He carefully sized the two of them and a hint of a smile appeared on his face. Then he said: “The Scarlet Flame Empire is about five hundred thousand miles away from here. One person requires five million Low-Grade Divine Stones and two will have to pay 10 Million Low-Grade Divine Stones. You could also pay one hundred thousand Mid-Grade Divine Stones or one thousand High-Grade Divine Stones. How will you pay?”
“I have the special token required to teleport here!” Lin Hao said calmly and looked at Meng Fu. Meng Fu took out the special token from his spatial ring and showed it to the purple-robed old man.
When the purple-robed old man saw the token, he revealed an unusual expression on his face. He took the token from Meng Fu and looked at it for a moment. He confirmed that there is no mistake, this was really the order badge required to teleport without paying a single penny. These kinds of tokens are very few and only powerful sects and forces have these tokens. He didn’t know how Lin Hao and Meng Fu were able to get their hands on this token.
It seemed that the status of the two of them is not simple. But the purple-robed old man was not afraid. So what if Lin Hand and Meng Fu have high status? This is the Black Blade City. Although the most powerful person in this city is just a Peak Heavenly Divine Lord, even powers with Rulers and Exalted Rulers would not dare interfere with them. It is because the only G.o.d Tower in the entire Ancient Divine World is standing behind them.
The teleportation formation here that could teleport people anywhere in the entire Ancient Divine World was created by the G.o.d Tower where G.o.d lives. G.o.d Tower was the true owner of this world-cla.s.s teleportation formation. He and others of the Black Blade City are just the caretakers.
“There’s only one token?” The purple-clothed old man held the token in his hand and said.pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴ(0ᴠᴇ)ᴠᴇʟ.ᴄᴏᴍ
“Is one not enough?” Lin Hao’s tone was cold. He now already knows that more than one person could use the Teleportation Formation on one token. Moreover, he saw a hint of conspiracy in the eyes of the old man.
“One token can only be used by one person. However, there are two of you. In that case, you will need two tokens.” The purple-robed old man laughed heartily and said, completely ignoring Lin Hao’s cold voice.
“As far as I know, there has never been such a rule. Could it be that senior is deliberately making things difficult for us?” Lin Hao squinted his eyes and stared at the other party as he spoke indifferently.
“Brat, what do you mean by this? Do you think that this old man will deliberately make things difficult for the two of you?” The purple-robed old man’s expression was filled with rage as he shouted out with incomparable severity. He was like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on, and he almost jumped up.
Meng Fu’s expression changed slightly, but Lin Hao’s expression was still the same. No matter how angry the other party was, he was not afraid in the slightest. pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ
“Senior, as far as I know, even three people could use teleportation formation on one token. But you are telling me that only one person could teleport. You should be explaining this to me, not throwing a tantrum!”
Lin Hao could understand what the purple-clothed old man was thinking, it was obvious that he was purposely making things difficult for them. As for why? It is as clear as day that the old man wanted to take the chance to extort money and treasures from the two of them. As for suddenly getting angry, he was just purposefully trying to intimidate them.
If it was any other timid person, they might have already been tricked. But Lin Hao was not like that, he would not be scared at all.
The purple-robed old man’s eyes were filled with surprise. He knew a lot of people who would run far away in fear whenever he tries to intimidate them using his strength. Lin Hao and Meng Fu, both are only Worldly Divine Lords. He is confident that he could deal with these two little fellows immediately. He didn’t expect Lin Hao not to be afraid of him.
“What I do, do I need a little fellow like you to teach me?” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕ(ꪫ)ꪣꫀ ꪶ
The purple-clothed old man’s expression was extremely gloomy. He purposely released his aura, wanting to intimidate Lin Hao, and said.
But he was disappointed. This boy in front of him was simply too calm. Facing him, his eyes revealed only an incomparably calm expression, as if nothing could change him at all.
“I wonder what kind of background this kid has. It’s impossible for ordinary geniuses to not change their expressions even after being intimidated by me. Where does this kid come from?” The purple-clothed old man was suspicious in his heart, but he didn’t show it on his face.
He glanced at Lin Hao and said sternly: “Originally, one token is enough, but recently we have been ordered from higher-ups. In order to prevent chaos and infiltrate the formation, only one person could use the teleportation formation using one token. Since you have one token in your possession, you just need to pay five million Low-Grade Divine Stones, 50,000 Mid-Grade Divine Stones, or 500 High-Grade Divine Stones. Hurry up and make the choice. Don’t force me to use my strength on you guys!”
“Haha… Hahaha!” Lin Hao started laughing when he heard the old man’s words. As he had expected, the other party was deliberately making things difficult for him, and it was indeed for the benefit. This action of the old man is simply too brazen. If it were several hundred Low-Grade Divine Stones, then it could just be considered as a tip to the old man. But he was asking for five million Low-Grade Divine Stones. This is simply too big of a demand. Is the old man treating him like a lamb to be slaughtered?
“Have you decided? You could either step into the teleportation formation alone or fork out five million Low-Grade Divine Stones to teleportation formation together with your buddy. I have limited time so I do not wish to stand here with you.”
The old man completely ignored Lin Hao’s laughter. He did not believe that he would not be able to handle a mere Worldly Divine Lord. He had full authority over the teleportation formation. He could change the rules however he wants. It is not like he did not allow the person with the token to enter. Even if people from G.o.d Tower came to ask about it, they would not do much to him, since he is working for them.
pAɴᴅᴀɴ[0ᴠᴇ]ʟ “Why are you inclined on making things difficult for us? Are you sure about this? You have to know that there are some people you can’t afford to offend and there are some things that you can’t do.” Lin Hao’s already cold gaze turned colder. The old man is forcing him into a corner. If this continued, he could only force his way out and seize the right to use the teleportation formation.
The consequences of doing this might offend some of the great powers in the Ancient Divine World, but as long as they left and not be caught by the G.o.d Tower, it would be alright.
“Don’t talk nonsense with me. If you didn’t think it through, then come look for me again some another time with enough Divine Stones. Go away now, I have other things to do!” The purple-clothed old man turned around and was about to leave after he finished speaking when he suddenly felt a heavy fluctuation of energy. He turned around and saw Lin Hao taking out the G.o.d Slaying Sword.
“You?”
Before he could complete his sentence, he was attacked by Lin Hao. Lin Hao cut off the old man’s left arm with a sword strike and said: “If you don’t let us use the teleportation circle then I’ll kill you. No one can save you. So, it’ll be better for you to teleport us to the Scarlet Flame Empire.”
The old man was stunned. For a while, he couldn’t react at all. He didn’t even feel pain when his left arm was sliced off from his shoulder by Lin Hao.
But when he came to his senses, the pain made him scream loudly as he held the wound on his shoulder and retreated a few steps back.
“Ahhh…”
The old man’s eyes turned red. He didn’t expect Lin Hao to suddenly attack him.
“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you dare to sneak an attack on me. I will not let you go, I’ll definitely kill you. No one can save you now!”
