Chapter 1622: Release for Money

Chapter 1622: Chapter 1622: Release for Money

"Achoo!"

Lin YaoYao, who was leading a group of accumulated disciples from the Emperor Rose’s sect, suddenly sneezed.

"Damn it, it must be that Jiang Xiaobai, that son of a bitch, once I get the chance I’ll definitely kill him!"

Lin YaoYao, recalling the scene where she was coerced by Jiang Xiaobai at the bottom of the sea, couldn’t help but grind her molars in hatred.

When in her life had she ever been humiliated like this?

"Just you wait, I won’t let things slide easily with you like this!"

Lin YaoYao clenched her teeth inwardly, pondering how to break free from Jiang Xiaobai’s control and find a way to kill him.

Just at that moment, everyone, including Lin YaoYao, inexplicably felt a chilling sensation surging through them, followed rapidly by a tremor through their bodies as if they had been electrocuted!

To their horror, they found, for some unknown reason, they were unable to move!

"What’s going on?!"

Shocked, Lin YaoYao urgently tried to mobilize the spiritual power within her body to break free from this control, but to no avail. They were all frozen on the spot, completely immobile!

They couldn’t even speak, let alone send out a message!

Not only Lin YaoYao and her group, but at this moment in the entire small world, everyone except those related to Jiang Xiaobai was held in place!

Except for the three people who had been watching the scene unfold from midair.

The youth’s means reached the skies, and even Jiang Xiaobai, with the Divine Jade Willow leaf as his control key, couldn’t detect the presence of these three.

"The show has begun. That kid is one to hold grudges; these people have been talking behind his back a lot, it’s got to be retaliation," Emperor Rose couldn’t help but laugh as she became more and more interested in Jiang Xiaobai.

"It’s been a long time since I’ve played like this, it’s quite amusing to watch him cause chaos,"

The youth smiled lightly, his gaze falling on the Ninth Grade Lotus Platform in the bamboo forest, which was absorbing the essence of life, and a smile curled at the corner of his mouth,

"Back then when Mosquito Daoist stole the Third Grade, the Buddhist factions tried everything to find a way to repair it, but who knew that the Essence of Nine Heavens could actually work?" the youth mused.

"But Master, isn’t Guanyin Bodhisattva also from the Buddhist side? Didn’t they try using the Essence of Nine Heavens?" Emperor Rose asked curiously.

"They tried, but Guanyin Bodhisattva didn’t give it to them,"

The youth laughed with his hands behind his back: "Although Guanyin Bodhisattva is part of the Buddhist faction, she is different. Have you ever seen anyone from the Buddhist faction who could leave Mount Meru to have their own temple outside?"

"That sounds like..."

"No need to ponder these any further. Some things can’t be seen just by looking at the surface. The calculations of those high-ups are too many and knowing them might not be beneficial to you,"

The youth waved his hand: "Just wait and see, that kid won’t let these people off until he has skinned them a layer. And when he goes back to the underworld, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation is fully opened, there will be a lot of things to do."

"Soon, it’s going to get busy."

Meanwhile, inside the bamboo forest, Jiang Xiaobai wore a puzzled expression on his face.

He had controlled everyone in the bamboo forest and could detect everyone’s location, but he was unable to find any trace of Su Mei’s presence!

She disappeared as if into thin air!

Not only that, but he also never got a glimpse of that mysterious youth.

All of this had an indescribable eeriness!

"That youth must not be simple, probably another old monster in hiding. What can I do about it?"

Jiang Xiaobai shrugged his shoulders, deciding not to concern himself with it, planning instead to think about how to use the people he had controlled to extort money!

His divine consciousness, through the Divine Jade Willow leaf, fell upon Lin YaoYao.

A sleazy smile crept across his face.

At the same time, Lin YaoYao’s inner monologue went: "Who am I, where am I, how did this happen, I’m panicking!"

Suddenly being unable to move without any warning is surely a cause for concern, especially when one is inside a secret realm!

What if predatory beasts appear around me, wouldn’t I just become fish on the chopping board?

What’s more terrifying is that if some cultivators come upon me, seeing my appearance and realizing I cannot move, they might very well harbor malicious intentions...

For a moment, Lin YaoYao thought about a lot, and the more she thought, the more frightened she became!

Could it be that I managed to escape from Jiang Xiaobai’s devilish grasps, only to face an unavoidable similar fate?

Suddenly, a voice full of contempt and amusement rang in her ears.

"Yo, isn’t this the witch Lin YaoYao? Why are you standing still in that pose?"

Who is it!

Lin YaoYao instinctively wanted to rebuke, and at the same time turn to see what on earth it was, but she sharply realized she couldn’t move.

Could it be that the very thing I feared is about to become reality?

What kind of powerful being would restrain us in this place?

"Tsk tsk tsk, you seem rather tense, huh?"

"Good girl, no need to be nervous, it’ll be over soon."

Upon hearing this, Lin YaoYao’s body tensed up, making it nearly impossible to breathe, she could only agonizingly wait for the opponent’s dreadful claw!

However, after waiting for a while, there was no response, which made Lin YaoYao puzzled.

What’s going on?

At that moment, the voice came again: "I will release the restraint on you, and you will have the time of three breaths to send out a message. Tell the powerful beings in your Devil Emperor’s Palace that if they want you to return safely, they better prepare a sizable sum of money!"

"The asking price isn’t high, it will be charged per head, for one person it’s just..."

Jiang Xiaobai paused, seemingly still unaware of what the most precious cultivation resource in the Earth Immortal realm was.

But it was clearly not immortal crystals!

The immortal crystals here were much more potent than those in transit worlds, but they paled in comparison to Xuanwu crystals, not to mention the immortal crystals he acquired from the ancient ruins; they were not even the same type of thing!

At this moment, though, Lin YaoYao was in intense agitation, thinking: Just say it, what do you want!

But Jiang Xiaobai no longer spoke, instead, he looked towards Gu Ning: "Master, are there any precious cultivation resources in the Earth Immortal realm?"

"Hmm... Immortal crystals are the general hard currency, but above that, there is an extremely precious and powerful divine crystal; it’s very valuable, approximately one divine crystal could be exchanged for a thousand top-grade immortal crystals, much more potent than the Xuanwu crystals you have on hand."

After pondering for a while, Gu Ning continued: "Why do you ask?"

Jiang Xiaobai grinned, revealing his current schemes to everyone, causing all eyes to widen in shock.

"Wow, you’re just unscrupulously ruthless, a sheer profiteer!"

Gong Yuxin covered her mouth: "Isn’t this too excessive? You’re basically offending all the powers in the four continents."

"Psh, it’s as if they wouldn’t come at me if I didn’t provoke them. Don’t you know that all those forces outside are searching for me, all wanting the Nine-Grade Lotus Platform I have?"

Jiang Xiaobai pouted.

Qin Ruonan was amazed: "But you’re still too greedy, charging per head, those forces might not have enough divine crystals to pay you even if they gave you all they had."

"I can’t be bothered with so much, pay up for release, no money, huff, however many people come, that’s how many I’ll hold!"

Jiang Xiaobai snorted coldly, his gaze once again resting upon Lin YaoYao, who now felt an intense chill coming over her!
