Chapter 1624: Chapter 1624: Then Less Would Be Better

The elder of the Bull Demon Sect didn’t dare to let out a fart when he heard Emperor Rose speak in that tone!

Indeed, Emperor Rose had warned them back then, but the Bull Demon Sect considered itself a superpower in Western Niu He Continent and had some strength, figuring that even if there were dangers in the ancient relics, they wouldn’t be too much for even a supreme being to cope with, right?

If the Celestial Palace’s advice went unheeded, then Emperor Rose had nothing else to say, but there were still rules – split the findings in half, for that has always been the way of the Celestial Palace!

Unfortunately, the Bull Demon Sect did not obtain the treasure, and this incident arose because of it.

Yes, as of now, all members of the Bull Demon Sect aware of this matter believed that the trouble caused this time was all due to their insistence on breaking the seal to obtain the treasures.

They mistook the behind-the-scenes mastermind Jiang Xiaobai for an ancient powerhouse emerging from the seal!

Little did they know, at this moment, Emperor Rose was pondering whether to go back and tell Jiang Xiaobai to ask for less.

You see, asking for so much has left many forces at a loss.

Looking around, the strong from many forces were all clamoring to go in and deal with the troublemaker, but no one dared to make a move.

After all, the means to imprison people in place were too sinister; they couldn’t be sure they could withstand it if they went in.

What’s more important is that news came from the Bull Demon Sect that four Immortal Emperors had died!

"Then... Emperor, what should we do? Those are the talented disciples from various forces; if something happens to them, I fear the Bull Demon Sect will become the target of the whole world."

The elder of the Bull Demon Sect had totally lost his nerve at this point, not daring to be tough anymore.

Although his sect was strong, if they really faced a siege from many superpowers, they would be finished, for the Bull Demon Sect was not some transcendent force!

"Enough, I’ll go in and take a look at the situation; after all, my Celestial Palace has some capabilities. If even I can’t handle it, then the Bull Demon Sect can pray for its own fortune," Emperor Rose said reluctantly.

Because this matter involved too many forces, Emperor Rose expressed that if something really happened, it could lead to chaos under the heavens.

Upon hearing this, the elder of the Bull Demon Sect was full of gratitude and kept thanking Emperor Rose with bows.

But what he didn’t know was that Emperor Rose was almost laughing out loud in his heart at this moment.

Re-entering the South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest, Emperor Rose notified the young man of the news, which left the young man stunned.

"That kid sure dares to ask — one million Astral Crystals. Even my Celestial Palace can’t afford that," the young man narrowed his eyes.

"Seems like I need to remind him; at this rate, people from the outside world might be scared to come in, and then there’d be no good show to watch."

With that, the young man plucked out one of his hairs once again, and an identical divination shadow appeared, walking towards Jiang Xiaobai in the Purple Bamboo Forest with a casual smile.

At that moment, Jiang Xiaobai was contemplating what to do after unlocking the underworld’s seal.

Whether to find a way to solve his own lifespan issue?

A year and a half of life, in this Earth Immortal realm where mere cultivation retreats can take a hundred years, was really nothing.

He truly didn’t want to die.

"Maybe that guy who just appeared knows how to solve it; he must be in league with that yellow-robed old Taoist, perhaps even a powerhouse from that era."

Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes, caught up in his thoughts, when suddenly a distant voice reached his side.

"Don’t worry about your condition; I will help you solve it."

Jiang Xiaobai was briefly taken aback, and Gu Ning and others felt their hearts skip a beat, quickly ceasing their activities to look over.

Indeed, they saw the mysterious young man again.

"Who exactly are you, really with that yellow-robed old Taoist?" Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes and asked gravely.

"It can’t be said we’re together..."

The youth spoke indifferently, "Your longevity indeed poses a big problem, but I already have some clues and it won’t be long before I can resolve it... Let’s not talk about this for now, let’s discuss the issue of your asking price."

"My suggestion is, 50,000 spiritual crystals per person."

Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes widened in astonishment: "What? How did you know about that?"

"Is it that hard for someone with my strength to know what you’ve been up to in the Bamboo Forest?"

The youth smirked gently, "They will cough up the 50,000 spiritual crystals per person. Aren’t you afraid of exposing yourself, though?"

"If I expose myself, so be it. I’ve been hunted before; no one knows better than I do how to survive being pursued."

Jiang Xiaobai said nonchalantly, "But... isn’t 50,000 spiritual crystals too little? This doesn’t fit my style, Jiang Xiaobai. 50,000 spiritual crystals – am I selling cabbages?"

Hearing this, even the youth didn’t expect such a response and was momentarily lost for words.

After a while, he awkwardly said, "The quality of the spiritual crystals from the Earth Immortal realm can match those ancient celestial crystals in your possession. Don’t take it for granted. After all, the Earth Immortal realm should be the world with the scarcest resources."

"Alright, I will resolve the issue with your lifespan. You focus on your affairs. With the underworld unsealed, you’ll be busy."

Having said that, the youth disappeared before Jiang Xiaobai had a chance to ask again.

And Jiang Xiaobai, struck as if by a thunderbolt, stood rooted to the spot for a long time, unsure of what to say.

The other party must be in cahoots with the yellow-robed Taoist, and it seems like they’re trying to help me, but in reality, they’ve got their own schemes.

It was even explicitly said that after the underworld is unsealed, there would be a lot to handle. How can he not be nervous?

"Looks like you won’t be able to relax after all."

Gu Ning’s voice also came through: "That being said, foolish disciple, you’ll have to keep a low profile from now on. Your master might also need to take care of some affairs and won’t be able to stay by your side."

After giving Jiang Xiaobai a glance, Gu Ning raised an eyebrow: "You should focus on improving your strength, so you can stand up to an Emperor. Only then can your master rest assured."

"No, master, what’s there for you to be reassured about? Even if I can fight an Emperor, I’m no match against a Supreme Being!"

Jiang Xiaobai said with a mournful face, but Gu Ning paid him no mind and instead focused his gaze on the Ninth Rank Lotus Platform.

"By then, you’ll be the benefactor of the underworld; your relations can’t be too bad. If it really comes to it, just have the underworld lend you a hand."

"..."

Jiang Xiaobai felt that his own master’s ability to take advantage of a situation was even better than his; he had never considered asking the underworld for help.

Thinking it over, it seems everything right now is a complete mess.

Qingquan, the underworld, that youth...

"Forget it, the boat will straighten when it gets to the bridgehead..."

Soon after, Jiang Xiaobai once again activated Divine Jade Willow to spread the message, but people outside were far from relieved.

The sudden reduction in the extortion demands—what did that mean?

Firstly, they ruled out that the other party was someone from within the secret realm, it must be an outsider who infiltrated and was stirring trouble through some means.

Otherwise, there’s no way they would suddenly lower their demands!

On the other hand, the Bull Demon Sect didn’t care about these details. The leading elder was looking at Emperor Rose with a grateful gaze.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help. Our Bull Demon Sect will never forget this favor in our lifetime!"

Emperor Rose, however, wore a cold smile, "I haven’t found any traces of the perpetrator. I just mentioned that he’s asking for too much."
