Chapter 259: Offending Over Thirty Families and Forces! Helian Xianyun Offers Herself!
The crowd below finally reacted.
Earlier, they had promised to hand over their Condensed Dan Purple Qi, which was why Qin Wang had not attacked them.
Now was the time for Qin Wang to collect the Condensed Dan Purple Qi.
Many had resigned themselves to their fate.
After all, as long as they were still alive, there was still hope.
Even without the Condensed Dan Purple Qi, with their talents and family support, they could still condense a Golden Core; it was just a matter of time.
But some still felt reluctant.
“Qin Tiedan, we know you’re strong. But with so many of us here, each backed by our own families and forces, could you show us some leniency and accept only five strands of Condensed Dan Purple Qi from each of us?”
Someone mustered the courage to negotiate.
After all, even if Qin Wang was powerful enough to kill them, the presence of over fifty people represented nearly thirty families and forces.
Such a vast network of power would not be underestimated even by the top sects of the Central Continent.
Perhaps they could persuade Qin Wang to make some concessions?
With this thought in mind, the crowd's mood became lively.
“Qin Tiedan, if you give us some face, you’ll be our eternal friend.”
“Yes, enemies are better resolved than held grudges. Please consider the consequences.”
“I promise, if you leave me some Condensed Dan Purple Qi, the Xu family of the Central Continent will recognize you as a friend.”
“Qin Tiedan, I…”
One after another, they spoke up.
Helian Xianyun blinked, curiously watching Qin Wang. She wanted to see what decision he would make.
Inside the golden shield.
Xiao Chunan saw this and burst into laughter.
“Hahaha, Qin Tiedan, so you’re just a bully who’s afraid of power. Hahaha. If you’re really capable, you’d offend them all. What’s thirty families and forces to you? Are you scared?”
Xiao Chunan said loudly.
Hearing Xiao Chunan’s words, the faces of the crowd turned extremely ugly.
Clearly, Xiao Chunan was deliberately trying to provoke Qin Wang, aiming to make him offend all thirty families and forces.
Such words would only push Qin Wang into a bottomless abyss.
But for the crowd below, it was damaging their interests!
At this moment, Qin Wang chuckled lightly.
“What qualifications do you have to be friends with me, Qin Tiedan? Hand over the Condensed Dan Purple Qi, and you may leave. If you don’t, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Qin Wang said calmly.
The crowd didn’t expect Qin Wang to be so bold, making it clear he was prepared to be enemies with all of them.
Helian Xianyun’s eyes burned with admiration as she looked at Qin Wang.
At this moment, she knew that Qin Wang was the person she had been waiting for.
“Alright, I’ll hand it over.”
Helian Xianyun spoke first.
She extended her right hand and gently waved it, sending twenty-eight strands of Condensed Dan Purple Qi towards Qin Wang.
“Hmm?”
Qin Wang caught the twenty-eight strands of Condensed Dan Purple Qi, surprised.
So many?
It seemed that this wasn’t all collected by Helian Xianyun alone; perhaps it included other people’s goodwill and gifts as well.
Now, these twenty-eight strands of Condensed Dan Purple Qi all fell into his hands.
With Helian Xianyun taking the lead in handing over the Condensed Dan Purple Qi, the others had no choice but to comply.
One by one, they took out their Condensed Dan Purple Qi and handed it over to Qin Wang.
At this moment, one of the False Core cultivators couldn’t resist his greed and, while Qin Wang was collecting the Condensed Dan Purple Qi from others, he used a Blood Escape Technique to flee.
Boom!!!
The blood mist exploded, and the False Core cultivator shot away like a blood-red meteor, fleeing into the distance.
“Trying to run?”
Qin Wang chuckled lightly, pointing his finger like a sword at the escaping False Core cultivator.
A blue ghostly sword shot out.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the blue ghostly sword crossed the space barrier, arriving behind the False Core cultivator and piercing through his chest.
The False Core cultivator looked down, incredulous, at the gaping hole in his chest, then fell to the ground, dying with his eyes wide open.
Seeing this, the others became even more obedient.
Qin Wang was incredibly powerful, possessing both ghostly protection and a treasure capable of killing beyond their level.
Soon, everyone had handed over their Condensed Dan Purple Qi and turned to leave.
Qin Wang did not stop them.
He wasn’t a bloodthirsty maniac; since they had already handed over the Condensed Dan Purple Qi, they were free to leave.
A total of twenty-nine people handed over their Condensed Dan Purple Qi, representing twenty-nine families and forces.
Including the person who fled, those Qin Wang had killed earlier, and the Wujimen behind Xiao Chunan.
Qin Wang realized that he had offended thirty-seven forces in the Central Continent, each as powerful as the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty from the Southern Region, with some even several times stronger.
So what?
This was the cruel reality of the cultivation world.
If one were to follow the rules and cultivate in a straightforward manner, without seizing resources, they might never even establish a foundation before dying.
Xiao Chunan stared blankly at Qin Wang.
Such audacity and recklessness.
It was clear that Qin Wang's backing must be immensely powerful.
Had he known this would be the case, he would never have provoked Qin Wang.
Soon, only Qin Wang, Helian Xianyun, and Xiao Chunan, trapped inside the golden shield, remained.
Xiao Chunan was unable to leave due to his confinement in the shield.
Helian Xianyun, however, chose not to leave.
Helian Xianyun’s guardian was an old woman.
The old woman’s expression was emotionless, her eyes vacant.
“Miss, we should leave.”
The old woman said in a raspy voice.
“I’m not leaving.”
Helian Xianyun shook her head.
The old woman did not say anything further, simply standing quietly by her side.
“Should I call you Qin Tiedan, or something else?”
Helian Xianyun looked at Qin Wang.
“Hmm?”
Qin Wang raised an eyebrow, looking at Helian Xianyun with interest.
Curious to see what she would say.
“If you have something to say, just say it directly. No need to beat around the bush.”
Qin Wang said calmly.
“I want to ask you for a favor.”
Helian Xianyun said directly.
“What favor?”
Qin Wang raised his eyebrows, growing more curious.
“This matter cannot be discussed yet, as I don’t know if you can withstand the retaliation from the Wujimen.”
Helian Xianyun shook her head.
“However, if you help me, I can offer a reward. My reward is myself.”
Helian Xianyun slightly puffed out her chest, adding.
Originally, Helian Xianyun’s figure was already very perfect. Now, as she deliberately puffed out her chest, she appeared even more seductive.
Even Qin Wang couldn’t help but feel a bit tempted.
Indeed, a stunning beauty.
“Miss!”
The previously calm old woman whispered urgently.
She was about to act, trying to forcibly take Helian Xianyun away.
But Helian Xianyun spoke up directly.
“Qin Tiedan, please kill her.”
With this statement, both the old woman and Qin Wang were stunned.
No one expected Helian Xianyun to be so reckless.
The old woman reacted first. Without hesitation, she kneeled on the ground.
“Please spare me, and the Helian family will definitely reward you generously.”
The old woman begged.
Qin Wang remained noncommittal.
But he pointed his finger lightly at the old woman.
Whoosh!
The blue ghostly sword instantly pierced through the old woman’s forehead. A Golden Core attempting to escape was also captured and devoured by the Five Ghosts as if it were a morsel of food.
At this moment, Xiao Chunan finally came to his senses.
“Witch!!!! You’re a witch!!!!!!”
Xiao Chunan yelled at Helian Xianyun in fury.
He never imagined that Helian Xianyun, whom he hadn’t even held hands with, would offer him as a reward to Qin Wang.
This was even more unbearable than being killed.
