"Congratulations?"
"But no matter how I look at it, it doesn't seem like it." Lin Fan pretended to be in disbelief. He then looked at the Jiuxiao Sect disciples, "What did these people send to congratulate us? Tell me about it. "
Killing the chicken to warn the monkeys.
Lin Fan wasn't that bloodthirsty to the point where he would start a massacre just because of a single word of disagreement. So be it if these Grandmasters were courting death. But those disciples of theirs couldn't all be evil people.
Furthermore, things had gone well just now. A Grandmaster of a sect had jumped out as cannon fodder. Even though Lin Fan wasn't bloodthirsty, he could still casually kill anyone.
The moment the Grandmasters of the various sects heard this, their faces changed.
They had not expected the other party to ask about this.
This was especially the case for the Grandmaster who had sent a chest of gold. His face was as white as a sheet right now.
If he had known that things would turn out like this, he wouldn't have dared to send a chest of gold no matter how much guts he had.
To the commoners, gold might be precious. But to the sects, it was no different from scrap metal. It was useless.
Grandmaster Hu heaved a sigh of relief. Thinking back to the gifts they had sent, they were either jewels or gold. At the very least, he had sent a 10-year cinnabar fruit.
Just then, a Jiuxiao Sect disciple stepped forth with a face full of excitement. Looking down at the arrogant people below, he shouted out loudly.
"Red Cloud Sect, a 10-year cinnabar fruit."
"Huodao Sect, a chest of gold."
Grandmaster Hu listened to the gifts. He was at the top of the list, and a 10-year cinnabar fruit. Even though it wasn't much, compared to the other sects, it was definitely worth it.
When he heard that Grandmaster Liu had sent a chest of gold, Grandmaster Hu could not help but take a look at him. What a tragic fella.
Even though he had only sent a 10-year cinnabar fruit, in comparison, he was still much better off than them.
But at this moment, Grandmaster Hu was stumped. Why did this Jiuxiao Sect disciple only report two people? Why did he stop reporting the rest?
Grandmaster Hu was still waiting in anticipation to see what the rest of them would send. Someone seemed to have even sent a coffin. Who knew how tragic it would be later on.
At this moment, Grandmaster Hu looked at the crowd with a smile. Everyone looked back at Grandmaster Hu and Grandmaster Liu with a smile.
"Senior Brother Lin, that's all. Only Grandmaster Hu and Grandmaster Liu came forth with gifts." The Jiuxiao Sect disciple reported.
The moment Grandmaster Hu heard these words, he was completely stumped. How could this be? Previously, when they were chatting casually, everyone had talked about what they had given. How could it be just him and Sect Leader Liu?
"What? Everyone said that they wanted to congratulate him, but why didn't they even give him a gift? Are you looking down on Jiuxiao Sect? "Lin Fan's tone was calm. But in the ears of everyone present, it was cold and chilling, causing them to panic.
"No, that's not it. We haven't given him our gift yet. We've been keeping it here all this while. We were prepared to hand it over to Grandmaster Xin personally after the event." The Grandmasters of the various sects replied hurriedly. At the same time, they heaved out a sigh of relief. That was close! Thankfully, they hadn't sent any gifts when they came earlier. Otherwise, it would have been a tragedy.
Initially, they had thought that Jiuxiao Sect was already a piece of meat on the chopping board. Where would they find the time to send any gifts?
But when Grandmaster Hu and the rest were talking about gifts, they seemed to be comparing whose gifts were worth less. Naturally, they were just spouting nonsense as well.
In fact, one of the Grandmasters had even mentioned a coffin and received the acknowledgment of the other Grandmasters.
But now that things had changed, they were extremely thankful.
As for Grandmaster Hu and Grandmaster Liu, they knew that both of them were going to be in for a tragedy.
"Oh, that works too. But what's up with Grandmaster Hu and Grandmaster Liu? A 10-year Cinnabar Fruit and a chest of gold? Are they trying to humiliate my brothers? How about this, I'll hand out the gifts on your behalf? "Lin Fan looked straight at the both of them.
Suddenly, Grandmaster Hu's face changed. He glared at the disciples behind him and barked.
"Who took the wrong thing?!"
The disciples of Red Cloud Sect looked at one another. Finally, a quick-witted disciple stood out and cried, "Grandmaster, I took the wrong thing! You asked me to take a 10,000-year Cinnabar Fruit, but I was blind and took a 10-year one! Please don't be angry, Grandmaster!"
Seeing that there was a disciple who stood out, Grandmaster Hu's heart was filled with gratitude. At the same time, he memorized the face of this disciple and was prepared to reward him properly when he got back. But when he heard the latter half of the sentence, Grandmaster Hu nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
10,000-year Cinnabar Fruit?
Holy f * ck …!
A 10-year Cinnabar Fruit wasn't worth much. A 100-year Cinnabar Fruit was worth some money. A thousand-year Cinnabar Fruit was worth a few times more than that! And now, there was a 10,000-year Cinnabar Fruit!
Grandmaster Hu's body was trembling uncontrollably. But he did not dare to say it out loud. Instead, he shot a glance at the disciple, hinting him not to say 10,000-year Cinnabar Fruit.
Perhaps the disciple did not understand the meaning behind Grandmaster's glance. Thinking that Grandmaster Hu had said too little, he sighed in his heart. The Grandmaster was really generous.
"Wrong, wrong …!" The disciple cried out once more.
The moment Grandmaster Hu heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. Not bad, smart enough.
"It's not one 10,000-year Cinnabar Fruit. It's two."
Regaining his composure, Grandmaster Hu felt his blood rush up the moment he heard this. But he swallowed it back down.
Two 10,000-year Cinnabar Fruits …! This …!
"Grandmaster Hu, you're too courteous." Lin Fan spoke up.
Lin Fan knew that Glory Sect had 10,000-year Cinnabar Fruits as well. But not many, just four.
They were extremely precious items.
Grandmaster Hu felt as though he was about to die. But he could only bite the bullet and reply, "Not at all, not at all. It's what I should do, what I should do."
Looking at how generous Grandmaster Hu was, the other Grandmasters were stumped as well.
Two 10,000-year Cinnabar Fruits? That was no joke!
Could it be that Red Cloud Sect was going to sell everything they had?
How were they supposed to present their gifts later on?
"Grandmaster Liu, this chest of gold of yours is pretty decent …!" Lin Fan turned his gaze towards Grandmaster Liu once more.
Grandmaster Liu was flustered as well. Turning around, he looked at the disciples behind him.
But one of the disciples stood out on his own accord. Grandmaster Liu nodded his head in gratitude.
"Grandmaster, I must have heard wrongly! You asked me to give you a chest of Yellow Goblins, but I heard it as a chest of gold …!"
'URGH …! '
Before the disciple could finish his words, Grandmaster Liu spat out a mouthful of blood and nearly fainted onto the ground.
If not for the fact that someone was supporting him from the side, he might have fainted by now.
Looking at the scene before him, Lin Fan was laughing out loud in his heart, "Grandmaster Liu, why are you spitting out blood?"
"I'm so happy that I'm about to spit out blood. Congratulations on your ascension, Grandmaster Xin!" Grandmaster Liu heaved a sigh of relief. In his heart, he wanted to chop this disciple into pieces. Wasn't this a spy sent by the other party?
A chest of Yellow Goblins! What did that represent? If he were to exchange it for the resources of Huodao Sect, that would be a full 10% of their resources!
"Yes, I've got to thank Grandmaster Liu for that. Brother Xinfeng, I'll leave the rest to you." Lin Fan chuckled.
"Alright." Xinfeng looked at Lin Fan gratefully. That single look of his was filled with a myriad of emotions.
At this moment, all the other Grandmasters were pondering in their hearts. The gifts given by these two men were each more vicious than the other. What should they do?
Bloody hell! They had thought that they were here to split up their territories. But now, they were here to spit out blood and give gifts? This … this was way too drastic of a change, wasn't it?
But those people from Glory Sect were extremely horrifying. They weren't people they could afford to offend.
