Although the Yin Yang Sect elders were so angry that their lungs were about to explode, they had no choice but to hand over 950 high-grade Origin Stones obediently.
"Elders, I'm looking forward to our next meeting."
After the bandit leader received the high-grade Origin Stones, he looked at the two Yin Yang Sect elders with a smile on his face. He looked extremely friendly as if he was a friend of the latter.
Hearing the bandit leader's words, the two Yin Yang Sect elders were so angry that they gritted their teeth. Their faces were flushed, and their chests rose and fell like bellows. They could not calm down for a long time.
"Young man, farewell."
Following that, the bandit leader glanced at Duan Lingtian who closed his eyes and ignored the surroundings. After that, he led the group of bandits back to their small swift boat and flew away.
At the same time, the Yin Yang Sect's swift boat regained its peace.
Apart from Duan Lingtian who sat there with his eyes closed and Feng Tianwu who sat quietly beside Duan Lingtian, the rest of the people present, including Xiong Quan, could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
The atmosphere just now was so oppressive that they could barely breathe.
Now, the rain was finally over!
"Young Master, can you tell what the cultivation base of those bandits are?"
Xiong Quan asked softly as he looked at Duan Lingtian.
In his eyes.
His Young Master had a unique vision. He could often accurately see through a person's cultivation base.
"With their strength, if Tian Wu and I did not make a move, we would definitely lose even if you helped those two old men!"
Duan Lingtian answered Xiong Quan sideways.
"Then …"
Xiong Quan was puzzled. Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Duan Lingtian. "You want to ask me why I didn't make a move … right?"
"Yes."
Xiong Quan nodded.
"Since they can solve the problem with Origin Stones, why should I make a move? Don't tell me that I can still earn those 1,000 high-grade Origin Stones if I make a move? "
Duan Lingtian rolled his eyes at Xiong Quan when he reached the end of his sentence.
Xiong Quan was stunned when he heard that.
He had never thought that his Young Master would think this way. He immediately smiled bitterly to himself, "Young Master is Young Master. His thoughts are never something that I can understand."
At this moment, the faces of the two Yin Yang Sect elders were still as gloomy as ever. One of them went back to the front of the swift boat and started it up.
Whoosh!
The flying boat broke through the air and continued its journey.
"I'm sure everyone saw what happened just now."
At this moment, another Yin Yang Sect elder who was not controlling the swift boat looked around and said in a deep voice.
As soon as the words left the Yin Yang Sect elder's mouth, many people's expressions changed.
"Don't tell me you want us to fork out the 950 high-grade Primordial Stones?"
Soon, someone guessed with an ugly expression.
"Wouldn't it be too ridiculous for us to contribute? It's obvious that they don't have the ability to protect us, which is why they have to pay the 'toll fee' to the bandits. "
Many people looked dissatisfied and angry.
If there was anyone present who was relatively calm, it would be Duan Lingtian.
The faint indifference on Duan Lingtian's face made it seem as if he had expected this to happen.
"Hurmph!"
The Yin Yang Sect elder snorted coldly. After his thunderous voice drowned out the noise in the swift boat, he said in a deep voice, "All of you are only paying the transportation fee for riding our Yin Yang Sect's swift boat to the Inner Land.
What you just paid is the fee for your survival! If you don't pay, not only us, but all of you will die too!
Who dares to deny this?! "
When the Yin Yang Sect elder reached the end of his sentence, there was a hint of anger in his tone.
For a moment, the entire swift boat was silent.
Although many people were still angry, they did not dare to say anything now for fear of angering the Yin Yang Sect elder in front of them.
"Elder, how much does each of us have to pay?"
Someone asked, asking the question that was on everyone's mind.
"I've calculated … There's a total of 73 people on the swift boat. Everyone just has to pay 15 high-grade Primordial Stones."
The Yin Yang Sect elder said.
73 people?
No one had to pay 15 high-grade Primordial Stones?
For a moment, many people's expressions changed.
If they really paid, not only would they pay the toll that they paid to the bandits earlier, but the Yin Yang Sect elder would also earn over 100 high-grade Primordial Stones.
Many people wanted to say something, but they immediately noticed the Yin Yang Sect elder's sharp gaze that swept over them. Each and every one of them was like an eggplant that had been hit by frost, completely deflated.
For a moment, the entire swift boat fell into a dead silence.
"Elder, I don't have 15 high-grade Primordial Stones with me."
A sudden voice broke the dead silence in the swift boat. It was a middle-aged man who said to the Yin Yang Sect elder helplessly.
"You don't have 15 high-grade Primordial Stones? Are you sure? "
The Yin Yang Sect elder's face turned grave. His eyes gleamed coldly as he asked sternly.
"Elder, I really don't have that many high-grade Primordial Stones … If you don't believe me, I can remove the ownership of the Spatial Ring and show you."
As the middle-aged man spoke, he was about to take off the Spatial Ring on his finger.
"There's no need!"
The Yin Yang Sect elder opened his mouth to stop him.
"There's no need?"
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up. He thought the Yin Yang Sect elder pitied him and did not intend to take his share of high-grade Primordial Stones.
However, was there such a good thing in the world?
The answer was no.
Just when he was about to express his gratitude, he saw a flash in front of his eyes. Another person appeared in front of him.
When he took a closer look, was that not the Yin Yang Sect elder?
Before he could react, he felt a heart-wrenching pain coming from his lower abdomen. It was so painful that he did not even have the time to scream before he completely lost consciousness.
Bang!
At the same time, a loud sound reverberated in the air, causing the group of people in the swift boat to look over.
The scene before their eyes caused horror to appear on their faces.
They saw the Yin Yang Sect elder casually destroying the middle-aged man's Dantian with a punch. When the middle-aged man fainted from the pain, he grabbed his arm and threw him out of the swift boat.
When the middle-aged man was thrown out of the swift boat, he was instantly awakened by the piercing wind. When he realized what was going on, he was already falling toward the surface of the Ruo Shui River.
"Ahhh!"
All the people in the swift boat heard was a short-lived scream that came to an abrupt end.
At once, the swift boat fell into a dead silence again.
Cold sweat broke out on many people's foreheads.
"What a good move!"
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes and looked at the Yin Yang Sect elder who threw the middle-aged man out of the swift boat with interest.
He could tell that the Yin Yang Sect elder did it on purpose.
His ulterior motive was not in the wine!
As expected, after the Yin Yang Sect elder's deterrence, the remaining people completely lost their temper. One by one, they handed over the high-grade Origin Stones obediently.
After a while, only Duan Lingtian's group of three and the old man who was sitting opposite Duan Lingtian and the other two had not handed over their Origin Stones.
Seeing the Yin Yang Sect elder walking over, the old man hurriedly took out fifteen high-grade Origin Stones and was about to hand them over.
"Wait a minute."
At this moment, Duan Lingtian opened his mouth to stop the old man.
"Huh?"
The old man looked at Duan Lingtian with a puzzled expression. He did not know what Duan Lingtian was trying to do.
"Elder, I saved 50 high-grade Origin Stones for you earlier … The four of us shouldn't have to hand it over, right?"
Duan Lingtian asked as he looked deeply at the Yin Yang Sect elder.
Whoosh!
The moment Duan Lingtian's words left his mouth, before the Yin Yang Sect elder could respond, the people on the swift boat burst into an uproar.
"H-He bargained with the bandit leader just now so that he doesn't have to hand over the high-grade Origin Stones now?"
"He already guessed that the Yin Yang Sect elder would ask us to hand over the high-grade Origin Stones?"
"What a terrifying person! At that time, he still has the time to think about these things. "
…
Many people sucked in a cold breath.
Faced with Duan Lingtian's question, the Yin Yang Sect elder ignored it as though he did not hear him at all. He continued to look at the man. "Are you sure you don't want to hand it over?"
"I'll hand it over! I'll hand it over! "
Seeing the cold gleam in the Yin Yang Sect elder's eyes, the old man panicked. He hurriedly handed over the fifteen high-grade Origin Stones in his hand.
It was only when the old man handed over the Origin Stones that Duan Lingtian finally regained his senses. His face darkened.
He did not expect this Yin Yang Sect elder to be so greedy!
He had already said so much, but he still wanted to force the old man to hand over the high-grade Origin Stones.
"The three of you … Forty-five high-grade Origin Stones."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Yin Yang Sect elder looked at Duan Lingtian and the other two again and said calmly.
Although his tone was calm, there was an unquestionable tone in his voice.
"Forty-five high-grade Origin Stones?"
Duan Lingtian looked at the Yin Yang Sect elder who was just inches away from him and sneered, "Is there something wrong with your ears? I've already said that I've already saved you 50 high-grade Origin Stones! "
"That's a separate matter … Now, everyone has handed it over except for the three of you? Do you think that's possible? "
The Yin Yang Sect elder sneered as well. A terrifying gleam flashed in the depth of his eyes. It was as though he would attack Duan Lingtian and the other two at any moment.
That was exactly what he had in mind.
He had long wanted to kill the three people in front of him and snatch the 'wealth' left behind by the Gold-Devouring Organization. It was just that he could not find an opportunity or an excuse to do so.
After all, if he had killed the three of them earlier, it would undoubtedly be telling everyone that the Yin Yang Sect was intentionally condoning the Gold-Devouring Organization's scams.
If that was the case, the Yin Yang Sect's image and reputation would definitely be destroyed!
However, it was different now. He had found an opportunity and an excuse.
Right now, he could not wait for the three of them to refuse to hand over the forty-five high-grade Origin Stones. In that case, he would have an excuse to kill the three of them and throw them out of the swift boat.
"Don't be too greedy as a person! You must know when to stop. "
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes. A cold gleam flashed across his eyes. He deliberately lowered his voice, and it was obvious that he was enraged.
"Refuse to hand it over?"
The Yin Yang Sect elder laughed. He laughed wantonly.
He had finally found his chance!
Just when the Yin Yang Sect elder standing in front of Duan Lingtian was about to kill Duan Lingtian and snatch the Spatial Ring in his hand before throwing Duan Lingtian out of the swift boat …
"Damn it!"
