Upon hearing the tall old man's words, countless pairs of eyes instantly focused on Xie Wuji. Xie Wuji felt as though there was a prickle on his back, and he felt as though he was sitting on a bed of needles.
Xie Wuji realized that he had done a stupid thing, a stupid thing from start to finish.
In truth, he shouldn't have openly recruited the two old men in the first place. He only thought that after recruiting the two old men, he would be able to reduce the number of casualties on his side. Then, he would be able to quickly kill Xiao Fan and snatch the Heavenly Sparrow Longevity Stone and Absolute Dragon Tree.
However, he did not expect that after recruiting them, the tall old man and the hunchbacked old man would agree on the surface, but in reality, they had other intentions. What should he do?
When the time came, he would not be able to guard against the tall old man and the hunchbacked old man. It would be really difficult for him to advance or retreat!
Moreover, what was worse was that there was no turning back now. How could he take back the words that had been said in front of everyone?
Could it be that he had to put down his old face, lie on the ground, and take back the words that he had said?
Xie Wuji would never do something so shameful as to embarrass himself.
There was a moment of silence!
"Alright, since the two seniors are willing to become the Grand Guest Elders of our five factions, it is our honor. We can't ask for more!" Xie Wuji was momentarily at a loss when the tall old man and the hunchbacked old man suddenly agreed. However, he quickly calmed down and came up with a plan in his heart. Immediately, a slight smile appeared on his face again as he bowed slightly towards the tall old man and the hunchbacked old man. At the same time, his mouth carried a trace of respect as he opened his mouth and spoke.
"That's more like it!" The tall old man nodded when he saw Xie Wuji's reaction. There was a trace of satisfaction on his face as he spoke.
"Then, please …" Xie Wuji opened his mouth again. He wanted to say something but was interrupted.
"Don't be in such a hurry. We haven't finished stating our conditions!" The hunchbacked old man said.
"Senior, please state your conditions!" Xie Wuji smiled and nodded.
"Becoming a Supreme Guest Elder of the five major forces and enjoying all the cultivation resources of the five major forces is not bad, but it's still not enough!" The hunchback old man demanded an exorbitant price, "Because to put it bluntly, the two conditions are just empty words. You can see them but you can't touch them. What I want now is something that I can get my hands on!"
"Then what else does Senior want?" Xie Wuji slowly opened his mouth and said in a serious tone.
"I heard that your Bai Xie Family has a Pure Yang Lingzhi. This Pure Yang Lingzhi is not bad. I want it now!" The hunchbacked old man said with an unquestionable tyrannical voice.
Hearing the hunchbacked old man's words, Xie Wuji's expression immediately changed. He immediately opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the hunchbacked old man.
"Don't tell me you don't have it. I know very well that this Pure Yang Lingzhi is in the hands of your Baixie Family!" The hunchbacked old man said coldly, "Moreover, I know that although the Pure Yang Lingzhi is precious to your Baixie Family, it's not something that you can't give up. If you give me the Pure Yang Lingzhi, you can definitely do it and you can definitely afford it!"
"If you wish to recruit us, you must show some sincerity. Back then, Xiao Fan had also paid a huge price in order to bribe the two of us. If you wish to recruit us with just a few empty promises, aren't we two old fellows a little too worthless?" The tall and big old man by the side also opened his mouth and spoke in a cold voice.
"Moreover, don't be hasty. I haven't finished stating my conditions. The Pure Yang Lingzhi is only one of them. Other than the Pure Yang Lingzhi, I also want a hundred Golden Frost Cicadas, a hundred drops of Spiritual Snow Milk, a hundred Fire Cloud Stones, a hundred Blue Flame Flowers …!" The hunchbacked old man continued to speak. He listed more than thirty rare heavenly treasures in a row before he finally finished.
The surroundings were completely silent. Everyone was dumbfounded as they stared at the hunchbacked old man. Even Xie Wuji was completely dumbfounded by the hunchbacked old man's exorbitant demand.
However, it wasn't over yet!
"The five of you will each get two portions of these items. I will get one portion and the old zombie will get one portion. As long as you agree, we can help you take down Xiao Fan right now!" The hunchbacked old man continued to speak. His voice reverberated in the ears of everyone on the battlefield for a long time.
"A hundred Golden Frost Cicadas, a hundred drops of Spiritual Snow Milk, a hundred Fire Cloud Stones, a hundred Blue Flame Flowers … a total of more than thirty heavenly treasures. Moreover, each family has to provide two portions!"
The hunchbacked old man's request caused everyone to fall into a deep silence.
"Don't be hasty. There's more!" The hunchbacked old man chuckled and spoke again. Then, under the dumbfounded gazes of Xie Wuji and the other people from the five major forces, he continued to speak. "I heard that there is an incomparably magical Sun Moon Tree growing in the Misty Peak? The old zombie and I want ten Sun Moon Fruits each! "
"The headquarters of the Ravenous Wolf Sect has a Blood Soul Sword that once belonged to the Myriad Sword Sect? The old zombie and I will make do. The two of us can use one sword. "
"The main sect of the Guanghan Holy Grounds has a thousand-year-old mysterious snake underground? After so many years, it should have laid quite a number of eggs, right? Then the old zombie and I will take three snake eggs each! "
"The Qin Sect has two pieces of Dragon King Armor? Just nice. You guys don't need it. Since it's just sitting there, why don't you give it to us? The old zombie and I can take one each! "
On the battlefield, even the sound of a needle dropping on the ground could be heard.
The hunchbacked old man's exorbitant demand caused everyone to lose their ability to speak.
"Senior, isn't your request a little too much …?" Xie Wuji recovered from his shock. His face was very dark as he spoke.
"Think carefully before you speak!" The hunchbacked old man interrupted Xie Wuji for the third time and said rudely, "These things are indeed quite a lot. However, you really can't afford it? You really can't bear to part with it? "
"Go back and do some calculations. Is the price of these things higher or is it the price of attacking the mountain later? Think carefully before you speak to me! "
After saying that, the hunchbacked old man was too lazy to speak. He stood proudly in the air and closed his eyes.
"Didn't you just say that all the cultivation resources in the five major forces are free for us to use? What? Aren't these the cultivation resources that you promised? You're not willing just because of this? " The tall old man deliberately mocked Xie Wuji. He sneered and said to Xie Wuji, "So what you said just now was just nonsense?"
Xie Wuji did not speak, but his gaze turned serious.
"Seniors, please wait for a moment!" After a moment of silence, Xie Wuji suddenly spoke. After saying that, he did not wait for the tall old man and the hunchbacked old man's reaction and immediately flew back to discuss with the other representatives of the five major forces.
The tall old man did not mind. He stood proudly in the air with the hunchbacked old man and closed his eyes without speaking.
On the peak of Tianfeng Mountain, Xiao Fan and the rest were not in a hurry. They wore strange smiles as they watched the situation develop.
In the distant crowd!
"Frost Golden Cicada, Snow Spiritual Milk, Fire Cloud Stone, Blue Flame Flower, Pure Yang Lingzhi, Sun Moon Fruit, Blood Soul Sword, Thousand Year Black Snake Egg, Dragon King Armor. This is simply … f * ck!" Someone was flabbergasted and could not help but cry out. He could not accurately express it with words, so he could only use the word "f * ck" to describe the indescribable feeling in his heart.
"If these things are given to me, then …!" Someone thought as saliva began to drip from the corner of his mouth.
"Wake up!" Someone immediately shook the person who was dreaming in an extremely cruel manner.
"Do you think the five major forces will agree?" Someone asked in a serious tone.
"I don't think it's likely that they'll agree, because everyone can see that the betrayal of these two lords might not be true. The five major forces aren't fools. If they hand over these treasures, what if these two lords immediately betray them?" someone said.
"But the betrayal of these two lords may not be completely false. There is a possibility that it is true. Because in this day and age, as long as you are willing to pay the price, there is nothing that can't be bought!" Someone shook his head and objected.
"That's right!" This sentence received the agreement of many people. Many people said in a sorrowful manner.
"If we say that these two lords are fake, it is true that they only care about money and not people. They are extremely greedy. But if we say that they are real, they betrayed us too quickly!" Someone frowned and said, "So the overall feeling is half true and half false. It is really hard to say whether they are real or fake!"
"Let's see. Anyway, we are not the ones who have a headache. Heh!" Someone gloated and looked in the direction of the Misty Peak, Guanghan Sacred Ground, and the other major forces in the distance.
Everyone stopped talking and looked into the distance with curiosity. They did not know what choice the Misty Peak, Guanghan Sacred Ground, and the other major forces would make in the end.
.....
"I don't agree!" Goddess Qianyu's eyes were cold. She shook her head and said in a very determined voice, "We don't need to agree with them. Let's just use our trump card and kill them!"
"But even if we use our trump card, we will have to pay a corresponding price. And the price will be much higher than these treasures!" A big shot from the Greedy Wolf Faction glanced at Goddess Qianyu and said lightly.
"That's right!" Many people agreed with the words of this big shot from the Greedy Wolf Faction.
"Then what if they accept our treasures and betray us?" Goddess Qianyu retorted.
Suddenly, Saintess Ming Yu said, "If they dare to betray us, then we will use our trump card and kill them. As long as we kill them, those treasures will still be ours. They can't run away!"
"Saintess Ming Yu is right!" Hearing Saintess Ming Yu's words, many people immediately nodded and agreed.
