Blackmail!
Qin Xiao and Lin Xian both thought of the same thing. This situation was clearly a premeditated blackmail.
The human heart was not what it used to be, and it was hard to fathom. Without experience, it was easy to lose out.
Lin Xian guessed what was going on, but it was hard to explain. Plus, this was Flat Demon City. Anyone who could open a shop in Flat Demon City was a capable person, and definitely had a powerful faction backing him.
Lin Xian didn't dare offend such a person.
Therefore, he thought for a moment and said, "Shop owner, my brother is an honest man. He won't lie. If he really did damage it, he will admit it. "
"There must be some misunderstanding here. I think —"
However, the shop owner didn't give Lin Xian a chance to finish. He waved his hand at Lin Xian and said angrily, "Hmph, of course you're lying for him. An honest man? You are just a bunch of barbarians who came from the mountains. None of you have seen much of the world.
You're the most dishonest of all.
I've seen too many people like you who pretend to be honest. You just don't want to pay up. "
"You guys look decent, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless. You dare to do it, but you don't dare admit it. I feel ashamed for you."
Being wronged by the shop owner, A Xiao panicked and hurriedly explained, "I didn't, I really didn't. I swear, I didn't. "
"Pfft, swear? How much is that thing worth? "The shop owner blocked A Xiao's words with one sentence.
Everyone was anxious and angry. They'd run into an unreasonable shop owner.
They were clearly trying to bully them. But now that they had entered the Flat Demon City, they were in other people's territory. So what?
Lin Xian said, "Shop owner, you can't say that. If you did it, you did it. If you didn't do it, you didn't do it. If you don't believe me, I can have A Xiao swear to the heavens with his soul. There's no problem at all. "
"Cut the crap. I don't believe a word you say."
"We've always valued integrity when doing business. Our reputation is our foundation."
"My shop has been here for several universe epochs and I've never done any dishonest business."
"You guys broke it, so you guys broke it. You can't deny it even if you want to."
"In short, if you know what's good for you, pay up quickly. If you pay up, I'll let you leave. "
"I've seen too many little sluts like you. Don't play this old-fashioned game with me. I'm not buying it."
The shopkeeper waved his hand and ignored Lin Xian's words. This made Lin Xian even more certain that this was a trap set up by the shopkeeper in advance to blackmail them.
She could only blame Ah Xiao's bad luck for falling into the shop owner's trap. Now, she really couldn't defend herself.
Moreover, the shop owner was obviously trying to intimidate them. More than a dozen shop assistants also walked up aggressively.
The shopkeeper was also a Second Step Heavenly Venerable Realm Human Immortal, and there were more than ten waiters.
Although they didn't have an advantage in terms of numbers compared to Qin Xiao's group, these people were from Flat Demon City. They were in their territory, so they naturally had an invisible support.
Moreover, it was obvious that the shopkeeper only needed to call for help and there would definitely be many helpers coming over.
This was bullying the customers.
Such a scene pressured the people of High Mountain Town until they didn't know what to do.
They definitely couldn't fight head-on. They would suffer a great loss.
A Xiao looked like he hated himself to death. If he hadn't touched it, this wouldn't have happened.
However, it was too late to say all this now.
Everyone looked at Lin Xian and Qin Xiao. What should they do now?
Lin Xian gritted her teeth and said helplessly, "Alright, we'll compensate you. However, let me make it clear first. I'm only compensating you because I can't explain things clearly to you. I'm not certain that we broke it. We'll take it as our purchase. "
The shopkeeper sneered. "Hehe, you young people like to play with empty words."
"I'm running a business. I don't want to make things too awkward. As long as you're willing to compensate, you can say whatever you want. I don't care about anything else."
"This Seven Treasures Glazed Jade Carving is the work of a top sculptor. It's an extremely precious work of art that has existed for tens of thousands of epochs."
"It's extremely rare for it to be preserved in such perfect condition."
"This item is extremely precious. It's the treasure of my shop. I'm only willing to take it out because it's for this big market. I wouldn't be willing to take it out otherwise. "
Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Lin Xian's expression immediately turned cold and gloomy.
Obviously, this was a huge trap.
Lin Xian had originally thought that if the shopkeeper's demands weren't too harsh, just a few hundred Chaos Source Rocks, she would grit her teeth and bear with it.
But looking at the situation, the situation did not look good.
Lin Xian couldn't suppress her anger any longer. She said coldly, "Just tell us how much you want us to compensate. You don't have to be so fancy. You're the one who says everything. We don't know. "
The shopkeeper's fox tail finally showed itself. He extended a finger toward Lin Xian and smiled meaningfully.
"A thousand?" Lin Xian asked with a frown. However, her instincts told her that it wouldn't be that simple.
If it was that number, it would be too much.
It was just that bad things often happened.
After Lin Wan asked, the shop owner shook his head with a cold smile and said, "Ten thousand chaos source stones. Look at how poor you guys are. I'll be merciful and give you a nine percent discount. Consider it my bad luck. You guys can pay nine thousand nine hundred chaos source stones."
"This price is already very generous. This is the treasure of my shop. In the past, I couldn't bear to sell it even if someone offered me 10,000 Chaos Source Rocks. "
9,900 Chaos Source Rocks?
What was the difference between that and 10,000 Chaos Source Rocks? How could he act so benevolent? Could he be any more shameless?
Hearing this astronomical figure, the people of High Mountain Town were dumbfounded. It was as if they had been struck by lightning. Some of them felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
What kind of joke was this?
10,000 Chaos Source Rocks?
How was this extortion? How was this robbery? It was simply a death sentence. The moment he opened his mouth, he wanted to kill him. He didn't care about the life and death of others.
Ten thousand Chaos Source Stones were enough to purchase a mid-grade immortal artifact. No matter how one looked at it, the so-called Seven Treasures Glazed Jade Carving looked like an ordinary carving. No matter how good the quality of the carving was, it would not be worth so many Chaos Source Stones.
10,000 Chaos Source Rocks was a sky-high price.
Many third-step Heavenly Venerates couldn't even fork out 10,000 Chaos Source Rocks.
Lin Xian, who had been enduring silently, couldn't take it anymore. She was furious.
"100 Chaos Source Rocks is a price higher than that. We can't afford it."
"Thank you for thinking so highly of us. Do you really think that we can fork out 10,000 Chaos Source Rocks?"
"I'll say it again. If we didn't break the item, we didn't break it. If you want to bully us, I can admit defeat. However, it has to be within my means. "
"If it's beyond my means, I'd rather die than submit. I won't tolerate it."
"You're a smart man, but we're not fools. I think we know very well what's going on."
"You're strong and your shop is big. I admit that you're bullying us outsiders."
"However, if you want to kill us, I'm sorry. We can only fight with our lives."
"I've already made it very clear. If it's more than 100 Chaos Source Rocks, we won't pay."
"Shop owner, if you have any requests, just come at us. We're prepared to fight to the death."
Lin Xian had no other choice. She was really at her wits' end.
Under such circumstances, she could only retaliate in such a way.
She could only fight with her life on the line. They couldn't even fork out 600 Chaos Source Rocks, let alone 10,000 Chaos Source Rocks.
Perhaps because of the previous experience, everyone was very united this time. They were also very determined and resolute. They were going to risk their lives to defend the dignity that they should have.
No matter how weak they were, they should still have dignity.
"Hmph!" The shop owner sneered in disdain. A sinister smile appeared on his face, as though his scheme had succeeded.
"You people won't shed tears until you see the coffin."
"Alright, alright, alright. Since you're still so stubborn, I'll fulfill your wish. No one dares to cause trouble in my shop. "
Lin Xian's resistance seemed to have fallen into the shop owner's trap.
At this moment, Qin Xiao suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of the shop owner. She stared coldly at him.
Her gaze was as cold as the Grim Reaper's, causing the shop owner's heart to go numb.
He had never seen such a terrifying gaze before. It was so sharp and sharp that he didn't dare to look directly at it.
After a few glances, a sense of fear inexplicably rose in his heart.
Why did he have such a feeling?
The young man in front of him looked like a second-step Heavenly Venerate, and he was so young.
He was also a second-step Heavenly Venerate Human Immortal and had been a second-step Heavenly Venerate for several epochs. He could be considered an experienced senior.
Although he had been stuck at second-step Heavenly Venerate all this while, his accumulation over the years had given him a lot of confidence.
With such strength, how could he be frightened by a young man's gaze?
The shop owner felt humiliated.
"Brother Qin, don't …"
Lin Xian wanted to persuade Qin Xiao. He felt that this was their High Mountain Town's matter and they shouldn't drag Qin Xiao into it.
However, Qin Xiao didn't wait for him to finish. Instead, he said, "Leave this matter to me."
Lin Xian was stunned when he heard Qin Xiao's words. From his tone, he could tell that Qin Xiao was very confident.
Did Qin Xiao have a way to resolve this matter?
Just as everyone was nervous, Qin Xiao suddenly smiled at the shop owner. "Shop owner, don't be so nervous. I'm not with them. I just met them halfway and happened to be walking together.
"As for me, I actually want to ask you to take a look at something."
"I see that your shop doesn't just sell immortal treasures. You also buy immortal treasures, right?"
Hmm?
This didn't seem right. Wasn't this a little too fast?
Lin Xian and the others didn't know how to react to such a big turn. They all looked at Qin Xiao in confusion. They didn't know what Qin Xiao was up to.
The shop owner, who was ready to attack, was also stunned. What was going on?
'Didn't this guy come out to spar with me?'
After a moment, the shop owner said, "Yes, of course I buy immortal treasures. Why, do you have something to sell? "
