Chapter 218: 135?Qinglong Association (3)_3
This Tong Wudi, to this moment, still dared to utter threats.
Hou Yuxiao's expression darkened, forcibly suppressing the urge to strangle Tong Hu to death. It took him a while before he slowly spoke, "Since that's the case, Mister Fang will not force Sect Master Tong any further. Let's keep Young Master Tong with me for now. Once the matter of the Azure Dragon Token is settled tonight, Mister Fang will negotiate with Sect Master Tong. How does that sound?"
Strangling Tong Hu would be easy, but the key was that angering Tong Wudi would instigate a chain reaction with Fan Longhe and others. If things escalated, drawing out those five top experts, and if Maiden Hong made her appearance, things would become difficult for him.
Tong Wudi could see Hou Yuxiao's concessions, and despite his reluctance, he also knew that even if Hou Yuxiao received the money, he would likely not hand over Tong Hu, because his intent to kill had been all too apparent.
Moreover, he had also planned that once his son was safe, he would risk his life to kill this so-called Third Dragon Head, Fang Jinghong.
Seeing that Tong Wudi had not spoken for a long time, Hou Yuxiao knew he had tacitly agreed, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Turning back, he saw the look of disappointment on Fan Longhe and others' faces, and he silently thought to himself, That was close.
If it hadn't been for the temporary truce with Tong Wudi, should they have come to blows, Ding Bu Huai might have been manageable, but Fan Longhe and Ding Dian would definitely have joined the fight as well.
Maiden Hong, what has she gone off to do? Why hasn't she appeared yet?
Hou Yuxiao looked around at the pitch-dark thick forest near Shili Slope, a flash of urgency crossing his eyes. Those five top experts were still waiting inside.
Maiden Hong's target was supposed to be the martial artists present today. Wasn't she supposed to use these people to recover from her injuries or for her cultivation? Why hasn't she appeared yet?
He was just waiting for Maiden Hong to appear and take over the situation so that he could withdraw, but she still hadn't shown up.
"Master of Hou Family, you can distribute those Copper Orders now!"
Suddenly, Yang Xin's words interrupted Hou Yuxiao's thoughts. He nodded and took out the fifty Copper Orders from his chest, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
Originally, there were a hundred Copper Orders. Just before leaving, Maiden Hong had ordered Yang Xin to quickly distribute them, so Hou Yuxiao had given some to Hou Yujie and others, leaving only these fifty for himself.
The Silver and Gold Orders hadn't been brought out yet. Hou Yuxiao glanced at Yang Xin. The matter of the Azure Dragon Token was now being managed by Maiden Hong, and Yang Xin was responsible for interfacing with him, so she must be aware.
But the problem was Yang Xin didn't tell him anything—what was the use of these fifty Qinglong Bronze Orders being taken out now?
The Copper Orders were a token for assassinating martial artists of the Open Body Realm. Indeed, a significant portion of the martial artists present today were here for the silver and gold Azure Dragon Tokens!
The key point was that Maiden Hong had also passed a message through Yang Xin, informing him that the batch of Copper Orders was very valuable and told him to price them at ten thousand taels!
Hou Yuxiao looked at the crowd, unable to bring himself to announce the price of ten thousand taels. He hesitated for a long time and was about to speak.
Suddenly, Yang Xin, who had been standing behind him the whole time, moved.
Yang Xin suddenly leaped into the air, throwing a circular stone that emitted a bright glow in mid-air, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Following that, the circular stone twisted and deformed in the air, finally landing on the ground and transforming into a giant stone gate right before everyone's eyes.
Everyone was instantly stunned.
Including Hou Yuxiao, who also furrowed his brows as he looked at the stone gate.
But as a dense Gang Qi began to emanate from within the stone gate, Fan Longhe, Ding Dian, and Ding Bu Huai immediately changed their expressions.
"This is... Yuan Gang Secret Realm!"
"Yuan Gang Secret Realm, yes, it's real..."
"Qinglong Association, how could they possess such a treasure? How is this possible?"
...
In an instant, including Hou Yuxiao, everyone's gaze towards the stone gate changed.
They became incredibly excited, fervent, and filled with intense greed...
