Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 237: That idiot is grateful to the one who sold him out!

Chapter 237: Chapter 237: That idiot is grateful to the one who sold him out!

At that moment, Nanling Bully truly had the urge to prostrate himself in utmost reverence.

It hadn’t even been an hour, yet Ning Xuan had already broken through three successive realms from the Ninth Layer Heavens of the Heavenly Realm, reaching the Twelfth Layer, the absolute peak!

Holy crap! This is just outrageous!

Although Nanling Bully came from Yao Guang, and martial artists there were born at the King Realm, he knew very well what climbing three realms in less than an hour signified.

Just now, Ning Xuan had mentioned Element Qi and Heavenly Crystals. In Yao Guang, the purity of both these things was several times higher than here, even in a random spot. Within some Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, the purity of Element Qi could be more than ten, or even dozens of times higher.

If he could go to Yao Guang, wouldn’t he be able to catch up with many other cultivators in a very short time?!

Nanling Bully’s gaze toward Ning Xuan changed. At the same time, he was extremely grateful for his earlier decision.

Beside him, You Ruo was also looking at Ning Xuan, her face full of shock. She had guessed that Ning Xuan could improve his realm, but she had never expected such a tremendous increase. His talent was in no way inferior to Ning Yang’s! 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Thinking of Ning Yang, she suddenly remembered something, but upon trying to sense carefully, she failed to detect the other party’s aura.

Forget it, the Ten Clans Grand Competition is more important.

Immediately, You Ruo quietly asked Nanling Bully, "Uncle Bully, with Ning Xuan here, can the competition begin now?"

"No!" Nanling Bully rejected the idea without a second thought.

You Ruo looked at him, completely surprised.

Nanling Bully forced a smile. "We shall strictly follow the schedule. It’s not time yet, is it?"

Although he said that, he was internally as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Oh God, please tell me what I should do! With no other options left, he began praying for divine intervention when suddenly, his eyes lit up. I should ask Ning Xuan! That guy is incredibly clever. Most importantly, the young girl beside him is from Bi Luo Palace, which is most famous for its Mechanical Techniques!

Without hesitation, he sent a mental message to Ning Xuan. "I have an important matter to entrust to you."

"Is there money involved?" Ning Xuan’s response was very pragmatic.

"Yes! But the matter is simple. I’ll give you one hundred thousand Heavenly Crystals at most." This time, he was being more cautious.

Ning Xuan, not being foolish, said directly, "Why don’t you tell me what the matter is first?"

"Here, I’ll leave it to you!" Nanling Bully directly tossed the object in his hand to Ning Xuan.

In that instant, all eyes were focused on the object in Ning Xuan’s hands.

"What is that?"

"Such a strange object!"

"I’ve never seen it before. I don’t know what it’s used for."

Just then, Nanling Bully cleared his throat. "Ahem, this competition will be employing entirely new technology. Next, let’s have Ning Xuan demonstrate it for you!"

As he spoke these words, Nanling Bully felt extremely guilty. If Ning Xuan can’t handle it and ends up exposing me, I’ll be disgraced beyond measure!

"Eh, what’s this? What an amazing device."

When Nanling Bully heard Wu Pianpian say this, he felt his vision go dark. It’s all over! If even someone from Bi Luo Palace hasn’t seen this thing before, how could Ning Xuan possibly know how to operate it!

However, a voice transmission from Ning Xuan reached his ear. "I can activate it for you, but what are you prepared to offer in return?"

Like a drowning man grasping at a life-saving straw, Nanling Bully hurriedly responded, "Name your price, I’ll agree to anything!"

"One hundred million Heavenly Crystals," Ning Xuan said, demanding a huge sum without hesitation.

Ning Xuan instantly understood why Nanling Bully had tossed him the object. This is a great opportunity to make money, and I’m not going to be soft-hearted.

"That’s too much! How about this, I’ll give you ten million, and you can consider it a favor I owe you. When we get to Yao Guang, I can..."

Nanling Bully hadn’t finished speaking when Ning Xuan interrupted him. "I’m quite greedy. If you think that’s too much, you’d better find someone else."

This guy’s calculations are certainly shrewd, but does he really think I’ll fall for it?

Of course, Ning Xuan was so sure the other party would compromise because he was the only one there who could operate the device. The object in his hand was, to put it bluntly, a type of Shadow Stone, but one with a real-time broadcasting function. In short, it was for live streaming. What he held was merely an enlarged camera, and his mobile villa was the signal source! Without his mobile villa, the live streaming function was impossible.

Was the head of the Bi Luo Palace on Blue Planet in the telecommunications business or something? To be able to create this... that’s unbelievably awesome!

"Fine, one hundred million it is! You can give me the IOU later. Just activate it now!" Nanling Bully said hastily, seeing that time was running out.

"An IOU? No need. I trust your character," Ning Xuan said, shaking his head with a mysterious smile.

After a brief moment of shock, Nanling Bully’s eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at Ning Xuan.

「Yao Guang Realm.」

At the High Heaven headquarters of the Righteous Alliance, big shots from various factions were seated around a massive long table. Their gazes were all fixed in the same direction, where a massive screen was displayed. At this instant, the screen showed a close-up of Nanling Bully’s grateful expression.

The faces of all the big shots turned green. An elder from the Nanling Family even crushed the teacup in his hand into dust.

Damn it! This is too humiliating! One hundred million! He was extorted for a full one hundred million just to start the universal broadcast! The crucial point is, that idiot Nanling Bully is thanking the very person who conned him! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!

If this weren’t the High Heaven headquarters, he would have lost control.

Around the long table, the other big shots were all suppressing their laughter. It wasn’t their family being ripped off, after all, and the drama was certainly satisfying to watch—for everyone except the Wenren Family.

"He’s the one who killed my boy, Yi!" the elder from the Wenren Family suddenly declared, his gaze locked intensely on Ning Xuan on the screen. Although only Ning Xuan’s back was visible, the elder was absolutely certain of his senses.

The crowd was stunned. "You can’t be serious, can you? Because of the angle, we can’t see his face, but he can’t be very old."

"Most importantly, he’s only in the Heavenly Realm! How could he possibly kill someone?"

Just then, the image on the screen suddenly flickered.

In the boundless universe, a young girl sat perched atop a planet, one leg swinging playfully.

"Dear esteemed customers, I, Tian Yi, can provide a video rewind function, allowing you all to see Wenren Yi’s final moments. It’s quite explosive, you know," the girl’s voice was playful and full of enchantment.

"What’s your price?" someone asked.

Only after she appeared did they remember that they had been duped, too. While the effect of the universal broadcast was indeed shocking, the price they paid was far too high. They were not happy about it.

"Oh, it won’t be cheap. After all, Tian Yi has to harness the energy of the universe. It’s akin to reversing time, flowing backward against the river of time... Ah, forget it. I don’t think you can afford it."

The group of big shots was utterly exasperated. They exchanged helpless glances, knowing full well this was a taunt—an open conspiracy. But at this point, they had to bite the bullet and play along.

However, they all turned in unison to look at the Wenren Family’s elder. This time, he would surely have to foot most of the bill.

The elder’s mouth twitched as he asked in a grave voice, "Just name your price!"
