Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 682 - 702: Fierce Battle in Lisha City (Part 1)

"Since the senior is willing to help, we naturally can't ask for more. How about this, my junior brother here has thirteen top-grade Star Stones and one top-grade Star Stone; you just give us a hundred top-grade Nether Stones, and the rest can be considered as a greeting gift. If it weren't for you telling us these things, we wouldn't have known at all," Chu Lin said.

"Then wait for me, I'll go fetch the Nether Stones immediately!" The middle-aged man turned and left after speaking, leaving Chu Linfeng and the group of four with a look of astonishment.

"Is there something wrong with this middle-aged man? Does he need to fetch a hundred Nether Stones? Doesn't he have a Storage Ring? Or is he planning to gather people to snatch our Star Stones? I feel something's off about this guy. Chu Linfeng, we have to be cautious!" Young Master Feiyu said at this time.

"Feiyu is right, I also feel this person is overly enthusiastic. Just now, when I took out the Ice Crystal and Fire Crystal, the disappointed expression on his face was as clear as day for me. Everyone should be vigilant later, and avoid startling the enemy. If we can avoid it, we should," Chu Linfeng said.

Not long after, the middle-aged man returned, holding a Storage Belt in his hand and said, "Here are the hundred Nether Stones, take a look. If there are no issues, I'll take the Star Stones."

Chu Linfeng and the four had never seen what Nether Stones looked like, nor did they know whether these were Middle Grade or Upper Grade. Chu Linfeng took out one from the Storage Belt and found there was indeed energy fluctuation in it, but it seemed very weak.

"Sister Yue'Er, is this Nether Stone an Upper Grade Nether Stone? I need your help," Chu Linfeng thought to the Sword Spirit.

"Heh, it is indeed a Nether Stone, but it's the lowest grade, a Low-Grade Nether Stone. This guy is obviously deceiving you; it seems he knows you don't understand matters of the Netherworld and is deliberately blackmailing you," the Sword Spirit said at this time.

After hearing this, Chu Linfeng did not show a disappointed expression but smiled and said, "Senior, how come this Nether Stone is different from the one my master gave us before? This is a Lower Grade Nether Stone. Did you make a mistake?"

The middle-aged man gave Chu Linfeng a puzzled look and said, "Look carefully; this is Upper Grade Nether Stone. You should know that Nether Stones are extremely rare. If you don't want to exchange, then forget it. I was just kindly helping you, and I didn't expect you to suspect me."

Lin Ruoxi and Young Master Feiyu glanced at Chu Linfeng, not understanding why he said that. No one knew about Nether Stones, and offending this middle-aged man might mean not being able to exchange for Nether Stones, making it very hard to live in Lisha City.

"Lin Feng, I think you should go ahead and exchange. There shouldn't be a problem with these Nether Stones, are you being too cautious?" Lin Ruoxi said.

"Ruoxi, you should trust Sister Yue'Er's words. These Nether Stones are actually Low-Grade Nether Stones. If we exchange, we'll be at a loss. I think it's better for us to leave. I believe we can find someone to help us exchange at Yuelai Inn. As for whether the Outer Disciple can enter later, we'll see," Chu Linfeng said.

Since Chu Linfeng said so, the other three were too embarrassed to refute. They all knew that Chu Linfeng was very cautious in his actions and must have a reason for doing so, so they all stood up, ready to leave.

"Senior, sorry for the disturbance. We will go look elsewhere. Consider this top-grade Star Stone as a reward, please accept it with a smile," Chu Linfeng said. He stood up and took out a top-grade Star Stone, ready to leave this general store.

At this moment, the middle-aged man's face suddenly turned ugly, "I kindly help you, yet you suspect me like this. Do you really think anyone can walk into my general store? If you want to leave today, you can, but you must leave all the Star Stones you have, or just leave your lives here."

The ugly face of the middle-aged man was revealed at once, but the four had expected this and didn't care. Chu Linfeng laughed and said, "It's not that we don't respect you, it's that you underestimate us too much. Using Low-Grade Nether Stones to pose as Upper Grade Nether Stones, you really think we know nothing?"

"We are actually here to participate in Yuelai Inn's Outer Disciple selection. Pretending not to know earlier was deliberate. After all, we are unfamiliar with this place and don't want to stir up trouble, but you see us as easy targets. Don't think that having Saint Martial Realm power makes you great; eliminating you is a matter of minutes," Chu Linfeng said, his face changed, exuding an aura of dominance.

"Heh, kid, do you think I'm just scaring you? Open your dog eyes and see who's outside. I was sparing your life because you are of the Human Race. Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, don't blame me for being cruel," the middle-aged man said, disregarding Chu Linfeng and the others entirely.

Chu Linfeng and the group immediately rushed out of the general store and found it surrounded by dozens of masked people from the Human Race. The weakest among them was about the Eighth Layer of Divine Martial Realm, and there were even a few Saint Martial Realm experts.

Chu Linfeng didn't care about these people. Even if he didn't act, Lin Ruoxi and the others could easily handle them. He just didn't understand why Saint Martial Realm experts would be involved. Isn't the Netherworld Purple Orchid already very rare? Could it be the middle-aged man from the general store was deceiving him? 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Ouyang Hong, originally hot-tempered, got angry when seeing them surrounded by these people, "If you're smart, you'd better leave early, or you won't even know how you died later."

"Boy, if you have the guts, give it a try. Lisha City isn't a place where you brats can fool around. I've given you a chance, but you didn't cherish it, so today you'll have to leave your lives here," the middle-aged man said, coming out from the general store.

It turned out that when he said he was fetching the Nether Stones, he was actually notifying these people to come over. Chu Linfeng was speechless for people like this, initially thinking they'd met a good person, but didn't expect it to be such a despicable man. The best solution for such people was to eliminate them.

"You all take care of yourselves, leave these guys to me. Then, everyone take a black mask and quickly escape from here," Chu Linfeng said quietly to Lin Ruoxi and the others.

"Are you being overconfident? We can also defeat these guys. Want to see who takes down more?" Ouyang Hong said, recalling how he felt about losing to Chu Linfeng, and saw this as an opportunity.

"Suit yourself! Just don't get hurt. Otherwise, it will be a hassle. We are unfamiliar with the Netherworld, and killing these people will definitely bring a worldwide hunt. Didn't expect to encounter such situations right after arriving in the Netherworld, it's indeed unlucky," Chu Linfeng said.

"Have you said enough? Once you finish, it's time to end your lives. Those three boys should be killed, but the girl should be spared. Such a beautiful Human Race girl is rare, although she's no longer a virgin, I don't mind," the middle-aged man said at this time.

Hearing this, both Chu Linfeng and Lin Ruoxi felt the anger in their hearts ignited. Chu Linfeng quickly drew the Cyan Frost Sword and shouted, "I want you dead!" Immediately, a shadow rushed towards the middle-aged man...
