Chapter 674 - 289: This Generation’s Luo God Raised a Fool!? (Part 3)
As these words were spoken, Fang Qingyu’s brow slightly furrowed.
Indeed...
The other party knew about Jiu’s existence and had used some means to hold Jiu up.
Yet there was not a hint of expression on Fang Qingyu’s face.
Shenxiao surged across his skin, and the sword handle of Dragon Sparrow Calamity Slash was quietly held tight by him.
"So?"
Fang Qingyu’s voice remained steady, with a trace of cold hardness questioning.
The black-robed masked man seemed unconcerned with Fang Qingyu’s defensive stance.
He slowly raised a hand wrapped in a black glove and waved it nonchalantly at the open space in front of Fang Qingyu and his team.
The space seemed to ripple like water.
The next second —
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Three enormous boxes, entirely cast from some dark metal and half a person high, appeared as if out of thin air, crashing heavily onto the smooth ice surface of the Ice Cliff.
The collision of the metal boxes with the hard ice surface emitted a dull thud, echoing in this dead silent space.
Then, the lids of the boxes silently popped open.
Whoosh—!
In an instant, a rich, pure surge of Qi Blood Energy mixed with powerful Spiritual Power erupted from the boxes like a volcano erupting.
The dazzling light even briefly dispelled the surrounding snowfield.
The first box was neatly packed with perfectly cut, deep red crystals the size of a baby’s fist.
Tier Two Qi Blood Crystals!
The sheer number filled the entire box like a small scarlet crystal mountain.
The pure Qi and Blood Power almost formed a visible red mist.
The second box contained pearls, the size of pigeon eggs, of various colors but all containing immense energy.
All were Tier Two Life Pearls! And of extremely high quality!
The third box lay quietly with strange flowers that looked as if carved from ice crystal.
Tier Two top-grade Meditation Flowers.
Invaluable for the cultivation of Divine Cultists.
With the "boxes" as units for Qi Blood Crystals, Life Pearls, and Meditation Flowers.
Even Fang Qingyu’s team, who was never short of resources, couldn’t help but pause at this scene.
After all, such extravagance... was indeed a bit astounding.
The black-robed masked man seemed very pleased with the effect of this "visual impact".
His calm voice resounded again, as if stating a trivial matter:
"Stop looking into the population issue."
"These are all yours."
"What do you say?"
An icy condition of the trade.
Accompanied by resources tempting enough to drive any Transcendent mad, laid bare before Fang Qingyu.
Fang Qingyu’s gaze swept over those resource boxes emitting enticing glows, a faint ripple passing through the depths of his eyes before swiftly reverting to calm serenity.
He lifted his head, looking at that pure white mask, speaking calmly with a hint of inquiry:
"Are you from the Luo Family?"
The black-robed masked man did not answer.
His eyes hidden behind the mask were like deep pools, quietly staring at Fang Qingyu, as if trying to penetrate his soul.
After a few seconds of silence, that flat voice spoke again, merely repeating the previous condition with an undeniable tone:
"Stop looking into the population issue."
"These are all yours."
"What do you say?"
"I..."
Chu Kuanglan’s explosive temper was instantly ignited, such a blatant bribe and casual payoff made him feel greatly insulted, ready to burst out in anger.
However, just as he uttered three words...
"Mmph!"
A hand covered in Dark Gold Shenxiao quickly as lightning covered his mouth, forcibly stopping the words from being said.
It was Fang Qingyu.
Chu Kuanglan stared in shock at his captain.
Only to see Fang Qingyu’s face slowly break into an extremely bright, almost sunny smile.
As if a heavy burden had been lifted, or like meeting an old friend unseen for many years.
He faced the black-robed masked man and nodded decisively and loudly:
"Alright!"
This single word, agreed to so quickly, so easily, so...irrationally!
Not only was Chu Kuanglan taken aback, but Wei Banmeng, Lu Jiuyuan, and Jiang Wei were also stunned.
Even the always calm black-robed masked man seemed momentarily shocked.
His gaze hidden under the mask lingered on Fang Qingyu’s face for a full two seconds, as if trying to discern truth from that radiant smile.
Finally, he seemed to choose to believe, or not wanting to waste more words.
"Deal concluded."
The masked man’s voice remained calm, yet carried an imperceptible touch of relief.
"Hope you... don’t go back on your word."
He paused, his deep pool-like eyes through the mask once more settling on Fang Qingyu.
This look, no longer composed.
A terrible pressure, as heavy as an ancient mountain, as cold as the Nine Netherworld, crashed down like an invisible tsunami!
Thud!
Chu Kuanglan and his team groaned, nearly collapsing to their knees, their foreheads instantly covered in cold sweat.
This was pure life-level suppression.
"Otherwise..."
The masked man’s final three words were spat out like ice cones piercing into the marrow.
"The consequences are not something you few can bear."
The warning’s echo seemed to still resonate in the solidified space.
The silhouette of the black-robed masked man vanished just as it had appeared, without warning, silently fading away.
Like ink dissolving in water, disappearing entirely.
The oppressive force and boundless silence enveloping the Ice Cliff receded like a tide.
Whoosh—!
The howling of the blizzard and the crackling sounds of snow particles hitting the ice cliffs instantly filled everyone’s eardrums again.
