Chapter 737 Discussing Terms
Chapter 737 Discussing Terms
Time passed without notice, and the eyes of Ling Feng, who had been closing his eyes tightly, suddenly shot open!
He sensed a commotion outside. Someone had arrived!
And there was more than one person!
Ling Feng’s spirit immediately perked up.
Then, he raised his head, looking towards the circular opening in the ceiling.
As the footsteps drew nearer, Ling Feng knew they were headed his way, and he became even more alert.
If it was He Wei, he would rush up the moment he could, capture that kid, and then kill him on the spot!
However, to his surprise, after the footsteps halted, the face that appeared at the hole was unfamiliar!
The man looked to be around forty, with a face full of stubble, giving off a somewhat unkempt appearance, but his eyes were piercingly harsh.
As their eyes met, Ling Feng asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?"
The stranger didn’t speak, but with a whoosh, he leaped down.
Right after that, another person also jumped down.
The two men looked quite similar, probably brothers. After a glance, Ling Feng couldn’t help but ask, "Yang Da, Yang Er?"
"Correct!"
The first man to show his face nodded, "I am Yang Da!"
"I’m Yang Er!"
Ling Feng was bewildered. What was going on? They had really colluded together!
Looking at their stern faces, Ling Feng, unafraid, asked with a hint of puzzlement, "Why are you collaborating with He Wei?"
"At first, it was for the money, but later we found out that among those they wanted to deal with was you, so we changed our minds!"
Ling Feng narrowed his eyes, "What now? You also want Spirit Stones?"
"Of course, who would think they have too many of those? From what we know, it seems you have discovered a Spirit Stone Mine, how else could you possess so many top grade Spirit Stones?" asked Yang Da.
"Haha, trying to swindle me, are you? Don’t worry, I won’t mention anything about Spirit Stones to you!"
Ling Feng laughed loudly, then asked, "Since you’ve been involved in the kidnapping of Mo Lan, there’s no helping it, we must cross swords!"
Having said that, he slowly drew out the God Slayer Saber!
Facing the two men, although he didn’t know their realm, even if it was the Qi Refining realm, Ling Feng wasn’t afraid!
Because he had already proven that even those in the Qi Refining realm were no match for him in one-on-one combat!
Therefore, not only was Ling Feng not intimidated, he was actually quite excited. If he could take out those two, a major threat would be eliminated!
Seeing the God Slayer Saber, Yang Da and Yang Er both paused, a flicker of surprise crossing their eyes, but they quickly regained their composure.
Afterwards, Yang Da said indifferently, "What’s the rush? This place is too cramped for a fight. We didn’t come to you for a skirmish!"
"Oh?"
Ling Feng was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Not to fight? Do you plan to kneel on the ground and beg me for Spirit Stones?"
"..."
That question left both Yang Da and Yang Er speechless.
They exchanged glances, both failing to understand what Ling Feng was thinking. How could he come up with such an idea?
Yang Da then shook his head with a bitter smile. "That’s out of the question. We have two reasons for seeking you. If we are satisfied, we might as well hand over He Wei and Luo Qianyang to you!"
"Oh?"
At that, Ling Feng’s eyes lit up immediately!
So he hurriedly asked, "Where are these two people?"
"Naturally, they are in our hands! I’ve heard that you hate these two people to the bone, is that correct?" Yang Da asked with a piercing gaze and a calm tone.
"That’s right, I’ve suddenly become interested. Now, tell me your purpose in seeking me out. If it’s acceptable, I’m willing to make an exchange with you!"
Ling Feng originally thought that the sly He Wei was beyond his reach, but unexpectedly, there was a twist in the tale, which immediately lessened his hostility towards Yang Da and his companion!
This matter could be put aside for now, but if He Wei and Luo Qianyang escaped, there might be no finding them again, so it was imperative to eliminate these evils once and for all—they must die!
Upon hearing Ling Feng’s words, a glint flashed in Yang Da’s eyes before he smiled and said, "Our demands are simple. First, we want Spirit Stones, top-grade ones, the largest kind, five pieces!"
"No way, just skip to the second one!"
Ling Feng rolled his eyes and thought to himself, are you out of your mind?
Demanding five pieces of the largest top-grade Spirit Stones all at once, would I be nurturing a powerful adversary here?
Yang Da wasn’t truly expecting to get five pieces. Seeing Ling Feng’s outright refusal, he fell silent for a moment, then said, "The amount is negotiable."
Ling Feng: "Even that is out of the question. I can give you at most one, the size of a fist. Any more is off the table. Your method of haggling might work in business, but not when it comes to important strategic resources!"
"..."
Yang Da suddenly fell silent.
"Kid, do you not wish to negotiate anymore? Do you really think we are in dire need of your help?" Yang Er couldn’t help but ask.
Ling Feng shrugged his shoulders, "It would be better for you not to speak so definitively before mentioning your second purpose."
"You!"
Yang Er was abruptly left speechless.
Ling Feng had already seen through their intentions. These two were quite scheming; the so-called Spirit Stones were probably a ruse.
On the surface, they seemed to be fighting irreconcilably over this matter, and when negotiations failed, they planned to settle for less, aiming to achieve their second purpose.
By then, Ling Feng would likely feel since the first was not agreed upon, it would be difficult to refuse the second, thereby letting them achieve their goal.
As the two parties were enemies, Ling Feng had to be cautious and make sure he understood the situation before proceeding.
After his remarks, Yang Da nodded, "Good, Mr. Ling proves to be quite astute. With that being the case, I won’t beat around the bush."
After finishing, he looked at Ling Feng, "We want to know Yu Linglong’s whereabouts!"
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng was taken aback, "Yu Linglong? I was about to ask that myself. Why haven’t I seen her? What do you mean by this? Has she gone missing?"
"Haha!"
Yang Da laughed aloud and then gave Ling Feng a thumbs up, "Not bad acting!"
"Uh...."
Ling Feng was puzzled; he hadn’t slipped up, so how did Yang Da know he was pretending?
"Let’s speak frankly, the reason I suspect Yu Linglong is related to you is due to the Soul Devouring Formation in this house being sabotaged, indicating your knowledge of it. And there is no other way you could have known about it, only through Yu Linglong!"
Hearing this, Ling Feng suddenly realized and shrugged, "So that’s it!"
Yang Da nodded, "Exactly, so you can hand over Yu Linglong to us now. That’s our second purpose for finding you!"
"Sorry, I can’t agree to that!"
Ling Feng shrugged his shoulders and flatly refused!
"Why not? She’s your enemy, keeping her doesn’t serve much purpose. Isn’t exchanging her for two enemies, He Wei and Luo Qianyang, a good deal?" Yang Da asked, puzzled.
"A good deal it is, but what you don’t know is that Yu Linglong has already become my wife. How could I possibly agree to let you take her?"
Ling Feng asked earnestly.
