Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 845 846: Emperor Star Calamity

"This..." Upon hearing this, Qianhe Yuanfeng was dumbfounded.

Xiao Tianyu continued, "Your Qianhe Clan runs a gambling stone field here, and now someone has hit a top-grade gemstone, but you're trying to renege. How do you plan to handle this?"

Although Xiao Tianyu's voice was calm, it was chilling, as if a deathly aura enveloped Qianhe Yuanfeng. Handle it, how to handle it? Just handing over that top-grade gemstone?

So, Qianhe Yuanfeng gave the middle-aged man a cold glance, as if saying, wait till I see off this young master, then I'll deal with you. Who do you think you're messing with? You just had to mess with him, do you have a death wish?

Feeling Qianhe Yuanfeng's icy gaze, the middle-aged man's expression turned extremely unpleasant. How could he have known that the other had such a formidable background? Even the clan leader had to yield; could he be a prodigy Saint Child from some great academy?

Subsequently, Qianhe Yuanfeng said to Xiao Tianyu, "Young Master Xiao, what do you suggest we do?"

"Figure it out yourself," Xiao Tianyu replied indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Qianhe Yuanfeng was dumbfounded again. If Xiao Tianyu had directly said how to handle it, it would be better, but saying to figure it out himself left Qianhe Yuanfeng truly at a loss. If the compensation was too little, he feared Xiao Tianyu might just finish him off; if too much, he'd feel a huge loss.

But a loss is better than losing one's life, right?

Thinking this, Qianhe Yuanfeng was relieved and flattered Xiao Tianyu, "With Young Master Xiao's status, of course, a top-grade gemstone holds no allure for you, nor does anything from my Qianhe Clan concern you..."

After a flurry of flattery, Qianhe Yuanfeng continued, "However, our Qianhe Clan is at fault here. As for compensation, our Qianhe Clan is willing to offer 100 million in cash, plus that gemstone. Would Young Master Xiao be satisfied with this?"

What?

Just a "figure it out," and the Qianhe Clan made such hefty compensation—100 million! If that 100 million were given to me, damn, I could live off it for the rest of my life.

Is earning money ever this easy?

Is the Qianhe Clan leader serious?

Handing over the top-grade gemstone is one thing, but compensating 100 million in cash too? That's harsh. Also, who is that young man really?

Many began to speculate—a mere "figure it out" could make the Qianhe Clan offer such a massive compensation; his identity must be extraordinary.

"Clan Leader!" Qianhe Feipiao said, bewildered, "Why offer such a huge compensation, and this... this 100 million cash to the Qianhe Clan..."

Smack~

Before Qianhe Feipiao could finish, a slap landed on his face, and soon his chubby face bore a clear handprint.

Qianhe Feipiao clutched his face, "Clan Leader, why hit me again? I'm just thinking of the Qianhe Clan, and why should we give up 100 million?"

What's going on?

"You dare to speak more? Believe it or not, I'll kick you to death!" Qianhe Yuanfeng snorted coldly. Damn, how can the Qianhe Clan have such an idiot? Haven't you caused me enough trouble?

Qianhe Feipiao showed a hint of grievance in response, indicating he'd shut up.

"100 million?" Xiao Tianyu muttered lightly.

Is this guy complaining about having too much money? Everyone thought silently; well, 100 million in cash could fill a truck.

However, in the next second, they heard Xiao Tianyu say, "Delayed me for so long; you think 100 million is enough?"

Clang~

As soon as these words came out, the crowd fell over in unison. So it's not too much, it's too little. Why not go rob a bank yourself?

Qianhe Yuanfeng was also dumbfounded; he just wanted to say it hadn't delayed you that long—wasn't 100 million enough? This was outright extortion.

Though he thought so, Qianhe Yuanfeng didn't dare to contradict and said, "As Young Master Xiao wishes!"

"Not even ten or eight hundred million could settle this!" Xiao Ziyan interjected, leaving Qianhe Yuanfeng with a look of terror. Ten or eight hundred million? Dear heavens, lady, why not rob them outright?

Xiao Tianyu patted Xiao Ziyan's head, "You're so talkative. I was going to extort a hundred or eighty billion out of him; now it's ruined..."

"Ah!" Xiao Ziyan was stunned; so, second brother's heart is even blacker than mine.

Clang~

Beside them, Qianhe Yuanfeng almost banged his head against a wall—hundred or eighty billion? This would bankrupt the Qianhe Clan! This lady saved my life here!

So Qianhe Yuanfeng quickly agreed, fearing Xiao Ziyan would change her mind, "Miss Xiao is right, 100 million is indeed too little, let's make it one billion!"

"..." Everyone was speechless, thinking this level of extortion was truly refined mastery.

...

On the other side, at the Emperor Star Academy.

Currently, at the Emperor Star Academy, the elders, Asura, and deans of several hundred branches gathered at the vast martial arts arena, looking very grim as if facing a great enemy.

Moreover, tens of thousands of disciples also stood below the martial arena, watching everything unfold.

"Are the powerhouses of the three academies finally coming?" A disciple began to speculate among the crowd, "It seems so!"

"In that case, will Emperor Star Academy follow the same fate as the Bright Divine Sect?"

"Who knows!" a disciple responded, "I heard our executive chairman has already fled; it seems this matter is not easy to resolve!"

"What did you say? Where did you hear that?"

"Don't worry about where I heard it, but currently, our executive chairman is indeed not here!"

"..."

The senior disciples talked on, none of them could remain calm. The descent of the powerhouses from the three academies to Emperor Star—would it be as devastating as the Bright Divine Sect? If so, wouldn't we all be buried alongside?

The more they thought about it, the more worried the senior disciples became. Emperor Star Academy was once the king of the Ancient Martial Realm; how could they have imagined facing the brink of extinction today? Moreover, their executive chairman fled as well.

With the chairman gone, is there any need to further elaborate on the seriousness of the situation?

Buzz~

At this moment, an overwhelming pressure descended from the sky. The elders and branch deans, including Di Cang, all showed a hint of icy intent.

"Are they here?"

"Have the three academy deans arrived with their powerhouses?"

"..."

Feeling this formidable pressure, the tens of thousands of disciples felt panic, thinking if the academy were slaughtered, their blood would flow like rivers, making it easy to imagine how severe the consequences would be.

The descending pressure from the Void of Ten Thousand Domains grew heavier, carrying intense murderous intent, making everyone feel as if they were falling into an ice cellar, their hearts cold.

Soon, figures landed from the void, emanating overwhelming hostility, clearly divided into three distinct groups, evidently representing three different forces.

These three forces were none other than Heaven Slayer Academy, Celestial Demon Academy, and Jiuxian Academy.
