BXBX NOVEL Chapter 770: 771 Extremely Professional
They had snatched about thirty Princely Heirs on the Immortal Spirit Continent. It was only after arriving in the Central Origin Realm that they realized Princely Heirs weren’t that valuable here. A dynasty’s Princely Heir could be said to be a dime a dozen, only a few exceptionally talented ones would attract attention.
The rest of the Princely Heirs were probably just attendant students accompanying the Crown Prince in his studies, and even if one accidentally died, no one would care.
In comparison, the core disciples from the sects that Ji Wuqing had captured were much more important. Although these were all Human Immortal Realm cultivators, they were all young and represented the hope of a sect or even a dynasty. Not to mention the upcoming Sword Sect trials, where these major sects would rely on them to secure testing spots.
Ji Wuqing tipped the Purple Gold Gourd upside down, and one by one, young men and women sat stunned on the ground, securely trapped.
“Kid, look, all of these are prime goods,”
Ji Wuqing said lightly, pointing with her little paw at the group in front of her.
“Sss, not bad, you little chick, actually managed to gather so many pets. There’s a share for Lord Ergouzi in the Purple Gold Gourd. If we sell these, Lord Ergouzi wants three layers of the Immortal Stones!”
Ergouzi had crept over at some point, his eyes bulging as he scrutinized the cultivators in front of him.
“Yes, indeed, these are fine goods and will bring in a handsome price. Right now, their sects must be in all sorts of panic, right?”
Li Xiaobai stroked his chin, his gaze sweeping over the young men and women. They were good-looking, with defiant eyes and a hint of fear toward the unknown, obviously spoiled by comfort, like flowers raised in a greenhouse, carefully nurtured by their sects.
“So, who do we sell them to?”
“Naturally, we can’t just sell them to the higher-ups of the sects inside the city. We have to go directly to their headquarters to sell them,”
Li Xiaobai said.
“Agreed, the real loot is in the lair. Those old fogies have already given away all their good stuff as life tributes and can’t cough up any decent ransom,”
Ergouzi nodded in agreement.
“Hmm, let’s do it that way, I want a thirty percent cut,”
“Lord Ergouzi also wants a thirty percent cut. I’m giving you a bargain, kid,”
“Heh, no problem,”
Li Xiaobai glanced at them, inwardly sneering. These two still thought they could split the money with him, wanting thirty percent? They probably didn’t even have a clue how much they could sell for. He’d just fob them off with a few coppers later.
In the corner, it was only now that the male and female cultivators realized what had happened. Good heavens, they had actually been kidnapped!
Right now, these kidnappers were discussing how to sell them off, talking about them as if they were mere goods, with not a shred of fear or respect for their sects and dynasties.
Moreover, their terminology was so professional, obviously not newcomers to this, like habitual criminals. Kidnapping people within Yan City was unprecedented, and yet, two beasts and one man had somehow managed to do it, unbelievable.
“Who are you!”
“Let me go!”
“Do you know who I am? I’m a core disciple of the Li Dynasty. You dare to kidnap me? The Li Dynasty will tear you to pieces!”
“Exactly, I’m a True Disciple of Sky Wind Sect. You dare treat me like this, my father won’t let you off!”
“Untie us right away!”
The young men and women were talking all at once, glaring furiously at Li Xiaobai, their words full of indignation.
“Wow, still not behaving. If there’s more disobedience, I’ll sell you to the brothel. The men can be crispy ducks, and the women, calling hens!”
Two fierce lights shot out of Ji Wuqing’s little eyes as she said this. At the same time, the Sin Value above her head materialized, which had reached a shocking thousand points.
“This chicken has Sin Value!”
“A thousand points of Sin Value, it must have killed quite a few people!”
“How could a chicken possibly have Sin Value?”
Everyone was shocked. In this day and age, even chickens had Sin Value—a thousand points, no less, which would mean it had to have killed several cultivators to accumulate that much!
Li Xiaobai’s eyes also took on a strange look, as he had unwittingly discovered another fine leek to harvest.
Ji Wuqing was immortal, so if he slaughtered the chicken, wouldn’t its Sin Value land on his own head? In this way, by recycling and utilizing the value, he could become a demon head without even leaving his home.
However, he still did not know the specific uses of Sin Value, so for now, he let the chicken accumulate it for him, planning to harvest it later.
“Who are you people? If you kidnap me, it’s going to cause big trouble.”
One of the youths said blandly, unlike the panic of the others. He seemed quite composed, as if he was certain that Li Xiaobai wouldn’t dare to harm him.
“Indeed, we are the Saint Heir and saintess of the Sword Dynasty, bearing the great mission of the dynasty’s rise. Our status is vitally important, unlike these other disciples and cultivators. If you capture us, you will only face endless pursuit!”
“If you release us now and cut off an arm as a penalty, I can pretend this never happened.”
The other cold and arrogant female cultivator also spoke up, her beautiful eyes full of icy disdain, not taking Li Xiaobai seriously at all.
“Hiss!”
“Xiao Ji, you actually captured such important people?”
“Such significant figures must be treated differently. If handled well, they could definitely fetch a high price. As for the rest of this trash, just bundle them up with the Princely Heirs we caught earlier and sell them off.”
Hearing this, Li Xiaobai’s eyes gleamed with excitement. He hadn’t expected to find among these people disciples who would voluntarily reveal their importance to their sects. Weren’t they just asking him to raise their ransom?
He really didn’t know whether these cultivators were confident or foolish. Clearly, they had never been harshly beaten by reality. He would give them a harsh lesson today.
“Woof, chicken, you have done a great service!”
“This isn’t just any Saint Heir and saintess, this is clearly our Money Tree!”
“Thank you all. If you hadn’t told the truth, we still wouldn’t know your value. Now we can strike it rich in one fell swoop!”
Ergouzi’s eyes were also filled with excitement.
Listening to the conversation, the Saint Heir and saintess of the Sword Dynasty were dumbfounded. So all of their words were in vain?
And from the sounds of it, had they inadvertently betrayed their own sect?
“Hehehe, today we send the message, and in three days, we collect the money!”
Li Xiaobai exchanged for a few carrier pigeons from the System Mall, wrote a few lines of bold text, and then set them off into the sky.
“You…”
The eyes of the Sword Dynasty’s Saint Heir and saintess revealed shock and amazement. Just as they were about to say something more, Ji Wuqing put them into his storage.
It was at this moment that a voice of a servant came from outside the cave entrance.
“Eighteenth Princely Heir, the Crown Prince has just sent an invitation, hoping to invite you to tomorrow’s Formation conference.”
Hmm?
An invitation from the Crown Prince?
Li Xiaobai’s interest was piqued: “Come in, present the invitation to me.”
