I Have A Special Cultivation Talent

Chapter 192: People In Exchange for Spiritual Herbs

Little Jupiter Zhang Ye had perished?

The cultivators present immediately gasped in shock. As expected, this Little Master-Uncle of the Luo Sheng Sword School was domineering!

No one in the Eastern Ocean dared to get on Zhang Ye’s bad side. After all, his father was a True Venerable Spirit Plane cultivator.

This Little Master-Uncle knew this and still dared to kill him.

He was not only domineering, but was also emboldened to do so!

Lord Nangong was extremely decisive and immediately took out several Grade 3 spiritual herbs to exchange for Shao Hongxia, Lu Chang’an and the disciples of the Elixir Twilight Clan.

Then, she maneuvered the cauldron and left without hesitation.

The Emerald Wave Island had no intention of being caught up in this mess. Furthermore, they had no shortage of spiritual herbs.

After they left, the atmosphere did not lighten up. Instead, it became even more depressing.

Chen Jingzhai said, “Elders of the Mingyuan Dao Sect, the Mystic Sound Pavilion, the Mystic Evil Clan, the Will Celestial Clan, the Soaring Clouds Clan and the Serenity Hollow Clan, if you don’t want your disciples anymore, I can confine them in the spiritual treasure. We will leave their lives up to fate.”

“Old Man Meng, are you just going to allow this to happen?” Sage Yuan Lie said angrily. “Are you really planning to be at odds with us?”

“You are the ones who want to be at odds with us,” Jiang Lin retorted while sneering. “When Junior Brother Chu and I were surrounded, your disciples were the first ones to attack us. Everyone witnessed that.”

“Life and death is uncertain when you enter a cave residence anyway,” Sage Yuan Lie commented while clenching his fists in fury.

......

“In that case, what’s left to be discussed?” Jiang Lin snorted. “Your disciples are weak, so their lives are now at the mercy of my Little Master-Uncle. Little Master-Uncle is kind and is willing to let them go with a small charge. What else do you want?”

“Since they are not willing to spend a few spiritual herbs to exchange for their disciples, it means that their sects place no value on the latter,” Chu Jingsong incited while smiling. “In that case, why don’t we just kill them all? At least they are valuable as food for the demonic beasts.”

Some Golden Core Sages glared at him with angry looks. Their faces were red in anger. However, Chu Jingsong ignored them all. He was completely disappointed in this group of people. He had no good impression of them. The claim of a thousand years of friendship between their sects sounded like a joke.

“Let them go!” said Lord Dong indifferently. “We will give you the spiritual herbs, including those for the rogue cultivators.”

“Alright!” said Chen Jingzhai as he nodded his head and released the disciples of the Mingyuan Dao Sect as well as Little Item Alchemist Zhang Jiao. He also let the three Advanced Foundation Plane rogue cultivators go. After they came out, they all lowered their heads and did not say a word.

In the spiritual treasure, they could see what was happening on the outside, including the members of the Emerald Wave Island leaving.

It was normal for them to be embarrassed. They were exalted as genius talents.

Yet, they actually needed to be exchanged for spiritual herbs. This was practically a disgrace.

They had no means of resisting. Chen Jingzhai had fought his way straight to the 24th floor.

In terms of ability alone, they were no match for him.

Such a reality made them very uncomfortable.

When the elders from the other celestial clans saw Chen Jingzhai releasing the hostages, most of them, including the elder from the Mystic Evil Clan, took out spiritual herbs to exchange for their disciples.

Chen Jingzhai released the members with a wave of his hand. Now, only Lord Yu from the Mystic Sound Pavilion had yet to act.

Ma Yuliang and Yin Cailing had yet to come out!

These two were the genius talents of the Mystic Sound Pavilion. If they were to perish, things would turn ugly.

“Release the disciples of my sect and I can spare your life,” said Lord Yu calmly.

“I can let them go, but you have to exchange them for spiritual herbs,” replied Chen Jingzhai indifferently.

“Do you think that just because you are a disciple of the Luo Sheng Sword School, you can act presumptuously in the Eastern Ocean?” Lord Yu said expressionlessly. His aura emanated outwards. “Even though you are a Master-Uncle, your seniority is only valued within the Luo Sheng Sword School. Ability is king in the Eastern Ocean.”

“So?” Chen Jingzhai retorted with a poker face.

Lord Yu glared at Chen Jingzhai as he continued threatening, “Regarding what you did at Kumu Island, my sect has yet to settle the score with you. If you are smart, release my disciples now. I can make the call and ask my sect to overlook your misdeeds. We will call it even.”

“I see. So you thought that you could blackmail me,” said Chen Jingzhai as he smiled and shook his head. “Ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous. It seems that in the Eastern Ocean, with the exception of the Emerald Wave Island, the rest of you are cut from the same cloth.”

“You insolent fool!” Lord Yu cursed out loud. Formless waves immediately rippled outwards.

Chen Jingzhai was not anxious at all. He took a step forward and grabbed out with his right hand. He grabbed Yin Cailing’s throat firmly and said, “Lord Yu, do as you please. You are a Lord. It would be easy for you to kill us.”

Lord Yu’s expression froze. He glared sinisterly at Chen Jingzhai. He then closed his eyes and regained his composure. He said, “My offer is beneficial to you. Why are you not agreeing to it?”

“Sage Chang Xiao of the Mystic Sound Pavilion had befriended a bandit,” said Chen Jingzhai in a cold tone. “Sage Kumu utilized a type of Blood Curse to control the rogue cultivators. He used them to hunt down other rogue cultivators on East Pole Spirit Turtle Island and looted their resources. He even kept a bunch of slaves on Kumu Island. His biggest mistake was offending me. That’s why I went to Kumu Island and destroyed the place. He deserved a thousand deaths. As the sage of a sect, how dare you avenge such scum? The talismans from the Mystic Sound Pavilion were abused by Sage Kumu. He used them to reward his underlings. Could it be that Sage Kumu was a member of the Mystic Sound Pavilion?”

There was an uproar among the other sages instantly as they frantically discussed this over transmitted thoughts.

The news of Kumu Island being eradicated had been spreading around since half a year ago.

Everyone had been speculating who was the perpetrator. After all, Sage Kumu had a good relationship with the Mystic Sound Pavilion.

To their surprise, the island was destroyed by Chen Jingzhai.

What shocked the crowd was not Chen Jingzhai’s ability to kill Sage Kumu, but the evil deeds done by the latter. Killing rogue cultivators was a shameful act. Moreover, the Mystic Sound Pavilion seemed to be involved in it too.

“You are spurting nonsense,” Lord Yu chided coldly. “Sage Kumu used elixirs to exchange for talismans from the Mystic Sound Pavilion. Our relationship was strictly on business terms. He was a rogue cultivator and was not qualified to join my sect.”

“In that case, you should thank me,” said Chen Jingzhai with a sarcastic smile on his face. “After all, because of me, you got to know the dark side of Sage Kumu and managed to protect the good name of the Mystic Sound Pavilion.”

“No one can verify whether what you say is true, but it’s an undeniable fact that you killed Sage Kumu,” Lord Yu stated. “Don’t think that you can leave today without returning my disciples.”

“Are you so sure?” said Chen Jingzhai as he raised his eyebrows slightly. “Aren’t you afraid that I will take them down with me?”

“You dare?” said Lord Yu in a cold tone. “If you kill the disciples of my sect, you will not walk away alive.”

“Ah. So that’s the bait you want me to take,” Chen Jingzhai’s lips curled into a smile. He casually ripped an arm off Yin Cailing’s body and threw it out. Since he did not use a Restriction, her agonizing shriek could be heard loud and clear.

“You are seeking your own death!” Lord Yu was furious. He slammed his palm down on Chen Jingzhai.

“Senior Brothers, you do not need to worry about me,” Chen Jingzhai turned around and comforted Sage Meng and Sage Zhang while smiling. “Please stay inside the tower for a moment. Senior Sister, please follow them too.”

After he said this, he waved his hand and sent them into the tower, not allowing them any chance to refuse.

Jiang Lin and Chu Jingsong disappeared along with them too.

Right then, a gigantic hand as big as a mountain appeared above Chen Jingzhai’s head.

Chen Jingzhai did not waste his breath. With his left hand, he dragged Ma Yuliang out, grabbing two people with both his hands. If the giant hand came crashing down on him, he would immediately crush their throats.

“Why do you need to resort to this?” said Lord Dong with soft sigh. With a wave of his hand, he shattered the gigantic hand of Lord Yu.

“Lord Dong, what advice do you have for me?” asked Lord Yu. He was not surprised, instead merely glancing over towards Lord Dong coldly.

“He is only asking for two spiritual herbs. What are two spiritual herbs to you?” exclaimed Lord Dong as he sighed softly. “Lord Yu, even if you are eyeing the spiritual treasure that he has, do you really believe that you can keep it? If you make an enemy of him, even with the Mystic Sound Pavilion backing you up, what can you do against the members of the Luo Sheng Sword School?”

“This is the inheritance of the Eastern Ocean. It is our spiritual treasure,” replied Lord Yu.

He was not flustered even though Lord Dong revealed his intentions. In reality, if Lord Dong wasn’t present, he would have attacked and taken down Chen Jingzhai as soon as the latter appeared. As long as he did not kill Chen Jingzhai, the Luo Sheng Sword School would not be in a position to come after him.

“Such a joke,” Chen Jingzhai snorted. “Venerable Ning is not an Eastern Ocean cultivator. Even if he was, his cave residence should be claimed by whoever has a fateful encounter with it. As a Lord of the Mystic Sound Pavilion, you have actually said such shameful statements. From the looks of it, your sect has indeed fallen.”

“Lord Dong, what do you say?” Lord Yu ignored Chen Jingzhai and continued to stare at Lord Dong. “Since you have cut ties with Chen Jingzhai, you should have stayed out of this.”

Lord Dong sighed softly and transmitted his thoughts over to Chen Jingzhai. He said, “Little friend, have you thought this through? If Lord Yu offers you spiritual herbs, can you afford to accept them? You have obtained the inheritance anyway. Why don’t you surrender the spiritual treasure? Your journey here has not been in vain now that you have obtained the True Venerable Spirit Plane cave residence.”
