Chapter 374 Jiang Fan's Conditions
True enough, this is speechless!
The Supreme Sect's mine territory is almost gone.
Lu Xiunian was still reluctant to offend the main culprit behind the Seven-Colored Mysterious Ice.
He wanted to brush him off with a reward of ten thousand crystal stones.
Did he think people were fools?
Upon hearing this,
everyone looked towards the door.
Several people found the voice somewhat familiar.
When they saw a figure with crossed arms and steady steps entering the room,
Xie Liushu's face immediately darkened: "It's you?"
He still couldn't understand.
How did Jiang Fan, who was doing fine, end up being wanted by the Sect Master?
Moreover, he escaped successfully from the wanted notice issued by the Sect Master.
The most baffling thing was how Jiang Fan had the guts to take on a task right under the Sect Master's nose before leaving.
As a result, the Sect Master was infuriated.
Several elders were reprimanded because of this.
Countless disciples were implicated as well.
Even Xie Liushu, just because he stepped into the Sect Master Hall with his left foot first, was accused of disrespecting the Sect Master.
He was placed in solitary confinement for three days.
During those days, everyone in the Desires Sect was anxious.
Even the few guard dogs that usually roamed around freely stayed in their kennels, not daring to come out.
Afraid they'd get slapped if they passed by the Sect Master.
What Xie Liushu didn't expect,
was to see Jiang Fan alive and kicking right in front of him.
"Chief Xie, long time no see," Jiang Fan said with a slight smile.
Xie Liushu gritted his teeth: "Thanks to you, I'm just fine!"
He didn't take action to teach him a lesson, to keep the bigger picture in mind.
Of course, the main reason was that he couldn't win a fight.
He had witnessed with his own eyes how Jiang Fan had slain the Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon of the Second Level of Core Formation.
"It's you!"
With a sudden sound,
another figure sprang up from his chair, glaring and shouting.
Jiang Fan turned his head and smiled: "Senior Brother Wang, you are here too."
Wang Yunge was furious: "What are you doing here?"
In the Supreme Sect's disciple competition, Jiang Fan had effortlessly defeated him, making him a laughing stock among the disciples to this day.
He lived in shame day and night, always wanting to seek revenge on Jiang Fan.
To his surprise, Jiang Fan came to him voluntarily!
Jiang Fan calmly said, "Isn't it obvious? Naturally, I'm here to solve Supreme Sect's problems."
"You?"
The people in the room looked doubtful.
Lu Xiunian's face darkened even more.
His favorite new disciple Luo Tianjiao and the most proud disciple Wang Yunge had both been beaten by Jiang Fan.
It had made Green Bamboo Peak lose face.
Especially since Jiang Fan came from the Green Cloud Sect, which he had always looked down upon.
To him, it was nothing short of humiliation.
How could he possibly have a good impression of Jiang Fan?
"This is not a place for your mischief!"
Listening to the displeased rebuke,
Jiang Fan didn't mind and said indifferently: "Junior as I am, I have some understanding of poisons."
"I want to eliminate the mine hazard for the Supreme Sect."
"Of course, if the Supreme Sect is confident in solving the problem, I will take my leave."
Lu Xiunian frowned.
This guy also had knowledge of poisons?
He hadn't heard of anyone from the Green Cloud Sect who excelled in this field.
Wang Yunge, extremely repelled by Jiang Fan, said, "Master, does our Supreme Sect really need to rely on him?"
"We have plenty of ways to solve the Poison Mist."
To him, Jiang Fan was like a thorn in his side.
He didn't want to see him at all.
Lu Xiunian squinted his eyes and pondered.
He also despised Jiang Fan and hated the idea of relying on Jiang Fan to save the nearly ruined mine territory.
But he wasn't sure if Xie Liushu could extract that piece of Seven-Colored Mysterious Ice that emitted dangerous Poison Mist.
And since Jiang Fan dared to volunteer, he must have some confidence.
If Xie Liushu failed, they'd need Jiang Fan to step in.
After all, if Jiang Fan failed, they wouldn't lose anything.
Why not try?
So, he relaxed his brows, tapped the table with his finger, and said, "State your conditions."
Jiang Fan held up two fingers: "First, the Seven-Colored Mysterious Ice is mine."
Before Lu Xiunian could sneer, Jiang Fan continued: "Second, the Supreme Sect's mine territory, give half to the Green Cloud Sect."
As soon as he finished speaking,
the deacons and disciples of the Supreme Sect all rose, angrily denouncing him.
"Outrageous! Are you setting conditions?"
"You might as well take our entire Supreme Sect!"
"How dare you make such a request!"
Even Xie Liushu couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Even when bargaining, Jiang Fan dared to ask for too much,
half the mine territory?
How could he dare to ask?
Back then, to fight for territory, the Supreme Elders of various sects all took part in the battle.
They fought fiercely, shedding blood, to establish the current territorial layout.
With just one light sentence, Jiang Fan wanted to take half of the Supreme Elders' hard-earned gains?
There was no way the Supreme Sect would agree to this!
Lu Xiunian burst out laughing angrily, slamming the table, and shouted: "Are you joking with me...?"
Shouting and shouting.
He suddenly noticed, at some point, a petite figure had emerged behind Jiang Fan.
She casually sat on a chair to the side.
Her eyes closed, saying nothing.
Lu Xiunian's pupils constricted; he almost bit his tongue off in shock.
Qin Wangchuan?
The Green Cloud Sect's most hot-tempered Supreme Elder?
Back when they fought over the mine territory, she was the fiercest.
The Supreme Elders of the Supreme Sect shivered at the mention of her.
How did this old witch come along with Jiang Fan?
Lu Xiunian's face twitched.
He wanted to greet her but saw Qin Wangchuan's closed eyes showing no intention of interacting, and wisely refrained from disturbing her.
Looking back at Jiang Fan, his expression was still unwilling,
but he didn't dare to scold him as he did just now.
"Your conditions are too high, they are difficult for me to accept." Lu Xiunian glanced at Qin Wangchuan, spoke in a negotiating tone.
Wang Yunge was taken aback.
He looked at his master with a strange expression.
At this moment, shouldn't Jiang Fan be kicked out with a single kick?
Why are they negotiating?
"Master, Jiang Fan is here to cause trouble; I suggest we kick him out!"
Wang Yunge said viciously.
Lu Xiunian's eyelids twitched.
Your suggestion is great, next time don't suggest anything.
He said expressionlessly: "A guest is a guest, having another person here isn't bad."
"Jiang Fan, have a seat."
"There is one more person coming, we will discuss more once they arrive."
Xie Liushu's eyes darted around.
Besides him, had the Supreme Sect invited someone else?
But within the Nine-Sect, who else excelled in poison?
No one knew how long the wait had been.
Jiang Fan was holding a tea cup; his gaze suddenly narrowed.
The water in his cup started to ripple.
As if there was some massive vibration approaching from afar.
Lu Xiunian's composed face slightly relaxed, as if filled with great confidence, he calmly said,
"Finally, here they are!"
Boom——
A loud, dull sound, like war drums, suddenly filled their ears.
Boom boom——
The sound got closer.
Like the charge of armored cavalry.
Boom boom boom——
Even closer.
Like giant elephants stomping, causing the ground to tremble incessantly.
The tables and chairs in the room all started shaking.
The large wooden house creaked unbearably under the pressure.
Bang——
The door was blasted open by a massive force.
A fierce gust of wind swept through the room.
Dust and debris flew, grass and trees danced.
The entire house looked as if it was about to blow over!
Immediately following this,
the light in the room suddenly dimmed.
Everyone looked towards the door.
A massive figure, not looking human, stood at the doorway like an iron wall!
