Chapter 80 All Considered Auspicious (Golden Alliance Leader Adds More)

  Although Yunfeng was acting out of kindness, Hu Gao understood his intentions, but he needed the other party to blackmail him, so that he could use the Wind and Thunder Bead to blackmail them back, he didn't believe these people would be unafraid of even the Wind and Thunder Bead, the warriors in the valley, their cultivation was generally below the level of Tongti, the Wind and Thunder Bead could completely annihilate them.

  But now it seems his good idea is likely to come to nothing...

  "Yunfeng, are you really sure you want to stop us?" Bald-headed Wang narrowed his eyes, with a cold glint flashing in them as he stared at Yunfeng.

  In the face of absolute benefit, even if Yun Feng, a top-notch condensed shadow realm expert, blocks him, he will not retreat.

  "Yun Feng, you'd better think carefully. Your Wu Xu Jian Guan may have some strength, but it seems that you haven't sent any top-notch players this time? Are you even thinking of stopping our Tian Ying Adventure Team?"

  Those adventurers also sneered continuously, staring at Yun Feng and then looking at Hu Gao, worried that Hu Gao would take advantage of the chaos to escape, in which case they wouldn't need to continue arguing.

  They had always been worried that Hu Gao would run away, but after observing him several times, they found that not only did he have no intention of escaping, but he seemed to be watching them with great interest. This made them furious - what was so funny about this? Today, they must teach this little brat a lesson.

  "Yun Feng, let me make one thing clear: if you don't back off now, we might have to take action. Are you really sure you can stop us by yourself?"

  Baldy King was getting a bit impatient, although he had some reservations about Yun Feng, but he wasn't afraid. He was an extremely old and seasoned 9th stage peak Condensed Shadow Realm warrior who had studied the Human Stage Supreme Primordial Scripture for many years. Although he hadn't yet reached the Great Completion realm, he had already reached Small Completion. Moreover, his control over the primordial energy was even more skilled, and his combat experience was rich. If it came to a fight, he didn't think he wasn't Yun Feng's match.

  "Hmph, think you can take action? Do you think Yun Feng is afraid of you?"

  Yun Feng's eyes were cold and sharp as a sword, his long sword was suddenly pulled out of its scabbard.

  Yan Jianyun saw Yun Feng draw out his treasured sword, and Guang Tou Wang and the others burst forth with intense Yuan energy fluctuations one after another. Without any discussion whatsoever, they surrounded Yun Feng in the middle.

  Hu Gao saw this scene and suddenly became anxious, hastily stepping forward to say: "Hey, hey, hey... slow down, don't be so eager to start fighting, okay? The person involved hasn't even spoken yet."

  Is it okay to just fight like this? It's also too boring, right?

  "Hmm? What do you want to say?"

  Everyone was shocked at first, but soon found it amusing. Hu Gao had already revealed his true strength, and his cultivation was only at the peak of the Seven Stages' Condensed Shadow Realm, which was too weak for them to take seriously. Unexpectedly, instead of hiding behind, he dared to run to the front, truly making people feel surprised.

  "Hu Gao brothers, don't worry too much, I absolutely won't let them snatch the Black Fire Lotus from you, unless they knock me down..."

  Yun Feng was afraid that Hu Gao would worry about the Black Fire Lotus, so he thought of taking a risk and saying something, and he directly made a guarantee.

  Hu Gao looked deeply at Yun Feng, and with his keen intuition, he could tell that there was not a hint of insincerity in Yun Feng's words, they were completely genuine. He really hadn't expected to meet someone so loyal and righteous in this day and age, and wondered if it was because Yun Feng was still young and in a rebellious phase...

  He patted Yun Feng's shoulder, and Hu Gao lazily stopped thinking about it. As long as he liked Yun Feng, that was enough. He turned his head to look at Wang and the others, saying: "What I want to say is, your fight has become a bit dull, without any excitement. Is it just for the sake of snatching the black fire lotus from my hand to engage in a life-and-death struggle? What if you really die? Don't you regret it? Is it worth it just for these few black flowers of mine? Do you not understand that wealth is an external thing?"

  Listening to Hu Gao's words of preaching, Guang Tou Wang and others were stunned, what is this guy talking about? Why can't they understand?

  "Hú Gāo xiōng dì, nǐ zhè shì..."

  Translation: "Hú Gāo brothers, what's this...?"

  Yun Feng pulled down Hu Gao's clothes, equally perplexed.

  "Hmm? Are you pretending to understand while being confused?"

  Hu Gao looked down on these people, wasn't his intention clear enough? He curled his lip and said: "The matter is simple. I, Hu Gao, am a fine young man who views money as dirt. These small black flowers are nothing in my eyes, and I only picked them because I thought it was fun. If you had asked me politely, I might have given them to you, but now that you're trying to take them by force, I'm not too willing to give them to you directly."

  "Huh? What's going on?"

  Upon hearing Hu Gao's words, everyone's mouth was agape, but soon many people turned their heads away, too fake. It's really astonishing that he could say it out loud, what kind of thick skin does one need to have?

  "Cough, cough, Hu Gao little brother, I just treated Yun Feng little brother with great courtesy. The black fire lotus flowers in your hand, I wonder if you can give me two?" A middle-aged man came up and said, putting on a thick-skinned expression.

  When he saw this person, a hint of disdain flashed in Hu Gao's eyes. Just now, this person was also shouting loudly from behind, and he had seen it all. What a hypocrite!

  "Get out of here and stop embarrassing yourself."

  Bald-headed King slapped the middle-aged man away with one palm, while raising his hand to suppress the noise from behind. He stared at Hu Gao and asked: "I understand what you mean, now tell me, how do you plan to arrange this bet? Are you going to take out the Black Fire Lotus in your hand as a bet?"

  They came to the Flame Valley in search of the Black Fire Lotus, either for cultivation or to sell for money. So, Baldy King suggested that Hu Gao use the Black Fire Lotus as a bet, and no one had any objections. Instead, they stared at Hu Gao with an eager expression, afraid that he would not agree.

  "Of course, this is a must. The purpose of all the uncles and aunts is the Black Fire Lotus, how could I use it as a prop?"

  At this point, Hu Feng's tone suddenly changed, and he said: "Of course, I took out the Black Fire Lotus as a bet, can't you guys take out something of equal value as a bet? Hehe, am I being unreasonable?"

  "You'd better finish what you're saying..."

  Baldy King frowned and said, "Hu Gao is just talking about the bonus, but he doesn't say what it's based on, so it's completely meaningless."

  Hu Gao chuckled lightly and said slowly, "Next, whoever wants to get the Black Fire Lotus just needs to come up and challenge Yun Feng. After all, the conflict just now was caused by both of you. Whoever defeats him will be able to obtain the Black Fire Lotus. As for how many Black Fire Lotuses can be obtained..."

  Hu Gao's gaze swept across the crowd before he spoke, "The price of a single Black Fire Lotus on the market is estimated to be around 600,000 to 700,000 gold coins. I won't set the price that high, so I'll make it a flat rate of 300,000 gold coins for one flower. If you want to bet on all four Black Fire Lotuses together, I'll lower the price even further, to 1,000,000 gold coins. How much gold coins or equivalent treasures can you put up as stakes? Whoever wins in the end will get the Black Fire Lotus from me personally..."

  As soon as he finished speaking, the many warriors behind him suddenly became noisy, and many people were dissatisfied with his words. Because Yun Feng's strength was too strong, not to mention specific combat power, even the surface-level Nine-Stage Peak Condensed Shadow Realm cultivation made more than 90% of people dare not approach, only a dozen or twenty people were on the same level as him in terms of cultivation.

  As for combat power...

  After witnessing Yun Feng's Dongyun Jianji, no one would think he was a rookie. Even if he wasn't much stronger than the old Ninth-Grade Peak Condensing Shadow Realm martial artist, he wouldn't be much weaker either.

  "Hu Gao's brother, what is this..." Yun Feng, who was also involved in the matter, was also somewhat puzzled. These black fire lotus flowers were not necessary to hand over, why did he still want to make a show of it?

  But soon he reacted and realized that Hu Gao had great confidence in him and wasn't worried about losing at all.

  At this thought, Yun Feng's hand tightened around the precious sword in his grasp.

  Hugo brothers, I will definitely not let you down.

  Yun Feng's change, Hu Gao naturally noticed, and his heart also thoroughly let out a breath of relief, he could now plan with peace of mind.

  He didn't look at the people behind him again, his gaze only swept over some of the Nine-Step Peak cultivators in front of him, and said: "How about my proposal? I'm sure you all understand it very well. Am I trying to cheat you? The Black Fire Lotus is barely a good thing, after all. Good things should be obtained by the strong, and Cloud Abundance Brother is still so young, even if he has some cultivation and combat power, I believe he's absolutely not the strongest here. You may know him better than me, I won't deceive you. If you think you can't beat Cloud Abundance Brother, then..."

  Hu Gao shook his head and continued, "In that case, I'm afraid it's not possible. The weak don't deserve to own good things. You can all see that I've only priced the four Black Fire Lotus at 1 million gold coins, and you know Cloud more than I do. There must be more than one of you who has confidence in defeating him. Do you still think I'm not willing to give the Black Fire Lotus to you? I just don't want to give it to the weak."

  "Hu Gao, that's not right. Isn't this obviously looking down on us because our strength hasn't improved yet? Hmph... just because we're weak now doesn't mean we won't become strong in the future."

  Behind him, a 9th-grade condensed shadow realm warrior angrily shouted in discontent.

  "Your sister is so strong! Stop nagging me from behind, or I'll get rid of you!"

  Baldy King turned around and gave that person a fierce glare, instantly making the face of that 9th-stage Condensed Shadow Realm warrior change slightly, hastily withdrawing his head, not even daring to fart again.

  "I understand what you mean now, you're quite perceptive for a young fellow. I rather appreciate you, it's just that your talent is too exceptional, otherwise I'd have taken you on as my disciple, haha..."

  Baldy King really liked Hu Gao's attitude, full of smiles, because Hu Gao treated him as a strong man, he felt that these four black lotus flowers were simply given to him, just with an extra step.

  "In this world, talent is irrelevant; there are only the strong and the weak."

  Hu Gao smiled and said directly, "I don't know how many tricks you plan to use. Are you going to bet one Black Fire Lotus or all four?"

  Another golden master has been added, great!
