Chapter 247: Collecting Interest! Dividing Up Luo Cheng!

Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Collecting Interest! Dividing Up Luo Cheng!

Luo Cheng had just stepped out of the private room when he looked up and saw five figures standing ahead.

It was Cheng Gong and several Outer Disciples of the Fierce Cloud Sect.

“Kid, you were quite arrogant just now, weren’t you?!”

One of them looked at Luo Cheng, a malicious grin spreading across his face.

Luo Cheng said indifferently, “What do you want?”

The Fierce Cloud Sect disciple who spoke earlier chuckled sinisterly and said, “Oh, nothing much. Senior Brother Cheng Gong would like you to join him for a drink.”

“I’m not interested.”

Luo Cheng didn’t bother to pay them any attention and turned to leave.

Cheng Gong, however, stepped to the side, blocking his way. A cold sneer appeared on his face as he said, “I’m afraid you don’t have a choice this time! You’re coming with us whether you like it or not!”

“Hold it!”

Before Luo Cheng could respond, a commanding voice rang out from the side.

Qin Ming strode over quickly, accompanied by Ren Qian and Cheng Junxian.

Giving Cheng Gong a sidelong glance, Qin Ming said to Luo Cheng, “Follow me.”

His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority!

Cheng Gong’s expression darkened slightly, and he said coldly, “Qin Ming, don’t think that just because I lost to you by half a move last time, I’m afraid of you! Today, I’m taking this person, no matter what!”

He had never intended to let Luo Cheng go. Now that Luo Cheng was carrying a treasure worth billions, he was even more determined not to let him slip away!

“With just you?”

Qin Ming sneered.

The two were on the verge of clashing when Luo Cheng suddenly chuckled and said, “I say, you two—are you pretending I don’t exist?”

Hearing this, both Qin Ming and Cheng Gong turned to look at Luo Cheng, their gazes icy.

Cheng Gong suddenly laughed and said, “Kid, Linjiang City can’t protect you forever. You killed so many people from the Crown Prince Hall. If you follow him, you’re walking to your death. But if you come with me and play your cards right, I might just spare your life! What do you think?”

“Keep dreaming!”

Qin Ming snorted coldly.

He didn’t care about Luo Cheng’s life, but he was dead set on obtaining the Flame Trace Sword!

At that moment, a figure pushed through the crowd—it was Guo Qing.

Scanning the group, Guo Qing took a deep breath and said to Luo Cheng, “Luo Cheng, Senior Sister asked you to come with us.”

“Who do you think you are?! This is no place for you to speak!”

A disciple from the Fierce Cloud Sect shouted angrily, taking a step forward as a surge of essence energy appeared ready to slam into Guo Qing.

“If she’s unqualified, I wonder if I am.”

A calm voice echoed as Yan Qingshuang approached. Dressed in white, her brows were serene, but with just a glance, the Fierce Cloud Sect disciple who had spoken looked as if he’d been struck by lightning, staggering back several steps with a pale face.

Seeing Yan Qingshuang, Qin Ming and Cheng Gong’s expressions both changed dramatically.

Even they felt immense pressure in the presence of this Luoxia Sect Sword Dao prodigy!

Especially after witnessing that earlier scene—forcing a Tongxuan Realm First Layer martial artist to retreat with just a single look!

Her Sword Skill Cultivation was even more terrifying than the rumors suggested. No wonder there were whispers that she was the most likely of the younger generation in the Three Sects to comprehend Sword Intent!

Taking a deep breath, Qin Ming said, “Yan Qingshuang, this is an internal matter of the Xuanyuan Sect. It has nothing to do with you! You’re meddling too much!”

Yan Qingshuang ignored Qin Ming and instead said to Luo Cheng, “Let’s go.”

The commotion had already drawn much attention from the bystanders.

Seeing Yan Qingshuang intervene, the onlookers began whispering amongst themselves.

“That kid stole Yan Qingshuang’s Flame Trace Sword, and yet she’s still helping him!”

“Haha, maybe they have some kind of connection. But no woman can protect him forever! Offending Cheng Gong and Qin Ming means he’s as good as dead.”

Everyone assumed Luo Cheng would leave with Yan Qingshuang.

But to everyone’s surprise, Luo Cheng shook his head and said to Yan Qingshuang:

“I still have things to handle. I’ll leave Linjiang City in a few days.”

If it had been earlier, he wouldn’t have minded leaving with Yan Qingshuang and the others to return to the sect and cultivate earlier.

But now that he knew someone had placed a hefty bounty on his head, he dismissed the idea entirely.

In twenty days, the Outer Sect Competition would begin, and Luo Cheng wasn’t entirely confident in his goal to dominate the Outer Sect.

Qi Guyun had already decreed that any Crown Prince Hall members who encountered him during the Outer Sect Competition would kill him on sight!

This battle was about life and death—he couldn’t afford any mistakes.

He had to increase his strength as quickly as possible during these twenty days!

Since so many people wanted him dead, it would be a shame not to collect some “interest!”

Neither Soul Crystals nor Spiritual Medicine could compare to the raw potency of fresh Martial Soul Essence!

Seeing Luo Cheng refuse, the crowd was shocked.

Even Yan Qingshuang’s bright eyes widened in surprise.

Guo Qing said anxiously, “Luo Cheng, whatever it is, you can take care of it later. Just come with us now!”

Luo Cheng shook his head. “I really do have things to take care of.”

Yan Qingshuang gave Luo Cheng a long look, then nodded. “In that case, until we meet again. Let’s go.”

Seeing that Luo Cheng had made up his mind, Guo Qing said helplessly, “Take care of yourself. Don’t let anything happen to you.”

“Nothing will happen.”

As Yan Qingshuang and the others left, Luo Cheng turned back to look at Cheng Gong and Qin Ming: “Since you’re not making a move, I’ll take my leave.”

Cheng Gong narrowed his eyes. “Kid, as I said, Linjiang City can’t protect you forever! Think carefully before you speak another word!”

“I’ve thought very clearly. Once I’m out of Linjiang City, we’ll see who’s stronger.”

Leaving those cold words behind, Luo Cheng turned and walked away.

As he approached the auction house’s entrance, he paused to sense the surroundings.

Behind him, several auras radiated killing intent, sharp as blades. In addition to Cheng Gong and Qin Ming, there were nearly ten others—among them even Tongxuan Realm Third Layer martial artists!

With a cold sneer, Luo Cheng turned and disappeared into the distance.

Watching his departing figure, the crowd buzzed again.

“This kid actually refused Yan Qingshuang’s invitation!”

“Tsk tsk, what a fool! Such utter foolishness! He turned down his one chance to survive! Look, Cheng Gong and Qin Ming are following him—they’re going to kill him for sure!!”

Sure enough, Cheng Gong and Qin Ming led their group in tailing Luo Cheng from a distance.

To their surprise, Luo Cheng didn’t leave Lingyun Pavilion. Instead, he took a series of twists and turns, heading deeper into the building.

They followed for a while until they reached a grand hall. Just as they were about to proceed, a yellow-clad elder emerged, saying indifferently:

“Gentlemen, only honored guests of Lingyun Pavilion may enter. Do you possess the Lingxiao Jade Token of this pavilion?”

“This…”

Qin Ming and Cheng Gong were momentarily stunned. With their statuses, how could they possibly possess a Lingxiao Jade Token?

The Jade Token was reserved only for high-ranking elders of sects!

“Since you don’t have one, please leave.”

With a wave of his hand, the yellow-clad elder conjured an invisible energy barrier, forcing them back.

Qin Ming and Cheng Gong were horrified.

This level of power was at least at the Awakening Vein Realm!

Not daring to say another word, they left in a fluster.

Moments later, the group exited Lingyun Pavilion.

“How could that trash possibly have the Lingxiao Jade Token?!” Ren Qian roared in frustration.

Qin Ming nodded. “It’s definitely strange.”

“Who cares about that? Once he leaves Linjiang City, he’s as good as dead!” Cheng Gong sneered.

Saying this, Qin Ming and Cheng Gong exchanged a glance.

The next moment.

Both took three steps back simultaneously.

After a brief silence, Qin Ming said, “I want the Flame Trace Sword. The Earth Snake Soul Crystal is yours. We’ll split the rest evenly. What do you think?”

Cheng Gong nodded coldly and said, “Fine! But I want to kill that brat myself!”

“Deal!”

Having reached an agreement, they decided immediately to station people at all entry and exit points of Lingyun Pavilion to ensure that Luo Cheng couldn’t escape, no matter what.
