C323 Consultation
The moment the Dao Yuan opened his mouth, the faces of the remaining three Nascent Soul Cultivators changed. Even the city lord's eyes, which were filled with killing intent, were hidden away.
After all, Daoyuan was a member of the third-grade sect, the Great Heaven Breaking Sect, and his cultivation was at the late Nascent Soul stage. They couldn't afford to offend him.
However, they didn't want to give up just like that. Although Chen Fan's mysterious aura had disappeared in a flash, the Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses still sensed it. It was the aura of a high-grade spirit treasure.
Generally speaking, high grade spirit treasures were something that only Deity Transformation Stage powerhouses could possess. Existences as strong as Daoyuan only had a few low grade spirit treasures on their body.
Thus, a man's wealth was his own fault. Chen Fan's cultivation was only at the Yuxi Realm, and his high-grade spiritual treasure had already attracted the coveting of these almighty elders.
However, apart from the obvious murderous intent displayed by the City Lord, Bai Xiang, Liu, and Chen Xi showed restraint.
After all, Bai Xiang Liu knew that Chen Fan had the soul of an almighty being hidden within his body. There was no benefit in forcing him into a corner.
Chen Xi, on the other hand, had such a character. Although she was a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse, she wasn't willing to use threats to make others compromise.
Finally, there was this Dao-Yuan. From the very beginning, he seemed to be looking for Chen Fan to do something. This matter must have Cultivation base limitations, and also had something to do with the True Dragon Secret Treasure.
Otherwise, with his cultivation base, he could have just killed Chen Fan and taken the treasure. No one present could stop him.
Therefore, if Dao-Yuan didn't kill Chen Fan, it meant that Chen Fan was definitely more useful to him than a corpse.
Each of these four Nascent Soul stage cultivators had their own ulterior motives, and a stalemate was instantly formed. Although one could say that their cultivation base was the highest, it was still impossible for the three of them to join hands.
It was impossible for a cultivator to reach the Nascent Soul Stage without some trump cards, even though there was a heaven and earth gap in cultivation between the late and early Nascent Soul Stage.
However, this gap was not impossible to make up by relying on a Soul Treasure, so the key lay in Chen Fan's high-grade Soul Treasure.
If Dao Yuan made a move and killed the three of them, then one of them would kill Chen Fan and seize the high grade Soul Treasure. The scene would instantly reverse.
Due to this concern, the Dao-Yuan didn't immediately make a move. Instead, it formed four corners with the other three Nascent Soul cultivators, surrounding Chen Fan.
The four Nascent Soul cultivators stared at each other, their auras fluctuating, but no one dared to make the first move.
Seeing this scene, Chen Fan sneered in his heart, but his expression did not change in the slightest. He indifferently said,
"I don't mind speaking bluntly. I only have a high-grade Soul Treasure on me, but you have four people. Who should I give it to? "Let's not talk about this for now. Master Bai, Master Chen Xi, your disciples are waiting for your rescue. Is it really okay for you two to be in a stalemate here?"
The moment Chen Fan said this, Bai Xiang, Liu Xiang, and Chen Xi's expressions changed. It wasn't that they didn't care about the life and death of their disciples, but the temptation of high-grade spiritual treasures was too great for them.
With a hearty laugh, he glanced at the two of them and spoke with a cold expression.
"Chen Fan has spoken the truth. Chen Xi, Bai Xiang Liu, you two should go find a disciple!" Senior Daoyuan and I will take care of this place. Since all of my disciples have died, I will take it easy! "
Chen Fan sneered in his heart as he turned to look at Star Sea City's Castellan. Star Sea City Castellan was so cold and merciless that he could even talk about the life and death of his disciples. He was truly something.
However, City Lord Xinghai's words were exactly what he wanted. He wanted Bai Xiang Liu and Chen Xi to stay behind with the City Lord and Dao Yuan.
Since the Star Sea City Lord had tried to kill him many times, he could not spare him.
Since Daoyuan needed his help, he should be happy to help him. At most, he could just help Daoyuan out.
Furthermore, killing a Star Sea City's Castellan without a sect background wouldn't affect Daoyuan in any way.
While Chen Fan was calculating in his mind, Chen Xi was already clenching her teeth. She glared at City Lord Xinghai, brushed her hair, and slowly said,
"How about this! Senior Daoyuan probably isn't confident enough to kill us in an instant. Furthermore, if you kill me, the Beast God Sect and the Great Development Sect will definitely fight to the death. There's no need for Senior Daoyuan to do that! "
Chen Fan knew that things weren't going well when Chen Xi spoke. This woman didn't seem to give up at all. Instead, she put on an appearance of negotiating. No matter what the outcome of the negotiations was, it would affect his plans to kill the Star Sea City's City Lord.
Sure enough, after a pause, Chen Xi continued, "Why don't you let Chen Fan work for Senior Daoyuan! After this matter is completed, the high-grade spirit treasure on him can also be returned to Senior Daoyuan. However, Senior, do you need to compensate each of us with a low-grade spirit treasure? "
It had to be said that Chen Xi's suggestion was very tempting. Even Dao Yuan was tempted. He had a lot of low-grade spiritual treasures, but there were very few high-grade spiritual treasures.
The Grand Development Heavenly Sect wasn't any professional refining sect. The magic treasures of their sect's cultivators were mostly forged by themselves or purchased from other sects that specialized in refining.
However, even sects that specialized in refining would need their own cultivation to reach the late stage of the Nascent Soul Stage to refine a high quality Soul Treasure, and they would have to spend a lot of their own cultivation to do so.
It could be imagined how precious a high grade spirit weapon was. A high grade spirit weapon was more than enough to exchange for a hundred low grade spirit weapons.
If he agreed to Chen Xi's request, Dao Yuan would be obtaining Chen Fan's high grade Soul Treasure for nothing, and he would be able to get Chen Fan to do one thing for him.
When he thought of this, Dao Yuan's pair of old and narrow eyes slowly opened, revealing a pair of pure black pupils. He slowly said, "Sect leader Chen Xi's conditions are very generous. This old man agrees. This old man owes you a favor!"
"Thank you, Senior Daoyuan!" Hearing that Dao Yuan agreed, Chen Xi quickly expressed her gratitude.
She already felt that it would be very difficult for her to snatch Chen Fan from Dao Yuan, so she took a step back in exchange for a low grade Soul Treasure and a promise from Dao Yuan. Why was she not willing to do that?
"Oh right, everything has been resolved here. I have to go find the disciple from my sect! As for that low grade Spirit Treasure, I trust Senior Daoyuan's credibility. When you have the time and time, you can send it to my Beast God Sect! "
Clasping her fist, Chen Xi's face was filled with unconcealable joy. She turned around and left like a ray of light.
Daoyuan also nodded in agreement. Once Dawn left, Bai Xiang Liu and the City Lord of Star Sea City were put in an awkward position.
Right now, they were only two people. Even if they teamed up, it would still be difficult for them to stop a single Dao Yuan. It would be impossible to obtain a high grade Soul Treasure from Chen Fan.
Only someone like Chen Xi could ask Dao Yuan for two low grade Soul Treasures. Furthermore, since they had spoken too late, Dao Yuan would not agree.
