In the teleportation array, the three watched Ye Yun with a smiling face. They then looked at the countless sword shadows behind him killing one mini-sprite after another. The corpses fell like raindrops from the sky, instilling a sense of despair.
"Human, I admit your power. But don't think that you can kill us like this!" Facing Ye Yun's gaze, Xuan Yuan felt his breath catch.
"Kill you? Heh heh, relying on this teleportation array's twenty-four-hour safety shield? How much time do you have left?" Ye Yun mocked the three who were visibly nervous, not caring about their thoughts, and walked directly into the safety zone of the teleportation array.
This was a one-way teleportation array, so neither the alien races of the Nine Great Divine Cities nor humans could enter the Nine Great Divine Cities through it. Ye Yun was quite helpless about this.
Six of the Nine Great Divine Cities had come this time. Adding the Immortal City and Divine Realm that Ye Yun had visited, only the Buddhist race had not yet appeared. Given Ye Yun's grievances with the Buddhist race, there was no reason for them not to get involved.
"Hmph, even if it's only a few hours, so what? You killed the Elf Prince, the Insect Race's quasi-saint, and the Saint Lord's disciple from the Ancient Tong race. Compared to the reinforcements that will come later, not only will your nascent Human Divine City not be enough, but even ten times its size would not be enough to handle it!"
As the Demon Son, Xuan Yuan naturally had his pride. Although his strength was not outstanding, his status spoke for itself.
"Heh heh..." Ye Yun, looking at these second-generation elites, felt great disdain. If he hadn't wanted some pawns, he would have killed them directly.
He turned his back to the three and looked at the falling corpses, no longer saying a word.
In less than a minute, all the remaining Elves turned into亡魂 under the illusory shadows of Ye Yun's long sword.
With the demise of the Elves, the battle that had lasted for nearly sixteen hours finally came to an end.
After the battle, Zhou Ningdong and the others did not follow Ye Yun into the teleportation array but returned to the city to rest. For them, the gains this time were immense.
In the past, it was always Ye Yun who supplied them. After distribution, their gains were significantly reduced.
Could it be that this guy was waiting for their safety time to expire before killing them?
In the teleportation array, the three looked at the quiet battlefield. The suffocating atmosphere made the three alien races feel uneasy.
"What do you want to let us go? You can name your price." Finally, Ji Wu Mei, the only woman among the three, could not bear the oppressive atmosphere and spoke first.
"Let you go? Do you think that's possible?" Ye Yun turned to look at the excessively alluring woman in front of him.
"Sir, everything in this world has a price. If you think it's impossible, it's because you haven't found the price you have in mind yet." Ji Wu Mei's enchanting eyes flickered as she looked at Ye Yun's young face, reminiscent of her time in the Demon Immortal Race, where she was full of confidence in every opposite sex.
"Oh? I am a different race. Killing you will earn me rich experience points and a large amount of wealth. Tell me, what price do you think you are worth to me?"
Trying to buy their lives with money? They wished. I want the money, and I want the people too!
Ye Yun looked at Ji Wu Mei, inwardly complaining. He never considered himself a good person or a gentleman. In his previous life, his favorite pastime was bullying Ping Yang Hu.
However, these three were important conduits for him to gather information about their respective divine cities. If he could set foot in these divine cities before level one hundred, his strength would advance at an unprecedented pace.
"How about ten thousand corresponding Saint Stones per person per day?" Ji Wu Mei said instantly when she heard Ye Yun's question.
"Heh heh, if I'm not mistaken, the attacks from your Nine Great Divine Cities will become even more fierce. You've calculated this well. Ten thousand a day, if I can't hold on tomorrow, you'll only have to pay ten thousand. Given your status, you probably have a considerable amount of stones, right?"
Ye Yun looked at Ji Wu Mei and then at An Chen Yu, smiling and shaking his head.
"What if you don't have enough stones to pay? Will you kill them?"
"If Sir can hold on for that long, it means Sir's strength is peerless. If that time comes, then this humble one will obey Sir's command." Ji Wu Mei said alluringly, ignoring the glances from Xuan Yuan and An Chen Yu.
"Haha, good, it's a deal. But I have one more condition. During this period, you must not do anything detrimental to me and humanity!"
Ten thousand Demon Immortal Stones a day, equivalent to one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and for three people, that's three hundred thousand! This was far better than 99% of players struggling to survive on the New Mortal Continent!
Moreover, Ye Yun's objective was not this at all. It was to turn these three into the second Mo Li, puppets under his control of the three great divine cities!
However, this enchanting fox clearly believed he wouldn't be able to withstand the attacks of their Nine Great Divine Cities, hence coming up with this method of buying life.
Without a word, Ye Yun immediately whipped up a Heavenly Dao agreement and threw it at the three half-human, half-ghost beings.
The agreement generally stipulated that the three of them would pay ten thousand Saint Stones of their respective races to Ye Yun daily. In return, Ye Yun and his faction would automatically change their relationship from hostile to peaceful after they paid these fees.
After paying the fees, they could move within Fengle City but were forbidden to approach the East Gate, and all teleportation arrays would be invalid for them.
Of course, there were provisions for debt. If they defaulted on payment for ten consecutive days, they would have to pay a 20% interest on the overdue amount each day, compounded. Once the total amount reached five hundred thousand, they would have to sell themselves! For every five hundred thousand, they would serve Ye Yun for one year. During this period, 50% of all income from them and their faction would go to Ye Yun, automatically transferred by the Heavenly Dao.
"Isn't this a bit too harsh?" Seeing the simple and brutal agreement, Ji Wu Mei hesitated again. She had over five hundred thousand Demon Immortal Stones on her. While she had absolute trust in the Nine Great Divine Cities, for some reason, her heart felt a chill looking at this agreement.
On the other hand, An Chen Yu, who had been silent all along, signed the agreement as soon as Ye Yun sent it over, making Ye Yun suspect that he probably hadn't even read it.
Saint Stones, to them, were currency. Their own attribute growth was related to some special items, or they evolved by killing other creatures.
"Heh heh, you want to live, not me. If you don't sign, then wait for death."
"This young man is quite good. He definitely has a limitless future. Come on, brother, I'll take you to see my city."
Ye Yun patted An Chen Yu's shoulder and eagerly pulled him along, leaving behind a bewildered pair of man and woman.
