Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 826 Ransom

Shi Hao smiled faintly: "If you return to the Immortal Realm, how much treasure are you willing to exchange for it?"

Cui Kaicheng pondered deeply.

Immortal Stones are indeed precious, essential resources for Immortals to cultivate. However, the cost of descending to the Mortal Realm wasn’t trivial. If not for Ding Lingfeng’s Divine Storehouse, which sect would intentionally send juniors to the Mortal Realm for training?

What’s most important is that he doesn’t know exactly how much it costs to descend once, nor the true value of Immortal Stones.

Therefore, he dared not speak out recklessly.

Shi Hao looked at his expression and understood, shaking his head: "You can go. If there’s another chance for you to descend to the Mortal Realm in the future, I’ll give you an opportunity to bid."

Cui Kaicheng felt uninteresting and left dejectedly.

This time he lost both the lady and the army, not only failing to defeat Shi Hao but also suffering a significant defeat and being completely plundered.

Shi Hao tugged at the rope, and those captives behind him obediently started walking.

Now they were utterly convinced. Even geniuses from the Immortal Realm were defeated by Shi Hao, shattering their morale completely.

Resigned.

Shi Hao continued his journey. In the following days, he acquired a few more Mirror Stones, bringing the total to eleven pieces.

Finally, he walked out of the Mirror World.

Completely clueless about how he managed to get out, he stumbled upon a passage ahead, and upon exiting, he found there were nine exits in total.

He tried to enter other passages but found it impossible.

These nine passages likely correspond to nine different realms, and everyone can only walk through the passage that matches their realm.

Shi Hao nodded, understanding this, he returned to his passage to wait.

Firstly, he waited for Weng Nanqing, secondly for the elders of his captives, and thirdly, should he encounter Shi Zhong, he wouldn’t mind engaging in battle.

As time passed slowly, Shi Hao wasn’t idle. He, along with the Purple Gold Rat, refined the resources they looted, watched by numerous captives who were gnashing their teeth.

Those things are theirs, you robbers!

Finally, others began to appear gradually, some from the Great Sacrificial Heaven region, others from different areas.

"Tianyi!" A middle-aged man glanced casually and couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, then revealed an angry expression.

Bold, too bold indeed, someone actually kidnapped a member of the Gao Family, and it happens to be a descendant favored by their ancestor!

He was even more astonished when he noticed not only Gao Tianyi was captured, but quite a few others too, like Consort Geng, who is equally a descendant of a Peerless Great Ability.

He looked at Shi Hao and shouted loudly: "Madman, aren’t you going to release them immediately?"

Such rampant audacity even at the mere Great Sacrificial Heaven?

Shi Hao smiled faintly: "Offer me a satisfactory ransom, and releasing them is naturally not a problem."

"You’re truly obsessed with money!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly, then charged at Shi Hao.

Too naïve, thinking with hostages, he would be afraid to act?

Hmph, he is at the Ascended Saint Position, with an overwhelming advantage of an entire realm, can you even damage anyone in time?

Faced with his attack, Shi Hao neither dodged nor parried, as if the opponent’s assault was too swift for any reaction.

Swish, the speed of an Ascended Saint Position was incredibly fast, instantly striking.

Boom!

However, before he could approach, he was blocked by an invisible barrier.

Eek, he slid off the mirror surface entirely.

—To those of the corresponding realm, the mirror surface appears as water, easily penetrable. Yet, to those outside the matching realm, it’s like Precious Metal, a hundred times harder.

Shi Hao smiled faintly; he had tried it before, otherwise, how would he dare "sell" here?

He didn’t bother speaking, just sat there cross-legged. freёnovelkiss.com

This contrast naturally made the Ascended Saint of the Gao Family even more embarrassed.

"Hahaha!" Some people, unconcerned with the matter and backed by a powerful family, naturally laughed out loud without worry.

The Ascended Saint of the Gao Family forcibly suppressed his anger; the environment here was special, making it impossible for him to deal with the Great Sacrificial Heaven junior. Even if the ancestor came, he could only stare judgmentally.

Because it’s the means of that Peerless Ding Lingfeng.

After a while, finally, a Heaven Building Ladder Almighty walked out.

Here, it wasn’t about who was stronger and could emerge first; the Heaven Building Ladder among the passages was seventh, ranking third from last.

The Heaven Building Ladder saw the scene, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he didn’t leave, choosing to wait.

Before long, more and more people appeared.

Finally—

When a Heaven Building Ladder Almighty walked out, the Ascended Saint of the Gao Family immediately approached, babbling relentlessly.

Then, the Heaven Building Ladder Almighty looked at Shi Hao.

His gaze was like a sword, extremely sharp.

Gao Family’s Heaven Building Ladder, Gao Yuan!

Shi Hao was unafraid; daring to demand ransom, naturally he wouldn’t hesitate to negotiate with a Heaven Building Ladder Almighty.

"Asura?" Gao Yuan began.

Shi Hao nodded: "Greetings, senior."

Gao Yuan smiled faintly; though Shi Hao was a famed figure in the Great Void Realm, in his eyes, he was but a trivial character, really not worthy of respect.

There’s no choice; this is determined by the realm.

"Give me face, release Tianyi, how about it?" he said.

Hiss!

Everyone was taken aback, unexpectedly Gao Yuan was so courteous to Shi Hao.

Yet, more people saw through it, recognizing Gao Yuan’s arrogance.

I’m simply too lazy to talk nonsense with you, directly asking for release.

Just ask, do you dare to refuse the face of a Heaven Building Ladder?

Shi Hao smiled faintly, said: "Senior, face is face, business is business. I’m running a small business, haven’t opened yet, but you immediately ask me to give face. If everyone follows suit, how can I continue this business?"

This statement chilled everyone.

Thick-skinned enough, obviously capturing for extortion, yet speaking lightly of business, and casually conversing with a Heaven Building Ladder Almighty, the courage is admirable.

Gao Yuan was stunned; he never imagined Shi Hao would refuse him.

Knowing he’s not only a Heaven Building Ladder but also at the Absolute Summit level, even among Absolute Summits, a formidable presence.

What gives you such courage?

However, Gao Yuan didn’t make a move.

He had already tried; Ding Lingfeng’s methods were astounding, he couldn’t break them, so if he attacked Shi Hao now, he’d only shame himself.

"Name a price then." Gao Yuan said calmly.

Hiss, Gao Yuan actually compromised.

Everyone gasped internally, feeling incredulous.

An Absolute Summit Almighty actually bowed before a Great Sacrificial Heaven junior.

Upon further thought, this is Ding Lingfeng’s Divine Storehouse, so regardless of Gao Yuan’s strength, can he break Ding Lingfeng’s limitations?

Hence, if he wanted to rescue Gao Tianyi, he had to comply.

Shi Hao was formidable, yet again offending a Heaven Building Ladder.
