Chapter 834: Merely Killing and Plundering
Tie Nutao's mind was at this moment excited and wildly exhilarated, the Immortal Emperor's Treasure, and it's even a weapon.
If he could obtain it, among the Ninefold Immortal Monarchs, he would become the most formidable force.
Just imagine, a Ninefold Immortal Monarch holding the Immortal Emperor's Treasure, could definitely crush any ordinary Ninefold Immortal Monarch.
"Sect Master Tang, is what you say true?" Tie Nutao tried his best to calm the turbulence within him.
"Of course, I am very sincere. Senior Tie, I would never joke about such matters. After all, it concerns the Kao Shan Sect's standing in the Land of Immortals, as well as the relationship between the Kao Shan Sect and the Emperor Sect," Tang Rao said earnestly.
Beside him, Tu Hongxiu looked at Tang Rao, but said nothing.
To be honest, she didn't know what Tang Rao was going to do, but she was sure that Tang Rao would never sell the Immortal Emperor's Treasure to the Emperor Sect or to Tie Nutao.
"In that case, Sect Master Tang can name a price. If it's reasonable, I am willing to purchase this longsword on behalf of the Emperor Sect. It would also be a testament to the collaboration between our two sects," Tie Nutao spoke with apparent elegance.
"If the Emperor Sect wants to buy it, it's three trillion. If Senior Tie wants to purchase it personally, one trillion is sufficient. Consider it a personal discount from me to you, Senior Tie, in hopes that we can become friends in the future." Tang Rao said with a smile.
Tie Nutao was stunned for a moment, one trillion!
Although one trillion is an astronomical figure, Tie Nutao knew in his heart that an Immortal Emperor's Treasure is definitely worth this price.
If this item were to be auctioned off, it would probably start at least at three trillion, maybe even higher.
After all, it's the Immortal Emperor's Treasure, already the most formidable weapon in the Land of Immortals.
Although an Immortal Monarch cannot fully unleash the power of the Immortal Emperor's Treasure, holding it definitely provides a huge advantage. It could even instill immense fear.
Others might even think that you have the support of an Immortal Emperor backing you up, even if they could kill you, they would think twice, thrice, and be extremely cautious.
"Sect Master Tang, I am prepared to purchase it personally. However, I didn't bring enough Immortal Stones this time, could we finalize the deal tomorrow? After today's exchange meeting, I'll go get the Immortal Stones." Tie Nutao said cautiously, fearing that Tang Rao might regret it.
One trillion, he was definitely making a massive profit.
Turning around and selling it would at least net him a profit of two trillion.
An Immortal Emperor's Treasure, three trillion is not expensive at all.
"Of course, we can wait until tomorrow." Tang Rao nodded and said, "Then Senior Tie, I won't disturb you further."
With that, Tang Rao stood up.
"Sect Master Tang, the spring water hasn't been brought yet, why don't... we wait a bit longer?" Tie Nutao said.
"Drink it tomorrow, we'll drink it after the transaction succeeds." Tang Rao said with a smile.
"That works too, Sect Master Tang, please, I hope our partnership will be a delightful one. Rest assured, from now on, the Kao Shan Sect and the Emperor Sect will be allied sects." Tie Nutao couldn't conceal his excitement.
The Immortal Emperor's Treasure is just too tempting for a Ninefold Immortal Monarch like Tie Nutao.
...
"Sect Master, what are you planning?" Once they left the Emperor Sect's side, Tu Hongxiu couldn't help but ask.
"Guess."
Tu Hongxiu: "..."
"I really can't guess, tell me, it seems interesting." Tu Hongxiu clung to Tang Rao's arm, her voice delicate and teasing, nearly making Tang Rao's knees weak.
"Actually, it's nothing interesting" Tang Rao shrugged, "What I plan to do is only four words: Rob and Kill."
When she heard those four words, Tu Hongxiu was momentarily stunned, and then a hint of realization arose in her heart.
She had an idea of what Tang Rao intended to do.
Indeed, it's not interesting, on the contrary, it's very bloody and cruel.
"Alright, well then I won't ask. By the way, did that fool succeed in what you asked him to do?" Tu Hongxiu inquired.
"Of course, everything is under control." Tang Rao nodded, currently, An Tianhu was lying half-dead in a portable palace, having been beaten severely by a fool, leaving just a breath of life.
If Tang Rao hadn't told the fool to spare An Tianhu's life, An Tianhu would have been beaten until he vanished like smoke.
As for Yun Lu, he arrived too late, by the time he left, An Tianhu had already been taken down by the fool. During the Sect Exchange Convention, most of the cultivators in the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple were gathered in the main venue.
Except for some vital spots where guards were stationed, half a day could pass in the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple without seeing a soul.
Therefore, when the fool attacked An Tianhu, no one saw it.
Perhaps Kuzhu and Liu Mingyue saw it, but what does that matter? Liu Mingyue definitely wouldn't intervene, and as for Kuzhu, now that he's in a collaborative relationship with me, he'd probably just turn a blind eye.
Upon returning to the Kao Shan Sect's side, the fool also returned, quietly handing back the portable palace to Tang Rao.
Tang Rao didn't speak much, immediately entering the portable palace.
Upon seeing the battered An Tianhu inside, Tang Rao couldn't help but swallow. It seemed the fool had a deep-seated grudge in his heart. Although he appeared peaceful normally, when he erupted, it was truly alarming.
An Tianhu looked nearly dead, his limbs were broken, his body battered and bloody, his entire face completely disfigured, with a shattered nose, his mouth split open, and teeth all shattered; one eye was swollen red, and the other was burst by the fool, still bleeding.
Tang Rao thought for a moment, then knelt down and placed his hands on An Tianhu's body.
He gave An Tianhu a slight treatment.
Under Tang Rao's treatment, An Tianhu slowly awakened.
Upon awakening and seeing Tang Rao, An Tianhu was so frightened he nearly passed out again.
"Tang... woo, woo, no woo..." An Tianhu stared with the one eye that wasn't burst, speaking something in terror, but it was completely unintelligible.
"Crack!" Tang Rao reattached An Tianhu's jaw.
"Tang... Tang Rao, please... please don't kill me." After reattaching his jaw, An Tianhu's words became somewhat clearer, though still a bit muddled, at least he was understandable now.
"If I wanted to kill you, would I have kept you alive till now? The fool could have shattered your head with a punch." Tang Rao said with a smile.
An Tianhu nodded with all his might.
"It seems, you're quite cooperative. Hmm, I do like people who cooperate. Come, tell me, what did Tie Nutao send you to do?" Tang Rao asked with a smile.
He was happy to deal with spineless characters like An Tianhu, achieving all his goals without much effort.
"Tie Nutao, he... he wanted me to investigate the identities of the people you brought with you..." An Tianhu said.
"Oh, I see, does he suspect that Tu Hongxiu joined Kao Shan Sect because there are important figures from the East Pole Saint Emperor Sect inside? Like, for example, the son of Emperor Dong?" Tang Rao asked with a smile.
An Tianhu's one remaining eye widened in surprise, how did Tang Rao... how could he have guessed...
