While waiting in line, Jiang Hao noticed that people at the front and behind were looking around. They looked afraid of something.

It seemed that the bald man from earlier had made these people afraid due to his background.

But how could Smiling San Sheng be afraid of something like this?

He continued to wait in line.

After some time, it was finally his turn.

“S-Senior, what can we help you with?” said the woman at the counter.

“Do you accept magic treasures here?” Jiang Hao smiled.

“W-we do.” The woman nodded.

“How about this spirit sword?” Jiang Hao took out a regular spirit sword.

The woman looked at the sword with some difficulty. They didn’t accept this kind of spirit sword usually. But she couldn’t say that out of fear.

“This spirit sword costs four spirit stones each. We’ll accept whatever amount you have, friend,” said a sudden voice.

It was a middle-aged man who walked over. He had an extraordinary demeanor. His cultivation realm was at the late stage of the Soul Ascension Realm.

The man escorted Jiang Hao somewhere inside.

The people in the hall let out a sigh of relief.

Many decided that it was not wise to stay here longer than they needed to.

A man immediately pulled the woman beside him and left.

“Brother, why are you in such a hurry to leave?”

“Don’t you know? The Hundred Weapons Tower has a close relations.h.i.+p with the Blood Dragon Sect. The person who was just killed was the hall master of the Blood Dragon Sect. There will surely be retaliation. The man who took that person inside is one of the three powerful experts of the Hundred Weapons Tower. If he really wanted peace, he would have asked us to leave long ago. I think he just invited that person inside to stall for time till the Blood Dragon Sect arrives. This place will become a bloodbath. We need to go.”

“Isn’t that just a tad bit exaggerated? I feel that person acted so recklessly because he is someone important.”

“I haven’t seen him before. He is probably from outside. But even if he is powerful, he needs to be careful. Such arrogance will lead to disaster.”

The two of them talked as they left. They didn’t dare linger here.

Jiang Hao was taken to an elegant room with calligraphy and paintings around.

In the center, there was a simple tea table.

“Friend, please have a seat,” said the middle-aged man and smiled. “I am

Zheng Xuanzhen.”

“I am Smiling San Sheng,” Jiang Hao said with a friendly smile.

Zheng Xuanzhen felt like he had heard that name somewhere but couldn’t recall where.

“Friend, how many magic treasures do you want to sell? We’ll take them all.” Jiang Hao took out three thousand spirit swords.

Zheng Xuanzhen was surprised. It was much more than he had expected.

“Alright.” He nodded with a smile and then asked if there was anything else.

Jiang Hao looked at him and took out a halberd.

This was a spiritual treasure of the Primordial Spirit level of good quality.

He had estimated that its value exceeded ten thousand.

“A halberd?” Zheng Xuanzhen took the treasure and examined it with furrowed brows. “The quality of this magic treasure is good, and logically, the price will not be low. But the halberd is used by very few people, so it might not be easy to sell. So, we might not be able to give you much for it. If the price is too low, I’m sure you might not want to sell it, right, friend? How about this? I’ll go ask my senior upstairs whether he wants this. To rea.s.sure you, I’ll pay the full price for the spirit swords, and five thousand as deposit.”

Saying this, he called for someone to give Jiang Hao seventeen thousand spirit

Jiang Hao agreed to this.

Afterward, Zheng Xuanzhen took the halberd and left. Jiang Hao narrowed his eyes as he watched him leave.

Zheng Xuanzhen went to the upper floor.

He knocked on the door, and someone led him in.

Inside was an elderly man with white hair.

His cultivation was at the peak of the Soul Ascension Realm.

“What’s the matter?” he asked Zheng Xuanzhen.

“That person wants to sell this. I pretended to come here to ask you about it and left him waiting downstairs.” Zheng Xuanzhen took out the halberd and placed it on the table. “He doesn’t seem to know how things work here. He is probably thinking well come downstairs and offer him more. He doesn’t understand that with strength and brute force, one also needs to use their brain. ”

‘What if no one from the Blood Dragon Sect comes?” asked the elderly man.

“In that case, I will go down and buy at the price originally agreed. I’ll inform him that the initial price was thirteen thousand, and I can buy it for fourteen thousand. If he’s not satisfied, I’ll add a thousand more. Then, I’ll hesitate for a while, nod in agreement, and he will feel like he got quite the bargain.”

“But if someone from the Blood Dragon Sect comes, that’s even better,” said Zheng Xuanzhen. “When Blood Dragon Sect arrives here, they will owe us a favor. Even if he escapes, we’ll be able to earn five thousand spirit stones for such an important treasure. He already has an extra five thousand in his hands, so he might not take the risk of coming here if he escapes. I hope the Blood Dragon Sect kills him. That way, we’ll benefit more.”

The two exchanged a smile.

“You guys are really bad,” said a voice.

The two instinctively wanted to explain. They wanted to survive, after all.

However, in just a moment, they sensed that something was wrong.

They were horrified. When did someone else enter the room?

Zheng Xuanzhen wanted to get up, but a fan was pressed against his neck.

“Friend Zheng, why the rush to get up?”

Jiang Hao’s voice was friendly as if speaking to a long-lost friend.

“Friend, this is a misunderstanding.” The moment Zheng Xuanzhen saw Jiang Hao, he broke out in a cold sweat.

He had no idea when Jiang Hao had reached here.

“Really? A misunderstanding? I don’t think there is anything like that.” Jiang Hao shook his head. “I’m actually too kind for my own good. That’s why it hurts me to see how bad you all can be.”

“Friend, I…” Zheng Xuanzhen wanted to explain.

However, the fan pierced his neck.

“I guess it’s better if bad people just die,” said Jiang Hao softly.

Zheng Xuanzhen covered his neck. He was filled with fear and despair. Instinctively, he wanted to use his cultivation to stop the bleeding and mend the wound.

But it was of no use. His power was disrupted and was unable to function.

His primordial spirit seemed to have ignited into a blaze and burned everything.

He fell to the ground and looked at Jiang Hao in pain. He hoped he would be spared.

He only saw that gentle and sinister smile on Jiang Hao’s face.

The smile made him feel queasy.

It was terrifying.

His consciousness began to fade.

Jiang Hao moved the fan and walked to the elderly man who was at the peak of the Soul Ascension Realm. The man had wanted to leave but couldn’t move his body at all.

“Senior, I have a few questions I’d like to ask you. I wonder if it’s convenient for you?”

The man remained silent.

“Not convenient?”

The fan moved, and a severed arm flew into the air.

“It is c-convenient,” said the old man in fear.

He was suppressed by the person in front of him. He could neither move nor speak properly.

He had merely complied with Zheng Xuanzhen’s request. He hadn’t done anything at all. Yet, he had to face such terrifying consequences.

“Then, I’ll start with the questions,” Jiang Hao said softly.

The elderly man broke out in a cold sweat. The more polite this person seemed, the more terrified he felt..
