Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie had Zhu Yanlei show the elders of the three ancient emperors' families the notebook recording their weights.

The heaviest of the six imperial grandsons did not exceed 130 jin.

The lightest even only weighed close to 120 jin.

For eight-foot men with heights of over 1.8 meters, such weight meant they were practically just skin and bones.

The beards of the three elders trembled.

The faint sense of relief they felt earlier at the thought of conserving resources due to the grandsons' low weight vanished without a trace, replaced by anger and heartache.

What miserable state had the bodies hidden beneath the imperial grandsons' clothes withered into to reach such a weight?

They used to be so strong and healthy, but looking at them now, it was truly a tragic sight!

And it was all because of the young man before them!

This young man from the Godly Ancient World, only at the Reincarnation Eternal God Realm!

He was the one who had tormented their imperial grandsons into such a state!

They remained silent for a long time before forcibly calming their emotions.

"Jun Wuxie, if we are pricing based on weight, the kind of resources we can offer from our reserves are extremely scarce.

We have already stated this before.

One liang of rare immortal treasures per jin is simply not realistic.

We believe that one qian of rare immortal treasures per jin is more or less appropriate.

Even so, we might barely be able to scrape together enough by scouring our treasuries.

Any more, and we truly have nothing!"

"You say that what Jun Shen is asking for is unrealistic, but do you think the price you're trying to cut is realistic?

Going from one liang per jin to one qian per jin is practically a 90% discount.

What do you take them for? They are, after all, imperial grandsons of your families. Are they so cheap and worthless, like goods on a roadside stall being sold off at a massive discount?"

Zhu Yanlei retorted sharply.

These people's price cuts were too outrageous, directly offering only 10% of the original price!

The elders of the three ancient emperors' families were incredibly angered that a mere guard captain dared to speak to them in such a manner.

However, they could only endure it, suppressing their anger and saying, "Our counteroffer is based on our actual situation.

We would also like to give you that much if you want one liang per jin, so we can smoothly bring our families' imperial grandsons back.

But the truth is, we simply cannot produce that much.

Where are we supposed to find so many rare immortal treasures?

Even at one qian per jin, with two imperial grandsons from each ancient emperor's family, we would still need to pay over two jin of God-Rank Three rare immortal treasures!

Do you truly not understand what two jin is?

Did you obtain a large number of God-Breaking Pills within the secret realm and think that such things are not that scarce!

You are gravely mistaken!

The value of the God-Breaking Pills from the secret realm far exceeds your imagination!

Even Emperor Realm experts might not be able to produce a single one!

Immortal treasures with 20% of the effect of a God-Breaking Pill, one qian per jin is truly our limit. We are not lying to you!

Regarding the future of the imperial grandsons, we are negotiating with you with utmost sincerity, not deliberately trying to lower the price!"

"One qian per jin, for six people, that's only a little over seven jin of immortal treasures in total.

That amount is too little.

Although you say you are full of sincerity, I can't feel any sincerity from you at all.

It is undeniable that such resources are indeed scarce.

Prices can be negotiated, and you have the right to cut the price, but it shouldn't be so outrageous.

How about this, in light of your difficulties, let's discuss a total price.

I'll sell you the six imperial grandsons as a package deal for a total of twenty jin of rare immortal treasures.

The three of you ancient emperors' families can pool together. Once you've gathered enough, we'll exchange immortal treasures for people.

Then, you can go back and divide these six imperial grandsons among yourselves."

"No, that's too much! We simply cannot produce that much!

It's not that we don't want to give it to you, but we don't have it!

Ten jin, we can gather a maximum of ten jin!"

Jun Wuxie did not respond.

He leisurely took a sip of tea, slowly put down the teacup, and looked at the elders of the three ancient emperors' families, "One final price, fifteen jin, not a single qian less.

This is the bottom line.

If you agree, go back and gather the resources, and bring the immortal treasures to exchange for people.

If you don't agree, then I'm afraid I'll have to peel away their Dao Fruits right in front of your eyes."

"Don't!"

The elders of the three ancient emperors' families hurriedly shouted.

In any case, the imperial grandsons could not suffer any more mishaps.

Now that they were negotiating the price in front of the imperial grandsons, if they put them in danger, the imperial grandsons' current state of mind might cause them to hold grudges.

After all, they had suffered too great a blow now, and they must be harboring violent anger in their hearts.

"How about this, let us consider it.

The three of us will discuss it and give you an answer tomorrow, how does that sound?"

"Of course, that's fine. Then you must consider it carefully."

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he looked at Zhu Yanlei, "Take the six of them to the Ministry of Justice and imprison them in the secret prison of the Ministry of Justice."

Zhu Yanlei immediately led his men to escort the six imperial grandsons away.

"The three of you, I hope you don't play any tricks. Peace and quiet are essential for a bright future."

"We know what to do, we don't need you to remind us. We'll see you tomorrow!"

The three elders immediately left. The expressions they had been trying to control twisted the moment they turned around.

They quickly left the city and entered the mountains outside the city, disappearing from Jun Wuxie and the others' sight.

"They just accepted it like that?

I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Hua Lianyue looked at the mountains where the three disappeared, lost in thought.

"Ruoqing, the few of you go and guard near the Ministry of Justice."

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he conveyed a few more words to them through divine sense.

"Alright."

Xiao Ruoqing, Qingyue, Shangguan Wanwan, and Mo Qingli immediately left.

Jun Wuxie then led Yue Yao and Hua Lianyue and the others back to the imperial palace.

… …

Within the mountains, beneath a towering ancient tree on a certain mountain.

The elders of the three ancient emperors' families stood shoulder to shoulder, facing the direction of the imperial city.

Their expressions were extremely gloomy, their features even twisted by anger and violent killing intent, making them look very frightening.

"That ant surnamed Jun is utterly hateful!

He actually treats our imperial grandsons like merchandise to sell to us!

He妄想 (wàngxiǎng - vainly hopes) to obtain such special immortal treasures from us, clearly wanting to break through his realm and increase his strength before the outbreak of the Doomsday Torrent!

He killed so many people from our ancient emperors' families, peeled away the Dao Fruits of geniuses and imperial grandsons, and still wants to obtain world-shaking resources from us!

This person is truly daydreaming!

Little does he know that we came prepared this time, how could we be led by the nose by him!"

"Today, the imperial grandsons' condition is very bad, their mental state is extremely poor.

We must not let them continue to stay in the Godly Ancient World no matter what.

Otherwise, who knows what kind of torment they will endure, and it might even cause unimaginable damage to their Dao hearts!"

"Hmm, that's for sure.

Tonight, we will take them away, without anyone knowing.

This was originally just a backup plan, we made a preparation here, not knowing if it would be used.

Unexpectedly, that Jun surnamed Jun gave us the opportunity.

If he had trapped the imperial grandsons in his artifact space, we might not have had a way.

But he imprisoned the imperial grandsons in the secret prison of the imperial court's Ministry of Justice, it's simply a godsend!

This person is extremely confident in himself and the women around him.

Imprisoning the imperial grandsons in the secret prison of the Ministry of Justice is proof of that.

Those women are indeed not weak.

In addition, this is their territory, and there may be other means. With them guarding around the Ministry of Justice, it is indeed difficult to sneak in silently.

But that is for normal circumstances.

We have special artifacts on us, which are not included in this category.

That Jun Wuxie will never think that the foundation of the ancient emperors' families is so deep.

Some things exceed the limit of his cognitive abilities."

"This time, we are only here to rescue the imperial grandsons. In the future, when he goes to the Primordial Great World, we must settle the score with him and let him know how terrible and hopeless it is to provoke the ancient emperors' families!"

"Is tormenting him alone enough?

We must also let him watch those he cares about the most die in despair, making him suffer more than death, that's what's interesting!"

The three of them sat down cross-legged under the ancient tree, but their eyes were always on the imperial city, especially the location of the Ministry of Justice in the imperial city, where all the movements were captured by them.

… …

At the same time, Jun Wuxie, who had originally returned to the imperial palace, quietly appeared in the secret prison of the Ministry of Justice.

Within the imperial palace, his figure was still there.

However, that was his Primal Chaos Avatar.

His true body used the Lesser Void Art to sneak into the Ministry of Justice.

The elders of the three ancient emperors' families had been paying attention to the Ministry of Justice, and also paying attention to the imperial palace.

But they did not see anything.

When Jun Wuxie appeared in the secret prison, the imperial grandsons of the three ancient emperors' families were all terrified.

They suddenly had a feeling that doomsday was coming.

Hadn't they just had a good talk with the family elders?

Yet at this time, Jun Wuxie came here.

Was he planning to use some terrible means on them?

"You all seem very scared?"

Looking at the expressions of the six people, Jun Wuxie couldn't help but smile gently, "Don't panic, I won't hurt you.

Since I have already discussed cooperation with your family elders, as the seller, I will naturally ensure the integrity of the goods being sold."

The two words "goods" made the six imperial grandsons' bodies tremble, and a huge sense of humiliation surged in their hearts.

But they didn't say anything, and didn't even show hatred.

Only one last step!

As long as they got through tonight, the elders would be able to take them away tomorrow.

They knew very well in their hearts that the family elders had no choice.

As for abandoning them for the sake of resources, that was impossible!

Although the family elders were the leaders, with a very high status.

However, they didn't have the guts to abandon the Imperial Grandsons for the sake of resources!

Seeing that they were about to escape the sea of suffering and leave this terrifying abyss of hell, they absolutely couldn't allow any problems to arise before that!

Therefore, no matter how humiliated they felt inside, they had to endure it, they had to endure!

They told themselves this over and over again in their hearts.

Looking at the way these Imperial Grandsons swallowed their anger, Jun Wuxie didn't say anything more.

However, his eyes suddenly burst forth with dazzling chaotic golden light.

This was not the light of blood energy, but the light of the soul.

Mysterious runes evolved within his pupils.

The six Imperial Grandsons never expected that he would suddenly use soul-related secret techniques on them.

The moment their gazes met his, their bodies and minds trembled violently. They only felt a buzzing sound in their heads, followed by a blankness, as if their consciousness had fallen into chaos.

The six of them looked dazed, their expressions muddled, as if they had lost their souls.

"Sleep, until someone comes in to wake you up.

At that time, you can indulge your desires to your heart's content."

Jun Wuxie's voice, like a demonic sound, poured into the minds of the six Imperial Grandsons, planting a will within their minds.

The six of them were muddleheaded, like walking corpses. They turned around, walked to the ground covered with dry grass, lay down side by side, and instantly entered a state of deep sleep.

Seeing them fall asleep, Jun Wuxie began to set up measures here.

Using his own chaotic golden blood energy as the source, fusing the rules of the Dao, and using the Primordial Rune Dao as an auxiliary, he laid down a formation similar to a rune array.

This method was very secretive, blending with the aura of the earth's dragon vein, which could achieve perfect concealment and would not be noticed by others.

"If it weren't for your family's rare resources, why would I have to put in so much effort?

However, this has saved your lives, although the process may be a bit difficult for you to accept.

Therefore, you better not come tonight. If you must come, I can only say, enjoy it, it will definitely be unforgettable and deeply engraved in your memories."

Jun Wuxie looked at the slowly disappearing array, and a strange smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

He left the Ministry of Justice's secret prison.

He secretly ordered that no one was allowed to enter the secret prison.

At the same time, he informed Xiao Ruoqing and others with his divine sense that no matter what happened in the Ministry of Justice's secret prison, they were not allowed to step into the Ministry of Justice's prison area.

After instructing them, he quietly returned to the palace, replacing the Primordial Avatar in the palace with his true body without leaving a trace.

After that, he leisurely chatted with Yue Yao, Jingya, Yan Yu, Chan'er, and the others.
