Jiang Chen unleashed the Yin Ling Jue, and in an instant, the Spiritual Energy within a ten-mile radius began to converge towards him. The Spiritual Energy swirled like mist and silk, and Jiang Chen opened his mouth to swallow it, drawing the energy directly into his abdomen.
In less than a minute, all the Spiritual Energy that Li Yunye had accumulated over decades through his Gathering Spirit Formation was consumed by Jiang Chen. The air around them became devoid of Spiritual Energy, turning dry and lifeless.
"You... how did you do that?" Li Yunye was utterly dumbfounded. His formation required Spiritual Energy to function, and now Jiang Chen had swallowed it all in one go. How could he possibly activate his formation now?
At this moment, Li Yunye truly felt like crying without tears. Even the esteemed elder of Hongmen found himself at a loss.
"Stop thinking about your little formation. It would harm you more than it would help; besides, it’s useless against me," Jiang Chen said, causing Li Yunye's face to flush with embarrassment.
"We... at Hongmen, are willing to offer you one billion dollars," Li Yunye suddenly proposed. At this point, if he still believed he could defeat Jiang Chen, he would be out of his mind.
"One billion isn't enough now," Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
"Then... how much do you want?" Li Yunye asked, frowning slightly.
"How much do you think your life, along with your disciple's life, is worth?" Jiang Chen asked cheerfully.
"Life is certainly priceless," Li Yunye responded.
"Since it's priceless, I won't ask for much—how about one hundred million dollars?" Jiang Chen suggested.
"What? One hundred million dollars? That's impossible! You're really asking for the lion's share!" Li Yunye exclaimed hastily.
One hundred million dollars was an astronomical sum for both Hongmen and the Robert Family.
"I'm not asking for it all at once. Let's do this: ten million dollars a year. If you agree, I'll consider our accounts settled. If not, today you die, and so does your disciple; I will wipe out Hongmen," Jiang Chen said calmly.
His tone was unyielding and aggressive. Meanwhile, White had nearly shrunk his head into his neck; the imposing demeanor he had shown earlier before Jiang Chen had completely vanished.
"I agree," Li Yunye finally sighed in resignation. He didn't believe Jiang Chen was joking; if Jiang Chen dared to kill Yan Xiaotian, he certainly wouldn’t hesitate to kill him as well.
"Good. Jon, come here; from now on, collect Hongmen's annual payments on my behalf," Jiang Chen instructed.
Jon Delson nodded eagerly.
"Now that this matter is settled, let's go," Jiang Chen said as he turned to leave.
"Mr. Jiang, please wait!" Li Yunye called out cautiously from behind as Jiang Chen had barely taken a few steps.
"Li Yunye, your cultivation has reached a bottleneck in martial arts. If you want to advance further, don’t think about it for the next three years. After three years, we’ll see what opportunities and fortunes come your way," Jiang Chen said without stopping as he walked away. By the time he finished speaking, he had already left the villa.
Li Yunye was left in stunned silence. Jiang Chen seemed to have an uncanny ability to read minds and knew what he wanted to ask. However, hearing Jiang Chen's answer only deepened his confusion.
"Mr. Jiang, why wait three years?" Li Yunye shouted after him.
"You're getting on in years; focus on living for another three years first," Jiang Chen's voice echoed from a distance. By the time Li Yunye chased after him, Jiang Chen had already gotten into his car and driven away.
"I can definitely live for another three years, but will I truly have an opportunity and fortune to help me break through my bottleneck after that?" Li Yunye murmured to himself.
