Wood Attribute Level Nine Monster Core. Heaven knows how precious this item is. A furious Ninth-Level Beast possesses strength comparable to a Tenth-Level Summoned Beast. Moreover, there has yet to be any sighting of a Tenth-Level Beast across the entire Nine Provinces Continent. The Ninth-Level Beast is already the pinnacle of existence on the continent, requiring at least ten Ninth Level Warriors to participate in its hunt. Its value is truly immeasurable.
Upon realizing the level of the Beast Inner Pill in his possession, Ye Huan honestly felt he couldn't accept it. Given that the reward was already so high, one could only imagine how difficult Dongfang Hao's request must be!
After hesitating for quite a while, Ye Huan steeled himself and shoved the Ninth-Level Beast Core back into the Redwood Box, pushing it directly in front of Dongfang Hao, coldly stating, “Eastern Family Master, this item is far too precious for me to accept!”
“Not accepting? What about your friend outside?”
It seemed as if everything was under control for Dongfang Hao. He leisurely sipped his tea, but his words instantly unsettled Ye Huan. Anger surged within him; if it weren't for the presence of a nearby Scarred Man, he would have summoned a Type 99 Main Battle Tank to see if Dongfang Hao could withstand it, just to vent his frustration.
After feeling frustrated for a while, as his anger gradually subsided, Ye Huan realized that Zhang Ren's life was more important. He simply cradled the Redwood Box in his arms and asked Dongfang Hao irritably, “What exactly do you need me to do?”
Hearing Ye Huan's inquiry, this time Dongfang Hao smiled with satisfaction. He gestured for the Scarred Man to guard the door before pressing down on the armrest of the wooden chair, leaving Ye Huan perplexed.
However, with a series of creaking sounds, as the wooden table shifted slightly to reveal a hidden door just wide enough for one person to pass through, Ye Huan finally understood the purpose behind Dongfang Hao's earlier actions.
Nodding at Ye Huan, Dongfang Hao stepped into the hidden door first, a faint white light illuminating the dark passageway. Following closely behind him, Ye Huan also squeezed through...
The passage inside the hidden door was not long. After walking about ten meters, a room appeared before Ye Huan, roughly the same size as the inner hall. The only furnishings were four stone stools and a stone table. On the table lay dense carvings that immediately captured Ye Huan's attention. He unconsciously walked up to the stone table and began examining it closely.
Noticing Ye Huan's actions, Dongfang Hao casually remarked, “No need to look further; this is a map of the palace terrain in the Southern Xiongnu Empire Capital. I've already prepared a copy for you.”
With his mouth agape in disbelief, Ye Huan seriously questioned whether he had misheard. A map of the palace terrain in the Southern Xiongnu Empire Capital! Who studies such things at home? Unless there were some ulterior motives involved!
‘Could it be that I'm being sent to assassinate the Sovereign of the Southern Xiongnu Empire!?’
Thinking back to all those skilled members of the Eastern Family he had observed through his scope at the inn, such a terrifying thought arose in his mind, causing his face to turn pale and grim.
With a slight smile, having taken in all of Ye Huan's expressions, Dongfang Hao did not speak but instead lifted one side of the stone table, revealing what lay beneath: over a hundred identical Redwood Boxes!
Ye Huan picked up a Redwood Box with a look of uncertainty and opened it. Instantly, he gasped in surprise. Inside the Redwood Box, a fire-element Beast Inner Pill emitted a faint glow. It was clearly the inner core of an Eighth-Level Magical Beast. As for why it wasn't a seventh-level one, Ye Huan already had one of those in his possession, and that kind of inner core didn't emit any light at all.
"Do you want it? If you agree to my terms, everything in here will belong to you, Ye Huan. All you have to do is agree to my conditions!"
Under the illumination of the Fire Elemental Beast Core, Dongfang Hao appeared like a demon emerging from flames, his aged face twisted in a fierce expression as he repeated his words twice.
Startled by Dongfang Hao's demeanor, Ye Huan quickly closed the Redwood Box and instinctively asked, "What exactly do you want?"
"I want the entire Southern Xiongnu Empire to belong to my Eastern Family!" Dongfang Hao fixed his gaze on Ye Huan and declared this statement with deliberate emphasis, his ambitions laid bare.
'Damn it, how is that even possible?!'
Looking into Dongfang Hao's slightly bloodshot eyes, Ye Huan felt as if he had fallen into an ice pit. Internally, he was cursing up a storm, thinking that this was an impossible task.
Ye Huan didn't know what the palace of the Southern Xiongnu Empire was like, but he had visited the palace of Huaxia Nation once. Although he didn't remember much from that time, he clearly recalled that there were at least a dozen Ninth Level Warriors within the Huaxia Imperial Palace. This didn't even account for the slower-moving mages and summoners. Killing the current emperor in such a heavily guarded palace—was that something a person could accomplish?
Just as he was about to say something, Dongfang Hao seemed to snap out of his frenzied state. The redness in his eyes gradually faded as he turned to Ye Huan again and said, "Ye Huan, I’ve thoroughly investigated your situation. I won’t go into details about what happened in the Huaxia Imperial Palace, but since you arrived at Beiyuan City, haven’t you always escaped death? You even caused quite a stir at the Han Residence. What are you afraid of?"
Ye Huan: "..."
He hadn’t expected Dongfang Hao to have investigated him so thoroughly. For a moment, he was speechless, but deep down he disagreed with Dongfang Hao’s perspective. The Han family was just a family within the Southern Xiongnu Empire, while the palace was the hub of an entire nation. Was there really any comparison between the two?
Noticing Ye Huan's hesitation, Dongfang Hao's long experience told him that everyone would find such matters unbelievable at first. He shifted his persuasion tactic and brought up Ye Huan's family: "Ye Huan, the entire Southern Xiongnu Empire is buzzing with rumors about your plan to go to the Southern Xiongnu Empire Capital to rescue your family. Don’t you want things to go a bit smoother?"
Smoother? Hearing this from Dongfang Hao piqued Ye Huan's interest. He looked at Dongfang Hao curiously and asked softly, "What do you have in mind?"
"Haha! I don’t have any specific plans, but I do have plenty of people. If you agree to help me deal with the Sovereign, I can send five Ninth Level Warriors and twenty Eighth-Level Professionals to assist you. How does that sound?" A smile spread across Dongfang Hao's face as he made a gesture across his throat when mentioning the Sovereign, clarifying his intent.
Five Ninth Level Warriors and twenty Eighth-Level Professionals—if this were in Huaxia Nation, not even the former Ye Family could gather such powerful allies; even the Dragon Hall might struggle unless they had even more hidden strength behind them.
With such assistance, if Ye Huan couldn’t rescue his family, it would be a waste of having access to a comprehensive 2012 Arms compendium. Yet there was still something unsettling about it. He turned to Dongfang Hao and proposed a condition: "Master of the Eastern Family, I can kill whoever you want me to; however, I need you to release Zhang Ren!"
"Your friend? Is this..." With his thick eyebrows knitted together, Dongfang Hao clearly looked displeased. However, Ye Huan's next words completely dispelled his doubts as he said, "Master of the Eastern Family, with so many experts from your family following me, do you really think I would go against our agreement?"
Thinking about it, with so many experts from the Eastern Family by Ye Huan's side, if Ye Huan truly had any ill intentions, Dongfang Hao believed that Ye Huan's head would be the first to roll, given his understanding of the family's strength. He couldn't help but agree to Ye Huan's request and nodded.
A precious Ninth-Level Beast Core, over a hundred Eighth-Level Monster Cores, and the assistance of twenty-five experts had saved Zhang Ren. The final outcome of this transaction was uncertain, but at least Ye Huan felt he had made a great profit.
Holding the Ninth-Level Beast Core in his arms, Ye Huan suppressed the urge to swallow it immediately and turned to Dongfang Hao to bid farewell, casually collecting the Eighth-Level Monster Cores as well.
At this moment, Dongfang Hao appeared somewhat reluctant. Did he think he could just leave after taking so much for free?
"I don't want to get involved with your Eastern Family to avoid drawing attention from others. Besides, once I go out, I will take Zhang Ren to the inn where I was staying before. After absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy from these inner cores, I'll come back to find you. Is that satisfactory?"
Seeing Dongfang Hao already reaching out to grab his arm, Ye Huan stuffed the Beast Inner Pills into his clothes without looking back and said this. Dongfang Hao was instantly taken aback.
In truth, Ye Huan hadn't really planned on leaving. With over twenty experts assisting him, rescuing his family would undoubtedly be much easier. As for dealing with the Sovereign of the Southern Xiongnu Empire, if things got chaotic enough, it wasn't impossible for Ye Huan to slip away. After all, there were still over a hundred Beast Inner Pills; if he absorbed them all, it could lead to an explosive increase in power...
Unconsciously, Ye Huan began to fantasize again. He took off his outer garment and held the Beast Inner Pill directly in his hand before striding toward the exit. He didn't forget to say to Dongfang Hao, "By the way, Master of the Eastern Family, could you have that man with a scar by his eye escort me back to the inn? I feel like carrying these things might attract too much attention..."
Looking at Ye Huan speechlessly, Dongfang Han was genuinely curious how Ye Huan had managed to reach the Fifth-Level Summoner realm without realizing that even without the Redwood Box, the Beast Inner Pill emitted a significant amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. He could only helplessly assist Ye Huan in putting the Beast Inner Pills back into their respective Redwood Boxes and planned to send a carriage later to deliver these items to Ye Huan at the inn.
Having sent over a hundred Beast Inner Pills was no small matter; a mere carriage ride was nothing compared to that for Dongfang Hao.
