After the Skyfall

Chapter 696 A Rich Reward

It can be said that Shang Zhu Xiu Xiang has grasped the lifeline of the Shenmu lineage, because he has a direct descendant warrior of the divine blood in his hands, which means that there is a high probability that the divine blood of the Shenmu lineage will be spread out.

These words made the high priest Mu Wu's face turn dark instantly.

He absolutely would not allow another group of God Blood Warriors to appear on this ancient land. This would be a betrayal to their ancestors and would shake the foundation of the God Tree lineage.

The reason why the warriors of the sacred tree lineage have been able to pass on for countless years without weakening is because their sacred blood and the sacred tree are of the same origin. Relying on the protection of the sacred tree and the golden leaves brought by the sacred tree, they can prosper forever.

Xiu Xiang understood this very well, so he was not satisfied with one hundred leaves of the sacred tree. He needed something more, even if it meant completely offending the sacred tree lineage.

At worst, the whole family can move to Chijin Mountain.

That is the territory of Lord Dayi, where Xiu Xiang can definitely thrive and live a very rich and healthy life.

"The blood of the Shenmu lineage cannot flow in the bodies of outsiders. Mu Tuo, the direct descendant of the divine blood, must return to Shenmu City. Lord Merchant, you are really courageous to sell our Shenmu warriors as rare goods. As a wealthy Shenmu City, I am willing to pay five times the previous price to redeem Mu Tuo and Mu Shu." The high priest Mu Wu could no longer hold back, and he offered his own price.

He increased the price fivefold in one go because he didn't want to keep bargaining like the lowly merchants.

But Xiu Xiang still shook his head: "Five hundred sacred tree leaves are not enough to redeem those two rare items."

The high priest Mu Wu's face turned cold, and his burly body stood up directly from his seat. The golden leaf-like patterns on his body were now shining with golden light, and the entire hall was glowing with golden light.

This golden light was sacred and dazzling, but it also revealed a fatal crisis. If it were a little stronger, it would completely dissolve the merchant in front of him, as if he had never appeared in this world.

"Your greed makes me angry."

"As a merchant, you must be greedy. I have sold goods worth one gold for one hundred gold, and I have also sold goods worth one thousand gold for two hundred gold."

Xiu Xiang was no longer afraid, but asked seriously: "Does the high priest know the reason?"

The high priest Mu Wu said, "Goods have different values ​​in the eyes of different people. I understand what you mean. You have indeed obtained two very precious and rare goods. I can endure my anger this time and give you the right to make an offer."

When he saw that this merchant was not even afraid of death, he knew that he had no other options.

Mu Tuo and Mu Shu must be rescued. Even if we put aside their identities as divine blood warriors, they are also mountain master-level warriors. There are not many such warriors in the Shenmu lineage.

The leaves of the sacred tree are indeed precious, but some of them fall off every year, which is nothing to the sacred tree lineage.

The fighters are the most important.

Xiu Xiang said, "I need a thousand leaves from the sacred tree, and a branch from the sacred tree that is at least thicker and longer than me."

"what?"

When the price came out, everyone else in the hall was shocked.

This person really dares to ask for the branches of the sacred tree.

The high priest Mu Wu's eyes were also filled with anger and flashing with divine light. He couldn't help but clench his fists, wishing he could beat this extremely greedy guy to death with one punch.

But reason told him that he couldn't do that.

Just as Mu Sang Gong said, after killing this merchant, all the merchants in the world will refuse to do business with the Shenmu lineage. At the same time, it is also telling others not to rescue the warriors of the Shenmu lineage when they encounter danger, because the Shenmu lineage will kill their saviors.

The Shenmu lineage simply cannot bear such serious consequences.

"I will kill you." However, the divine blood warrior named Mu Yan could no longer tolerate such a thing. He roared, and his body instantly turned into a golden light and attacked Xiu Xiang.

The red-gold spear in his hand has already chopped down.

At this moment, it seemed as if the space was torn apart and the entire hall was shaking violently.

"stop."

But the high priest Mu Wu took action at this moment. He shouted loudly, and with just one move he stopped Mu Yan before he could kill Xiu Xiang, and punched Mu Yan in the face.

boom!
Mu Yan flew out instantly and crashed into the ancient hall.

However, the high priest Mu Wu controlled his power very delicately, and while he knocked Mu Yan away, he did not cause much damage to him, but only made his face swell up.

"High Priest, let me kill this merchant. He is humiliating our Shenmu lineage." Mu Yan immediately stood up and shouted loudly.

He was not angry at the high priest's punch.

In the Shenmu lineage, the status and identity of the high priest are supreme. Even if he is killed by that punch, no one else will say anything.

"Shut up." Wood Witch shouted, "It's easy to kill a merchant, but it's very difficult to rebuild the reputation of the Shenmu lineage. He saved our Shenmu warriors. If we kill him, no one in the world will believe in our promises anymore. The golden blood flowing in our bodies will be stained with meanness and ugliness, which can never be washed away in this life or the next."

"Mu Yan, do you want your ancestors to be ashamed along with you? Or will your descendants be ashamed of having golden blood in their bodies one day in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yan's impulsive heart was immediately poured with a bucket of cold water and calmed down instantly.

His eyes flickered, not knowing how to respond to the high priest's words.

"But, but we can't let a lowly merchant take away our one thousand golden leaves and a branch of the sacred tree." He gritted his teeth, very unwilling.

He clearly possessed such powerful strength, but he was unable to kill a merchant leader who was as small as an ant.

This made him feel very depressed.

Mu Wu did not reply, but turned to look at Shang Zhu Xiu Xiang and said, "Is this the reward you asked for?"

"Yes, this is the reward I ask for, a thousand leaves of the sacred tree, one branch of the sacred tree, nothing can be less. If the high priest disagrees, you can take my life. I will not resist." Xiu Xiang said firmly.

Mu Wu asked again: "Can you ensure that Mu Tuo and Mu Shu come back alive?"

"I can promise that the two divine blood warriors will return safely." Xiu Xiang said.

The anger on Mu Wu's face gradually disappeared, and he said gloomily again: "Okay, as the high priest of the sacred tree, I agree to your request. I am willing to spend a thousand sacred tree leaves and a sacred tree branch to redeem Mu Tuo and Mu Shu."

"Thank you for your generosity, High Priest. Merchants all over the world will spread your good name. In the future, when warriors of the Shenmu lineage are in trouble, countless warriors will be willing to lend a hand and help them."

Xiu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and then said respectfully.

After hearing this, the high priest Mu Wu's expression looked a little better.

At least, this generous reward bought back two divine blood warriors and a reputation that spread throughout the world. This is very helpful for the inheritance of the Shenmu lineage. In the future, there will definitely be many people willing to help the warriors of the Shenmu lineage, and in return, many friends will be gained.

As a wise man, he certainly understood these benefits.

It’s just the price that makes people feel sad.

After the deal was settled.

soon.

A warrior from the Shenmu lineage came and brought two boxes.

Both boxes were made of pure gold. One small box was filled with golden leaves, neatly arranged, a total of one thousand pieces. The other box was long and contained a branch of a sacred tree.

Even inside the red gold box, the branch still radiated endless energy, like a part of the sun, sacred and extraordinary.

Even though they are descendants of the sacred tree, they rarely cut down the branches of the sacred tree. Only under special circumstances will they trim the extra branches for the sacred tree. This section is a part that was trimmed hundreds of years ago.

After getting the due reward, Xiu Xiang immediately ordered the warriors of the Shenmu lineage to go to the designated place in the city to rescue Mu Tuo and Mu Shu.

Soon.

The two seriously injured and unconscious Divine Blood Warriors were sent to the City Lord's Mansion and came to this hall again.

When the high priest Mu Wu saw Mu Tuo and Mu Shu, his expression changed slightly.

Although the two people are still alive, they were seriously injured.

Moreover, one of Mutaku's arms was almost broken, and there was a special power remaining on it, which was another power of the direct descendants of divine blood.

"Breath of thunder and lightning" the high priest Mu Wu thought thoughtfully.

He remembered that there was a record in the ancient bamboo slips that there was a god in the northern wilderness who controlled thunder and lightning, died in the mountains, and his divine blood was cut off.

Could it be that the divine blood warrior with the power of thunder and lightning has appeared again?
In the wild world, the source of every divine blood is a god.

Through the power contained in the divine blood, one can immediately find out which god the person is a descendant of, where he lives, what abilities he has, and whether there is a family inheritance of divine blood.

"I will take you to the hospital for treatment. When they wake up, I will ask them what disaster they encountered, why the ten warrior leaders of our Shenmu lineage died, and why Mu Xi disappeared."

Then, the high priest Mu Wu said with some anger.

"We must find the murderer, retrieve his head, and use his blood to wash away the shame of the Shenmu lineage."
