Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 160 Debt of 400 Billion

Qian Gu Dongfeng clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands stood out.

It knew it was in the wrong, and besides, Leng Yaozhu was protecting the child.

Qian Gu Dongfeng loosened his clenched fist and looked at Gu You. "I agree, but there's one condition."

"Conditions? There are still conditions!" Gu You exuded a sharp aura.

"If you can accept it, it's just a normal condition." Qian Gu Dong Feng was not intimidated by Gu You's aura.

"Haha, so I've been taken advantage of, and now I have to agree to one of your conditions? Is there anyone in this world who does things like this?" Gu You's eyes were filled with purple light.

"I'm sorry about this. But the condition is that the goods are essential." Qian Gu Dongfeng insisted.

"Tell me about it," Gu You said indifferently.

"You are no longer allowed to enter the Soul Platform," Qian Gu Dong Feng stated the condition.

Do Not Enter?

Gu You grinned. There was no need to fall out with Qian Gu Dongfeng now, since the Qian Gu family had three demigod-level experts. Otherwise, if it were just Qian Gu Dongfeng alone, he would have already started a fight.

Besides, even if the Spirit Pagoda no longer belongs to the Qian Gu family, we can still enter the Soul Spirit Platform.

Or when he becomes a powerful figure across the continent, this ancient family will be wiped out in the blink of an eye.

"Okay, take me to that monument." Gu You agreed, his eyes serious, seemingly sincerely agreeing to the request.

Qian Gu Dongfeng glanced at Gu You.

"Come with me."

Gu You glanced at Leng Yaozhu again, giving him a look that told him not to worry.

Who's worried about him?

Leng Yaozhu was somewhat angry, Pu Xinnan.

A dazzling light enveloped Gu You and Qian Gu Dong Feng, followed by a sensation of being transported underground.

Surrounded by a barrier of soul power, Gu You could sense that he was heading underground.

Only when the soul power barrier began to thin did the scene before them come into view.

The surrounding area is decorated in a style that blends rock and technology, and contains many instruments. Inside, there are many unidentified liquids. Upon closer inspection, some of them even appear to contain living organisms.

That's right, it's full of spirit beasts.

There were countless instruments, densely packed together.

Gu You swallowed hard and continued to follow the ancient east wind.

There were no workers underground, only the sound of machines operating. It seemed completely automated.

The entire underground space was enormous. Gu You followed the ancient east wind for about four minutes, only covering about half the distance.

Qian Gu Dongfeng conjured a dark black card in his hand and scanned it against the detection system on the metal door in front of him.

Suddenly, puffs of white steam rose from around the entire metal gate, accompanied by a whooshing sound.

The metal door in front of us was not only thick, but also six or seven meters tall, and it took six or seven seconds to open.

As the white mist dissipated, Gu You stepped inside. Here, he sensed a connection to his bloodline.

When Gu You saw the true appearance of the item he wanted, he was momentarily stunned.

If he's guessing correctly, what's before him can't be described as a stone tablet; a bone tablet would be a more apt description.

The entire stele is a three-dimensional rectangle, with countless metal pipes inserted horizontally on its surface.

Gu You walked in and touched it, just as his hand was about to fall.

Many images were etched in his mind.

The Dragon God has nine sons, and the Purple Dragon gathers with the Three Sovereigns...

The scene depicts a pale silver-gray dragon that has been cleaved into three pieces by the Dragon God. Its head, tail, and body were blasted away by the energy on the spot, leaving only its torso and bones.

The bones of the torso fell from the heavens of the divine realm and scattered among the mortals.

This happened countless millions of years ago, even before the Dragon God was cut in two, when the dragon race was still thriving.

The passage of time and the changing of the years.

The radiance on the torso bones gradually faded, worn away continuously, until the last trace of divinity disappeared.

The underground world was formed due to the influence of the magnetic field, and the bones of the torso were also fused together for some reason, forming a huge stone monument.

Gu You felt a strange sense of familiarity, and he even unconsciously shed a few tears.

Does this have anything to do with you?

Gu You touched his chest.

Suddenly, he remembered everything!

Stars, Star Dragon Emperor.

The once-powerful Purple Emperor Dragon God was so powerful that even a region of heaven and earth could not withstand it.

Finally, it chose to split off its own power, which formed the three great dragon emperors who later sat down.

Stars, land, and ocean.

But these fragmented histories, the war between the two dragon gods, have long been forgotten by this ancient history.

Gu You sighed. Even the dragon soul was gone. This meant the Star Dragon could not be resurrected.

"What are you doing?" Qian Gu Dongfeng was puzzled by Gu You's state of mind. Didn't you agree to take this thing? Why haven't you made a move yet?

"I just thought of something." A dragon pattern appeared on Gu You's forehead, shimmering with purple-gold light.

The dragon bone stele, which was two or three meters long and one meter wide and thick, was automatically absorbed into my mind.

That's so weird.

This was Qian Gu Dong Feng's first assessment of Gu You's spiritual sea: it could absorb anything. He originally thought Gu You would have a hard time getting his hands on it, given the size and weight of the monument.

And since it's underground, how can we move it out?

He also hoped to use this to dissuade Gu You from taking the stele away, and wanted to exchange it for other conditions.

I never expected this!

Qian Gu Dongfeng knew that this thing couldn't be kept. He even had a thought at that moment: to take action to keep Gu You here.

But when he thought of Leng Yaozhu, he couldn't bring himself to do it. After all, she was his disciple, and someone he valued so much.

Back inside the Soul Tower, everyone was still there.

"Give me the money." Leng Yaozhu looked at Gu You expressionlessly.

"What money?" Gu You scratched his head.

"Half the price of the souls in the Soul Tower," Leng Yaozhu said speechlessly. Gu Yue had indeed not told Gu You the truth.

"Didn't we agree it would be free?" Gu You glanced at Gu Yue and noticed that Gu Yue was too ashamed to face him and kept her head down.

"How much?" Gu You asked cautiously.

"Since you're my apprentice, I'll give you four hundred billion Federal Credits, no more," Leng Yaozhu said with a smile.

Four hundred billion! Gu You's face turned pale instantly. Even if he were sold, he wouldn't be worth that much. He knew that 100,000-year-old soul beasts were precious, but he never expected that two 100,000-year-old soul beasts, plus countless 10,000-year-old soul beasts, could fetch this price.

"What, you're still not getting up?" Leng Yaozhu's tone gradually turned cold.

"I want to pay it back, but I really don't have the money." Gu You felt the crisis of debt for the first time. Four hundred billion, damn, that's more valuable than a third-tier city.

He seriously suspected that Leng Yaozhu had deliberately inflated the price. But then he remembered that a 100,000-year-old soul beast was indeed priceless, so he suppressed the thought.

What should we do?

Gu You was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks. He could only hand over all the money he had on him first.
