Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

"I was unaware of your arrival, sir, and have failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me!"

With Jin Zhan bowing.

The tens of thousands of elite soldiers behind them also lowered their proud heads in unison.

This is crushing.

One person can suppress an entire clan.

Su Yu looked down at Jin Zhan, who was bowing his head.

Its body slowly descended.

It stopped less than three zhang away from Jin Zhan.

"Are you the clan chief?"

Su Yu's tone was indifferent.

"Yes, Jin Zhan."

Jin Zhan didn't even dare to lift his head; his back was already soaked with sweat.

Su Yu nodded slightly.

"Don't be nervous."

"I'm not here today to exterminate your entire clan."

Upon hearing this, Jin Zhan, Jin Ting, and the others all breathed a long sigh of relief.

But Su Yu's next words made their hearts leap into their throats again.

"Your people made a promise to me last time in the Crimson Gold Sand Sea."

"One hundred million Primordial Origin Stones."

Su Yu looked at Jin Zhan.

"Are you ready?"

Jin Zhan's body stiffened abruptly.

One billion.

Of course he knew about it.

When Jin Ting returned to report, he almost fainted.

To raise this astronomical sum, he has practically turned the Dark Gold Mountain's treasury upside down these past few days, and even forcibly confiscated the private savings of the clan elders.

However, they only managed to raise 30 million.

Dark Gold Divine Mountain.

Above the main peak square.

The wind seemed to have stopped flowing at that moment.

Tens of thousands of elite warriors of the Dark Gold Suanni clan kept their heads bowed, not daring to even breathe loudly.

The air was filled with a kind of oppressive atmosphere that made one's soul tremble.

Jin Zhan stood in front of Su Yu.

This dignified patriarch of the Primordial Clan, who was at the early stage of the Primordial Realm, had his back completely soaked with cold sweat.

He slightly raised his head and looked at the calm-looking young man in front of him, dressed in a coarse cloth robe.

My heart was pounding violently in my chest.

Hands-on?

In a fraction of a second, this thought flashed through Jin Zhan's mind.

He was at the early stage of the Primordial Chaos Realm.

It was a whole major realm higher than the early stage of the Primordial Chaos Realm that the opponent had outwardly displayed!

Dimensional suppression.

If I were to suddenly launch an attack at such close range, using the full strength of my clan, would it be possible to suppress and kill this peerless prodigy here?

but.

The thought had barely formed when Jin Zhan ruthlessly extinguished it.

dare not.

I really don't dare.

How did Kim Yeol die?

Even with the Dark Gold Blood of Calamity burning and unleashing the ultimate power of the pseudo-Primordial Chaos, they were no match.

Although I am at the early stage of Hunyuan, I am somewhat stronger than a pseudo-Hunyuan.

But how much stronger can it be?

Is it really possible to kill instantly?

What's more, this kid dared to come to Dark Gold Mountain all by himself.

Facing an army of tens of thousands, he remained completely calm.

What gives them such confidence?

What if he still holds some trump card that could overturn the entire Dark Gold Mountain?

If I were to take action, the entire clan would be doomed.

You can't gamble.

Jin Zhan swallowed hard.

They adopted the lowest possible stance.

He shakily pulled a storage ring that shone with a dark golden luster from his pocket.

Holding it in both hands.

It was handed to Su Yu.

"grown ups."

Jin Zhan's voice was hoarse, conveying a deep sense of powerlessness and bitterness.

"This ring contains thirty million Primordial Origin Stones."

"This is the limit that our clan has barely managed to scrape together after selling off everything we own, including countless peripheral industries, and even draining our treasury."

"Any more..."

Jin Zhan lowered his head.

"There really aren't any left."

poor.

A once-great ancient clan, with a lineage spanning countless eons, has been forced to the point where it can't even come up with working capital.

Thirty million.

This is their last vestige of dignity.

Su Yu stood in mid-air.

His deep eyes swept calmly over the storage ring.

He did not get angry.

It did not release any pressure.

She simply reached out and calmly took the ring.

Divine sense probed in.

After a while.

Su Yu nodded slightly.

"good."

Two words.

There was no mockery, nor any dissatisfaction.

He looked at Jin Zhan, his tone calm.

"Thirty million, consider it as a down payment."

"The remaining seventy million."

Su Yu paused, a glint of light flashing in his deep eyes.

"Pay it back slowly."

Keep this goose that lays golden eggs.

The Dark Gold Suanni clan has a deep foundation; given time, they can eventually raise 70 million.

A steady, continuous flow.

Upon hearing this...

Jin Zhan's rugged face did not show any joy of relief.

instead.

A bitter smile, even more unsightly than a cry, appeared on his face.

He looked at Su Yu.

A deep despair shone through his eyes.

"grown ups."

Jin Zhan's voice carried the sorrow of a dying man.

"I...I'm afraid I can't repay it."

"It is very likely that my Dark Gold Suanni clan will never be able to repay the remaining 70 million."

Su Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Oh?"

He looked at Jin Zhan.

"Trying to renege on your debt?"

"I wouldn't dare!"

Jin Zhan trembled and hurriedly shook his head.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart, and laid out his current predicament in its entirety.

"You are unaware of this, sir."

"Just half an hour ago, the Demonic Sect issued a decree."

"I hereby order the entire Dark Gold Suanni clan to mobilize and head to Burial Bone Ridge to attack a defensive stronghold of the Heavenly Sorrow Corpse Sect."

Jin Zhan gritted his teeth, his voice trembling.

"There, stands a supreme Corpse King of the Heavenly Sorrow Corpse Sect!"

"Cultivation level..."

"Peak of the Primordial Chaos Realm!"

Peak of Hunyuan.

These four words were uttered.

Tens of thousands of elite warriors in the plaza below fell into a deathly silence.

A deep sense of despair permeated everyone's eyes.

Jin Zhan looked at Su Yu.

He shook his head bitterly.

"I am only at the early stage of Hunyuan, and there isn't even a middle stage Hunyuan in the clan."

"Let's go fight the Corpse King at the peak of the Hunyuan realm."

"This is just going to your death."

"After this battle, the Dark Gold Suanni clan will most likely be completely wiped out of the Myriad Spirits Demon Abyss."

"Therefore, sir, I truly cannot repay this debt."

When Jin Zhan said these words.

His gaze remained fixed on Su Yu's face.

He was observing.

Testing the waters.

In truth, deep down, he still clung to a last, faint hope.

This Lord Long Yu possesses extraordinary combat power.

It can even destroy a pseudo-Mixed Yuan.

If he were willing to lend a helping hand, could the Dark Gold Suanni clan survive this crisis of extinction?

but.

Jin Zhan's rationality told him.

That's impossible.

He secretly assessed Su Yu's strength.

This kid appears to be at the early stage of the Primordial Chaos realm, but his true combat strength has definitely reached the Primordial Chaos realm.

It could even be the early or middle stage of Hunyuan.

But so what?

The opponent is a Corpse King at the peak of the Primordial Chaos realm!

Corpse cultivators are inherently physically powerful and extremely difficult to kill.

Even powerful beings of the same realm would find it extremely troublesome to face a Corpse King at the peak of the Primordial Chaos realm.

Even if this kid is hiding his true strength, could he possibly be at the peak of the Hunyuan realm?

impossible.

It is absolutely impossible.

The dimensional barriers to cultivation are there for all to see. How old is he? To have the combat power of the early stage of the Primordial Chaos realm is already unprecedented.

Go fight at the peak of the Hunyuan realm?
