God of Pets

Chapter 528 How many do you have?

"Okay, let him go." A voice came from behind.

Everyone looked over and saw a young man walking over.

The surviving cultivators breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the man.

If this person can step forward, then they are relieved and no longer need to struggle with the issue of whether or not to release the person.

At the same time, they were also glad that they hadn't rashly agreed to release him, otherwise the person who came now might not be this one.

"Go away, and don't let me see you again." The young man glanced at Chen Guan, then his gaze fell on Bai Xiuyan. He continued, "Bai Xiuyan, I am also a swordsman. I've always heard that your swordsmanship is unparalleled, that you are the most unique swordsman in the world. If you're willing, I can become your disciple. You can come to my home and teach me swordsmanship, how about that?"

This was a euphemistic way of putting it, but the underlying meaning was that Bai Xiuyan needed to rely on him to survive.

"I don't know how to teach, and I don't have time to teach. You should find someone else." After saying that, Bai Xiuyan ignored him and handed the Tou Shan sword in her hand to Chen Guan, saying, "Take the sword and leave. You shouldn't have come in the first place."

“I have this habit of mine. If others don’t want to see me, I’ll make sure they do.” Chen Guan didn’t take the sword. Instead, he tossed the Blood-Coagulated Jade Bodhi in his hand to Bai Xiuyan: “Eat this. If anyone causes me trouble later, I’ll have to rely on you to protect me.”

The young man laughed angrily: "Young man, you don't think that killing these people is the end of it, do you? How many people can a single Blood-Coagulating Jade Bodhi make him kill?"

“One isn’t enough, then let’s have another one.” With a flick of his wrist, another Blood-Coagulated Jade Bodhi appeared in his hand, which he tossed directly to Bai Xiuyan.

Bai Xiuyan was slightly surprised. He had only thought of leaving something behind because Chen Guan and Teng Mingli were handsome and dashing. He hadn't expected that the person he found would be a small-time tycoon who could casually give away two Blood-Coagulating Jade Bodhi beads.

"How many do you have?" The young man clapped his hands dismissively, and immediately saw a number of cultivators emerge from the surrounding mountains and forests.

"There are fifty sixth-level cultivators here, each capable of summoning at least five sixth-level pets. How many Blood-Coagulating Jade Bodhis do you have to replenish Bai Xiuyan's vital energy?" the young man sneered. "I originally intended to spare your life, but you chose to seek death yourself. Now you... want to..."

Before the young man could finish speaking, his expression changed, and he swallowed the rest of his words.

Because he saw that Chen Guan had actually brought out a fruit basket, which was filled with blood-coagulated jade bodhi seeds. It was hard to say how many there were; they would have to be weighed by the pound. There must have been at least five or six pounds.

Everyone, including the young man, stared blankly at the basket of blood-coagulated jade bodhisattvas that Chen Guan had placed in front of Bai Xiuyan.

Those are blood-coagulated jade bodhi seeds, and they're high-quality pieces that are thousands of years old. They're not like big green dates from a tree, so how could there be so many?

Something that an ordinary person might never see in their entire life was suddenly thrown out in a basket.

The young man's face grew serious, and he finally looked Chen Guan up and down.

This basket of blood-coagulated jade bodhi seeds represents not only wealth, but also indicates that the recipient has a powerful background and connections, and is likely someone of considerable influence.

To possess so many Blood-Coagulated Jade Bodhi seeds, one would typically only be able to obtain such a quantity within the Great Grotto Heaven.

However, within the human's territory of the Great Cave Heaven, almost all kinds of rare and precious materials have been harvested, and the remaining ones are all owned by others.

There are plenty outside, but someone has to be willing to go out and pick them, have the ability to do so, and ultimately be able to come back alive.

If this basket of Blood-Coagulated Jade Bodhi truly came from the Great Grotto Heaven, then it at least indicates that the other party must be a prominent figure within the Great Grotto Heaven.

But the young man racked his brains and couldn't think of anyone among the ten great families who could be called such a person. "Eat as much as you want, and tell me if you're still hungry," Chen Guan said to Bai Xiuyan beside him.

Bai Xiuyan was stunned. He really didn't expect that his casual pointing would point to such a person.

He wasn't being coy; he knew things wouldn't end well today. Chen Guan couldn't leave now; he had to gather his strength and lead Chen Guan out of the encirclement.

"My name is Chu Jianxiong. Which family are you from? What's your name?" The young man now wanted to find out Chen Guan's background.

“I’m not one of them; I’m my own,” Chen Guan said calmly.

"No matter which family you belong to, you should know that preventing Bai Xiuyan from going to Tianyang City is not just a decision made by my Chu family, but a joint decision made by the Ten Families and the City Lord's Mansion." Chu Jianxiong still believed that Chen Guan must be from one of the Ten Families or the Ancestral Court, which is why he said this.

"Why?" Chen Guan also wanted to know what their reasons were for stopping Bai Xiuyan.

"Are you really unaware or pretending not to know? The demon leader who conquered Tianyang City was Mo Qianpo, the third of the nine demon brothers from Nine Demon City. He possesses the talent to eat people, and the talents of those he eats will be used by him."

"With Bai Xiuyan's talent, if he were to be devoured by that Mo Qianpo, he would become an asset to the demons, which would not be an exaggeration to say that he would be aiding the enemy."

Chen Guan then understood why everyone in Taishan City wanted to stop Bai Xiuyan.

He knew there would be a reason, but he didn't expect it to be this way.

"Since you knew that Mo Qianpo had this ability, why didn't you send troops to aid Tianyang City and let Mo Qianpo break through the city and devour the Black and White Impermanence couple?" Bai Xiuyan said coldly.

"This is a strategic arrangement, and also a last resort. Tianyang City has no natural defenses, and it will have to be abandoned sooner or later. There is no point in defending it, so we can only give it up," Chu Jianxiong said.

"Today we cede one city, tomorrow we cede ten. Dozens of cities in the north are already gone. Are those cities without any natural defenses?" Bai Xiuyan said indifferently.

Chu Jianxiong was speechless for a moment, and could only sigh and say, "War is not child's play, and it cannot be explained in just a few words. There are many problems and difficulties involved."

“You have your reasons, and I have mine. I can’t take back the city, but I will take back the bodies of the Black and White Impermanence couple, even if it means my death,” Bai Xiuyan said calmly.

Chu Jianxiong knew it was impossible to persuade Bai Xiuyan now, but he couldn't let Bai Xiuyan go to Tianyang City. So, his eyes lit up and a plan came to mind.

“Bai Xiuyan, even if you have the Blood-Coagulating Jade Bodhi to replenish your vital energy, you will never be able to return to your peak condition. If you want to leave alone, we can’t stop you, but if we want to kill him, you may not be able to protect him either, right?” Chu Jianxiong said.

"You can give it a try," Bai Xiuyan said while eating the Blood-Coagulated Jade Bodhi.

"No need for a trial. I just wanted to make a suggestion," Chu Jianxiong said to Chen Guan. "You originally came to participate in the Heroes' Gathering, right?"

"Not bad," Chen Guan nodded.

"Then you must be a cultivator of the Four Senses, right?" Chu Jianxiong asked again.

"Not bad." Chen Guan nodded again.

“I am also a cultivator of the Four Awakenings. If Bai Xiuyan agrees, I can fight you one-on-one. If I lose, I will leave immediately and will no longer stop you from going to Tianyang City. If you lose, I will not take your lives, but how about Bai Xiuyan can no longer go to Tianyang City?” Chu Jianxiong said, looking at Bai Xiuyan.
