Chapter 415 The Thirteen Great Bandits
"Compensate?"

The Peacock King looked surprised, as if he hadn't expected to hear such a reply.

He Jingfeng retorted, dissatisfied: "Otherwise what?"

“You destroyed the hidden Dao patterns on the immortal ship. If I want to rearrange them, it will cost at least several thousand catties of source energy.”

"Alright, I won't ask for much. You compensate me with two thousand catties of talisman, and I'll let this matter drop. Otherwise..."

He Jingfeng said coldly, "I will never let you get away with this. I will make you taste the power of the Star Destroyer Cannon again!"

He Jingfeng spoke with considerable force when he said those words.

But for some reason, the reactions of the two people below were rather strange.

...two thousand catties of source?
The Peacock King stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

The middle-aged man next to him had a strange expression, looking like he wanted to laugh but was too embarrassed to.

After regaining his senses, the Peacock King trembled violently, a terrifying aura suddenly rising within him. His handsome face contorted with rage as he glared at He Jingfeng, his teeth clenched, and said:

"Just for two thousand catties of source..."

"When you fire that planet-destroying cannon, the energy it consumes is more than a million catties of energy."

"You're forcing me to do this for two thousand catties of source energy, junior? Are you trying to humiliate me?!"

Before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged man next to him burst out laughing, clutching his stomach and laughing in an extremely flamboyant manner.

"Haha... Peacock King... Haha... You've finally met your match!"

"Hahaha, I'm laughing so hard!"

The middle-aged man was laughing so hard that tears were almost streaming down his face.

The Peacock King's face darkened, and his aura suddenly shifted, locking onto the laughing middle-aged man.

"Jiang Yi!"

"You also wish to humiliate me?!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's identity became self-evident.

He was the ninth-ranked traitor from the Jiang family among the thirteen great bandits.

He was originally a genius of the ancient Jiang family. However, due to his elder brother Jiang Zhe running away from home, he became at odds with the family head's lineage. After this incident, he left the Jiang family in anger and became the ninth of the thirteen bandits in the Northern Region.

In terms of pure strength, Jiang Yi is definitely no match for the Peacock King.

However, this person had the audacity to betray the Jiang family and swore brotherhood with the thirteen bandits, making him a fearless and rebellious individual.

Even when faced with the Peacock King's imposing aura, he showed no fear whatsoever.

However, since he was in the wrong, after laughing enough, Jiang Yi did not confront him. Instead, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked at the Peacock King with a smile, saying:

"Brother Peacock, if you ask me, you're being too sensitive..."

"That young friend from the Immortal Palace spoke sincerely, and his gritted teeth and pain were no less than yours. It seems that he really was just heartbroken over those hidden Dao patterns."

“I’ve seen plenty of people like him with eccentric personalities over the years.”

"It's just two thousand catties of source energy. If you don't want to clash with the Immortal Palace, just compensate him!"

"..."

Peacock King's lips twitched, and he looked at He Jingfeng with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

"really?"

"nonsense!"

He Jingfeng rolled his eyes and said, "Our destination is the Holy City of the Northern Region. If you hadn't suddenly attacked and destroyed the Dao patterns I had painstakingly inscribed, why would we be staying here?!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the Peacock King's expression softened slightly, as if he had confirmed that He Jingfeng truly only wanted some compensation and had no intention of deliberately humiliating him.

Even so, the Peacock King still felt ashamed and depressed about being blackmailed by a junior from the Celestial Palace, especially since it was only two thousand catties of Origin.

Fortunately, this place was just a small, extremely secretive stronghold of the Thirteen Great Bandits.

The villagers were all unaware ordinary people and could not hear their voices transmitted across thousands of meters.

Only Jiang Yi is quite strong, but he's also a big mouth; we need to figure out how to deal with him first...

Thinking of this, the Peacock King's heart stirred slightly, and he immediately said without any emotion, "Since that's the case, I will compensate you, but I will only pay half of these two thousand catties of source!"

"half?"

He Jingfeng and the other group members were taken aback upon hearing this.

After regaining his senses, Su Haoming said with dissatisfaction, "Hey Peacock King, you're supposed to be a powerful figure among the demon race, how dare you even say you're going to cut the price in half?"

"One yard owned by a yard!"

The Peacock King shook his head and said, "Since you want to stick to the facts, I naturally cannot waste this money!"

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Jiang Yi, who was still watching the spectacle, and said indifferently, "Don't forget, I wasn't the only one who released my aura just now."

"He was also involved in destroying the hidden Dao patterns!"

"..."

Jiang Yi's smile froze instantly.

After realizing what he'd said, he frowned and pondered for a moment, then said dejectedly, "It seems that's really true..."

“Alright!” Jiang Yi didn’t have the airs of the Peacock King and immediately said in a straightforward manner, “Two thousand catties of Origin, Brother Peacock and I will each contribute half. Would that settle this matter?”

"That's natural!"

He Jingfeng nodded seriously.

Peacock King and Jiang Yi exchanged a glance, then each waved their sleeves, sending a thousand catties of Yuan onto the immortal ship.

After taking stock, He Jingfeng couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. The extra optical camouflage he had installed was just a lot in quantity; in terms of value alone, it certainly couldn't compare to the two thousand jin of source material.

If you calculate carefully, he asked for at least 1,500 jin of raw materials.

Of course, if he were even more greedy, he could have easily demanded an exorbitant amount, even ten thousand or a hundred thousand jin of raw material. But he wasn't that kind of person. The reason he quoted two thousand jin was because he had carefully considered the value and calculated it based on the difference in technical skill.

In other words, it was the price he charged the natives of this world for selling these optical camouflage devices.

If you calculate it that way, He Jingfeng is actually quite honest; he didn't really extort money from anyone...

"So, we're even now, right?"

The Peacock King's expression was still somewhat unpleasant. He transmitted his voice from afar, saying, "The next step is for me to keep my promise and retreat, or for you all to leave as soon as possible so that we can avoid seeing each other and having more peace of mind?"

"Don't worry..."

He Jingfeng shook his head, then waved his hand to summon a gust of wind, which swept up all the damaged optical camouflage devices and sent them to the Peacock King and Jiang Yi below.

Then, broken metal devices rained down from the sky, piling up in front of the hut.

Jiang Yi and the Peacock King stared at the strange metals they couldn't understand, exchanging bewildered glances.

"What do you mean?"

The Peacock King asked with a deep frown.

He Jingfeng said seriously, "To be honest, before I joined the Immortal Palace, I was a merchant who believed in equal exchange. Two thousand catties of source material is the price of these hidden artifacts."

"You two have compensated me and given me face, so naturally I must return the favor..."

Does this mean these damaged concealment artifacts are the goods purchased with two thousand catties of resources?

The Peacock King snapped out of his daze, and the muscles around his eyes twitched slightly.

Jiang Yi, standing nearby, had a bright look in his eyes and stared at the three people on the fairy ship with great interest.

Are all the people in the Celestial Palace like you?

"Of course not!" He Jingfeng shook his head and said, "My Immortal Palace emphasizes teaching according to aptitude and never uses sect rules to constrain disciples. Therefore, it is not surprising that the disciples under our sect are all kinds of strange and have all sorts of quirks."

"interesting……"

Jiang Yi clicked his tongue and said, "This is really interesting!"

Meanwhile, Su Haoming and the others had no intention of staying any longer. After casually saying goodbye, they prepared to pilot the star destroyer to continue their journey to the Holy City.

"Wait a minute!"

Just then, Jiang Yi suddenly spoke up, stopping everyone.

When Su Haoming and the others looked at him with surprise, he asked with a smile, "I have long heard that a senior from the Immortal Palace has been born. I wonder if he is on this immortal ship today?"

"..."

The three group members exchanged glances, and He Jingfeng said noncommittally, "So what if I'm here, so what if I'm not?"

That means it's gone!

Jiang Yi felt somewhat disappointed.

But it doesn't matter. He's just quite interested in the Celestial Palace. Whether that old monster is there or not isn't that important.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yi smiled and said, "The Holy City is hundreds of thousands of miles away from here. Even if you have a celestial ship, it will probably take you more than a month to get there."

"In that case, we might as well take a short break."

"Our territory also has domain gates, which allow us to traverse the void and reach the Holy City directly!"

Oh? !

Su Haoming and the others' eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Star Destroyers inherently possess the ability to jump through space; however, this world is bound by rules, and without accurate coordinates, even a slight error could lead to disastrous consequences.

That's why they chose the most common way to travel.

However, if the thirteen bandits are willing to lend out the domain gate, then that's a different story!
"...You want to invite them to your territory?"

The Peacock King frowned and asked in a low voice.

Jiang Yi laughed and said, "Why not?"

The Peacock King hesitated, then gritted his teeth and, somewhat reluctantly, transmitted his voice:
"I have a prior agreement with the Celestial Palace that anyone who encounters someone from the Celestial Palace must give way..."

"You're the one who needs to back down; I don't!"

Jiang Yi said nonchalantly, "Besides, I don't think the Immortal Palace took your promise seriously. It's you, Brother Peacock, who's been so petty and resentful. It's really beneath your dignity!"

"..."

The Peacock King's lips twitched; he was speechless.

Jiang Yi, however, seemed to have gotten excited and continued, "Although the Immortal Palace acts domineeringly, it has never done evil since its birth, nor has it ever exploited the lower-level cultivators. On the contrary, those aristocratic families and holy lands have been severely hampered by them."

"This style of acting by wielding a knife against the strong is very much in line with Jiang's temperament."

Now that we have the opportunity, we should naturally make friends with them!

The Peacock King neither confirmed nor denied, saying, "Make friends with a few juniors who have reached the highest dragon transformation level?"

"So what if they're juniors?"

Jiang Yi curled his lip and said, "As long as his personality suits my taste, even if he is just an ordinary person, I am willing to befriend him!"

With things said to this extent, the Peacock King had no grounds for objection.

He was, after all, just a guest of the Thirteen Bandits; he could offer suggestions, but he couldn't make decisions for Jiang Yi.

Meanwhile, the three crew members on the Star Destroyer secretly discussed the matter and unanimously agreed that they could accept Jiang Yi's invitation.

Before Lin Yu arrived, they certainly wouldn't have done this, since their strength was insufficient, and once they left the ship, they would lose the ability to contend with a Saint Lord-level figure.

But after Lin Yu arrived, the name of the Immortal Palace had already spread.

Many powerful forces know that they have an ancient expert, at least a saint, standing behind them. Unless they're completely out of their minds, they certainly won't easily attack them.

Of course, it's okay to take action.

All three group members have jade pendants on them. If they encounter a dangerous situation that is difficult to deal with, they can use the Great Summoning Spell to summon Lin Yu back anytime, anywhere!
