Wu Shattered Star River

“Spirit materials?”

Hearing Jiang Han wanted spirit materials, the Seventh Saint Ancestor secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The River of Bloodshed might lack other things, but it had a plethora of spirit materials. If Jiang Han only wanted some ordinary spirit materials and array stones, it would be simple.

However, hearing Jiang Han say he wanted a thousand portions, he had a bad feeling. He said in a deep voice, “What spirit materials? Let me see the list.”

Jiang Han wrote a list, enumerating many rare spirit materials, including those required for the first six stages of his Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique. There were also the three types of array stones needed for the Heavenly Mystery Daoist's formation, as well as some strange spirit materials, sixteen types in total.

After finishing, he also gave it to the Heavenly Demon, asking him to think about what top-grade spirit materials the Bloodshed Clan had. Anyway, regardless of whether they were useful or not, he would extort a batch first.

The Heavenly Demon was in charge of the Dark Spy Division and knew a lot about intelligence. He pondered for a moment and wrote down three types of spirit materials.

“Send the list out!”

Jiang Han casually handed the list to an Emperor-level expert. The Emperor-level expert's body trembled, but he did not dare to disobey Jiang Han's order and was honestly teleported out.

The Seventh Saint Ancestor did not make things difficult for this Emperor-level expert. Killing this Emperor-level expert would not affect Jiang Han in any way, but would instead anger him.

He took the list and glanced at it, immediately feeling his qi and blood rush to his head, almost fainting. He pointed at the list, his mouth wide open, unable to speak for a long time.

After a dozen breaths, he finally recovered and said, “Jiang Han, do you know what this list means? Don't even mention me, even if you sell our entire Bloodshed Clan and empty all the mines in the River of Bloodshed, you still won't be able to gather the spirit materials you need.”

“Not to mention anything else, just take the Terrestrial Water Cold Crystal. Since our clan came to the River of Bloodshed, only thirty-odd pieces have been unearthed. You're asking for a thousand pieces?”

“Furthermore, these three types of array stones are needed for your formation, right? These three types of array stones are only unearthed a few dozen times every ten years. Even if we empty our clan's treasure trove, we won't be able to find a thousand pieces.”

“This can't even be called robbery…”

Seeing the Seventh Saint Ancestor's exasperated appearance, a trace of mockery appeared on the corner of Jiang Han's lips.

Back then, when they came to the River of Bloodshed, they originally came with sincerity, willing to pay a huge price to exchange for the three types of array stones.

The Bloodshed Clan refused outright, cutting off their hope, which led to so many things happening later. If they had exchanged the three types of array stones back then, these things probably wouldn't have happened.

Jiang Han was silent for a moment and said, “Then halve each type. I've already given you face, don't be shameless.”

“Halving is also impossible…”

The Seventh Saint Ancestor said with a bitter face, “There are several types of spirit materials on this list that our clan's treasure trove only has a dozen pieces at most. Even if you kill us all, we can't conjure up that many spirit materials.”

“How about this… I was the one who captured you back then. Why don't you just kill me, and we'll forget about the spirit materials?”

The Seventh Saint Ancestor was also a ruthless person, willing to use his own life to exchange for the spirit materials.

From another perspective, the spirit materials Jiang Han was asking for were indeed too rare. The Bloodshed Clan probably couldn't provide them.

Jiang Han ignored the Seventh Saint Ancestor and said, “You're thinking too beautifully. Enough nonsense, go back and gather the spirit materials. When you've gathered enough, I'll stop the slaughter and leave the River of Bloodshed.”

“You're still going to kill?”

The Seventh Saint Ancestor's eyes narrowed, and he immediately looked grief-stricken. If he could break through the Haotian Stone, he would definitely rush up and fight to the death.

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. Jiang Han was finally willing to talk, and he couldn't let the negotiation break down.

Otherwise, if Jiang Han stopped talking and continued killing, more clansmen would die. Moreover, he would have to continue to find Jiang Han to talk, which would mean that the batch of clansmen died in vain.

He picked up the list and looked at it again, saying, “Jiang Han, like this… we can find a way to gather five hundred of eleven types of spirit materials listed on your list. We really don't have the remaining eight types. We'll give you as much as we have in the clan's treasure trove, how about it?”

Jiang Han replied, “Give me as much as you have? How do I know how much you have? You can say you only have one piece even if you have ten thousand.”

The Seventh Saint Ancestor became anxious and said, “Jiang Han, I can swear an oath. If you don't believe me, you can come with me to the clan's treasure trove…”

“Do you want to hear what you're saying?”

Jiang Han sneered and said, “Go to your ancestral world and be ambushed by you again?”

The Seventh Saint Ancestor was speechless for a moment. He thought for a moment and said, “Didn't you subdue dozens of Emperor-level experts? Release two Emperor-level experts to go back with me, and I'll take them into the clan's treasure trove. If anything happens to them, you can feel free to slaughter, how about it?”

“That's a good idea!”

Jiang Han nodded slightly. He wouldn't feel bad even if a few of these twenty-seven Emperor-level experts died.

He had planted soul seeds in these Emperor-level experts, so they wouldn't dare to betray him unless the Bloodshed Clan had powerful means to instantly dissolve the soul seeds.

But if the soul seeds were dissolved, he would sense it, which would mean he knew the Bloodshed Clan was playing tricks…

Given the Bloodshed Clan's current state, they shouldn't dare to have any more crooked thoughts about him.

Now, in order to get him to leave, the Seventh Saint Ancestor was even willing to die.

“Alright!”

Jiang Han agreed, but he added, “Take as much of those rare spirit materials as you have. If there aren't enough, compensate with other spirit materials of equal value. I'll let my subordinates choose at that time. Once you've gathered enough resources and sent them to me, I'll leave the River of Bloodshed immediately.”

“Compensate with equal value?”

The Seventh Saint Ancestor was speechless. Jiang Han was too ruthless. It didn't matter that he killed so many members of the Bloodshed Clan, he even wanted to empty the Bloodshed Clan's treasure trove?

Before he could say anything, Jiang Han said again, “Alright, first return my spatial ring to me, and give me the Shengxu Blade to show your sincerity. I won't continue the slaughter during this time. I'll leave whenever you've gathered enough spirit materials and brought them over.”

“This…”

The Seventh Saint Ancestor hesitated. Jiang Han immediately became angry and said, “You're playing me again? You don't have any sincerity at all? Then forget it!”

After saying that, thirty-six more stone pillars flew out of the main pillar, and the Haotian Stone was about to break through the void and leave.

The Seventh Saint Ancestor became anxious when he saw this and hurriedly said, “I'll give it to you, I'll give you everything!”

“Swoosh!”

He put the Shengxu Blade into the spatial ring and then threw it towards the Haotian Stone.

Jiang Han quickly arranged for a cultivator to go out and bring it in. After examining it and finding that nothing was missing, the Shengxu Blade was returned to its rightful owner, and a delighted look appeared on his face.

“You, you, you!”

Jiang Han pointed at three cultivators and said, “The three of you will follow the Seventh Saint Ancestor to the Bloodshed Clan's ancestral world to monitor the treasure trove. If there aren't enough spirit materials on my list, use spirit materials of equal value to replace them…”

Jiang Han explained in detail, and a bitter look appeared on the faces of the three cultivators.

The Bloodshed Clan's ancestral world was a dragon's den and a tiger's lair, not to mention that they were going to empty the Bloodshed Clan's treasure trove. They were very worried that they would go and never return.

“Go with peace of mind!”

Jiang Han waved his hand and said, “As long as I don't die, they won't dare to hurt a hair on your heads. Once this matter is completed, your service time will be reduced by five hundred years, consider it a reward for your merits.”

“Five hundred years?”

The three cultivators exchanged glances, feeling slightly excited. The red-haired great demon's lips moved, and he mustered the courage to say, “Lord Jiang, I have also made many contributions.”

“Mm!”

Jiang Han nodded and said, “Red Hair will also have five hundred years deducted. Work hard under me, and as long as you make contributions, I won't be stingy with rewards.”
