Chapter 360 - 320: Battle of the Huai Wasteland (34 in 1)
The Divine Spear pierced through the heavens, as thick as a mountain and resembling a sky-reaching giant pillar standing between heaven and earth, its overwhelming presence surging and billowing, intimidating the hearts of all.
The entire void shuddered, as if it were about to completely collapse.
This aura was too astonishing, and one could vaguely see strands of sinister blood qi coiled around the Divine Spear—not from its owner, but from those it had slain. Each person a strand of blood qi; there were tens of thousands, which gave an inkling of just how many had fallen to the owner of the Divine Spear, a ruthless and powerful figure.
A large Merchant Group, consisting of tens of thousands, was stopped in their tracks, completely forbidden passage. That breathtaking aura shook the heart.
From within the Mercenary Group, a figure soared out. Tall and burly, his presence too was grand and powerful, capable of withstanding the pressure released by the Divine Spear.
He was the provisional leader of the temporarily formed large-size Mercenary Group, named Hann Tai, also the top expert among the mercenaries, and previously the head of the largest mercenary group of over a thousand people in a small city. A pinnacle expert of the Divinity Transformation Realm’s Third Layer Heaven, he was truly extraordinary even in the Black Sky Plain and held a significant reputation.
Hann Tai cupped his fists and shouted toward the Divine Spear, "I, Hann Tai, pay my respects to the Great One. I earnestly request that you allow us passage. We are willing to offer ten thousand pounds of Spirit Stones as tribute, simply to leave."
Ten thousand pounds of Spirit Stones!?
Many leaders of the Merchant Group paled at this; that was an incredibly shocking sum. Their round trip earnings wouldn’t come close to that amount. Earning one to two thousand pounds was already remarkable—ten thousand pounds was beyond their reach.
