Chapter 557: Schemes! What’s Behind You! The Jiaoslayer Shows Its Might! We’re Here to Support!
Immortal Jin Yu hated Li Yanchu with every fiber of his being, wishing to crush his bones and seal his soul in the Nine Nether for all eternity. Yet at this moment, he had no choice but to wear a smile toward him.
“Young friend, at such a tender age to possess such outrageous luck and a powerful physique, if you were to perish here, what a waste that would be,” Immortal Jin Yu said with a smile.
He could not read fortunes, but even without divination, it was clear to him. Li Yanchu was such a young prodigy, and he was not yet a Yang Spirit expert, yet he possessed so many powerful artifacts and a terrifyingly strong body. What else could it be but incredible luck? He calculated that this young genius would never recklessly sacrifice himself.
Li Yanchu’s expression remained icy cold. Seeing Immortal Jin Yu ask this, Li Yanchu smiled faintly. “Your mastery of the insect-control arts has truly reached a sublime level. Letting you go today would leave endless future troubles.”
Hearing this, Immortal Jin Yu tensed. This young man isn’t planning to fight me to the death, is he?
“Young friend, you are unwilling to let me leave and insist on a life-or-death duel?” Immortal Jin Yu asked.
Li Yanchu shook his head. “That... will cost extra.”
Hearing his words, Immortal Jin Yu, Celestial Master Zhao, Master Baoshu, Xu Tiannan, and Master Wuse were stunned speechless.
Li Yanchu’s decisiveness and fierce temperament were well known to them, but this side of him they hadn’t yet seen.
Immortal Jin Yu’s eyes brightened. Young people liked to scheme and were confident, and as expected, they were indeed easier to negotiate with.
“My collections of hundreds of years are all here in the Jiuxuan Cave. If you let me leave, fellow cultivators may take anything from this cave as you wish,” Immortal Jin Yu hurriedly said.
Of course, his proudest treasures were the rare demonic insects he had painstakingly gathered over the years; they were now all captured inside Li Yanchu’s alchemy furnace, still being refined.
