Chapter 1139: You Gotta Pay More
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Of course, it was useless for Han Fei to say that alone.
Han Fei knew very well that the people of the big clans would probably not really be subverted.
However, he wasn’t in a rush. What he needed to do today was to win the hearts of the people. With the Grand Myriad Mountains as his backer, he could force the human powerhouses to give in.
As long as he got the resources, he had plenty of ways to bewitch people.
Not just that, from this incident, Han Fei seemed to see the future of the Thousand Star City. Yes, it was the same. The big clans controlled the Thousand Star City, and history was repeating.
The interests of the big clans in the Thousand Star City were to pursue the Heavenly Palace.. To become a king, they didn’t want to destroy a place like the Ten Thousand Demon Valley.
A Venerable said coldly, “So, you want to use our resources to do the world a favor?”
Han Fei immediately retorted, “What do you mean by ‘your resources’? If it weren’t for the big clans seizing the resources by force, it’s hard to say whose resources are whose. If you are unwilling, it’s fine. From today on, the big clans in Yu City are not to interfere with the human beings’ choice in Yu City and are not to plunder other people’s resources.The Avenger will openly appear in the sea area outside Yu City, challenge people of the same realm and compete fairly. If you accept this, you can pretend I didn’t say the last two points.”
Han Fei’s words exuded great confidence, which shocked many people on the opposite side.
Although Han Fei was a lunatic, he had really killed Zhou Zifu just now. What did it mean?
This showed that Han Fei’s true strength was very strong. Otherwise, if it were someone else, even if he were to use a Sea Quelling Bizarre Treasure, he wouldn’t be able to kill an advanced Explorer as an advanced law enforcer. After all, the strength of the two was completely different.
They could imagine that the two conditions Han Fei proposed were actually to buy time for the Avenger. If the strong masters of the big clans didn’t do anything, the cultivators below junior Explorers of the big clans would definitely be blocked.
Even if they sent a large number of junior explorers to besiege the Avenger, the latter’s array was extraordinary. Furthermore, once it reached that point, there would definitely be a lot of people in Yu City who supported the Avenger. Even now, there were a lot of itinerant cultivators in Yu City who were unhappy with the big clans.
Therefore, Han Fei’s request was actually to drive the big clans against human beings.
Seeing that many people were silent, Han Fei immediately smiled and said, “Why, don’t you dare? Without the rule of the strong, you big clans don’t even have the courage to fight head-on?”
A Venerable asked, “Do you have any other conditions?”
Hearing this, Han Fei immediately laughed. “Yes, there is another way. It won’t make you big clans suffer any losses.”
The tiger mumbled, “You have so many solutions.”
Han Fei replied, “I learned it from you, Master Tiger.”
After that, Han Fei said, “There’s another choice. The big clans will evacuate Yu City with all your resources. Find another place, and Yu City will belong to me. I don’t care where you go. We’ll compete for resources at sea with our own abilities in the future. But if you go back and forth, we’ll fight to the death.”
Han Fei was resolute. No matter what choice it was, he had to win the hearts of the people in Yu City. These big clans had to give him their resources, or they would fight to the death today!
Ximen Tian said, “If we don’t accept the choices, are you really going to start a war?”
Han Fei ruthlessly pointed at Ximen Wuqing and the others and looked at the tiger king. “Master Tiger, beat them up.”
“Roar!”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
“Wait!”
“Stop!”
Boom…
The tiger ignored the humans.
From the looks of it, Han Fei was more like a person from the Grand Myriad Mountains. Although he was a human, his style was too similar to the Grand Myriad Mountains. If you didn’t like someone, kill him. This was the truth.
Almost in an instant, there were only six captives left. Five of them had been blown up and died.
Ximen Tian shouted, “Wang Han ~”
Han Fei said, “Seniors, please wait a moment.”
After the beasts stopped, Han Fei tilted his head and looked at Ximen Tian and the others. “There are only three choices for you. Either give me half of the resources, and let me become the city lord, or let’s compete fairly, and the big clans will retreat and not plunder the humans in Yu City, or the big clans will leave with all the resources, and Yu City will belong to me. Now the choice is yours. If you refuse to choose, then let’s fight. If the worst comes to worst, I’ll overthrow your big clan and start all over again. It’s all death anyway. I bet on the coming five hundred years.”
The human powerhouses were trembling with fury.
Han Fei said leisurely, “If I were you, I might choose the second option. You don’t have to give resources or leave Yu City but can still go to sea. That’s great!”
However, the three human Venerables’ faces were cold. They thought to themselves, This Wang Han is really greedy. Among the three, the last one to choose is the second one.
The first choice was that the big clans wouldn’t leave Yu City, and the Avenger would be stationed in Yu City. Even if Han Fei were to publicize them, not many people would believe him.
But as for the second, once the big clans retreated, the control of Yu City would be taken away too, and they would be restricted. If the big clans wanted to develop, they could only eat their old money. In the long run, the big clans would only exist in name.
As for fighting?
To be honest, if it was just a beast king, they actually had a way. The big clans had deep heritage and methods.
However, the Grand Myriad Mountains had an even more terrifying existence after all! It was the divine son. That extremely powerful existence could be said to be the number one person under the king although he rarely showed up.
Now that the human Venerables were all injured, it would be the best they could do to stop a beast king. If the divine son really attacked, it was impossible for them to stop him.
A Venerable said, “We need to discuss it for a moment.”
They had to discuss it.
Han Fei was too ruthless and killed Explorers without any warning. There were 12 captives just now, but in the blink of an eye, there were only 6 left because two of them said something to annoy Han Fei.
If they tentatively said that they couldn’t accept it, none of the remaining people would survive.
They could naturally agree first and then regret it. However, did they dare to kill Han Fei?
While this thought flashed in their minds, Han Fei tilted his head and looked at the Beast King. “Master, if I die one day, it must be a scheme of the big clans. At that time, please avenge me.”
The beast king’s eyes flickered. “Okay! I know my disciple. He has wandered in the outer sea for many years without perishing. If he perishes in human territory, I’ll kill those big clans one by one.”
Han Fei chuckled. “Thank you, Master.”
Hearing this, all the human powerhouses were dumbfounded. Damn it, we have to be responsible if you die?
However, they also knew that at this moment, their relationship had reached such a stalemate. If it wasn’t them, where could it be?
But Han Fei thought differently. In fact, he didn’t have 500 years at all. He had to find a way back. No matter what, this was the Age of Doom, not his world. Therefore, he could do whatever he wanted. Besides, Han Fei knew the situation in the future and didn’t panic at all.
Although Han Fei didn’t know how Ximen Linglan would survive these years? It should be very difficult. After all, she was making enemies of these big clans. But in any case, in the future, Ximen Linglan would be very strong! She would be in charge of the City of Justice alone and be loved by the entire city. This was clear.
The Thousand Star City and the Scattered Stars Island still needed him, and he had to return to the Scattered Stars Island in seven years. God knew how long he had been in the river of time.
What was the Thug Academy like now? What was the Scattered Stars Island like? Han Fei had no idea.
This was what worried Han Fei the most.
However, so many years had passed in the river of time, and Han Fei didn’t care about the next few years. At least, he had to find a way to create a new situation so that he could find a way to leave in peace.
That was all Han Fei could do. He didn’t know how the City of Justice would develop in the future. All he knew was the result. Now, he couldn’t infer the development of the City of Justice through this result…
In the void, buzzing sounds echoed.
After a long time, a Venerable said, “Alright! Now that the human race is weak, the Grand Myriad Mountains are indeed stronger. Let’s see what will happen after you take over Yu City. We’ll choose the third option. The big clans will retreat from Yu City, but the 3,000 salt marsh in the north will belong to our big clans. In the future, the resources in the sea will be distributed depending on our means.”
Han Fei tilted his head and looked at Ximen Linglan. “Where is the Three Thousand Salt Marsh?”
Ximen Linglan swallowed. She couldn’t believe it! She had thought that the battle would be fierce. Hearing Han Fei’s question, she quickly said, “It’s a large salt lake on the north coast. However, it’s relatively barren, about 20,000 kilometers away from Yu City.”
After Han Fei smelled it, he grinned. “Okay, this matter is settled. The big clans in Yu City will move out of Yu City in three days. The Avenger will take over Yu City in three days.”
Everybody gasped behind Han Fei.
Jia Wuxing and the others couldn’t believe it. Damn, they made it?
Although it seemed that some people couldn’t take revenge for the time being, it couldn’t be helped. They were facing the entire Yu City’s big clans now. They had never dared to force the other party to this point before.
As for the tiger and the other beasts, they were not interested in the tricks of human beings and felt that it was like they were fighting for territory. If they lost, they would have to change territory, right?
Han Fei could guess what their plans were.
They would temporarily evacuate and recover from their injuries first to nurture strong masters. The big clans had a long heritage. If they endured for a while, they might be able to take back Yu City in the future.
This was why they would rather move away than hand over the resources. After all, these resources had been accumulated over a long period of time. They would rather abandon hundreds of millions of people than to give up the precious resources accumulated!
In fact, they didn’t understand the principle of “Man’s will, not Heaven, decides”. In the past, the people in Yu City were the bottom of society, the oppressed party. If these people turned over and became masters, would they be willing to return to the past? Since they were unwilling to return, there must be suppression by force, and there must be revolt?
This was Han Fei’s real plan.
After all, Han Fei knew that the human heart was everything!
At this moment, Han Fei was not panicking at all. How can I let you win? Then consider it my loss. This is just the first time we’ve fought. Next time we fight, if I don’t squeeze you dry, I will abandon my surname “Han”.
Ximen Tian said with a straight face, “Now, can you release them?”
“Release them?”
Han Fei sneered. “What does this have to do with letting them go? I caught them with my own abilities. How can I let them go so easily?”
Han Fei didn’t have the habit of releasing captives at all. If they were released so easily, why did he take them in the first place?
The Beast King couldn’t help but scratch his butt, thinking, What else does this brat want to do? He has already won a complete victory this time. Does he still want to kill?
A Venerable said coldly, “Wang Han, what else do you want?”
Han Fei grinned. “What else do you want? These people have been chasing the Avenger for a long time and destroyed my ship. This is the fruit of my 18 years of hard work. How can I let them go? You haven’t paid back the ten ships you owe me.”
Ximen Wuqing snorted coldly. “Someone will deliver the big ships to you soon!”
Han Fei said again, “The members of the Avenger were all persecuted by the big clans. Now that the negotiation has been completed, we can’t avenge them. How can ten ships be enough… You’ve gotta pay more.”
Jia Wuxing and the others thought to themselves, Actually, we are already very satisfied. Don’t fight the big clans again because of us! What if the negotiation breaks down?
However, Ximen Linglan was a little surprised. For some reason, she felt that what Han Fei said before was not important. What he said in the end mattered.
A Venerable asked, “Wang Han, what’s the meaning of this? Yu City is already yours. Do you think it’s not enough?”
Han Fei quickly waved his hand. “Stop. These two things are different. You can’t mix them. These people’s hands are covered in blood. If you don’t pay some price, you will never know what pain is. If you want these people back, OK, pay us. How much money is needed to nurture an Explorer? I only want what I can see. These people are at least advanced Explorers. On average, for each of them, the price is a million catties of spiritual spring, a million catties of Spirit Awakening Fluid, ten heaven-level combat skills, a thousand ultra-quality spiritual weapons, a low-quality Divine weapon… no, an ultra-quality Divine weapon, ten thousand energy fruits, and ten thousand spiritual fruits…”
Han Fei counted on his fingers. Hearing his words, even the tiger couldn’t bear it anymore and bared his teeth.
The tiger thought to himself, If anyone dares to ask me for such things, I’ll definitely slap him to death.
Behind him, Jia Wuxing and the others swallowed crazily. The awakened Marshal Han seemed a bit ruthless. These things seemed to be much more than what they could get from robbing a big ship.
Ximen Linglan felt her head explode. Where was that domineering idiot just now? But now he seemed a bit strange!
“Enough!”
Someone shouted, “Wang Han, are you robbing us?”
Han Fei raised his head innocently. “Huh! Do you think an advanced Explorer isn’t worth this? Or do you think a peak-level Explorer isn’t worth this? You have to know that these people have a big grudge against me. How much pain in my conscience is it to let them go? You don’t even want to add money but want to take them away? Why, do you think I’m a fool?”
With that, Han Fei picked up Snowmourne and was about to cut the captives.
“Wait a minute!”
“Don’t move!”
“What’s the rush?”
Han Fei stopped, looked at these people expressionlessly, and pointed his sword at Zhao Pi who was closest to him. “What do you mean? Are you giving me the money or not?”
Zhao Pi sweated hard and began to send messages to his family via voice transmission crazily: Son of a b * tch, this brat really dares to kill me!
Just now, Zhou Zifu, who was next to him, was killed just because the Zhou Family people said something to question Han Fei. What could this brat possibly not do?
A Venerable was so angry that the corner of his mouth was trembling, but someone held back his fury. “Okay, we can give you this batch of resources, but Wang Han, there’s nothing more.”
Han Fei smiled casually. “That’s it. I have nothing else to ask for. However…”
In an instant, everyone looked at Han Fei. “However?”
Han Fei suddenly looked at Ximen Tian. “But the Ximen family is different.”
Ximen Tian frowned. “What do you mean?”
Han Fei’s eyes were cold. “Ximen Linglan is the captain of the Avenger. She has a great grudge against the Ximen family. We can let others go, but we can’t let Ximen Wuqing go.”
At this moment, Ximen Wuqing was almost trampled to death. Fearing that Han Fei would really kill him, he shouted, “Wang Han, are you forcing us to fight?”
Han Fei sneered. “Shut up. It’s not up to you whether to fight or not! You’re the only exception. I’m not forcing anyone to fight!”
Ximen Linglan tugged at Han Fei’s waist. “Idiot, actually…”
Han Fei glanced at Ximen Linglan. “Listen to me.”
After that, Han Fei looked at Ximen Tian. “This grudge is huge. We can’t coexist… You have to pay more.”
Everyone: “???”
Ximen Linglan: “???”
The beast king: “…”
Han Fei said without blushing, “Twice as much.”
Han Fei looked straight at Ximen Tian without dodging.
After all, this was a Venerable. In order to prevent this guy from doing anything unexpected in rage, he would just charge the Ximen Family twice as much. As for the future, it was another story.
Ximen Tian’s eyes flickered, but he gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, no more.”
Han Fei was speechless. Ximen Tian agreed so easily? It seemed that he had said too little just now. He should have asked for more.
However, forget it. There was still a long time to come. Han Fei wasn’t in a rash at all. He would just take these benefits first.
Han Fei said casually, “You can go back now. You pay the money and we’ll deliver the goods at the same time.”
Ximen Wuqing and the others couldn’t have felt worse. Are we goods?
A Venerable said, “Wang Han, do you doubt my credibility?”
Han Fei curled his lips. “You big clans have never been credible. I won’t let these people go without seeing money and boats.”
“Hmph!”
The man flew away, not wanting to say another word to Han Fei.
Immediately afterward, these people quickly left with swishes. It seemed that they didn’t want to stay in this damn place at all. Or rather, they didn’t want to see Han Fei’s face for a second.
When all the strong masters on the human side left, the tiger slapped Han Fei so hard that he almost fell over. “Not bad! How did you get this?”
The corner of Han Fei’s mouth twitched. “Master Tiger, my bones are scattered…”
Before Han Fei could exchange pleasantries with others, the Beast King roared, “Disciple, come with me.”
As the Beast King waved his hand, Han Fei appeared above the sea, far away from the Avenger.
Han Fei scratched his head. “Master.”
The Beast King looked at Han Fei. “Tell me what you remember. Do you remember that thing?”
Han Fei said solemnly, “I don’t remember it. Or rather, I do remember it. It seems to be right at the tip of my tongue, but I can’t speak it out. There seems to be a rule that prevents me from saying it.”
Han Fei had expected it.
There must be something wrong with his crossing the river of time this time. Although he could remember things from a long time ago, he couldn’t remember the final situation of the various races when it came to key matters, such as the Floating Stones, his understanding of the Heavenly Palace, the Soul Sea, or the situation of the various races.
The Beast King frowned. “That’s indeed the reason. You are not from this world. Although you came across the river of time with a strange method, you can’t change the situation in this world. All you can do is to take advantage of the situation.”
Han Fei asked in confusion, “What’s that supposed to mean? I’m already here!”
The beast king shook his head. “You don’t understand! Even if it’s a king, even if he really has a way to cross the river of time, he can’t even speak or interfere with the changes of time. That’s the suppression of the Heavenly Dao! For you to appear here, and you can fight, talk and fight, it can only be said that there is a problem with this river of time. In a sense, it lacks the influence of the Great Dao.”
Han Fei’s heart did a flip. He felt that he knew something, but he couldn’t remember much about it. From his current memories, he had remembered all the normal memories.
What he didn’t remember was all those secrets. It seemed that what the beast king said was true.
The Beast King looked at Han Fei. “Do you remember anything about the beast race?”
Han Fei thought for a moment. “In the place where I live normally, I haven’t seen any beast race. However, I once encountered many beast race members, demon plant race members, and sky race members in a secret realm.”
The Beast King narrowed his eyes keenly. “There are no war giants?”
Han Fei shook his head slightly. “No. Maybe I haven’t been to enough places. I have to become stronger first.”
The beast king nodded slightly.
The beasts could only appear in certain secret realms! This meant that their final result wasn’t good. However, since there were still some, it meant that they hadn’t been extinct.
“Do you remember the answer you came back for?”
Han Fei nodded. “Yes, but I don’t quite understand. Teacher, you said that an oracle could make the Sea Clan and thousands of races fight for tens of thousands of years?”
The beast king roared, “You don’t understand. Who doesn’t want to rule all the races and master the Great Dao? We only know that much. As for what the oracle is like, what did it mean exactly, and is there any secret behind it, they are not something we know. By the way, do you have a way to become a king?”
Could he become a king? The beast king didn’t know much about it.
What they said about being able to become a king was just a matter of posture. As for whether he could really succeed or not, he didn’t know, nor could he tell.
Han Fei was helpless. “Teacher, how can I answer this question? I don’t know the way, but many people say that I may become a king. I think so too.”
Han Fei wasn’t narcissistic. The source of his confidence wasn’t Old Han or his mother, who was the master of the Heavenly Palace, but the Demon Purification Pot.
Of course, he also knew that the problem he faced was very big. Here, he could use the Grand Myriad Mountains to suppress the big clans. However, once he returned to the Thousand Star City, he would really have to do it himself.
The Beast King nodded. “By the way, you need to be careful on your path of invincibility. This path is full of thorns and bumps. Only those with great luck can bear it. As I know, no one who embarks on the path of invincibility has a good ending.”
“Huh?”
Han Fei couldn’t have felt worse. What’s the meaning of this? Everyone says that the path of invincibility is hard to walk, but I’ve already walked it!
The Beast King comforted him. “However, it’s not necessarily true. After all, I have seen very few people taking the paths of invincibility. Perhaps someone has succeeded. You can even cross the river of time, which shows that you are very lucky.”
Han Fei smiled bitterly. Is this considered comfort?
