Great Chaos Thunder Technique, Flame Ancestral Symbol

Cao Ying's analysis was clear and concise; it not only indicated her stance that everything would be based on Shen Wen's will.

It also pointed out the stakes: the Luo Family was more valuable alive than dead.

Shen Wen nodded slightly; Cao Ying's thoughts coincided with his own.

His original goal was the sixth-rank Heaven Scorpion Poison Dragon Beast's magic core.

Now, combined with the practical need to maintain the spatial wormhole.

Perhaps he could even use this opportunity to make the Luo Family suffer a heavy loss.

He turned his gaze back to the anxious City Lord Luo Cheng in the air, his cold stare making City Lord Luo Cheng's heart tighten.

"City Lord Luo Cheng," Shen Wen spoke slowly, his voice flat yet carrying immense pressure, "Considering you are sensible, and that my wife has a history with the Cao Family."

"For the sake of the Cao Family, I can spare your Luo Family from total annihilation today."

Upon hearing this, the heavy stone in City Lord Luo Cheng's heart fell slightly, and he hurriedly bowed, "Many thanks to Your Excellency for your magnanimity!"

"However," Shen Wen's tone shifted, becoming abruptly stern, "Death penalty may be avoided, but living sins are inescapable!"

He pointed at Luo Xiaoyao, who was slumped on the ground: "This woman, abolish her cultivation, imprison her to reflect on her mistakes, and she shall never step out of the Luo Family for the rest of her life!"

"If I hear of her stepping out of the Luo Family again, or if your Luo Family engages in such bullying again."

"I will personally return and raze the Tianya City Luo Family to the ground! At that time, not a blade of grass will remain!"

"Yes! Yes! This old man obeys! I will certainly discipline her strictly!" City Lord Luo Cheng, covered in cold sweat, quickly agreed.

Abolishing cultivation, while cruel, was still better than losing his life or even implicating the entire clan.

"Second, I need the Heaven Scorpion Poison Dragon Beast's magic core!"

"Third, I need three additional seventh-rank magic cores from Dragon-attribute Demonic Beasts!"

"Fourth, pay fifty million gold coins as compensation for the mental distress caused to me and my wife!"

"If even one of these conditions is not met, today, the Luo Family will cease to exist in Tianya City!"

Cao Ying, standing to the side, felt delighted, 'He called me wife, hehe!'

[Affinity between Master and Mistress has broken through 20%. Congratulations to Master and Mistress for the advancement of their relationship, may you be united in heart forever.]

[Obtained reward: Great Chaos Thunder Method, Flame Ancestral Symbol]

[Do you wish to accept the reward?]

Shen Wen was stunned for a moment, glancing at the head-bowing Cao Ying, what was this about?

But since this reward was the Flame Ancestral Symbol, he would be even more confident in helping Cao Ying collect the Heavenly Flame.

[No!]

It was better to finish dealing with the Luo Family first.

Compared to the joy of Shen Wen and Cao Ying.

On the other side.

Every time Shen Wen spoke a condition, City Lord Luo Cheng's Face grew paler.

Especially when he heard about abolishing Luo Xiaoyao's Dou Qi and the demand for three seventh-rank Dragon-attribute magic cores, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

A seventh-rank magic core was something that could only be produced by a powerhouse at the Dou Zong level, each one was priceless, and the Luo Family's inventory was certainly not large!

Fifty million gold coins would almost empty out most of the Luo Family's liquid capital!

But the situation was pressing, and facing this fierce god Shen Wen, as well as the colossal entity, the Pill Tower, that might be behind him, City Lord Luo Cheng had no room for negotiation.

Being able to preserve the Family's Legacy was already a stroke of fortune.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the sharp pain and humiliation in his heart, and gritted his teeth: "Fine! Your Excellency's conditions, my Luo Family... agrees to them all!"

Shen Wen nodded slightly, not surprised by this result. "Lead the way, to your Luo Family."

"I hope that before I leave Tianya City, I will see everything prepared."

"Yes, yes, yes, Your Excellency, please follow me!"

City Lord Luo Cheng did not dare to be negligent, hurriedly making a gesture of invitation, and even disregarding his Soul injury, personally led the way.

He did not worry at all about Shen Wen being in danger at the Luo Family's base.

In the Face of absolute strength and background, any small tricks were just courting death.

Shen Wen turned around, very naturally took Cao Ying's hand, and nodded to Dan Chen.

Cao Ying was held by him, her cheeks under the hood slightly flushed, but she did not pull away, only softly said "Mm."

...

In the Luo Family's main hall, the atmosphere was so heavy it felt like it could drip water.

Shen Wen sat calmly in the main seat, with Cao Ying and Dan Chen sitting on both sides.

City Lord Luo Cheng personally served spiritual tea, his posture extremely low, the smile squeezed onto his Face uglier than crying.

His Soul was injured, and at this moment his head was still throbbing, but what hurt more was his heart, which was about to suffer a massive loss.

"The three of you, please have some tea. The apology gift is being tallied, it will be ready soon, very soon." City Lord Luo Cheng said while bowing, acting with extreme caution.

Cao Ying seemed to feel that wearing a hood was a bit stifling, and there was no need to hide it here, so she lifted her hand and removed the hood.

Suddenly.

A country-toppling, bewitchingly moving Face was exposed, the breathtaking beauty making the slightly dim living room seem to brighten up a bit.

City Lord Luo Cheng looked up subconsciously.

His gaze fell on Cao Ying's Face, first feeling incredibly familiar, and then with a "boom" in his head, like a thunderclap!

"Cao... Eldest Miss of the Cao Family Cao Ying?!"

City Lord Luo Cheng gasped, his eyes wide, his body swaying uncontrollably.

As the head of the Tianya City Luo Family, he did indeed have some meager business dealings with the Cao Family, one of the Five Great Families of the Pill Tower in the Central Plains.

He had seen this Demoness of the Cao Family who was famous in the Central Plains from afar several times, and had a deep impression of her appearance!

How could the Eldest Miss of the Cao Family be here?!

And so intimate with this terrifying young man?!

In a flash of lightning, a piece of news that had shaken the Central Plains not long ago suddenly rushed into City Lord Luo Cheng's mind.

The Demoness of the Cao Family, Cao Ying, had married the closed-door Disciple of the Pill Tower Grand Elder of the Pill Tower Old Monster Lin, that peerless Genius who was already a Peak Dou Huang and a Seventh-Rank Alchemist at the age of only eighteen, Shen Wen!

It was said that Shen Wen lived in seclusion, rarely showing his true Face, and was extremely mysterious.

City Lord Luo Cheng's gaze slowly turned to the handsome young man in the main seat.

His throat rolled with difficulty, and a chill surged from the soles of his feet to his crown, his limbs instantly turning cold.

He... could he be...

A young man who could walk side-by-side with Cao Ying, act intimately, and possess such terrifying strength and profound background.

Apart from that legendary Shen Wen, who else could it be?!

He had actually provoked Old Monster Lin's Disciple, a future core figure of the Pill Tower!

And Luo Xiaoyao had even threatened to kill his wife, Cao Ying?!

This was no longer just kicking an iron plate; this was poking a hole in the sky!

"Thump!"

City Lord Luo Cheng could no longer stand, his legs went weak, and he knelt directly on the ground.

His voice carried tears and extreme fear: "Young Master Shen... Young Miss Cao! This old one was blind and offended your heavenly majesty, I deserve to die!"

"I deserve to die!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed heavily, and his forehead instantly became swollen and bruised.

At this moment, the dignity of a Five-Star Dou Zong, the Face of the head of the Luo Family, were all bullshit in the Face of the potentially impending clan-extermination disaster!

"Quick! Go to the warehouse! Exchange those three seventh-rank Dragon-attribute magic cores for four of the best quality! Also, take out the medicinal ingredients prepared for those two Break-Sect Pills as well! Hurry!!"

City Lord Luo Cheng almost roared at the steward who was also scared silly, his voice trembling.

He now only hated himself for not giving a heavy enough apology, only begging to appease the anger of this fierce star.

The steward ran out scrambling.

Shen Wen picked up his teacup, gently blew the foam, not looking at City Lord Luo Cheng who was kowtowing like a pestle, just saying indifferently: "Know fear now?"

City Lord Luo Cheng was streaming with tears and snot, lying on the ground not daring to look up: "This lowly one knows his mistake! This lowly one knows his mistake! It is all to blame on this lowly one for poor discipline, indulging that wicked obstacle to be lawless, and offending Young Master Shen and his wife!"

"This lowly one is willing to pay any price, only begging Young Master Shen to give the Luo Family a way out!"

Soon, the steward brought a few guards, holding a few jade boxes and a storage ring, and returned trembling.

City Lord Luo Cheng received them with trembling hands, and respectfully held them above his head: "Young Master Shen, this is the Heaven Scorpion Poison Dragon Beast's magic core you wanted, four seventh-rank Dragon-attribute magic cores."

"Fifty million gold coins, and... and the medicinal ingredients for two Break-Sect Pills, a small token of apology, I hope you will kindly accept!"
