339: Emperor of Mockery

When the Cultivators in the large pit below heard this, they all cried out in surprise collectively.

"Holy crap! Stripping a pill nurturing pool that holds hundreds of thousands of emperor pills—doesn't that mean these ten people might have obtained hundreds of thousands of Emperor Realm Medicinal Pills?"

"That's right, that's hundreds of thousands of Emperor Realm Medicinal Pills. Even if we got just one, we'd be laughing our heads off."

"Impossible! Impossible! I didn't get a single emperor pill in the ruins. There's no way they got hundreds of thousands of emperor pills. This is a lie!"

"Exactly! I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"

Over ten thousand Cultivators, with expressions ranging from shock to doubt, stared intently at Night Owl and the others in the sky.

Among them, very few had managed to obtain any emperor pills inside.

Now that Night Owl and his group of ten might have obtained hundreds of thousands of Emperor Realm Medicinal Pills, their first reaction, besides shock, was skepticism.

After all, these were hundreds of thousands of Emperor Realm Medicinal Pills. Even if they sold everyone from the Three Great Emperor-level Factions, they wouldn't recoup one or two tenths of that value. They truly could not believe Night Owl had obtained so many emperor pills.

The Great Emperor Old Ancestors of the three factions quickly recovered after a moment of shock.

The three of them exchanged glances, their eyes revealing ecstatic joy.

Finally, the three nodded, preparing to have the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild confirm whether this matter was true.

If it was true, even if they had to kill all ten people, including Night Owl, they must seize the Medicinal Pills today.

The Great Emperor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild looked at Night Owl with an expression of difficult-to-contain excitement, his voice trembling slightly as he asked, "Then... then did you truly obtain hundreds of thousands of emperor pills?"

After the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild finished speaking, he stared intently at Night Owl, waiting anxiously for his reply, his breathing somewhat ragged.

As soon as the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild finished asking, the Great Emperor Old Ancestors of the Nine Star Sect and the Flying Cloud Holy Land, along with the over ten thousand Cultivators in the large pit, all fixed their gazes on Night Owl, eager to see how he would respond.

It wasn't that these people lacked knowledge; it was that hundreds of thousands of emperor pills was simply too astonishing to hear.

They had lived for so long, yet they had only ever heard of emperor pills appearing one at a time, never hundreds of thousands appearing all at once.

"Heh, Senior's comprehension ability is truly poor!"

Night Owl sneered and continued, "Didn't I just say? We stripped a pill nurturing pool that holds hundreds of thousands of emperor pills. Since I said it holds hundreds of thousands of emperor pills, then we definitely obtained hundreds of thousands of emperor pills. Can Senior not even understand such a simple statement?"

Since he planned to provoke the three of them into making a move so that Elder Zhao Da and the others could come out and deal with the situation, he wouldn't be polite to them. As long as he could mock them, he would mock them fiercely.

"Hiss, this kid is crazy! He possesses a great treasure, and not only is he not subservient, but he actually dares to mock a Great Emperor for poor comprehension. He must be rushing to reincarnate."

"That's right, the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce is a Peak Great Emperor. If he genuinely attacked with full force, he would probably instantly kill him. How dare he do this?"

Hearing that Night Owl not only admitted to possessing hundreds of thousands of emperor pills but also mocked the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce a few times,

the over ten thousand Cultivators in the large pit below were all dumbfounded with shock.

They had seen arrogant Cultivators before, but this was the first time they had seen a Cultivator like Night Owl, who dared to directly mock a Great Emperor. It completely overturned their understanding.

While the Cultivators at the bottom of the pit looked like this, The Sha Diao siblings in the sky also wore blank expressions.

They simply could not understand why Night Owl was doing this.

They knew that by disobeying the Great Emperor's orders and leaving, they had already angered a Great Emperor Expert.

At a time like this, instead of revealing his backing to make the three Great Emperors wary,

Night Owl instead admitted to possessing hundreds of thousands of emperor pills and even mocked a Great Emperor's poor comprehension skills. It was as if he was afraid the Great Emperor Expert wouldn't kill him and was actively seeking death.

"You... are courting death!" Hearing the mockery in Night Owl's words, the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce's face instantly turned extremely ugly. His entire body erupted with an Aura, and he prepared to strike down Night Owl.

As a Peak Great Emperor Expert, it had been many years since anyone had mocked him. How could he tolerate being mocked now by a First Level Quasi-Emperor?

"Wait, wait! Fellow Daoist Wanbao, hold on!"

"That's right, Fellow Daoist Wanbao, don't act rashly."

Seeing the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild about to kill Night Owl, the Great Emperor Old Ancestors of the Nine Star Sect and the Flying Cloud Holy Land quickly pulled him back and advised him via voice transmission.

"Fellow Daoist Wanbao, do not be rash. This kid holds hundreds of thousands of emperor pills. If he destroys them all before you act, we will gain nothing."

"Exactly, Fellow Daoist Wanbao, let's stabilize them first and see if we can get them to hand over the Medicinal Pills. Once they hand over the Medicinal Pills, you can deal with this kid however you like."

After transmitting their voices, the two stared intently at the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce, signaling him not to act impulsively and to prioritize the emperor pills above all else.

"Hoo!" Hearing their advice, the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild Old Ancestor also let out a long breath, suppressing the fury in his heart and adopting a kind and amiable demeanor.

"What the two Fellow Daoists say is correct. I was too angry just now and didn't think things through. I will talk to him now and try to get him to hand over the Medicinal Pills first."

The Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild sent a voice transmission to the Great Emperor Old Ancestors of the Nine Star Sect and the Flying Cloud Holy Land.

Then, wearing that amiable expression, he smiled and said to Night Owl, "Not only is Little Friend's strength Heaven-Defying, but your words are also humorous. This old man was a bit out of line just now; Little Friend should definitely not take it to heart."

After the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce finished speaking, he cupped his fists toward Night Owl with an apologetic look, as if offering an apology.

Seeing that the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild not only didn't get angry but instead apologized to Night Owl,

the Cultivators in the large pit below were all completely bewildered, not understanding what the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce was trying to pull.

After all, being mocked by a Quasi-Emperor Cultivator, not only did he not get angry, but he actually apologized to the person who mocked him.

Could it be that he had some special fetish, where the more others mocked and cursed him, the happier he became?

"Haha, since Senior was out of line, I certainly won't blame Senior. It's just that Senior's state of mind is too poor; perhaps you should Cultivate more in the future, lest you frighten others?"

Watching the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce's deliberately affected posture, Night Owl continued to mock him with a smile.

The Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce suppressing his anger definitely meant he was plotting something, so Night Owl decided to add fuel to the fire and provoke him into acting sooner.

As Night Owl's words fell.

Before the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce could react, the over ten thousand Cultivators in the large pit burst out in exclamations first.

"Hiss, this... this kid is really rushing to die! He just finished mocking him, and now he's mocking the Great Emperor again! He's challenging the Great Emperor's bottom line."

"That's right, does he really think Great Emperor Experts are made of clay and can be mocked at will?"

"Hmph! Being so rude to a Great Emperor, the Great Emperor absolutely won't spare him this time."

The over ten thousand Cultivators in the large pit all stared intently at the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce, hoping he would kill Night Owl and let them witness the proper dignity of a Great Emperor Expert.

However, their hopes were dashed.

Not only was the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce not angry, but he chuckled and said, "Little Friend speaks correctly. This old man's state of mind is indeed lacking; I will certainly Cultivate my state of mind well in the future."

After the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce finished speaking, he continued with a smile, "Little Friend, you destroyed the ruins belonging to our three factions, causing us severe losses. Shouldn't you offer some compensation before you leave?"

The Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild looked at Night Owl, his eyes narrowed in a smile.

Although he wore a smile on his face, he already hated Night Owl to the bone. If it weren't for the sake of obtaining the emperor pills intact, he would have long ago extracted Night Owl's soul, refined his spirit, crushed his bones, and scattered his ashes.

Later, as soon as he retrieved the Emperor Realm Medicinal Pills from Night Owl, his first action would be to seize Night Owl and torture him brutally to vent the hatred in his heart.
