268: The Prison Clan's Response

Xiang Shan frowned, not answering for a moment.

Although the Great World of Slaughter posed a great threat, launching surprise attacks from time to time, they came purely for slaughter.

To Xiang Shan, they were a bunch of lunatics.

Seeing Xiang Shan hesitate, Xun Xiuyuan spoke again, "Listening to you, the Great World of Slaughter's threat is significant, but the most dangerous should be the Great Elf World, right?"

This time, Xiang Shan didn't hesitate and immediately nodded, saying, "That's right, of course. The Great Elf World has teamed up with surrounding Great Worlds several times to attack the Great World of Slaughter, but the results were not ideal. The Great World of Slaughter has many Super God Kings. They invade the surrounding Great Worlds so frantically, probably hoping to achieve Initial Saint status through slaughter."

Xun Xiuyuan laughed, "Exactly. My appearance fee is high, but I think the Great Elf World should pay the most."

When Xiang Shan heard this, his eyes lit up. 'That's right!'

"Since World Lord Xun has spoken, I'll ask for more details. How much is the appearance fee?"

Xiang Shan asked.

Xun Xiuyuan truly didn't know how to set a price and simply looked at Zhuge Lun.

Zhuge Lun understood and stepped forward, saying, "The strength of our World Lord goes without saying. He is absolutely a top-tier combatant even among Super God Kings. To wage war against a Great World, it would require at least one hundred portions of primordial world fragments."

After hearing Zhuge Lun's quote, Xun Xiuyuan felt it was too little. He had gained dozens of primordial world fragments from just a few simple battles in the Extraterritorial Battlefield. Was one hundred too few?

Just as Xun Xiuyuan was about to make an exorbitant demand, Xiang Shan had already refused: "One hundred is too much. The Elf Queen wouldn't agree to that price."

Xiang Shan's refusal stifled Xun Xiuyuan's prepared exorbitant demand.

Just as Zhuge Lun was about to continue, Xun Xiuyuan finally spoke, "Go discuss it with the Elf Queen. It will definitely be worth every penny."

Seeing this, Zhuge Lun said nothing more.

Xiang Shan pondered for a moment, nodded, and left the Great Barren World's encampment.

Xun Xiuyuan then turned to Zhuge Lun and asked, "Only one hundred portions? Isn't that too little?"

Then Xun Xiuyuan took out the recently acquired primordial world fragments and handed them to Zhuge Lun.

After Zhuge Lun took them, he was incredibly surprised: "So many?"

Xun Xiuyuan was confused: "I killed so many, didn't I?"

Zhuge Lun was even more surprised: "Every God King had one?"

"Isn't that how it works?"

Ling Kuang explained, "After a major battle, ten God Kings might not even yield one primordial world fragment."

Xun Xiuyuan said, "That's not right. In that battle in the Space Corridor, didn't every God King yield one?"

Zhuge Lun nodded and said, "That's also where we were puzzled, but we didn't ask you because, after all, it's your secret."

Only then did Xun Xiuyuan realize how precious those primordial world fragments, which he had obtained so easily, actually were.

No wonder Xiang Shan had refused so decisively when Zhuge Lun had requested one hundred portions of primordial world fragments.

Inside a massive palace within the Yuzhu Great World's military camp, World Lord Qing Mian was enjoying the ministrations of a group of female ghosts. Since he had acquired a time-based secret treasure in a secret realm, he had studied it for a long time and unexpectedly comprehended a trace of the Law of Time, fortuitously advancing to Initial Saint.

From then on, the Yuzhu Great World's status in the Extraterritorial Battlefield significantly rose.

Even the Eternal Great World came to the Yuzhu territory, wanting to purchase that time-based secret treasure.

Qing Mian had advanced to Initial Saint, so the importance of the treasure was self-evident. Although he didn't sell it, he successfully became an honored guest of the Eternal Great World by leasing the time-based secret treasure.

The Eternal Great World was a very powerful Great World in the Extraterritorial Battlefield. Among the thousands of Great Worlds in the Extraterritorial Battlefield, the Eternal Great World ranked among the top three.

Therefore, Qing Mian believed that becoming an honored guest of the Eternal Great World was a very happy thing.

Until the transmission talisman rang, Qing Mian leisurely answered the call.

A Yuzhu phantom with a green face and fangs slowly appeared before Qing Mian.

Qing Mian looked at his right-hand man and said, "What happened?"

Qing Shi, as a Super God King of the Yuzhu and Qing Mian's old partner, spoke seriously, "Qing Shan led a team to explore a secret realm, but their soul lamps suddenly all extinguished."

Qing Mian was stunned upon hearing this, abruptly stood up, and said with a grim expression, "Could it be that they entered a special secret realm that severs soul connections?"

Qing Shan was Qing Mian's eldest son and the most cultivated among his younger descendants.

He was Qing Mian's only descendant at the Super God King Realm.

That was why Qing Mian's reaction was so strong.

Qing Shi saw Qing Mian's expression, which was also why he was unwilling to report in person, as he knew Qing Mian would surely be enraged upon hearing this news.

"Qing Shan said he would go to the southern part of the Extraterritorial Battlefield when he left. He shouldn't have entered those special secret realms, because there are none in the south. Special secret realms are all near the central part of the Extraterritorial Battlefield."

Qing Shi analyzed calmly and coolly.

Qing Mian looked at Qing Shi with a distorted expression: "You mean, Qing Shan and his team are dead?"

Qing Shi did not answer, remaining silent.

Qing Mian roared in anger, then heavily waved his hand at the women who had just been serving him. All the maids vanished as if weathered away, leaving no trace.

After killing a few people, Qing Mian slowly sat down, lost in thought.

Seeing Qing Mian's anger explode, Qing Shi immediately said, "I have already sent people to investigate. We should have news very soon. After all, I have a guess about Qing Shan's destination."

Qing Mian asked, "Where do you guess he went?"

Qing Shi said, "The Great Barren World has a secret realm that should have opened by now. That secret realm produces many top-grade light and dark spirit materials, so Qing Shan's destination is very likely there."

Qing Mian couldn't help but wonder, "The Great Barren World? Is it very powerful?"

Qing Shi said, "That Great World is very weak, so it definitely wasn't them who did it. But there's a Great World of Slaughter nearby. If Qing Shan encountered people from the Great World of Slaughter, then it's hard to say."

Qing Mian's brows furrowed when he heard 'Great World of Slaughter.' This Great World was very famous in the southern part of the Extraterritorial Battlefield.

Because the Great World of Slaughter didn't seek resources or territory, but simply enjoyed slaughter, such an enemy was one that no one wanted to provoke.

Seeing that Qing Mian's expression had returned to calm, Qing Shi advised, "Let's wait for the investigation results to come back before we make a decision. Even if it was the Great World of Slaughter, since you, World Lord, have already advanced to Initial Saint, dealing with them will be very easy."

After hearing Qing Shi's analysis, Qing Mian slowly nodded in agreement.
