“Yes!”
“Where’s the corpse?”
The Elder asked calmly.
However, his eyes were filled with anxiety and anticipation.
He had already tried his best to suppress this.
Although the Virtual Realm was not as good as the True Realm. If the corpse contained a large amount of prenatal qi, it was still sufficient for low-level cultivators to absorb and cultivate.
“Here!”
As the youth spoke, he took out the corpse and threw it on the ground.
“It’s a human?”
Several Elders were surprised.
A human corpse was nothing.
Human cultivators were taboo, so they could sell them to orcs or beasts.
Several Elders surrounded the corpse and began to examine it.
“It’s indeed the corpse of a Virtual Realm expert.”
One of the Elders nodded.
Whether it was the bones, skin, or the residual aura, it was indeed the corpse of a human Virtual Realm expert.
He glanced at the seller.
Then, the Elders shook their heads in their hearts.
This person is just a beggar. They could lower the price and give him a few gold coins.
“This corpse looks a little familiar?”
“Isn’t… Isn’t this our Pavilion Master? Look, the mole on his face.”
Shua~
The Elders stared at the corpse’s face.
“How is this possible! The Pavilion Master is thousands of miles away. Why would he appear here?”
“Yesterday, the people from the Main Pavilion said that the Pavilion Master was doing well in the Main Pavilion. Our rewards were personally given by the Pavilion Master!”
The few Elders refused to believe that something would happen to the Pavilion Master.
Even if something did happen, the corpse couldn’t be sold so quickly.
It would be bad to sell it moreover it was being sold to their Square Pavilion.
Wasn’t this courting death!
“No, why does he look more and more like the Pavilion Master!”
“That’s right, this is your Pavilion Master. I did not travel in vain for the whole night and brought his corpse to sell.”
At this moment, the beggar opened his mouth to speak.
His careless appearance seemed to be joking.
“What?”
The few Elders were shocked.
They couldn’t believe it.
But the corpse in front of them looked exactly the same as their Pavilion Master, and he was a Virtual Realm expert.
Especially the mole at the corner of his mouth.
Was it a coincidence?
Even if there were people who looked the same in this world, there wouldn’t be so many coincidences!
“Don’t be surprised! Didn’t you prefer buying corpses not knowing where they came from at a low price? The origin of this thing was the same as how you treated the corpse of the Pig Demon previously. You can just turn a blind eye to it! A few gold coins are also money.”
Wei Yang spoke.
The few Elders turned their gazes back to the person in front of them.
What did he mean?
Was he mocking them?
How did he know about the Pig Demon?
They stared at Wei Yang repeatedly. No matter how they looked at him, he looked like an ordinary beggar.
No.
His manner was different.
This manner was not something that a beggar had, not even an expert among beggars.
Seeing the mockery and ridicule in the eyes of the beggar before them, the few Elders were helpless.
The other party was able to obtain a Virtual Realm corpse, and he even knew about the Pig Demon. Even a fool would know that this beggar before them wasn’t simple.
“You… Is this really the corpse of our Pavilion Master?”
They gritted their teeth.
The few Elders were enduring it.
“Regardless of whether it’s true or not, you are still buying it, right? If this is not your Pavilion Master and you refuse to buy this corpse, are you even running a business?”
“If it is, hehe… When that time comes, the successor of the Square Pavilion and the Main Pavilion won’t be able to find the Pavilion Master’s corpse… This will be the only time all of you will rely on money to buy back your Pavilion Master’s corpse.”
Wei Yang crossed his arms across his chest and looked at the few of them mockingly.
“You…”
The few Elders pointed at Wei Yang, but none of them stepped forward.
Old men were shrewd. Putting aside the fact that they had lived for decades, they could tell the difference between this beggar before them. Even if they couldn’t tell, they had lost the will to fight over words.
If they could, they wouldn’t fight.
Who knew what kind of price they had to pay if they fought with him?
That beggar was right.
No matter what, they had to buy it.
“Name your price!”
“If I were to ask for a price, it will be very high. I’m afraid you can’t afford it. I shall let you decide the price! You can fool me the way you fooled the evil Wolf Clan.”
“The evil Wolf Clan didn’t have such knowledge.”
The corner of one of the Elder’s lips twitched.
“What if you succeed in fooling them?”
“Fifty gold coins!”
One of the elders gritted his teeth and said.
He was afraid that the other party would haggle over the price, so he could only start from the lowest price.
He hoped that he could gain the upper hand in future bargaining.
“Deal!”
Wei Yang said.
It was clean and neat.
“What?”
After getting fifty gold coins, Wei Yang returned to the beggars gathering place in the city.
Besides the fifty gold coins from the Square Pavilion, there were also gold coins from the evil Wolf Clan.
He gathered all the little beggars to his side.
“There are still tens of thousands of gold coins here. Each of you take three gold coins and leave this place. Don’t show your wealth unless you have no other choice. As for the rest, a few of you shall take it. Remember, do not come back. Go to a peaceful place to settle down.”
“Master, what happened?”
“All the members of the evil Wolf Clan are dead.”
“It’s great that the members of the evil Wolf Clan are dead. Then we won’t be bullied anymore. Without the evil Wolf Clan, we will live better. Why do we need to leave?”
A few older beggars were puzzled.
This was a good thing.
The city was peaceful, and there would be less oppression on the beggars so why should they leave?
“Soon, there will be people who are even worse than them who will come after you. So you have to leave. Go as far away as possible. It’s best to forget about this place. I can’t protect you forever.”
Wei Yang explained.
“Who’s the powerful opponent?”
“Square Pavilion! This isn’t someone you can afford to offend. Quickly leave!”
A thousand miles away, Square City.
The tallest pavilion in the city was the Square Pavilion.
Square Pavilion was the largest merchant group in the Fenglan region. Every city had its own pavilion.
The power was huge, and the pavilion had many capable people.
Just last night, the Main Pavilion was ambushed.
The Pavilion Master died, and his corpse was missing.
Many experts in the pavilion were heavily injured, and many treasures were destroyed. In addition, there were also many who went missing.
After a day of panic, the son of the old Pavilion Master of the Square Pavilion inherited the position.
“No matter the cost, find my father’s corpse.”
Two days later.
The small city transported a Virtual Realm corpse into Square City.
Upon seeing the corpse, the entire Square City was filled with cries.
“Who did it?”
“We really didn’t know it was the old Pavilion Master’s corpse.”
…
“Haha, you actually spent fifty gold coins to buy back my father’s corpse. Haha, my father was only worth fifty gold coins. What a great insult.”
After understanding what had happened, the new Pavilion Master threw his head back and laughed loudly.
Hateful!
He had never hated these few people so much.
“We were thinking for the pavilion’s benefit.”
“Benefit? What kind of benefit? They were blatantly slapping our faces.”
The new Pavilion Master was on the verge of going insane.
The few Elders knelt on the ground in silence.
They would never have thought that this Virtual Realm corpse belonged to the old Pavilion Master.
They had offended an expert.
“Who did this?”
The new Pavilion Master stared at the few Elders with bloodshot eyes.
That gaze of his caused the few Elders to feel guilty.
“I… Pavilion Master, that person couldn’t be offended…”
The few Elders were trembling.
“Hmph! Even if I can’t afford to offend that person, I must know who he was.”
Half a day later.
Dozens of figures rushed out from the Square Pavilion and headed straight for the small city.
A day later, the experts of the Square Pavilion arrived at the small city.
At the same time, several Wolf Demon followed the scent and arrived at the outskirts of the small city.
“Are we still chasing?”
The blue-eyed Wolf Demon asked.
He could feel that they were very close to Wei Yang.
