Chapter 56: Negotiation
Leaving the sect's residence again, Zhang Yun put on a black cloak and melted into the darkness.
Unlike other sky-controlling magic weapons, the black cloak of the Ghost Shadow Gate is made of unknown materials, and it naturally has the function of concealing aura.
Zhang Yun had lent this item to Senior Brother Wang once before, and when Senior Brother Wang returned the thing, his senior brother added an extra layer of shielding aura to his cloak.
In this way, this concealed magic weapon, which could have evaded his spiritual search, could make him even more hidden.
In addition, the night has a natural protective color, and it is even more impossible for others to find him at this time.
On the roof of a house not far from the Zongmen station, Zhang Yun patiently meditated to recuperate.
While resting, he did not forget to pay attention to the situation in the Sect's headquarters, and through his superhuman spiritual sense, he could clearly hear the conversation going on inside.
"Shopkeeper, what do you say we should do about this? Just according to the meaning of this immortal chief? ”
"Generally do what he said, the price is slightly raised, not to mention six hundred spirit stones, let them pay seven hundred spirit stones, this is a big business, we can't miss it."
"But...... Seven hundred spirit stones, that's too much, right? The time of the ghost shadow gate may not be acceptable. ”
"Then it has nothing to do with us, if Shi Rui is unwilling to accept it, just tell Senior Brother Zhang, this deal is yellow, just apologize to him."
……
Hearing this, there is no need to continue listening.
Don't think about it, the so-called "Teng Snake" is actually the direct subordinate of the shopkeeper Ji.
The reason why he was asked to come out to talk was nothing more than to clear up the relationship.
After all, Shopkeeper Ji was the person in charge of the Xuanling Sect's residence in Shiyang City, how could he have anything to do with the disciples of the Demon Dao?
This doesn't fit the status of a decent family, does it?
Actually, it's all understandable.
Zhang Yun opened his eyes, stared at the courtyard expressionlessly, and said in his heart: "The outside world is really too complicated, compared with these people's scheming and means, I am still a little worse after all." ”
……
It was early in the morning of the second day.
Teng Snake sneakily left the sect's residence early in the morning and slipped out in the direction of the outside of the city gate.
Zhang Yun opened his eyes the moment he left the courtyard.
He tightened the hood on his head, silently disappeared into the shadows of the sun, and followed him at a distance of about three hundred meters.
In this way, he tracked all the way to a ruined temple outside the city, and for the first time saw the person he was about to face.
It was a man who looked like a withered man.
Eaciated cheeks, high jaws, pale skin, and deep dark circles that are hard to erase all show how haggard this person is.
is such a person, but he has a pair of sharp slitted eyes, and his eyes release a terrifying cold light all the time, which makes people who see these eyes can't help but feel tight.
Even at a distance of more than 300 meters, Zhang Yun felt the sense of oppression from this person.
Looking at the breath, at least it is already the late stage of qi refining.
The momentum exuding from his body alone could make him feel so much pressure, and this was definitely not an opponent he could defeat.
Not only that, but there were at least nine mid-stage Qi refining disciples lurking around this person.
With such a strong lineup, it is impossible to make small moves no matter what.
The difference in strength is too big, so it's better to trade with them honestly.
Thinking like this, Zhang Yun cheered up and eavesdropped on the conversation between Teng Snake and those people.
"The person you are looking for has found our shopkeeper and entrusted our shopkeeper to trade with you, he said, if you want to get things back, then take seven hundred spirit stones in exchange, if you can accept it, then talk about the follow-up."
After hearing this, Shi Rui's brows were already deeply furrowed, he narrowed his eyes, stared at Teng Snake's eyes and asked, "You mean...... Does he know we're looking for him? And took the initiative to propose a deal, please matchmaking? ”
"That's right! Just as you said, Immortal Chief, it was he who took the initiative to find us. Teng Snake replied in the affirmative, confirming Shi Rui's statement.
Hearing this, Shi Rui let out a "tsk" and closed his eyes in contemplation.
Sure enough, my guess was correct.
The front foot entrusted the people of the Xuanling Sect to assist in the investigation, and this person went out of the sect on the back foot, and it was not good where to go, but he went to Shiyang City.
Isn't this just taking the initiative to come to the door and want to negotiate with me?
It's not easy to deal with!
Shi Rui suddenly felt troubled, this was completely different from what he expected, things shouldn't have developed in this direction.
According to normal thinking, Zhang Yun shouldn't have chosen to use force to confront them, use his strength to threaten them, intimidate them, and make them dare not go against him again, right?
This is what a normal teenager should think.
But this guy is completely the other way around.
He didn't even think about confronting my ghost shadow gate, but took the lead in thinking of trading, this is what a young man should think?
Could it be that this disciple of the Xuanling Sect has become a refiner?
Shi Rui felt a headache, what he was most afraid of was encountering such an opponent.
Brainless goods, as long as you use a little strategy, you can easily capture the opponent, or kill them directly.
But when you encounter an enemy with brains, it's very difficult.
Especially when he saw that Teng Snake was coming alone, this feeling of pain became more and more obvious.
This man was so cautious that he refused to negotiate in person.
Always hide in the shadows, waiting for the outcome of the negotiations.
How can this be?
At this moment, Shi Rui thought a lot and thought of a lot of plans.
But without exception, they didn't grasp Zhang Yun's grasp.
Zhang Yun had too many options, he could stay in the shadows all the time, or he could return to the sect to wait for news and complete the transaction with the hands of the disciples of the Deacon Hall.
He can be invincible as long as he wants to.
Shi Rui could hardly find Zhang Yun's disadvantage.
Of course, Zhang Yun is not completely without weaknesses, at least there is one thing that he can't escape.
Shi Rui pondered for an unknown amount of time, and a pair of squinted eyes opened again.
"You tell that person, the number of seven hundred spirit stones is too big, I need to return to the sect to report and discuss it with the master."
Teng Snake did not dare to offend, and when he heard a clear answer, he cautiously saluted and hurried away.
Zhang Yun hid on the banyan tree in the distance, and after the snake left, he quickly sneaked forward from the shade of the tree, and hid again at a distance of nearly a hundred meters from Shi Rui and them.
"Seven hundred spirit stones? How dare the lion open his mouth! There is no way that Uncle Soul Eater will agree to this price, so why ......? ”
Seeing Teng Snake leaving, Wen Ju couldn't wait to ask, he didn't understand why Shi Rui would say that to Teng Snake.
Just looked at Shi Rui shook his head and said: "It's okay to ask, besides, in this way, you can stabilize that person, if you want to get back the soul refining flag, you have to stabilize him for a while, right?" ”
"Yes!"
Wen Ju wanted to say something, but Shi Rui waved his hand at him, interrupting what he wanted to say.
"Whoever it is, it's you!" Shi Rui named the disciples of the Ghost Shadow Sect beside him and ordered, "You go back and report the news first, and ...... the matter here."
"Wait!"
Before Shi Rui finished speaking, a voice that he had never heard before came into his ears.
Wen Ju and Sang Huan were still looking for someone to intervene in the crowd, but Shi Rui had already reacted, and his eyes locked on the surrounding jungle and began to look for it.
Looking at the sharp eyes, he really planned to pull Zhang Yun out of the bushes.
While searching, Shi Rui asked loudly: "Your Excellency is undoubtedly the little hero who killed the traitor, I don't know what Your Excellency intended to speak?" ”
Zhang Yun's whole body was covered behind the bushes, and his whole body was not exposed, and he only used his voice to communicate with the other party.
"That's right! I'm the one you're looking for, and as for my intentions, I'm just trying to correct it! The price I gave was 600 spirit stones, not 700 spirit stones, and I hope you don't misunderstand! ”
As soon as the words fell, a playful voice came, and the man who looked like a fox licked his lips and asked, "What about it...... Seven hundred spirit stones again? ”
Zhang Yun's face was expressionless, and his voice was still calm: "I don't know, this matter has nothing to do with me." ”
"Oh! I see! Sang Huan turned his head to look at Shi Rui and provoked: "Senior Brother Shi, that old man surnamed Ji eats the difference, should we fall for this kid's plan to kill people with a knife and kill that surnamed Ji?" ”
Shi Rui glanced at him coldly, ignored the question, and spoke directly to Zhang Yun: "Six hundred is too high, if it is five hundred spirit stones, it is not too much, maybe the old ...... Master was able to accept it. ”
Five hundred? This is about the same price as previously expected.
Zhang Yun thought about it, instead of being greedy for the hundred spirit stones, he felt that it would be more affordable to settle this matter quickly.
Thinking about the gains and losses, he replied loudly: "Yes!" That's five hundred spirit stones! ”
After saying that, he asked again: "When to trade?" ”
Shi Rui replied without thinking about it: "Three days later!" ”
Three days?
For such a long time, how do you know how many people the Ghost Shadow Gate can transfer over, and if there is a net of heaven and earth at that time, won't you be dead?
"Three days is too long!" Zhang Yun said without refuting it: "At most, one day, make a deal before midnight tomorrow, and when tomorrow passes, I will leave immediately." ”
Damn it! Did he also make him aware of this?
The expression on Shi Rui's face seemed to be smiling, and he gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay!" ”
