Chapter 794: Chapter 794
Qin Yi was completely dumbfounded.
This chasm is isolated from the outside world, how could the butler know the story of Journey to the West?
"City Lord, I once got a book from a raider who came in from outside. The book is called Journey to the West, it's just a story.
The Stone Monkey Qin Yi talked about is one that popped out of a stone, it has nothing to do with the Mystic Fruit. He's just making things up to buy time."
Lin Zhengnan squinted his eyes at Qin Yi, his mouth twitching.
Qin Yi glared fiercely at the butler, this old fart, can't let me boast properly?
And that raider, why the hell did you bring a copy of Journey to the West with you when you came? You must love that classic a lot.
Damn it, I should have told a story from Water Margin instead.
"Okay, I admit there's part of it I exaggerated. But the Mystic Fruit is world-renowned, that's no exaggeration. If I didn't mention it, none of you would even know about the Mystic Fruit's existence, right?"
Qin Yi's words sounded tough, but inside he was panicking. Old Mo, how's the digging going? I can barely hold on.
Lin Zhengnan smiled and said, "Since you say we can offset a thousand Earth Spirit Stones with this Mystic Fruit, I agree. Now hand over the Mystic Fruit."
I can't hand it over, if I do, I'll be exposed.
"Old Lin, you really don't understand. What is this? This is a rare treasure, it can't just be casually handed over. There must be a ceremony.
You need to have someone build an altar that's eighteen feet tall, you have to worship heaven and earth before taking the Mystic Fruit, that's the rule."
Lin Zhengnan sneered repeatedly, "What rule, you're just talking nonsense here, I've missed even celebrating the New Year because of you.
Since the Mystic Fruit is so precious, I'm not worthy of it. So, I don't want it anymore. Just return the Earth Spirit Stones to me."
Qin Yi smiled bitterly inside, knowing Lin Zhengnan no longer believed him at all.
"Of course, if you're unwilling, then I'll have to act. I'll count to three, if you don't hand over the Earth Spirit Stones, I'll order people to charge in."
"Old Lin, you know my cultivation, they're not my match. To do what you know you can't do is truly foolish. You're a smart man, you wouldn't do something so stupid, right? Besides, they're all tough guys, can you bear to see them hurt?"
Lin Zhengnan suddenly laughed, "Can you bear to hurt them? One."
"Old Lin, wait a minute. I'll give the Earth Spirit Stones back, alright?" Qin Yi cursed silently, this old guy, playing serious.
Lin Zhengnan reached out his hand, "Then take them out."
"You really are too much, not valuing the warrior's lives. It's really unlucky to be following you."
"Qin Yi, don't try to sow discord here. My character isn't something you can tarnish with just a few words.
I have a guess, you were planning to teleport away, but something went wrong, so you've been stalling for time, right?
I advise you to stop wasting time. Either hand over the Earth Spirit Stones, or we charge in."
Lin Zhengnan slowly raised his hand, "Two."
Qin Yi was quite helpless, Mo Wuji and the others went downstairs to dig the tunnel, who knows how it's going?
Lin Zhengnan already shouted the last number.
"Wang Zheng, take people inside, don't hurt anyone but confine them for me."
Wang Zheng responded, looked up at Qin Yi, "Qin Yi, sorry."
"Old Lin, what you're doing is unscrupulous."
"You talk to me about unscrupulous, you sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion to trick Earth Spirit Stones, is that right?
Qin Yi, I know you have high cultivation, and this old man hasn't fought anyone for a long time. But today, I have to exchange a few moves with you, this young hero."
"Old Mo, are you guys done? They're coming in." Qin Yi shouted.
However, it was too far, Mo Wuji probably didn't hear him.
Qin Yi shook his head helplessly, leapt out of the window, and stood mid-air looking down at Lin Zhengnan, "Come on. I don't have Earth Spirit Stones, but a life I've got one."
"Why would I want your life? What makes you think your life is worth a thousand Earth Spirit Stones?" Lin Zhengnan flew up to mid-air, facing Qin Yi from afar.
Qin Yi's mouth twitched, looking at the apple in his hand, chomped down.
Lin Zhengnan sneered, "What? You're eating your Mystic Fruit just like that?"
"Want a bite?" Qin Yi grinned, extending it over.
"Qin Yi, you can't escape today, I advise you to surrender. Actually, I don't want to fight you."
Just as Qin Yi was about to speak, he suddenly felt a force in the world, trying to pull him away.
Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, looked up suddenly, his eyes lit up, seeing the clouds and wind swirling in the air, an unknown-as-to-when, silent vortex appearing.
Could it be he's being teleported away?
Qin Yi could clearly feel his body rising, floating towards the vortex.
Qin Yi suddenly burst into laughter.
"Old Mo, Little White Fairy, we should go now.
Old Lin, goodbye! Until we meet again."
Qin Yi didn't resist the vortex's pull, instead he charged towards it. The source of this content ɪs 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵
"Kid, you can leave, but leave me the Earth Spirit Stones."
Lin Zhengnan chased after Qin Yi, his whole body surging with energy, a massive white light transformed into a giant claw reaching for Qin Yi.
Qin Yi was about to make a move when the giant claw exploded a dozen meters away from him.
Lin Zhengnan was stunned.
Qin Yi was stunned too, then burst out laughing, the claw was shattered by the power from the vortex.
"Old Lin, thanks for the Earth Spirit Stones, I have nothing to repay you with, you can have this Mystic Fruit, it's great for quenching thirst."
Qin Yi tossed the bitten apple towards Lin Zhengnan.
Lin Zhengnan caught the apple, watching Qin Yi disappear into the vortex, his face turning blue with anger.
"Qin Yi, I won't let you go." Lin Zhengnan raised his hand to throw the apple at the vortex, but he couldn't resist, biting into the other side of the apple with a crunch, "Damn, it's pretty sweet."
At this moment, Wang Zheng brought people rushing out from the inn, "City Lord, they originally planned to dig a tunnel to escape. We've surrounded them, but Mo Wuji and the others were sucked away by a suddenly appearing vortex."
"I know, Qin Yi got sucked away too. That little fox, I guess he was teleported to the outside world." Lin Zhengnan said angrily.
Lin Zhengnan took the apple in his hand like it was Qin Yi, biting down hard.
Wang Zheng and others looked dumbfounded, really eating it?
"City Lord, what should we do now?" Wang Zheng asked.
"What else can we do? They're gone, let's head back."
"What about the Earth Spirit Stones?"
"They're gone, who cares about Earth Spirit Stones? Go back, rest for a night, tomorrow head to Ghost Valley, start mining the Earth Spirit Stone veins. A thousand Earth Spirit Stones are just gone, how many bowls of bean curd should I sell to earn that back?" Lin Zhengnan's eyes were teary, feeling aggrieved enough to cry.
