Sour Pickled Peanuts

Chapter 742 Luring the Tiger into the Enclosure, Capturing the Turtle in the Urn

Once Qin Hanchu left their sight, it would be difficult to find him again.

It was precisely for this reason that they had rushed out to chase him.

"You've even accounted for my retreat, so it seems I can't leave easily?" Qin Hanchu chuckled lightly.

"Selling the Heavenly Fire Liquid to us is your best option. Not only can you save your life, but you'll also earn a fortune in spirit crystals," the Chimo Sect Master threatened coldly.

The Donghuang Sect Master also spoke, "My Donghuang Sect can give you an IOU for twenty-five million, and we'll give you ninety-two million spirit crystals right now."

"Enough, stop talking nonsense."

"Whoever wants the Heavenly Fire Liquid can just come and take it."

"Whoever can snatch it, gets it!"

Qin Hanchu paid them no mind. He would eliminate anyone who dared to make a move.

"Then please excuse us!"

Just as the Chimo Sect Master was preparing to act, a group of people appeared in the air.

"Lord of Samsara Star!"

Seeing the Lord of Samsara Star arrive with his entourage, the powerhouses of the two sects wore grim expressions.

This was the sacred city of Samsara Star, and the Lord of Samsara Star would never allow these two sects to cause trouble within its walls.

If they were allowed to rob Qin Hanchu here, who would dare to trade in the cities of Samsara Star in the future?

"You can cause trouble outside the city as you please, but within the cities of Samsara Star, you'd best abide by my rules."

The Lord of Samsara Star's tone was extremely serious. If these two sects dared to make a move here, he would absolutely not stand by and do nothing.

"Your Lordship jokes. We were merely discussing a transaction with this fellow Daoist."

Although the Donghuang Sect Master had brought several celestial beings, this was, after all, Samsara Star.

As long as the Lord of Samsara Star spoke, the celestial beings from the Six Great Families and the Star Lord's Mansion would obey his commands.

Even if the Donghuang Sect and the Chimo Sect joined forces, they would not be a match for the Lord of Samsara Star.

"You dare not make a move?"

"Since that's the case, I'll be leaving."

Qin Hanchu chuckled lightly and then strode forward.

"Fellow Daoist, are you interested in visiting my Star Lord's Mansion as a guest?"

Seeing Qin Hanchu about to leave, the Lord of Samsara Star suddenly asked.

"Not interested. I'm leaving now."

Qin Hanchu was well aware of the Lord of Samsara Star's intentions.

His appearance was not to rescue Qin Hanchu, but because he intended to keep Qin Hanchu in the sacred city.

The Lord of Samsara Star's strength was far from that of ancient celestial beings. He might also be coveting the Heavenly Fire Liquid.

"Sect Masters, if there's nothing else, please leave quickly."

The Lord of Samsara Star signaled his subordinates, and then turned to leave.

"Lord of Samsara Star, don't be in such a hurry!" The Donghuang Sect Master suddenly blocked the Lord of Samsara Star's path and questioned him coldly, "Are you planning to return to cultivate, or are you planning to seize the Heavenly Fire Liquid?"

"As the master of Samsara Star, how could I rob my guest?" the Lord of Samsara Star replied indignantly.

"Is that so? Then stay and chat for a while." The Chimo Sect Master also stepped forward.

"Since you two wish to chat, how about coming to my Star Lord's Mansion for a drink?"

While the Lord of Samsara Star was speaking, one of his subordinates had already moved to pursue Qin Hanchu's departing direction.

The other two sect masters noticed this and quickly transmitted a message to their own people to follow.

Whoosh!

At this moment, Qin Hanchu suddenly transformed into a streak of lightning, soaring towards the sky.

"He's going to leave Samsara Star!"

"Chase!"

The powerhouses of the two sects no longer bothered with the Lord of Samsara Star. They quickly transformed into streams of light and pursued Qin Hanchu.

"These are all fat sheep. Killing them will allow me to recoup my losses."

Although Qin Hanchu's spirit crystals were all plundered, he felt the sting of having spent so many.

Since these celestial beings wanted to kill him, he would gain something from them.

The auction only accepted "cash," so those who attended the auction must be wealthy.

Especially the Donghuang Sect Master and the Chimo Sect Master; the two of them carried at least one hundred and eighty million spirit crystals.

If he could kill both of them, Qin Hanchu's expenses would be reimbursed.

Qin Hanchu flew ahead, with more than twenty celestial beings hot on his heels.

Even the Lord of Samsara Star was pursuing him with his subordinates.

Of course, the Lord of Samsara Star still had his reputation to consider.

As the master of Samsara Star, he naturally could not openly rob someone.

He was now using a special mask to conceal his appearance.

Besides him, there were four other celestial beings with concealed appearances; they were all from the Star Lord's Mansion.

"Wealth should not be flaunted. To dare to seize the Heavenly Fire Liquid alone is truly seeking death."

"With so many celestial beings chasing him, he definitely won't survive."

"Even if he has helpers outside Samsara Star, it will be difficult to protect the Heavenly Fire Liquid."

"Let's follow and see. Perhaps there's a chance to snatch the Heavenly Fire Liquid."

Boom...

In the starry sky, a colossal stone archway suddenly rippled.

Qin Hanchu, like a fighter jet, flew into the distance carrying a terrifying airflow.

Whoosh, whoosh...

As soon as Qin Hanchu broke free, the more than twenty celestial beings pursued him at full speed.

In the starry sky dotted with countless stars, Qin Hanchu and the others were like shooting stars, streaking across the heavens.

"Get further away from Samsara Star, and then I'll have some fun with these guys!"

With this thought, Qin Hanchu's speed increased.

"You can't escape. As long as you agree to my terms, my Chimo Sect can help you fend off these pursuers."

As Qin Hanchu flew at high speed, a telepathic message from the Chimo Sect Master entered his mind.

This fellow was quite shrewd, attempting to force Qin Hanchu to abandon the Heavenly Fire Liquid by exploiting his current predicament.

Qin Hanchu ignored the Chimo Sect Master and continued on his way.

Unknowingly, Qin Hanchu had fled for ten days.

After ten days of pursuit, the distance between the two parties was closing.

Even though the distance had shortened, it would still take at least another five days to catch up to Qin Hanchu.

But at this moment, Qin Hanchu suddenly stopped his escape.

Seeing Qin Hanchu stop, the pursuing celestial beings were somewhat bewildered.

Did he know he couldn't escape, so he stopped running?

A few minutes later, more than twenty celestial beings surrounded Qin Hanchu.

The Chimo Sect Master surveyed the surroundings and said, "My terms remain unchanged. As long as you agree, the Chimo Sect will surely ensure your safety."

"You should choose your collaborators carefully. Our Donghuang Sect's terms are even better than the Chimo Sect's."

"As long as you are willing, our Donghuang Sect can even make you an elder."

As he spoke, the Donghuang Sect Master took out a top-tier celestial artifact.

"Kill!" The Lord of Samsara Star gave the order, and he led his subordinates to attack Qin Hanchu.

Seeing the Lord of Samsara Star make a move, the other celestial powerhouses surged towards Qin Hanchu.

"If you want to capture me, follow me in!"

As he spoke, a portal appeared behind Qin Hanchu.

The tactic of "luring the tiger into the mountain and capturing it in the urn" was something Qin Hanchu had mastered to perfection.

Qin Hanchu possessed the Heavenly Fire Liquid, a treasure they all yearned for.

Seeing Qin Hanchu enter the portal, the surrounding celestial beings hurriedly tried to prevent the portal from closing.

In their eyes, Qin Hanchu was alone. Even if the other side of this portal led to another world, they were not afraid.
