Chapter 2454: Chapter 2457: Snatching People
After waiting for a while, Yun Hai slightly raised his brow, a look of puzzlement in his eyes.
Jiang Chen had not made any further moves after sprinkling a dozen Spirit Stones.
Yun Hai spoke with a hint of curiosity, "Brother Jiang, continue setting up the Formation."
"The Formation is already set. The attack formations I use are generally one-time-use, and setting up a large Formation would waste a lot of Spirit Stones. This Formation is a simplified version of one I practice, with seventy percent less power than the full Formation. Brother Yun can experience it for yourself."
Jiang Chen said with a light smile.
"It’s done?! Laying down Formation!?"
Yun Tao exclaimed, a look of shock appearing in his eyes.
"Laying down Formation?! That kid’s proficiency in Formation is incredibly high!"
"Hurry, let’s go back and report!"
"Go, go, go!"
The other guests in the pavilion quickly and hurriedly left the building.
Yun Hai glanced at them, then looked back at Jiang Chen with a hint of displeasure. In his view, Jiang Chen was showing off deliberately to raise his worth, definitely leading other factions to offer higher prices for cooperation.
"Brother Jiang, your Formation’s power is indeed lacking. It’s already set up, and nothing’s happened to me standing here."
Yun Hai’s dissatisfaction was evident on his face.
"Yun Hai, don’t be ignorant. Maximize your defense."
Yun Cheng glared at Yun Hai, softly reminding him.
Yun Hai was taken aback, doubt flashing in his eyes, but he still began setting up his defense as instructed.
Buzz!
A formidable aura emanated, as Yun Hai first arranged a layer of Spiritual Power Shield on his surface, then a dazzling Flame Divine Light emerged from within him, enshrouding him.
"Alright, let’s begin!"
Yun Hai looked up at Jiang Chen.
"Brother Yun, please take one step forward, but be cautious."
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Surprised, Yun Hai lifted his foot and took a step.
Whoosh!
A brilliant golden light flared, enveloping Yun Hai. A radiant sword of light appeared above his head, striking down fiercely.
Detecting the imposing Sword Intent, Yun Hai’s expression changed, hastily channeling his Spiritual Power and Power of the Great Dao to enhance his defenses.
Bam!
With a loud blast, the flames on Yun Hai’s surface were dispersed by the light sword. The sword then struck the Spiritual Power Shield, causing it to tremble violently before the sword dissipated into a stream of golden glow.
Whoomp!
The Spirit Stones around Yun Hai crumbled into powder, fluttering down.
"Such a powerful Formation, is this really just thirty percent of the full Formation’s power?"
Yun Hai’s face went slightly pale, controlling his chaotic spiritual energy, he looked at Jiang Chen in astonishment.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "Whether it is or isn’t, it will be evident once we reach the Dead Spirit Gathering Point. If the Formation I set up isn’t powerful enough to slay the Necro Spirit, and instead attracts a large group, I’ll be the one in trouble."
Yun Hai nodded, somewhat convinced, and after pondering for a while, softly said, "Only I’m here from the family. If Brother Jiang doesn’t mind, I’d like to bring along two friends from Wind Thunder Valley, is that okay?"
"Of course, but to be honest, I’m partnering with you because of your Yun Family, not Wind Thunder Valley. So, I’m not responsible for the share of the two of them."
Jiang Chen nodded and softly reminded.
"Brother Jiang means..."
Yun Hai showed a look of confusion.
"All the acquired Necro Spheres, we four will split according to our needs. As for how you divide with your two friends, that’s up to you. We three must get our rightful seventy-five percent share!"
Jiang Chen softly explained.
"Seventy-five percent..."
Yun Hai pondered briefly, then gently nodded, "This share is acceptable. Without mentioning anything else, you alone are worth seventy to eighty percent."
"Exactly!"
Suddenly, a loud voice rang out, a robust middle-aged man entered from the doorway, his physique even more imposing than Yan Hu and Jin Hu.
"Lei Xiong?"
Yun Hai frowned slightly, stepping sideways to stand before Jiang Chen, looking coldly at Lei Xiong, "What are you doing here?"
"Greetings, Elder Yun."
Lei Xiong first gave a cupped fist salute to Yun Cheng, then looked at Yun Hai, "Our Lei Yang Village also wishes to cooperate with this brother, is that not allowed?"
"You..."
Anger surfaced in Yun Hai’s eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Brother Jiang has already agreed to work with us."
"This brother, our Lei Yang Village is willing to offer a two-to-eight share for your cooperation!"
Ignoring Yun Hai, Lei Xiong turned to Jiang Chen.
Yun Hai’s face changed, hastily saying, "We can also offer a two-to-eight ratio!"
"Then we’ll offer fifteen to eighty-five percent!"
Lei Xiong said, unyielding.
"Lei Xiong, you’re breaking the rules, the maximum share for inviting an Array Master is a two-to-eight ratio!"
Yun Hai shouted angrily.
"Of course, the Necro Spheres are two-to-eight, but we can offer Spirit Stones in exchange, nowhere is it stated that after the Array Master assists us, we can’t give him some thanks gifts, is it?"
Lei Xiong looked at Yun Hai with a playful expression.
"Lei Xiong, you’re grabbing our people in the auction house of Wind Thunder Valley, your Lei Yang Village is getting more and more audacious if you want to play, Wind Thunder Valley will oblige!"
An icy voice came, as a middle-aged man descended the stairs from the second floor.
The man, clad in blue, had a scar across his face, making his already cold and stern appearance even more menacing. He exuded a faint scent of blood, clearly having just engaged in conflict, his eyes like those of a venomous snake, fixated on Lei Xiong as he walked over.
Jiang Chen glanced at the man, narrowing his eyes slightly, recognizing him as the Integration Realm Peak expert he had sensed.
Yan Hu’s expression suddenly became vigilant, stepping sideways to stand between Jiang Chen and the man with the scar.
Lei Xiong’s eyes flashed with a cautious expression, his face turning somewhat grim as he said, "Yan Li, vying for an Array Master is a normal affair, don’t you..."
"Normal? Your Lei Yang Village has repeatedly snatched two Array Masters from our Wind Thunder Valley, is this normal? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to; you want to use the Array Master to secretly break into the Central Region Ruins’ Formation—keep dreaming!"
Yan Li coldly interrupted Lei Xiong.
"Yan Li, what we do is none of your business."
Lei Xiong’s face twitched, growling quietly as he turned to Jiang Chen, a threatening look in his eyes, "Kid, decide carefully whether to join our Lei Yang Village or Wind Thunder Valley. Here in the Abandoned Plains, the least valuable thing is human life!"
