Chapter 2960: Forced Buying, Forced Selling?

Whizz! Whizz! Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!

...

The entire shop was filled with sword aura, which only subsided after a while.

And all this originated from the partially opened sword-shaped raw stone in Wyatt Barnes’ hand, which was emitting a dazzling mysterious light.

However, the mysterious light on the sword-shaped raw stone, like the sword aura it emitted before, gradually converged until it completely disappeared.

Yet, even so, its extraordinariness had already been fully proven by the commotion just now.

At this moment, even the King Grade Immortal Sword that the Junior City Lord of Covered Sword City, Nathaniel Hanson, revealed was overshadowed by the commotion caused by this half-opened sword-shaped raw stone!

Among the people in the shop, besides Wyatt Barnes, who was the first to recover, his pupils contracted, and he showed a look of shock.

The others couldn’t regain their senses for a long time.

The reason Wyatt Barnes was able to recover so quickly was that the aura emanating from the half-opened raw stone in his hand was exactly the same as the feeling given by the three Emperor Grade Immortal Artifacts he held.

He had three Emperor Grade Immortal Artifacts in his hand.

One was a consumable Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact, and the other two were ordinary Emperor Grade Immortal Artifacts.

However, those two ordinary Emperor Grade Immortal Artifacts were not his; they were temporarily in his possession and originally belonged to a mysterious young man with the surname Pei, specifically the ’Mystic Yin Nine Petal Ring’ and ’Mystic Yang Nine Petal Ring’.

And that consumable Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact was obtained by him at the Pill Tao conference in the southeastern six regions of the borderland.

As of now, that consumable Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact had been used once, with only two uses remaining.

After two more uses, that consumable Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact would become completely useless!

This is the mission of a consumable Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact.

"Such a commotion... Could this... could this be an Emperor Grade Immortal Sword?"

After Wyatt Barnes, Emanuel Yellow finally came to his senses and looked again at the half-opened sword-shaped raw stone in Wyatt Barnes’ hand, with a look of shock and disbelief.

Now, besides the half-revealed sword-shaped raw stone in Wyatt Barnes’ hand, a sword hilt and a small part of the sword body were also revealed.

This was a fully jade green sword, appearing as if made from Jadey Inky, carved with countless fine patterns, along with some twisted characters, giving an ancient and worn feeling.

Additionally, down the center of the sword body, there was a blood-red line, constantly pulsing, as if blood constantly flowed along it.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

...

At the same time, Wyatt Barnes raised his hand, grasping the hilt, and after exerting force, the raw stone on the sword body shattered and crumbled in its entirety.

A moment later, a fully jade green sword, with a line of blood running down its center, appeared clearly before everyone’s eyes.

Now, the mysterious light on this sword was fully restrained, giving a back-to-basics feeling, but the scene just now, when the raw stone broke and its light shone brilliantly, was like a brand, deeply imprinted in the hearts of those present.

Moreover, if any Divine Sense approached this sword now, it could clearly perceive the extraordinariness of this sword, far beyond that of a King Grade Immortal Artifact.

"An Emperor Grade Immortal Sword! It’s an Emperor Grade Immortal Sword!"

"Oh my God... I never thought I would have the fortune of seeing an Emperor Grade Immortal Sword in my lifetime!"

"In our Singles Kingdom, the last appearance of an Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact was, I believe, thirteen hundred years ago?"

"An Emperor Grade Immortal Sword... It’s actually an Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact!"

...

Inside the shop, everyone, including a group of sales clerks, came to their senses and each wore a look of incredulity.

And in that instant, Emanuel Yellow’s gaze swept across the people in the shop, and a flash of killing intent appeared.

Now, his mind was filled with only one thought.

And that was, to kill the other people in the shop, to prevent the news of the Emperor Grade Immortal Sword from getting out!

However, Emanuel Yellow’s reaction was ultimately too late.

The person in charge of the shop, a white-bearded old man, after coming to his senses for the first time, had already crushed a communication Immortal Talisman.

The communication Immortal Talisman he crushed utilized a soul imprint for communication, it was absolutely unstoppable.

"Esteemed guest."

At this time, having crushed the communication Immortal Talisman, the white-bearded old man emerged from the innermost part of the shop, his gaze falling on Emanuel Yellow.

Clearly, he saw everything that had happened just now and knew that the Emperor Grade Immortal Sword belonged to Emanuel Yellow.

"Our shop is willing to offer you ten million top-grade Immortal Crystals for this sword."

The white-bearded old man said.

"Ten million top-grade Immortal Crystals?"

Upon hearing the white-bearded old man’s words, the people inside the shop felt as though they were looking at a fool, thinking this old man was delusional.

What a joke!

This is a complete Emperor Grade Immortal Sword!

Ten million top-grade Immortal Crystals, is he dreaming?

"Ten million top-grade Immortal Crystals?"

After hearing the white-bearded old man’s words, Emanuel Yellow was initially stunned, then he laughed, "Old man, do you take me for a greenhorn?"

"Not to mention that Emperor Grade Immortal Artifacts are things that are valuable but rarely seen... even the lowest marked price for Emperor Grade Immortal Artifacts within the Mystic Abyss Mansion territory—if I recall correctly, seems to be ten billion Top-grade Immortal Crystals, right?"

Saying this, Emanuel Yellow’s face was full of mockery, "This is the lowest market price... And not to mention Emperor Grade Immortal Artifacts are valuable and rare, even if someone really wants to buy one, a mere ten billion Top-grade Immortal Crystals wouldn’t necessarily make someone sell it!"

In the South Heaven’s Borderlands, there was never any mention of someone buying or selling Emperor Grade Immortal Artifacts, although they are priced, it’s merely hearsay.

Precisely ten thousand times the price of a King Grade Immortal Artifact!

And the price of a King Grade Immortal Artifact is exactly ten thousand times that of a Monarch Grade Immortal Artifact!

"Exactly! Do they really think people are that clueless?"

"From what I know, this shop seems to be a business under the Ninth Prince of our Singles Kingdom’s royal family... The Ninth Prince is also the most business-savvy among the emperor’s children in Singles Kingdom!"

"It seems the manager of this shop under the Ninth Prince’s command, seeing these two young men uncovering an Emperor Grade Immortal Sword from raw stone, plans to buy it forcefully."

"If the Ninth Prince really insists on this... These two young men probably won’t be able to keep this Emperor Grade Immortal Sword. After all, behind the Ninth Prince stands His Majesty of Singles Kingdom!"

"An ordinary man is innocent, but when he possesses treasure, he invites trouble!"

...

Within the shop, the remaining guests again looked at Wyatt Barnes and Emanuel Yellow, shaking their heads one after another.

In their exchanges, it was evident that they all believed Wyatt Barnes and Emanuel Yellow wouldn’t be able to keep the Emperor Grade Immortal Sword and were destined to sell it for a low price!

And at this moment.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

...

As a series of heavy footsteps approached, a tall middle-aged man in a white robe stepped into the shop.

"Dear guest, the shop is closing today... so please visit other shops in West Market."

The white-bearded old man, seeing yet another person entering, frowned while glaring at a few guides off to the side, scolding, "Why haven’t you escorted the guest out?"

"And close the shop doors... Today, we are not putting out business!"

Regarding Emperor Grade Immortal Artifacts, the fewer people who know, the better.

Just earlier, he received a message from this shop’s behind-the-scenes owner, the Ninth Prince from Singles Kingdom’s royal family.

The Ninth Prince instructed him to stabilize everyone, shut the shop, and turn away guests.

As for those inside the shop, don’t let them leave; wait until he arrives and then decides what to do.

Currently, the Ninth Prince is hurriedly leaving the palace, rushing toward here.

The white-bearded old man was the shop manager, and upon his command, those guides dared not disobey and immediately approached the white-robed middle-aged man to escort him out.

"Hmph!"

However, before they could get close, they heard the white-robed middle-aged man snort coldly.

Almost as his voice faded, those guides rushing toward him encountered an invisible wall, stopping them abruptly.

The next instant, their bodies flew backward like arrows, crashing heavily onto the distant ground, looking quite pathetic.

"Gasp—"

Witnessing this scene, the people inside the shop couldn’t help but gasp, realizing the newcomer was not friendly.

"Do you know who is behind our shop?"

The white-bearded old man eyed the newcomer sternly, speaking in a low tone.

Though he was the strongest in the shop physically, he wasn’t able to see how the person in front took action.

So, he dared not act recklessly, relying instead on the name value of those behind him to scare away the person in front.

"Wyatt, show me the sword in your hand."

But the white-robed middle-aged man completely ignored the white-bearded old man, walking straight to Wyatt Barnes and smiling at him.

"Uncle Buckingham."

Upon hearing this, Wyatt Barnes immediately handed the sword to the newcomer.

The person coming over wasn’t anyone else but ’Greene Buckingham’, who had been secretly protecting him and Emanuel Yellow!

If the average person handed over an Emperor Grade Immortal Sword, even if it’s not theirs, they would surely feel some attachment.

Yet, Wyatt Barnes didn’t have any such feelings at all.

Not only did he have three Emperor Grade Immortal Artifacts in his Storage Ring, but back when he hadn’t yet ascended to this Heavenly Plane, when he was in the secular realm, he already possessed a sword of the same grade as this one.

That sword was precisely the ’Splendid Fairy Sword’ within the Seven Treasures Jewel Tower.

After arriving at the Heavenly Plane, Wyatt Barnes discovered not just that the Seven Treasures Jewel Tower was an Imperial Grade Immortal Artifact, but also that the Splendid Fairy Sword was an Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact.

"However, although this sword is an Emperor Grade Immortal Sword, compared to the Splendid Fairy Sword, it seems... somewhat inferior. Even compared to the Mystic Nine Rings and Radiant Nine Rings, it falls short significantly."

After handing the sword to Greene Buckingham and watching him flipping it over and over, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but think this inwardly.

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes didn’t know:

An esteemed Emperor Grade Immortal Sword inside a top-tier immortal artifact like the Seven Treasures Jewel Tower couldn’t be just any ordinary Emperor Grade Immortal Sword but certainly one of the finest!

As for the Mystic Nine Rings and Radiant Nine Rings, they were also among the finest Emperor Grade Immortal Artifacts.
