Chapter 2263 - 2222: Wang Xiaoqiang's Terms

Sons like Jiangh Hongtao, usually being sect leader's sons, are selfish and fear death. For their own lives and destinies, they pay no mind to others' fates or public benefits. Upon hearing this, he said, "Young Hero Wang, whatever conditions you have, just state them. As long as the Five Elements Sect can provide them, we certainly will... but don't mention what the sect doesn't have..."

Wang Xiaoqiang heard this and said, "Uh, Jiangh Hongtao, let me ask you, what thing is most valuable in your Five Elements Sect?"

"Well, in our Five Elements Sect, there are indeed good things, such as gold, silver, and treasures, brocade and silk, pill spirit herbs..."

Before Jiangh Hongtao could finish, Wang Xiaoqiang interrupted sharply, "Less useless talk, be specific, what exactly is the best thing?"

Jiangh Hongtao shivered in fright and said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you... well, if we're talking about the best thing, it has to be our Five Elements Sect's alchemy. You must know that a sect's alchemy is not shared outside; it's private, the only one of its kind under heaven, so it is extremely precious. Of course, aside from the pill refining arts, the spells are quite formidable, like Hundred Miles to Death, Thousand-Mile Tracking, Thousand-Mile Soul Search..."

"Uh," upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang felt a stir in his heart and asked, "Then let me ask you, does your father have command over these spell techniques?"

"Soul and spirit related spell techniques are very hard to grasp, and the three spell techniques I mentioned can only be cultivated in the Decline Realm of Heavenly Beings. That is to say, these spells belong to the Decline Realm, and my father only has command over the Hundred Miles to Death..."

Jiangh Hongtao said, "It should be known that when employing Hundred Miles to Death, one must dispatch the divine sense a hundred miles away for a killing strike. This requires very strong divine sense and unremitting long-term concerted cultivation efforts to achieve..."

Wang Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes and asked again, "The spell techniques you mentioned — Hundred Miles Reaper, Thousand-Mile Tracking, Thousand-Mile Soul Search — are these spell techniques unique to your Five Elements Sect?"

"Of course not," Jiangh Hongtao said, "These spell techniques are generally possessed by sects of Fifth Level and above, though there aren't many Fifth-Level Sects."

"So, the alchemy is unique, the only one under heaven, while these powerful Decline Realm spell techniques are not unique,"

"Yes," Jiangh Hongtao said, "that's why I say that our Five Elements Sect's alchemy is the most precious, because it is one of a kind."

"If I asked your father to use your Five Elements Sect's alchemy and these powerful Decline Realm spell techniques to exchange for you, do you think your father would agree?" Wang Xiaoqiang scrutinized Jiangh Hongtao with a gaze, as if assessing a bargaining chip; weighing its value.

"Of course not." Jiangh Hongtao shook his head, "Those powerful spell techniques might be possible, as they aren't unique, even if leaked it would mean nothing much, but the alchemy can't be done. It is the foundation of the Five Elements Sect, the essence of a sect. If it is lost, the sect would rapidly decline..."

"So, you, Jiangh Hongtao, are not as valuable as a set of alchemy techniques," Wang Xiaoqiang coldly stared at Jiangh Hongtao, playfully smiling,

Feeling something amiss, Jiangh Hongtao panicked and said, "Young Hero Wang, actually, the alchemy techniques aren't much use to you unless you plan to establish your own sect..."

"What if I want to start my own sect..." Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"No, surely not, Young Hero Wang, you want to start a sect?" Jiangh Hongtao stammered, "You should know, creating a sect isn't an easy task..."

"It's not like I haven't created one before, do I need your reminder," Wang Xiaoqiang said disdainfully, "Alright, enough nonsense. Contact your father now, tell him you're in my hands, and if he wants to see his son again, he should exchange with the Five Elements Sect's alchemy and Decline Realm spells."

"This, this..." Jiangh Hongtao hesitated. He knew his father would not agree.

"Hurry up, or I'll have my Dead Spirit Puppet explode you from behind..." As Wang Xiaoqiang spoke, a Dead Spirit Puppet flew over, approaching Jiangh Hongtao, hugging him from behind. Jiangh Hongtao shivered in fear and screamed, "No, please, no..."

Saying this, he quickly took out a communication talisman from the storage ring to contact Jiangh Zifang. As soon as the communication talisman connected, Jiangh Zifang's voice came through, sounding gratified, "Taor, well done, achieved it so quickly..."

In his view, if his son Jiangh Hongtao landed in Wang Xiaoqiang's hands, it was surely because Wang Xiaoqiang had killed him. On the contrary, if Wang Xiaoqiang were killed by Jiangh Hongtao, he would first notify himself using a communication talisman, so upon receiving a message from his son, he assumed the mission succeeded, feeling quite gratified.

Unexpectedly, what followed was a cold bucket of water poured over his head, "Father, we failed, they're all dead, I, I am now captured..."

"What? How could that be?" Jiangh Zifang's voice was utterly shocked. The disciples he deployed were all direct and elite disciples, the pillars of the Five Elements Sect, with cultivation bases stronger than Wang Xiaoqiang's. Wang Xiaoqiang might be strong enough to handle one, or two, or even three, but could he be stronger than eighteen?

Evidently not possible.

But now, his son actually says all these disciples are dead!

Jiangh Zifang gasped, his heart sinking. He didn't believe it, didn't want to believe such a reality, "Taor, are you, are you joking with your father? Stop kidding."

"Father, at this late hour, do you think I feel like joking with you? They're all dead, killed, without even leaving their souls behind. If you do not save me soon, I'll be killed too." Jiangh Hongtao said with a crying voice.

Finally, Jiangh Zifang believed him, almost collapsing in a slump.

What caused him to slump wasn't that his direct and elite disciples were killed, but Wang Xiaoqiang's strength,

Wang Xiaoqiang was too strong, if he indeed killed eighteen disciples, then his power was enough to pose a threat to him. Moreover, he had offended Wang Xiaoqiang quite severely, and now his beloved son was in Wang Xiaoqiang's hands. Wang Xiaoqiang wasn't someone to be trifled with; he wouldn't let things go easily.

Sure enough, at this moment, Jiangh Hongtao's voice rang out again, almost pleading, "Father, you must save your son, if you don't save me, I'm finished."

"What conditions does Wang Xiaoqiang demand to release you?" Jiangh Zifang was perceptive, immediately thinking about the conditions,

Jiangh Hongtao, seeing his father raised the topic proactively, hurriedly said, "He, he wants our Five Elements Sect's alchemy and Decline Realm spells."

"What? Absolutely impossible," Jiangh Zifang resolutely said. As Jiangh Hongtao mentioned, that is the foundation of the Five Elements Sect. Especially that alchemy, it is the essence of the Five Elements Sect,

For example, when confronting foreign invasions, the Five Elements Sect would open the Pill Storage and take out unique pills. Healing pills, strengthening pills, at critical moments can be very useful, like military supplies in war, exceptionally precious, indispensable.

If the alchemy gets lost outside, the entire sect would collapse
