Chapter 2264 - 2223: Mess With Wang Xiaoqiang, No Negotiation—He Dies

"Father, if you don't agree, your child will be dead. Young Master Wang said to exchange our Five Elements Sect's alchemy technique and the Decline Realm of Heavenly Beings spell for my life..." Jiangh Hongtao said urgently. He had just witnessed Wang Xiaoqiang's ruthless side; the decisive killing made his heart shiver. Now he's like a drowning man clutching at a straw, and if that straw breaks, he's completely doomed.

"Useless thing," Jiangh Zifang roared angrily, hating iron for not turning into steel. "Let Wang Xiaoqiang talk to me."

Upon hearing this, Jiangh Hongtao quickly handed the communication talisman to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Young Master Wang, my father wants to speak with you."

Wang Xiaoqiang took the communication talisman, and his image appeared on Jiangh Zifang's talisman. Seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang had taken the talisman, Jiangh Zifang knew there was room for negotiation, so he hurriedly spoke first, "Little Qiang, please don't kill Hongtao for Ranran's sake. After all, Hongtao is Ranran's brother. If you kill him, Ranran will be heartbroken. She's carrying your child now; you wouldn't want her to suffer a miscarriage, would you?"

Wang Xiaoqiang sneered playfully, saying, "Jiangh Zifang, now you're playing the family card with me, huh? Why didn't you do that earlier? You tried to kill me, even sent your son to murder me. Why didn't you talk about family back then?"

"Little Qiang, I'm sorry, I was wrong..." Jiangh Zifang finally admitted his mistake. He had always loved face more than life itself and had never bowed his head to admit fault before. It was the first time in his life, so his voice was tinged with humiliation,

"Now you know you're wrong," Wang Xiaoqiang coldly laughed, "Could you please use your brain? You couldn't even kill me, yet you sent your useless son? And now you're playing the family card with me, do you think I'll believe you?"

Jiangh Zifang said, "Wang Xiaoqiang, the conditions you want—I really can't agree to them. If I hand over the alchemy technique, it would be like offering the Five Elements Sect on a plate. Even if I agree, others won't. You know the Five Elements Sect isn't run by me alone; there's the Elder Council..."

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Then there's nothing to talk about."

Jiangh Zifang said, "It's really not possible; I can only agree to give you a few spell techniques from the Decline Realm of Heavenly Beings..."

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Then how about this: I won't take the alchemy techniques from the Five Elements Sect, but none of the spell techniques from the Decline Realm of Heavenly Beings can be missing. Also, I want Ranran. She's carrying my child, and I don't want anything to happen to her..."

"Fine, anyway, she's already yours, and naturally, you'll be in charge from now on." Jiangh Zifang said.

"Alright, I also want twenty Spirit Chickens to nourish Ranran's body." Wang Xiaoqiang took the opportunity to extort.

"I'll try, but Master Lingzhi doesn't have many Spirit Chickens left, and that miser may not give them..." Jiangh Zifang said.

"Hmm," Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Tomorrow night at the midnight hour, have Ranran's mother bring the cultivation technique manual and send Ranran to the Corpse Yin Mountain Range. Remember, only she is allowed to escort her..."

"The Corpse Yin Mountain Range? Center... Wang Xiaoqiang, was it you who kidnapped Ranran last time?" Jiangh Zifang recalled last time, when Wang Xiaoqiang disguised as a kidnapper, extorted twenty Spirit Chickens from Jiangh Zifang, and made him send the chickens to the center of the Corpse Yin Mountain Range. Now, thinking of this location brought back memories of that matter, filling his heart with rage.

"If you say so, then yes," Wang Xiaoqiang said, "If you can't fulfill the promise by the midnight hour tomorrow, I'll kill the hostage."

After coldly saying this, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't bother to say more and directly cut off the communication on the talisman.

Jiangh Hongtao secretly let out a sigh of relief, quietly praying that nothing would go wrong tomorrow, or his life would be at risk.

Currently, Wang Xiaoqiang had collected three Dead Spirit Puppets, then, along with Little Zhang, escorted Jiangh Hongtao, riding the Patterned Beast back to Nanyang City, stayed there for a night, and returned to the Corpse Yin Mountain Range at the midnight hour the following night.

Upon entering the Corpse Yin Mountain Range's center, they saw two figures flying from the distant sky; Wang Xiaoqiang opened his Heavenly Eye, confirming it was Lin Mengchu and Jiangh Churan.

Lin Mengchu only has the cultivation base of the Three Souls of Heavenly Beings and is no match for Wang Xiaoqiang. He needn't worry and directly flew over with Jiangh Hongtao,

Both parties met in the starry sky, and Jiangh Hongtao, being cowardly, shouted, "Mother, you're finally here, save me."

Lin Mengchu Divine Sense scanned her son, ensuring he wasn't injured, she secretly let out a sigh of relief, and said to Jiangh Churan, "Be good, go ahead, and take good care of yourself from now on."

Jiangh Churan felt somewhat reluctant, but still flew towards Wang Xiaoqiang. Wang Xiaoqiang released Jiangh Hongtao and said, "Get lost."

Jiangh Hongtao flew to his mother's side, finally feeling secure.

"Where are the spell technique manual and twenty Spirit Chickens?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked.

Lin Mengchu's expression changed, and she coldly said, "Wang Xiaoqiang, what if I change my mind and refuse to give them?"

Wang Xiaoqiang disdainfully sneered, saying, "Do you think you can escape?"

Lin Mengchu's face turned icy, her eyes resolute, and she said, "What if I really want to try?"

"If you don't value the lives of you and your son, go ahead and try." Wang Xiaoqiang playfully smiled, looking at Lin Mengchu like he was staring at an ant.

Lin Mengchu's face changed unpredictably, hesitating.

She had brought the spell technique manuals and twenty Spirit Chickens, but she truly didn't want to give them to Wang Xiaoqiang.

As she hesitated, Jiang Churan and Jiangh Hongtao simultaneously shouted, "Mother, don't, don't try."

The siblings vigorously shook their heads, strongly resisting their mother doing so because they had both witnessed Wang Xiaoqiang's strength and knew escaping from him was nearly impossible.

"Sigh, did our Jiangh Family owe you in a past life," Lin Mengchu sighed softly, then removed a storage ring and tossed it to Wang Xiaoqiang,

Wang Xiaoqiang casually caught it, and with a quick Divine Sense scan, saw three spell technique manuals and twenty Spirit Chickens inside. Then he wrapped his arm around Jiang Churan's slender waist, gave Lin Mengchu a playful smile, and said, "Mother-in-law, what do you mean by that? We're relatives now, what's there to talk about owing or not?"

"To speak of owing, it's Ranran who owes me a life, and your son owes me one too. If I hadn't had compassion in the Five Elements Mountain Range and saved Ranran, she would've been long dead. If I were heartless last night, your son wouldn't have survived either. Yet now you're saying I owe you? Ridiculous."

"Alright, Wang Xiaoqiang, let's say our Jiangh Family owes you. I hope you treat Ranran well in the future," Lin Mengchu said, casting a worried glance at her daughter,

"Rest assured, once the child is born, I'll bring the mother and child to visit you. Remember to prepare food and drink to welcome us. Oh, and remind Master Lingzhi to take good care of those Spirit Chickens, they're valuable..."

Hearing this, Lin Mengchu smiled bitterly, saying, "Wang Xiaoqiang, you rascal, how many of Master Lingzhi's Spirit Chickens have you stolen..."

"I not only stole his Spirit Chickens but also killed his nephew. Hehe..." Wang Xiaoqiang laughed smugly. He now had the strength and confidence to reveal the truth,

"Ah, Xue Xiaogui was killed by you?" Lin Mengchu, Jiangh Hongtao, and even Jiang Churan exclaimed in unison, then stared at Wang Xiaoqiang in shock.

"That's right, I killed him, but he was the one who provoked me first," Wang Xiaoqiang snorted coldly, full of arrogance. "Provoking me, Wang Xiaoqiang, there's no room for negotiation about killing him, humph."
