The Divine Nine-Dragon Cauldron

2526 Chapter 2417, snatching the evil spring (2nd watch)

“Are the imperial guards crazy? Why did they suddenly come to arrest us?”Ji Xuanling had a look of lingering fear on her face.

Fortunately, Xiang Wan informed them in time and they left first.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Jiang Xuanzhong pondered for a while. “It should be a wanted target staying in our inn. The target should not be us.”

His words were agreed by everyone,

after all, their identities were clean and they came from a small sect far away.

They had nothing to do with the South Ming City Guards.

Only Su Yu touched his nose without batting an eyelid. He felt a little guilty and thought to himself, “Could it be that I kicked that messenger woman and caused trouble?”

That blonde and beautiful girl was obviously not simple.

However, he obviously would not say it out loud. He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, “Yes, eldest senior brother is right. I wonder which bastard attracted the imperial guards.”

HMM?

Jiang Xuanzhong looked at Su Yu in surprise. Why did he feel that Su Yu’s attitude was strange?

“Eldest senior brother, what should we do now?”Ji Xuanling asked.

Should they continue to take the risk and deposit the time crystal in the bank, or should they just go back?

“Let’s wait and see. We’ll talk about it when the wind is calm,”Jiang Xuanzhong said.

Just like that, the group of people quietly hid themselves.

After a few days without any movement, they finally felt relieved.

“I’ll go and deposit the time crystal. You guys get ready and set off,”Jiang Xuanzhong stood up and said.

However, at this moment, they heard a surprised cheer outside their hidden residence.

“Empress Starry Rain has shown mercy and agreed to sell the evil spring again. Today is the day. Go and Rob It!”

Someone raised his arm and cheered, causing an uproar.

Jiang Xuanzhong was stunned, and the veins on his forehead popped up.

He clenched his fist and said angrily, “What the hell is that Empress Starry Rain Doing?”

The other inner disciples also had ugly expressions on their faces.

They canceled the sale first, causing them to sell the nine nether crystals at a low price.

In the end, when they finished selling and were ready to leave, that Queen started selling again!

It was to the extent that Jiang Xuanzhong could not help but curse.

Actually, he was not the only one who cursed.

Almost everyone who sold the nine nether crystals were cursing.

They had been scammed too badly!

Now, with the time crystal in their hands, they could only buy back one-third of the original Netherworld Crystal.

It was even more difficult for them, who were already stretched thin to begin with.

“That Empress Starry Rain did it on purpose, right?”Finally, quick-witted Xuan came to his senses.

First, she deliberately created chaos so that they could sell the Netherworld Crystal to the Empress’Exchange Hall at a low price.

Then, they gave them hope. This way, they could buy the crystals of the Netherworld back at an expensive price.

After going back and forth, Empress Starry Rain earned a huge profit!

“As the empress, she even plundered our people’s wealth! She’s Too Evil!”Huo lixin ground his teeth.

Su Yu, on the other hand, had a glint in his eyes.

He had long felt that Empress Starry Rain’s decision was too hasty, like a child’s play.

So there was another story behind it.

That empress was indeed a black-hearted person.

“What do we do now? Exchange for the Netherworld Crystal Again?”Ji Xuanling had the urge to cry.

They had traveled thousands of miles to come here, but they were played in the palm of someone else’s hand. They were really unwilling to accept this.

“Do we go back empty-handed to give our orders?”Jiang Xuan clenched his teeth. “We know it’s a trap, but we can only jump in!”

He went to the Exchange Hall alone to exchange for the nine nether crystals again.

However, the exchange ratio made Jiang Xuanzhong almost vomit blood.

At this moment, the exchange ratio had reached 1:50!

In other words, only 50 time crystals could be exchanged for 1 catty of eighth grade nine nether crystals!

As a result, the amount of nine nether crystals that he could exchange for was less than 500,000 catties.

In just a few days, the amount of nether crystals in their hands had shrunk by eight times!

In the Exchange Hall, Jiang Xuanzhong saw many people who had been scammed like him.

However, they were all like him, forcing themselves to exchange.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xuanzhong was in a good mood.

With so many people scammed, it meant that everyone’s nether crystals had shrunk.

They might be able to buy the evil spring.

After coming back, Jiang Xuanzhong invited the other three inner sect disciples as well as the leader of the Golden Armor clan to go.

“As for you guys, wait here for the time being.”Jiang Xuanzhong looked at Su Yu meaningfully.

Although Su Yu had shown extraordinary abilities, Su Yu would not be of any use in buying the evil spring.

If danger came, they could let Su Yu and that Yu Xiang Wan stay behind to buy time for them.

After they left.

Yu Xiang Wan, who was lying on the haystack, turned around and sat up. There was a cold glint in her eyes. “HMPH! Brother Su really guessed it right. These guys have no intention of sharing the evil spring with us!”

They were not even allowed to participate in the purchasing process, let alone the final distribution of the evil spring?

Su Yu was not surprised at all. “Are You Ready?”

“Hehe!”Yu Xiang Wan took out a set of black robes that she had prepared earlier and put them on.

Even with Su Yu’s clairvoyance, he was unable to see Yu Xiang Wan underneath the black robes.

Su Yu smiled and put on a disguise as well.

“Seems like brother Su Yu is going to do something very interesting! I’ll add one as well.”Xie Xiaoyue wiped her face with her small palm, and her beautiful face immediately changed into the usual appearance of the former leader of Xiaoyue.

After the three of them disguised themselves, they could go to the evil spring auction venue.

That place was located in the square in front of the Empress Palace.

A nine-colored fountain the size of a copper coin was bubbling out from the crack in the middle of the square.

That was the evil spring that was famous in the south!

As long as one swallowed it, one’s domain would be upgraded!

Around the evil spring, there were ten white-robed elders standing around.

Each of them had an unfathomable level of cultivation!

At a glance, Su Yu felt as if he was peering into an abyss, suffocating everyone.

“It should be the underground sect leader,”murmured Yu Xiang Wan with a much more serious expression.

With so many strong people guarding the place, even if the Devil sect were to go all out, they would not dare to come and snatch it, right?

Moreover, there was an even more powerful presence guarding the Queen’s Palace.

If the Devil sect dared to come, they would definitely die.

When the people in the square had reached the limit of their capacity, a beautiful woman dressed in men’s clothing walked out with her hands behind her back.

She was about one to two hundred years old, but her cultivation had reached the shocking late-stage of the Nirvana Stage!

“I am the eighth maidservant under Empress Starry Rain, Xiao Yu. I am here under Empress Starry Rain’s orders to sell the evil spring.”

The young lady named Xiao Yu had a pair of bright eyes.

With a wave of her hand, all the water in the evil spring was drawn up and swirled in front of her.

Under her fingers, the evil spring turned into five portions.

Each portion had a hundred drops.

“The evil spring, a hundred drops is a portion. Each portion is only enough for one person to use,”Xiao Yu said truthfully.

Before everyone came, they only knew that the evil spring could raise one’s domain.

However, they did not know how many evil springs would be enough.

Now that they knew that one portion was only enough for one person to use, everyone’s heart sank.

There were only five portions, and one portion was only enough for one person to use.

How intense would the competition be?

Many people who did not have many crystals of the netherworld sighed deeply.

That was because they knew that they would not stand a chance.

Su Yu and Yu Xiang Wan also looked gloomy.
