Free Web NovelChapter 550: Chapter 225: The Tigerman King’s Goodwill and 10 Elemental Masters
"Lord, I am willing to offer 50 million gold and 300,000 spirit-level stones to ransom Sona, Jones, and all my clan’s prisoners, as well as the bodies of fallen soldiers."
The King of the Sea Kingdom held deep hatred in his heart, but he could only raise the offer.
Sona was the Sea Kingdom’s first daughter of Heaven, possessing the qualities of a king in these turbulent times.
Yi Tian believed the SSS-level Deep Sea Stone Lotus was more important; in fact, in the eyes of the King of the Sea, Sona was even more important.
Of course, the King of the Sea hoped that the Deep Sea Stone Lotus was with Sona, hence the high price.
"It’s possible, but depends on your speed. I might change my mind any moment." After deep consideration, Yi Tian ultimately did not raise the price.
That would be too deliberate!
Altogether, he gained items worth one billion gold from the Sea Kingdom, which matched Yi Tian’s expectations perfectly.
Not to mention the unexpected acquisition of the Deep Sea Stone Lotus.
"Transaction in fifteen minutes!" immediately said the King of the Sea Kingdom.
Gold and spirit-level stones were strategic reserve materials stored in the national treasury of the palace, making them easy to trade.
"Alright!" Yi Tian did not say much more.
He instructed Xin Qiji to gather the Sea Kingdom prisoners.
Meanwhile, Yi Tian personally went to the Celestial Prison to retrieve Sona and Jones.
"Princess, you..."
Jones saw Sona disheveled and thought Yi Tian had...
"The Deep Sea Stone Lotus was snatched away!"
Sona gritted her teeth at the person behind.
"Ah... This demon lord must be using this to blackmail our Sea Kingdom." Jones was shocked because he thought the demon lord hadn’t discovered the Deep Sea Stone Lotus and it could be taken away unnoticed.
"What should we do now!" Jones’s crystal ball had also been taken by the demon lord.
"If not for the numerous warriors of the Sea Race in the hands of the demon lord, I would fight him." Sona thought of the many clansmen still held by Yi Tian but was helpless.
"Stop whispering and hurry up, the King of the Sea Kingdom is waiting for you to return home!" Yi Tian urged Sona and Jones.
He was eager to secure the resources.
Sona and Jones were intimidated by Yi Tian’s dominance, not daring to speak much.
"[Gold*50 million][Spirit-level stones*300,000] trade [Sona][Jones]..."
After drafting the trade document, the King of the Sea Kingdom agreed to the transaction.
The prisoners then vanished, along with the piled bodies.
They were replaced by a large Gold Mountain and a mountain of spirit-level stones.
These spirit-level stones were Star Shining Bright Stones, resulting from vital trade between the Sea Kingdom at the edge of Dagu Sea and Bright Island.
Collecting Star Shining Bright Stones was a necessity for the national operation.
Gold: 180 million.
Spirit-level stones: 1,046,000.
Resources, excluding Celestial Dao Coins: 2,689 stars.
"Demon Lord, dare to fool me! Once the mist clears, I will flatten your territory!" The King of the Sea Kingdom was furious after learning that the Deep Sea Stone Lotus was taken by the lord and seeing his daughter’s plight.
Having witnessed the demon lord’s power, he would not blindly attack even if given the chance again.
From his daughter, he understood the demon lord’s strength; any ordinary attempt to enter would be certain death.
"Fine, I wait for your arrival!" Yi Tian had heard similar threats many times before.
The mist would not clear for another two years.
"Lord, the Deep Sea Stone Lotus is useless to you. Name a price for our Sea Kingdom to ransom it."
After threatening, the King of the Sea Kingdom softened, desperate to redeem the Deep Sea Stone Lotus.
"Who told you the Deep Sea Stone Lotus is useless to me? Don’t waste your breath." Yi Tian intended to give the Deep Sea Stone Lotus to the Fifth Child.
After speaking, Yi Tian blocked the King of the Sea Kingdom, leaving the option for future contact without severing ties.
He instructed the Seventh-Child to act as a small transporter.
Yi Tian seized the opportunity to find the Tiger Race’s deputy commander captured by Huo Qubing.
On Huo Qubing’s side, there were two captured deputy commanders, one severely injured.
For an S-level Body Refiner, as long as the origin is not damaged, severe injuries can be slowly healed.
The remaining captive warriors of the Liger Alliance totaled over two thousand, with twenty-seven A-level warriors.
Yi Tian learned from Huo Qubing that the Tiger Race’s deputy commander was the brother of the Tiger Race’s clan leader and claimed the brother would ransom him.
Such developments were welcomed by Yi Tian.
Yi Tian arrived at the Celestial Prison holding the Tiger Race’s deputy commander, who immediately requested him to add the Tigerman King as a friend to discuss in detail.
The Tigerman King was reasonable; he did not make threats, instead praising Yi Tian as a hero not seen in millennia, destined to transcend and become a deity.
He didn’t mention misunderstandings, only subtly hinted that the Lion Race and Leopard Race were behind the actions, and the Tiger Race was compelled and had to synchronize with allies or face isolation.
"Do you represent your Tiger Race, or the Liger Alliance?" Yi Tian inquired the Tigerman King.
He had captured just over 200 of the Tiger Race.
"The Liger Alliance!"
The Tigerman King’s status and strength were second only to the Lionman King and Leopardman King.
He could represent the prisoners in this matter.
Moreover, most captured were from the Lion Race and Leopard Race, with a prominent S-level figure from the Lion Race captured.
Before negotiating with Yi Tian, the Tigerman King liaised with the Lionman King and Leopardman King.
The resources consumed would be shared by the Lion Race and Leopard Race.
"50 million units of gold to release all warriors of the Liger Alliance." Yi Tian informed the Tiger Race.
In comparison to value, the prisoners from the Liger Alliance were far inferior to those of the Sea Kingdom.
Because both commanders-in-chief of the Liger Alliance were dead.
Both principal generals of the Sea Kingdom were captured alive.
In Yi Tian’s eyes, the Tiger Race’s deputy commander ranked at the bottom among the S-level talents in this attack.
