The Legend of the Sacred Sword Cultivator
Ch 117: Meeting II

"How can you say such a simple thing, little boy! You had no intention of helping us in the first place, did you? If that's true then you won't ask for it in return." The elder puffed furiously until his eyes glared sharply. However his anger was only met with a small ruckus from Yang Jian. Yang Jian's response which looked like a scorn made the elders glare furiously.

"Did I ever tell you that I'd help you?"

"Whatchu mean? Didn't you just say to help-"

"I said if I could cover the lack of Stone City recovery funds. Then where could the elder draw such a conclusion?"

Silent!

The originally tense meeting room turned silent, none of the elders showed any objections frankly, but the aura of dislike towards Yang Jian seemed to still be thick.

"A sickening pull system." Sizzle Yang Jian slowly. How not, the previous elders were being trivial and considered if Yang Jian was just boasting, but now they were being arrogant forcing Yang Jian to seriously get the help offered. How naive!

"Then what do you want?" Asked one of the elders to try to calm down.

"What do you offer?"

"We will compensate you properly, Young Master. You don't have to worry. But we also need to make sure everything is in order to consider the rewards that can satisfy you." This time it was answered by Nobles Jingmi.

Yang Jian was silent and only nodded slowly to respond. Then Yang Jian raised his left finger to the face, appearing two beautifully circular elegant rings, one on his index finger and another on his thumb finger.

Nobles Jingmi and the elders began to hold their breaths waiting for Yang Jian to prove his remark. High curiosity makes the atmosphere a little tense.

Yang Jian gently rubbed the ring with a silver-colored phoenix engraving on his index finger, a second later the ring let out a golden light that was loosening around the ring. Simultaneously with the disappearance of the light, just then also the items that were within the ring came out and filled the round table.

Mounting gold coins, silver coins and bronze coins that are not inferior to gold coins. even some expensive jewelry and low-level resources emerged one by one from the vacuum and filled the round table to form a treasure hill. The room now looks beautiful sparkling due to the reflection of coins and jewelry from the table.

Seeing that, the elders and Nobles of Jingmi jumped from the chair followed by a trembling body. Their eyes bulged at the sight of so many treasures plastered on the table. Even the height of the treasure hill is able to block the views of the elders even though they are already in a standing position.

"Gum!" Yang Jian cleared his throat slowly, awakening the elders and Nobles of Jingmi from their shock who still admired the treasures before them. Hearing Yang Jian's deheman made them begin to neutralize the expressions.

Although the people present at the meeting were people who belonged to the ranks of the rich who had abundant wealth, they were, it was not comparable to the small wealth that Yang Jian had within his two dimensional rings. It was only natural that the elders and Nobles of Jingmi were surprised to see such a mountainous treasure.

On the seat to Yang Jian's right, it appeared that a middle-aged male elder was acting uneasy even his small gestures looked suspicious. Yang Jian who had a strong vision and instinct was able to catch those small movements. Unexpectedly, the elder began to raise his hand intending to touch the gold coin before him.

A cruel grin rose at the corner of Yang Jian's lips upon seeing the scene, taking out one of the gold coins in his hole and pointing at the elder. A gold coin shot out like lightning and struck hard into the chest of the city elder until it pierced through his heart.

"Gurghhh!" Fresh blood poured out profusely from his chest and followed with perfectly glared eyes. Simultaneously, the mountain of treasures that were on the table instantly disappeared in the blink of an eye as it was pulled back by Yang Jian.

Now everyone's attention turned to a middle-aged man who was holding back the pain, blood pouring from the chest and breath faltering to make a chilling sensation.

"Brakkk!"

A second later the middle-aged man's body collapsed to the ground.

The meeting room turned gripping, none of them making a sound even to breathe even though they looked cautious. Only one person in this room they believed was the perpetrator of the murder, Yang Jian.

"He's trying to steal my coin. So I stole his life." Said Yang Jian plainly. His calm countenance did not at all indicate that he had just taken someone's life.

Yang Jian's words made the people in the room gulp down his saliva violently, their bodies seem to freeze with cold sweat that began to wet their backs. Even the few elders who had a greedy look towards Yang Jian's gold coins started to melt. At first glance there seemed a sense of relief in their eyes from not acting rashly.

Now that no one in the room had a look of disdain towards Yang Jian, there was only a look of horror that clearly showed domineering fear.

Although the Jingmi Nobles and the city elders were among the cultivators but their practice stopped after serving in the Stone City government, they clearly knew how to play a cultivator. Killing a cultivator just by throwing a coin clearly shows that the cultivator has high practice and qi. Even the Jingmi Nobles who had the highest practice in the room were unable to do that.

This young man was definitely not an indiscriminate person. Having abundant treasures alone already showed that if Yang Jian had an identity that was not easy, now they were shocked back by Yang Jian's actions that could easily kill with just a single coin.

"Uh, I really don't like thieves." Yang Jian muttered as he lowered his buttocks onto the chair calmly without being disturbed by the slightest change in attitude of the people around him.

"I hope you didn't disappoint me. Or I won't be kind." Threatening Yang Jian stared intently at the elders of the city. Yang Jian's gaze that turned serious made the elders freeze. The gripping Eve that was exuding from Yang Jian's body made them have trouble breathing and were only able to nod slowly to respond.

"Alright let's talk about this further." After which Yang Jian retracted his aura and began to discuss further regarding the planning of the recovery of Stone City.
