Chapter 747: Stripping the Cui Clan Bare

The Cui Clan members still didn’t believe Bai Zihan’s explanation.

After all, they came from the Cui Clan of the Central Glorious Continent.

They were a powerful Alchemist Clan. Their knowledge of Alchemy was far beyond that of other people.

They firmly believed that there was almost nothing in the field of Alchemy that they didn’t know.

Even if there really were some unknown information—

How could Bai Zihan, someone from the Eastern Region, know about it when they didn’t?

They simply couldn’t accept it.

Bai Zihan wasn’t interested in whether they believed him or not.

Whether they believed him didn’t matter.

What mattered was—They had all fallen into his trap.

Bai Zihan calmly looked at the Cui Clan members lying across the floor.

"Now then..."

A faint smile appeared on his face.

"How shall I deal with you?"

The expressions of the Cui Clan members immediately changed.

Some of the younger members couldn’t help but panic.

They had never imagined that they would find themselves in such a situation after coming to the Eastern Region.

Yet despite their fear, they quickly put on their bravest expressions.

"You’d better think carefully. We are from the Cui Clan!"

"If you know what’s good for you, then immediately give us the antidote! After that, apologize sincerely!"

"Otherwise, you will regret offending us!"

Their voices were filled with arrogance.

They were clearly using the reputation of the Cui Clan to threaten Bai Zihan.

Well, now that they don’t have the strength to resist, they can resort to using their background.

Bai Zihan looked at them calmly.

He didn’t care much about their threats.

It wasn’t the first time he had heard such words.

And he was certain it wouldn’t be the last.

He had dealt with countless people who believed that their backgrounds could protect them.

In the end, their backgrounds had never saved them.

Bai Zihan’s gaze slowly swept across the Cui Clan’s group.

Now that everyone had collapsed, he could finally observe their strength carefully.

Eleven Golden Immortal Experts.

The rest were in the Earth Immortal Realm and Immortal Ascension Realm.

Most of the latter were extremely young.

From the looks of it, those eleven Golden Immortals were most likely their bodyguards.

As for the younger members, they were probably the geniuses sent by the Cui Clan.

They had most likely come to the Eastern Region in hopes of obtaining the inheritance of the True God’s Legacy.

This was indeed an extremely terrifying force.

If the Bai Clan had fought them directly, the outcome would have been difficult to predict.

Even if the Bai Clan could win, there would undoubtedly be heavy losses.

With eleven Golden Immortals working together, they were not an opponent that could be dealt with easily.

Using poison to take care of them was much better.

Of course, by doing this, Bai Zihan had completely offended the Cui Clan.

If possible, this was something he would have preferred to avoid.

Creating a conflict with them would undoubtedly bring trouble to the Bai Clan.

However, even if he hadn’t done this today, avoiding a conflict with the Cui Clan would have been almost impossible.

For one, Ouyang Jiuding was clearly determined to create trouble between the two sides.

Bai Zihan understood the reason very well.

The Vermillion Pill Empire had already failed to destroy the Bai Clan.

Because of that, Bai Zihan had no doubt that they had been losing sleep over when the Bai Clan would come looking for revenge.

The longer the Bai Clan grew stronger, the more uneasy the Vermillion Pill Empire would become.

Now that the Cui Clan had arrived in the Eastern Region, they had been presented with an excellent opportunity.

How could the Vermillion Pill Empire possibly let it slip away?

And even if it weren’t for Ouyang Jiuding, knowing the relationship of Vermillion Pill Empire with the Cui Clan, they might have come on their initiative once they knew.

The second reason was even simpler.

The Cui Clan had already set their eyes on the Mu Clan.

They wanted Mu Linyue and the Mu Clan.

But how could Bai Zihan possibly accept that?

Therefore, whether it happened today or later—

A conflict with the Cui Clan was already unavoidable.

Since that was the case—Why not strike first?

Why not attack when they least expected it?

And judging from the current situation, it had clearly been the correct choice.

Meanwhile, Cui Yudan’s expression changed repeatedly.

He could clearly see that threats were useless against Bai Zihan.

Bai Zihan didn’t seem to care about the Cui Clan’s reputation at all.

In that case—

Cui Yudan gritted his teeth.

"Bai Zihan."

His voice became slightly more restrained.

"If you are willing to let us go, the Cui Clan can compensate you generously."

Bai Zihan raised an eyebrow.

"Compensate me?"

Cui Yudan immediately nodded.

"That’s right. As long as you release us, I’ll give you ten Heavenly Grade Artifacts!"

Ten Heavenly Grade Artifacts was already an enormous amount.

Such an amount could match an entire Empire’s treasury in the Eastern Region.

Cui Yudan didn’t just stop there.

"I’ll also give you a batch of Grade-7 Pills!"

His expression became more confident.

"You should understand how valuable Grade-7 Pills are in the Eastern Region."

Bai Zihan remained calm.

Grade-7 pills?

If it were before, he might be tempted but after System gave him Grandmaster Pill knowledge and with Mu Clan having Grandmaster alchemists as well, there was no need to worry about Grade-7 pills at all.

Cui Yudan gritted his teeth again.

"Not only that..."

His eyes flashed.

"I can even give you a Grade-8 Golden Immortal Ascension Pill!"

The moment those words were spoken—

The expressions of several Mu Clan members changed.

A Grade-8 Pill!

And not just any Grade-8 Pill.

It was a legendary pill capable of helping an Earth Immortal break through to the Golden Immortal Realm!

Even in the Central Glorious Continent, such a pill was an extremely precious treasure.

Cui Yudan looked at Bai Zihan.

"With this pill, the Bai Clan can produce a Golden Immortal Expert! Once you have a Golden Immortal Expert, you will have enough strength to dominate the entire Eastern Region!"

His voice became increasingly confident.

"Surely you understand the value of such a deal."

Since threats didn’t work, he would use the Cui Clan’s resources to tempt Bai Zihan.

After all, in his opinion, there was no way Bai Zihan could refuse such an offer.

Ten Heavenly Grade Artifacts.

Grade-7 Pills!

And most importantly, a legendary Grade-8 Golden Immortal Ascension Pill.

What force in the Eastern Region could possibly refuse such treasures?

Cui Yudan looked at Bai Zihan expectantly.

However, Bai Zihan simply looked at him with an indifferent expression.

"Don’t bother."

Cui Yudan was stunned.

Bai Zihan casually waved his hand.

"As if I lack such small things!"

Cui Yudan was completely stunned by Bai Zihan’s reply.

He had never expected Bai Zihan to reject his offer without even the slightest hesitation.

Ten Heavenly Grade Artifacts!

A batch of Grade-7 Pills.

And even a legendary Grade-8 Golden Immortal Ascension Pill.

That was already the best offer that almost anyone in the Eastern Region could hope to receive. Yet Bai Zihan didn’t even seem interested.

His expression remained completely indifferent.

Cui Yudan couldn’t help clenching his teeth.

"Bai Zihan!"

His voice became somewhat cold.

"We don’t hold any grudges against each other. Why can’t you simply let us go?"

He stared at Bai Zihan.

"I even offered you ten Heavenly Grade Artifacts and a Grade-8 Golden Immortal Ascension Pill. What more do you want?"

Cui Yudan’s expression became increasingly ugly.

He felt that he had already lowered himself enough.

If Bai Zihan still refused to let them go after all this—

Then he was simply making things difficult on purpose.

"Don’t refuse a drink, only to be forced to drink!"

Bai Zihan didn’t even bother responding to him.

He simply waved his hand.

Several Mu Clan experts immediately stepped forward.

The Cui Clan members’ expressions changed drastically.

"What are you doing?!"

"Don’t touch me!"

"Get your hands off me!"

They struggled desperately. However, without their Qi, they had no strength to resist.

One after another, they were quickly restrained.

Their storage rings were removed.

Their weapons were confiscated.

Every valuable item on their bodies was taken.

Even the proud young masters and young misses of the Cui Clan could only watch helplessly as everything they carried was taken away.

Once everything had been collected, Bai Zihan began checking the storage rings one by one.

As expected, the Cui Clan’s wealth was astonishing.

Even the possessions of their younger members were extremely valuable.

There were Grade-6 and Grade-7 Alchemy materials.

There were even some Grade-8 materials.

There were countless pills of various grades.

And there was an entire arsenal of Heavenly Grade Artifacts.

Bai Zihan’s eyes flickered slightly.

The value of the items these people carried was already comparable to the treasury of an entire Empire.

In fact, it might even be more valuable.

Bai Zihan continued checking.

One storage ring after another.

Then it was finally Cui Yudan’s turn.

The moment Bai Zihan opened his storage ring, his eyes widened slightly.

As expected, Cui Yudan’s wealth was much greater than that of the others.

There were countless Grade-7 Pills.

There were rare Alchemy materials.

There were several powerful Heavenly Grade Artifacts.

Among them was a particularly valuable artifact.

A High Heaven Defensive Artifact.

Bai Zihan carefully examined it.

This artifact could block a single deadly attack.

It could save its owner’s life at a critical moment.

There were also Grade-7 Recovery Pills.

Once consumed, they could immediately heal serious injuries and recover half of one’s Qi.

With enough time, the user’s Qi could be completely restored in less than a minute.

These were all extremely useful treasures.

In a dangerous battle, any one of them could completely change the outcome.

Unfortunately, Cui Yudan had been poisoned.

His Qi was completely out of control.

He couldn’t even move properly.

Those treasures were useful once Cui Yudan became incapacitated.

Bai Zihan casually put those treasures aside.

Then his gaze landed on the final item.

The item which he hoped would be on them!

The True God’s Legacy Map!
