Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 730 Sharing Is Caring.

?The Zhu Family was in chaos; they could not find any trace of the person who had robbed them. They could not do anything about it but lay low. If they told the other people what happened apart from the attack on Zhu Lin, this entire debacle would become a stain on their faces.

They could sacrifice Zhu Lin with the title of the wasted youth, but they could never lose their faces as the big name in the city. People with insecurities preferred their faces more. The Zhu Family was no different.

...

Yang Tie returned to the pavilion and was disconcerted by what he witnessed. The young master managed to hunt the treasure inside the Zhu Family. Another thing that shocked them was that City Lord Pie did not give a face to the ancestor of the Zhu Family.

He was almost flying off the handle and triggering the chaos in the city. The Zhu Family lost their Third Young Master inside their home. This was not as simple as just an assassination but also a challenge to the fortitude of the family. The more Yang Tie thought about it, the more his head spun.

He retired to his room quietly. City Lord Pie had agreed to visit them after a week to find his share of the loot. Yang Tie was worried that anyone would find out what they had done. The Zhu Family might give up all pretense and come at them with a full-blown battle.

This was not the optimal time to have a battle. The tournament was crucial, and the people could use any chance to ruin the contenders of the other force. Thinking about this, Yang Tie wanted to go out and meet Shi Lang.

However, the latter appeared at his doorstep before he could find the Terran. Yang Tie opened the door and hesitated. Shi Lang sighed and said, "It is me, Brother Yang, and you must get a grip. You are a pavilion master. Please be a bit more confident."

Yang Tie let out a breath and fell to the ground. He was exhausted. This entire thing was mentally taxing to him. Shi Lang shook his head and asked, "Did you contact old man Tian?"

Yang Tie was dazed, and Shi Lang waved his hand and turned around. He was going back to his room. The pavilion master was overwhelmed by all the things that happened that day. Shi Lang thought he was expecting a bit too much from him.

He went back to his room and sat down on a cushion. He sent a message to Tian Long with his spiritual communicator. He only mentioned that he wanted to meet the latter. After that, he sighed and lay back on the ground.

He mumbled, "I wonder if that old lizard will be shocked to death."

Thinking about this, he smiled. He had already inspected the goods and found that the chest filled with Emeris was bigger than the other two. The people from the Zhu family had already handled the chest. They had placed a few restrictions on it, but nothing that could not be handled by the old ghosts in the inheritance palace.

As for the spiritual treasures, those ghosts charged him a few and absorbed the natural treasures to become stronger. Shi Lang did not even have the time to protest. Raksha shivered inside his spiritual tattoo and said, "Lang, can you give me a handful of Emeris?"

Shi Lang raised his brow and asked, "Why do you need that thing?"

Raksha replied, "To craft a sheath for myself. Also, will absorbing the material allow me to pass the heavenly tribulation?"

Shi Lang opened his eyes and asked, "What do you mean by the heavenly tribulation?"

Raksha smiled and said, "I am a Legendary spiritual artifact. However, you do not know I can ascend to the saint-level spiritual artifact. Imagine how strong I can become then."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Are you sure you only need a handful?"

Raksha nodded and answered, "Well, as far as Emeris is considered, yes."

The Terran became alert and asked, "What do you mean by 'as far as' Emeris is considered?"

Raksha replied, "You think promoting a spiritual artifact is easy? We have it harder than you humans."

Shi Lang sighed and shook his head, "I have no idea how many such treasures you will be consuming."

Raksha shrugged and replied, "Even if you give me all the treasures you find, it is not guaranteed that I might ascend the level easily. One must not depend on external resources. Heavens, do not forget that."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Fine, I will give you the Emeris when Tian Long is here. Let me rub it in his face a bit."

Raksha asked in surprise, "You do not intend to give him anything?"

Shi Lang shook his head, "I will give him. After all, he sent me to this city. It was his credit somehow. However, I will give him a pinch of it."

The spiritual artifact could not help but burst into laughter. She calmed down after a bit and said, "I wonder if he would cough up blood."

Shi Lang shrugged and said, "This reminds me, what happened to that old guy of the Zhu Family?"

Raksha replied, "I was with you. How would I know?"

Shi Lang thought and said, "Yeah, correct. Someone ought to know, though?"

A calm voice echoed behind him, "Ought to know what?"

Shi Lang stood up and turned to find that Tian Long and Zither Soul had appeared inside his room. The Terran smiled and said, "Old Ancestor of the Zhu Family probably got hurt."

Tian Long raised his brow and asked, "What do you mean?"

Shi Lang smiled, approached Zither Soul, and said, "I have a gift for you."

Tian Long rolled his eyes and asked, "Are you ignoring my question?"

Shi Lang's smile vanished and said, "Raksha, deal with this guy."

Raksha appeared beside him, and Shi Lang took a chunk of silver-ish metal and presented it to her. Zither Soul was confused and asked, "Lang, what is this?"

Shi Lang smiled and told her with a spiritual sense. The lady was shocked and then gave up her lady-like cold manner directly to snatch the piece of metal. The Terran smiled and said, "Don't share it with your husband."

Zither Soul nodded. Tian Long saw this and asked, "What is this about?"

Shi Lang tossed a chunk of metal to Raksha and then took out a smaller one to hand over to Tian Long. The sovereign was not clueless; he gawked at the piece in his hand after a thorough examination. He asked with a stammer, "Where... where did you... find it?"

Shi Lang replied calmly, "In the secret vault of the Zhu Family. They are worthy of being called a big shot."

Tian Long and Zither Soul were shocked. They exchanged glances, and the man asked, "Did they find it was you?"

Shi Lang glanced at him in disdain, "Who are you talking to, plebian? I am not the Scavenger King for nothing, okay? Mind your business."

Then he flicked his sleeves and turned to look away from him. Tian Long clenched his fist and asked, "Bastard, stop with the antics. If you are discovered, the situation will be bad."

Shi Lang said, "That is why I have called you here."

He took out another chunk of Emeris and said, "This thing is to be divided among the people involved in this conspiracy. This thing and your face value shall be enough to alleviate them."

Tian Long was surprised and asked, "Why pacify them?"

The Terran asked, "I am not strong enough to kill a Saint-level forger. Also, it would be a huge waste."

Tian Long appeared behind him and grabbed his shoulder. He asked in disbelief, "What did you just say?"

Shi Lang replied calmly, "The accomplice who provided me with the means to infiltrate the senses of a peak Immortal emperor is a Saint-level forger, also known as City Lord Pie. Can you handle him, or do you need me to go?"

Tian Long almost coughed up blood, watching this guy act so nonchalantly. He did not expect Shi Lang to up his game to the level where even the City Lord was involved in such a conspiracy. He wanted to ask what medicine Shi Lang fed them but held his question back for the risk of being called stupid.

Zither Soul said, "What are you waiting for? Long, go and deal with the issue."

Tian Long nodded and walked out of the room in a daze, and the people heard a loud call, "Yang Tie, come here!"

Shi Lang shook his head and remarked, "Sis, you know this pair of men has no guts. I wonder why old Tian was called the Heavenly Providence. Why did you fall for him? He has no spine."

Fairy Moon Jade sighed, "In the Immortal Plain, I had no other options. He is still comparatively better than the rest."

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "Such a compromise. By the way, do you want to drink? I made the first big score in this world."

Moon Jade chuckled and said, "I have bought you good wine. Come. I also want to talk about the Alliance with War Maiden Sect."

Shi Lang gave her a thumbs-up and followed her to the garden. He sent a spiritual message to Bo Qingtan and Yun Xue as well. The things they were about to talk was a big issue and he needed them to learn.
