No one believed that the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner would refuse.
It was too tempting.
The tomb of a Great Sage, even if split between Jiangshan First-class Building and the Divine Movement Sect,
would be enough to alter the fates of both powers.
Before long, they could both possibly produce a Divinity Transformation expert.
As a businessman,
the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner had no reason to refuse.
“I refuse.”
The words left Kang Lin visibly stunned.
Even Jiang Fan couldn’t believe it.
The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner had, with calm indifference, rejected them.
Kang Lin barked urgently, “Owner, do you think that because I am but a disciple, my promise holds no weight?”
“Then, what if I summon my master to negotiate with you?”
The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner’s gaze remained detached, “Even if your master comes, the answer is the same.”
“I refuse.”
“That’s it. The deal is off.”
“You may carry on.”
He stepped into the void, hands clasped behind his back, and departed gracefully.
Kang Lin felt as though his heart had crashed from heaven into hell. He cried out anxiously:
“But why, Owner?”
“What’s wrong with this deal?”
The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner paused in his steps.
He cast a faint, downward gaze at Kang Lin and said, “If I were a penniless merchant,
I might take such a risk, wagering everything on an opportunity for overnight riches at minimal cost.”
“But now, I carry Jiangshan First-class Building on my shoulders.”
“Gambling Jiangshan First-class Building on what you call a highly risky opportunity is not worth it.”
“We businessmen do not engage in unprofitable trades.”
Kang Lin hurriedly replied, “But there’s no risk left!”
“As long as we kill everyone here, there’s no chance of anything going wrong!”
The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner replied indifferently, “There is no such thing as absolute certainty in this world.”
“Even that Earth Phoenix tomb is a risk.”
“I don’t believe that entering the tomb of a Great Sage is as simple as you claim.”
“I also advise you to cut your losses while you can.”
“Of course, it seems the three of you do not have that luxury anymore.”
With that,
he disappeared into the wintry winds and snow, vanishing into the vast heavens and earth.
“Owner!!!” Kang Lin screamed in despair.
Ah!
Out of nowhere,
a wretched cry pierced the air.
It happened just after the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner had walked away.
Jiang Fan, Ren Guhong, and Wu Manyue seemed to have coordinated their attack,
simultaneously targeting a Ninth Layer Core Formation disciple.
Even if Jiang Fan fought alone, he could easily obliterate the person,
let alone when the three joined forces in a surprise attack.
The disciple barely had time to react before dying on the spot.
“This one’s mine!” Wu Manyue severed his head in a single stroke, swiftly stuffing it into a space storage device.
“You!” Ren Guhong, seeing his chance slip away, decisively dashed toward another Ninth Layer Core Formation cultivator.
Jiang Fan blinked.
He actually didn’t manage to claim the kill!
