Chapter 49: An Exorbitant Demand

"I have five Spirit Stones on me, and my Family has plenty more money!"

Yang Shi shouted hurriedly, "I am the eldest young master of the Family; they will give you whatever amount of money you ask for!"

"Tsk tsk, with so much money, why did you go to collect some pittance of an allowance in the first place, and then go and foolishly provoke me?"

Su Lang smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "Alright, enough nonsense. Have your Family bring 200,000 gold coins immediately!"

The Yang Family was able to send four Martial Artists to protect Yang Shi; they were definitely a large Family second only to the Ye Family.

Therefore, Su Lang made an exorbitant demand of 200,000 gold coins!

"200,000 gold coins!?"

Yang Shi shuddered all over, his face twitching.

Even for the Yang Family's accumulated wealth over many years, 200,000 gold coins would definitely be more than half of their savings!

"What? Are you not worth that price?"

Su Lang raised his eyebrows, "Never mind then, just go die."

As he spoke, he raised his Tang dao, which was wreathed in lightning.

"No! Don't!"

Yang Shi shouted in immense terror, "200,000 it is! My father will definitely pay it! I am my father's only son!"

"Deal!"

Su Lang curled the corner of his mouth and sheathed his blade.

In reality, he had made an exorbitant demand; getting 100,000 would have been a pleasant surprise, so 200,000 was simply beyond imagination.

With this money, three System functions could be upgraded again, and by then, the speed of Su Lang's strength improvement would increase exponentially!

"Thank you, Lord Su, for sparing my life! Thank you, thank you!"

Having saved his life, Yang Shi was so moved that he wept bitterly and kowtowed repeatedly.

He finally didn't have to die!

Although after this matter, a brutal punishment from the Family would be inevitable, and he might even lose a layer of skin.

But he had saved his life; he could still enjoy wealth, power, and beauty, and he could still trample over ordinary people and act imperiously.

"Alright, all of you, get up."

Su Lang commanded coldly, and Yang Shi and the others shuddered, forcing themselves to crawl up from the ground despite their injuries.

"You!"

Su Lang pointed at a guard whose legs were intact and said, "Go and deliver a message.

Tell the Yang Family to prepare 200,000 gold coins and send one Formal Martial Artist to deliver it to the red forest in the E-rank Green-Antler Deer area within half a day.

If no one comes after the time limit, or if your Yang Family dares to play any tricks, your young master will die a miserable death!

By then, I will send his head back to the Yang Family, causing your Family's dignity to be swept away and making you a laughingstock!"

Su Lang naturally wouldn't take risks himself; things like collecting a ransom could be left to his Clone.

And the Green-Antler Deer area was exactly where his Clone was currently hunting; there were no strongholds of any faction in that place.

"Yes! Lo… Lord, I'll go deliver the message right away!"

The guard nodded hurriedly and then ran towards the direction of the barrier at full speed.

"Let's go."

Su Lang turned around and walked forward.

"Ah!?"

Yang Shi was stunned for a moment, then said cautiously, "Lord Su… that is not the direction to the Green-Antler Deer area."

"Who said I wanted to go to the Green-Antler Deer area?"

Su Lang glanced at Yang Shi indifferently, "Also, did I give you permission to speak?"

"So-sorry… I was wrong!"

Yang Shi shrank his neck in fear, just like a turtle.

He kept his mouth tightly shut, mixing in among the three heavily injured guards as he followed Su Lang forward.

Only by doing so could he feel a little sense of security.

Soon, Su Lang brought the four of them, Yang Shi included, to a very remote mountain stream.

"Clone Dispatch!"

With a thought from Su Lang, the Clone that was currently hunting in the Green-Antler Deer area immediately materialized in front of him.

"This is… the Black-Robed White-Masked one!?"

Yang Shi and the others looked as if they had seen a ghost, their eyes wide open!

They had decided to return to the city precisely because they heard that a Ye Family stronghold had been wiped out by a Black-Robed White-Masked maniac.

But at this moment, this Black-Robed White-Masked maniac had actually appeared right in front of them.

And it had appeared in such an inconceivable way!

Furthermore, seeing it standing there with hands hanging down, not saying a word, it looked exactly like a subordinate!

"Could it be that this Black-Robed maniac is actually Su Lang's subordinate!?"

This thought appeared in the minds of Yang Shi and the other three simultaneously, leaving them stunned and shocked.

For someone to go from Body Tempering to a Martial Artist in less than a day was already an inconceivable matter.

And now, this Su Lang actually had such a bizarre subordinate!

It was too unreasonable, too hard to believe!

Just who exactly is this Su Lang!?
