Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 413 - 226: Cuba: Fight for Territory? Better to Take Wang Xiu! (7200 words)_2
"Not enough? Ask him what he wants!" said the Sect Hierarch of the Black Heaven Sect.
"I’ve asked, but he won’t say. He just keeps asking us to raise our offer!"
"Then tell him this is the limit. Take it or leave it!" The Sect Hierarch of the Black Heaven Sect was furious. It had been a long time since anyone dared to play such games with him. It was infuriating. If that man were here now, he would tear him to shreds.
"...Sect Hierarch, he’s ignoring me now!" the Sixth Elder said with a despondent look.
These words caused an uproar in the hall.
The other party was clearly confident, not worried at all that their intelligence wouldn’t sell.
"He holds all the cards now. If we don’t buy, someone else will." From a corner of the hall, a shadow slowly twisted. It was silent, yet it emitted a grating sound that set one’s teeth on edge.
If it weren’t for the sound, no one would have known someone was lurking in that shadow.
"Then, what is your suggestion?" the Sect Hierarch of the Black Heaven Sect asked, turning to the shadow.
"Tell him the price is negotiable, but we must meet in person. Discussing it over a Communication Token shows a lack of sincerity," the shadow said.
"If we increase the price any further, I’m afraid it will exceed what I can afford," the Sect Hierarch of the Black Heaven Sect said thoughtfully.
"Don’t worry. We will provide the payment," the shadow replied.
"..."
...
Similar scenes unfolded across the various Demon Sects. Almost all of them adopted a similar stance.
The price was negotiable, but not over a Communication Token. It had to be face-to-face, with everyone sitting down together. A deal this big couldn’t be clarified over a simple token.
Moreover, even after settling the terms this way, the actual transaction would still have to be done in person. There was no difference!
Wang Xiu agreed but added one condition: he had to deal with a person of high standing from the Demon Realm in person.
In other words, his attitude made it clear he would only speak with a dignitary from the Demon Realm.
He wanted no intermediaries. Otherwise, the deal was off.
Without much hesitation, the other party agreed. They set a time and place, and Wang Xiu pocketed the Communication Token.
「That night.」
Wang Xiu left a Divine Soul Incarnation on Spirit Turtle Peak. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
His true body used the Transport Array to leave the Sanqing Immortal Sect without a sound.
...
「Heishui City.」
Located in a desolate wilderness, it was an isolated ancient city with skeletal remains piled into mounds beneath its walls.
The earth underfoot was a deep brown.
Legend said this place was once immensely prosperous before an ancient battle took the lives of millions. Soaked in resentment and thick with an aura of death, it had since become a ghost town.
Mortals dared not reside here, and cultivators of the Righteous Path shunned the place for its foul aura.
However, it suited followers of the Demonic Path just fine. Thus, it became the most notorious Demon Cavern, a chaotic den where infamous Demonic Cultivators from all corners of the land could be found.
Wang Xiu walked down the main street of Heishui City. Dressed in a black robe, he gave off a brooding, cold, and sinister air that harmonized perfectly with the surroundings.
Underneath the dark veil of his bamboo hat, his eyes were like ancient wells, calm and unfathomable, as if they had seen all the world’s vicissitudes.
Even the most wicked Demonic Cultivators, who prided themselves on their evil deeds, subconsciously made way for him. They felt a sense of dread, secretly wondering, Who is this Great Demon? With an aura like that, he must have slaughtered hundreds of thousands!
Suddenly, he stopped in the middle of the street, slowly looked up, and, without warning, struck with his palm.
BOOM!
In an instant, runes filled the sky. Strange Demon Patterns were branded onto the void, forming a gigantic demonic claw. It reached into the shadows, shattered a courtyard, and snatched several figures.
"What terrifying Demonic Techniques!"
"Who is this person? With such power, he’s certainly no ordinary man!"
"I’ve never heard of such a powerful Great Demon in Nanzhou!"
"..."
All the Demonic Cultivators were shocked. Such tremendous Demonic Qi! If he’s a member of the Human Race, to what horrifying extent has he cultivated his Demonic Techniques? What kind of unspeakable disaster must he have caused?
"Who... Who are you? What do you want? Let us go!"
"Do you know who we are? If you don’t let go now, you’ll lose your head!"
The few captured Demonic Cultivators were bewildered and terrified, yet they still spouted defiant words.
BOOM!
With a wave of Wang Xiu’s hand, several heads exploded, splattering blood everywhere. Only one was left alive.
The other Demonic Cultivators were petrified. This was a true old demon, ruthless and bloodthirsty, who killed at the slightest provocation.
"I’m here to make a deal. Where are they?" Wang Xiu’s voice was indifferent, laced with a sinister tone.
Ever since he entered Heishui City, he had been watched.
By the time he arrived here, his Divine Sense had already silently swept over half of Heishui City, yet he hadn’t found a single trace of the true Demon Race.
Clearly, the Demon Race was being cautious and hiding well; they had not come to the meeting as agreed. Instead, they had sent a group of Human Race Demonic Cultivators to probe Wang Xiu’s background, fearing he was an undercover agent from the Righteous Path.
"What deal? I don’t know what you’re talking about!" The sole survivor was still trying to lie, so Wang Xiu simply crushed his skull and read his soul on the spot.
Then, he changed direction and made his way toward a tower in the city.
Along the way, he summoned an enormous, blood-red skull. It unleashed a vast Blood Sea that blotted out the sky.
Wherever it passed, any surrounding Demonic Cultivators swept into its path were instantly annihilated, their bodies and souls ground to dust.
This was not a Magical Treasure but a construct of spell runes. It was an astonishing form of Demonic Techniques.
"AH—"
"Where did this madman come from? He’s killing everyone on sight!"
"Just like those brutes from the Asura Sect! He’d kill someone for just looking at him!"
"Who looked at him? I damn well didn’t!"
"..."
All the Demonic Cultivators were terrified. They fled in every direction, panic-stricken and drenched in cold sweat.
That day, Heishui City suffered a calamity.
Countless Demon Cultivators were purged.
