As expected, after listening to Jiang Chen’s words, Liu Hong and the other two Sect Elders’ expressions changed dramatically. The way they looked at the golden egg had become extremely passionate. They simply couldn’t take their eyes away from it.
“This guy really has the ability to defeat Early Divine Core warrior, he killed an Early Divine Core warrior earlier. How could a young man like him be so strong? It looks like it was all because of this treasure!”
Liu Hong was extremely tempted. Four day ago, he had witnessed how Jiang Chen killed an Early Divine Core warrior. Also, Jiang Chen looked really young, only in his late teens, so if he didn’t have any special encounters, he wouldn’t be so strong. Therefore, the three of them had no doubt about what Jiang Chen told them.
“This treasure must have been produced by the wonderful nature! It might even be a legacy treasure from the ancient era! The energy contained within is so massive, this guy is really lucky! By just absorbing a little of its energy, he broke through to the Heavenly Core realm, and then ten days later, he broke through to the Mid Heavenly Core realm! This is a rare situation, it must be because of this treasure!”
Another Sect Elder thought in his mind.
“It’s such a waste for this young man to possess this rare treasure! If I can absorb the energy within this egg, I will certainly break through the bottle neck and reach the Mid Divine Core realm!”
Another old man couldn’t take his passionate vision away from the golden egg.
“It really is a rare treasure! With this treasure, the overall strength of the Green Sanctuary Sect will increase, and at that time, we will be able to conquer the entire Qian Province!”
A pleasantly surprised expression filled Liu Hong’s face.
All three old men were deeply attracted by the olden egg. Or, they had been tempted by Jiang Chen’s words. The truth was, the Firethorn Savage’s egg didn’t have such great benefits. At most, it could be considered an object with a massive amount of energy. But after Jiang Chen had manipulated them, the golden egg had become something really extraordinary.
The thing was, a treasure that could help a person break through to the Mid Heavenly Core realm from the peak Mortal Core realm was rare. Also, these three men couldn’t recognize the Firethorn Savage’s golden egg, therefore they all believed Jiang Chen’s words.
They never thought that this was an important thing for the Firethorn Savage. In their minds, no one dared touch anything that belonged to the Firethorn Savage. If this man and dog had the guts to do so, they would have died by now.
“This treasure is the breath of my life, but no matter how good the treasure is, it just can’t compare with my life. Now, I’ll present this as a token of apology to the Green Sanctuary Sect. I hope Sect Elder can spare my life. As for those disciples and Sect Elders that died, I can only say sorry, but there is no way for a dead man to walk again. Sigh… it was all my fault for behaving so recklessly.”
Jiang Chen bowed his head with sorrow and a bitter face. His apologetic expressed seemed extremely sincere.
“Hmph! Leave your treasure behind, and you’ll still have to face your death!”
Another old man let out a cold snort as he threatened Jiang Chen.
“I am sincere with my apology, I just want to walk away from here alive. If you three think I am not sincere enough, then never mind, I’ll just destroy this treasure in front of you all. After all, I won’t leave this treasure behind if I will die anyways.”
An insane expression emerged on Jiang Chen’s face, he was behaving desperately.
“Don’t!”
As expected, when Liu Hong heard Jiang Chen say he was going to destroy the golden egg, he immediately shouted out loudly and stopped him. If a rare treasure like this was destroyed, it would make them feel really bad.
“Little brother, what is your name?”
Liu Hong’s tone eased off a little, and at the same time, he retracted his energy and killing intent.
“Jiang Chen.”
Jiang Chen cupped his fist towards Liu Hong.
“Just like you said, there is no way for a dead man to walk again. Even if I kill you now, I still won’t be able to revive them. Since you are so sincere with your apology, as long as you hand your treasure over to us, I’ll let you go.”
Liu Hong said with a friendly expression. However, in his mind, he was sneering. He had decided to kill the duo in front of him once he got his hand on the treasure.
