Amidst the surprise, everyone was stunned.
"Not going yet!" Wang Xiaoqiang's face turned cold as he shouted, "Is money more precious than life? Are you forcing me to kill?"
"Don't just stand there, take out the gold coins and give them to him!" Prince Gong also feared Wang Xiaoqiang would start a massacre in the Wang Manor, so he shouted an order.
Before he finished speaking, hundreds of people in the manor stood up and went back to their rooms to retrieve the gold coins.
"Bring them all out, not a single coin left. Leave one, and I'll kill one person; leave two, and I'll kill four!" Wang Xiaoqiang said harshly.
"Don't worry, a few mere gold coins are nothing to me; they wouldn't dare keep any to themselves!" Prince Gong exclaimed. "Tell me, besides gold coins, what else do you want? If you want me to betray, that's impossible; after all, I am a member of the imperial clan and do not want to bear infamy... I'd rather die!"
"Don't worry, I want neither your life nor your betrayal," Wang Xiaoqiang said casually. He understood that having a prince betray wouldn't achieve much; once he captured Yue City and Madame Gou Yi, these princes would naturally fall under his control.
Wang Xiaoqiang's words surprised Prince Gong; he could hardly believe his ears.
Soon, Prince Gong's family brought out all the gold coins from the manor, boxes and crates full of coins, golden and dazzling, tempting all who saw them.
With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Wang Xiaoqiang estimated there were about two million coins.
Before attacking Prince Gong's territory, he had just conquered Prince Linn's territory, finding only one and a half million coins from the Predecessor King there.
In comparison, Prince Gong's stash was somewhat larger, but to Wang Xiaoqiang, it wasn't much; two million coins refined into Refined Gold and then into Flowing Gold would just be dozens of grams.
Even a small amount is still something; though gold coins are few, it's better than nothing. There's no other shortcut for cultivation, only accumulating bit by bit.
With a thought, Wang Xiaoqiang collected the gold coins into the Sumeru Ring, preparing to release the people and attack another prince when suddenly he heard a sound coming from the sky, and several figures flashed above.
Everyone looked up, startled, when a voice boomed from the sky, "Wang Xiaoqiang, surrender now, and you may be spared death."
Wang Xiaoqiang looked up and saw six figures in the sky, led by none other than the defeated Luo Sang King. The five beside him were of Immortal King Level, but Wang Xiaoqiang was baffled. He thought, Why would these mere six, defeated adversaries, seek death by confronting him?
Moreover, Luo Sang King's tone was quite strong, as if he was fearless. Wang Xiaoqiang suspected, wasn't this group prepared for battle?
After acquiring the Demon Sound Wall, Luo Sang King quickly brought five experts to Prince Gong's territory for rescue,
but they arrived late, finding Wang Xiaoqiang's army already occupying all of Prince Gong's lands and controlling the manor.
Fearing Wang Xiaoqiang would kill Prince Gong, he shouted in the sky to distract Wang Xiaoqiang's attention.
Wang Xiaoqiang became wary, repeatedly scanning the five in the sky with his Divine Sense, when he suddenly sensed a faint, filament-like demonic qi from Luo Sang King's body.
This made Wang Xiaoqiang even more suspicious; does Luo Sang King have a Demon Beast, or a Demon Artifact?
"Ha, not much capability, just big talk; a mere defeated adversary, how dare you still come to die?" Wang Xiaoqiang said with mocking laughter to Luo Sang King in the sky.
"Have the guts to come up for a fight!" Luo Sang King issued a challenge, also fearing Wang Xiaoqiang might use Prince Gong as a hostage.
Wang Xiaoqiang did not go up and said, "You tell me to go up, then I go up? Who do you think you are?"
"Hmph, Wang Xiaoqiang, aren't you afraid? Aren't you fearless of heaven and earth? Why are you backing off now?" Luo Sang King, knowing the Bewitching Technique activated by Demon Sound Wall had extensive and destructive power, hoped Wang Xiaoqiang would fight him in the sky away from Prince Gong's family on the ground.
"No need to provoke me, I won't fall for it. If you dare, come down for a fight, how about it?" Wang Xiaoqiang knew he had a Demon Creature on him, which was generally strong and destructive, making Luo Sang King cautious with so many people on the ground.
As they stood at an impasse, Prince Gong spoke solemnly, "Luo Sang King, if you're confident, feel free to come down and claim this boy's life. Our lives you need not worry about!"
"You old thing, you certainly have backbone." Wang Xiaoqiang said while striking Prince Gong across the air.
Slap!
A crisp slap resounded, leaving Prince Gong's old face flushed red.
"Scoundrel, you may not shame my father!" A brocade-robed youth rushed forward to attack Wang Xiaoqiang, but was held back by two other brocade-robed youths,
angered, Wang Xiaoqiang flashed his eyes and reached for the brocade-robed youth, forming a suction force that pulled him over.
Wang Xiaoqiang grabbed the youth's neck, slapped him several times, then tightened his grip until the youth's face turned red and his breathing was labored. He then looked up to the sky and said, "Luo Sang King, if you don't come down, I'll strangle this disrespectful child."
"Spare him!" Seeing this, Luo Sang King couldn't help but descend, followed by five Personal Guards.
"Haha, reveal your demon creature now. To think you, a Marquis King of Yue Kingdom, collude with the Demon Sect...that will surely make headlines, and this Yue Kingdom will become the target of much ire..." Wang Xiaoqiang said with a sweeping gaze over Luo Sang King.
"Hmph, all nations in the Immortal Realm are in chaos; who cares about this? Wang Xiaoqiang, since you've found out, surrender quickly lest you die an ugly death..."
Luo Sang King spoke arrogantly, flipping his right hand, revealing a palm-sized crystal shimmering with light, similar in shape to mah-jong tiles but definitely not mah-jong.
With the emergence of the crystal, a dense, extreme demonic qi spread out at once.
Everyone was shocked at the sight.
Even Prince Gong looked surprised, realizing that Luo Sang King indeed held a Demon Artifact!
Wang Xiaoqiang stared at the crystal, his gaze tightening.
"Little Qiang, that's the Demon Sound Wall!" Leng Qingqiu warned, eyeing the crystal in Luo Sang King's hand. "Demon Sound Wall transmits Bewitching Technique through magic power, its potency enormous, indiscriminately affecting both men and women...those weak in willpower are utterly powerless to resist!"
After her warning, Leng Qingqiu instinctively moved beside Wang Xiaoqiang.
When hunting in North Sea, Wang Xiaoqiang had seen the demonesses' Bewitching Techniques, immensely formidable, and truth be told, he was indeed wary of them. Upon hearing this Demon Sound Wall used Bewitching Techniques, his heart sank, especially knowing it was capable of affecting men and women alike, thus realizing it was even deadlier than the demonesses' techniques.
