I Am Overlord

Chapter 1307: Value of Saintforce Token

Just as Xue Buyi was filled with confidence, his blood-soaked cloth was torn apart. The blinding golden radiance transformed into countless golden rays and shot toward him. Xue Buyi had just exhausted a large amount of his vitality to power the blood-soaked cloth. He hadn't even gotten the chance to recover, so he was completely incapable of resisting the sudden attack. Before he even knew what was happening, his entire head was turned into mincemeat.

And thus, a top-10 participant of the Devil Hunting Expedition had perished. The surrounding people didn't even get a clear look at what had happened due to the blinding radiance. Some started screaming in pain as a stinging pain assaulted their eyes. Only those at the Saint Realm could sense that an extraordinary energy had appeared, and only they could see how Xue Buyi had died.

Even Tang Zhan exclaimed in astonishment, "I-is this the flux goldthorn energy?"

An energy of this level was fatally attractive to Saint Realm experts like him. One could say that the flux goldthorn energy was a saint-grade energy of the highest tier. Such an energy could only be found at unique locations. It was extremely hard to obtain one such energy. Therefore, all the nearby Saints were shocked to see the flux goldthorn energy appear here.

Xiang Shaoyun had relied on the flux goldthorn energy he had stored in the astral cosmos sea to break free of the blood-soaked cloth. Because of that, he had exhausted a considerable amount of the flux goldthorn energy in his collection. His heart ached at the loss.

"You bastard! It sure is expensive to kill you!" cursed Xiang Shaoyun furiously as he reached for Xue Buyi's corpse, trying to search the body for loot.

Suddenly, someone rushed over and reached for the corpse as well. The newcomer moved nimbly and instantly reached the corpse, but Xiang Shaoyun discovered him before the thief could steal it. After all, Xiang Shaoyun's saint soul was no joke. But before Xiang Shaoyun could do anything, a different person launched an attack at the thief. The thief couldn't even avoid the attack. The kick sent him flying and coughing up copious amounts of blood.

"You dare steal my nephew's spoils of war? Are you tired of living?" Tang Zhan's voice rang out.

The thief didn't dare to say anything and retreated noiselessly. With Tang Zhan's protection, he wouldn't be able to obtain Xue Buyi's corpse.

Tang Zhan did not give chase. He knew what the thief's goal was. He turned around and asked Xiang Shaoyun, "Shaoyun, are you fine?"

Xiang Shaoyun replied, "I'm good. It won't take long for me to recover."

He then grabbed Xue Buyi's corpse and took out everything in Xue Buyi's astral cosmos sea. The surrounding people were looking at Xiang Shaoyun with reverence when they saw that he was completely fine. And when they saw him looting Xue Buyi's corpse, they were filled with envy.

Someone walked up to him and said, "Young brother, are you willing to sell me Xue Buyi's saintforce token? I'm willing to offer a saint-grade medicine for the token."

As far as the people here were concerned, the saintforce token was the most valuable of Xue Buyi's belongings. After all, the blood-soaked cloth had already been destroyed by Xiang Shaoyun. Before Xiang Shaoyun could give a reply, several more people walked up to him and offered to buy the token.

"Young brother, I'm willing to offer a saint-grade object and 100 million high-grade spirit crystals for the saintforce token."

"You guys are insulting the saintforce token's value. I'm willing to offer two saint-grade objects. Young brother, if you're willing to sell it to me, you'll win Echo Valley's friendship as well."

"Two saint-grade objects and 200 million high-grade spirit crystals."

...

All these people were Saints. They were the representatives of different organizations. Some of them were here to protect the young geniuses of their organizations, while some were here to hunt devils.

Xiang Shaoyun had not expected the token to be so attractive. He soon understood the token's importance. He rejected the offers, "I'm sorry, but this is something I won with my life. I'm not planning to sell it for now."

The others were naturally unwilling to give up. Just as they were about to continue pestering, Tang Zhan stepped out and said, "Alright. Since Shaoyun has already come to a decision, stop bothering him."

The Saints knew that with Tang Zhan present, they wouldn't be able to force Xiang Shaoyun. They could only leave with disappointment. Even then, they did not give up and reminded Xiang Shaoyun to contact them if he changed his mind. Xiang Shaoyun sent everyone off politely, but he did not consider their offers. He intended to give the saintforce token to someone else.

After everyone left, Tang Zhan said, "Shaoyun, come with me. I have something to tell you."

"Can that wait, uncle? I have something urgent to take care of. I'll look for you later," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"Sure. I'll be at the usual place," said Tang Zhan.

Although Xiang Shaoyun had caught a lot of attention, with him making it clear that Xiang Shaoyun was his nephew, he was confident nobody would dare try anything against Xiang Shaoyun for now. After Tang Zhan left, Xiang Shaoyun scanned the crowd, searching for Dong Ziwan. However, Dong Ziwan had slipped away when he was surrounded by the Saints earlier.

After searching for a bit to no avail, Xiang Shaoyun sighed inwardly, Has she really left?

Xiang Shaoyun was a sentimental person. He had known Dong Ziwan for a long time. As the two had gone through dangers together in the past, he considered her an extremely close friend. When she expressed her feelings for him in the past, he did not want to accept them. But when he saw her disfigured face, his heart ached. He wanted to make it up to her, but from how she was behaving, it was clear she no longer needed him.

Devil Concubine said, "She left with some other people. I have someone tailing them. You'll see her again soon."

Xiang Shaoyun hesitated slightly before saying, "Forget it. Let her be. I believe she doesn't want to meet me for now. Give her some time."

"Are you sure?" Devil Concubine asked.

"Yes. We'll meet again in a year. At that time, I'll think of a way to heal her face. I'll be sure to exterminate the ones who had caused her such harm as well," said Xiang Shaoyun with a sinister look in his eyes.

"Is she really that important to you?" Devil Concubine asked.

"She is a good friend who had gone through some dangers with me before," said Xiang Shaoyun. "I need to meet Uncle Tang. We'll talk later."

He then left.
