Tang Zhen showed no mercy and directly exposed the plan of the weathered elder.

Regardless of the background of this weathered elder, Tang Zhen would not be the least bit courteous since the other party wanted to scheme against him.

It didn’t matter if he was used. This proved that he had enough value, and could also be used as a condition for exchange.

However, if the other party wanted to take advantage of him and didn’t want to give him any benefits, that would be too shameless.

Since the other party was like this, Tang Zhen did not have the mood to play along.

Of course, the premise of doing so was to thoroughly understand the other party’s sinister intentions, and then have enough courage to bargain with the other party.

Try to take the initiative so that you won’t be led by the nose by others.

The two of them looked at each other. After a dozen breaths of silence, the old man slowly spoke.

“It’s just as you said. I wanted to kill an ancient sovereign. However, due to some special reasons, I was unable to do so.

He had tried a few times during this period, but he had not succeeded. Now, he had reached a critical juncture.

The ancient sovereign must be killed. If you can do it, I’m willing to pay you a satisfactory driver.”

The experienced old man did not hide anything. He told Tang Zhen his motive. There was an irreconcilable enmity between him and the ancient sovereign.

you can tell me what price you’re willing to pay first, and then I’ll think about it.

Tang Zhen’s current performance was like a merchant who haggled over every single detail. This was indeed the case in the transactions between cultivators.

Especially between cultivators who were unfamiliar to each other, there was no such thing as friendship. Everything was purely an exchange of benefits.

“If you can kill the Lord, I can give you 50 kilograms of golden bone marrow as a reward. Its value is incalculable.”

The reward that the weathered elder offered was indeed very tempting, even unbelievable.

Even a drop of golden bone marrow from an ancient creature was enough to move a peak-level cultivator, let alone a hundred pounds.

Even a supremacy cultivator would not be able to reject such a temptation and reward.

However, when he looked at Tang Zhen again, he did not seem to be satisfied.

“If these ten thousand Zhang Long ancient creature bones are kept fresh, the total amount of golden bone marrow would be at least a hundred tons.

I helped you kill the ancient sovereign, but you’re not even willing to let me drink the soup. Is this your so-called sincerity?”

Tang Zhen softly laughed. His disdainful expression became even denser. At the same time, he gently shook his head and sighed.

“A hundred Jin of golden bone marrow. This price is sincere enough. You must know that you’re just accepting the job.

No matter how much wealth the target has, it has nothing to do with you.

If you wanted to participate in the competition, you might be able to get more spoils of war, but you would have to face more danger and competition.

At the same time, there’s a prerequisite, which is that we must be able to bring wealth out of this world.”

The weathered elder slowly said. This was a warning to Tang Zhen.

No matter how attractive the bounty was, it must be kept in one’s pocket and be qualified to enjoy it.

“Your words do make some sense, but I feel that you can set the reward a little more generous.

After all, other than me, you don’t seem to have any other suitable choice.”

Tang Zhen’s tone was filled with confidence. He was certain that the other party had been observing him for a long time. Only then did he take the initiative to look for him.

The main reason might be related to the divine runes of rules.

As the creator of the divine regulation talisman, Tang Zhen was all too clear about the might of such a weapon. It was definitely the best weapon for sneak attacks.

The weathered elder had seen through the extraordinariness of the divine runes. Therefore, he had negotiated with Tang Zhen in the hope that he could help him hunt down the ancient Lords.

To put it bluntly, he was using an empty promise to rope in a helper for himself. If Tang Zhen were to be killed, the weathered elder would definitely not lose anything.

His plan was pretty good. However, how could Tang Zhen fall for it? if the other party wanted him to act, they must give him sufficient benefits.

Tang Zhen immediately stated his conditions when he thought of this.

“It’s not a problem for me to fight, but you have to pay me 50 kilograms of golden bone marrow first. After you succeed, you have to pay me ten times the amount.

If there really is an inheritance of an ancient creature, I hope to be able to comprehend it. Whether I can obtain it or not is entirely up to the will of the heavens.

These are my conditions. If you can agree to them, we can sign a contract.

If you still want to haggle, then don’t waste your time.”

After hearing Tang Zhen’s conditions, the weathered elder fell into silence.

“Are you sure that your value is equivalent to a hundred Jin of golden bone marrow?

If you’re perfunctory or cowering, then wouldn’t I have suffered a great loss?”

Tang Zhen laughed out loud when he heard this. He looked at the weathered elder and said,”You said it yourself. If I can’t kill the ancient Sovereign Lord, I will die in this world sooner or later.

You also threatened me that I might not be able to leave this world after getting the benefits.

Both the ancient Lords and you have the means to seal this world, so I don’t dare to be half-hearted.

If he didn’t want to be killed by the ancient sovereign, he had to find a way to kill him.

If I work with you, I can get a reward and leave this world safely. Isn’t that the best choice?

If he chose to be perfunctory about this matter and ultimately caused the operation to fail, it would be the same as harming himself.

If you don’t even have this bit of trust, there’s no need to continue the deal between us.”

The initiative of the deal was in Tang Zhen’s hands. If the weathered elder rejected his conditions, this negotiation could be stopped immediately.

Tang Zhen had his own means to leave this world and would not be frightened by the words of the weathered elder. This also gave him enough confidence during the negotiation.

The weathered elder was different. From his attitude and what he had said earlier, he knew that the situation was very urgent and there was no other choice.

Tang Zhen was definitely not the only person that the weathered elder was trying to contact. It was also to increase the chances of success.

However, Tang Zhen was certain that he definitely possessed a rather important weight. Other cultivators simply couldn’t be compared to him.

It was precisely because he was certain of this point that Tang Zhen dared to raise conditions. Moreover, his attitude was so resolute and decisive.

If the other party didn’t agree, Tang Zhen wouldn’t have the slightest hesitation and would directly turn around and leave.

There was another reason. Tang Zhen had already planned to participate in this matter. When the time came, he might use the divine regulation talisman.

Now that someone had taken the initiative to visit and was willing to reimburse Tang Zhen’s losses, this was naturally a good thing that he could not ask for.

After Tang Zhen made his request, both sides fell into silence again.

“Since you’re so confident, how can I not bear to?”

The weathered elder sighed softly. In the end, he still accepted Tang Zhen’s conditions.

Perhaps this weathered elder had really taken a fancy to the divine regulation talisman, or perhaps he was just fearless.

Tang Zhen was just a chess piece of his. Even if he obtained the Golden bone marrow, he would not be able to bring it out of this world.

Therefore, no matter how much he gave, it would still return to his hands in the end. It was simply impossible for Tang Zhen to obtain even a single cent.

Tang Zhen could more or less guess the thoughts of the experienced old man.

No matter what the other party was planning, as long as the Golden bone marrow fell into Tang Zhen’s hands, it was impossible for him to hand it over.

With just the Golden bone marrow, Tang Zhen’s trip was not in vain. He could leave this world at any time.

However, if there was a contract, Tang Zhen would definitely abide by the agreement and would definitely not go back on his word.

Leaving rashly would not only violate the contract and suffer the backlash of the rules, but it would also miss the opportunity to obtain the inheritance.

Since he was involved in this incident and had to detonate the divine rune of rules, he naturally had to maximize his benefits.
