The cultivators present, upon hearing Cheng Xiaofan's words, rolled their eyes as if they had swallowed a mute pill, and no one spoke.
"..." Seeing this, Cheng Xiaofan felt utterly humiliated.
These people completely ignored him!
Wanting a horse to run without eating grass, and to run fast at that, where in the world could such a good deal exist!
"Are your lives more important, or is the dragon bone more important?"
Cheng Xiaofan angrily rebuked, frustrated by their lack of understanding, "Choose one of the two!"
"I'll give you three seconds. If anyone doesn't hand over their dragon bone, I'll leave immediately and let that female mutant negotiate with you about your next life!"
"One, two, three... I'm leaving!"
He was so angry!
These unperceptive fellows!
Did they really want to force me to ruin my persona and resort to snatching?
A blooming flower needs green leaves to support it, why can't these people be the green leaves!
Cheng Xiaofan turned around to leave.
"Master Cheng, we didn't find any dragon bones. Where can we present them to you!" shouted the powerfully built cultivator.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan turned back, grabbed the powerfully built cultivator by the arm, and with a loud slap, delivered a resounding blow.
"Are you playing with me?"
Cheng Xiaofan's eyes blazed with fury as he roared, "In your backpack, there is clearly a dragon bone hidden. Do you dare deny it?"
"Do you know what happens to people who deceive me under normal circumstances?"
"I will completely cripple their cultivation!"
The powerfully built cultivator was completely stunned.
How did he discover the dragon bone hidden in his bag?
Did he have x-ray vision like in the legends?
"I'll hand it over, I'll give it to you right away!" Fearing that Cheng Xiaofan would cripple him, the powerfully built cultivator opened his bag without any hesitation and handed the dragon bone he had picked up during the day to Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan took the dragon bone and stuffed it into his backpack.
His gaze swept over the others again and he said, "Among you, there are three others who picked up dragon bones. All of you, hand them over voluntarily!"
The dragon bones that belonged to him, Cheng Xiaofan would not let go of any of them.
Immediately, two people stepped forward, obediently took the dragon bones from their bags, and handed them to Cheng Xiaofan.
At this point, Cheng Xiaofan's sharp gaze fell on a cultivator in a corner, and he sneered, "What, you're unwilling to hand it over?"
"I'll give it, I'll give it to you right away!"
That person, as if electrocuted by Cheng Xiaofan's chilling gaze, immediately jumped up, "I'm sorry, Master Cheng, I wanted to get away with it, but I didn't expect to escape your discerning eyes. You are truly remarkable, truly remarkable!"
What could one do in front of a ruthless person?
Only grovel!
As he spoke, he respectfully presented a dragon bone to Cheng Xiaofan with both hands.
One does not strike a smiling face, and besides, the other's groveling skills far surpassed his own pampered pet dog, so what else could he do to him!
Cheng Xiaofan took the dragon bone, put it in his bag, and glanced at the people in front of him again, saying, "Those who have no dragon bones to hand over, each of you will transfer two million to my bank account."
"Anyone who knows me knows that on South Mountain Lake in Zhuxi Village, a single earthworm can sell for two to three million."
"Don't try to argue that your lives are worth less than an earthworm. I know cultivators are generally not short of money!"
Since he had made his intentions so clear, everyone present knew that these two million would definitely have to be paid.
"Alright, we'll pay. Please give us Master Cheng's bank account number!" immediately said a remarkably intelligent cultivator.
In front of such a ruthless person as Cheng Xiaofan, only by following along with the flow would one appear smart.
In such a peculiar situation, being too rigid could lead to a beating at any moment.
In fact, these people knew very well that normally, in front of ordinary people, they would rely on their martial skills and be much more arrogant than Cheng Xiaofan.
Faced with the other party's clear attitude, Cheng Xiaofan finally nodded with satisfaction and immediately gave out his bank account number.
Ding dong!
Ding dong!
Ding dong!
Instantly, the SMS notification sound on Cheng Xiaofan's phone rang in succession.
To Cheng Xiaofan's ears, this sound was like the most beautiful music in the world, truly making his heart bloom with joy.
After those people had transferred the money, Cheng Xiaofan pointed at the mutated person's corpse, and with a stern expression, said to them, "Absolutely do not touch the mutated person's corpse, or you will be in great trouble!"
"..." Everyone thought to themselves, are we out of our minds? Why would we touch that mutated person's corpse for no reason!
The powerfully built cultivator, completely subdued by Cheng Xiaofan's slap, now asked him obsequiously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cheng, has the mutated person's corpse developed corpse poison?"
Cheng Xiaofan said coldly, "It's not corpse poison, but people from the Jianghu Affairs Bureau will be coming to transport the body away."
"If you touch that corpse, who among you can bear the consequences?"
His words immediately instilled more fear in them. No matter how bold they were, they dared not act presumptuously in front of the people from the Jianghu Affairs Bureau.
After all, they were an official organization!
With that, Cheng Xiaofan turned and walked away.
Seeing this, a cultivator hurriedly asked, "Master Cheng, where are you going?"
Cheng Xiaofan replied without looking back, "It's still early before dawn. I want to find a quiet place on the island to rest well."
"Ah, you're leaving? What do we do if that female mutant comes?" the powerfully built cultivator said anxiously.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, "Don't worry, that female mutant won't be coming!"
Immediately, a cultivator asked, "Master Cheng, why won't the female mutant be coming?"
Cheng Xiaofan, who had already walked over ten meters away, finally turned back, a smile on his face, and said, "Because on this deserted island, there is no female mutant at all. How could she come?"
"..." What!
They were tricked?
Was there such an unprincipled master?
"Master Cheng, you..." The powerfully built cultivator, thinking of the dragon bone he had picked up being taken away just like that, felt his entire body convulse with heartache.
Cheng Xiaofan, however, said righteously, "Is what I did wrong? If I hadn't killed this mutant, do you think you would still be alive in this world?"
"If you have the guts, step forward and say you could have completely defeated that mutant!"
At this moment, none of the cultivators dared to say these words.
"Since you have nothing to say, then I'm leaving!" As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Xiaofan's figure flashed, and he was gone.
Gazing in the direction Cheng Xiaofan had disappeared, everyone present collapsed to the ground, their bodies limp.
They looked at each other, no one speaking.
They finally understood what a truly ruthless person was.
In front of a ruthless person, they were nothing, just scum!
