CHAPTER 616: CHAPTER 615: THE PLAY MUST BE COMPLETE

"I do." Counting Three Lives looked at Lin Hao, almost drooling, then suddenly changed his tone, "But, can you just come with me?"

"What do you think?"

Lin Hao took a sip of wine, with a slight smile.

"Worst case scenario, I sell you for ten billion and give you three billion, how about that?" Counting Three Lives rubbed his hands excitedly, looking eagerly at Lin Hao, "Or, shall I give you four billion?"

"Five billion is the most I can do, a fifty-fifty split. Any more and it’s a loss," Counting Three Lives said, looking tense as if negotiating a deal.

"Scram."

Lin Hao glanced outside the window where Sunset Three Laughs was fighting vigorously against the Eight Weirdos of the Western Regions, and many of the buildings on the mountain top were shattered.

Lin Hao had no idea who this Counting Three Lives really was, and he wasn’t in the mood to banter with him.

But Counting Three Lives didn’t leave; he looked at Lin Hao with regret, still unwilling to give up, "Think about it, maybe you’re worth more than ten billion."

"Your business is really interesting, do you think I’m an idiot?" Lin Hao chuckled, a cold light flashing in his eyes, but then paused, "Did you just say they’re auctioning off Earthlings at the Thousand Needle auction?"

"That’s right. I heard there’re more than a dozen Kings," Counting Three Lives nodded repeatedly, "Those dozen Kings are worth at least three billion each. What do you think, interested in this big deal?"

"Yes." Meng Yi nodded his head.

Earthlings, still being auctioned off out there, and they’re experts at that!

That’s power, and upon seeing them, they must be rescued!

"Alright! Shall we go now? Once it’s done, we’ll split fifty-fifty, how’s that?" Counting Three Lives looked at Lin Hao with a delighted smile, as if he saw Lin Hao as a walking, human-shaped Primordial Stone.

Outside, Sunset Three Laughs was still fiercely fighting against the Eight Weirdos of the Western Regions, one against eight, without showing weakness. Although Sunset Three Laughs didn’t use True Qi, his moves shadowed the Combat Skills of the Three Religions and contained the essence of the Taoist Law. Not only was he fighting on equal terms, but he was also gaining the upper hand.

"Stop watching him; he won’t lose. But the auction is about to start soon, and if we’re late, we can’t even get in. You wouldn’t be thinking of breaking in, would you?" Counting Three Lives looked at Lin Hao as if he could read his thoughts.

"Is that not possible?" Lin Hao asked back.

"Of course not! In that place, Emperors are as common as dogs, and Great Emperors are everywhere. It’s impossible to break in by force. You want to charge in? Even if a God came, they might still fall here."

Counting Three Lives shook his head repeatedly.

Gods, referring to the Gods of the Divine World, even a God from the Divine World might fall, showing that it’s not a place where just anyone can cause a disturbance.

Lin Hao thought for a moment, then stood up, "In that case, let’s go take a look."

With the Divine Cauldron in his possession, Lin Hao feared nothing.

As for whatever game Counting Three Lives was playing, Lin Hao didn’t care. In any case, the Earthlings must be saved.

"Alright, follow me."

Counting Three Lives seemed to have made a huge deal, ready to take Lin Hao with him.

Just then, Ruan Xiangyu came out with a small piece of Jade Dishware, looked at Counting Three Lives, surprised, and then turned her gaze to Lin Hao.

"Here’s the information you wanted." Ruan Xiangyu seemed to have something to say, but hesitated upon seeing Counting Three Lives, and simply handed the Jade Dishware to Meng Yi.

This was a device similar to a book, that could display its contents when activated with Primordial Power.

Lin Hao took it, didn’t look at it, and just stuffed it into his pocket.

"When my friend wins, please tell him I’ve gone to the auction house." Lin Hao pointed outside, where Sunset Three Laughs was, and said to Ruan Xiangyu.

"Okay." Ruan Xiangyu nodded with a calm expression.

It was only after Lin Hao and Sunset Three Laughs left that Ruan Xiangyu’s face showed a hint of surprise, looking strangely at their departing figures.

The Thousand Needle Auction House was still quite far from the Stone Mountain where Lin Hao was. Sunset Three Laughs was treating, and they rode on a flying Exotic Beast that streaked across the sky like lightning.

In the very center of Thousand Needle Country.

There was a grandiose and immense Bald Mountain.

Like a ten-thousand-year ancient tree that had been sawed off, standing firm beside the great earth.

The mountain was lush and thriving, very prosperous.

"That’s the Thousand Needle Auction House."

In the sky, Sunset Three Laughs pointed at a grand building in the distance and said.

Without saying, Lin Hao had already seen it; the auction house was a tall building that looked like Earth’s large sports stadiums, with several big characters that were particularly attention-grabbing.

Just by getting close, Lin Hao could already feel that this place was full of powerful masters!

Emperors, Great Emperors, there were as many as there were hairs on a cow!

"The Heavenly Descending Divine Artifact’s whereabouts are still unknown. On that day, it was only seen descending from the heavens and then it disappeared just like that, so many people who came looking for the Divine Artifact are here."

Sunset Three Laughs seemed to know everything. As soon as they landed, he stuck closely to Lin Hao.

"Wait a bit, pretend to be an Earthling that I’ve captured, and I’ll take you to be sold," Sunset Three Laughs said with a grin, his eyes sparkling with the glint of a businessman excited by the prospect of profit.

Lin Hao’s face was expressionless, and he didn’t respond.

Sunset Three Laughs, however, was more direct, pulling out a pair of handcuffs from his possession, and looked at Lin Hao with a cheeky expression: "You need to wear this."

"Are you serious?" Lin Hao scoffed coldly, his gaze passing over the handcuffs.

These handcuffs were specially designed for Cultivators, equipped to suppress Primordial Power. Once shackled, unless one’s Cultivation is strong enough, they can’t break free.

"This is just a pair of handcuffs designed to shackle King Level Cultivators, just for show really, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble, you understand." Sunset Three Laughs with a sly merchant’s face, "Or would you rather put it on yourself?"

This Sunset Three Laughs came out of nowhere, intending to take Lin Hao to sell him off. While he seemed straightforward, Lin Hao intuitively felt that this person was not simple.

Firstly, he wanted Lin Hao to shackle himself, and provided a pair of handcuffs that could restrain King Level Cultivators.

He said it was to lessen troubles and Lin Hao knew that much himself.

However, all of this just felt quite awkward to do.

"I’m not fooling you, if you sense danger, you can break free from these handcuffs at any time. You’re not going to tell me that your Cultivation really hasn’t reached King Level, are you?" Sunset Three Laughs laughed heartily, as if he knew everything about Lin Hao.

Lin Hao took the handcuffs and weighed them in his hand.

Sunset Three Laughs was quite honest and didn’t play any tricks, the handcuffs were indeed meant for King Level Cultivators.

"Put them on. It’s good for you, good for me, good for everyone. After all, you’re not losing out," Sunset Three Laughs said laughingly on the side.

Lin Hao thought it over and didn’t really mind, so he put on the handcuffs himself.

The two walked through the streets, and indeed, it was not like before when he was with Sunset Three Laughs, they didn’t attract so much trouble.

"See? Although it’s a world of survival of the fittest, there are still rules. Now you are my slave, and as long as no foolhardy people are involved, in such a place, in such a setting, no one will give us trouble. But if you don’t wear these cuffs..." Along the way, Sunset Three Laughs wore a cheeky smile.
