CHAPTER 2941: CHAPTER 2936: BORROWING SCALES_1

Yang Chen asked in surprise, "Does Senior Yunqi need something from me?"

"No need? Kid, on the day when we brought Dao Ming Tianzun to trial, the story about you was revealed to all the Lord-Level Figures present by the Boundless Stage Experts. I was there too. I couldn’t believe how powerful you are, slaying several Boundless Stage Experts at once, and even getting rid of our biggest headache, the Seven Star Nether Lord. Hahaha, such great merit deserves a huge reward. After much deliberation, the Lord-Level Figures from all sides decided to reward you with 50 million Merit Points!" Yunqi Heavenly Venerate said.

"50 million Merit Points..." Yang Chen was suddenly delighted, "That much?"

This 50 million Merit Points was no small amount. Even when he had once accumulated Merit Points like crazy, it would still take quite a while to reach this amount.

With such a level of merit points, even if he wanted an Emperor Divine Tool, it would not be impossible after accumulating for some time.

Yunqi Heavenly Venerate laughed heartily, "Hahaha, let’s not mention the rewards for slaying those Ghost Venerables, even for killing this Seven Star Nether Lord, who is a current headache for us on the battlefield. It would be difficult for those King-level Powerhouses to ignore this."

At first, Yang Chen didn’t give it much thought. Is the Seven Star Nether Lord really worth that much?

"Moreover, you saved so many Boundless Stage Experts, these experts all spoke highly of you. Haha, in the Old Man’s opinion, 50 million Merit Points is not too much. It’s well deserved for what you’ve done." Yunqi Heavenly Venerate said with an amiable smile.

Yang Chen’s smile gradually appeared, but before it lasted very long, Yunqi Heavenly Venerate’s words took a turn, causing his expression of joy to freeze immediately.

"But, erm, because of your agreement with King Yueyin, he directly took 45 million of your Merit Points, leaving you with only 5 million Merit Points." Yunqi Heavenly Venerate said awkwardly.

Yang Chen’s mouth twitched, almost forgetting about this.

Thinking back, King Yueyin was really ruthless. 50 million Merit Points! It was estimated that with these Merit Points, he would be able to buy another Emperor Divine Tool after accumulating more.

And now? A staggering 90% was taken away, leaving only 5 million.

This was too horrifying.

Yang Chen sucked in a breath of cold air, cursing King Yueyin’s ancestors in his heart.

"Yang Chen, my friend, 5 million Merit Points is not a small number either. Normally, it would take us boundless experts a great effort to earn it. Look on the bright side; I’ve been looking for you for these Merit Points for a long time, and now that you’re here, it’s perfect." Yunqi Heavenly Venerate could see that Yang Chen was unhappy, and he understood, so he tried to console him.

Yang Chen shook his head slightly. Although his mood was depressed, he quickly recovered.

"Thank you, Senior Yunqi. By the way, what was the result of the trial on that day?" Yang Chen asked in confusion.

Upon mentioning the trial’s outcome, Yunqi Heavenly Venerate shook his head and sighed, "Let’s talk about it inside; many of the strong people who returned with you that day are among them."

Yang Chen had also sensed this and immediately followed Yunqi Heavenly Venerate into his residence.

As they entered the residence, they saw several strong people sitting cross-legged in the misty white fog, each with an angry expression.

"I really don’t know what these King-level Powerhouses were thinking, not executing Dao Ming Tianzun and leaving him alive. What’s the point?" These experts gritted their teeth in anger.

On the way, Yang Chen had already received the Merit Points given by Yunqi Heavenly Venerate.

Now that he had just arrived, he saw Mo Jing Heavenly Venerate and Nightingale Heavenly Venerate angrily discussing, their eyes burning with fire.

"Huh? Yang Chen, my friend, is here."

"Hahaha, Yang Chen, my friend, where have you been these days? Come and sit."

These Boundless Stage Experts had quite a good impression of Yang Chen, and immediately greeted him with smiles when they saw him coming.

Yang Chen clasped his fists and said, "Junior pays his respects to all seniors."

"Yang Chen, we have all experienced life and death situations together, there’s no need to be so restrained. Forget about seniority, just sit down." They all laughed heartily.

Yang Chen was no longer polite and sat down cross-legged.

Yunqi Heavenly Venerate stroked his beard and explained, "Yang Chen, my friend, as you just heard, about the disposal of Dao Ming Tianzun... sigh..."

Yang Chen asked puzzledly, "What happened?"

Nightingale Heavenly Venerate snorted, "Dao Ming Tianzun doesn’t have any other abilities, but he has been under the command of Cloud Highness Dharma King for many years. And Cloud Highness Dharma King is known for protecting his own. On that day, Cloud Highness Dharma King quarreled intensely with other King-level Powerhouses. In the end, the other King-level Powerhouses didn’t want to cause Cloud Highness Dharma King any embarrassment, so Cloud Highness Dharma King spared Dao Ming Tianzun’s life at the cost of all his merit points, and no further action was taken."

"Dao Ming Tianzun must be very happy now, trading his Merit Points for his life. Who wouldn’t agree to that? He doesn’t have too many Merit Points in the first place, and it won’t be easy for him to accumulate them again in the future, right?"

"It’s the rise of the petty people indeed."

These Boundless Stage Experts were all disgruntled, as they almost fell victim to Dao Ming Tianzun’s scheme and couldn’t just let it go.

"Everyone, let’s not dwell on this matter any longer. Dao Ming Tianzun’s reputation has turned bad due to this incident. His scandal is now widely known, and even if he didn’t get the punishment he deserved, he would still lose face in public in the future. I’m afraid that no Boundless Stage Expert would be willing to get close to him. This can also be considered his well-deserved punishment. Let’s talk about something happy instead." Yunqi Heavenly Venerate said.

"Brother Yun Qi is right." The other Boundless Stage Experts, hearing this, felt relieved quite a bit.

Nightingale Heavenly Venerate and Zhong Ming Heavenly Venerate looked at each other and tenderly said, "Yang Chen, we met King Yueyin some time ago, and he was very satisfied with your rescue of us. He wants to meet you too. May I ask what Brother Yang Chen plans to do next?"

"King Yueyin wants to see me? I happen to want to see King Yueyin too, so I’ll have to trouble the two of you to show me the way later." Yang Chen said, pausing for a moment, "But before that, there’s one more thing I need to ask Senior Yunqi for help."

Hearing Yang Chen’s change of tone, Nightingale Heavenly Venerate and the others looked at Yunqi Heavenly Venerate, wondering what Yang Chen wanted from him.

Yunqi Heavenly Venerate was also surprised and looked at Yang Chen, "Yang Chen, my friend, what do you mean by..."

Yang Chen said gently, "Senior Yunqi, during the trial, didn’t you bring out a scale, saying that the person who came to make trouble in our rear on that day was the owner of this scale?"

"Yes, that’s right. Yang Chen, my friend, what do you mean by...?" Yunqi Heavenly Venerate asked in confusion.

"Can I borrow this scale?" Yang Chen said.

This scale might very well belong to Peng Wanli. He didn’t think much of it at the time, but now that he had the Spirit Shadow Mirror, this scale belonging to Peng Wanli could come in handy.
