Chapter 69 - 69 0069 Ghost Poison Sect Members

69: Chapter 0069: Ghost Poison Sect Members 69: Chapter 0069: Ghost Poison Sect Members “Old Master, I don’t have the money right now, but I will repay you very soon.”

Chu Ge indeed had no money on him, but Mr.

Ouyang simply waved his hand: “What do you take me for, Chu?

You helped me win a fortune during the gambling stone event.

Not just ten billion, but even a hundred billion wouldn’t be enough to thank you.

Why would I be stingy over such a trifle?”

Meanwhile, the cloaked figure was continuing to raise the bid: “Twenty billion!”

“Hiss—” Everyone took in a breath of cold air.

A shoddy-looking broken statue could actually sell for a sky-high price of twenty billion!

Truly, the world of the wealthy was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Just as Chu Ge was preparing to raise his bid again, Mr.

Ouyang grabbed his hand: “This stone was entrusted to me by a friend to handle.

Since you, young brother Chu, are so fond of it, then I, an old man, will take the liberty to gift it to you!

No need for an auction.”

Chu Ge didn’t refuse Mr.

Ouyang’s generosity and nodded: “Then I must thank the Old Master.”

“Mhm.” Ouyang Yunbao nodded with satisfaction, quietly instructed someone beside him, and soon the directive was passed to the auctioneer’s ears.

“I apologize!” The auctioneer first gave an apologetic smile in Duan Congxing’s direction, then announced, “Due to some unexpected developments, we have decided to withdraw this stone statue from the auction and will proceed directly to the next item.”

Without any further ado, the statue was directly taken down and handed over to Chu Ge.

“Hmph!” This scene was obviously witnessed by the opposing side.

The cloaked figure scoffed coldly and immediately turned around, leaving the auction, followed by Duan Congxing and the young man.

After receiving the stone, Chu Ge also had no intention of staying any longer.

He apologized and stood up: “It’s getting late, and I don’t wish to impose any further.

If Mr.

Ouyang has no further need of me, I will take my leave.”

Mr.

Ouyang also stood up, politely saying, “The banquet is ready, Mr.

Chu, why not stay and dine before leaving?”

“No, thank you,” Chu Ge shook his head.

“I appreciate the Old Master’s hospitality.

I will visit another time when I’m free.”

Seeing that Chu Ge was set on leaving, Mr.

Ouyang didn’t press further and had Ouyang Die offer to see him back.

However, this time, Chu Ge declined Ouyang Die’s offer to accompany him and walked out of the Ouyang Family residence under the puzzled gazes of everyone.

He had a premonition that the cloaked figure would certainly not let the matter rest so easily!

……

The night wind carried a slight chill.

Chu Ge took a deep breath.

He had been in Shanghai for over half a month, but due to all the events that had occurred, he realized that this was actually the first time he had seen the city’s nightscape so clearly.

As a major international metropolis, the streets were still bustling with traffic even though it was approaching eleven o’clock at night, and further away were dazzling arrays of colored lights.

The road Chu Ge was walking on was a bit secluded, and at this time, hardly anyone could be seen.

A black sedan suddenly caught up from behind and abruptly stopped in front of Chu Ge.

As expected, the cloaked figure got out of the car, gestured, and the car continued driving forward, disappearing into the vast night.

“I knew you would follow,” Chu Ge said indifferently, looking at the cloaked figure.

“Which Sect are you from?” The cloaked figure fell silent for a while before asking in a deep voice.

Hearing this question, Chu Ge’s eyes flickered; the other party indeed came from one of those reclusive Ancient Martial Sects.

“Self-taught.”

The cloaked figure clearly didn’t believe Chu Ge’s words, but he didn’t press further and instead stretched out his hand, “You have no idea what that stone is truly for.

Give it to me; I’ll give you five hundred million, enough for you to live comfortably for a lifetime.”

“I have two questions for you,” Chu Ge sidestepped a few paces, leaning on the overpass.

“First, which Sect are you from?

Second, what use does this stone have for you?”

The cloaked figure hesitated for a while, but apparently, the impression Chu Ge made during the stone gambling left a deep mark, so he still answered, “I am a Ghost Poison Sect disciple.

Our Sect is hidden from the world, and I assume you’ve never heard of it.

However, what I want to tell you is that someone like me is only considered a Second Generation Disciple within our Sect!”

“Second Generation Disciple?” Chu Ge’s gaze sharpened; this cloaked figure’s strength was not inferior to Shi Weiyu’s, and even Shi Weiyu was a Direct Disciple of the Vajra Sect Leader.

From this, it can be inferred that the Ghost Poison Sect was probably much stronger than the Vajra Sect.

With a mention of his own Sect, the cloaked figure’s tone also carried a hint of pride: “There are countless masters in my Ghost Poison Sect, not to mention our Sect Leader, who is an Absolute Grandmaster that has reached the Innate Realm.

So, I advise you to not oppose me.”

“Innate Grandmaster?” Chu Ge raised an eyebrow; this was the first time he’d definitively heard of an Innate Grandmaster.

Even his Master, when he was alive, was only at the Peak of the Postnatal Realm.

“That’s right!” The cloaked figure nodded.

“With an Absolute Grandmaster at the helm, my Ghost Poison Sect would be considered a first-tier Sect even in ancient times!”

However, Chu Ge directly interrupted him: “Next question, this stone, what exactly is its use to you?”

Chu Ge judged that the other party probably didn’t know the stone’s real purpose; otherwise, it wouldn’t just be a mere Second Generation Disciple showing up, the Innate Grandmaster himself would have likely come.

The cloaked figure snorted coldly: “The Ghost Poison Sect also only received the news yesterday, that this stone idol actually contains an energy purer than ordinary Spiritual Energy.

If used correctly, it could allow several of our ordinary disciples to directly break through to the Postnatal Realm!

It seems you’re already in the Postnatal Realm; this stone is of no use to you.

Don’t lose your life over petty greed!”

However, Chu Ge let out a breath, it seemed they really didn’t know the true use of the stone.

Although he didn’t fear an Innate Grandmaster, if the Sect Leader truly took matters into his own hands, it would still be a problem considering he wasn’t of the Innate level.

Chu Ge was proud, but he wasn’t an ignorant fool who would put himself in danger.

“Where is the stone idol?

Hand it over.”

“Sorry about that,” Chu Ge spread his hands.

“I regretted it as soon as I got it, so I threw it away.”

The cloaked figure clearly didn’t believe him, laughing coldly: “Kid, I understand a young man’s greed, but don’t throw your life away over it!”

“Oh?” Chu Ge’s smile turned chill, “You mean if I don’t hand it over, you’re going to take my life?”

“That’s right!”

The cloaked figure took it for granted, his attitude evident.

From Shi Weiyu, it could be seen that Ancient Martial Sects still maintained the old ways—swift to act on grudges, with little regard for human life.

And from the sound of it, the Ghost Poison Sect wasn’t exactly a noble and upright Sect, naturally even less regardful of life.

And here, the cloaked figure advanced until he was less than five meters away from Chu Ge: “I’ll give you one last chance.

Hand over the stone idol, or your life.

Choose one.”

“I want both!”
