Chapter 1534: Chapter 1534: Go Beg Him, Use a Honey Trap
If someone else had thrown out this talisman inscription, they would have already taken action and killed the other party.
But the one who threw out the talisman was Yun Feiyang, and although Yun Feiyang’s prestige in the Royal Family was not as high as the other princes, he was still a member of the Royal Family.
The Royal Family’s dignity must not be violated. If they killed Yun Feiyang in front of Yun Kaige, Yun Kaige might thank them, but he would inevitably retaliate later, and they would not escape the Royal Family’s pursuit.
After all, the Royal Family princes can openly compete for the throne, but they absolutely do not allow others to harm the royal bloodline.
Of course, the means used in the fight for the throne are a different matter.
Though the crowd harbored resentment in their hearts, Yun Feiyang quickly stepped forward to apologize and compensate those who were blasted away, which finally eased the anger of the crowd.
In the distance, the members of the Black Yan Hall, including Hei Xuan, Fengchi, Fu Yi, and Goudan, saw the distant explosion, and their expressions instantly became extremely ugly.
Previously, when they ambushed near the Yang Flame Island preparing to attack Lin Chen, they suffered from this kind of explosion attack, and though several of them escaped, many Black Yan Hall martial artists died in this explosion.
Now they finally understand that the source of the attack on their comrades, which caused them great damage, was this fiery red crystal stone.
In the distance, Tan Yu stared at the explosion of that Flame Explosion Talisman, his face also looking grim.
Previously, he too suffered from an explosion attack from such fiery red stone and almost lost his life, having to employ two life-saving cards to barely survive.
Hence, he harbors extreme hatred for Lin Chen and this fiery red stone. If the talisman inscription had been thrown by someone other than Yun Feiyang at this moment, he would have immediately taken action to deal with the person who threw the talisman.
However, the one who threw the talisman was Yun Feiyang, a member of the Royal Family, so even though the anger in Tan Yu’s heart was surging, he could only endure it.
Yun Kaige, Shi An, Wang Shuo, and others also showed changed expressions as they witnessed the fiery red stone hurled by Yun Feiyang, shocked to the core within.
Firstly, the explosive force of this fiery red stone was so terrifying that even with their strength, they would dare not withstand it head-on; they certainly couldn’t withstand several explosions.
Secondly, they were astonished that this fiery red stone was indeed the Flame Crystal Stone they harvested beneath the Fire Sea.
However, the Flame Crystal Stone that Yun Feiyang threw now was somewhat different from what they collected, being inscribed with runes, evidently crafted by Lin Chen through spiritual formation means into a talisman inscription.
It’s important to remember that Lin Chen collected an unknown quantity of such Flame Crystal Stones from the Fire Sea’s depths.
If all were crafted by Lin Chen into talisman inscriptions with such immense power, then Lin Chen would hold countless potent aces.
If Lin Chen used these talisman inscriptions against them, they would surely find themselves in dire straits.
Yun Kaige and the others initially thought that Lin Chen, upon leaving the Yang Flame Island, would be powerless to control the Fire Sea to conjure a Fire Dragon using the Fire Control Technique, thus dimming Lin Chen’s threat and relegating him to a mere ant they could crush at will.
However, as it turns out, they were gravely mistaken; Lin Chen still wielded power enough to threaten them, so even without Zi Ling present now, they dare not act rashly towards Lin Chen.
As the power of that Flame Explosion Talisman dissipated, the defensive shield in front of the giant stone house in the distance remained intact, leaving the stone house completely unharmed.
Only now did Lin Chen understand why so many people gathered here yet hadn’t climbed the mountain, unsurprisingly being blocked by this defensive guard at the foot of the hill.
"Junior Brother Lin Chen, your talisman inscription is truly extraordinary, so powerful and entirely worth the price, fifty thousand Low-grade Spirit Crystals apiece, not expensive at all," Yun Feiyang said calmly, giving Lin Chen a thumbs-up as if praising his talisman inscription.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Caiyun’s face instantly turned blue.
"Yun Feiyang, what do you mean? Are you here to act as a shill for Lin Chen?" Zhang Caiyun stared at Yun Feiyang, hot-headed as she was, disregarding Yun Feiyang’s status as a prince, and directly shouted angrily.
After all, she originally planned to haggle with Lin Chen to buy some Flame Explosion Talismans at a lower price, but Lin Chen’s starting price had been quadrupled, clearly with room for negotiation.
Yet Yun Feiyang immediately declared the price not expensive, leaving her uncertain about negotiating with Lin Chen.
Over these two months, the entire Zhang Family’s disciples amassed material worth merely around eight million Low-grade Spirit Crystals.
They had just given Lin Chen one million, yet if they bought talisman inscriptions at fifty thousand Low-grade Spirit Crystals apiece, little would remain.
"Zhang Caiyun, don’t push your luck; I haven’t even settled the bill with you yet. If you find it expensive, buy it if you want," Zi Ling unhappily uttered as Zhang Caiyun attempted further price pressure.
In Zi Ling’s view, a talisman inscription capable of a Creation Realm expert’s strike is not expensive at fifty thousand Low-grade Spirit Crystals and could easily auction for a hundred thousand outside, equating to the strike power of a Creation Realm expert.
Moreover, it requires no powerful cultivation from the user, capable of activation merely with spiritual power, essentially a simplified version of a powerful magical treasure.
Thus, like Lin Chen, who seeks fortune, Zi Ling won’t allow Zhang Caiyun to lower the price.
Yun Feiyang stood there, awkwardly scratching his head, unexpectedly causing a dispute between two females with a single comment, momentarily at a loss for what to do.
"Hong Ying, go plead with Young Master Lin Chen, see if he could be a bit lenient and sell us some at a lower price."
"How about the beauty trap, do you get it?" Zhang Caiyun disregarded Zi Ling, shifting her gaze to Zhang Hongying and stated calmly.
With Yun Feiyang’s statement, Lin Chen, likely driven by greed, would resist a price reduction, but perhaps Zhang Hongying appealing could yield hope.
After all, Lin Chen’s attitude towards Zhang Hongying was somewhat cordial, much better than towards herself, which Zhang Caiyun knew stemmed from her previous unkindness towards Lin Chen.
Otherwise, if Lin Chen had a favorable impression, she would have used the beauty trap herself.
"Young Master Lin Chen, hello, just now that fiery red stone, fifty thousand apiece, right? Could you sell me ten pieces, I have materials valued at five million Low-grade Spirit Crystals."
