Outside the Lingyun Continent stronghold.
Jun Changxiao, sporting a slicked-back hairstyle, wearing a trench coat and sunglasses with a cigar in his mouth, came to a stop.
At this moment, if disciples were following behind him, paired with a song like “Chaotic World Superstar,” he could definitely bring out the aura of the Eternal Ages Sect’s sect master.
Unfortunately, neither Li Qingyang nor Xiao Zui Ji were present.
The one behind him instead was the Rose Empress.
This woman was tall and statuesque, stunningly beautiful, with the lofty aura of an empress. She immediately made Gou Sheng look like… one of those sunglasses-wearing, black-suited, stone-faced bodyguards.
This incident teaches us that you absolutely cannot share the frame with someone with a powerful aura, because you’ll easily become the green leaf.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao shrugged his shoulders.
The Rose Empress had forgotten the instructions from earlier and didn’t step forward to catch the coat, letting it fall to the ground with a “thwap.”
“…”
The corner of Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched slightly.
He’d reminded her nearly eight hundred times along the way—how could she drop the ball at the crucial moment!
“Oh!”
The Rose Empress, whose reaction arc was a bit long, picked up the trench coat, then brushed off the dust and draped it back on Jun Changxiao.
Big sister!
I told you to catch it and hold it in your hands before stepping back. Not only did you fail to do that, but now you’ve put it back on me!
“I wasn’t paying attention just now. Do it again,” the Rose Empress transmitted via voice.
“…”
Jun Changxiao nearly coughed up blood.
Forget it, forget it.
Gou Sheng adjusted his mindset and looked toward the trembling big shots walking out from the stronghold, saying, “Don’t speak. First, hear what Jun has to say.”
This guy used the same spiel from extorting Scarlet Sea Continent on Lingyun Continent. The other party was rendered speechless and could only use spirit stones to compensate. Before leaving, they had to repeatedly promise they would never dare bully newcomers again.
…
Third stop.
Holy Profound Continent.
However, just as Jun Changxiao walked up to their stronghold and before he could prepare to shrug off his coat, the Rose Empress stepped forward first and took it off for him.
What kind of coordination is this!
Can I even continue pleasantly showing off or not!
Whether he could show off didn’t matter—the key was getting the money that should be gotten and the compensation that should be compensated.
Going around in a circle, Jun Changxiao and the Rose Empress successively visited eight planes and obtained twenty million spirit stones.
Scarlet Sea Continent and Lingyun Continent were the main instigators, so they compensated more. The other planes were merely accomplices, so they gave fewer spirit stones.
In extortion, Jun Changxiao always followed the principle of knowing when to stop, never going overboard, because it was easy to be counterproductive and ultimately make the situation spiral out of control.
The Rose Empress following along never said a word, completely adopting an attitude of ‘I’m at ease leaving matters to my husband.’
Of course.
When it came time to divide the money, this woman became shrewd.
Jun Changxiao planned to give her thirty percent and take seventy percent himself. She disagreed and rolled her eyes, saying, “Fifty-fifty split.”
“Please.”
Gou Sheng naturally wouldn’t back down, saying coolly, “I helped you resolve the crisis. Taking seventy percent is perfectly reasonable.”
The Rose Empress said, “I already gave you payment. These resources must be split fifty-fifty between us. Besides, if not for me, could you have had such a good extortion opportunity?”
“…”
Jun Changxiao compromised, “I take sixty, you take forty.”
“Split it evenly,” the Rose Empress said.
“You…”
Jun Changxiao didn’t want to waste time over such small gains, saying impatiently, “Fine, fine, fifty-fifty it is.”
Thus, on the road to Vast Continent, the two divided the twenty million spirit stones.
In this aspect, the Rose Empress was truly meticulous, splitting all spirit stones of different qualities and different levels evenly, not letting Gou Sheng gain even the slightest advantage.
The system sighed, “Host’s wife knows how to manage a household.”
“Get lost.”
Jun Changxiao cursed and continued toward Vast Continent.
However, the Rose Empress said gravely, “This first-tier plane may not willingly give money.”
“Hah.”
Jun Changxiao said dismissively, “As long as it’s prey this seat has set his sights on, even if it’s an iron rooster, I can pluck every feather from its body.”
“Is that so?”
The Rose Empress smiled, “I’m looking forward to it.”
“Swoosh!”
The slicked-back hair on Jun Changxiao’s head changed to a mushroom cut.
It must be said, this guy just had good genes—he could perfectly pull off any hairstyle.
“Pffft!”
Seeing the mushroom-like head, the Rose Empress couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh.
…
Vast Continent stronghold.
Sitting in the seat of honor, Jia Haojie wore a worried expression.
Several Heaven-rank experts had gone to assist other planes in dealing with the Rose Empress, but Jun Changxiao had killed his way out halfway through!
Moreover.
The two were actually in a husband-wife relationship!
This was somewhat troublesome.
“Everyone.”
Jia Haojie’s face looked grim, “Do you have any good strategies?”
An elder said, “According to the intelligence this old man has collected, Jun Changxiao extremely enjoys extortion. Nine Heavens Continent once suffered from it.”
“Hmph.”
A rather hot-tempered old man said coolly, “Our Vast Continent is not Nine Heavens Continent. How could we submit!”
After several Heaven-rank experts informed them of Jun Changxiao’s visits, they guessed he was coming to extort money.
“Correct!”
An elder said coldly, “We Vast Continent are at least a first-tier plane. If we’re extorted by Jun Changxiao, how can we walk the jianghu in the future!”
“…”
Jia Haojie fell silent again.
“Sect Master.”
A gray-haired elder of high virtue spoke up, “Though Jun Changxiao’s strength is formidable, in the end he violated the rules. Even his stronghold was sealed by the Upper Realm. We need not fear him.”
“Furthermore.”
“That fellow also cannot possibly break into the stronghold.”
“Elder Shan’s meaning is?”
“If Jun Changxiao comes, this old man will first go meet him. If worst comes to worst, we’ll have everyone temporarily refrain from going outside.”
Jia Haojie understood.
Elder Shan was telling him not to compromise with Jun Changxiao!
“Good!”
He slapped the armrest and said coldly, “This seat wants to see if this conscience-devoid killing god actually dares to come extort my Vast Continent!”
…
Nine Heavens Continent.
Mo Shangsheng put down his teacup, finding it hard to believe, “So the Rose Empress’s husband is Jun Changxiao. No wonder she dares to be so unbridled in the Planar Battlefield!”
“How fortunate! How fortunate!”
“Thank goodness we didn’t follow Scarlet Sea Continent to deal with Soul Clan Continent!”
Regarding his previous decision not to participate, Mo Shangsheng felt extremely fortunate, while the corners of his mouth lifted in a gloating smile.
Having been extorted by Jun Changxiao left him feeling very uncomfortable all along.
Now that Vast Continent and Sharo Continent had provoked that guy, they’d definitely be extorted worse than he was.
Comfortable.
Truly comfortable!
“City Lord.”
An elder said, “Vast Continent cares greatly about face. I’m afraid they won’t compromise with Jun Changxiao.”
Mo Shangsheng shook his head, “If they compromise, perhaps they can save quite a bit of money. If they don’t compromise, just wait for that guy to extort them into bankruptcy.”
Because he’d had a very painful experience, he understood Jun Changxiao well.
…
“Step!”
In a region of flying sand, a foot suddenly appeared.
The camera followed upward, revealing Jun Changxiao wearing sunglasses with a cigar in his mouth, sporting a center-parted hairstyle, standing before Vast Continent’s stronghold.
“Swish!”
Lifting his head, sticking out his rear, shrugging his shoulders.
The trench coat fell gracefully. The Rose Empress caught it, draped it over her wrist, and stepped back to her original position.
Isn’t the coordination established now!
Jun Changxiao took out an amplifying megaphone and called out loudly, “Eternal Ages Sect Master Jun Changxiao has come to pay a special visit today!”
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a stream of light flew out from within the stronghold. Mountain-calling, sea-roaring air currents erupted, rapidly converging into a palm print that pressed over with space-shaking威力!
“Welcome ceremony?”
Jun Changxiao let out a cold laugh and stood there proudly.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
The auras of both sword and martial arts rolled around him like billowing clouds, then formed into a fist shape to meet the attack!
“BOOM—”
The sky exploded, space shattered!
“Swoosh!”
The palm print surging from the stronghold was crushed into nothingness on the spot. Elder Shan, who had executed the technique, retreated, barely managing to stabilize his body before he couldn’t help but spray blood. His gaze immediately filled with shock.
