Open up and break into another world

The three experts of the Kunpeng Clan exchanged confused glances, completely bewildered, unsure when they had inadvertently offended this powerful figure.

“Senior, we truly don't know where we might have accidentally offended you!”

“Yes, Senior! Please enlighten us!”

“If we have truly offended you, we will definitely offer our sincerest apologies!”

The three experts of the Kunpeng Clan spoke cautiously.

There was no other way!

The mysterious senior before them was a powerhouse at the “Heavenly Supreme” realm! In the face of such a powerhouse, it was best to be submissive and not hesitate!

“Humph!” Xu Ming let out another cold snort. “If it weren't for your somewhat sincere attitude, the three of you would probably be three corpses by now!”

“Yes! Yes! Yes!”

“Thank you for sparing our lives, Senior!”

The three experts couldn't help but secretly rejoice and feel lingering fear—thankfully, they had been quick and decisive enough to submit!

However… how could the three of them have imagined that this “Senior” before them was actually Xu Ming, whom they had just mocked as “the sorrow of the weak”!

Xu Ming said coldly, “Do the three of you know who I am?”

“This… This junior's knowledge is shallow and truly does not know…” The three experts exchanged glances and said cautiously, afraid that their ignorance of this senior's “prestige” would once again provoke him.

Seeing the three people's reaction, Xu Ming couldn't help but laugh in his heart—of course, you don't know who I am! Not to mention you, even I don't know who I am!

Xu Ming had indeed not yet come up with a suitable identity for his disguised “Heavenly Supreme.”

However, on the surface, Xu Ming's expression grew even colder; even a light hum from him made the three of them tremble with fear.

“Then…” Xu Ming asked again, “Do the three of you know where the 《Kunpeng Nine Transformations》 technique you just obtained came from?”

Upon hearing 《Kunpeng Nine Transformations》, the three experts of the Kunpeng Clan immediately became vigilant—they were even willing to die, but the technique had to be delivered to the clan!

This technique was too important to their clan!

With the 《Kunpeng Nine Transformations》, the clan had hope of rising!

At this time, Xu Ming continued, “This technique was consigned by this尊 at the Divine Feather Auction House! As far as I know, my technique was bought by a disciple of the Fire God Sect named 'Rage Blood'; but just now… I saw you kill 'Rage Blood' and seize the technique!”

The expressions of the three experts of the Kunpeng Clan changed again upon hearing this.

“Humph!” Xu Ming continued, “If other experts were to find out that Rage Blood bought the technique I was selling, and in the blink of an eye, he was killed and robbed, then… where would I put my face!?”

… …

Having heard Xu Ming's words, the three experts of the Kunpeng Clan finally understood where they had offended the senior before them—simply put, they had killed "Rage Blood" and seized his treasure, causing Xu Ming to lose face!

This situation was normal!

Some powerful figures with extremely strong self-esteem would indeed be very annoyed and feel they had lost face if they saw the person who bought their treasure being killed and robbed in the blink of an eye!

But…

The three experts of the Kunpeng Clan felt that something was not right.

Yes!

Something was a little off!

But regardless of whether something was off or not, it was always right to beg for mercy first!

The three experts of the Kunpeng Clan also wanted to know what to do in this situation…

“I'll give you two paths to choose from!” Xu Ming said lightly.

“Please speak, Senior!” The three experts quickly perked up their ears.

“The first path… I'll accompany you to the Fire God Sect and return the 《Kunpeng Nine Transformations》 in person! You will return the technique to the Fire God Sect and offer an apology!—That way, my face will be saved!”

Return the 《Kunpeng Nine Transformations》 to the Fire God Sect?

And offer an apology?

How was that possible!

“Senior, what about the second path?”

“The second path…” Xu Ming smiled strangely, “The second path is even simpler—I'll directly kill you, and send the 《Kunpeng Nine Transformations》 and all the treasures on your bodies to the Fire God Sect! That way, my face can also be saved!”

Xu Ming kept talking about "face"!

I am a "Heavenly Supreme" powerhouse!

My face is very important!

Now that you have disrespected me, I absolutely cannot tolerate it!

And at this time…

The three experts of the Kunpeng Clan finally realized what was wrong—the senior before them kept talking about “face.” But… this senior had just witnessed them killing and robbing! Since this senior cared so much about face, why didn't he step in to stop them when they were killing and robbing?

If he had stopped them just now, wouldn't his face have been saved?

“Could it be… the drunkard's intention is not in the wine!?”

The three experts finally understood—this senior kept talking about “face,” but he didn't actually appear for the sake of face! Since it wasn't for face, then it was… for “money”!

It's just that, with the identity of a “Heavenly Supreme” powerhouse, he was too embarrassed to directly say “money”!

The three experts of the Kunpeng Clan suddenly understood the key point and said, “Senior, we really didn't know that this technique was consigned by you; otherwise, even if you gave us a hundred guts, we wouldn't dare to kill 'Rage Blood' and rob him! Senior, how about this—the three of us originally wanted to bid for this 《Kunpeng Nine Transformations》 technique, but because we didn't have enough 'Cosmic Origin · Truth' on us, we were outbid by 'Rage Blood'! Now, we are willing to buy this technique from you for the price of one hundred and fifty 'Cosmic Origin · Truth'; as for 'Rage Blood'… we didn't kill and rob him, we just had a grudge with him, a normal vendetta! That way, wouldn't it not affect your face, Senior?”

The three experts of the Kunpeng Clan said a lot, but they actually just wanted to… buy their lives with money!

Xu Ming naturally heard that there were loopholes in the three people's words, but… did that matter?

It didn't matter!

What mattered was—Xu Ming was here to rob the three of them, and the three of them accurately understood Xu Ming's intention! That was enough!

In fact, Xu Ming even wanted to praise the three of them: Their awareness was quite high!

“This…” Xu Ming stood with his hands behind his back in mid-air, with a profound and unpredictable posture, and said lightly, “Alright then! I'll just give you face and make friends with your Peng Demon Island!”

He had robbed them, and it was equivalent to giving them face—Xu Ming felt that this robbery was quite successful!

“Thank you, Senior! Thank you, Senior!”

The three experts quickly took out one hundred and fifty “Cosmic Origin · Truth” and presented them to Xu Ming; then they ran away in a puff of smoke, afraid that Xu Ming would change his mind.

Xu Ming obtained another one hundred and fifty “Cosmic Origin · Truth”, and a smile couldn't help but curl up at the corner of his mouth: “Mock me?—This is the price of mocking me!”

If the three experts of the Kunpeng Clan knew that the real reason they offered one hundred and fifty “Cosmic Origin · Truth” was just because they had previously mocked Xu Ming, they would probably really want to cry but have no tears.
