Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 362 Who is the crazy woman you are talking about?

Yao Guang Realm, Demon Silence Mountain.

At the mountain peak, two men covered in wounds stood with long swords, staring tensely ahead. Strangely, there was nothing in front of them. Behind them on the ground, a bloodied young man spoke anxiously, "You two idiots, get out of here now!"

"Young Master, you go first! We'll cover the rear!"

"Young Master, we..."

Before the two servants could finish, a sinister cackle interrupted them. "Gyeheheh, what a touching scene of master-servant devotion! Nanling Lang, you could have enjoyed your life as the young master of the Nanling Family. Why did you have to come here looking for death?"

Nanling Lang's heart skipped a beat. He shouted, "If you have any courage, stop playing tricks and show yourself!"

"Oh? As expected of a young master from the Nanling Family. You've got some nerve!"

The mocking voice had barely faded when the heads of the two servants in front of Nanling Lang went flying, splattering him with blood.

"Young Master Nanling, we'd like to borrow something from you," an eerie voice suddenly whispered right in his ear.

His opponent was terrifyingly strong. He still hadn't figured out if they were human or ghost.

I have to act weak to have a chance of escape!

With that thought, Nanling Lang asked in a trembling voice, "Borrow... borrow what?"

"Your life! Gyeheheh..." The sinister laughter rose again, chilling him to the bone.

Just then, another voice spoke up. "Alright, stop scaring him. Let's get down to business."

Nanling Lang's heart sank. There was a third person hiding in the shadows, and he hadn't even sensed their presence. This was big trouble. The only good news was that they seemed to want something from him, not his life.

"What... what do you want?" Nanling Lang asked again. Before they could reply, he hurriedly added, "My father dotes on me. Ever since he returned from the Cloud Summit Heavenly Palace, his status in the family has risen even higher. Name your price! I'm sure my father will agree to anything."

This time, the speaker was direct. "Divine Crystals. We need Divine Crystals!"

"What? Divine Crystals?!" Nanling Lang's voice shot up an octave. He quickly feigned a relaxed tone. "Just Divine Crystals? No problem. How many do you want?"

"Are you certain your Nanling Family still has spare Divine..."

The voice was cut off by a cough.

"Five... 500,000!"

"500,000? Why don't you just rob someone?!" Nanling Lang yelled, leaping to his feet in shock.

"If that's too much, 50,000 will do."

"We don't have 50,000 either! Were your family's Divine Crystals also stolen?"

"Yes, they were—"

"You moron! Can't you see he's tricking you?!" an exasperated voice suddenly roared.

In that instant, Nanling Lang located them. There were two people in total: one hidden in the branches of an ancient pine tree, the other concealed behind a large rock.

"Wenren Jun! Helian Qi! Get out here!" Nanling Lang roared, his face contorted with rage.

The next moment, two young men about Nanling Lang's age appeared. The one called Wenren Jun scratched his head and asked, "How did you find us? I even used this treasure from my family." As he spoke, he waved a small, horn-shaped object in his left hand.

SMACK!

Helian Qi slapped him across the back of the head. "You pig-brained idiot! You're hopeless!"

"Alright, cut the act," Nanling Lang said, his gaze sweeping over the two headless corpses, his expression terrifyingly grim. "What are you two planning?"

"They're just two servants. If you want more, I can send you some later," Helian Qi said with a dismissive shrug.

Nanling Lang sneered. "Is this about the servants? If I hadn't been on guard, I'd be dead right now!"

Wenren Jun frantically waved his hands. "No, no! Helian Qi said all we want is Divine... mmph!" His words were cut short as Helian Qi clamped a hand over his mouth.

"Helian Qi, you've got some nerve," Nanling Lang said, a smirk spreading across his face. "You even manipulated Wenren Jun into stealing his family's special treasure! If the Wenren Family finds out, his father will definitely break all four of his limbs. This time, his mother won't be able to help him, since she has returned to her maiden home..."

Helian Qi's face fell. Wenren Jun was even more terrified, turning deathly pale and muttering, "What do I do? What do I do?"

"Don't worry," Nanling Lang said, suddenly pulling Wenren Jun to his side. "I'll help you."

At this, Helian Qi's face turned ashen. He forced a smile that was uglier than a grimace and stammered, "Brother... Brother Lang, I was just joking! I didn't mean any..."

Nanling Lang cut him off. "Divine Crystals. Give me 100,000 Divine Crystals, and we'll call this matter settled."

Helian Qi complained bitterly, "Brother Lang, you're putting me in an impossible position. Who in the entire Yao Guang Realm can come up with 100,000 Divine Crystals right now?"

"That madwoman! It's all that madwoman's fault!" Wenren Jun suddenly spat, his face full of hatred.

Helian Qi hastily chimed in. "Yes, it's all her fault! Brother Lang, we're on Demon Silence Mountain! Let's put our hopes on finding something here. Don't worry, wherever we need to explore, I'll take the lead!" He pounded his chest resoundingly.

Before Nanling Lang could agree, a new voice cut through the air. "Who is this madwoman you're talking about?"

"Who's there?!" Nanling Lang and Helian Qi shouted in unison.

Wenren Jun, however, just leaped into the air, screaming, "Aah! A ghost!"

The newcomer wasn't playing tricks. The space before them twisted, and a figure materialized out of thin air.

"Ning Xuan!" the three of them cried out in astonishment.

The newcomer was, of course, Ning Xuan, who had just crossed the Chaos Boundary Sea. He frowned. "You know me?"

"We do! We do!"

At that moment, not just the other two, but even the slow-witted Wenren Jun stared at Ning Xuan with glowing eyes. It was the look of a predator that had spotted its prey.

Ning Xuan paid them no mind and repeated his question, "Who is this madwoman you mentioned?"

"Wu Pianpian!" the three responded in unison.

Ning Xuan was surprised to hear this, but he simply nodded. "So it really is her." Then, he asked, "What did she do?"

At the mention of her, all three young men began gnashing their teeth. As they recounted the events with righteous indignation, Ning Xuan's expression slowly turned to one of stunned disbelief.

When they finished, his first instinct was to run.

That Wu Pianpian is a damned menace! The woman is completely unscrupulous! She tried to copy my methods but instead just relied on her mobile villa to ransack the entire Yao Guang Realm! What's most infuriating is that she somehow found a way to reinforce and upgrade the villa. When even Venerables couldn't so much as damage it, her arrogance grew even more unchecked! At the last moment, she nearly suffered a humiliating defeat in a situation where she should have easily won. And then, she sold me out! She told everyone that Ning Xuan would be here soon to settle all her debts.

Damn it all! How the hell am I supposed to pay that back? That conniving woman!

Ning Xuan's head throbbed. Seeing the looks in their eyes, he couldn't help but press a hand to his forehead. "Are your elders all idiots? That was obviously just an excuse! How could you possibly believe her?!"
