Chapter 311: Chapter 310: Unexpected Encounter with Duan Youde!

Translator: 549690339

The Gloomy Sun Grass, a rare and famous treasure worldwide, cannot be cultivated but only spawned by nature, and its appearance invariably stirs up the entire world.

News of the Gloomy Sun Grass appearing in the Dragon Dive Abyss quickly spread, and the surrounding cities dispatched a considerable number of people to the vicinity of the abyss to investigate.

The Dragon Exploration Pavilion, which people from surrounding cities built as a dedicated platform for tracking people entering the Dragon Dive Abyss, occupied an ideal location.

The Dragon Dive Abyss harbors terrifying gusts of wind and requires a substantial foundation for anyone who wishes to enter. Besides, choosing a spot with relatively mild wind could be paramount.

The Dragon Exploration Pavilion is the must-pass road to the surrounding cities for all those ambitious to seize the Gloomy Sun Grass and dive into the Dragon Abyss!

Originally, this place was indeed like a pavilion, but as the news spread and more and more people arrived, it gradually turned into a distribution center.

Countless people from all over the place turned up: some simply for the spectacle; some to vie for the Gloomy Sun Grass, and some to do business.

Within a short period, the sounds of debates, hawking, and discussions could be heard all around— it was very lively and bustling.

A strangely dressed young man, seemingly having traveled from afar, was slightly taken aback by the sight before him and showed a puzzled expression. Soon, he inquired from a passerby.

“My friend, I’ve heard that there is Gloomy Sun Grass here. How come I can’t see it? And the Gloomy Sun Grass is an extraordinary treasure, why are these people…”

“So harmonious, right?!”

The man who was intercepted by him laughed and explained, “The Gloomy Sun Grass lies 800 meters beneath the Dragon Dive Abyss, an extremely horrifying depth where any ordinary God Spirit Level entering would be stripped of some of their powers…”

“But the Gloomy Sun Grass still has about ten hours to mature, so everyone is not in a hurry, and waiting to enter at that time…”

“Of course, some top-tier cultivators place great importance on the Gloomy Sun Grass and have already entered early to wait…”

Upon hearing this, Du Gang finally understood.

So, people here were divided into two groups. The first group consisted of the top-level powers who had submerged into the abyss early to guard the Gloomy Sun Grass, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

The other group was those stationed in this gathering place— their power might not be at the top level, but they were reluctant to leave. They planned to dive down and vie for it when the Gloomy Sun Grass was about to mature.

After some deliberation, Du Gang quickly decided to stay put for now. He’d dive in when the Gloomy Sun Grass was nearly mature.

“Rune Stones here! Cheap Rune Stones!”

As soon as he started strolling through the crowd, he heard a hawking call from far away.

Indeed, not far ahead, an old man had set up a stall selling things, which attracted a crowd of onlookers.

Du Gang, intrigued, walked up immediately.

At a glance, the old man’s offerings were pretty good, featuring not only Rune Stones but also Source Stones and even ready-made Source!

Upon checking the prices, they indeed cost a little less than the market rate.

A burly man coldly asked, “These items you sell won’t be fake, right? They’re so expensive outside, only your place sells them cheap?”

This was what everyone else around was wondering about.

The old man rolled his eyes and replied angrily, “Fake, all I sell is fake, forcing you to buy!”

After saying this, he began to mumble under his breath.

“If I hadn’t gotten these from my son to sell, would I sell at such a price…”

His voice was faint, like he was talking to himself, but everyone around him, all with extraordinary capabilities, heard his words clearly.

Suddenly, everyone’s eyes lit up.

They now had a judgment on the origin of these Rune Stones and Source Stones. Clearly, these were genuine items originated from the old man’s son, who must be either a big shot or a property manager.

Moreover, their keen eyes could tell that all the items laid out on the stall were real.

So, the items were not an issue, and for the trouble that the old man could stir up after selling them cheap, that was his business!

Suddenly, the onlookers, who were initially quiet, started to act.

“Give me ten Rune Stones…”

“I want twenty Sources…”

The once silent crowd, at this moment, seemed to be scrambling to snag a big bargain, buying them up in a great hurry.

Even Du Gang, who had been watching from the side, felt his heart burning with a desire to take advantage of the situation.

Just as he was about to pull out his money, his spiritual artifact suddenly made a soft humming sound. A divine light appeared, and the greed in his eyes disappeared instantly.

An alert!

On impulse, Du Gang stepped back and scrutinized the old man with a discerning gaze.

Quite coincidentally, or perhaps noticing something, the old man looked up at Du Gang.

That look…

Why does it look so familiar?

Du Gang was a little puzzled. In his heart, a sense of familiarity emerged, as if he had seen the man in front of him somewhere before.

He was clearly on his first adventure, his first time away from the Ancient City, where could he have met acquaintances?

Something’s not right…

Suddenly, he thought of a chubby figure.

It was a scammer he encountered in the Pangu Universe!

“Duan Youde!”

As soon as he thought of that figure, Du Gang instinctively blurted out the name.

The moment the name left his lips, he regretted it, knowing that he should be hiding his identity.

However, the old man at the stall trembled slightly.

This subtle tremor might seem normal, but was extraordinarily bizarre. Clearly, he was also very surprised.

It is him!

Upon seeing this, Du Gang sneered in his heart. It was really that deceitful guy!

Meanwhile, he scanned the crowd and eventually locked his gaze on the burly man who first questioned the old man.

Indeed, that burly man was also watching him. Their eyes met involuntarily.

This robust man was no other than his spiritual artifact. This guy, Duan Youde, again started playing solo, scamming people!

Furthermore, he felt that Duan Youde was stronger this time and his disguise more natural. If he hadn’t been fooled before, he wouldn’t recognize him now.

Well, well, you finally fell into my trap!

Du Gang sneered, made his way through the crowd, and advanced quickly without a second word.

“Hey, hey, hey, don’t push! You have to queue!”

The people whom Du Gang pushed aside protested for a while, and then they saw him do something strange.

“Old man, finally found you. When are you going to pay me back the million Divine Crystals you owe me!”

Suddenly, the people who were eager to buy became calm and began to watch the drama eagerly.

Fury was written all over the old man’s face, “What are you talking about? Who are you? I don’t know you, don’t make things up…”

Huh?

The crowd was puzzled by the old man’s response. Could it be that the two of them really don’t know each other?!

Du Gang smirked and communicated to him via telepathy.

“Duan Youde, you think you can still fool me? You’ve conned me out of tens of millions of Saint Crystals using the same tricks before, and stole a legacy that should have been mine. You’ve forgotten all about it?”

“Bullshit!”

Upon being exposed, Duan Youde did not attempt to hide any longer. He maintained a poker face and angrily cursed in a private message.

“In the past, I only fooled you out of a few tens of thousands of Saint Crystals, which are just a few Divine Crystals. And you’re asking me for a million Divine Crystals?”

“Also, who stole your heritage…”

Du Gang interrupted: “You snuck on South Mountain and tricked us. You returned to the palace, did you forget that?”

“Oh, I would have forgotten if you didn’t mention it. You bastard, pay me for my economic loss…”

Duan Youde protested irritably, “That palace of yours, it’s a trap, a prison, I almost didn’t get out. You owe me a compensation!”

The two bickered incessantly for a while.

“Enough talk. Now that I have you, either pay me back or I’ll expose you right now and let these furious folks deal with you!”

At this, Duan Youde subconsciously glanced around. Now, more than three to five hundred people were gathered to watch the spectacle, practically half the crowd was drawn over.

What if all these people beat me up…

Duan Youde shivered. Quickly, he discovered that Du Gang was in disguise and sneered, “What do I have to fear? Expose me if you can. Aren’t you also in disguise? Judging by your looks, you’re being hunted, aren’t you? Come on, let’s see whose life lasts longer…”

Hmph!

Du Gang snorted coldly and addressed the crowd, “Everyone, don’t be fooled by this guy. He’s a known swindler who tricked me out of a million Divine Crystals…”

“Stop, stop!”

Duan Youde immediately backed down just as Du Gang was about to finish his sentence.

He quickly conveyed, “Brother, let’s talk nicely, let’s discuss this slowly!”

“A million Divine Crystals?”

The surrounding people all sucked in a breath of cold air, looking in shock at Du Gang and the old man that Duan Youde was pretending to be.

Just they were trying to understand the whole story, they noticed that Du Gang had stopped speaking.

This made them incredibly curious, “Bro, continue speaking!”

“Yes, go ahead and tell us. If you’ve been cheated, just spill it out. We’ll stand up for you!”

But Du Gang ignored them, instead saying to Duan Youde, “Money, one million Divine Crystals…”

“Brother, stop joking. A million Divine Crystals! Even if you sold me, I wouldn’t be worth that much!”

Duan Youde was on the verge of tears, “Where would I get that much money? Additionally, I only tricked you out of fifty thousand Saint Crystals back then. How much is that when converted into Divine Crystals?”

Du Gang merely grunted, “I don’t care. You figure it out. If you don’t pay, I’ll expose you right now and we’ll see who falls first!”

Duan Youde felt helpless, he had never seen anyone this ruthless before.

From the looks of it, Du Gang was clearly being hunted, yet he was acting as if he was ready to go down with him…

Speechless, Duan Youde sighed, “Brother, we fought side by side before, don’t be like this…”

“Fuck off, when did I ever fight side by side with you? Pay up, or I’ll ensure that you can’t escape!”

Du Gang didn’t buy into it, this shameless, smoke blowing bastard, not only did he deceive people, but he also dug up their ancestors’ graves!

Duan Youde was nearly reduced to tears, “I really don’t have any money. Maybe this Rune Stone and Source Stone can be used as a payment?”

“What good are these fake things you’re giving me?”

“Who said that they were fake? No one will know as long as you and I don’t tell.”

Du Gang rolled his eyes, “Cut the crap. I never deceive. One million Divine Crystals, even one less won’t do…”

“But I don’t have any!”

Duan Youde was almost crying, “Brother, be reasonable, I have to have it for you to want it, right?”

Hearing his words, Du Gang abruptly remembered the technique Duan Youde used to escape from the True God level expert previously.

He coughed and via a telepathic message said, “If you don’t have money, you can also pay with other items…”

Upon hearing this, Duan Youde was overjoyed and immediately replied, “Okay, these Rune Stones and Source Stones, I’ll give them all to you!”

“I don’t want them!”

Du Gang said with a smile: “I want the technique you used to escape from the powerful True God!”

“What?”

Duan Youde was stunned. He hadn’t expected Du Gang to make such a request.

“You’re really daring!”

He really hadn’t met anyone like this before. That technique of his was obviously terrifyingly powerful, something that couldn’t be bought with just a few million Divine Crystals and yet Du Gang had just asked for it.

“I don’t care. Either give me a million Divine Crystals or give me the technique!”

Actually, from Du Gang’s perspective, it wasn’t that he really wanted it.

He had seen a long time ago, that Duan Youde, with his profound background and numerous secret techniques, many of which had been lost in time.

Whether he had inherited or stolen them from graves, the number of secret techniques he possessed were quite a few, well worth exploiting!

However, what Duan Youde said next almost made Du Gang jump.

“You want my secret technique… that’s not impossible

!”

Duan Youde smirked, “My secret technique isn’t something that any ordinary person can handle. Even if I give it to you, you may not survive the learning process!”

On hearing these words, Du Gang instantly remembered how Duan Youde had reversed time and escaped as if through time reversal.

He realised what he was implying might be true. Such techniques have very severe backlashes.

However, Du Gang declared confidently: “I am an Ancient God, mere backlash is nothing. Give it to me and see if I dare learn it!”

“An Ancient God?”

Duan Youde sneered coldly, “Alright, let’s settle on that. I’ll give you one secret technique and we’ll be even!”

Seeing his quick agreement, Du Gang started to feel uneasy.

Isn’t this guy going to give him a fake technique?

Duan Youde could tell from his expression what he was thinking and instantly flew into a rage.

“What do you take me for? If I say I will give you a secret technique, then it’s definitely true!”

He was furious, even the surrounding people could see they were communicating telepathically.

At this time, Du Gang felt an additional ring in his hand and instantly understood it was passed from Duan Youde.

Without further words, he directly transferred the contents of the ring to his own internal world, simultaneously immersing a part of his attention into it.

The ring was quite spacious with only a very ancient-looking book inside.

When Du Gang took out the book, he was certain it was real!

That’s because the incredible aura it held was terrifying.

It was an aura of a superior path, an aura that would lead to certain death if it was learned without great fortune!

“Can… Can I really learn this?!”
