1100. Trade Clan Pattern
"Mid-level Heavenly Rank, Nine Tribulations Thunder Spear!"
Although Lei Miao was somewhat stunned by the battle puppet's brutal and unreasonable attacks, he still maintained a high level of composure, using his most proficient fighting technique while being knocked away. The commotion he caused at this moment was far greater than that of Lei Dong and Lei Jingxiao's battle.
However, Xiao Yan's battle puppets didn't care about any of that. They didn't dodge. As long as it was Xiao Yan's command, they had to carry it out without any compromise, using their iron tower-like bodies.
As the battle puppet was activated, the surrounding battle energy condensed into a fiery ancient dragon!
The massive lightning spear unleashed by Lei Miao hurtled towards him, but the battle puppet met the spearhead head-on, shattering the most powerful first wave of attack with its bare iron fist. The subsequent waves of lightning were utterly unable to penetrate the physical defenses surrounding his body, and he moved freely forward within the range of Lei Miao's attack.
"How...how could this happen?"
Seeing that her powerful attack had failed to inflict even the slightest damage on the battle puppet, Lei Miao's mind finally went into disarray.
The next moment, the dark figure was already in front of him. In that moment of distraction, Lei Miao's leg was grabbed by the dark figure, and the iron-like hand held Lei Miao's leg tightly.
Layers of lightning erupted from Lei Miao's body, yet they couldn't budge the dark figure an inch. Then, Xiao Yan's battle puppet's right hand, clenched into a blade-like shape, was about to strike directly at Lei Miao's pupils. If this move landed, Lei Miao would definitely suffer severe injuries.
"I give up!"
Lei Miao's voice rang out, begging for mercy, but before he could utter those words, the war puppet's actions had already ceased.
Xiao Yan knew very well that his purpose in coming here was to obtain the Lei Clan's clan emblem; a complete break with the Lei Clan was not what he wanted. The reason he was going to fight Lei Miao was because Lei Miao was unyielding and wouldn't give Xiao Yan a chance to trade. He just wanted to use the power of this battle puppet to give the Lei Clan a warning.
Xiao Yan was aware of the Lei Clan's inherent pride; they might not genuinely respect the Guiyuan Mansion. Although Yan Jin was already a nine-star Dou Sheng, they still felt that the Lei Clan, Yao Clan, and Shi Clan were collectively stronger. Xiao Yan, however, wanted to show them the consequences of underestimating him and the Guiyuan Mansion through his actions.
At this moment, Xun'er appeared by Xiao Yan's side immediately, giving him a beautiful smile and a thumbs-up.
Then Xun'er said in a smug tone, "Elder Lei Miao, has my brother Xiao Yan finally shown his strength?"
Lei Miao had also sustained some injuries in the fight with the battle puppet. Although they weren't serious, she was still quite embarrassed. Panting heavily, she said defiantly, "We were talking about his own strength. He used a puppet, so what does that count as?"
"My brother Xiao Yan's puppet was crafted by himself and bears his soul imprint; it belongs entirely to him. How can Elder Lei Miao not accept this?"
Lei Miao wanted to say something more, but then another person stepped forward from behind. It was clear that Lei Miao couldn't continue communicating, so it was his turn to speak first.
"Lord Xiao Yan, we witnessed the battle, and your puppet is indeed formidable. Therefore, the trade is no problem. We've already discussed this matter thoroughly. We've heard you possess a considerable number of Bodhi Seeds. If you truly desire this Thunder Clan emblem, three Bodhi Seeds will suffice in exchange. What do you say?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan burst out laughing: "At this price, you might as well just rob us."
"This clan mark is, after all, one of the most important core elements of the Lei Clan. Guiyuan Prefecture has many talented people and extraordinary individuals, including a great figure like Xiao Xuan. Once this Lei Clan clan mark is given away, it might be deciphered by you."
"Of course, as long as Lord Xiao Yan is willing to make a deal, my Lei Clan does not forbid it."
Xiao Yan now only has two Bodhi seeds left, but even if he did have more, he wouldn't really make that sacrifice for the Thunder Clan's emblem.
"Three Bodhi seeds are impossible. One is fine. We'll trade if you're willing, otherwise, this matter is off." Xiao Yan had completely lost his temper with these old guys from the Thunder Clan. If they really thought he was a sucker just because he had a considerable number of Bodhi seeds, Xiao Yan would simply give up on the Thunder Clan's clan mark.
The man shook his head: "Two!"
Xun'er couldn't help but ask again, "Does things really have to escalate to this point?"
The elder of the Thunder Clan immediately replied, "Public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters. I believe the Thunder Clan's clan emblem is worth this price!"
Xun'er wanted to argue, but Xiao Yan stopped her, not wanting her to waste any more time on the matter.
"Alright, the bodhi seeds are right here!"
Seeing that Xiao Yan had actually agreed to his price, the elder of the Lei Clan immediately showed an undisguised look of joy in his eyes. Even Lei Miao, who had just been injured, couldn't help but smile behind him. Exchanging two Bodhi seeds for the Lei Clan's clan emblem, this deal seemed like a win for them no matter how you looked at it.
They then immediately began to draw the clan emblem for Xiao Yan. There were no unnecessary difficulties during this process, after all, Xiao Yan had already paid a high price. They were even worried that Xiao Yan might change his mind, so they did their best to provide the best service in the aftermath.
Lei Miao even added that if there were any problems with the clan emblem, Xiao Yan could come to the Lei Clan to have it checked at any time during the time of the Pharmacopoeia. Xiao Yan, however, didn't give her a friendly look and simply left with Xun'er.
……
"Brother Xiao Yan, the Lei Clan has gone too far this time."
After leaving with Xiao Yan, Xun'er couldn't help but say that she was even angrier than Xiao Yan himself. As a former prodigy of an ancient clan, she understood the value of her clan's emblem very well, and it was absolutely not worth Xiao Yan paying such a high price for it. Not to mention, they were now on the same side against the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan, and the Thunder Clan's actions truly showed no mercy whatsoever.
However, she still chose to unconditionally trust Xiao Yan. After Xiao Yan accepted the Lei Clan's offer, she did not question his actions. But after the two left, she still expressed her dissatisfaction.
Xiao Yan patted Xun'er's head reassuringly: "We know why they're making things difficult for us. Since they don't care at all, then we don't need to show any mercy either."
"They want Bodhi seeds, we'll give them to them, and then we'll make them bleed badly!"
Xiao Yan wasn't one to suffer losses. His loss regarding the clan emblem was mainly because he genuinely needed it, and besides the Thunder Clan, there was no other alternative. Now that he had the emblem, he was already pondering how to recoup his investment, with interest!
