Jacob from the Dark Realm Returns novel Chapter 174

"It will take us some time. If we work together, we'll definitely break the net. But now, there is no room to play our tricks."

A cultivator interrupted them and said.

Now, if they want to break the net, they have to self-destruct.

But that was impossible.

"What should we do?"

This thought flashed through all of their mind.

Everyone felt extremely aggrieved.

The mortification was beyond description.

Not to mention that they had been in the Divinity Phase for many years...

Even when they were still weak, because they were core members of the secluded families, they would not tolerate such mortification.

Everyone looked at Jacob with both fear and hatred. They wished to tear him apart.

Jacob once again soared into the air, walked on the air like he was walking on the ground and arrived in front of them.

Looking at the people in the net, Jacob said coldly, "I've given you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Now, if you seven want to live, you'll have to buy your lives."

As soon as Jacob said those words, the seven people were stunned.

With Marvin and Lance as examples, they instantly understood what Jacob meant.

Instantly!

However, their eyes were filled with disbelief.

Jacob not only forced the Semi-Divinity Phase cultivators from their families to sign the IOU and used it to blackmail them, but he wanted them to do the same?

Jacob ignored them and continued, "You will be charged different prices from those at the Semi-Divinity Phase!"

"Those who have money to buy their lives, live!"

"Those who don't, die!"

When mentioning death, Jacob's voice suddenly turned cold.

The seven people felt cold down their spines.

The strong and pure aura of blood emitted from Jacob and his cold eyes reminded them of something.

Jacob would kill.

Since he had offended their families by forcing the younger generation to sign the IOUs, he wouldn't mind making it more offensive.

"I'll give you three seconds. Those who will pay for their lives, speak, and those who won't, stay silent. After three seconds, you will decide your own fate."

Jacob looked at them and said emotionlessly.

It was as if Satan was interrogating them.

If it weren't for the lack of resources on Earth, Jacob wouldn't have talked so much to those who were after him.

He would directly kill them.

After saying that, Jacob didn't give them much time.

The countdown began.

"Three!"

"Two!"

Jacob paused for a moment before continuing, "One!"

When the countdown ended, earth-shaking bloodlust was emitted from Jacob's body.

It shot straight at Shyla.

Shyla felt the threat of death.

Even if she was at the late stage of Divinity Phase, she trembled at it.

It was as if she would die in the next second.

Shyla wanted to bite the bullet, or wait for someone else to speak before she admitted defeat. However, she couldn't withstand the bloodlust and said, "I'm willing to pay!"

As soon as she said it, she immediately felt the gazes of the other six.

Her face blushed in no time.

The moment they realized that Jacob was going to kill them, everyone had made their choices in their heart.

However, the first one speaking would still be the one being looked down on.

Shyla glared fiercely at them and looked at Jacob.

Since she had admitted her cowardice and said so, Shyla burned the bridge.

"I'm willing to pay," she repeated.

Jacob nodded.

He had a bad impression of this woman.

He thought she was hypocritical.

However, Jacob wouldn't kill her because of this. As long as they had enough money to pay, he wouldn't kill any of them.

"Quote a price!"

This time, Jacob didn't ask for a price like he did to those Semi-Divinity Phase cultivators.

Shyla was surprised.

Her eyes lit up upon hearing that she could quote her price.

Then, she said, "I am willing to offer five top-grade Reinforcing Panaceas, 500 grams of Tungsten Steel, one 200-year-old Saussurea Involucrate, and 500 grams of 300-year-old Nectar Wine..."

Shyla said eight items in a row.

Everything she mentioned was precious.

Moreover, the more she spoke, the more precious the items were.

After saying that, Shyla stared at Jacob with anticipation.

Even the other six cultivators looked at Jacob.

However, when Jacob heard this, he smiled coldly.

Utmost malice surfaced in his eyes.

"I'll give you one last chance. If you still want to die, I'll fulfill your wish."

Jacob said coldly.

These things were precious.

But it was almost the same as the price he asked from those Semi-Divinity Phase cultivators last time.

The combined value of all these items was not higher than the value of precious medicine paid by the Pharmacy Pavilion in exchange for Yana's life.

As soon as Jacob said those words, Shyla was astounded.

The other cultivators' eyes also dimmed.

Shyla added, "I'll give you two pieces of Glass Fruit and ten Fiend Sunflower Seeds..."

Shyla said it through gritted teeth.

All of them were extremely precious items. They could even be the treasures of the clan for the Stone family.

Shyla said six more items in a row and stopped.

Then, she looked at Jacob.

Even the seven cultivators couldn't do anything to Jacob, so his power must be at an unapproachable level.

Right now, they had realized that Jacob's strength was probably above the peak Divinity Phase.

Otherwise, how could Jacob take them down so easily and was not afraid to offend the secluded families?

There had never been a peak Divinity Phase cultivator in the Stone family. Although her cousin was working hard for it, he was still at the late stage of Divinity Phase for now. If Jacob killed her, not only would the power of the Stone family be greatly damaged, but there would be no one to avenge her.

Those items she mentioned was a backup plan she had long come up with, and if she failed, those materials would have to be given out.
