Ambushed Under The Starry Sky

"I'm glad you all can make it," Danny said to a group of nobles in a wide room in the Tri-Soul Manor.

The group of nobles that came was those from the pro fraction and the neutral faction. They were Heavenly Mark Clan, Heavenly Soul Clan, Winged Dragon, Hong Yue, Huyan, Dark Lion, and lastly Divine family. The Heavenly soul and Dark Lion (made up Dark Lion) were in a similar situation as the Heavenly Marks family, just a bit better as they didn't need to sell their inherited treasures to survive.

" The reason I called this meeting was to make you a business deal you can refuse. I would like to look at your treasury and see if there is anything I like. If I like something I will give you items, weapons, techniques of equal value.

I am especially looking for rare stones, crystals, seeds, and a similar page as the one I bought. If any of you have any questions I am willing to answer. Please help yourselves to this spirit tea from a grade 3 spiritual tea tree."

Once Danny was finished speaking he saw all the nobles staring at him with their jaws dropped shocked for some reason. Danny got annoyed immediately asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? If you are sick or something you can leave."

The divine family patriarch was the first to break out of his shocked expression and said, "Hahahaha Danny my boy you just gave us all a shock as your usually barbaric and tyrannical in your actions. I never saw you as someone who can behave himself and have some class."

"Old man I learned to behave myself, but the younger we are the more we tend to be reckless. I still learned the etiquette of the nobles as well as basic manners."

" No need to explain yourself to me hahahahaha." the Divine Family head responded causing the other nobles to laugh and Danny to feel a bit embarrassed.

"Ok enough laughing we can do that after I know if any of you agree." Danny quickly went back to the main topic.

Most of the noble clans were hesitant as this was the inheritances that were carried down from their ancestors. As the many noble clans were whispering among each other, Danny's patience was wearing thin.

Just as he was about to explode the Heavenly Marks Patriarch pulled out the other page from the temporal demon book. He sent it to Danny personally and said, " Young Hero I wonder what you can offer me for this page. Its value should be no less than 1 million purple profound coins."

"Hahahaha finally one of you old foxes brought something good out. I will give you the same armor and weapon set I sold at the auction. I will also give you access to 1 black gold rank manual from the adventures department. This should be a good enough deal. If you have anything else I will add to this amount." Danny replied with a poker face not showing the excitement of ripping off this old fool.

"Young Hero here is a list of what is left in our treasury." Patriarch Nie handed a small piece of paper to Danny. When Danny looked at it he was surprised by how little the stuff was. He saw the egg of that duck but he didn't want to go broke so he ignored it. Danny scanned the piece of paper and saw that nothing else interested him. He then reached the end of the list and read a "small red crystal covered with a slightly dark aura". This reminded him of a crystal he absorbed that produced a dragon shadow.

Danny looked towards the patriarch and told him he will add a legend rank manual for this. This made the newly advanced peak gold lvl patriarch almost jump with joy like a little kid. He thanked Danny and invited him to visit the heavenly fate clan when he had time.

The Heavenly Soul Clan saw the benefits that Danny gave the Heavenly Fate family, so they directly asked for a legend rank manual that is tailored to them. Danny responded only if they can pay up. They showed Danny several items they brought that they thought were useless. The first item they pulled out almost made Danny break his composure. Ay quietly activated the EGL and instantly calmed Danny before his expression changed.

"hmmm, the pure white stone has strange energy in it. Do you know what it is and how to extract it?" Danny acted ignorantly while telling Ay they actually took out soul essence. Ay was laughing too as they can only be obtained from a soul beast in the outer realms and had the ability to enhance the soul strength to a much higher degree. Danny can strengthen his already strong soul. It would be a qualitative increase in strength.

"No we weren't able to identify it but it is definitely a rare thing..." Danny cut the Heavenly Soul family leader off and said, " It alone is not worth a legend rank manual especially a tailored one. You have to up the stakes."

The Leader of the Heavenly Soul Family was annoyed that Danny cut him off but didn't say anything. He took out a few other items although they were valuable they weren't things Danny wanted. Seeing Danny wasn't moved with the few stones and old weapons he put out on the table, the leader gritted his teeth and pulled out a human looking figure that was see through.

Danny knew what it was at first glance and asked, " what is that?"

"In a diary from our founder, this is an Item spirit. When infused into a weapon or armor it will become a soul weapon. The only problem is I couldn't put it to use nor was I able to fuse it with a weapon of my choice. This alone should be higher than a legend rank manual."

Danny was decisive in his action, "I agree with you so I will tailor make a peak legend rank manual for you, and I will offer you 2 sets of top-grade black gold rank armor and weapons. For the manual, I need access to all your archives of techniques and history. I will also need to scan everyone in your household and see if there is any variation in their physiques.

I will also add in a peak Black golds realm bodyguard to protect your estate free of charge." Danny's offer shocked everyone even the patriarch of the Heavenly Soul family.

"this offer will obviously include everything you put on the table." Danny continued. The leader thought a bit and finally agreed although the artificial soul was valuable, priceless like there ancestor said, it was worthless to them especially since they couldn't use it. Also, Danny gave him an irresistible offer that can immediately increase the strength of their clan.

He also raised the manual strength to peak legend rank.

After this deal was made Danny began to check out the different items that the other families brought. The entire morning and afternoon of the Day after the auction went by. Danny led several Clan heads out of his manor everyone with a satisfied smile on their faces except the divine Family since they already have everything Danny could offer.

Danny was really happy ripping of these fools the soul stone alone is a valuable treasure that was worth 10 times what he gave all the nobles.

Danny already felt he had won when he purchased items in the auction. He didn't have much hope in these clans other than the demon book page from the Nie Family.

After the auction, Danny refined both the fire seed and the two palm sizes swords. The flame was a type of flame found in a sun's core called Profound Sun Fire. This flame is very strong and can reach very high temperatures. It also has destructive properties and is very difficult to control.

Once Danny is able to form an origin flame from the seed and is able to control it then it can be used to purify, refine, and breakdown materials to make pills or weapons. The best feature of this flame is that it is extreme yang(positive energy) in nature.

The swords, on the other hand, were a pleasant surprise as Danny was able to repair them by feeding them spirit energy. He also melted some materials and infused them into the swords without messing with the rune formation infused in it.

When he fused with them they didn't enter into his dantian but fused into his palms. A black sword tattoo appeared at his palm. The effect of the swords was to be used as a hidden weapon. Once released they fly 10x faster than the throwing speed and they have very strong penetrative properties. Danny added a rune formation the made these swords easily cut through energy barriers and barriers that have been infused with law powers. Now this made these swords cut through most energy based barriers.

( As I state in the earlier chapters the laws have no real power but using one's own energy and understanding of them one can explode with a much stronger attack or defense.)

The best ability was the passive ability to harden his hands and fingers to the same degree as the weapon itself. This increases Danny's defense in his arms making him block weapons with his bare hands. Also, boost his strike force by 50%.

Danny was walking towards the Snow wind family estate to say hi to his sister Ziyun. On the way, he was still grinning from the items he received. From the Heavenly Marks, he got the demon book page and more of the Abyss dragon heart blood essence. The Heavenly soul clan gave him many valuable materials of which the Artifical Soul and the Soul stone were the most valuable.

The Dark Lion clan was declining even worse than the heavenly fate, in terms of population, not inheritance, as they only had 20 members left. Danny got from them an eye which was from the Thousand Eye Ghost Bat a chaos beast. They didn't know what it was and the eye was the core eye of the beast. Danny gave a technique that can help them reproduce and a legend rank manual with 20 sets of armor.

The Huyan family didn't have many good items the only thing Danny took was an angel wing item. All though it was not a soul weapon, its materials were definitely rare especially the feathers.

The Winged Dragon family brought a large number of resources as they wanted to break out of the sacred family's suppression. Danny took all the rare materials, items, beast souls. He gave them a legend rank manual and promised to fix their families flawed manuals. He also gave them an army formation and 100 sets of armors and weapons like the heavenly marks family.

The Hong Yue didn't bring much except a dark horn. They said that this horn was able to easily pierce black gold rank equipment. The problem was the murky evil energy leaking out would turn the user insane. Danny accepted it but only for a peak legend rank manual.

Danny was satisfied with the result he wanted these stupid nobles to get stronger so the human's overall forces increase. He just didn't want to hand them it, as he knew these people only thought of their self-interests and not humanity. So he helps them and gains benefits as well.

The stars in the sky were really bright and they looked breathtaking from Danny's point of view. A windy breeze brushed Danny's hair.

Danny smiled and said, " So you guys finally couldn't resist making a move. You have been following me for so long I thought you were perverts. Just saying I'm not into guys so you can just hit on each other."

Several dark cloaked individuals walked out all having an evil smirk on their faces. The one in the center fanatically said, " We are the Chosen Ones, picked by the gods to kill you the fallen. Prepare for your death Fallen one."

After he finished speaking a dark aura surfaced out of the group revealing that all of them were legend ranks. The ten strongest had the aura of peak legend rank matching up to Danny.

Danny was shocked at the 30 peoples aura. As he was trying to think who he offended Ay said, "Danny the aura these people are emitting is the same as the aura that left your body after refining the seals. This is probably the retaliation I was telling about. As long as you take these people out the residual aura will fade and you won't be bothered again."

"Dam, I'll take out the 20 weak ones first then the other 10. The problem is their attacks are going to be deadly easily breaking my defenses. If they waited till tomorrow night I would have at least got from that little brat Nie Li the techniques to complete my own unique skill. I would have easily reached the legend rank in a couple of hours. Then I would not even worry about these dogs."

Danny also exploded with his full force and started a preemptive stile startling the 30 people. In less than 10 seconds Danny's spear pierced through 3 people killing them instantly.

One of the peak legend ranks laughed yelling viciously, " As expected of the First chosen your strength is indeed above us and you even have a soul weapon. Everything you own will be our today you will die." The group got in a formation and began attacking Danny.

"Oh great, they even know battle formations, this will be tougher than I thought."
