In such a situation, the Elders of the Secluded Forest Sect could only lower their heads, lest they say something they shouldn't and get themselves into trouble.
Sect Leader Guan looked at the group of Elders who were originally in high spirits but now hung their heads like frosted eggplants, and he couldn't help but feel angry. Just as he was about to open his mouth to scold them again, Ying Taiqi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, no matter how hard you scold them, it won't help anything. If word of it gets out, the Burning Sky Faction will only laugh at you. Save your energy!"
"Martial Uncle, I know you're right, I just feel uncomfortable holding my breath …" Sect Leader Guan sat down dispiritedly, and his face turned gloomy.
"Cough cough, there's nothing I can do." Ying Taiqi coughed a few times, and asked with difficulty while breathing heavily, "I'm afraid I can't hold on for much longer. Don't worry about the Burning Sky Sect for now. I asked you to contact Director Liu of the Dada Immortal Cultivators Chamber of Commerce, did he reply?"
Ever since Ying Taiqi's dantian had been destroyed by Xiao Chen, he felt that his body was deteriorating day by day. Although it was said that immortal cultivators had a very long lifespan, and it was not easy for them to get sick, and their internal organs aged very slowly, that was all due to the effect of Essence.
Once the Dantian was destroyed, the cultivation of the cultivator would be completely abolished, and they would not be able to gather Vitality in their body again. Therefore, there was not much difference between them and ordinary people, and they would age and get sick.
"Martial Uncle Ying, I wanted to ask you before, why are you looking for Director Liu?" Sect Leader Guan frowned and couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm … Xiao Guan, do you still remember my Master?" Ying Taiqi lowered his head and thought for a while, then said calmly, "Many years ago, he left the Secluded Forest Sect and traveled the world to train. He only contacted our sect through letters in the first few years, and then there was no news from him. I thought that since the Dada Immortal Cultivators Chamber of Commerce is so powerful, we might as well ask them to help us find my Master!"
There were actually two reasons why Ying Taiqi wanted to find his master. Firstly, if he could appear, he would definitely be able to beat the crap out of Xiao Qiang, who had appeared out of nowhere. Secondly, it was related to himself. If he could find his master, maybe his damaged dantian could be healed!
"But the Immortal Cultivation World is so big. He has been gone for so many years and there is no news at all. No matter how powerful the Da Da Immortal Cultivation Chamber of Commerce is, they may not be able to find him, right?" Sect Leader Guan shook his head in disagreement.
In fact, Sect Leader Guan had something else to say. Perhaps that old man had already died in some corner of the World of Cultivators. If that was the case, even the Gods of the Highest Firmament would not be able to find him!
"Little Guan, what happened to you?" Ying Taiqi's face darkened and he said seriously, "How can we know if we don't try? Now that our Tranquil Forest Sect has fallen to such a state, if we don't think of a way to save ourselves, we'll soon become an unknown small sect! Why are you still making excuses? What are you thinking? "
"It's not that I don't want to find him. It's just that the Da Da Immortal Cultivation Chamber of Commerce has gone too far!" Sect Leader Guan's anger flared up again when he mentioned this matter. He slammed the table and roared.
Seeing that the few Elders and Martial Uncle Ying were looking at him in surprise, Sect Leader Guan said angrily, "That kid was also invited to the banquet by the Burning Sky Faction! The point is that not only did he go to eat their meal, he even criticized me after eating! "
"Criticized you?" Ying Taiqi frowned slightly. He could not be bothered to mention his own purpose. He changed the topic and asked, "He went to eat his meal. We didn't … ahem, we didn't stop him. Why would he criticize you?"
"It's because of the previous matter!" Sect Leader Guan complained bitterly, "He said that it was because of our fight with the Burning Sky Faction that indirectly caused Guan Weicai's death, causing the success rate of cooperation with the Da Da Immortal Cultivation Chamber of Commerce to be lowered. Our reputation was also damaged because of this. He even said that he wanted to blacklist us in the industry!"
As it turned out, after Liu Huaishui finished attending the Burning Sky Faction's banquet, he thought that he finally understood the truth of the entire matter. After returning, he first wrote a report to his superiors, explaining the "ins and outs" of the matter.
In the report, Liu Huaishui determined that Guan Weicai was actually a victim of the personal grudge between the Burning Sky Faction and the Tranquil Forest Sect, and that Xiao Chen was also the force behind the Burning Sky Faction's invitation. The Zhao Family just happened to have an agreement with the Da Da Immortal Cultivation Chamber of Commerce and invited Guan Weicai to be their worshipper.
After the report was submitted, it didn't take long for the instructions from the higher-ups to come down. Liu Huaishui immediately contacted Sect Leader Guan and conveyed the instructions to the Secluded Forest Sect, telling them that Guan Weicai's death was due to a private fight between the two sects, and that the Burning Sky Sect had secretly invited an expert to kill him. Da Da Immortal Cultivation Chamber of Commerce would not be responsible for any breach of contract.
At the same time, Liu Huaishui also pointed out that the Tranquil Forest Sect might have violated one of the terms in the contract between the two parties, and was suspected of swindling Spirit Crystals. After that, the Da Da Immortal Cultivation Chamber of Commerce would conduct a further investigation. If the Tranquil Forest Sect was indeed suspected of violating the rules and actively swindling Spirit Crystals, then the Chamber of Commerce would recover the ten thousand Spirit Crystals previously given, and reserve the right to pursue legal responsibility.
"I didn't expect it to be like this …" A haze flashed across Ying Taiqi's eyes. Recently, there had been too much bad news, and he felt a little mentally and physically exhausted.
Sect Leader Guan nodded helplessly and explained, "Now that Director Liu blamed the grudge between us and the Tranquil Forest Sect for Guan Weicai's death, not only did he speak harshly to our sect, he might even want to take back the ten thousand Spirit Crystals. That's why I feel that … I'm afraid it's not suitable for the Chamber of Commerce to help us find people anymore."
"It doesn't matter. If he wants those Spirit Crystals back, then we'll just give them to him!" Ying Taiqi thought for a while and made a decision. He said resolutely, "As long as the Chamber of Commerce can find my Master, everything will be easy to solve, and we can even give him another ten thousand Spirit Crystals! At worst, I'll let my Master kill that Xiao Qiang, and then let the Burning Sky Faction compensate us for all our losses! "
Ying Taiqi didn't care about the Spirit Crystals at all. From his point of view, the most important thing now was to find his Master, and then let him find a way to repair his Dantian, so that he could become an Immortal Cultivator again.
Sect Leader Guan frowned deeply, and after a moment of silence, he finally agreed, "Looks like we can only do this now! Then I'll go and contact Director Liu again. Although that fellow isn't very honest, he's still trustworthy when doing business, and the key thing is that he's a guy who only cares about profits! As long as we're willing to spend more Spirit Crystals, he'll definitely be willing to let the Chamber of Commerce help us find your Master! "
