"The one hiding in the dark, if you don't come out, I will tear this place down!"
Ling Xian spoke aggressively. His cold voice echoed throughout the place and shocked everyone.
This was the shop of the Extreme Yang House. How many people dared to say they would tear this place down? Ignoring everything else, his boldness alone was something that very few people could compete with.
"How dare you!"
The manager was enraged, "You dare to act so presumptuously on the Extreme Yang House's land? You are seeking death!"
"You have no right to speak. Get the hell out of my way."
Ling Xian's expression was cold as he shifted his gaze behind him, "After watching the show for so long, it is time for you, an important figure of the Extreme Yang House, to come out."
"It is time for you to come out. Or else the Extreme Yang House will lose all its face."
An apathetic voice suddenly rang out. Then, a valiant young man walked out.
His facial features were firm and handsome. His blonde hair draped over his shoulders, making him look carefree. His eyes were as bright as the stars and as hot as the Sun. The feeling he gave off was that of a burning flame.
"The Saint of the Extreme Yang House, Chi Liaoyuan!"
"It's him. He is one of the strongest demons in the East Domain. He is known as the most talented genius in the history of the Extreme Yang House. He may even surpass the ancestors of the Extreme Yang House!"
"This is going to be a good show. I wonder if they will fight."
Everyone discussed among themselves.
"It is an honor to meet the Saint!" The manager's expression changed and he quickly bowed.
He was a prominent figure in the Shop of Strange Stones and was a tyrant in the shop. But before the Saint of the Extreme Yang House, he was nothing.
Therefore, he quickly bowed and his face was full of flattery.
"Save it."
Chi Liaoyuan glared at him and shifted his gaze to Ling Xian, "How did you know I am an important figure of the Extreme Yang House?"
"The Yang energy on you is the same as this person's. This proves that you two cultivate the same technique."
Ling Xian spoke softly, "The Yang energy on you is purer and your cultivation level is much higher than this person's. If you aren't an important figure of the Extreme Yang House, then what are you?"
"I see." Chi Liaoyuan realized.
"Saint, you sure are powerful enough." Ling Xian glared at him, "Give me an explanation."
"What if I don't?" Chi Liaoyuan smiled.
"Then I will tear this place down." Ling Xian's expression was calm and his tone was even calmer.
It was as if his words weren't a shocking matter and he was just asking if Chi Liaoyuan had eaten.
"Haha, interesting."
Chi Liaoyuan laughed brightly and said, "However, do you have the ability to do so?"
"What about including me?" Master Zhikong suddenly said.
"That's enough."
Chi Liaoyuan's smile didn't diminish as he said, "But, Grandmaster, are you really going to interfere in this matter?"
"I can't bear to watch this person's actions any longer."
Master Zhikong put his palms together and said, "So, if you don't give me an explanation, I might have to interfere."
"Grandmaster is right." Chi Liaoyuan erased his smile and said, "I know the whole story, so I will give you an explanation."
"That's good." Master Zhikong chanted the name of Buddha and said no more.
Chi Liaoyuan gazed at the manager when he saw this, and he said, "Do you know that you're bringing shame to my Extreme Yang Sect?"
"Holy Son, I …" The steward panicked and faintly sensed that something was wrong.
"I've been here since this fellow Daoist entered the shop."
"In other words, I witnessed the whole process."
"So, you don't need to explain. Even if you say everything, it won't help."
Chi Liaoyuan's expression was cold as he said, "Now, I will convict you."
"The first crime is that you abused your power for personal gain by peddling your rare stones in the Extreme Yang Sect's shop. How dare you."
"The second crime is that you bullied others by relying on the Extreme Yang Sect's power."
"The third crime is that you're distorting the truth. I can't imagine how there can be someone as shameless as you in this world."
With every sentence that Chi Liaoyuan spoke, the steward's body became colder. In the end, he was trembling all over.
With a crying face, he begged, "I was wrong, Holy Son, please give me a chance to change."
"I'm sorry, you won't have a chance."
Chi Liaoyuan's eyes were cold as he said, "If you didn't distort the truth, I could let you go. But you've disappointed me."
Hearing this, the steward's body trembled even more and he begged again and again.
"Keeping you alive will only ruin the Extreme Yang Sect's reputation."
Chi Liaoyuan was unmoved, "From now on, you are no longer the steward of the Extreme Yang Pavilion and you are no longer part of the Extreme Yang Sect."
"No, you can't do this …"
As if he was struck by lightning, the steward's face turned pale white.
Chi Liaoyuan's intention was to kick him out of the Extreme Yang Sect. During his reign, he had offended far too many people. Once he loses the Extreme Yang Sect's protection, he will never see the sun rise again.
Therefore, why wouldn't he feel fearful?
"Why not?"
Chi Liaoyuan coldly snickered, "I will give you 10 seconds to leave. If you don't leave, I will kill you myself."
Hearing this, the steward seemed to have aged decades. Like a candle in the wind, he could be extinguished at any moment.
Then, he chuckled and walked towards the door with heavy steps.
Seeing this, nobody felt pity for him.
Especially the young man, all he felt was happiness.
This person had crossed the line. Because of the Extreme Yang Sect, he had done many despicable things. Naturally, nobody felt pity for him.
Not only did nobody feel pity for him, but a few people followed him. Their intentions were obvious.
"I have given my instructions. Are Master Zhi Kong and this friend satisfied?" Chi Liaoyuan asked.
"I have no objections." Master Zhi Kong placed his palms together.
"Fair enough."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "I thought you would protect this person."
"Why would I? Protecting this person is the same as tarnishing the Extreme Yang Sect's reputation. " Chi Liaoyuan looked at Ling Xian meaningfully, "Not only is it tarnishing our reputation, it is also provoking our enemies."
"A correct decision." Ling Xian spoke softly and no longer spoke.
Seeing this, Master Zhi Kong shifted his gaze towards the young man, "Mister, please give me the lotus seat."
"Okay."
The young man happily handed over the lotus seat to Master Zhi Kong. His face was full of joy.
He had vented his anger and gained a heavenly Dan and a favor. Naturally, he was ecstatic.
"If you need anything, please come find me at Mount Meru."
Master Zhikong recited a Buddhist proclamation and said, "This Penniless Monk shall take his leave."
Then, the cloud floated beneath his feet and carried him away.
"You are very lucky. A favor from Mount Meru is something everyone dreams of." Chi Liaoyuan grinned.
"Hehe."
The young man smiled embarrassedly and looked at Ling Xian, "My name is Zhang Cheng Long. I wonder what your name is?"
"Ling Xian."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "There is no need to thank me. I merely lifted a finger."
"To me, lifting a finger is like giving me a new life." Zhang Cheng Long bowed down to Ling Xian and said in a low voice, "I will remember this favor for the rest of my life. I will never forget it."
"You are exaggerating." Ling Xian smiled.
"Friend Ling, I wonder if we can talk in private?" Chi Liaoyuan asked.
"Hmm?"
Ling Xian raised an eyebrow, "Sure. I was just about to choose a few stones."
