Immortal Emperor Jin Tai's tyrannical power had seeped into every corner of the Immortal World for countless years. To the people of the Immortal World, he was an unsurpassable god-like existence. The dignified Immortal Palace was like a towering mountain that made the people of the Immortal World feel like ants at the foot of the mountain. They could only look up to it, and very few dared to show any disrespect …
As for Wan Ling and the others, once they confirmed that Yue Qianchou was wearing the golden clothing, they were immediately dumbfounded. They didn't think that Yue Qianchou was a fake because it was hard for them to believe that someone in the Immortal World would dare to pretend to be someone from the Immortal Palace to swindle people. This was simply challenging the dignity of the god-like Immortal Emperor …
However, Yue Qianchou's rise in both his previous and current lives mostly relied on seeking wealth amidst danger. As long as there was a tiny chance, he would dare to take the risk and fight for it. To put it bluntly, he was an opportunist, but as an excellent opportunist, his outstanding vision and extraordinary courage were not comparable to ordinary people. This was achieved through failure and blood on the line between life and death.
People like him never took being cruel and merciless or swindling seriously, because they were already used to it. Nothing was more important than achieving their own goals. This kind of person would either die a horrible death or be unstoppable. They could always kill their way out of desperate situations and never gave up easily …
At this time, Yue Qianchou didn't think about the Immortal Emperor and the Immortal Palace at all. To him, the troubles that might appear in the future were not as important as solving the problems in front of him. Wan Ling's coercion allowed him to find a good way to solve the current problems …
'You provoked me first, so don't blame me for being impolite!' Yue Qianchou sneered in his heart. His expression was indifferent. After putting on the golden clothing, his entire aura suddenly changed. He began to emit a faintly discernible aura of a superior as he coldly looked at them.
Wan Ling and the others came to their senses and looked at Yue Qianchou with complicated expressions. They were now sure that Yue Qianchou had been hiding something with the identity of a rogue cultivator. Otherwise, how could a little rogue cultivator have such a superior aura? This kind of imposing manner was cultivated in a certain environment. It was not something that could be faked. With their eyesight, if it was faked, they would be able to see through it at a glance.
"I won't retaliate. If you want to kill me, then go ahead." Yue Qianchou's face was expressionless as he slowly spat out each word: "I really want to see if your Wan Gu Tong's people are really that daring!" His gaze was fixated on Mu Tong's frozen hands that were dangling out from his sleeves.
The three Mu brothers were shocked speechless. The atmosphere in the shop was unusually heavy. Mu Tong's hands unconsciously lowered … both hands were placed on his waist. The domineering Wan Ling's aura dissipated in an instant. Her arms were no longer crossed as she asked with a complicated look in her eyes, "You … you're from the Immortal Palace?"
Yue Qianchou snorted disdainfully, "Didn't your Wan Gu Tong want to rebel? Then make your move! I really want to see how much guts you guys have. "
He directly emphasized the severity of the problem, slapping a huge hat on Wan Gu Tong's head. Who else could rebel in the Immortal World be rebelling against? Of course it was Immortal Emperor Jin Tai.
This hat was too heavy. Forget about them, even Wan Gu Tong's Wan Bosheng wouldn't be able to bear it ah! Although Wan Bosheng was the Immortal World's number one merchant house, he was nothing to Immortal Emperor Jin Tai. If the Immortal Emperor was unhappy, he could kill Wan Bosheng at any time without batting an eyelid …
Wan Gu Tong's face paled. If word of this got out, it would be disastrous! Once it reached the Immortal Emperor's ears, if the Immortal Emperor really took it to heart, it would be a calamity for the entire Wan Gu Tong. A sect annihilation was only a matter of time. Although the Immortal Emperor rarely made an appearance to cause trouble for others, that was because he disdained to do so. However, everyone was well aware of Immortal Emperor Jin Tai's fickleness, it was extremely terrifying …
"You …" Wan Ling's face paled in anger, her body trembled uncontrollably. She had never been wronged like this before. Mu Wan was shocked, this was the first time she had ever lost her temper. He immediately sent a voice transmission to Wan Ling, "Miss, you must endure it, we cannot afford to offend the people from the Immortal Palace. Even if you don't think for yourself, you have to think for the entire Wan Gu Tong family. At the very least, you have to think for your grandfather who has always doted on you ah! Compromise for the general interest! Think of a way to send him away! "
"Me? What did I do? "Yue Qianchou's tone was overbearing," Did I say anything wrong? Your Wan Gu Tong is scheming to harm the Immortal Emperor's trusted aide, if this isn't rebellion, then what is? "
The Immortal Emperor's trusted aide? Everyone looked at each other, unsure if Huang Xiaolong's words were true or false, but the Immortal Emperor's trusted aide shouldn't be a Spirit Severing cultivator, right?
Wan Ling sucked in a deep breath, repeatedly warning herself not to act rashly. Forcing a smile, she said, "This is purely a misunderstanding, we didn't know you were from the Immortal Palace. If we have offended you in any way, our Eternal Trade Association is willing to compensate you. " He pointed at the immortal herbs on display, "Everything in this shop, as long as you like it, you can take it."
Her heart was filled with endless regret, how could she be so unlucky to offend people from the Immortal Palace? But thinking about it, this person was strange to begin with, if she wanted to blame someone, she could only blame herself for not investigating his background. She must remember this lesson in the future.
"As the Immortal Emperor's trusted aide, how can I accept bribes from others? You're not insulting me, you're insulting the Immortal Emperor." Yue Qianchou bellowed, slamming another oversized hat onto Wan Ling's head.
The few of them gritted their teeth in anger at Yue Qianchou's arrogant actions. They really wanted to kill Yue Qianchou to vent their anger. However, most of the people here knew that Yue Qianchou had come to Wan Gu Tong's shop. Once the Immortal Palace found out that something had happened to him, the first person to be implicated would undoubtedly be Wan Gu Tong. Wan Ling sucked in another deep breath, gritting her teeth, "What do you want before you stop?"
"As long as someone dares to plot against the Immortal Palace, I will investigate to the end, the Immortal Palace's dignity is not to be violated." Yue Qianchou said with a righteous expression.
Mu Wan took a step forward, cupping his hands in greeting, "This is indeed a misunderstanding, I hope Honored Sir will be magnanimous. We have some friendly relations with Great Commander Wu Xiong, the host of the Godly Ruins Realm meeting, how about this, we can invite Great Commander Wu Xiong to be the mediator, to prove our Wan Gu Tong's innocence. "
Motherf * cker! You want to use a big shot to pressure me? Let's see who's suppressing who! Yue Qianchou snorted coldly, proudly declaring, "I'm one of the Immortal Emperor's secret agents, all the information I obtain must be directly reported to the Immortal Emperor. He, Wu Xiong, doesn't know me, and I don't want to know him either. However, I do want to know if a mere Great Commander like him has the right to interfere in my affairs. "
A secret agent personally sent by the Immortal Emperor? This news was too shocking for these people, but thinking about it, it wasn't impossible. Perhaps this was one of the Immortal Emperor's methods to strengthen his control over the Immortal World. Especially when Yue Qianchou said that he was one of the Immortal Emperor's secret agents, it clearly showed that the Immortal Emperor didn't only send out one secret agent, there might be many more. And this Yue Qianchou had always been hiding his identity, but in the end, he was forced out by these people.
Everyone was dumbfounded once again. Wan Ling, who had always been brimming with confidence, suddenly felt like the world was spinning around her. Offending a seemingly insignificant nobody, never in her wildest dreams would she have guessed that the person standing behind him was the most terrifying person in the entire Immortal World, directly dragging the Immortal Emperor into the picture. Wasn't this a little too exaggerated?
These people weren't idiots, they weren't so easily deceived. But the golden-woven robe on the other party's body proved that he was indeed someone from the Immortal Palace. Not to mention, even if someone was trying to deceive them, who would have the guts to recklessly drag the Immortal Emperor into the picture? Because doing so would only lead to death.
Fear and panic finally appeared on these people's faces. Due to Wan Gu Tong's coercion, they actually exposed the Immortal Emperor's secret. Once this matter was exposed, even if they didn't rebel, the Immortal Emperor wouldn't spare Wan Gu Tong. This time, they were in deep trouble!
Wan Ling's face was filled with panic, her mind was in a complete mess. The only reason she dared to do anything in the past was because she had an extraordinarily powerful grandfather backing her up. But now, the trouble she caused was too big, directly dragging the Immortal Emperor into the picture. This was not something her grandfather could handle, what should she do?
Mu Wan calmed himself down, decisively saluting Huang Xiaolong once again, "This time, we were wrong, but anything can be discussed. I believe that since Honored Sir is willing to reveal such a secret, we still have a chance to let this matter go. Whatever conditions Honored Sir has, please state them, everything can be discussed. "
Yue Qianchou glanced at Wan Ling, noticing that the older the ginger, the spicier it was. He slowly took a few steps forward, stopping in front of Wan Ling. Under the worried gazes of the three Mu Clan brothers, Yue Qianchou slowly reached out his hand to pinch Wan Ling's delicate chin, lifting her slightly lowered head up. His hand was not honest, unscrupulously caressing her chin, her white neck, and her face …
The faces of the three Mu Clan brothers instantly darkened. They were originally entrusted by Wan Bo Sheng to protect Wan Ling. Now that Wan Ling had suffered such a great humiliation … Mu Tong, who had a bad temper, was about to make a move, but Wan Mu grabbed his arm and slowly shook his head with a gloomy expression, signaling him not to be impulsive and to wait and see. However, the uncontrollable strength in his hand caused Wan Tong to feel a dull pain.
The corner of Yue Qianchou's eyes had been paying attention to the movements of the three people. He had taken such a big risk, so he had to put on an act. If he didn't show the arrogance of the Immortal Palace, he was afraid that it would cause more suspicion in the future. He was also throwing caution to the wind!
Wan Ling, who had always been high and mighty, had never suffered such humiliation. Even if it wasn't for herself, she had to endure it for her grandfather. In an instant, two crystal clear tears directly fell from her eyes. Her long eyelashes fluttered, and her voice trembled as she said: "What do you want?"
