Lan Hao, Xu Youchang, Bao Tuxing, and Ning Zixun looked at each other with complicated expressions. In just a short while, a large group of people had already rushed out of the gate, especially the Green-winged Bat King Wei Chunqiu, who was looking them up and down with an unfriendly gaze, making it difficult for them to speak.
"You know them?" Wei Chunqiu turned around and asked. When he saw Yue Qianchou shake his head slightly to indicate that he did not know him, he immediately turned around and glared at him. "Where did this bastard come from? Why are you shouting here?"
Feng Jiuru, who was floating in the air, sneered. Lan Hao, who was below, took a deep breath and said, "The four of us are the Sect Masters of the Four Islands of Lake Light. Unfortunately, we have taken a fancy to the treasured land of the World Chamber of Commerce, so we have come to challenge the Sect Master of the World Chamber of Commerce, Yue Qianchou."
These words immediately caused a commotion. Those who knew them knew that they had always followed the lead of the Heartless Palace, so they quickly looked at Feng Jiuru in the sky and understood what was going on. Yue Qianchou, on the other hand, was startled. He did not expect that this troublesome matter would fall on him.
Wei Chunqiu checked the four cultivators and found that they were all at the late-stage Ascendant Immortal stage. Thus, he sneered and said, "You know that I am here, but you dare come here to cause trouble? I don't think you fellows have the guts to do so. Tell me honestly, who sent you fellows here?"
Her words immediately reminded everyone, and they all turned to look at Feng Jiuru in the air. Ning Zixun cupped his fists and said, "I've long heard of Bat King Wei's great name. The four of us wouldn't dare to cause trouble. It's just that we've taken a fancy to the treasured land of the World Commerce Association. In addition, Sect Leader Yue's cultivation isn't high and our four sects are poor and can't afford to buy a mountain, so we have no choice but to challenge Sect Leader Yue. "
Her words were so direct that Yue Qianchou rolled his eyes. Although he had guessed that Feng Jiuru was behind this, it was obvious that she thought he was a pushover. Wei Chunqiu was stunned when she heard that. She couldn't help but look at Yue Qianchou with a smile. The lords of the various countries had also heard about the Sect Master's challenge, and they looked at each other with worry in their eyes.
Xu Youchang cupped his fists and said, "Sect Leader Yue, I'm sorry! Please follow us to the Life and Death Mound! "
The so called Life and Death Mound was the one and only place in the Illusory Immortal City where one could fight, and its purpose was for the various sect leaders to challenge each other. Back when the merchant alliance set up this place, many people felt puzzled. Why didn't they allow people to fight in the Illusory Immortal City, but allowed the sect masters of the various sects to challenge each other?
Everyone's gazes gathered on Yue Qianchou. Yafuzi and the others looked at each other helplessly. They hadn't expected to encounter such a thing, and they couldn't do anything to stop it. Because this was the rule of the Illusory Immortal City, no one was allowed to interfere in a battle between sect masters.
Yue Qianchou was speechless at such a blatant challenge, which was allowed by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. He secretly sent a message to Wei Chunqiu, "How are their cultivation levels?"
"Their cultivation bases are not high. They are all at the late-stage Ascendant Immortal stage." There was a hint of ridicule in Wei Chunqiu's voice.
Damn it! "Of course it's not high for you …" Yue Qianchou coughed and waved his hand at Lan Hao and the rest. "Alright! Disperse! I refuse to accept your challenge. "
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings went silent, and everyone revealed expressions of disbelief as they looked at him. This was the first time they'd heard of such a thing in Illusory City. This fellow really isn't afraid of losing face because everyone in my sect is watching!
Yue Qianchou didn't feel any pressure at all. He continued to wave at everyone. "Everyone, welcome to my World Merchant Association. Everyone, do what you need to do. Today, my World Merchant Association will be selling immortal herbs. All immortal herbs will be sold at half price. Everyone is welcome to purchase them."
The lords didn't feel any pressure. They straightened the big red flowers on their chests and waved at everyone. "Please come in … please come in …"
Everyone looked at each other. They found that as long as one was willing to lose face, everything was easy to do. Trouble would be solved in an instant. They all moved their feet and rushed inside. Wei Chunqiu stared at Yue Qianchou with a strange expression. He found that this guy's nonchalant expression didn't seem to be fake. His skin was really thick.
Lan Hao and the rest didn't expect things to end like this. After being dumbfounded, they all became wild with joy. This was Yue Qianchou's own refusal to challenge them. They couldn't be blamed. The four of them immediately looked back at Feng Jiu Ru in the air with a helpless expression. They were all prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Feng Jiu Ru's expression was distorted. She mocked loudly in the air. "A dignified leader of a sect is actually afraid of battle and death. I think your World Merchant Association should just close down so that you don't embarrass yourself here." No matter how rational a person was, once they flew into a rage out of humiliation, they would always do unreasonable things. Feng Jiu Ru was like this. It seemed that if she didn't tear Yue Qianchou into pieces or torment him to the point that he was too ashamed to show his face, she wouldn't be able to vent the anger in her heart.
Lan Hao and the rest's expressions changed greatly. Anyone could tell that Feng Jiu Ru was provoking Yue Qianchou. In an instant, everyone stopped and looked at Yue Qianchou.
Facing the pressuring gazes from all directions, Yue Qianchou felt uncomfortable all over. He coughed and asked Wan Geyi, "Elder Wan, you also know that I hate fighting and killing the most. Is it embarrassing for me to refuse someone else's challenge?"
The lords were deeply suspicious of Yue Qianchou's words that he hated fighting and killing. However, they were all on the same side, so naturally, no one would expose it.
"This …" Wan Geyi smiled awkwardly. "It's really hard to say, but you're the first sect master in the history of the Psychedelic Immortal City to refuse a challenge. Hehe! Don't worry, no one can force you to do something like this. Just follow your heart, just follow your heart! "
Yue Qianchou nodded in understanding. He then waved at everyone and said, "Everyone, please come in and do what you need to do. Don't pay attention to the mad dogs barking outside."
Now that things had escalated to this point, the two sides would definitely fight to the death if there was an opportunity. However, because everyone had scruples in the Psychedelic Immortal City, Yue Qianchou didn't plan to give Feng Jiu Ru any face. Most importantly, even if he gave her face, she wouldn't appreciate it. She would only take a mile when given an inch. Yue Qianchou never did this kind of thing.
Everyone looked at Feng Jiu Ru in the sky with strange expressions. They knew that he had lost a lot of face today. Not only did he lose his own face, but he also lost the Heartless Palace's face. They were afraid that the Heartless Palace wouldn't let him have a good time when he returned. This was equivalent to messing things up!
"Yue Qianchou!" A fierce shout came from the sky. Feng Jiu Ru said aggressively, "If you're afraid of death, just say it. If you don't dare to accept the challenge, then admit defeat in front of everyone. Don't think about bluffing your way through. Even if you hide today, I guarantee that there will be people coming to challenge you every day. If you have the ability, then hide for the rest of your life. Be a coward for the rest of your life. "
His voice shook the surroundings. He was clearly angry out of humiliation. The people from the various sects looked at him in surprise. They couldn't understand. The situation was very clear. The more he made a fuss like a shrew, the more face he would lose. Why did he have to do this? It was obvious that Yue Qianchou wouldn't accept the challenge.
"Little b * stard, looks like he's really eager to die!" Wei Chunqiu snorted coldly. His eyes were already filled with killing intent. Yue Qianchou suddenly turned around and said through gritted teeth, "That's right. He's eager to die!"
As soon as he said that, to everyone's surprise, Yue Qianchou leaped into the sky in a flash. He pointed at Feng Jiu Ru and shouted angrily, "Old dog! You're really tired of living. Don't think that I don't know that you're the one who instigated the Four Islands of Lake Light. It's none of your business whether I accept the challenge or not. If you can't stand it, then go back to your Heartless Palace. What the hell! Why is the Heartless Palace full of scum? Scram! Don't embarrass yourself in my territory! "
The torturer was about to fly into a rage! The lords of the various countries exchanged glances. Everyone knew that this was how Yue Qianchou behaved in the human world. Once he flew into a rage, there was nothing he wouldn't dare to do. Everyone couldn't hide the worry in their eyes. The difference in cultivation between the two sides was too great. In fact, Yue Qianchou's safety was related to everyone's interests.
The people of the various sects were speechless when they heard that. This Yue Qianchou was indeed angered. He was already speaking without thinking. It was enough to target Feng Jiu Ru. Why did he have to drag the Heartless Palace into this? Once the Heartless Palace was angered, the consequences were not something that Yue Qianchou or the World Commerce Chamber of Commerce could bear.
Feng Jiu Ru's eyes were burning with excitement. She shouted, "Yue Qianchou, how dare you insult my Heartless Palace?"
"Don't give me that. You're already so old, yet you're still bringing out your backer. Even I feel ashamed for you. You're pestering me like a shrew." Yue Qianchou slapped his chest and cursed. "My words are as hard as nails. I dare to say it, so I dare to accept it. I'm insulting your Heartless Palace. How can a place like you come from? Pfft! "
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this. Yun Peng, who was silently observing the situation from the rooftop, stared at Yue Qianchou with a sharp gleam in his eyes. Wei Chunqiu's eyes also lit up. He stroked his moustache and muttered, "How dare you insult the Heartless Palace like this? Grandpa's cowardice wasn't in vain. "
Yafuzi, Wan Geyi, and the others looked at each other and shook their heads. He was too impulsive. He was still too young!
Mu Tianjiao's mouth was slightly agape. A man's courage was often the easiest thing to move a woman. Only Wan Ling had a matter-of-fact expression on her face. How could a trusted spy of an Immortal Emperor be afraid of the Heartless Palace …
In truth, Yue Qianchou was indeed enraged. However, he was not too impulsive. Feng Jiuru was simply going overboard with her pestering him time and time again. She had actually said that there would be people coming to challenge them every day. At this point, there was basically no room for reconciliation with the Heartless Palace. Instead, it was better to take things one step at a time. Since he was destined to have a conflict with the Heartless Palace, there was no point in enduring it anymore. He couldn't die a coward, right? Even if he died, he had to die with a bang. He couldn't let others look down on him. He was someone who cared about his reputation …
Feng Jiu Ru wasn't angry. Instead, she laughed happily. Yue Qianchou's words were enough. Even if Yue Qianchou didn't accept the challenge today, it would give the Heartless Palace a chance to teach him a lesson. She chuckled. "Don't pretend to be so daring. Someone who doesn't even dare to accept the sect master's challenge has no right to insult the Heartless Palace. He's just a coward who's afraid of death! "
