"I …"
Wu Laosan did not know how to answer this question.
He also felt that his luck was extremely good. He could escape every time. Even this time when Nangong Huayu was captured alive, he had safely returned to the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion to report.
Report … Could it be that they were …
A look of shock appeared in Wu Laosan's eyes. Administrator Chen laughed coldly. "You've thought it through? They deliberately let you come back to report, hoping that the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion will send people to Tao Sha City to take them down one by one! "
"Deacon Chen, should we go and inform Hall Master Sun …?"
Wu Laosan hurriedly said.
"The Hall Leader should be able to think this through. There is no need for us to say more. However, the opponent's plan should be foiled this time.
The strength of our Bountiful Treasures Pavilion is not something that a small merchant family can challenge. This time, Martial Niece Nangong is a Heaven's Son of Heaven of the Inner Hall. She was captured alive by them. The few seniors in the Inner Hall will not let this matter rest! "
Administrator Chen said plainly.
As expected.
Not long after Sun Qilong left, three chimes sounded in the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion.
Three chimes meant that the Inner Hall was gathering all the martial forces that could fight.
Six chimes meant that the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion was facing a disaster.
Nine chimes meant that the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion was about to be destroyed.
Three chimes. Over the years, three chimes had only sounded occasionally.
Countless Inner Hall ancient martial art practitioners walked out from their training grounds. Their gazes were fixed on the source of the chimes. It was the Sect Leader of the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion!
Not long after, one figure after another swept towards the Sect Leader of the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion.
More than a hundred ancient martial art practitioners were gathered in the Sect Leader's Palace. Seventy to eighty percent of them were in the tenth tier of the physical realm. They were Heaven's Sons of Heaven who were cultivating in the Inner Hall, trying to break through to the beginning stage of the Embryonic Breathing realm.
The rest were Embryonic Breathing realm ancient martial art practitioners like Sun Qilong. There were more than ten of them in the beginning stage, two or three in the intermediate stage, one in the later stage, and one in the great attainment stage!
Everyone's expression was solemn. They did not know what had happened and were standing quietly, waiting for the Sect Leader of the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion to speak.
The Sect Master of the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion, Yang Xian, was rather old. He looked to be in his seventies or eighties. Normally, an old man of this age would have long since lost his blood and qi, and his body would be riddled with illnesses. One of his feet would already be in the coffin.
However, to a strong practitioner with great attainment in the Embryonic Breathing realm, their Qi and blood were still as strong as when they were in their prime. They could easily kill a tiger with one punch, and their Genuine Qi could reach up to a hundred feet away from their body, killing people without a trace!
"Nangong Huayu, the proud son of heaven of the Inner Hall.
He was ambushed at Tao Sha City and captured alive. "
Yang Xian said slowly.
Hearing this, everyone's expression immediately changed.
Someone actually dared to capture the inner hall prodigy of the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion alive?
For a moment, the group was stirred up, as they requested Yang Xian to immediately lead them to kill their way into Tausha City.
"Silence."
Yang Xian coldly snorted.
The noise in the Sect Master's palace was gradually suppressed.
"The other party's actions are undoubtedly to lure us to their doorstep."
Yang Xian said lightly.
Someone said in astonishment, "Lure our Bountiful Treasures Pavilion to their doorstep? In this Xuan Nation, even the Three Sects and Six Schools wouldn't dare to be so arrogant, right? "
"So, do you think this is only a matter of the Underworld?"
Yang Xian coldly snorted. "The other party might have the backing of someone from the Immortal Sect. Otherwise, how could a mere five- or six-year-old child capture a strong practitioner in the beginning stage of the Embryonic Breathing realm alive? This is most likely some kind of smokescreen! "
"Someone from the Immortal Sect …"
Everyone's expression changed slightly, and their gazes became very solemn.
"So, I have already informed an Immortal Elder. That Immortal Elder collects thirty thousand gold offerings from the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion every year. Now, it is time to help the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion."
Yang Xian said lightly.
Everyone's spirits were slightly shaken. The Sect Master had invited that immortal over?
Many of the younger inner hall prodigies revealed expressions of excitement and agitation. To be able to see the legendary Immortal Sect with their own eyes, this was a great thing for them.
If they were lucky enough to receive a few pointers from the other party, they would also benefit greatly in their martial arts. If they were even luckier, they might be chosen by the Immortal Elder and be accepted as a disciple. Wouldn't that mean that they would be able to soar to the heavens?
The crowd did not have to wait for too long. Soon, someone saw a figure flying in from the sky outside the hall. The figure stepped on the void and slowly walked towards the Sect Master's hall.
The figure was about forty years old. He had jet-black hair, fair and rosy skin, and wore a light green Confucian robe. Every move he made gave off the feeling of an immortal descending into the mortal world!
"Yang Xian leads a group of martial arts practitioners from the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion to pay our respects to the Left Immortal Elder!"
Yang Xian immediately led his men to the door of the hall and respectfully cupped his fists.
Everyone hurriedly bowed as well. At the same time, they secretly sized up the newcomer. Their expressions were filled with excitement and awe.
"You crushed the Messaging Amulet that I gave you. What's the matter?"
The Left Immortal Elder looked at Yang Xian with a faint smile and asked.
Yang Xian Lian
He hurriedly recounted what had happened. Upon hearing this, the Left Immortal Elder frowned slightly and said, "Have you offended any Immortal Sect before? Why would someone from an Immortal Sect attack you for no reason? "
"Left Immortal Elder, are you really someone from an Immortal Sect?"
Yang Xian hurriedly asked.
"Apart from someone from an Immortal Sect, I can't think of anyone else who would have the means to allow a four- or five-year-old child to defeat a beginning stage Embryonic Breathing realm ancient martial art practitioner."
The Left Immortal Elder said lightly, "However, you were right to come to me. The other party's actions are so sneaky. I believe his cultivation is not high. He might also know that I am supporting the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion and dare not be too ostentatious. I can accompany you on this trip. However, regardless of whether I make a move or not, you must give me an additional thirty thousand pieces of pure gold this year."
Wouldn't that be sixty thousand?
Yang Xian's expression changed slightly.
This was a huge sum. Even the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion only had a surplus of fifty to sixty thousand pieces of pure gold a year. After deducting the thirty thousand pieces of pure gold that they gave him every year, Yang Xian did not receive much after distributing the rest of the money.
All these years, the other party had already taken more than three hundred thousand pieces of pure gold from the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion. This time, they were asking for an additional payment?
"The people from the Immortal Sect are too greedy. Damn it …"
"Sect Leader Yang, you seem … unwilling?"
The Left Immortal Elder said with a smile.
Yang Xian hurriedly said, "Not at all. I was just thinking about where to move this amount of pure gold. I will definitely satisfy the Left Immortal Elder's request!"
"Haha, that's good. There's no need to rush about the matter of pure gold. Let's settle the matter of the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion first. Which direction is Tao Sha City?"
The Left Immortal Elder said with a smile.
He planned to go there alone and settle the matter.
Yang Xian hesitated for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and said, "Left Immortal Elder, this time I want to bring some people with me to Tao Sha City so that I can ask the other party why they want to attack the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion. I wonder …"
"It is indeed a little troublesome."
The Left Immortal Elder frowned slightly, then said lightly, "Alright, just follow me."
On account of the other party's offering of pure gold all these years, he would comply with the other party's wishes!
…
Outside Tao Sha City.
"Is this the place?"
The Left Immortal Elder said calmly.
"This is the place."
Yang Xian nodded slowly. Soon, he would know the other party's goal. He would also let the other party know that the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion was not a place that small fries could covet!
