"Wei Hao, do you think that I'm afraid of you? You want to challenge me? You're asking for trouble. "
Su Bai had been hiding in the crowd for a long time. Seeing Wei Hao charging at him, he wasn't afraid at all.
"Brat, even if I can't deal with Wang Chong openly, do you think I can't deal with you?"
A vicious glint flashed across Su Bai's eyes.
What kind of person was Wei Hao?
He was the butt of their jokes, a toy that they toyed with in the Eight Gods Pavilion. Su Bai had never feared Wei Hao. Furthermore, he had been suppressed by Wang Chong in every aspect, and he had been suppressing his anger for a long time.
"Boom!"
Su Bai pushed his palm forward, and his entire body suddenly flushed red. A metallic clang sounded from the depths of his dantian, and a majestic energy burst forth. It wasn't the energy of an Origin Energy realm cultivator, but the Stellar Energy of a True Martial realm cultivator.
Even though he seemed ignorant, Su Bai had long reached the True Martial realm. As one of the nobles of the empire, how could Su Bai possibly be ignorant and incompetent?
"Wei Hao, I'll let you suffer a little this time! — — "
A vicious glint flashed across Su Bai's eyes, and he seemed to be roaring his last sentence. But in the next instant, boom! A tremendous force, accompanied by a metallic clang, smashed into Su Bai's fist with the force of a landslide and a tsunami.
In just a single strike, Su Bai felt as though he had been struck by a mountain, and he was sent flying like a broken kite.
Boom! In a straight line behind Su Bai, seven or eight people were sent sprawling on the ground along with Su Bai.
"Ah! — — "
"Su Bai, you bastard! Are you blind? "
"What are you two doing? Are you fighting here? "
…
The originally orderly lobby was instantly thrown into chaos. The aristocratic families that had been brought down by Su Bai couldn't help but curse out loud.
"Wang Chong, why aren't you reining in Wei Hao!"
Su Bai sat on the floor, both shocked and furious. He was shocked that Wei Hao was so formidable, and he was furious that he had embarrassed himself in front of so many people.
"Alright, Wei Hao, that's enough."
Wang Chong laughed in his heart. As soon as Wei Hao entered, he could feel that his strength had increased tremendously. The Mountain Ascension Formula was a top-notch technique from back then, it would be a wonder if Su Bai could defeat it.
However, the reason why he pulled Su Bai over wasn't to humiliate him or exact vengeance. Compared to what he had to do, these were really not worth mentioning.
"Hmph, Su Bai, weren't you talking big? What about his ability? Heh, for the sake of Wang Chong, I'll let you off this time. But it won't be as good again! "
Wei Hao said bluntly.
Since Wang Chong had spoken, of course, he couldn't attack again. However, he could still humiliate him verbally to satisfy his craving.
Su Bai's face alternated between green and purple. Surprisingly, even after suffering such humiliation, he didn't leave the banquet in anger.
"Wang Chong, do you mean what you said? Is the matter of borrowing a Real Martial Realm expert for three months in exchange for a WuZi Steel Sword still valid? "
Su Bai glared at Wang Chong said.
In the first place, he had never intended to show his face on this trip. On the surface, he had agreed to the Old Master's request, but in reality, he had done something else entirely. He wanted Wang Chong to make a fool of himself.
However, he couldn't ignore this matter anymore.
The WuZi Steel Sword was a top-notch weapon. Not only was it beautiful, it was also extremely hard and hard to destroy. At the same time, it was indestructible and sharp.
There was almost no sword in the capital that could compare to it. Thus, even though every WuZi Steel Sword was incomparably expensive, it had always been priceless.
More importantly, the Duke of Su had once tried to purchase a WuZi Steel Sword, but in the end, they discovered that the WuZi Steel Sword was only circulated in the depths of the palace and couldn't be bought outside.
In the past, with the Duke of Su's status, he could easily obtain any information or item he wanted from the Imperial Guards there.
However, the situation this time was different.
In the past, the Imperial Guards were very respectful towards the Dukes of the Empire, but this time, their attitude towards the WuZi Steel Sword was completely different. Once a WuZi Steel Sword was auctioned, no one would easily take it out.
Since the first WuZi Steel Sword was auctioned until now, the number of WuZi Steel Weapons that appeared outside of the Imperial Guards could be counted on one's fingers.
Thus, to the majority of the aristocratic families, this item was still something that could only be looked up to and not played with. It was something that could only be encountered but not sought.
More importantly, the aristocratic families in the capital more or less had some treasured swords that were passed down from generation to generation. And the sharpness of the WuZi Steel Sword was far superior to their heirloom swords.
Its value was naturally immeasurable.
Martial artists had a lifespan, but there was no limit to the inheritance of swords and sabers. This was where the value of the WuZi Steel Sword lay.
If one were to borrow a True Martial realm Tier 4 or 5 expert, in just three months, one would be able to exchange for an indestructible WuZi Steel Sword. No matter how one looked at it, this was a huge bargain!
"That's right, Wang gongzi, you can't possibly go back on your words!"
"Even the aristocratic families have to maintain their dignity. Gongzi won't disregard the Wang Clan's dignity just for a WuZi Steel Sword, right?"
"Five True Martial realm experts, no problem! Wang gongzi, you can't go back on your words! "
"That's right! That's right! "
…
In an instant, the crowd echoed in agreement. Their attitude was completely different from that of the Prime Minister.
The conditions offered by the Wang Clan were simply irresistible. No one could have imagined that they would be so generous.
"Wait a moment, Wang Chong, don't agree to them!"
Seeing Wang Chong making such a promise, Bai Siling panicked.
"Siling, it's fine!"
With a smile, Wang Chong waved his hands to appease Bai Siling. Then, he turned to the crowd in the hall.
"Our Wang Clan's words are naturally true to our words. However, I'll make it clear here. In the end, I only have one thousand Wootz Steel weapons here. If you miss this opportunity, I won't be able to give them to you even if I wanted to. Thus, I'll stop at the limit of a thousand True Martial realm experts. Whether you can obtain the WuZi Steel Weapons or not will depend on yourselves! "
Boom!
The moment Wang Chong finished his words, boom, as though a boulder had fallen, everyone in the hall rushed out in a frenzy.
— — When the interests of the clan were at stake, no one dared to fall behind.
"Su Bai, wait a moment!"
Wang Chong suddenly shouted.
In the crowd, Su Bai, who had already rushed out seven to eight zhang away, trembled upon hearing those words. He slowly turned around with an awful expression.
"Wang Chong, don't tell me you're thinking of going back on your word?"
It was true that he wanted to cause trouble, but he was no fool. Lending ten top-notch experts in exchange for ten WuZi Steel Swords was a good thing that could strengthen the clan's foundation and influence the Duke Su Residence's strength.
Only a fool would not do such a thing. In comparison, the rift between him and Wang Chong was insignificant.
If Wang Chong suddenly wanted to go back on his word, he would be dead meat!
"Heh! I won't go back on my word! "
Wang Chong flicked his sleeves and smiled calmly.
"But I'm sure you understand the relationship between us. So, Su Bai, don't think about sending a few people over. With the WuZi Steel Swords, they can lurk around me and cause trouble. "
"For others, I don't have too many requests. But for you, don't send your Su Clan's confidants. Don't send anyone below the sixth rank of the Martial Path. Also, I know that your Su Clan has recruited a new batch of experts. It should be less than two months ago. This amount of time isn't enough for you to completely tame them, right? If you want to get the WuZi Steel Swords, you should know what to do, right? "
Wang Chong said calmly.
Su Bai's expression froze, his face alternating between green and white. Wang Chong was right, he did have such a plan.
No matter what Wang Chong wanted to do, as long as he sent a few of the Su Clan's confidants in, he would be able to get the world's sharpest "WuZi Steel Swords". He would also be able to understand Wang Chong's movements and secrets. If necessary, he could even stab Wang Chong in the back.
— — If something really happened, he could just say that he didn't know anything. At most, he could just abandon the pawn to protect the carriage and push the blame to the guards.
But he didn't expect that Wang Chong had already prepared for this move. And he even knew that the Su Clan had recruited a new batch of experts.
"Hmph! Wang Chong, don't get too cocky. There will be a day when you'll regret it! "
Although Wang Chong had seen through his plans, Su Bai wasn't willing to lose. With a cold snort, he threw down these words and swiftly left.
This matter involving the WuZi Steel Swords was no small matter. He had to go back and tell his father as quickly as possible.
"Wang Chong, why did you recruit so many people? And you even want to use WuZi Steel Swords to trade for them! "
Once the people in the hall had left, Zhao Yatong took two steps forward and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Does it have to do with the southwest?"
It was Bai Siling who saw the first signs and stepped forward to ask.
Wang Chong said nothing, only glanced at Bai Siling and then firmly nodded.
… …
The Wang Clan was going to take out one thousand top-class WuZi Steel Swords to borrow experts from the great clans of the capital. The news of what had happened in the hall was quickly spread by those who had left the Wang Clan Residence.
The entire capital was in an uproar!
"Damn it! I knew I should've gone! "
"It's over, it's over! All of you were the ones who talked too much! This was a chance that was delivered to our doorstep, but we threw it away! "
"Hurry! Do you know how much effort Patriarch Wang had to put in to obtain the WuZi Steel Swords of the Imperial Court? Now that the WuZi Steel Swords have been delivered to us, we can't miss it! "
"I don't care why the Wang Clan wants to borrow experts from our clans. Even if we die outside, we have to get those weapons!"
"Hurry and gather the experts of the clan. In addition, get ready. I'm going to the Wang Clan to pay a visit to that Young Master Wang! No matter what, we have to get those spots! "
… …
The great clans of the capital were in an uproar, all of them regretting their previous decisions. The southwest was currently attracting the attention of the entire capital, but it was still too far away.
In comparison, the matter of this Young Master Wang was closely related to the interests of their clans.
Countless great clans immediately began to move.
