Da Shi's voice was like a thunderclap. The long line of martial artists outside the Hanging Hu Building were all shocked by his voice.
For a moment, the air fell into a strange silence.
But very quickly, this silence disappeared, and an uproar broke out.
Da Shi's reputation in the Burning Sky Realm was comparable to that of a Sage. Although it was a bad name, it was still a reputation.
You could not know who the Vermilion Bird City Lord was. After all, Huang Lao Qian was not famous. But you must know who the Vermilion Bird Celestial Sect could not offend.
It was not the Vermilion Bird Celestial Sect Lord, nor was it the Vermilion Bird City Lord. It was Da Shi! Offending Da Shi was like "If one offends Da Shi, the whole family will suffer." The Li family had used a bloody example to prove this saying.
Even the Sage Ancestor of the Li family was alarmed, but he still could not do anything to Da Shi.
Da Shi was backed by the Vermilion Bird Celestial Sect and Ying Tian Sect. Ying Tian Sect had always been on the same side as the Ouyang family.
If they dared to do anything to the Great Stone Ancestor, they would be offending all three of the Giant Stone Ancestor's forces at the same time. Unless they were crazy, no one would dare to do such a thing.
Of course, this was not the scariest thing.
No matter how willful a child was, the adults would always have a way to deal with it.
The scariest thing was that this child was stronger than the adults. That was a nightmare.
Da Shi was such a nightmare for the Li family.
Outside the Hanging Hu Tower, the guards of the Li family watched as Da Shi swaggered towards them. They felt cold sweat dripping down their backs.
The surrounding cultivators even showed a gloating expression.
Who told you not to sell pills? Now you're getting your retribution.
In the secret room of the building, Senior Pill's face had turned ugly.
Elder Zhi's face was also ugly.
Although he was resourceful and resourceful, as long as he was given time, it would be easy for him to kill a martial artist who was much stronger than him.
But facing Da Shi, he still could not do much.
No matter how resourceful he was, he had to meet someone with a normal brain to be able to use it.
As for the Great Stone Ancestor, he had never played his cards according to common sense. Other than using brute force to suppress him, nothing else would work.
Thinking of this, Elder Zhi looked at his empty thumb and felt his heart bleed.
The Soul-Devouring Thumb Ring, which was originally used to deal with the Great Stone Ancestor, was destroyed before he could even see its main face.
"What do we do now?"
The Paragon of Pills looked at Elder Zhi, hoping that he could come up with a solution.
Elder Zhi shook his head.
"I can't hide anymore. Otherwise, the Great Stone Ancestor will destroy the Hanging Hu Tower.
Let's go out first and deal with the situation as it arises.
The reason he came here this time was probably because of the plaque 'The Number One Pavilion Under the Heavens'.
In any case, remember, we won't admit to anything fishy about the plaque given by the Li family.
We can't let him have the chance to denounce us. "
The Paragon of Pills sighed helplessly.
"That's the only way. Everyone, follow me out!"
The door to the secret room opened and Senior Dan, Elder Zhi, Li Mu, and the other half-step saints walked downstairs.
When they walked out of the main hall, the gloominess on the faces of the Paragon of Pills and the others had disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by smiles.
When the Paragon of Pills appeared, the martial artists outside the Hanging Hu Tower were in an uproar again.
"Patriarch Li, we came here early in the morning to line up, but the Hanging Hu Tower is not open for business. What is the reason for this?"
"Paragon of Pills, you have to give us an explanation.
Even if we can't open for business today, we are here to support the Li family's business. You can't let us come here for nothing. "
"That's right. At least give us a discount. Give us some orders and let us pre-order some pills.
This way, the Hanging Hu Tower will have business, the Li family won't break their promise, and we will have something to look forward to. This is the best of three. What is there for the Li family to hesitate about? "
The Paragon of Pills smiled.
"Everyone, calm down. Although the Hanging Hu Tower has been robbed twice, the Li family has a strong foundation. This is nothing.
However, it will take some time for the Li family to send the pills here.
In a few days, the Li family will confirm the opening date of the Hanging Hu Tower.
I am sorry for what happened today. I hope you can forgive us. "
The Paragon of Pills said a few perfunctory words. He didn't want to deal with a bunch of troublemakers who wanted to take advantage of the Li family.
Putting up a front was already a show of sincerity.
"How dare you! Then, we've been queuing for so long. Is it all for nothing? "
"I worked so hard to come to the Seven Star Zone. You want to dismiss me with a 'sorry'?
I won't agree to it! Not unless you pay me the entrance fee! "
In an instant, the crowd was furious.
The voices of the martial artists drowned out the Paragon of Pills.
If it weren't for the guards trying to stop them, the martial artists would have pounced on the Paragon of Pills and drowned them in a sea of people.
A trace of disdain flashed across the Paragon of Pills' eyes, but he didn't say anything.
A bunch of rabble. No matter how loud they were, they wouldn't dare to commit murder in the Vermilion Bird City.
If that was the case, the City Lord's Mansion would punish them without him doing anything.
However, this was truly a spectacular sight! The Paragon of Pills sighed with emotion.
Even though his subordinates had already reported the situation outside, he still didn't expect there to be so many martial artists surrounding the Hanging Hu Tower.
Other than the long line, there were also groups of martial artists gathered everywhere. It could be said that they had already surrounded the Hanging Hu Tower.
Even if the Hanging Hu Tower could open normally, it wouldn't be enough to satisfy so many people.
The Paragon of Pills felt a trace of pride in his heart.
This was the use of the Li family's golden name! The pills produced by the Li family were of the highest quality. How could a mere Ying Tian Sect and a mere Dan Domain compare to the Li family?
However, at this moment, Elder Zhi poured a bucket of cold water on the Paragon of Pills.
"Something's wrong. There are too many people here.
I'm afraid that someone deliberately lured so many martial artists here.
Many of them don't look like they're here to buy pills. They're here to make up the numbers. "
Elder Zhi transmitted his voice to the crowd.
The Paragon of Pills' heart skipped a beat. The pride he had just felt dissipated.
"It's just a bunch of rabble. No matter how many people there are, it shouldn't be of any use, right?"
The Paragon of Pills asked.
Elder Zhi shook his head.
"We'll have to wait and see what's going on.
However, since Stone Ancestor Dashi is here, this matter must be related to the Ying Tian Pavilion.
In short, we'll have to be careful. "
The Paragon of Pills nodded and looked in the direction of Stone Ancestor Dashi.
Although there were many people outside the Hanging Hu Tower, everywhere Stone Ancestor Dashi went, the crowd automatically parted to form a path for him.
No one dared to block Stone Ancestor Dashi's path.
Stone Ancestor Dashi carried the signboard and walked in a disrespectful manner.
"Patriarch Li, you're really arrogant.
I've been here for so long, but you haven't come to welcome me.
Is it because I'm not good enough? "
Stone Ancestor Dashi raised his head and looked at the Paragon of Pills with his nose.
Behind him were Formidable and the other guards of the Ying Tian Pavilion. They were much more low-key.
The Paragon of Pills cupped his hands and said in a neither servile nor overbearing tone, "Stone Ancestor Dashi, you're exaggerating. The Hanging Hu Tower was robbed yesterday, and there were many things that needed to be resolved.
The Hanging Hu Tower is honored to have Stone Ancestor Dashi here. Please come in quickly.
I've already ordered my men to prepare good wine and delicacies for you! "
The Paragon of Pills wanted to trick Stone Ancestor Dashi into the Hanging Hu Tower. No matter what happened afterwards, no one would know.
He was ready to settle the matter peacefully and think of a way to trick Stone Ancestor Dashi into leaving. It didn't matter if he lost a little bit of dignity, as long as no one saw him.
Unfortunately, Stone Ancestor Dashi wasn't fooled.
The reason there were so many people outside the Hanging Hu Tower was because of the Ying Tian Pavilion.
Today, he came here to make the Li Clan suffer a great loss in front of everyone. Moreover, it was a great loss that they could only suffer in silence, a loss that they could not speak of.
Therefore, why would he follow the Paragon of Pills into the Hanging Hu Tower?
Why couldn't they talk outside?
"Haha, there's no need for good wine and delicacies.
Do you see the signboard on my shoulder?
Does it look familiar? "
Stone Ancestor Dashi put down the signboard and laughed.
The Paragon of Pills frowned.
How could he not see such a conspicuous signboard?
However, he originally thought that Stone Ancestor Dashi would send the signboard "The Number One Pavilion Under Heaven" back to denounce them. But why did it become the signboard "The Number One Pavilion Under Heaven"?
Could it be that the people of the Ying Tian Pavilion didn't find out about the signboard given by the Li Clan?
So, they were just returning the favor by giving the signboard "The Number One Pavilion Under Heaven" to the Hanging Hu Tower?
"Idiot, what nonsense are you thinking?
This signboard is the one that I made myself! I just changed the words, don't you recognize it? "
Elder Zhi saw that the Paragon of Pills didn't react and immediately guessed that he was thinking the wrong way. He immediately reminded him.
The Paragon of Pills' expression changed.
Stone Ancestor Dashi didn't come with good intentions!
