Spirit Emperor - C110
Seeing that Yi Song didn’t even have the chance to attack, he was stopped in one move, and a Changping Sword Sect disciple hurriedly ran backwards. Not long after, an old man dressed in purple robes came out from the palace. With a cultivation at the peak of the Human Rank, there was no need to ask, it was none other than the Sect Leader of the Changping Sword Sect, Qian Rushan. Behind Qian Rushan were ten elders, four of whom were the other four who escaped that day. Apart from the four of them, the rest of the six were at the twelfth stage while the person closest to the purple robed elder was actually an elder at the middle stage Human Rank.
Lee Xun now also understood why the Jade Immortals Sword Sect had always been suppressed by the Changping Sword Sect and had still fallen to the point of disbanding. Two Sword Sect, the difference in number of experts was too big. If it weren’t for the rules set by the Dongting Sword Sect, which forbade killing each other, most likely, the Jade Immortals Sword Sect would have been extinguished long ago.
The purple-robed elder in the lead carefully sized up Lee Xun and laughed, “This old man is a Sect Leader, Qian Rushan. I hope that the strong can give me some face and accept my weapon. If you have anything to say, let’s go sit inside and talk. ” After saying that, he gestured for her to go ahead.
Lee Xun smiled at Qian Rushan, retracted “Sky”, and headed straight towards the main hall. Seeing Lee Xun being so arrogant and not being polite at all, the five elders of the twelfth step who saw Lee Xun for the first time were enraged from the bottom of their hearts. They wanted to attack Lee Xun, but were stopped by the elder of the middle Human Rank. At this moment, the ones who understood Lee Xun’s strength the best were him and Qian Rushan. Letting these people of the twelfth step face Lee Xun, was undoubtedly courting death.
After splitting up the seats and sitting down, Lee Xun said, “Sect Leader Qian, I have two things that I wish to ask of you. I hope you can give me an explanation.”
“Expert, please speak.” Qian Rushan told him his family name, but Lee Xun never revealed his family name, so Qian Rushan did not ask, but kept on calling him “Ranker”. For example, the Lee Xun in front of him, in his eyes, made himself look so young, and was a freak; how could he have expected Lee Xun’s true age to be like this? Back then, when Xu Xiu had first met Lee Xun, she had also caused a huge misunderstanding.
First thing, a few days ago, Qian Hu brought a lot of people and tried to kill me. Since there are a few people participating in this hall, I believe you all will not go back on your words. As he said that, he swept his eyes over Yi Song’s group of five. None of them dared to look Lee Xun in the eye.
Qian Hu died, Qian Rushan naturally knew of this, Qian Hu was his nephew, if not with Qian Hu’s strength, he would not be able to reach the position of Second Clan Elder. Qian Hu’s death also pained Qian Rushan greatly. After all, Qian Hu had accepted the enmity with Lee Xun because he wanted to buy the Purple Lingzhi for her life. Although he knew that Lee Xun and the others were in the Jade Immortals Sword Sect, he had never known about Lee Xun’s background, so he did not dare to make a move. Now that Lee Xun had brazenly come to question him, although Qian Rushan was furious, he did not dare to flare up. Who asked Lee Xun to be the Earth Rank Expert, he smiled and said: “This matter is indeed my nephew who does not know his place, but he has also paid the price of his life. Do the strong feel that it is not enough?”
“Hahahaha, what Sect Leader Qian said makes sense. Forget about Qian Hu trying to kill me. If they attack the people from the Jade Immortals Sword Sect, how are they going to settle this debt? ”
The corner of Qian Rushan’s mouth twitched, he thought, relationships were just a bluff. Ever since Qian Hu had failed that day and the five elders had fled to report back, Qian Rushan had made many preparations. However, he had not received any news regarding the movement of his Dongting Sword Sect.
“I also know a bit about the events of that day. At that time, Qian Hu was too reckless, but he did not suffer any loss in terms of Jade Immortals Sword Sect, so I ask the strong to keep this a secret.
“Sect Leader Qian is a straightforward person, I don’t want too much. One million purple gold coins, if you accept the money, I will pretend that I didn’t see anything.”
“A million? Why don’t you just rob them? ” An old man of the twelfth step could not help but cry out in anger.
Lee Xun laughed, and ignored him, only looking at Qian Rushan.
“Although my Changping Sword Sect is not a small business, taking out one million purple coins in an instant is indeed a little difficult.”
Lee Xun was not surprised by the haggling. Only a fool would agree so readily.
“Since Sect Leader Qian has said so, I won’t make things difficult for you guys. Within three days, all of you have been gathered and sent to me at Jade Immortals Sword Sect.
Seeing that Lee Xun had no intention to retreat, Qian Rushan nodded his head in tacit agreement. Other than the Human Rank elder, the rest of them were confused as to why Qian Rushan had agreed so readily. Only Qian Rushan himself knew that agreeing with Lee Xun’s request was the intention of the Great Clan Elder beside him.
“This is the first thing. Let me say the second. I came to the Immortal Water City to make some connections and do some small business, but instead received a lot of interference. After my people investigated, it was actually your Changping Sword Sect that caused the trouble. ”
“Oh? I do not know about this matter.
“This time, the business I am doing is mainly for the women’s beauty training, so I chose to cooperate with Jade Immortals Sword Sect. I know that the two of you are incompatible with Jade Immortals Sword Sect, but that is your problem, so don’t delay my business. ”
Qian Rushan looked at Yi Song, who hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Sect Leader, a few days ago, Jade Immortals Sword Sect had indeed rented a courtyard house, and hired many artisans to decorate it.”
Qian Rushan waved his hand and Yi Song did not continue. The Changping Sword Sect had been suppressing them in every aspect for the past few decades, especially the business under their control. They had cheated and destroyed everything they knew, clearly showing from the “Jade Immortals Sword Sect Beauty Workshop” renovation that they were trying to force the craftsmen, forcing the merchants to greatly raise the price of the decorating materials. If Yi Song were to continue, it would be a joke.
“I will make sure that no one interferes with this matter. Please be at ease, mighty one. “Yi Song, go handle this matter personally later.”
“Sect Leader Qian is indeed a straightforward person, we will not disturb you then. Goodbye.”
With that, Lee Xun brought Qin Shuang and the other two along with him and left arrogantly. Before Lee Xun came here, he had already thought about it. He would use his “fake” Earth Rank strength to scare everyone off, and then, it would be more advantageous for him to talk about conditions. If they acted like they were here to negotiate peace, it would instead arouse suspicion from Qian Rushan and the others. The Earth Rank Expert still wants to be fair with a Human Rank Ranker? A joke. In Sword Soul Continent, strength was respected. Everything was built on strength.
“Sect Leader …” Yi Song wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qian Rushan.
When Lee Xun and the other three came out of the Changping Sword Sect, Qian Rushan said, “Go to the rear hall.”
After sitting down again, Qian Rushan no longer had that smile on his face from before.
“Sect Leader, why did you agree to give him a million purple coins?” With you and the Great Clan Elder here, could it be that they are afraid of him? ” Yi Song could finally spit it out quickly. He was the one who had suffered the most previously, if Lee Xun was really unreasonable, he would probably be dead by now.
“Elder Dou, what do you think?” Ignoring Yi Song’s complaints, Qian Rushan asked the Human Rank Elder. This person was called Dou Guo, and in terms of age, he was older than Qian Rushan by a generation.
“This person is very strong. It was unintentional for him to step into the Earth Rank. But from what I can see, it should be because the breakthrough hasn’t been long, and its aura is even more chaotic than the experts at the early stage of Earth Rank in my clan. ”
“So that’s how it is. Old Man Dou, you are quite knowledgeable. If we were to join hands, would we be able to restrain him?” Qian Rushan heard Dou Guo’s meaning and did not seem to think much of the Earth Rank Expert, so he asked hurriedly. There was a Earth Rank Expert who first killed his nephew and then came to his place to do business. To someone like him who had been a part of the Sect Leader for dozens of years, this was no doubt a slap in the face. How could he take this lying down?
“Sixty percent at most. Earth Rank Expert’s methods are unimaginable, although he just levelled up just now, you and I are still unsure of what special methods he has, and with Yu Su inside the Jade Immortals Sword Sect, it will definitely not be possible with just the two of us. ”
“Elder Dou, what do you mean?” Qian Rushan immediately understood the meaning behind Dou Guo’s words. If there was anyone else helping him, it would not be a problem.
At this moment, Dou Guo revealed a cold glint, and said: “A few days ago, he sent a distress signal, so I believe that my Dou Family will at least send out a strong practitioner at the peak of the Human Rank. Even though Qian Hu is reckless, it’s only to let us reveal our cards to the Dongting Sword Sect ahead of time. I reckon that Earth Rank Expert was most likely sent here by the Dongting Sword Sect as well, to play this game with us, seems like he really doesn’t place us in his eyes. At that time, just leave that person to me, Dou Family, while you deal with Yu Su. Losing an early stage Earth Rank expert is already enough to make them feel heartache for decades. ”
Hearing that Dou Guo wanted to make a move on Jade Immortals Sword Sect, everyone revealed looks of excitement. They had waited a long time for this day.
This Dou Guo naturally came from the Eastern Ocean Dou Family. A few decades ago, he had come to the Changping Sword Sect to assist in its development. Normally, even though Qian Rushan was a Sect Leader, when it came to important decisions, Dou Guo had to make them all, so that they could be carried out. Furthermore, everyone present knew that even though Dou Guo was only at the middle stage of the Human Rank and had strength at the peak, in a battle, Qian Rushan was not even comparable to Dou Guo, so they had complete trust in him.
“Elder Dou, I wonder when the support will arrive.”
“It should only be a day or two.”
“If that’s the case, then we can save a million purple coins.”
“No, we still need to send the money. Furthermore, if you want to go personally, it would be best if you can set up a banquet at ‘Jin Manlou’ in the city and apologize to him. I think three days later, you should take the money there yourself in the morning. Treat him to lunch at noon and we’ll do it at night. ”
After hearing Dou Guo’s words, Qian Rushan thought for a while and understood the secret behind it. After sending the money over, he would first numb the other party. That night, he would immediately make a move. If he succeeded, the money would naturally be returned to him. Why wouldn’t he be happy?
After Lee Xun brought Qin Shuang and the other two out of the Changping Sword Sect, he did not return to Jade Immortals Sword Sect, but instead entered the Immortal Water City, and arrived at the “Jade Immortals Sword Sect Beauty Workshop”. Arriving there, Lee Xun realized that the location of the “Jade Immortals Sword Sect Beauty Workshop” was actually not bad. It was located at the edge of the city, and its area was big enough.
After entering, he saw Yuling. Before he came, Lee Xun and Yuling had discussed and decided to meet each other here.
“Clan Elder Yuling, you can order your men to bring the blacksmiths back. The price of the materials will also return to normal and you can have your men speed up the renovation process. We’ll talk about the rest when we get back. ”
Hearing that Lee Xun had completed all of the tasks, Yuling heaved a sigh of relief, but seeing that Lee Xun was not happy, as if he was worried about something.
Returning to the Jade Immortals Sword Sect, Lee Xun saw Yu Su alone.
“Sect Leader Yu Su, there’s even a middle stage Human Rank expert, do you know about this?”
“I’ve met that person before. Although they were both Intermediate Human Rank, he was stronger than me. This person was not even from the Changping Sword Sect in the first place. Over fifty years ago, he had joined the Changping Sword Sect and sat on the position of Great Elder. It was only after his arrival that Qian Rushan took the position of the Changping Sword Sect’s Sect Leader. It was also from then on that our battle with Changping Sword Sect fell into a total disadvantage. But this person has not been seen for almost ten years. Have you seen him today? ”
“If so, there may be trouble. Today, I realized that when Qian Rushan made his decision, he accepted it. ” Lee Xun then explained the details of the negotiation he had with Qian Rushan today.
“So you’re saying they have other plans?”
“It should be. A million purple coins isn’t a small amount.” Qian Rushan originally wanted to bargain, but after looking at the Great Clan Elder’s words, he immediately agreed. I still had to use Changping Sword Sect to recall that detail. Furthermore, with what you have said, it looks like the Great Elder is the true brain of Changping Sword Sect. ”
“Lee Xun, what do you think they plan to do?”
But Qian Hu actually dared to block and attack us on a road outside of River City. This proves that they do not put the rules of Dongting Sword Sect in their eyes. Furthermore, before I came here, I received news that the Changping Sword Sect is related to the Dou Family of the East Sea. So we have to be prepared for the worst. ”
“You mean they’re going to attack us?” It was not hard to guess the worst case scenario, which was to destroy the Jade Immortals Sword Sect and kill everyone.
Although Lee Xun didn’t want such a situation to happen, it seemed extremely possible now. This was not the first time he came into contact with it. Their actions were very decisive, and in order to succeed, they had to strike with all their might. Unexpectedly, this time, it was also extremely likely that he would be encountering Dou Family.
“Sect Leader Yu Su, if Changping Sword Sect really wants to attack us, do you have any emergency measures?”
Yu Su knew that the matter was serious and did not dare to hide anything.
“There is a secret passage within the sect, there are three exits, and only the previous generations of Sect Leader know of it.”
“That’s good then. I don’t think they will wait long. If they want to make a move, it will be in the next few days. For the past few days, let’s have all of our disciples return to the sect and tell them to learn planting and massaging techniques. When they go out, the elders will take care of their affairs. ”
They found an excuse to make everyone withdraw, and this was naturally the first thing they had to do. After discussing a few more things, they split up and went on their separate ways.
