The head of the Qi Sect, Hu Tianyu, had a headache. The business of the four major markets of the Fire Dragon City was a mess, especially the herb market and the pill market. This was not surprising. The sect had a huge amount of Tier 3 spiritual pills and had already exchanged all of the Tier 1 and 2 spiritual pills. Furthermore, the Tier 3 spiritual pills were not as cheap as the Pill Sect.
In addition, there were countless Tier 1 spiritual pills, which could be used to exchange for a huge amount of gold and silver. The Pill Sect's bank account accounted for 90% of the transaction in Fire Dragon City, while the other three sects only accounted for a pitiful 10%.
Not only that, many of the clients that had previously traded with the Qi sect had moved to the Pill Sect. Even many of the Qi Sect's subordinates had the intention of jumping up to a new level. This caused the Sect Leader to be especially troubled.
Hu Tianyu convened an emergency meeting, in which all the investigators and senior officials were to attend. Including the 10 Great Elders, there were only a few dozen people present. Each of them was silent and had their own 99.9 points.
"Everyone, let's gather everyone and make a good plan on how to deal with the Pill Sect. If we do not control it now, we might end up raising a tiger in the future. I hope everyone understands."
Liu Tianling was unwilling to accept this. "Sect Leader, what do you mean by curing a trouble? You're letting the tiger return to the mountain, Duan Siliang is a good investigator, and it's you who listened to my slanderous words and expelled Duan Siliang from the Qi Sect. Now, Duan Siliang has made some sort of a Pill Sect, and they're so powerful, what do we do?"
Elder Li knew Liu Tianliang was talking about him, so he was naturally unwilling to do it, "Investigator Liu, you don't need to point at Sang Huai, the advice you gave the Sect Leader is exactly what I said. "I think the punishment was too light back then. If I had shot that brat, I wouldn't have my current Pill Sect."
"Elder Li, you don't have to be serious. That encounter was a fortuitous one, and the inner strength was too strong for the Sect Leader. Even the Sect Leader couldn't avoid 10 points of confidence. You said that it was a bit too much to kill him, right?"
"You. "You are protecting Duan Ru, if not for you, Duan Ru wouldn't be here today."
The Sect Leader Hu Tianyu saw the two of them arguing and took out the Sect Leader's authority.
"Both of you shut your mouths, right now we are facing a huge enemy, you guys only care about internal strife, what do you do to the upper echelons of the Qi Sect?" The two of them were scolded by the Sect Leader and stopped talking.
At this moment, two disciples walked in from outside the door.
"Reporting to Sect Leader, two deacons of the Pill Sect have come to seek an audience." Just as this disciple finished speaking, two figures floated in from outside. Their movements were strange and they wore yellow cloaks, appearing extremely haughty.
"Hu Tianyu, you are very rude. We will send you a message out of kindness. Your guards are trying to stop us. Do you want to become enemies with the Pill Sect?"
Hu Tianyu was shocked. What was there to be afraid of? Just as he was discussing about the Pill Sect, the Solitary Sect came knocking. Hu Tianyu felt a trace of displeasure, "You are the deacon, and I am the Sect Leader. How dare you call yourself so arrogantly, calling yourself by name?" Even Liu Tianliang felt that this was a bit too much.
"How dare you! Is the Sect Leader's name something you can call?"
The two deacons laughed loudly, "What bullsh * t Sect Leader? If you have the ability, show it to us. Stop blabbering here." Liu Tianliang leaped up with a "sou" sound and flew over the crowd's heads to attack the newcomer.
Seeing that Liu Tianliang was about to be hit, the two of them did not make any move. One of them threw his hand upwards, and with a seemingly light movement, it seemed very natural and unrestrained, and it completely dispelled Liu Tianliang's strength. With a backlash, Liu Tianliang fell to the ground and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
"Tianliang, quickly retreat. You are not a match for us." Hu Tianyu spoke too late. Even though he was half a beat late, Liu Tianliang was still injured. The two people laughed, "Not bad, just a little bit more. If it wasn't for the fact that you have some connections with our sect, I would have killed your Soul Breath Sect today. Hehehe."
When Elder Li and the others saw this, they were frightened out of their wits. Liu Tianyu's kung fu was about the same as a few elders, yet he was seriously injured after he failed to hit them.
Hu Tianyu was furious. He pushed himself off the Sect Leader's chair and flew out of the main hall, viciously kicking the two of them. The person in his left hand hugged his arm in disdain. The person in his right hand flipped over like a swallow and kicked Hu Tianyu, sending him flying back to his chair.
"Pu" Hu Tianyu wanted to spit out some blood qi, but he forcibly swallowed it back down. He quickly formed a seal with his hand to block the pressure on his dantian. He immediately circulated his body in order to barely avoid being injured. Hu Tianyu already knew that the two cultivators were much stronger than him and that no one in the Qi sect could match them. If they were to fight today, they would be exterminating the entire clan.
"Seniors, what business do you have with the Qi sect? If we can do it, we will definitely try our best."
"That's right, Sect Leader Hu is more sensible. We are under the Sect Leader's orders and want the same person from the Qi Sect."
Hu Tianyu was stunned, "Who is it?", "Duan Hu".
Hu Tianyu didn't even recognize Duan Hu. At this moment, Liu Tianyu had already circulated his cultivation to heal his injuries, and was barely able to speak.
"Sect Leader, Duan Hu is an outer court disciple and went missing a year ago." Hu Tianyu suddenly recalled that a year ago, when Duan Jian was in the Qi Sect, he had found trouble with Duan Hu and even broke one of Duan Hu's arms. After he found out about it, Duan Ru Yue was so angry that she avoided questioning him because of the disappearance of her parents, so he didn't take it to heart. It looked like the person who came today was instructed by Duan Ling Tian, so Hu Tianyu let out a sigh.
"Honorable Enforcers, Duan Hu has gone missing and is indeed not in the Qi Sect. Please forgive him."
The two deacons coldly snorted, "That's your problem. It's fine if Duan Hu finds it, but if Duan Hu can't find it, then you two will have to create an extraordinary mountain and scram out of the Fire Dragon Province."
"Ah, you guys?" Elder Li and the others understood as soon as they heard this. This was a deliberate attempt to cause trouble, and the goal was to get the Qi Sect's thousand years of foundation established.
Hu Tianyu also understood that at this time, Duan Ling Tian's wings had already formed and he wanted to settle some old scores with him. Thus, he could only heavily discuss with him.
It was said that there were even 3200 pill masters in the sect, and each of them had the power of a deacon. Even if he himself was at the end of his rope, he still wouldn't be able to match up to them. With the Extermination Sect right in front of him, he really felt regretful.
How could a man not bow his head under the eaves?
Hu Tianyu was also unwilling, so he could only endure and swallow his anger as he said: "Two deacons, I've already made it clear that Duan Hu has gone missing and the two deacons have to pay a few days' rent to him. My Qi Sect will use the entire strength of our sect to find Duan Hu and bring him here."
The two deacons laughed loudly, "Alright, Sect Leader Hu is satisfied. We will hold it for three months. If we don't send Duan Hu up, then you two can wait to get an extraordinary Lan Shan."
After the two deacons said this, their figures flashed and they flew out of the hall like ghosts and disappeared.
Hu Tianyu and the others looked at the two men's strange movements and sighed, "There's thousands of ancient grudges between us. Because we underestimated Duan Meng, there was today's annihilation. Elders, you all saw it. The other side only has two deacons, yet they can completely defeat us. The current Pill Sect is like the sun in the sky, let's accept our fate."
Liu Tianliang was still unwilling, "Leader, are we just going to give up like that?"
"What if I don't give up? Where is that tiger body? How do we find it? They could only make two preparations, and at the same time, they would use the entire sect's power to search for a place to rest within the Fire Dragon Province. Otherwise, it would be the disaster of their sect being exterminated. "
The news quickly spread throughout the Qi Sect. The sky was still blue, but the hearts of the Qi Sect members were filled with haze. They went up and down in a panic.
