Chapter 407: Everyone's Here!

Chapter 407: Everyone's Here!

Suddenly, the "white dragons'' on Li Daoye's body became even more violent, crazily drilling toward his seven apertures. With a 'pu' sound, he sprayed out a stream of blood, and the white energy dissipated abruptly.

Li Daoye opened his eyes, looking somewhat weary. He softly said, "In the Grand Qian Imperial Capital, there are probably around a hundred Spirit Blood Sect cultivators. Lord, this is no joke. If you're not careful, you could face complete destruction."

"A hundred?" Fang Chen's gaze became extremely serious. He hadn't expected there to be so many Spirit Blood Sect cultivators in the Grand Qian Imperial Capital. Among these hundred, did it include people like Tong Hu? How many of them were at the Golden Core Realm?

Fang Chen's expression changed suddenly. "Hold on..."

In reality, there might not be so many Spirit Blood Sect cultivators in the Grand Qian Imperial Capital. It was highly unreasonable for the Spirit Blood Sect to gather such a large number of powerful cultivators in one place. The Spirit Blood Sect cultivators estimated by Li Daoye likely included outsiders like the Elder of the Heavenly Southern Sect.

With many cultivators at the Golden Core, Foundation Building, and Qi Refinement Realms attending the trade conference, there were bound to be Spirit Blood Sect cultivators among them!

"If only Junior Sister Qing He were here. She can see wandering souls, and Spirit Blood Sect cultivators surely have many wandering souls entwined around them," Li Daoye said.

Fang Chen smiled. "She's here."

Now that Li Daoye had reminded him, Fang Chen decided to ask Abbess Zhu Yue about her attitude towards this matter.

Li Daoye's eyes lit up suddenly. "She's here too? That's great! It's been a long time since I last saw her."

“Abbess Zhu Yue is here too! Remember to watch your mouth later, don't speak recklessly. With her temper, she won't let it slide," Fang Chen reminded before leaving the room.

"Abbess Zhu Yue is here too?!" Li Daoye was taken aback, instinctively getting up to leave, but after a moment's thought, he sat back down. "What am I afraid of? I'm a skilled practitioner of the Yi Sect now. She'll have to give me some face!"

In the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

A servant with a smile on his face led Abbess Zhu Yue and the others to the guest seat.

"What would Abbess like to buy? For the trade conference, all items at Heavenly Treasure Pavilion are discounted," the servant said.

"Do you have Spirit Essence Pills?" Abbess Zhu Yue glanced at Fang Qingyao and Qing He, asking the servant casually.

"We do, but there are only a few left. As you know, this type of pill is in high demand on regular days, and now with the discount, every sect is coming to buy some for their disciples," the servant replied quickly. "We happen to have a set of six left. At the discounted price, it's a total of five hundred low-grade spirit stones. Would that be acceptable?"

"Esteemed Abbess, have you forgotten? This is the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. Even if we step back, those who purchased these Spirit Essence Pills are young masters of the Fang Family. If you don't care about our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, you can’t offend the Fang Family in Grand Qian," Wu Jiuquan said lightly. "I don't want to escalate the situation, so I suggest you hand over the Spirit Essence Pills."

"You are being unreasonable," Fang Qingyao frowned. "There is an order for everything, and Master bought the pills first. If what you say is true and they were already claimed by a few people, your Heavenly Treasure Pavilion has been negligent. Business should be conducted with integrity."

Before stepping onto the path of cultivation, she had been the shopkeeper of the Green Medicine Hall for many years, and she had never seen such an unreasonable way of doing business.

"Junior Sister, if you still want to stay in the inner city, it's best not to argue with us," Fang Hao said with a faint smile. "You all came here for the trade conference, right? If you are expelled from the inner city by the Grand Qian Guards, you won't be able to participate in this grand event."

Abbess Zhu Yue's expression changed slightly.

Fang Qingyao and Abbess Qing He saw their master being put in the spot for the first time, and anger surged in their hearts.

"Abbess Zhu Yue," a figure approached slowly, greeting her.

"Oh, isn't that the Lord?" Abbess Qing He was slightly surprised.

"Lord..." Fang Qingyao stared blankly at Fang Chen, her eyes filled with disbelief. She even subconsciously pinched her thigh. It hurt, confirming it wasn't a dream!

"Lord Fang?" Abbess Zhu Yue was somewhat surprised.

And just then, an even more unexpected scene unfolded.

"Everyone is here!" Fang Hao suddenly exclaimed, leading a group of Fang Family disciples to bow respectfully to Fang Chen. "We pay our respects to Brother Fang Chen!"

"It's Fang Chen!"

"Has he emerged from seclusion?"

Many cultivators at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion looked over, their expressions somewhat strange. Some bewildered cultivators even hurriedly asked about Fang Chen's background.

Even Abbess Zhu Yue and the others were left bewildered.

What's going on?
