Chapter 253: My Backer is Also Powerful
Chapter 253: My Backer is Also Powerful
The private room door was abruptly flung open.
Five cultivators entered in succession, their faces filled with ill intent.
Leading them was the second manager, who had previously conversed with Elder Xiang Yun. He maintained a calm demeanor, as if everything was under his control.
Just as he was about to speak, one of the Divine Flower Four Emperors spoke up.
"These people don't know how to do business. They should at least wait for us to finish our consumption, contributing to the GDP, before causing trouble." The speaker was none other than Qi Yuan. "They're too hasty; they won't achieve great things."
They had just mentioned the possibility of someone causing trouble, and now it had come to pass.
The second manager was momentarily stunned by Qi Yuan's words, which he didn't quite understand.
He spoke in a measured tone, "The Ascendant Immortal Tower has lost a precious Spirituous Gourd, and a waiter witnessed you two stealing it. Please come with us for an investigation."
Qi Yuan touched his nose, "You, stop talking. Every time you speak, my nose grows."
The second manager furrowed his brows, feeling the awkwardness of their conversation.
He waved his hand, and a nervous waiter entered.
The waiter immediately fixed his gaze on Qi Yuan and Rogue Immortal Venerable, speaking anxiously, "Manager, it was them. I saw it with my own eyes; they stole the Spirituous Gourd."
At that moment, the door to the private room opened, and the cultivators outside heard the conversation within.
Wherever there's a spectacle, there are many onlookers.
Numerous cultivators, hidden nearby, closely observed the events unfolding in the private room.
"They stole the Ascendant Immortal Tower's prized Spirituous Gourd!"
"What audacity to steal the tower's treasure!"
"Wait, that person is Feng Xie, and he's come out of seclusion!"
"This matter... there's something amiss."
These onlookers observed the scene from a distance.
Among them, a man in a blue robe frowned, his eyes filled with concern, "The Ascendant Immortal Tower is associated with Phoenix Palace, this matter... is not so simple."
"Ye He, do you mean they're targeting Feng Xie?" another man spoke in a deep voice, his face filled with anger.
"Indeed, the Phoenix Palace people are becoming increasingly overbearing. Feng Jun is also their heir... and now..." Ye He began, his voice carrying dissatisfaction.
In the Phoenix Heavenly Domain, the situation was tense.
The Phoenix Palace members often covertly suppressed the disciples of Askwind Mountain.
Ye He's faction had a good relationship with Askwind Mountain.
He and Feng Xie were on friendly terms.
Currently, Feng Xie was being targeted, and the situation was critical.
On the other side, Great Sun Flame Emperor's eyes filled with anger, "They accuse my two brothers of stealing the Spirituous Gourd, and this is considered evidence?"
The second manager continued in his measured tone, "These two cultivators exhibit suspicious behavior. To prove their innocence, they must hand over their storage bags for our inspection!"
His words carried arrogance and intolerance.
It was clear that he was here to provoke.
"Where is there logic in proving one's innocence?" Great Sun Flame Emperor spoke in a deep voice.
Although he had anticipated that someone might cause trouble, encountering it still filled him with indignation.
Because of this, he had secluded himself in Askwind Mountain for cultivation, rarely venturing out, and seldom made friends, all to avoid causing trouble.
Regarding Qi Yuan and Ice Mountain Tyrant Lady, he had already expressed his concerns during their previous meeting.
"If we don't prove our innocence, how can we clear our names?" At that moment, a strange voice with both yin and yang qualities resounded, and Xiang Yun approached, his face exuding arrogance.
"Today, I came to Ascendant Immortal Tower to gather with friends. The private room on the ninth floor was occupied, but thanks to your friend, Feng Xie, who stole the Spirituous Gourd, freeing up a spot for me. For this, I must thank you!"
Elder Xiang Yun spoke as he took out a Spirit Stone.
"This Spirit Stone is a reward for you, as compensation for letting me use the private room."
Elder Xiang Yun knew how to humiliate others.
If it were others in this situation, they would indeed have to endure it silently.
"I suggest you admit your guilt and apologize early to avoid further trouble. Otherwise, your actions will implicate your sect, and then things won't be so simple." Elder Xiang Yun's posture was lofty.
In the cultivation world, strength was revered.
In Cuiyunzhou, the Bright Palace might still hold some reservations about the Yin Deity forces.
But in the Phoenix Heavenly Domain, the Phoenix Palace had no taboos.
Facing true powerhouses, Elder Xiang Yun would be as humble as a servant, but towards those weaker than him, he would display his arrogance to the extreme.
He was adept at flattering superiors and oppressing inferiors.
At this moment, the second manager spoke up, his voice indifferent, "If you two admit your guilt and apologize, your sect won't be implicated. Otherwise..."
The cultivators behind him exuded ill intent, their powerful auras permeating the air.
Not far away, Ye He witnessed the scene and frowned. He quickly stepped forward, "I can testify that after they entered the house, they never left again. It's all a misunderstanding!"
Ye He's appearance caught everyone off guard.
The Second Manager was momentarily stunned.
Xiang Yun Ancestor raised an eyebrow, "Ye He, do you know what you're talking about?"
Ye He's identity was rather special.
In the past, when the Mythic Great Venerable fell, he left behind his daughter, Jasmine Great Venerable, and also a disciple, who was the ancestor of Ye He's faction.
This disciple's attitude towards Jasmine Great Venerable was not very good, and he was even closer to Martial Lord Venerable.
The Phoenix Palace's attitude towards Ye He's faction was also quite ambiguous.
"I'm just stating the facts," Ye He said firmly, ready to pull Great Sun Flame Emperor into the matter.
Great Sun Flame Emperor looked at Ye He with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
At this moment, he was truly a trustworthy friend.
The Second Manager turned to Ye He and slowly said, "Azure Heaven Sect and Askwind Mountain have always been on good terms. Ye He, what you're saying can't be taken seriously. I'd rather believe what my waiter said."
"You're going too far!" Ye He couldn't help but speak up, "The reputation of Phoenix Palace is being tarnished by you. If Grandmaster Phoenix were still alive, and he saw you bullying others like this, he would surely eradicate your Azure Heaven Sect with a single palm strike!"
Grandmaster Phoenix was the only Mythic in Phoenix Heavenly Domain, who perished during the Great Tribulation.
Nowadays, the several Venerables in Phoenix Heavenly Domain were all connected to Grandmaster Phoenix by a thousand threads.
The ancestor of Azure Heaven Sect was Grandmaster Phoenix's disciple.
Askwind Mountain's Wind Lord was suspected to be Grandmaster Phoenix's illegitimate son.
Phoenix Palace's Jasmine Great Venerable was Grandmaster Phoenix's daughter and heir.
"Jasmine Great Venerable is Grandmaster Phoenix's biological daughter, and Phoenix Palace has entrusted her with leadership."
If Grandmaster Phoenix were still alive and saw his disciple colluding with outsiders to seize the Mythic Treasury, he would surely annihilate Azure Heaven Sect with a single strike!" Xiang Yun Ancestor said.
Phoenix Palace never acknowledged Wind Lord as Grandmaster Phoenix's illegitimate son.
Jasmine Great Venerable also didn't recognize Wind Lord as her brother.
The cultivators in the room glared at each other, and an argument broke out.
At this moment, Qi Yuan widened his eyes, his face filled with joy, "You're from Phoenix Palace?"
Xiang Yun Ancestor was taken aback and then said, "Since you know we're from Phoenix Palace, why don't you commit suicide to atone for your sins?"
"It's all a misunderstanding." Qi Yuan's eyes sparkled with laughter, "Actually... I can also be considered half of Phoenix Palace."
Xiang Yun Ancestor and the Second Manager exchanged glances, their faces filled with uncertainty.
"Hmph, half of Phoenix Palace, and you dare to claim a connection?" Xiang Yun Ancestor recalled that among the second generation of Phoenix Palace, there had never been a man like the one before them.
Therefore, even if this man was of low status within Phoenix Palace, he was still untouchable.
"Heh?" Qi Yuan scoffed, "It seems your position in Phoenix Palace is quite high?"
Quickly explain who your backer in Phoenix Palace is!"
"I'm afraid if I tell you, you'll be shocked!" Qi Yuan said with a smile in his eyes.
Having a backer like this felt good.
When encountering someone looking for trouble, simply play a round of "My father, Zhang Wei," and it would surely work.
Unfortunately, Qi Yuan currently had no such backing.
Xiang Yun Ancestor scoffed but didn't speak.
The second manager wore an amused expression, as if watching a spectacle unfold.
"If you refuse to admit your mistake, I'll have to call for help," Qi Yuan said helplessly.
Xiang Yun Ancestor observed Qi Yuan as if witnessing a hilarious joke.
The rest of the people in the room were also excited.
"Let's fight, let's fight!"
"Who knew a simple meal would provide such entertainment!"
"What a pity, this duel has already placed Xiang Yun Ancestor in an invincible position!"
The gathering here was filled with the wealthy and influential.
Everyone was well aware of the conflict between Phoenix Palace and Askwind Mountain.
Even Qi Yuan's backer, a Dark Deity, couldn't compare to Xiang Yun Ancestor.
Calling for help would only invite humiliation.
At that moment, Qi Yuan suddenly lifted his head and looked towards Da Ri Yan Huang, "Is Phoenix Palace located in Light Crane City?"
Da Ri Yan Huang nodded slightly.
Both Phoenix Palace and Quest for Dao Palace were situated in Light Crane City.
Light Crane City was the foremost city in Phoenix Heavenly Domain.
The other cultivators witnessing this scene couldn't help but chuckle.
Even those from Phoenix Palace didn't know about this, were they from Phoenix Palace?
Suddenly, a powerful aura enveloped Qi Yuan.
A potent bloody scent permeated the air at that moment.
His robe turned blood-red in an instant.
A voice that seemed capable of piercing through the heavens reverberated in the ears of every cultivator.
"Jasmine Great Venerable, do you have a secret crush on me? Now, Blood Robe Sword God has arrived at Ascendant Immortal Tower. Won't you come out and meet me?"
Qi Yuan's voice carried a hint of surprise and a strong killing intent.
In that instant, the entire Light Crane City was enveloped in this transmission.
Every cultivator in the city, whether in hidden corners or ordinary people, heard this voice.
"What... Blood Robe Sword God?"
"Blood Robe Sword God is here!"
"The Killer God has arrived!"
The voice echoed loudly, piercing through Quest for Dao Palace and Phoenix Palace.
In Quest for Dao Palace, a towering man furrowed his brows, his gaze deep and mysterious, before finally closing his eyes.
In Phoenix Palace, several elders who heard this voice were taken aback.
Because the words spoken were beyond their expectations.
Logically, even if Blood Robe Sword God had come, shouldn't he have kept a low profile when meeting Jasmine Great Venerable?
Why would he do this?
At that moment, a colorful-robed woman in the depths of Phoenix Palace lay lazily on a bed, her jade-like body exposed, exuding a flirtatious charm. Her eyes held a hint of ridicule, "Interesting."
At that moment, all the cultivators in Ascendant Immortal Tower were stunned.
Especially Xiang Yun Ancestor, who was shocked, "You're Blood Robe Sword God!"
Impossible!
The man before them couldn't be the renowned Blood Robe Sword God of Eastern Land!
Blood Robe Sword God's reputation in Phoenix Heavenly Domain was significant.
Most importantly, when Jasmine Great Venerable rejected Martial Lord Venerable, she expressed her admiration for Blood Robe Sword God.
Only then did the people of Phoenix Heavenly Domain investigate who Blood Robe Sword God was.
Upon investigation, they discovered that Blood Robe Sword God was a killer god.
Moreover, he wasn't an ordinary killer god!
A Dark Deity being called a killer god was rare, and at most, they killed those of the same cultivation level, or perhaps Purple Mansion cultivators.
Blood Robe Sword God was different; he killed Dark Deities, Purple Mansion cultivators, and even... didn't spare those at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages.
Blood Robe Sword God's reason for killing is quite simple," the woman in Phoenix Palace said.
"On the Divine Flower Association's forum, anyone who speaks ill of him, he directly seeks them out, bringing a trumpet ensemble and killing without hesitation."
He didn't even spare Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Precisely because of this, Blood Robe Sword God was infamous in Phoenix Heavenly Domain, and he even had many fans.
At that moment, the faces of the surrounding cultivators in Ascendant Immortal Tower changed slightly.
"He's Blood Robe Sword God!"
"He's actually Blood Robe Sword God?"
"I probably shouldn't have badmouthed him just now, right?"
"No wonder he's so talented, it's no surprise Jasmine Great Venerable has taken a liking to him!"
Xiang Yun Ancestor's legs couldn't help but tremble.
The second manager's forehead was covered in sweat.
A person's name, a tree's shadow.
Anyone who knew of Blood Robe Sword God was aware that he was a tyrannical demon, a mass murderer.
Rumors had it that he had killed numerous Dark Deities, and single-handedly plunged Eastern Land Cultivation World into chaos for ten thousand years.
Qi Yuan, clad in a blood robe, exuded a strong bloody aura, and his killing intent had materialized.
Apart from Blood Robe Sword God, who else had such an imposing presence?
Xiang Yun Ancestor had thought the other party's background was significant, but he never imagined it would be this grand.
At this moment, Qi Yuan was in a dilemma, his face filled with anguish.
"Misunderstanding... it's all a misunderstanding."
He couldn't comprehend how the renowned Blood Robe Sword God, comparable to a Great Venerable's Dark Deity, would address a fellow cultivator like Feng Xie as a brother.
