Double Cultivation
pressured to disclose information
While Su Yang and the Heavenly Sect left the auction house early, the other Elite Sect stayed behind for Wang Shuren, or rather, for the Earth Progress Pill, then why did the Million Snake Sect not bother with Su Yang for now.
"As I have stated, I will not disclose any information about my friend, who wishes to remain anonymous for the time being." Wang Shuren refused to reveal anything despite the constant pressure.
"What if I want to know about your friend?" Lord Xie asked him with a serious expression.
Wang Shuren forcefully swallowed his saliva and spoke, "Even if it is Your Majesty, this subordinate cannot reveal anything. If His Majesty doesn't mind offending him and risking the Earth Progress Pill forever, then … "
When Wang Shuren basically threatened them with his words, everyone in the room frowned.
However, none of them dared to speak, either, because it would be disastrous for any of them to offend this mysterious Alchemy Master who had what felt like infinite power in his grasp at the moment.
"Then allow me to ask a different question" Lord Xie said after a moment of silence. "How will the Earth's Future Progress Pill be distributed? Since it can have a huge effect on the cultivation world, it would be unwise to sell it without any rules. My Xie family will voluntarily manage it."
The people in the room glanced at Lord Xie with the corner of their eyes and snorted inwardly, "How cunning ... The Xie family wants to monopolize the Earth Progress Pill, or manage to flow them at least … "
Since the Xie Family was already the strongest powerhouse in the continent as well as its ruler, it didn't make sense for them to want to manage the Earth Progress Pill and balance the power of the cultivation world.
However, if that were to happen, then the Xie Family would definitely become too powerful, as they would have the ability to determine which Sect could have an Earth Spirit Realm cultivator.
For example, the Xie Family could bestow 10 Earth Progress Pills to the Sect he selected and drastically increase their standing in the cultivation world while earning their loyalty at the same time.
If the Xie Family did this to various backgrounds, then the Xie Family would become so powerful that even if all the Elite Sects in this world were to unite to fight the Xie Family, the Xie Family would become so powerful that even if all the Elite Sects in this world were to unite to fight against the Xie Family, The Elite Sect would lose to the Xie Family army of Earth Spirit Realm cultivators.
Wang Shuren immediately realized Lord Xie's intentions and spoke, "Your Majesty, this isn't something a subordinate like me can decide."
"What do you mean by that?" Lord Xie frowned.
"Although the Earth Progress Pill was indeed given to me, it wasn't as if I had it. In fact, I only sold it to my friend. If more Earth Progress Pills appear in the future, it is not my decision about how those pills are handled" Wang Shuren said.
Of course, what he said earlier was only a big lie, since the Earth Progress Pill was given to Wang Shuren as a reward, so he had the right to manage it. However, he did not wish to deal with the Xie Family, nor did he have the strength to.
"Isn't it .." Lord Xie closed his eyes to ponder.
A while later, Lord Xie spoke, "I want to officially invite this friend of yours to have tea with me. The location and time will be at his discretion. If he agrees, let me know."
"By the way, thank you for the Three Seasons Snake Blood. My Xie family owes it to the Burning Lotus Sect if you need anything" Lord Xie said before leaving the auction house.
Wang Shuren then spoke to the people there, "It's time for me to leave as well. If you let me."
After Wang Shuren left, the people there spoke to each other in disdain, "The Burning Lotus Sect is really lucky to have someone like him! Even though they were only promoted to the Elite Sect, it won't be long before they surpass us with these Earth Progress Pills! "
"The theme's a boy, right? I wouldn't be surprised if he sold his body for this pill!"
"Will anyone follow him? We may know the identity of this Alchemist in this way."
"Because you mentioned that, why don't you follow him? I don't want to be dragged down by your silly ideas if you get caught by the Alchemist and offend him."
"Then are we really going to sit back and do nothing while the Burning Lotus Sect is quickly surpassing us?"
"Until we learn of this mysterious Alchemy identity, there is nothing we can do! Once we do, there will be many methods to deal with this situation! "
After standing for a few more minutes, the remaining Elite Sect also left the auction house and returned to their own place.
After the Million Snake Sect returned to their hotel, the Sect Master immediately called for a meeting with the Sect Elders.
"The Sect of Blossom is also in this city, and I plan to deal with them before they can return to their Sect." Fu Kuan announced his plans to the Sect elders.
"What ?! Have you forgotten about the Eternal One, Patriarch?!" Elder Wan reminded him of Su Yang's warning.
"Older Wan, do you believe that they will bring that Immortal with them to this city and make their Sect vulnerable? If we deal with them now, they won't have any proof!" said Fu Kuan.
Elder Wan shook his head and sighed, "Although that Immortal may still be in the Sect, what about that little girl who committed the murder ?! What if he's with them?!"
Elder Wan could still recall the majestic presence of Xiao Rong and his peerless face, as if it was just yesterday.
"Older Wan is right. Although the Immortal might not be here, there was a possibility that his partner might be in this city and secretly protect the Blossom Sect." The other Sect Elders also gave their opinions.
"Hmm ..." Fu Kuan had forgotten the silver-haired girl and started to ponder in silence.
