Chapter 2745 Uncovering Again and Again
Kongyu Zhenjun was surprised and also a little puzzled. How did these people manage to do that?
Then he glanced at the spider and noticed something different. "Never mind, it was all a misunderstanding!"
His divine sense swept over the Black and White True Venerable again, "Three times the compensation, I'll give you what you deserve. Goodbye, everyone."
You two blockheads, just wait till I get my hands on you!
The two True Venerables were swept by divine sense, and a hint of fear appeared in their eyes—it's over, this time we're doomed!
Kongyu Zhenjun's attitude was very clear: regardless of the other party's intentions, this deal... was off!
If only 30% of the deposit has been paid, even a triple payout would only amount to 90%!
These two True Venerables cannot make the decision because the amount involved is indeed substantial, even within the Bell Spirit Realm.
Moreover, can the same fifth-order spiritual veins, the Houde Realm and the Zhongling Realm, really be priced the same?
To put it simply, the price of a fourth-order spiritual vein in the Cangwu Realm is now higher than that of most fourth-order spiritual veins in the Houde Realm.
However, this amount of money is not a small sum for Kongyu Zhenjun... but he can grit his teeth and accept it.
He didn't want this potential trouble to take root on his turf.
He dealt with nine sixth-order spiritual veins, so what? He could take on two of those without batting an eye.
The real issue is that he took in these people. What must Nine Screen True Lord be feeling?
However, the younger one with the spider perched on his shoulder seemed to have seen through his thoughts.
The man calmly replied, "How could I dare offend Daizhu? It was a gift from a senior like her."
However, did his words merely imply that Jiu Ping wouldn't come looking for trouble later? Obviously not!
It was a gift given voluntarily... Kongyu Zhenjun has lived for a very long time, it's impossible that he didn't understand the implied meaning.
Unfortunately, he believed that the Black and White True Lords also understood.
He then scoffed, "These young people nowadays are really bold. Is this some kind of threat?"
“The Great Khan has already made his move,” Qu Jianlei said, glancing at the stiff Baiqiao.
Then he asked casually, "Are you afraid of threats?"
"I only gave her a light punishment," Kong Yu said, not believing that she had done anything wrong.
The True Venerable ignored the True Lord's warning; shouldn't he be punished?
“I have finished speaking,” Qu Jianlei replied calmly. “May I ask, senior, when will the compensation be made?”
No further divine sense was transmitted, and the scene fell into silence.
At some point, Baiqiao regained the ability to move his body. He calmly glanced at Qu Zhenzun and nodded slightly.
After a while, he sighed softly, "The one in charge of the Houde Lingyun Sect?"
The Hundred Bridges have treasures that conceal their roots; however, the premise for these treasures to work is that the True Lord does not have a specific perception of them!
Since Lord Kongyu wanted to be serious, he would naturally perceive it more carefully.
Because he understood that the other party was emphasizing that they had already made a move.
If he wanted to forcibly terminate the transaction, even with triple compensation, it would only apply to the spiritual vein transaction, and the matter would be over.
The Great Lord attacked the True Venerable—even if he believed he had a reason, as long as the other party was unwilling, it was still a matter of cause and effect.
He didn't deliberately try to sense the Hundred Bridges; he just casually sensed those Nascent Soul cultivators, and with a little more attention, he could find out their origins.
So we can basically confirm who his target was.
If it weren't for the person in charge, who among the outside sects would dare to rashly purchase spiritual veins?
More importantly, the other party's response was neither humble nor arrogant, and the True Venerables they summoned were also... quite extraordinary!
Who else besides the sect leader could have such influence in Lingyun's small sect?
However, this is where the trouble lies: attacking an ordinary True Venerable is completely different from attacking the leader of a sect.
Although Lingyun Sect is not large, it still has True Monarchs!
So when he realized who he might be targeting, the problem became serious!
Upon hearing this, Baiqiao sighed softly, "Senior, you shouldn't have asked that question!"
Even if one sees through something but doesn't say anything, it's still better. Once things are made clear, there's no turning back.
However, how could Kongyu Zhenjun not be aware of this?
He didn't want to ask, but if he did, he might face covert targeting in the future!
As for whether the other party has the guts and the ability, there's absolutely no doubt about it.
The reason is readily available: How can one swallow such an insult when the sect leader has been humiliated?
So he had to confirm it, and it turned out to be... exactly the kind of thing he least wanted to see!
However, True Lord Kongyu was not easily intimidated. Because he came from outside the realm, he acted more domineeringly than the True Lords of Zhongling's original realm.
He scoffed dismissively, "I asked you beforehand, why didn't you say so?"
“This involves matters of great importance to the sect,” Baiqiao replied calmly, “I hope Your Majesty will understand.”
"Have some sympathy, you're all planning revenge, yet you're still talking so hypocritically?" Shen Shi sneered.
As expected of a true lord who grew up in the outside world, he actually spoke his mind directly, which shows his responsibility.
However, he immediately realized, "It's... the matter of Xuantian Pavilion?"
“Yes,” Baiqiao replied in a deep voice, “I plan to make this place a base for gathering information.”
The logic was so smooth: it was extremely difficult for outside sects to procure spiritual veins, so he couldn't make it public.
Kongyu Zhenjun dismissed it, saying, "Hmph, gathering information, isn't that just about spreading it around?"
“Once the transaction is complete, we can announce it,” Baiqiao replied confidently—I’m afraid I won’t be able to buy the spiritual vein.
"Sneaking around like that!" True Monarch Kongyu scoffed disdainfully. "What kind of trouble could they possibly cause?"
He spoke very bluntly, but Baiqiao's hundred-plus cunning schemes were not for nothing!
The other party is at least willing to communicate, while such a reprimand is nothing more than an attempt to suppress oneself and find a reason to act in the first place!
Seeing that he didn't speak, Kong Yu spoke again, "Just for this?"
“Once this is over, you can return the spiritual vein to the Great Lord,” Baiqiao replied solemnly. “This place is just a foothold for the sect.”
"Ha, found the Xuantian Pavilion?" Kong Yu was quite dismissive of this, considering it had been lost for over ten thousand years.
However, regardless of the circumstances, this is a matter of attitude. If you want to go back on your word... please consider the consequences first.
In fact, once he understood the other party's intentions and logic, he had an explanation for selling the spiritual vein!
"That's all for the future... If you're from such a small place, wouldn't it have been better to say so earlier?"
Seeing that even the Great Khan was starting to save face, Qu Jianlei shook his head, both amused and exasperated, "You really brought this on yourself!"
"It's easy for you to talk when you're not in the situation," Baiqiao said, completely disregarding the other party's earlier help. "If you've said that from the beginning, there's no way it'll work!"
This guy really knows how to handle it! For the first time, Qu Jianlei was a little impressed with him.
He chuckled, "It's just a fifth-tier spiritual vein, Daizhu, I can get you one too!"
"You cunning little rascal!" True Monarch Kongyu snorted. "Are you addicted to threatening the Great Monarch?"
Han Li couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly: This is clearly my forte!
"What do you know?" Baiqiao snorted. "Xuantian Pavilion was lost in Xingyi, which is also the territory of the Great Lord."
"What's wrong with the younger generation these days?" Kong Yu Zhenjun was both annoyed and amused. "They're all more insidious than the last!"
The space rippled slightly, and he asked in surprise, "Which fellow Daoist sealed off the space?"
"Taiyuan of Lingyun Sect," a female voice rang out, this time unusually cold and clear.
"You have insulted the acting leader of my sect. I originally intended to preserve this wisp of your divine consciousness."
This young lady is usually full of jokes and doesn't take things seriously, but when it comes to a serious matter, she really doesn't hesitate.
Kongyu Zhenjun originally intended to project a phantom image over to explain things clearly, but who would have thought that the other party would secretly make a move?
"Taiyuan... I've long admired your name. How come you all do things like this?"
"I didn't expect you to be such a sentimental person," the young lady replied lazily. "I've already left."
"What else can we do but retreat?" The space rippled, and a figure appeared.
Kongyu Zhenjun was truly enraged. "So you're planning to make a move here in this radiant place?"
The young woman replied dismissively, "I, Lingyun, am in charge, not as important as your tiny department."
These were harsh words, but True Monarch Kongyu tolerated them for a simple reason: he genuinely knew about Taiyuan Sea, as it was a senior figure there.
That's the comment made by True Lord Jiuping: He has only been in a state of spiritual separation for two thousand years, and is still a new True Lord!
After being distracted, it takes much longer to adapt to the corresponding state of mind than to be separated from the body.
Kong Yu was also well aware that her foundation was lacking.
They could exchange blows with someone like Jiuping, but their experience would definitely be far inferior.
As for Taiyuan Sea? It's been around for countless millennia!
Taiyuan is not known for her combat prowess, but she has witnessed too many discussions between True Lords, and the difference in their knowledge is like heaven and earth.
The new True Lord most wants to improve his knowledge, cultivation, and combat power. He can cultivate these on his own, but he can't fabricate his own insights.
Since the senior had said so, even if he was dissatisfied, he could only keep it to himself.
It's one thing that this person is of a high generation, but the real problem is that they might be useful in the future, so it's really not someone to mess with!
"Alright, Senior Taiyuan, let's just leave it at that. I was even planning to turn a blind eye and pretend I didn't hear anything!"
“How can we just let this go?” Tai Yuanhai objected. “Ling Yun is investigating Hao Ran, isn’t he, Bai Qiao?”
“Whatever you say,” Baiqiao replied listlessly. “Anyway, Lingyun and Haoran… uh, have a history.”
"Haoran..." Kongyu Zhenjun pondered for a moment before speaking in astonishment, "So your two families really do have a connection!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Fu, seemingly casually, and said, "I was saying that the aura emanating from this woman... is a bit strange."
His knowledge was indeed slightly inferior to Jiu Ping's, but Jiu Ping had seen Luo Fu's protective aura, making it easier for him to identify her.
"I am not yet a disciple of Haoran," Luo Fu replied weakly.
During my trip to Zhongling, my identity has been repeatedly exposed. What did I do to deserve this?
“Eight hundred years ago, it seems that a disciple of the Haoran Sect came down once,” Kongyu Zhenjun replied thoughtfully, “but he left not long afterward.”
"At that time, I heard that they were conquering two other worlds, but they didn't say much more about the specifics."
