Chapter 1237: Chapter 1087: Sudden Backing Or perhaps, if I were to duel with Si Haixian using the minor success of Cyan Lotus Sword Intent, could I win?
Si Haixian stood with his hands behind his back, chuckling casually, "Jun Tianyi once said that you are an extremely proud person, with an innate arrogance. Today, seeing you, it’s truly as the reputation suggests—welcoming words on your lips, yet your back straighter than anyone’s."
"Uh..."
Wen Ping was at a loss for what to say.
The Great Domain Master of the Primordial Yang Domain is surprisingly frank.
Of course, to put it harshly, it’s just that he’s not adept at conversation.
Some things are better left unsaid to avoid awkwardness.
But this also shows that the Great Domain Master of the Primordial Yang Domain doesn’t seem to be a difficult person to deal with on the surface.
Because he didn’t immediately give him a blow to establish dominance.
Giving a blow to establish dominance is something that people in power often like to do, but this Great Domain Master did not.
As Wen Ping was unsure of what to say, Si Haixian spoke again, "Sect Leader Wen, no need to worry, I never care much for these rituals. Those who respect me naturally earn my respect; those who do not, bowing is just an act."
"The Great Domain Master is truly an intriguing person."
Wen Ping responded with a smile.
Indeed, the words and actions of Si Haixian had left him with a favorable impression.
Even though he had sent away the people from Celestial Industry, causing them to arrive at Divine Flight City only to find nothing, the root of Si Haixian’s actions was helping him.
Though his motive was to target the Purple Treasure Pavilion, in helping the Immortal Sect, he didn’t ask for them to pay first—this is foresight!
But at this moment, Wen Ping glanced around and noticed that Celestial String was unexpectedly not present. Using his spiritual power, he found Celestial String lying in a room upstairs, his aura weak, with blood coughing so severe it dyed his upper body.
Wen Ping asked H Lan, "I arrived in less than half a moment, why is Celestial String so severely injured?"
Just as H Lan downstairs was about to respond, Si Haixian took over the conversation.
"The one who struck is named Feng Qian, the senior brother of Celestial Industry Divine General. Feng Qian’s power ranks among the top ten of strong figures in the Primordial Yang Domain and Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm. Celestial String is not considered a strong figure in Heaven Unrestricted Lower Realm, but managed to take two punches defensively, and this level of injury is already fortunate."
Having said that, Si Haixian’s gaze fixed on Wen Ping’s face, hoping to see some change.
Fear would do.
Surprise would do.
And yet, Wen Ping remained unfazed, responding without hesitation, "He ranks in the top ten, no wonder Celestial String got hurt like this. Feng Qian, is it? Interesting..."
Because Wen Ping genuinely didn’t want Celestial Industry’s reinforcement to be of poor quality, if a single sword could slash them, it would be too boring.
Since he ranks in the top ten.
Just as he hoped!
After hearing Wen Ping’s words, Si Haixian couldn’t help but smile.
A thought arose naturally.
A peculiar person!
He had originally thought Wen Ping, after knowing Feng Qian’s reputation, would at least frown, given Feng Qian’s infamous name throughout the You Country.
Just the act of tearing apart Heaven Unrestricted made many of its strong figures break into a cold sweat.
Yet Wen Ping not only lacked fear, but there was even a glint of anticipation in his eyes, as if he was looking forward to a duel with Feng Qian.
Though he appreciated Wen Ping’s character, Si Haixian advised against it, "I’ve already dismissed Feng Qian and the others for you, don’t seek trouble with them again; otherwise, if this gets to Prince Longyang, you’ll create trouble all the same. You have enough on your plate already!"
Wen Ping did not respond to Si Haixian’s words.
Because this matter was not negotiable.
Celestial String was beaten; how could he, as the Sect Leader, remain indifferent?
Since he didn’t want to answer, Wen Ping abruptly changed the topic to ask in front of everyone, "Is the Great Domain Master trying to recruit my Immortal Sect?"
Seeing Wen Ping ask this question openly, Si Haixian didn’t bother to hide anymore, frankly stating, "No, the Domain Master simply wants to protect Purple Treasure Pavilion. Purple Treasure Pavilion can usher in a new era, which is exactly what You Country needs right now! However, if Sect Leader Wen no longer brings me new troubles, I can bear those troubles for you."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Purple Treasure Pavilion fell silent.
To bear all troubles!
The Great Domain Master truly treats the Immortal Sect so well?
But the troubles Immortal Sect caused involved Zeming Palace and Thousand Crafts Sect, the former akin to a branch of Prince Longyang’s line, and the latter even stronger than Prince Longyang’s line.
The Great Domain Master just takes it on.
And this was said in front of everyone, meaning there’s no room for backtracking!
Yet, just as everyone thought the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect would readily accept the olive branch, his words astonished everyone again.
"If the Great Domain Master wants the Purple Treasure Pavilion for future use, I advise dropping this notion early. The Purple Treasure Pavilion, whether now or in the future, will treat everyone, every force, equally. To buy a Vortex Map or a Vortex Killing Artifact, one must either get it first or rely on luck for purchasing eligibility—there is no third option."
Unsurprisingly, when Wen Ping spoke those words, the smile on Si Haixian’s face froze abruptly, replaced by a hint of anger.
"Do you know how strong Zeming Palace and Thousand Crafts Sect are, with their resources and support?" Si Haixian asked solemnly, his tone carrying displeasure and a touch of threat.
Wen Ping casually replied, "If I feared them, I would not have killed Xinghai Yue or Lin Yehong."
