Chapter 298: Is This The Result You Give Me?

With the fall of Zhulong, the Corpse Yin Sect immediately burst into an uproar.

As the Saint of the Corpse Yin Sect, Zhulong himself had the Cultivation of a Nine Revolution Great Emperor, and he even had an Early Stage Emperor Realm Corpse Puppet by his side.

Unless those old monsters from the Xuantian Continent made a move, Zhulong was in an invincible state, and no one could do anything to him.

However, the Xuantian Merchant Guild was clearly not among them.

Heavenly Underworld, the Sect Master of the Corpse Yin Sect, had a face as dark as water, and then he said coldly, “Have Yang Qingtian come to see me.”

After a while, a person dressed in gold and silver, with a large head, big ears, and a rosy complexion, walked into the Corpse Yin Sect’s main hall.

“Your subordinate Yang Qingtian greets Sect Master.”

At this moment, Yang Qingtian secretly thought, “It’s the first time the Sect Master has summoned me alone. Could it be some kind of reward?”

“Has my chance, Yang Qingtian’s, finally arrived?”

Heavenly Underworld said indifferently, “Yang Qingtian, I told you to annex the Xuantian Merchant Guild. How is that going?”

Hearing this, Yang Qingtian smiled and said, “Sect Master, rest assured. Eighty percent of the Xuantian Merchant Guild’s market in the Central Region has already been annexed by my Tianbao Pavilion.”

“Furthermore, many of their Xuantian Merchant Guild’s offerings have now defected to our Tianbao Pavilion.”

“The current Xuantian Merchant Guild is nothing more than a toothless tiger to my Tianbao Pavilion; it can be extinguished with a flick of the hand.”

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Underworld’s expression turned grim.

“A toothless tiger? Why would a toothless tiger possess heavenly thunder divine bamboo? Why would a toothless tiger annihilate Zhulong, the Saint of my Corpse Yin Sect?”

“Is this the result you give me?”

Then he struck Yang Qingtian with a palm.

Yang Qingtian spat blood and flew backward, but at this moment, he no longer cared about his injuries.

Zhulong’s demise was a monumental event. Although he was the Pavilion Master of Tianbao Pavilion, in the eyes of the Corpse Yin Sect, he couldn’t even compare to a single strand of Zhulong’s hair.

Then he knelt on the ground.

“Sect Master, please give me another chance. Your subordinate will surely destroy the Xuantian Merchant Guild and avenge Saint Zhulong.”

Heavenly Underworld’s expression was cold, then he took out a Medicinal Pill and said coldly, “Eat this Medicinal Pill.”

Upon seeing the Medicinal Pill, Yang Qingtian’s face turned pale.

“Sect Master, I will definitely eradicate the Xuantian Merchant Guild within three days. If I cannot accomplish it, I, Yang Qingtian, will bring my head to you.”

Heavenly Underworld frowned slightly, then a murderous aura emanated from him.

Seeing this situation, Yang Qingtian had no choice but to bite the bullet and consume the Medicinal Pill.

This Medicinal Pill was specially made by the Corpse Yin Sect, containing a Corpse Transformation Worm. If a living person consumed it and did not receive an antidote within ten days, they could only watch helplessly as their entire body festered and turned into a rotten corpse, and this process would last for a full three years.

Heavenly Underworld said coldly, “I’ll give you ten days. If you can’t deal with the Xuantian Merchant Guild within ten days, then you don’t need to come back.”

Yang Qingtian nodded, then knelt on the ground and slowly exited the Corpse Yin Sect’s main hall.

After Yang Qingtian left, Heavenly Underworld said coldly, “Xuantian Merchant Guild, let me see what capabilities you truly possess, and who is truly behind you.”

Clearly, Heavenly Underworld kept Yang Qingtian alive to use him as bait.

Heavenly Underworld did not believe that a small Xuantian Merchant Guild could produce such a strange item.

Nor did it have the ability to kill Zhulong.

“Let me see if the Law Enforcement Hall or the Xuantian Divine Dynasty is truly behind you.”

As for Tianji Pavilion and Dark Night Hall, he didn't even put them in his eyes.

Moreover, the Corpse Yin Sect had already taken action against the two forces, and he believed that it wouldn't be long before Dark Night Hall and Tianji Pavilion would submit.

Because if you don't submit, you will die.

Upon returning to Tianbao Pavilion, Yang Qingtian said angrily, “Gather all Emperor Realm offerings, Elders, and deacons of Tianbao Pavilion for a round table meeting.”

Soon, over a thousand high-ranking officials of Tianbao Pavilion were seated around a massive round table, among whom were the hundreds of offerings who had just left the Xuantian Merchant Guild.

The round table was polished from a single piece of Top-Grade Spirit Stone, which was enough to show the extravagance of Tianbao Pavilion.

“This Tianbao Pavilion’s luxury is truly not to be underestimated; it’s much stronger than the Xuantian Merchant Guild.”

“That’s right, look at this conference table, it’s made of Top-Grade Spirit Stone. Only something like this can match our status as Great Emperors.”

“Who says it isn’t? The Xuantian Merchant Guild is truly stingy. If I had known that Tianbao Pavilion’s annual salary was hundreds of thousands of Top-Grade Spirit Stones, I would have come to Tianbao Pavilion much earlier.”

“Yes, what a huge loss.”

“Hmph, when I see that idiot Xu Tiancheng next time, I’ll make sure to mock him thoroughly.”

“Tsk, those guys, they always talk about loyalty. In the world of Cultivation, where is there any loyalty to speak of? I think those guys are just Cultivating themselves silly, risking their lives for five thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones a year, truly foolish.”

“Alright, stop talking. The Pavilion Master is about to start the meeting.”

At this moment, Yang Qingtian looked at the hundreds of offerings who had newly joined Tianbao Pavilion and said, “Zhao Feng, you came from the Xuantian Merchant Guild, and you have the highest Cultivation, reaching Six Revolution Great Emperor. Have you ever heard of a rare item like heavenly thunder divine bamboo in the Xuantian Merchant Guild?”

Zhao Feng looked puzzled. He couldn't understand why the topic had shifted to him. He was momentarily excited, then said, “Pavilion Master, I have been in the Xuantian Merchant Guild for so many years, and I have never heard of the Xuantian Merchant Guild having heavenly thunder divine bamboo.”

Yang Qingtian showed a puzzled expression.

“The Sect Master said the Xuantian Merchant Guild has heavenly thunder divine bamboo, but those offerings from the Xuantian Merchant Guild say they don’t. Where did the Sect Master get this information?”

Then Yang Qingtian said, “Zhao Feng, I’ll assign you a task. Go back to the Xuantian Merchant Guild and gather information. See if there have been any changes in the Xuantian Merchant Guild.”

Zhao Feng nodded excitedly. He had long wanted to go to the Xuantian Merchant Guild to show off to Xu Tiancheng.

Then he readily agreed.

Yang Qingtian continued, “How has the matter of the Five Elements Emperor Sect been handled? Also, why was Yang Wei not present at today’s meeting?”

Upon hearing this, the entire conference room instantly fell silent, and no one dared to speak.

“I asked you how the matter has been handled.”

Yang Qingtian asked again coldly.

At this moment, a deacon, with sweat on his forehead, said, “Pavilion Master, the Five Elements Emperor Sect has disappeared, and the Young Lord is also missing. However, Pavilion Master, we are currently searching with all our might.”

Yang Qingtian directly slammed a palm onto the Top-Grade Spirit Stone table, and instantly cracks appeared on the table.

“What do you mean ‘disappeared’? How can such a large Sect just disappear? Don’t you find this very amusing?”

“Pavilion Master, it’s true. The entire Five Elements Emperor Sect, even its base, is gone. Only a giant pit remains at the site.”

Yang Qingtian sighed, feeling as if troubles were piling up.

Then he said, “Everyone, go investigate for me. Even if you have to search the entire Central Continent, you must find out.”

At this moment, a Disciple of Tianbao Pavilion rushed over.

“Pavilion Master, Young Lord Yang Wei’s soul tablet just completely shattered. The Young Lord has fallen.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Qingtian directly slumped into his chair.

Then he said furiously, “Investigate for me! Find out who did this!”

“How dare they kill my son? I will make sure he dies without a burial place!”
