643: You idiot!

His gaze swept across the scene, and he instantly understood the situation!

Seeing Tu Wanxiong actually pressuring Yun Ruoning's carriage, a monstrous rage instantly ignited in Ye Wushang's eyes!

"Tu Wanxiong! You idiot! You're looking for death!!"

Ye Wushang's enraged voice was like a physical sound wave, making everyone's eardrums ache with pain!

The next second!

Slap!!!

A resounding slap, crossing through space, struck Tu Wanxiong' terrified face with extreme force!

Boom!

Tu Wanxiong' mountain-like, burly body felt as if it had been struck head-on by an Ancient Savage Elephant.

He was sent flying through the air like a tattered sack, spinning until he smashed violently into the incredibly sturdy Mysterious Iron wall of Black Stone Pass!

The hard wall was instantly smashed into a giant human-shaped crater, with stone fragments flying everywhere!

Half of Tu Wanxiong' face immediately swelled up, a bloody mess, and several bloody teeth mixed with internal organ fragments were spat out!

He slumped at the bottom of the pit like a dead dog, with countless bones broken throughout his body; the Protective Aura of a Void Refining expert shattered like paper!

"You bastard! Is Young Miss Yun's carriage something an idiot like you can inspect?! Who gave you the audacity?!"

Ye Wushang's roar echoed through the clouds, carrying a chilling killing intent:

"Get your ass back to the Nine Nether Sect and reflect on your actions in the Myriad Evil Demon Cave for a year! If you dare do this again, I will personally extract your soul to light a sky lantern!!"

Tu Wanxiong lay at the bottom of the pit, his eyes vacant, filled with fear and disbelief.

He never expected that this lady's status would be so significant!

Even the Vice Sect Master was so wary upon seeing her that he didn't hesitate to strike him so heavily!

Ye Wushang didn't even look at Tu Wanxiong at the bottom of the pit. He instantly switched to a slightly stiff but as gentle as possible smiling face.

Although it looked worse than crying, he cupped his fists toward Yun Ruoning's carriage and said:

"Young Miss Yun, please appease your anger! It was my lack of discipline that allowed this blind fool to disturb you!

I hope you, Young Miss, can be magnanimous and not lower yourself to this idiot's level!"

Yun Ruoning's cold voice came out:

"Hmph! Vice Gate Master Ye, is this how your Nine Nether Sect treats honored guests?

A Hall Master dares to stop my carriage and search my convoy at will?

If this is truly the case, I, Yun Ruoning, will send word back to the Yun Province headquarters today. In the future, regarding our trade shares with the Xuan Ye Dynasty and the

Nine Nether Sect... it seems they will need to be re-evaluated!"

"Trade shares?!" Ye Wushang's heart jolted, and the fake smile on his face almost couldn't be maintained!

The Xuan Ye Dynasty, controlled by the Nine Nether Sect, produced many minerals and Spirit Medicines unique to the Demon Domain that were priceless in the Eastern Domain and Demon Domain.

And the White Cloud Merchant Guild was their largest and most crucial trading partner!

For many core resources, only the White Cloud Merchant Guild had the channels and ability to safely and efficiently transport them to the Eastern Domain and Demon Domain and sell them at high prices!

If the White Cloud Merchant Guild reduced or even cut off trade... the Nine Nether Sect's income would plummet by more than thirty percent!

Moreover, they wouldn't be able to find a power to replace the White Cloud Merchant Guild in a short time!

Going through multiple middlemen would not only be troublesome, with costs and risks increasing dramatically, but the final profit would be greatly discounted!

This was practically seizing the Nine Nether Sect's lifeblood!

Cold sweat instantly appeared on Ye Wushang's forehead!

He suddenly turned his head to look at Tu Wanxiong, who had just struggled to crawl out of the pit, his face swollen like a pig's head and spitting blood, and a cold light burst from his eyes!

"Idiot! Kneel down for me!!" Ye Wushang shouted, containing a terrifying pressure that bore down directly on Tu Wanxiong!

Thump!

Under Ye Wushang's overwhelming power, the heavily injured Tu Wanxiong couldn't resist at all. His knees smashed violently onto the hard stone ground in utter humiliation!

His kneecaps shattered instantly! Blood stained the ground red!

"Kowtow! Apologize to Young Miss Yun!!" Ye Wushang's cold voice was like a death warrant.

Tu Wanxiong was filled with humiliation and fear, but facing Ye Wushang's naked killing intent,

he could only endure the intense pain and humiliation, and thudded his head against the ground several times toward Yun Ruoning's carriage!

Each strike was incredibly heavy, cracking the ground!

"Young... Young Miss Yun... it was this sub... subordinate's blindness... that offended you... I deserve ten thousand deaths... I beg for... mercy..."

Tu Wanxiong' voice was hoarse and trembling, filled with bloody froth.

Yun Ruoning watched Ye Wushang's handling of the situation and Tu Wanxiong' miserable state, knowing it was about enough.

Pushing too hard might instead make Ye Wushang act out of desperation. She snorted coldly:

"Fine! Since Vice Gate Master Ye has already punished him, if I continue to dwell on it, I would seem petty."

She paused, then said coldly: "However, to prove the innocence of my White Cloud Merchant Guild and to prevent anyone from gossiping in the future, saying I harbored a criminal..."

She raised her jade-like hand and directly pulled open the heavy carriage curtain!

"See for yourselves! See if this carriage of mine contains the 'Mad Extreme Old Devil' you're looking for, or that 'Heavily Injured Rogue Cultivator'?!"

The interior of the carriage was instantly exposed to everyone's eyes!

Ye Wushang said, "No need, no need, Young Miss Yun's words are too serious!"

But the corner of his eye was like the most precise probe, instantly sweeping through the interior of the carriage!

He saw that the carriage interior was luxuriously and elegantly decorated. Besides Yun Ruoning, who sat upright in the center with a frost-covered face,

there was only a young man dressed in ordinary green cloth clothes, with a face so plain it had no distinguishing features,

standing respectfully to the side with a trace of panic and bewilderment on his face.

What he emitted was an incredibly pure, peaceful, and gentle wood-attribute spiritual Qi fluctuation,

which was worlds apart from the sinister and withered Soul Transformation rogue Cultivator on the portrait, as well as the monstrous Devilish Qi of the Mad Extreme Old Devil!

He was completely a wood-attribute Cultivator with ordinary Aptitude!

The last trace of doubt in Ye Wushang's heart completely dissipated!

He even vaguely felt that this idiot Tu Wanxiong had not only offended the White Cloud Merchant Guild but also wasted a large amount of the Sect's human and material resources; he truly deserved to die!

"Young Miss Yun! A misunderstanding! A huge misunderstanding!" Ye Wushang forced a smile that looked worse than crying, repeatedly cupping his hands,

"It was all this idiot Tu Wanxiong acting on his own, not knowing what's good for him! He disturbed you, Young Miss, and I am deeply ashamed! I hope you can be forgiving!"

He suddenly turned his head and shouted to Cang Bai and the members of the merchant convoy:

"Why aren't you quickly escorting Young Miss Yun out of the pass?! If anyone dares to be a step slow, I'll skin them alive!"

After saying that, he bowed deeply toward Yun Ruoning's carriage again:

"Young Miss Yun, have a safe journey! The Nine Nether Sect will surely compensate you for today's matter! I will personally visit to apologize another day!"

The White Cloud Merchant Guild's carriages, under the "escort" personally arranged by Ye Wushang,

slowly drove out of the deep gateway of Black Stone Pass under countless reverent, fearful, and complex gazes.

The carriage curtain was lowered.

Inside the carriage, silence returned.

The "plain-looking" young wood Cultivator's panic instantly vanished, and the corner of his mouth curled into an imperceptible arc, tinged with a bit of playfulness and coldness.

Yun Ruoning looked at him and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, then a winner's smile, tinged with a bit of cunning, appeared on her face.
