270: Chapter 270 Decision

This so-called confrontation ended in such a hurried manner.

Originally, other Disciples of the Spirit Treasury Realm from the Gu Family had wanted to take the stage.

But because of this incident, they were all cancelled.

However, they did receive a clear message.

That was that City Lord Gu Qinghe had come out of seclusion and would meet with them tomorrow.

"Not bad. It seems your Revered Master's discipline of you is usually too little; otherwise, your cultivation should be more than it is now."

Master Yun Hua said to Lin Ming.

"Revered Master, I have reached the requirements you set, haven't I?"

Lin Ming said immediately.

He had reached the goal of the Spirit Treasury Realm, so she couldn't keep making demands of him.

"Tell me what reward you want."

Master Yun Hua said.

"As for a reward, I don't have any ideas for now. Let's save it for later."

Lin Ming said.

Master Yun Hua also nodded slightly.

Lin Ming had indeed achieved the goal she had set for him.

But that didn't mean she would let Lin Ming off so easily.

She would let him relax for a few days, and then she would put more pressure on him.

...

"Revered Master."

Ancestor Li Haocang walked into a small courtyard.

He saw City Lord Gu Qinghe sitting inside.

"Haocang."

City Lord Gu Qinghe nodded.

"It's time to make a decision."

City Lord Gu Qinghe looked in a certain direction and said.

This decision wasn't one he wanted to make, but one they were forcing him to make.

During the conflict between the Righteous and Demonic Paths five hundred years ago, Tianyun City had always remained neutral and did not participate.

However, five hundred years later, he was being forced to make a choice.

Gu Qinghe naturally knew the reason behind it.

And after knowing this reason, Gu Qinghe had already made this decision in his heart.

It was just that he had been waiting.

"Revered Master, those guys from the Demonic Path are playing with fire."

Ancestor Li Haocang nodded.

Nightmare

He naturally knew of this thing and knew that it was something that had almost destroyed their Qingxuan Realm ten thousand years ago.

Ten thousand years ago, all living beings of both the Righteous and Demonic Paths in the Qingxuan Realm fought against the Nightmare together. After paying a heavy price, they drove them out of the Qingxuan Realm and sealed all the nodes.

But now, people of the Demonic Path were actually taking the initiative to contact the power of the Nightmare. This was playing with fire; one careless move could even repeat the disaster of ten thousand years ago.

One must know that the current Qingxuan Realm could not compare to the Qingxuan Realm of ten thousand years ago.

Whether in terms of the number or quality of experts, they were incomparable.

Ten thousand years ago, experts from the Qingxuan Realm frequently ascended to the Upper Realm. However, from that great catastrophe until now, very few cultivators from the Qingxuan Realm had ascended.

Even for himself, having reached the strength of the Nirvana Seventh Layer, Gu Qinghe had no confidence at all regarding Ascension.

Besides, he had lived long enough.

...

The next day

The Nirvana experts from several Sects also came to the small courtyard and met Gu Qinghe.

"Greetings, Senior Gu."

Several people also greeted him politely.

"No need for formalities."

Gu Qinghe said with a gentle expression.

"I am aware of why you all have come,"

Gu Qinghe said first.

"If you want me to deal with Hun Ming, I can't be expected to do it for nothing."

Gu Qinghe said.

Hun Ming was the Grand Elder of the Ghost Evil Sect, and his strength had also reached the Nirvana Seventh Layer.

A year ago, Hun Ming had acted to wipe out a Dynasty, and neither Mortals nor cultivators were spared.

However, this news was suppressed by the major Sects working together and did not spread in the cultivation world.

"Naturally, we won't let Senior Gu act for nothing."

Granny Qiansi said.

"These are our terms."

Granny Qiansi took out a Jade Slip, which then left her hand and flew in front of Gu Qinghe.

"Not enough."

Gu Qinghe briefly looked at the terms inside and shook his head.

The terms they offered were indeed generous, but in Gu Qinghe's view, they were still not enough.

They did not meet his expectations.

"Everything is negotiable."

...

After the trip to the Gu Family

Several people also returned to the inn.

"We need to stay in Tianyun City for a few more days."

After leaving these words, Master Yun Hua left the inn.

This is different from what Revered Master said before. Didn't she say we would leave after visiting the Gu Family? Why are we staying for a few more days?

Lin Ming guessed that this should be related to the conversation within the Gu Family.

However, staying for a few days is fine.

Just as well, he still had things to do in the city, such as collecting his earnings from the two chambers of commerce.

"Mr. Lin, this is an invitation from Miss Pei Daiqing."

An errand boy knocked on Lin Ming's door and delivered an invitation to him.

"Wait."

Lin Ming called out to the errand boy.

The errand boy instantly became nervous; he knew the identity of this gentleman.

He was also afraid of offending him.

"Who is this Pei Daiqing?"

Lin Ming asked.

"Pei Daiqing is a member of the Pei Family."

The errand boy said.

"The Pei Family is a local Family in Tianyun City, with several Other Shore Realm experts in the Family."

"They have many industries in Tianyun City and the surrounding areas, and even the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce has the involvement of the Pei Family."

Perhaps realizing that Lin Ming didn't know about the Pei Family, the errand boy quickly explained.

"The Pei Family is related to the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce?"

Lin Ming suddenly became interested.

He didn't know about this.

"Yes, the Pei Family is also one of the founders of the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce. One of the two Vice-Chamber Master positions in the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce is held by a branch of the Pei Family."

The errand boy continued.

This wasn't a secret in Tianyun City; you could find out by asking any local.

"It is said that the Young Chamber Master of the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce has fallen ill with some unknown sickness and is about to die, and the Chamber Master is also dying. There is no heir to the position, and many people are eyeing it now."

The errand boy looked around cautiously and whispered.

A struggle for the position of Chamber Master?

Lin Ming understood quite a bit from this.

A Medium Grade Essence Stone appeared in Lin Ming's hand and was thrown to the errand boy.

"Thank you, sir."

After receiving the Medium Grade Essence Stone, the errand boy beamed with joy.

One must know that his annual income wasn't even one Medium Grade Essence Stone. As expected of a Disciple from a great Sect, he was truly generous.

"Tell me about Pei Daiqing."

Lin Ming continued.

"Pei Daiqing, the eldest daughter of the current Grand Elder of the Pei Family, is a famous beauty in our Tianyun City. Many people are pursuing her."

"I heard that she has private contact with Young Masters from several families."

The errand boy's voice became quiet again.

He only dared to say this to Lin Ming when no one was around. If someone else heard it and reported it to the Pei Family, he would be finished.

"In the future, if anyone from the Pei Family sends a similar invitation, just handle it yourself."

Lin Ming said.

He had no interest at all in Pei Daiqing, a person he didn't know.

A honey trap?

She was indeed beautiful, that much was undeniable.

But compared to those around Lin Ming, she was still a bit lacking.
