768: A good show

Top floor of Wanbao Pavilion.

Inside the room.

"Damn it!"

Seeing Xie Wudao, who was filled with murderous intent, Xu Yun cursed inwardly, regretting a little.

If he hadn't been afraid of causing a misunderstanding with Wang Chen, he absolutely would not have intervened just now.

That way, Xie Wudao would either be dead or crippled by now, and he wouldn't have the chance to be so arrogant.

With Senior Wang Chen's strength, he could surely crush Xie Wudao like an ant.

Thinking coldly to himself, Xu Yun met Xie Wudao's gaze without fear, and asked sharply:

"Your Wanbao Chamber of Commerce's reach is growing longer and longer. You dare to meddle in the family affairs of my Xuantian Holy Land. Do you really think the Holy Land's Enforcement Hall is just for show?!"

Hearing his words, the sneer on Xie Wudao's face froze, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

The struggle for the Saint position in Xuantian Holy Land has been going on for a long time; it could even be said that the Grand Elders intentionally indulge it.

Their intention is to select the strongest one through this competition.

This kind of competition does not prohibit the forces behind each competitor from participating, as background is also a part of strength.

However, although it's not prohibited, it's only done in the shadows. On the surface, everyone maintains a harmonious facade.

Moreover, internal competition within the Holy Land is already the limit that the Grand Elders can tolerate. If outsiders intervene, that would be a provocation.

No matter who it is, they must carefully consider the consequences of angering the behemoth that is Xuantian Holy Land.

So, for a moment, being questioned by Xu Yun, Xie Wudao felt a bit cowardly.

He was merely a first-class offering in the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, taking money to do business; why would he risk his life!

And it wasn't just him; Zhao Tianci's eyes were also full of apprehension when he heard the words "Enforcement Hall."

Those guys in the Enforcement Hall were all unapproachable, ruthless individuals who recognized no one but the Holy Land's laws!

If they caught a handle, one would truly be stripped of a layer of skin.

Even if he had an Inner Elder backing him, it wouldn't help.

Because the Enforcement Hall reports directly to the Holy Land's Holy Lord and Grand Elders; to ask them for mercy, one would have to be a direct Bloodline of a Grand Elder.

"Elder Xu's words are a bit harsh!"

Zhao Tianci looked at Xu Yun with cold eyes, then suddenly said with a smile:

"I was just joking with Elder Xu; Elder Xu actually took it seriously!"

"You, Senior, have worked tirelessly for the Holy Land; how could you be such a treacherous person who corrupts the Holy Land's reputation?"

"However…"

After a small compliment to Xu Yun, Zhao Tianci then changed the subject and looked at Wang Chen:

"This pretty boy clearly isn't a good person, and he shows no respect for the Holy Land. I think his approach to you, Elder Xu, is likely with ill intent."

"Today, I'll help you capture him and interrogate him thoroughly, lest he commit an unforgivable crime in the future and implicate you, Elder Xu."

Unable to lay hands on Xu Yun, Zhao Tianci shifted his target to Wang Chen.

He had already seen that this person was highly valued by Xu Yun, who was willing to confront him to protect him, so his relationship with Bai Yuliang must be extraordinary.

Capturing this person would surely deal a heavy blow to Bai Yuliang.

Moreover…

Zhao Tianci had an ordinary appearance and hated handsome men more than anything. Every time he saw one, he wished he could tear off their face.

This person's appearance was the most extraordinary he had ever seen, surpassing Bai Yuliang, who was known as the most handsome man in Xuantian Holy Land, by ten times.

Zhao Tianci had long harbored murderous intent.

As his words fell, Xie Wudao behind him walked out with a sinister grin, his eyes full of malice as he looked at Wang Chen.

However, just as he took two steps, he suddenly paused, a figure blocking his path.

Looking at the person who suddenly appeared, Xie Wudao's face showed apprehension, and he hesitated for a moment.

Because this person was none other than Bai Yuliang, the Saint of Xuantian Holy Land.

At this moment, Bai Yuliang didn't even look at Xie Wudao; his cold gaze fell directly on Zhao Tianci.

"Zhao True Disciple, you want to harm my friend, Bai Yuliang, for no reason. Do you really think you can control everything in this Wanbao Pavilion?!"

"This Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is not surnamed Zhao, nor is it your Zhao family's private property!"

Looking at Zhao Tianci, Bai Yuliang said coldly.

The Wanbao Chamber of Commerce had been intertwined with Xuantian Holy Land since its inception. Its original founder was an Inner Sect Disciple of Xuantian Holy Land. After it grew and expanded, the original founder's Bloodline was severed, and Xuantian Holy Land then dispatched an Elder to take over the position of president, with each term lasting fifty years.

During his tenure as president, Vast Treasure True Lord successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the Ninth Stage, and thereafter firmly held control of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, subtly transforming it into his Zhao family's sole Chamber of Commerce.

Within Xuantian Holy Land, some people had long been dissatisfied with this, and Bai Yuliang and Xu Yun were among them. It was precisely because of this that Bai Yuliang and Zhao Tianci had virtually fallen out.

"Hahaha, Saint is truly impressive!"

"It seems you've gained a lot during this time out, but…"

Hearing Bai Yuliang's words, Zhao Tianci sneered, his eyes full of mockery:

"You seem to have some opinion about my father presiding over the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce. How about I act as a go-between and arrange for you, Saint, to meet my father?"

"I'm sure at that time, after you, Saint, present the pros and cons, my father will be so ashamed that he will relinquish the position of president of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce to you, or rather, to Elder Xu Yun."

As Zhao Tianci's words fell, both Bai Yuliang and Xu Yun couldn't help but twitch their faces.

So ashamed?

Vast Treasure True Lord's reputation for narrow-mindedness was spread throughout the Netherworld. If one were to tell him to his face that he was monopolizing the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, their ashes would probably be scattered as soon as they finished speaking.

"All you do is talk big. I haven't seen you for a while, Zhao True Disciple, and your verbal skills have improved, but your strength still hasn't made any progress!"

"I think in the True Disciple competition a few years from now, Zhao True Disciple will probably fail!"

"That's right, your Aptitude is low; it was already a Heavenly Gift that you managed to obtain the True Disciple position. It's normal for you to revert to your original state."

Glancing at Zhao Tianci, Bai Yuliang directly changed the subject.

"You…"

Hearing his words, Zhao Tianci's face flushed, and fire seemed to spray from his eyes.

His strength was not weak; he reached the Sixth Stage Early Stage at twenty-five, and his Aptitude was not low, belonging to the upper-middle class.

But compared to Bai Yuliang, it was the difference between a stone and gold.

This move by Bai Yuliang was truly a direct taunt!

Zhao Tianci's killing intent surged. If looks could kill, Bai Yuliang would have been torn into pieces by him by now.

However, at this moment, after mocking him, Bai Yuliang couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Zhao Tianci.

Although Xie Wudao, whom Zhao Tianci brought, was stronger, Bai Yuliang was certain that even if the other party wished to tear him into pieces, he wouldn't dare to attack him here.

Green Field Town was a place with many eyes and ears; once the news leaked and reached Xuantian Holy Land, even if Zhao Tianci's parents were a Ninth Stage powerhouse, Vast Treasure True Lord, and a Holy Land Inner Elder, they wouldn't be able to protect him!

"Wang… Brother?"

Bai Yuliang turned his head, looking respectfully at Wang Chen, the word "Senior" almost slipping out.

Wang Chen had already instructed him not to call him that outside. Although calling him "Brother Wang" also made Wang Chen sound old, it was less attention-grabbing than "Senior."
