142: Condolences to the Lord

The most enthusiastic was the newly appointed Sect Master of Diancang Sect.

He treated the two as honored guests.

He wished he could dismantle Wang Xifeng's mourning hall.

And replace everything with festive red to welcome the two.

The reason he valued the two so much was that if it weren't for them,

he wouldn't have become the Sect Master of Diancang Sect at all.

This newly appointed Sect Master of Diancang Sect was Sect Leader Zixu, the Elder who previously advised Wang Xifeng.

Sect Leader Zixu made no attempt to hide his joy.

Chatting and laughing, he arrived at the mourning hall with Haitang and the Sect Leader of Luo Yue.

Everyone thought they would offer condolences.

But the two merely walked around the mourning hall once.

The Sect Leader of Luo Yue, even more, disregarded everyone else's Face.

He circled the coffin once.

And even patted it with his hand.

Everyone heard the thudding sound from the coffin.

They felt a little worried for the deceased Wang Xifeng.

Surely he wouldn't be tormented by the Sect Leader of Luo Yue even after death, would he?

With just a few slaps from him,

the corpse inside would probably be shattered.

The Sect Leader of Luo Yue wasn't that depraved.

Of course.

He didn't have good intentions when he patted the coffin either.

He just wanted to test whether the person inside was alive or dead.

"Why do the two of you have time to come here?"

After inviting the two to the deliberation hall, Sect Leader Zixu asked curiously.

Now he was a Sect Master, more prestigious than when he was an Elder.

Haitang got straight to the point, saying without concealment:

"The previous Sect Master is dead."

"But the matter has not been resolved."

"We are here to ask the Sect Master:"

"How do you plan to handle the upcoming matters?"

Sect Leader Zixu was grateful to Yang Yi from the bottom of his heart.

If it weren't for Yang Yi, Wang Xifeng definitely wouldn't have died.

If he didn't die, how could he become the Sect Master?

So he could give them a pass.

And pretend this matter never happened.

However, he was the Sect Master of a Sect.

Everyone in Diancang Sect was watching him.

If he didn't handle this matter well, he probably wouldn't be able to sit firmly in the position of Sect Master.

He had also been worrying about this matter recently.

Today, all the right people had arrived.

The people from other Sects were not important.

Because they had benefited.

They could stand by.

The most crucial people were Haitang, the Sect Leader of Luo Yue, and Cang Jiuzhou.

These three people were here now.

He also wanted to discuss with these three how to handle the next steps.

"I am also worried about this matter."

"Do you have any good ideas?"

"It's best to resolve this matter peacefully."

The implied meaning was that he no longer wanted to be an enemy of the Yang family.

Moreover, he knew that Luoyue Sect and Haitang strongly supported the Yang family.

If they continued to oppose the Yang family, Diancang Sect would be the one to suffer.

This point was very clear to the other people in Diancang Sect.

So, even after knowing the Sect Master had died, they didn't go directly to the Yang family.

The old monsters in the Sect also issued an order for forbearance.

Forbearance was one thing.

But they couldn't lose the Face of Diancang Sect.

Therefore, this was the key to the problem.

How could Diancang Sect regain its Face, yet still coexist peacefully with the Yang family?

Cang Jiuzhou stroked his chin from the side and offered a solution.

"In my opinion,"

"why not let Yang Yi suffer a little?"

"Let him come to Diancang Sect to apologize."

"And kowtow a few times in front of Wang Xifeng's coffin."

"Then your Diancang Sect's Face will be restored."

Sect Leader Zixu was meticulous.

While nodding, he couldn't help but think to himself.

Given Yang Yi's personality, it was probably unlikely for him to kowtow.

If he dared to go against Diancang Sect, how could he be afraid of you?

Haitang immediately rejected Cang Jiuzhou's idea.

"Apologizing is fine."

"But kowtowing can be excused."

"Besides, Yang Yi has already paid a certain price."

"He has already agreed to give us a certain amount of Medicinal Pills."

Upon hearing about Medicinal Pills, Cang Jiuzhou and Sect Leader Zixu immediately perked up.

"How many Medicinal Pills did he promise us?" Cang Jiuzhou immediately asked.

Haitang appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly, she cursed Yang Yi.

If he could produce enough Medicinal Pills, this matter would be easy to resolve.

But now he couldn't, so she could only stall for time.

"He doesn't have enough Medicinal Pills right now."

"However, he promised the Twelve Sects that each Sect would receive one hundred Medicinal Pills."

"In other words,"

"each of our Sects can have one hundred more Life and Death Realm experts."

Cang Jiuzhou was somewhat surprised, not expecting Yang Yi to be so generous.

He immediately stood up, his gaze fixed on Haitang.

"Is that so?"

"Where are the Medicinal Pills?"

"This..." Haitang showed a troubled expression.

"One hundred Medicinal Pills for each of the Twelve Sects adds up to one thousand two hundred Medicinal Pills."

"Yang Yi can't just produce so many Medicinal Pills directly."

"We'll have to wait a while."

"I suppose you're not in a hurry."

"Not in a hurry, not in a hurry," Cang Jiuzhou said, though his earlier excitement seemed to have been doused with cold water.

He immediately calmed down.

If the goods weren't in hand, then things would be difficult to handle.

Sect Leader Zixu naturally understood the reasoning behind this.

And he felt that Haitang and Yang Yi might have another conspiracy.

What they said sounded good, but whether they would actually deliver was another matter.

He looked at Haitang and the Sect Leader of Luo Yue with some difficulty.

"It's hard to handle if the goods aren't in hand."

"I can give Yang Yi time."

"But the people from other Sects and the other members of Diancang Sect probably won't be willing to give him that time."

"It's better to have him quickly give us the Medicinal Pills."

"As for the apology,"

"I don't think it's necessary anymore."

"It's just a formality."

"As long as he gives us the goods,"

"I believe the people of Diancang Sect won't say anything more."

Haitang nodded silently, her heart like still water.

What to do?

These guys were clinging to the Medicinal Pills.

Stalling for a day or two was fine.

But if it dragged on for too long, it would probably incur their displeasure.

If they caused dissatisfaction again this time, it wouldn't just be Diancang Sect.

Besides Luoyue Sect, the people from the other eleven Sects would probably be unwilling.

At that time, if they went to the Yang family for trouble, even if the Yang family was strong, even with the help of Duobao Pavilion, it would probably be difficult to resolve the crisis.

Therefore, the only way was for Yang Yi to produce the Medicinal Pills as soon as possible.

"From your two's meaning,"

"as long as Yang Yi gives you the Medicinal Pills, this matter will be over."

Cang Jiuzhou immediately nodded.

Anyway, his Sect was intact.

It was Wang Xifeng who died.

Of course, he was happy.

Sect Leader Zixu also wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible, so he also nodded.

To buy time, Haitang asked the two of them to contact the people from other Sects again.

To see what the other Sects thought.

If the other Sects had no objections, he would have Yang Yi deliver the Medicinal Pills to the Twelve Sects as soon as possible.

After discussing this matter, Haitang and the Sect Leader of Luo Yue left Diancang Sect.

Haitang immediately returned to Tian Yuan City.

She found Yang Yi and told him about the agreed-upon matters.
