111: Kill the Refining Alliance

The next day, he did not wake up very early. These days, he had been busy with matters concerning Linlang Pavilion and was indeed a bit tired. However, this was unavoidable. Plus, having performed a Simulation yesterday, he had slept in. He silently recited the Golden Light Incantation twenty times before getting up. According to the Simulation, people from the Artifact Refining Alliance would come to scout today. Well then, he would finish them off. This group of people was truly annoying, just like clowns jumping on a beam.

Logically speaking, if you want to open a business, there is nothing wrong with a monopoly, as that maximizes profit. However, when selling goods, the quality of your own products is what matters most. These people do not properly improve their Artifact Refining levels or refine their abilities; instead, they are always thinking about these Evil Paths. Even if Gu Yuchuan did not appear, they would not have a good ending in the future.

Gu Yuchuan stood on the third floor of Linlang Pavilion, from where he could observe the outside. However, he had not seen anything yet; they probably had not arrived yet. He thought about it and called Song Chuan over.

"There might be a battle here today. Someone is displeased with our Linlang Pavilion opening and wants to use some tricks. Tell the people below not to go out for these two days and to stay inside Linlang Pavilion. The same goes for you; with your level of cultivation, you won't survive. As long as you don't go out, you will be absolutely safe."

Song Chuan's expression changed, but he had anticipated this day. Such a large enterprise, the money it could earn was immeasurable; there would certainly be people with ulterior motives.

"My King, I will watch over them. However, My King must take care of yourself; My King's safety is the most important thing."

Gu Yuchuan smiled and waved his hand: "Rest assured. My strength and cultivation are not something they can compare to."

After speaking, he signaled for the other to leave. Song Chuan did not tell the serving maids below directly about this matter. After all, they were all Mortals, and the fighting between Cultivators was a very distant affair for them. They would certainly be afraid, and this fear would surely affect them, so Song Chuan changed his way of speaking.

"Now, our Linlang Pavilion is about to open, so everything in the shop must be kept confidential, including the renovations and our activities after opening. Therefore, starting today, you are not allowed to go out until the shop opens. Do you understand? If anyone goes out, they don't need to continue working here. Do you understand?"

The few of them still felt some fear toward Song Chuan. Firstly, Song Chuan had not transformed and was in a pure Yao Race state, which was a strong visual impact for Mortals. Secondly, Song Chuan was their immediate superior and managed them directly; facing their immediate superior, they were certainly afraid.

They promised repeatedly that they would not go out before the opening, and the matter was finally settled.

Now, Gu Yuchuan could also feel the aura of Cultivators. Although they used concealment techniques, this was Bright Stream. Gu Yuchuan was the master of Bright Stream and could feel them completely. This was the benefit brought about by the actual enfeoffment; in Bright Stream, he indeed possessed stronger insight and combat power. He did not know how the other party dared to come.

He assessed the situation and prepared to give them an opportunity. If he stayed in Linlang Pavilion and did not come out, they would not dare to make a move.

He thought about it; he had not returned to the Flood Dragon Palace for some time. It was just right to take this time to go home and have a look. The Spiritual Qi there was also more abundant, and cultivation was faster. On the way, he could just tidy them up. What were they? Did they deserve him to treat them seriously?

He leisurely dawdled until noon, even ate some food in Linlang Pavilion, before starting to go out. He was even afraid that the other party would not dare to make a move, so he pretended that he had drunk some alcohol and was in a slightly drunk state. If they still didn't dare to make a move, then there was no need to fight. They lacked even that much courage yet wanted to learn to kill others; it was simply ridiculous.

Sure enough, just a few steps after Gu Yuchuan walked, five Yao creatures dressed in black jumped out. However, they were not in true human form, so one could still tell who they were. This concealment was simply useless.

With a sweeping glance, he saw the Bixian Demon General whom he had just met yesterday. The cat ears on her head and the cat tail behind her could not be hidden at all. How could he not recognize her? They were really treating him like a fool.

"Yo, isn't this the Bixian Demon General I just met yesterday? What are you doing dressed like this today? You are even wearing night-traveling clothes. Look up, it is broad daylight and the world is bright. Isn't your attire even more obvious? Aren't you telling everyone that you are about to do something bad? Isn't this a bit too outrageous?"

This Bixian Demon General cursed directly: "Snake Yao, since you know who we are, why don't you surrender? The five of us all have Spiritual Artifacts. Even if your Bloodline is powerful, you won't survive. Not to mention, our big brother is a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Mid Stage. If you kneel down now, we can give you a quick death."

Gu Yuchuan clapped directly: "It has been a long time since I heard someone talk to me like this. It is indeed interesting. Do you know what happened to the Cultivators who talked to me like this before? They all died at my hands. My cultivation and strength were forged on the battlefield. I have killed more Cultivators than the Human Race Cultivators you have ever seen. You bunch of hiding, weak things, even if you attack together, you cannot beat me."

The Chigu Demon General beside her lifted his black robe; his expression was very ugly.

"Your Excellency acts so perversely; today you must die here. You could have originally joined our Artifact Refiners Alliance. Obviously, we could have had a win-win situation together, but you personally shattered this possibility. We cannot keep you anymore. Prepare to die."

Gu Yuchuan sneered twice, his eyes full of mockery as he looked at them: "What are you things to dare to be mentioned in the same breath as me? I am a true Second-Grade Artifact Refiner who can refine Spiritual Artifacts at will according to diagrams, and I can even refine Medium Grade Spiritual Artifacts. And you? To be honest, in the Human Race, you are not even worthy of being called Second-Grade Artifact Refiners. With such meager Dao practice, instead of thinking about how to improve your Artifact Refining abilities, you only think about taking the Evil Path. No wonder you have such low cultivation even after monopolizing Artifact Refining; it is really because you cannot refine many Spiritual Artifacts."

These words were a direct hit, piercing the most painful spot in their hearts. The expressions of several people became very ugly. The Bixian Demon General shouted directly: "Snake Yao, die! You have insulted us so much; today I will definitely make you regret coming to this world."

A great battle was on the verge of breaking out.
