353: Encountering Journey to the West characters again

"Rest assured, as long as you can afford the price, I will choose to do business with you, no matter what it is!"

A radiant smile appeared on the proprietress's face.

"I'm not sure if you can handle this business of mine, and I'm not sure if you have the authority to do so."

"Rest assured, as long as you can afford the price, we can handle any business. It's just a matter of reporting it to the higher-ups."

The proprietress smiled slightly. Even if no one in this inn could handle this order, they could pass it on to headquarters, and they would send someone.

Even the commission from this single order would be excellent for them.

"I want to buy your entire inn. I wonder if you have the authority for that?"

"Oh no, I should say I want to buy your entire Wind and Rain Tower."

As soon as Li Haotian finished speaking, a cold Long Sword was pressed against his throat, and an angry expression appeared on the proprietress's face.

"What are you saying?"

"How could the Wind and Rain Tower be sold to you? Are you crazy?"

The proprietress roared angrily.

Li Haotian, however, showed no change in expression.

"You know you can't hurt me. How could an Immortal Venerable like me be hurt by a Golden Immortal Expert like you?"

"Believe me, I am here very seriously to discuss a partnership with you."

"After all, I know that business at the Wind and Rain Tower is poor. I hope you can give me a reasonable price, and I will buy this place from you."

"I don't think your rank is high enough. Call your Wind and Rain Tower Master over to talk business with me!"

The proprietress's face turned livid.

"The Wind and Rain Tower is absolutely not for sale. Even if our business is poor, it is definitely not something you can obtain!"

Upon hearing this, Li Haotian did not show any signs of annoyance; instead, a calm smile appeared on his face.

"Regardless, you should report this matter first. Since you don't have that much authority, stop yapping at me here."

"You're wasting both our time, aren't you?"

The proprietress took a deep breath and finally put down the Long Sword in her hand. Just as the other party said, she was simply no match for him.

Even if she stabbed Li Haotian with her sword right now, it probably wouldn't have much effect.

Li Haotian looked at her calmly.

The proprietress felt uneasy under his gaze.

"Just report this matter. In any case, you aren't the one who makes the final decision. Besides, even if someone wants to kill me, that has nothing to do with you, right?"

The proprietress finally compromised. She took out a paper crane, blew on it gently, and a message instantly shot through the air.

Not long after, in a certain department of the Wind and Rain Tower, a man looked at the envelope in his hand with a strange expression.

"Tower Master, this letter is for you. Someone wants to buy our place."

The white-haired and white-bearded old man looked at the letter in front of him with a look of confusion.

He didn't open it to check the contents, but merely asked one question.

"They just want to buy an inn or one of our strongholds? If they want it, sell it. It's been so difficult to maintain lately anyway."

The man shook his head, pointed at the envelope, and said nothing.

"Please take a look at the contents first, and you will understand why I am so surprised."

The old man opened the envelope with some confusion and read it carefully. Upon reading the contents, his pupils constricted.

He prided himself on being a dignified Immortal Emperor Expert, and rarely could anyone shock him like this. This time, a reckless Immortal Venerable had appeared, demanding to buy his Wind and Rain Tower right off the bat.

A cold sneer immediately appeared on his face.

"Back in the day, I was a general commanding one side in the Heavenly Court. Now, I have actually been reduced to being bullied by an Immortal Venerable."

"After leaving the Heavenly Court, it seems my reputation has faded quite a bit. Now, even a lowly Immortal Venerable dares to come and flaunt his power before me, and even threatens to buy my Wind and Rain Tower."

A look of disdain appeared in the old man's eyes. He gently grasped his weapon Magic Treasure with his right hand and then stood up directly.

His obese body shook as he walked out step by step.

"I want to see exactly who dares to set their sights on my Wind and Rain Tower!"

Li Haotian had been waiting for two days, but there was still no movement. He knew the Immortal Realm was vast; the other party should come after receiving the news, but it would take time.

Just as he was becoming somewhat impatient, he suddenly sensed that he had been locked onto by an aura. The next instant, a man appeared before him.

The other party looked old and decrepit, but was incredibly fat.

"Hmph, so you're the kid who wants to buy Old Pig's Wind and Rain Tower?"

The man brandished the weapon in his hand. This weapon gave Li Haotian an extremely familiar feeling, especially after the other party swung it around, which, combined with his obese physique, immediately made Li Haotian think of a certain someone.

"Are you Pigsy?"

Li Haotian's words left the other party stunned on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.

"So you really were sent by the Heavenly Court. Since you want Old Pig's life, let's see if you have the ability to take it!"

Pigsy swung the Nine-Tooth Rake in his hand. Li Haotian frowned slightly and instantly used an Immortal Emperor Realm Enhancement Card.

He then flashed behind the other party and proceeded to pummel him with punches and kicks. Pigsy was beaten until he scurried away, then fell to his knees, begging for mercy repeatedly.

"Stop, stop, stop! Old Pig knows he was wrong!"

"If you want to kill me, then kill me, just like you killed Monkey Brother back then!"

Pigsy had already given up resistance; he just didn't want to suffer anymore and hoped the other party would finish him off quickly.

"Who told you I was from the Heavenly Court? And who told you I wanted to kill you? I just want to buy your Wind and Rain Tower, that's all."

Li Haotian looked at the suffering fat man in front of him, and his expression became somewhat strange. A feeling of pity rose in his heart.

The former Marshal Tianpeng had actually fallen to such a state today.

He was actually doing relatively well; at least he had his own faction that could provide him with resources.

Tens of thousands of years of Cultivation had allowed his Cultivation to surpass that of the former Erlang Shen.

"What do you mean? You just want to buy my faction?"

Li Haotian nodded calmly.

Pigsy sat up, a strange expression on his face.

"Weren't you just an Immortal Venerable Powerhouse a moment ago? How did you suddenly become an Immortal Emperor? You're even at the Peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm, much stronger than Old Pig!"

"I've never heard of someone like you. Who are you? Where are you from?"

Pigsy had clearly disregarded his own life. After hiding for so long, he had long wanted to give up his life; if the other party wanted to kill him, they could just do it.

The only regret was not dragging those old bastards from the Heavenly Court down with him.
