Chapter 194 - 22: Lively Eastern Emperor City_1
The battle was on the brink of breaking out, ready to crumble in a single strike.
In the face of the ferocious Thousand Leaves Pavilion’s multitude of shopkeepers, the cultivators brought by Lv Chun Kai were no match, quick to admit defeat.
“Master of the Pavilion, how should we deal with this?” A shopkeeper asked, holding down the cultivator from Qianjin Pavilion.
“Kill him.”
Just a few Human Immortal Realm cultivators, killing them is no big deal.
If they surrendered, they wouldn’t serve much purpose either.
When they heard this, several cultivators panicked!
“Don’t kill us, we can be useful!”
“We can do business, and I can work for the Thousand Leaves Pavilion for free.”
One after another, they rushed to speak, fearing that if they were too late, they would be killed by Ye Jintian.
At this moment, Lv Chun Kai, who hadn’t spoken, finally found his voice.
“This time, we Qianjin Pavilion admit defeat, so shall we just leave it at that?”
Lv Chun Kai knew that it was impossible to take down the Thousand Leaves Pavilion today, so the only option was to retreat and rethink their strategy.
The power of Thousand Leaves Pavilion had surpassed their expectations.
Before they could capture the Thousand Leaves Pavilion, they would need Miao Shujie to make the move personally.
“Just let it go? You guys think you can come and go as you please, does our Thousand Leaves Pavilion not have any dignity left?”
Ye Jintian looked at Lv Chun Kai and said with a smile.
But the murderous intention hiding beneath his smiling face made Lv Chun Kai shiver from head to toe.
The Thousand Leaves Pavilion may be flashy in business, but when it comes to other aspects, it’s been far too low-key.
Challenges are already knocking on their door.
Although Ye Jintian was busy running his business, he never fell behind in his cultivation level.
He was just one step away from reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
In the Dayu Empire, except for Ye Xiaoxiao and Ye Fan who were not making a move, nobody could match the power of the Thousand Leaves Pavilion.
The most influential power in the Eastern Continent is the Ye Family. Who would dare to confront them?
Ye Jintian knew that, to smoothly run the business, relying solely on business wouldn’t suffice. Sometimes he had to show his power too, which could avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Lv Chun Kai turned pale, staring angrily at Ye Jintian, “Pavilion Master Ye, do you really want to fall out with us?”
“If the one behind me makes a move, you lot won’t be able to stop it.”
“Whether you can stop it or not, we’ll only know if we try!”
Ye Jintian said nonchalantly.
Ye Jintian was curious about who was behind the Qianjin Pavilion. He also wanted to weed out some trouble for his aunt.
Listening to Ye Jintian’s tone, Lv Chun Kai realized that today’s matter couldn’t be resolved amicably. He silently contacted Miao Shujie and recounted what had happened in the Thousand Leaves Pavillion.
After hearing Lv Chun Kai’s description, Miao Shujie also looked troubled, cursing Lv Chun Kai as a total waster.
Such a simple task and he still couldn’t manage it. It seems that it’s about time the Qianjin pavilion appointed a new shopkeeper.
Not too far from the Eastern Kingdom City, in the Black Dragon Empire’s border, was the site of the Black Whale Guard.
Among Miao Shujie’s Black Whale Guards, quite a few cultivators had followed him from the start, hence he had a strong control over existing troops.
When they learnt that Miao Shujie was disrespected, these guards of the Black Whale didn’t hesitate at all. They decided to head towards the Black Dragon Empire to regain Miao Shujie’s prestige.
As for intruding on other territories, the cultivators of the Black Whale Guard didn’t even care.
In their opinion, the Black Dragon Empire was nothing more than a subordinate empire to their Dayu Empire, so there’s no way they would dare to offend the Black Whale Guard, one of the top ten armies.
Soon, the teleportation array was activated.
The destination? Eastern Kingdom City.
After the Eastern Continent was occupied by the Dayu Empire, they had already established interconnected teleportation arrays.
Unlike the old times of the Ten Great Empires, where inter-empire transportation required transfers, and many places could not be reached.
Not much time later, the aura of many powerful beings appeared outside Eastern Kingdom City.
Without any cover, the Black Whale Guard had released their own formidable aura, rolling towards the Eastern Kingdom City.
As soon as he felt Miao Shujie’s aura, Lv Chun Kai immediately perked up.
His master had arrived; the Thousand Leaves Pavilion was doomed.
Then he would still be the lofty master of Qianjin Pavilion.
By the time he takes over the Thousand Leaves Pavilion, he would show Ye Jintian what brutality means.
The Black Whale Guard created a big commotion, an incident which the Black Dragon Empire immediately noticed.
When they sensed the place where the Black Whale Guards had appeared, the entire Black Dragon Empire was instantly shaken.
The Black Whale Guards had appeared with great force in the Eastern Kingdom City, this was a big deal indeed.
While others may not know, how could the people of the Black Dragon Empire not know? In the Eastern Kingdom City, that’s where the Ye family resides.
The officials of the Black Dragon Empire didn’t dare to delay and immediately informed the Black Dragon King.
Without any hesitation, the Black Dragon King immediately headed towards the Eastern Kingdom City.
Even though he didn’t think the Black Whale Guard could harm the Ye Family, the Black Dragon Empire still needed to display their stance.
Miao Shujie had already sensed Lv Chun Kai’s aura from the Eastern Kingdom City, he immediately led the Black Whale Guard and ran towards it.
At this time, a spatial fluctuation appeared again in the sky above the Eastern Kingdom City.
The Black Dragon King arrived at Eastern Kingdom City with the Dragon Black Guards and immediately blocked the Black Whale Guard.
The cultivators in Eastern Kingdom City all lifted their heads and looked to the sky.
What kind of day was today, that the Eastern Kingdom City was so lively?
Those high-level cultivators, rarely seen on normal days, suddenly showed up in such large numbers today.
The Black Dragon King also recognized Miao Shujie instantly.
As the commander of the Black Whale Guard, Miao Shujie held a decently high position in the Dayu Empire. There’s no way the Black Dragon King could have mistaken his identity.
However, the Black Dragon King couldn’t figure out how a mere commander of the Black Whale Guard could lead the army of the Dayu Empire and dare to make trouble in the Ye family’s territory.
This Miao Shujie, didn’t he want to live?
The Black Dragon King knew Ye Fan usually kept a low profile, so he didn’t spread any news about the Ye family.
He just stood in front of Miao Shujie and stared at the Black Whale Guards.
“Black Dragon King, what’s your meaning, you want to stop the Black Whale Guard from handling our matters?”
As soon as Miao Shujie opened his mouth, he pulled out the big flag of Dayu Empire.
Miao Shujie believed, the Black Dragon King would not have a conflict with him about a small trade association.
The Black Dragon King showed disdain on his face: “Commander Miao, are you sure you brought the Black Whale Guards to my Black Dragon Empire on orders from the Dayu Empire?”
After hearing this, Miao Shujie’s face suddenly turned sour.
Of course, he didn’t obey orders to be here.
But now, he could not show any weakness.
If he really made a fuss up in the Dayu Empire, he would indeed be on the losing end.
“Black Dragon King, it seems this matter has nothing to do with you. Give me some face, if I need to deal with anything in the future, I won’t evade.”
As the second rank official in the Dayu Empire, Miao Shujie’s favors were considered quite valuable.
However, it’s a shame that for the Black Dragon King, the father-in-law of Ye Fan, Miao Shujie’s favors meant nothing.
Since the Ye family didn’t want to expose themselves, the Black Dragon King also didn’t want to cause troubles. He simply wanted the Black Whale Guards to leave.
“You leave now, I’ll pretend nothing happened.”
“Black Dragon King, it seems that you, today, have to meddle with this matter.”
