Chapter 502: Today, Something Major Is Going to Happen!

The Dragon Soaring Pavilion was extremely large, and the cultivators flowing in and out were all of considerable cultivation levels.

As soon as Fang Chen stepped in, he noticed many discreet eyes sizing up him and Fairy Yu. However, most of those glances were directed at Fairy Yu.

Fang Chen smiled as he transmitted his voice, "Little Yu, there might be some trouble later. Are you prepared?"

Smiling faintly, Fairy Yu nodded lightly.

Fang Chen led her to wander around the first floor for a while. After that, they headed straight to the fourth floor. The items sold on the fourth floor were all peak-grade, yellow-rank spiritual materials, treasures, and spiritual herbs. There weren't many customers on that floor, and those present were mostly in the Golden Core Realm.

A servant quickly greeted them as soon as they arrived. "What can I help the two of you with?"

Fang Chen asked, "We are looking for peak-grade, yellow-rank treasures. Do you have any here?"

"Peak-grade, yellow-rank treasures?" repeated the servant.

The servant was a little surprised, but not too much. He had seen his fair share of the world. His smile became warmer as he said, "Yes, we've recently acquired three such treasures. Would you like to take a look?"

"What's the price?" Fang Chen inquired as they walked toward the counter where the three treasures were displayed.

They didn't reach the counter before Fang Chen said, "No need to look, I'll take all of them."

He took out over 32,000 low-grade spirit stones and handed them to the servant, whose face quickly filled with astonishment.

It took the servant a while before he recovered from the surprise. He quickly nodded and bowed before moving to fetch the three treasures for Fang Chen.

Suddenly, a cold and harsh voice sounded behind Fang Chen and Fairy Yu. "A dead man wants to buy peak-grade, yellow-rank treasures? Are you using them for burial purposes?"

The two turned to the source of the voice and saw a young man gazing at them with a hint of disdain and mockery in his eyes.

At the same time, a group of Golden Core Realm cultivators walked out of the Dragon Soaring Pavilion and headed straight to the teahouse opposite, where they joined another group of Golden Core Realm cultivators. The group had varying cultivation levels, ranging from the early stage to the grand completion stage, with roughly twenty people in total. Among them, two were at the grand completion stage of the Golden Core Realm.

"Brother Zhao has already gone upstairs to test those two. Let's see what the identity of the man with the demoness is. If he really is from the Void Immortal Sword Sect as rumored, we might not want to act rashly," a late stage Golden Core Realm cultivator said respectfully to the two grand completion stage Golden Core Realm cultivator.

A grand completion stage Golden Core Realm cultivator sneered and scanned the group. "Heh. So what if he's from the Void Immortal Sword Sect? Have you forgotten that the sect has promised not to intervene in this matter? If they break their promise, they'll face the consequences. Don't forget, this time we are working for the Heavenly King Manor. There's no need to fear the Void Immortal Sword Sect,"

Everyone’s eyes flickered, and they muttered silently in their hearts.

Promises were one thing, but what if the crazy sword cultivators came back to settle the score after this matter was settled? They were not direct descendants of the Heavenly King Manor and were just here for the reward. When that time came, it was likely that Heavenly King Zhen would not come to their aid and wouldn't be their support.

"Demoness Yu is known for her ruthlessness. Brother Zhao is indeed very brave to go up there alone for reconnaissance. I wonder if he'll encounter any danger," a Golden Core Realm cultivator muttered to himself.

“This is the capital of Guixu, and they are inside the Dragon Soaring Pavilion. Who would dare to make a move? If they do, it's even better. The Dragon Soaring Pavilion will definitely intervene, and we will have a better chance of capturing those two.”

Another grand completion stage Golden Core Realm cultivator smiled and said, "This matter has been widely known and not just fermenting in Zhongzhou. Many cultivators from second-grade and third-grade empires have also learned about it and want to take a piece of the pie."

The man who just spoke looked very young and was dressed in a purple Daoist robe. As soon as he spoke, all the Golden Core Realm cultivators looked at him with a hint of wariness in their eyes.

Another grand completion stage Golden Core Realm cultivator smiled and said, "Daoist Bai, I heard that an elder in our sect recently broke through to the Enlightenment Realm and became a Middle Three Realms cultivator. Congratulations! It has been thousands of years since the Profound Seeking Sect had a Middle Three Realms cultivator, right? If you cooperate with us to capture Demoness Yu, Daoist Bao, and obtain the opportunity from Heavenly King Zhen’s Manor, it would be a double celebration."

Bai Xiujie smiled lightly. "It's not exactly a double celebration. I'm just a grand completion stage Golden Core Realm cultivator. I am not even in the Nascent Soul Realm. how can I be compared to my sect's elder? However, the rumor is true, the Elder indeed recently broke through to the Enlightenment Realm, stepping into the Middle Three Realms."

The other Golden Core Realm cultivators couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The rise of the elder from Profound Seeking Gate was astonishing. He had been just an ordinary cultivator at the mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm just over four hundred years ago. Now, in just four hundred years, he broke through two small realms and one major realm, becoming an Enlightenment Realm cultivator.

"Why hasn't Brother Zhao come down yet? Shouldn't he have finished his reconnaissance?" a Golden Core Realm cultivator suddenly asked.

Oh right.

The others fell into deep thought, their gazes fixed on the doors of the Dragon Soaring Pavilion. Just then, they saw Fang Chen and Fairy Yu walk out of the pavilion's doors side by side. Then, they saw Fang Chen throw a round object to the ground.

What was that again?

The expressions of the people in the tea house slightly hardened, showing a mixture of shock and anger.

That was clearly a bloody human head!

Fang Chen stepped on the head and looked toward the group with a faint smile.

"Did you deliberately send such a fool to test the two of us, knowing he would come to his death?"

"They've found us out...."

The Golden Core Realm cultivators, realizing they had been discovered, didn't bother hiding anymore and looked toward Bai Xiujie and the other two. As grand completion stage Golden Core Realm cultivators, this operation revolved around them.

Bai Xiujie's eyes flashed with cold light as he stood up and headed downstairs. "Let's go meet them."

The scene of a head being thrown and stepped on at the entrance of the Dragon Soaring Pavilion immediately drew the attention of passing cultivators.

Inside the Dragon Soaring Pavilion, many guests were stunned and subconsciously asked those around them, "What's going on? Did these two just kill someone at the Dragon Soaring Pavilion? Why isn't anyone from the Dragon Soaring Pavilion coming out?"

"Hush, their identities are probably not simple," someone whispered in a low voice, reminding them.

That person then noticed that the cultivators from the Dragon Soaring Pavilion were nearby but showed no intention of making a move, simply watching the scene at the entrance in silence.

They weren't simple indeed!

Anyone with a bit of intelligence could tell that something was amiss!

Before long, Bai Xiujie and his group walked out of the teahouse and stopped about five zhang away from Fang Chen and Fairy Yu.

Suddenly, the grand completion Golden Core Realm cultivator beside Bai Xiujie said, “Why does the mighty Dragon Soaring Pavilion allow these two to kill without reason? Do you dare to come out and explain what is going on?”

His voice boomed like thunder, clearly intending to involve the Dragon Soaring Pavilion in this matter.

Before anyone could respond, a figure arrived swiftly, exuding an aura far surpassing that of a Golden Core Realm cultivator!

Was that the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator from the Dragon Soaring Pavilion?

Bai Xiujie and the others felt a slight relief at the arrival of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

However, to their surprise, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator said in a cold tone, "We, the Dragon Soaring Pavilion, are just businessmen. We won't meddle in the conflicts of the Central Continent Empire. If you want to fight or kill, feel free to do so, but don't involve us. We can't afford to offend either Heavenly King Zhen or the Void Immortal Sword Sect."

Bai Xiujie and the others' faces turned extremely grim.

The nearby cultivators were astonished as they inhaled a cold breath collectively. "Heavenly King Zhen?! Void Immortal Sword Sect?!"

Today, something serious is going to happen!
