Wu Tian's words were spoken lightly, but they weighed heavily on Wang Bao's heart, as if all his inner chambers were about to collapse.
He stared with wide eyes, his pupils trembling slightly, his pale lips moving subtly as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Seeing this, a smile flickered across Wu Tian's lips, and he said, "What's wrong? It seems you're not going to agree to my terms?"
"Since you won't listen to reason, then... you can't blame me for using some special means."
Lightning flashed around Wu Tian's fingertips.
Wang Bao shivered in fear and quickly straightened his tongue, kneeling and kowtowing, "Wait, wait, I didn't mean that!"
"It's just... it's just that I'm only a disciple, and I can't make decisions about such matters."
"This is a matter decided by the Sect Master. If you want to find someone, go find the Sect Master. I can take you there..."
"Sect Master..." Wu Tian stroked his chin, his eyes revealing a subtle gleam.
"Are you saying this because you intend to lure me into the Black Wind Sect and then rely on that so-called Sect Master to deal with me?"
Wang Bao was startled, wondering how his thoughts had been seen through.
But he still repeatedly said, "No, no, I wouldn't dare to think that."
"I'm just telling the truth. I really don't have the authority to decide this matter, so it's useless for you to look for me!"
"If you want to get your money back, then you can only go to the Sect Master. I can't do anything else."
With Wu Tian's keen perception, he could naturally guess Wang Bao's thoughts.
However, he didn't take it to heart. He smiled and said, "Alright, if that's the case, then lead the way."
"I must get this money back."
"Furthermore, your Black Wind Sect will no longer need to exist in this world from now on."
Wang Bao was slightly stunned, then fell silent.
He felt that Wu Tian's words were a bit too exaggerated.
The Black Wind Sect had endured for a thousand years, so it naturally had its own foundation.
Yet this person before him dared to say such things and even intended to annihilate them on their home turf.
Wasn't this just bragging?
But he couldn't control what Wu Tian thought. In any case, he believed Wu Tian couldn't achieve such a feat.
Wu Tian destroying his spiritual palace was no different from killing him.
If he could lure Wu Tian into a trap and kill him within the Black Wind Sect, it would be a tremendous stroke of luck for him.
Therefore, he nodded and said, "The Black Wind Sect is on Black Soil Mountain, more than three hundred kilometers from here. You'll see it as soon as you go."
"Black Soil Mountain, I got it."
After speaking, Wu Tian asked Bai Ruoqi, "How about it, want to come along and have some fun?"
Bai Ruoqi nodded, "Sure, the Black Wind Sect has committed such a heinous act, they deserve severe punishment."
"If we let this go unchecked, what prestige would the Tian Yuan Sect have among the hidden spiritual sects?"
"Tian... Tian Yuan Sect?" Wang Bao noticed Bai Ruoqi's words and trembled in fear.
To a mere disciple like him, the Eight Great Divine Sects were already formidable, let alone a behemoth like the Tian Yuan Sect.
He looked at Bai Ruoqi in horror and said, "Are you from the Tian Yuan Sect?"
Bai Ruoqi smiled slightly, "I am the Sect Master of the Tian Yuan Sect. Do you have any questions?"
"Ah?!" This news was no less than a massive explosion for Wang Bao.
His body was already mostly crippled, and now with such a great emotional shock, under this combined assault, his meridians instantly shattered.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, his body stiffened, and he finally fell backward stiffly.
Clearly, after suffering such a severe shock, his blood qi surged, and he was scared to death!
However, Wu Tian and Bai Ruoqi were not affected by this.
They were not ordinary people and were not bound by the rules of the mortal world. Death was not a rare occurrence for them.
After giving a few instructions to Wang Damao, the two flew directly towards the Black Wind Sect.
Black Soil Mountain was as its name suggested, a peak that produced black soil, entirely black, looking like a coal mountain.
Black Soil Mountain was perpetually shrouded in gloomy weather, giving it a sense of oppression.
As the saying goes, one environment nurtures one kind of people. The Black Wind Sect disciples becoming so wicked likely had related reasons.
The two landed directly on the Black Wind Sect's plaza.
The sect disciples were all cultivating. Seeing someone arrive, they immediately stopped and cast surprised glances.
Wu Tian, too lazy to waste words, directly shouted, "Liu Wuwang, I've come to pay tribute. Aren't you coming out to see?"
His voice, amplified by immortal energy, sounded like thunder.
For a moment, all the disciples covered their ears, feeling their blood qi surge, almost as if their brains were about to scatter.
Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of the Black Wind Sect's higher-ups.
Soon, several figures shot up into the sky and then landed on the plaza.
The leader was Liu Wuwang, the current Sect Master of the Black Wind Sect.
And behind him were, of course, the elders.
Wu Tian cupped his hands towards Liu Wuwang and smiled, "Greetings, Sect Master Liu. I am Wu Tian. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Liu Wuwang didn't know who Wu Tian was. He said sternly, "Who are you, and why are you so ill-mannered as to dare to trespass into the Black Wind Sect?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Me? I'm the village doctor from Peach Blossom Village. I heard the Black Wind Sect requires regular tribute, so I've come to deliver money to you!"
"The village doctor from Peach Blossom Village?" Liu Wuwang was slightly startled, then said with vigilance, "Peach Blossom Village is merely a mortal place. When did it produce an immortal?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Sect Master Liu, you may not know, but I've been away from home for too long. I only returned to Peach Blossom Village today, so I wasn't aware of the Black Wind Sect's affairs before."
"Now that I know, haven't I come to visit immediately?"
Hearing this, Liu Wuwang believed Wu Tian's intentions were indeed as stated, and his attitude became a bit more arrogant, saying, "So that's how it is."
"I didn't expect Peach Blossom Village to produce someone like you."
"But didn't I send people to collect the tribute? You should have just paid it, why bother coming all this way?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "I would have liked to pay tribute directly, but I had the intention, yet no one to deliver it."
"Wang Bao is already dead, and Chen Di is half-dead. Tell me, if I don't come in person, what other way is there?"
"What did you say?!"
Liu Wuwang did not expect Wu Tian to say such things, and his body trembled slightly.
He couldn't believe his ears and confirmed again, "Do you know what you're saying?"
"Wang Bao is one thing, but Chen Di is a Three-Turn Golden Immortal. With his strength, how could he have fallen into the situation you described?"
Wu Tian continued to smile and said, "Because he provoked me, and he deserved it."
"And the one who will suffer next... is you."
