Chapter 1367: Chapter 1367: How Dare You Do Such a Thing? (Double Update)
“Alright, that’s it, let’s go.”
Ye Haochuan patted the dead soldier on the shoulder and was about to leave with him.
“Oh, by the way, so many of you blocking the entrance, are you trying to rob us?”
Ye Haochuan acted as if he had just noticed the people at the door, his expression serious, saying, “Let me tell you, Xuanmen prohibits fellow disciples from harming each other, not to mention you have Inspection Group members too, don’t break the law knowing it’s illegal!”
Damn! Is this guy actually threatening us?
Long Kaize and the Inspection Group members looked at each other, momentarily confused about which side was actually weaker.
Oh right, the Spiritual Artifact!
Long Kaize suddenly remembered seeing his family’s Spiritual Artifact taken by Ye Haochuan as they came in earlier.
“Fine! You can leave, but leave the Spiritual Artifact behind!”
Seeing the situation going nowhere, Long Kaize had no choice but to make a concession. He had already lost a company; if he lost this set of Spiritual Artifacts too, he would be done for.
Besides, the House Holder had instructed him to give the Spiritual Artifact to the Inspection Group after the task; failing to do so would offend major figures on both sides.
Long Kaize was acutely aware of how harsh the Imperial Capital’s Long Family could be to useless people; becoming a dead soldier was the lightest punishment, and the Inspection Group was not to be trifled with either.
“What Spiritual Artifact?”
Ye Haochuan feigned confusion.
At this moment, seeing Long Kaize and the others at a loss, he was inwardly delighted.
“Master Ge Ding’s Spiritual Artifact! We saw you put it away earlier with our own eyes!”
Long Kaize blocked the entrance, showing no signs of backing down, and dared not retreat, unable to bear the consequences if he did.
“Oh, you mean this!”
Ye Haochuan took out a small glass box, looked at it for a moment, and said, “This is mine now, so you want it? Fine! Give me thirty million Middle-Grade Spirit Crystals, and I’ll sell it to you.”
“Bastard! This belongs to us, could you be any more shameless?”
Long Kaize was so infuriated he coughed up blood; even if he had it, he wouldn’t give thirty million Middle-Grade Spirit Crystals to him!
“Yours?”
Ye Haochuan blinked and said, “Everyone knows that this was bought by our Long Alliance people for a million Middle-Grade Spirit Crystals at auction, what makes you say it’s yours?”
“Right! I paid Spirit Crystals for this, are you trying to rob us?”
Following Ye Haochuan’s lead, the dead soldier shifted his stance, blocking in front of Ye Haochuan, “Are you a shady establishment? Trying to take back what’s already been sold? Dear brothers of the Inspection Group, you must stand up for us!”
Damn! Did you give any Spirit Crystals? How come I don’t know about this?
Long Kaize, looking at the dead soldier who had so thoroughly turned against him, was trembling with anger. He raised his hand high and said, “If you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll smack you to death!”
As soon as he said that, Long Kaize regretted it. Not to mention anything else, considering his strength compared to that of the dead soldier and the special Magical Treasure inside the dead soldier, he dared not act.
“Alright! Your auction house not only breaks the rules but also wants to rob the customers’ auction items, I will definitely report this to Xuanmen!”
With a sly smile, Ye Haochuan pinned a black mark on the Long Family, and at this moment, his phone was still recording on camera mode.
Ye Haochuan was very careful, and despite the number of people on Long Kaize’s side, none of them noticed he was secretly filming.
“This Long Kaize is just useless; he can’t even handle such a small matter, it seems we can’t rely on him, otherwise when it comes to the Imperial Capital Long Family’s reward, what’s left for us?”
“Yes, we can’t rely on him anymore, let’s do it ourselves!”
“Exactly! With the authority of our Inspection Group, even if we make a mistake, so what!”
“Heh, let’s make a move.”
“Alright, let’s handle it ourselves!”
“Agreed! With Lord Lin here, they can’t make much of a fuss.”
“No objections!”
“…”
The cultivators of the Inspection Group, seeing Long Kaize dragging his feet and seemingly planning to let Ye Haochuan go, frowned. They didn’t come all this way for nothing, so they left the private room and whispered among themselves.
Among this group from the Inspection Group, there was a Core Formation Mid-Stage cultivator and several Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators, so they didn’t take Ye Haochuan and the dead soldier seriously at all.
Hmm? What’s going on? Aren’t these guys hired by the Long Family to deal with me?
Seeing the Inspection Group members leave, Ye Haochuan was puzzled.
And at this moment, Long Kaize’s eyes were flickering, lost in thought, not noticing this.
Soon, the group from the Inspection Group finished their discussion and returned to their positions.
Back at the private room’s entrance, the Core Formation Late-Stage cultivator from the Inspection Group stepped out, blocking Long Kaize, and said, “Kid, so many of us saw you didn’t pay, yet you dare to argue, arrest them!”
Holy crap! These guys dare to get tough? Heh, let’s see how I mess with you!
Ye Haochuan smirked as the Inspection Group people returned and made such a statement.
The Core Formation cultivator, unaware of Ye Haochuan’s intentions, after making this remark, charged towards Ye Haochuan with two Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators.
And at this moment, Long Kaize just stared blankly ahead, lost in his thoughts.
Ye Haochuan, on the other hand, was enthusiastically filming while suddenly coming up with a brilliant plan to turn the tables and achieve multiple goals at once.
Thus, he directed the dead soldier to charge ahead, while he quietly retreated to the side, continuing to record.
“You…you’re actually trying to rob us of our treasures, I’ll fight you to the death!”
Receiving instructions, the dead soldier immediately charged with eyes blood-red as if seeing an enemy with the deepest of grudges.
But facing a Core Formation Late-Stage cultivator and two Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators, how could a mere Foundation Establishment Peak dead soldier compete?
“Still dare to resist? Kneel down!”
The Core Formation Late-Stage cultivator snorted coldly, pressing down with a big hand, pinning the dead soldier to the ground, unable to move, and then instructed, “You two watch him, don’t let him cause trouble.”
After dealing with the dead soldier, the Core Formation Late-Stage cultivator looked at Ye Haochuan and said, “Kid, I heard you are also a Core Formation cultivator, do you dare to take my challenge? If you win, I’ll let you go. If you lose, I won’t kill you, you just have to hand over Master Ge’s treasure, and I’ll let you off today, how about it?”
He had learned from Long Kaize earlier that Ye Haochuan had the strength of a Core Formation Stage, and he also knew Ye Haochuan’s footwork was extraordinary.
He obviously didn’t know about Long Wei being defeated by Ye Haochuan in an instant, otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to say such a thing.
“What?”
Ye Haochuan feigned fear, his voice trembling as he shouted, “How dare you do this? Can the Inspection Group just rob others’ treasures?”
If one only heard the voice, someone ignorant of the truth might believe he had suffered a great injustice.
