Beixi City.
All the cultivators awaited the return of the Lord of Beixi City.
Just then, they sensed the aura of the Lord of Beixi City.
However, besides the Lord of Beixi City, Qin Hanchu's aura was also present.
"The Lord of Beixi City has captured that person!"
"That person dared to kill Young Master Wang in front of the Lord of Beixi City. How could the Lord of Beixi City spare him lightly?"
"The City Lord must intend to behead him publicly to establish his authority!"
As the crowd discussed, Qin Hanchu appeared before them, his hands clasped behind his back.
Qin Hanchu's dashing demeanor hardly suggested he was being coerced.
As everyone was puzzled, a scene that shocked them unfolded.
The Lord of Beixi City was respectfully following behind Qin Hanchu.
"What is going on? Why is the City Lord following respectfully?"
"How could this be? Does this person have a terrifying background? One that even the City Lord dares not provoke?"
The remaining three Immortal Saints of the Wang family revealed expressions of terror.
What kind of background could make the Lord of Beixi City fearful?
The Lord of Beixi City did not even dare to walk parallel to Qin Hanchu.
Walking behind was a posture only a subordinate would adopt.
"Wang family, do you still intend to be my enemy?"
Returning to the skies above Beixi City, Qin Hanchu spoke calmly under everyone's shocked gaze.
The Wang family patriarch looked at the Lord of Beixi City in disbelief: "City Lord, my sister is your Dao Companion. You must uphold justice for our Wang family."
"The Wang family provoked Young Master first, and suffering this misfortune is retribution for their actions."
"I advise your Wang family to quickly apologize to Young Master."
"Otherwise, the Wang family might disappear from the annals of history."
The Lord of Beixi City was very helpless at this moment.
Although his Dao Companion was from the Wang family, could the Wang family compare to his own life?
His life was in Qin Hanchu's hands, what else could he say?
"This..."
"How could this be? The Lord of Beixi City actually called him Young Master?"
"What kind of background makes the Lord of Beixi City so fearful that he willingly becomes a subordinate?"
"Am I under an illusion? The Lord of Beixi City is an Immortal God expert, and he has submitted?"
The Lord of Beixi City's words stunned the members of the Wang family.
What exactly happened?
Since the Lord of Beixi City had conceded, did their Wang family dare to oppose Qin Hanchu?
"Bring five million Dharma Crystals to apologize, or I will raid your homes," Qin Hanchu threatened coldly.
"Yes, we will go prepare immediately," the Wang family patriarch said with his head lowered, not daring to show any anger.
"Let's go."
Under everyone's gaze, Qin Hanchu led the way towards the City Lord's mansion.
The Lord of Beixi City hurried to follow.
As they landed at the City Lord's mansion, a beautiful and stunning woman approached.
This woman was precisely the Dao Companion of the Lord of Beixi City.
"Greetings, Young Master!"
The beautiful woman's eyes held an unusual expression as she bowed respectfully.
"Are you ready?"
Although the Lord of Beixi City was the lord of a city, the Dharma Crystals and resources within the city were controlled by his wife.
Qin Hanchu's purpose in coming here was naturally to gain benefits.
"I can give you all the liquid assets of Beixi City, but I implore you to return my husband's freedom."
Although the beautiful woman did not know the specifics of what had happened, she knew that the Lord of Beixi City had been forced to hand over his soul blood.
She naturally did not wish for her husband to be controlled by others, hence her attempt to negotiate with Qin Hanchu.
"Do you have the qualifications to negotiate terms with me?" Qin Hanchu replied very calmly.
The beautiful woman was momentarily speechless. After a moment of thought, she continued, "As long as you return my husband's freedom, fifty percent of Beixi City's tax revenue will be yours permanently."
Qin Hanchu: "The entire Beixi City is mine now. Why should I agree to your terms for fifty percent of the tax revenue?"
"What happened in Beixi City will soon reach the Jade Cauldron Sect. Besides the Jade Cauldron Sect, you also killed an elder of the Wind River Sect."
"In front of these two sects, even if you have sect backing, you will have to yield."
"The Jade Cauldron Sect has long wanted to take over Beixi City completely. You have given them a legitimate reason."
"By then, Beixi City will have nothing to do with you."
"Only by returning my husband's freedom can you obtain Beixi City's tax revenue in the long term."
The beautiful woman continued to negotiate with Qin Hanchu.
"If the Jade Cauldron Sect dares to come, I will make them pay the price."
Although Qin Hanchu only had three Beast Gods by his side, it was enough for him not to fear the Jade Cauldron Sect.
"You..."
Qin Hanchu's expression turned grim: "You have spoken enough nonsense. Do not speak of matters that do not concern you."
The beautiful woman knew that Qin Hanchu was already angered, so she dared not say any more.
With a wave of her hand, a storage ring appeared before Qin Hanchu.
Qin Hanchu's spiritual sense probed into it, and he saw nearly ten million Dharma Crystals and a large quantity of cultivation resources stored within.
"Notify me when people from the Jade Cauldron Sect arrive."
After saying this, Qin Hanchu walked towards the guest room.
In the Jade Cauldron Sect, an elder hurriedly entered the sect's main hall.
"Sect Master, something has happened," the elder said to the Jade Cauldron Sect Master seated at the main seat.
The Jade Cauldron Sect Master, who was cultivating, slowly opened his eyes: "What is it?"
"The Lord of Beixi City has been subdued by an Immortal Saint."
"This Immortal Saint's background seems extraordinary, and he also possesses a Beast God puppet."
"He has already taken control of Beixi City and plundered all of Beixi City's Dharma Crystals and resources."
The originally calm Jade Cauldron Sect Master suddenly stood up: "What did you say? The Lord of Beixi City has been subdued? Even with a Beast God puppet, it shouldn't make the Lord of Beixi City fearful."
"I don't know the details, but the matter is absolutely true."
The Jade Cauldron Sect Master pondered for a moment: "Beixi City is an ally of our Jade Cauldron Sect. Someone daring to attack Beixi City is a provocation to our Jade Cauldron Sect. Please send the Third Elder and Fourth Elder to Beixi City to handle this matter."
At the same time, the news of their elder's death in Beixi City also reached the Wind River Sect.
Although only an elder of the Immortal Saint realm had died, the Wind River Sect had to react.
If they remained indifferent to this matter, where would the Wind River Sect's authority lie?
Leaving the Wind River Sect Master to guard the sect, another Immortal God expert headed towards Beixi City.
...
Beixi City, Wang Family.
"Do we really have to pay money and apologize?" the Wang family patriarch asked the other two Immortal Saints with a somber expression.
"Are there any other options? That brat has a Beast God puppet; we can't even escape if we wanted to," one of the Immortal Saints said angrily.
"Let's stall for time. The Jade Cauldron Sect and the Wind River Sect will definitely not stand idly by."
"When they arrive, there might even be a large battle."
"As long as this person is driven away, we won't have to pay."
Another Immortal Saint expressed his thoughts.
The Wang family patriarch nodded repeatedly: "I think so too. The Jade Cauldron Sect will never stand by and watch Beixi City fall into this fellow's hands."
"Then it's settled, let's find an excuse to delay for now."
"I hope the Jade Cauldron Sect and the Wind River Sect can drive this person away, preferably kill him!"
