Chapter 393: 208
Ba Ke Yun, also feeling impatient, says: “Alright, let the kid lead the way, and we’ll go directly to the Kuang Quan Sect.”
“No, I can’t involve you two.” The child still shakes his head, instinctively feeling that Logan and Ba Ke Yun are no match for the opponent’s sect. It’s like they are on a suicidal path, unable to fully display their abilities even with great skills.
At this moment, suddenly, a large group of people appeared and surrounded Logan and the others without discriminating between friend and foe. The leader was very arrogant: “Who just attacked our Kuang Quan Sect members?”
However, before Logan and Ba Ke Yun could reply, the moment he saw Ba Ke Yun, panic overwhelmed him. As a highly-ranked person, he naturally sensed the oppressive aura emanating from Ba Ke Yun, something only found in the throne realm.
He glared fiercely at his subordinates, feeling equally flustered. This subordinate really had no discernment, attracting such a powerful enemy for him. How could he, an advanced expert, fight? He thought that as soon as he launched an attack, his life would be doomed.
Earlier, when his subordinate went back and exaggerated the story, he didn’t take it seriously and thought it was just two blind people. So he didn’t report it to his sect, instead leading a group of people over. Now, he deeply regretted his rashness.
The man fell from his horse with a thump: “Senior, I have come specifically to apologize. I don’t know how my two subordinates offended you, but I hope you can be magnanimous and give our Kuang Quan Sect some face. In the future, our Kuang Quan Sect will surely treat you as an honored guest.”
“Don’t say anything more. Your Kuang Quan Sect is really too arrogant. The person just now threatened me in all sorts of ways, saying that once the Kuang Quan Sect’s reinforcements arrived, they would destroy my soul and vanish, kneeling down to apologize and the like.”
Ba Ke Yun snorted coldly, his eyes sharp: “How do you plan on settling this matter? It needs to be resolved, and if it displeases me, I won’t mind making the Kuang Quan Sect disappear. If you don’t believe it, give it a try.”
“Senior, we are truly sorry. We are willing to offer 300 spirit stones and hope that you can accept them. We also invite you to visit our sect as our guest, and our Sect Leader will surely have a pleasant conversation with you.”
The man’s attitude was very respectful, causing the subordinates around him to be dumbfounded. Their boss used to be arrogant and domineering. Whenever he encountered an enemy, he would attack without hesitation, not even leaving a survivor behind. But today, his image was completely changed, becoming so submissive and obedient.
Of course, even if they were foolish, they understood everything. Their boss’ strength was inferior to the opponent’s. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have to humble himself like this. Anyone who could be stronger than their boss must have reached the throne realm. When they thought about it, they gasped. This young man had already reached the throne realm?
To reach the throne realm at such a young age, there had to be two prerequisites. The first was that the backing was powerful, and with the help of various divine weapons and medicinal materials, the throne could be reached in a short period. Otherwise, ordinary cultivators who wished to reach the throne would usually be old by then. The other reason was having heavenly qualifications, reaching the throne with one’s own strength.
No matter which point Ba Ke Yun belonged to, at least they couldn’t afford to offend him and didn’t want to offend him. Because once they provoked Ba Ke Yun’s wrath, it would be a huge blow to the entire sect. Killing a few insignificant ants wasn’t a big deal, but what if it turned into a battle between sect leaders?
After listening, Ba Ke Yun laughed dismissively: “Are you mocking me? Do you think you can pacify my anger with such a small amount of spirit stones, treating a throne realm like a fool to be deceived?”
“Senior, this is my sincerity. My resources are really limited. If you have any requirements, you can mention them. When I return, I will definitely discuss with the Sect Leader, and as long as it can be provided, it will be provided.”
The man was terrified, fearing that the other party would take action in anger. He himself was just a small manager in the sect, not even an elder. Three hundred spirit stones were already a huge amount, and his heart ached at the thought of what his annual salary was, which was only such a small amount.
“I only have one condition: from now on, the Kuang Quan Sect leaves the canyon, and not a single person from the sect remains. Moreover, I only give you one day to relocate. Anyone who exceeds the time limit will have to make a deadly bet. I believe you can’t make up your mind on this matter, so you should go back and report to your Sect Leader.”
Ba Ke Yun spoke casually, stating such cruel and domineering conditions, making the man’s whole person foolish. This condition was too harsh, and the sect would definitely not agree. After all, it had taken a hundred years to build such a scale, so where would they go if they left?
He shook his head, frightened but calm: “Senior, change your request, and stop joking. Our Sect Leader is also in the throne realm, and his cultivation strength should be on par with yours. The existence of our sect doesn’t affect you, so why do you have to drive them to total annihilation?”
If Ba Ke Yun did not back down, it would mean opposing the entire sect. Even though Ba Ke Yun had already reached the realm of the throne, there were countless extraordinary people in their Kuang Quan Sect, and not necessarily would all be defeated by Ba Ke Yun. Moreover, there was the Sect Leader guarding them, who had a good relationship with several nearby lords.
“I’ve said all that I have to say. Don’t say another word because I won’t give up an inch. Just go back and report this to your sect honestly. If you annoy me, I won’t mind beheading you here.”
Ba Ke Yun waved his hand, not wanting to say another word to the man, as everything the man was unable to control. On the contrary, if they kept dragging on, it would only ignite Ba Ke Yun’s anger, with no practical significance.
The man felt despondent but didn’t dare to stay any longer. He led his group of men and horses away at high speed. At the same time, he was troubled about how to report this matter to the Sect Leader when he returned. All resentments had arisen from his subordinates, and he couldn’t guarantee that the Sect Leader wouldn’t implicate him in his anger.
Returning to the sect, the man found the Sect Leader and, after hesitating for a while, presented Ba Ke Yun’s demands. In order to avoid being blamed by the Sect Leader, he exaggerated the process and omitted his subordinates going to cause trouble for Ba Ke Yun, saying that Ba Ke Yun deliberately provoked them.
Upon hearing this, the Sect Leader was furious and slapped the table: “Hmph, is there anyone who dares to confront us in this domain? Since the other party dares to provoke us, if we don’t accept, won’t we be looked down upon by outsiders?”
“Calm down, the other party’s realm is also in the throne realm. Judging by the aura alone, the Sect Leader should be on par with them, and their intention to fight might be slightly stronger. It’s best not to go head-to-head.”
The man spoke very implicitly, but his actual meaning was quite simple. The opponent’s strength was stronger than the Sect Leader’s, so they must not be overconfident and rash and must be well-prepared.
