Reward for Recognition

However, if those words fall into someone else's ears, the effect is quite different.

He addressed Yin Baikang by his given name and showed Sikong Jue. The crowd was quite shocked, exchanging questioning glances before shaking their heads to indicate they didn't know who this person was.

Mu Lianqiu couldn't hold back any longer. Someone was treating his master with such disrespect. No matter how high the other person's cultivation was, if he didn't speak up, how could he ever face anyone again? He took two steps forward, intending to reprimand them, but Sikong Jue gently waved his hand to stop him.

Sikong Jue glanced at him briefly, a fleeting look of shock in his eyes. He couldn't see through Dui Qi's cultivation level, clearly confirming his earlier guess that Niu Youde's cultivation was indeed higher than his own.

"Sikong Jue greeted Mr. Sikong Jue courtesy."

I wanted to call him Brother Niu, but he couldn't figure out Niu Youde's rank, so I had to respectfully address him as Mr.

Mr. Niu? Everyone immediately realized who it was. Who else could be the one that Sikong Jue treated with such respect, besides Niu Youde, who dared to rip off various countries by raising prices on the spot in the Ghost Manor?

"He is the Ruthless Judge Niu Youyu."

"Is he Niu Youde, whom the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce hired for a billion high-grade Spirit Stones? No wonder." The group discussed among themselves.

He himself was Niu Youde? The people who had come with Yue Qianchou to watch the spectacle were stunned. Recalling what Niu Youde said in the canyon, and then looking at the pile of heads he was carrying, they couldn't help but let their imaginations run wild. Who was so bold as to attack the Ruthless Judge? They were really courting death.

"Tsk tsk! My judgment is still pretty good. You really are Yin Baikang's eldest disciple Yue Qianchou."

At this moment, most of the group's eyes were fixed on the nine heads, trying to identify who these suicidal guys were, daring to attack Spirit Transformation stage expert. It was obvious! Anyone who could command a billion-dollar sum from the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce and have Sikong Jue personally greet them must be at the Spirit Transformation stage.

Mu Lianqiu stared at the two masked heads, his pupils contracting repeatedly, his breathing becoming somewhat erratic. His hands, hidden in his sleeves, clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white.

After initially glancing at the nine heads Yue Qianchou was carrying, Sikong Jue didn't look at them again. He glanced briefly at the way everyone was looking at the nine heads for information, and a smile appeared on his usually gloomy face. Ignoring Niu Youde's rude words, he waved his hand and said, "Mr. Niu, your presence is an honor to the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce. Please come inside!"

Their attitude was very polite. The two masters and apprentices stood on the left and right, making way for each other in the middle. This was a rather grand welcome.

No matter how well he put on a good show or how much face he was given, he couldn't extinguish the anger that Yue Qianchou felt when he personally buried Fu Chun and Qin Jiaxing.

Those who dare to scheme against the old and dare to mess with the old will pay a price first! Yue Qianchou sneered inwardly, but remained polite on the surface. However, he didn't move his feet at all and asked with a smile, "No rush! Sikong Jue, is Nie Sheng your disciple?"

The master and disciple exchanged a glance, both trying their best to conceal their gloom. Then, Sikong Jue's gaze swept over the surrounding crowd before he turned back and nodded, saying, "That's right, it's my second brother. I sent him to greet you early this morning, sir. Perhaps you didn't see him?" "That's good. I thought I'd been tricked," Xiao Yue Qianchou muttered, then slowly turned around with a cold face, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding cultivators. He said, "On the way here, we were attacked by six cultivators at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage Realm. I don't know which sect sent them. You all bear witness, pass this message on. If my Niu Youde finds out who did it, I'll twist their head off and use it as a chamber pot!"

Many people were in an uproar, not expecting such a thing to happen. But then they thought about it and felt something was amiss. Wasn't it said that six cultivators at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage were attacking? How come you're carrying nine heads?

Sikong Jue and Mu Lianqiu remained expressionless, naturally denying any wrongdoing. The former solemnly exclaimed, "Such a thing actually happened! Daring to harm even a distinguished guest of our Tianxia Chamber of Commerce! They simply don't respect our Tianxia Chamber of Commerce at all! Lianqiu!"...

"The sheep are here," Mu Lianqiu said, clasping his hands in greeting.

"Immediately send a message to all chambers of commerce, mobilize all resources to thoroughly investigate this matter, find the mastermind behind it, and give Mr. Niu an explanation."

"Yes!" Mu Lianqiu turned and left.

Yue Qianchou raised one eyebrow, watching the master and apprentice's back-and-forth banter. After Sikong Jue the order, he frowned again and asked, "Mr. Niu, why didn't my apprentice return with you? Could it be that something bad has happened to him?"

"That's how it is," Yue Qianchou explained. "When the six attacking cultivators saw that things were not going well, they tried to run away. The old man was furious. How could he let them get away? So he prepared to take action himself. But Nie Sheng said he dared not trouble me, saying that the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce would offer a large reward for their capture, and the attacking bandits would not be able to escape."

Sikong Jue's brow twitched, and he said, "What's wrong with Nie Sheng? With you, sir, taking him down should be a piece of cake."

Before he could finish speaking, Yue Qianchou slapped his thigh and said, "That's right! I told Nie Sheng right away that we should arrest the two of them. Why let the money fall into someone else's hands?" He acted without hesitation, chased after them, and killed them both at will.

A chorus of exclamations erupted from the surrounding crowd. To casually kill two late Tribulation Transcendence stage Transcending cultivators—truly a master! Sikong Jue's brows twitched uncontrollably.

Yue Qianchou continued, beaming, "After bringing back the two heads, I asked Nie Sheng how much they were worth. Nie Sheng said that we could find out who the mastermind behind the attack on the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce was from these two people, and that the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce would definitely not treat me unfairly. But I'm a stubborn person, so I insisted that he name a price first, or I wouldn't give him the two heads. In the end, Nie Sheng decided that it would be 100 million high-grade Spirit Stones short. To be honest, I was quite satisfied with the price, so I gave him the two heads right then and there."

"One hundred million high-grade Spirit Stones!"

"The Tianxia Chamber of Commerce is indeed financially powerful," exclaimed the surrounding crowd once again.

Upon returning from the internet session, Mu Lianqiu remained silent with a tense expression after hearing these words.

Sikong Jue already learned the truth from his four disciples and wished he could tear Niu Youde's mouth apart for daring to lie through his teeth. He let out a slight sigh and said, "So, my disciple Nie Zhi is still alive?"

"Sikong Jue, you're a bit unfair! Why do you change the subject as soon as money comes up?" Yue Qianchou asked somewhat dismissively, "I only have one question for you: does the reward of one hundred million high-grade Spirit Stones that your disciple Nie Sheng mentioned count?"

"This..." Sikong Jue a smile, suppressing his anger. "Sir, don't worry. One hundred million high-grade Spirit Stones is no small sum. I will verify it with Nie Sheng when he returns. If he really said such a thing, the reputation of my Tianxia Chamber of Commerce will not break its word."

"So, you suspect I'm lying?" Yue Qianchou sneered. "Judging from the situation, I don't expect to get the reward. In that case, I'll find the mastermind behind my attack and settle accounts first." As he spoke, he pulled two heads from the nine heads in his other hand—the two heads that had been masked. He turned them around twice and said to the crowd, "I rarely travel in the Cultivation World, so my knowledge is limited. Now I'll remove these two masks, and I'd appreciate it if you could help me identify them and see which sect they belong to, daring to attack me. Don't worry, I never shortchange my friends who help me. Whoever identifies them will receive ten Restriction Breaking Pill as a reward."

Sikong Jue and Mu Lianqiu's expressions changed drastically. This guy actually went too far with this trick.

"Ten Restriction Breaking Pill?" The group of people immediately became excited. Among them were quite a few Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. What did ten Restriction Breaking Pill mean? It goes without saying that they could successfully step into another realm that they had been pursuing.

"Really? Senior Niu, do you keep your word?"

Yue Qianchou waved the two heads in his hands and shouted, "Although I, Niu Youde, may not be a righteous ruler, I always keep my word and never lie or deceive anyone. You can rest assured..."

"Senior Niu, in front of everyone, if we recognize which major power these two heads belong to, we dare not say it out loud!" someone shouted out, expressing their concerns.

"That's true!" Yue Qianchou nodded. He bent down and gently placed the head in his hand at his feet, while still holding the seven pills in his other hand. A hand appeared in the air, rummaged through Storage Bag, and a large handful of bright red things appeared before everyone's eyes.

A hazy, red mist swirled around, impossible to conceal even under the bright sunshine. The crimson glow enveloped Yue Qianchou's hand as well.

"Danzhuo! It's actually Danyun!!"

"This is the halo around the pill that was refined by a legendary top-level alchemist?"

"My God! It really is Dan Yun!" Amidst the exclamations, everyone's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

Mu Lianqiu suddenly looked at his master, only to see that his master's pupils had shrunk and the elixir in Niu Youde's hand remained motionless.

Yue Qianchou turned around, clutching the Dao of Alchemy, "These are the Restriction Breaking Pill, twenty in total. If you recognize them, I'll give you the chance to verify them on the spot. I'm also worried that someone might try to deceive me, so I'm giving you two a chance to check. As for what everyone is worried about, that's unavoidable. It's up to who's willing to take the gamble; I won't force anyone. I believe that even if no one recognizes these two heads today, someone will eventually. You can decide for yourselves!"

After saying that, he stuffed the Restriction Breaking Pill into his Storage Bag and bent down to remove the veils from the two heads. Suddenly someone shouted, "Wait!" It was Sikong Jue.

Yue Qianchou sneered inwardly, but turned his head to look at him with a surprised expression, saying, "What's wrong? Don't you allow people to do this here? No problem." He then raised two more heads, waved to the crowd, and said, "Those who want the Restriction Breaking Pill, follow me. We'll find another place."
