Seeing Who Was More Formidable

Niu Yansheng listened to what I had to say and then Xiao Sikong Jue called out again...

Yue Qianchou, holding seven heads in his left hand and two heads in his right, slowly turned around. "What do you mean?"

"To be honest, everyone in the Cultivation World knows that Mr. Niu has a fondness for Spirit Stone," Sikong Jue, but before he could finish, Yue Qianchou rolled his eyes and interrupted, "Then find a cultivator who doesn't like Spirit Stone. Let me see."

"Sir, you've misunderstood me," Sikong Jue said solemnly. "There's one thing I know: given your cultivation and character, you have no reason to lie. Since you said your disciple Nie Sheng agreed to a reward of one hundred million, then it must be true." His words had a self-justifying quality, and in fact, they were true.

"Of course it is true, "Yue Qianchou nodded sincerely, waiting for him to continue.

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jue couldn't help but chuckle. He really couldn't hold back anymore, but he had to endure it.

He gritted his teeth silently and continued, "As I said before, the reputation of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce is paramount. Since my disciple promised you a reward of one hundred million, I, as your master, have an unshirkable responsibility to fulfill it."

The crowd erupted in another uproar. Wang, who was thrilled at the prospect of getting ten Restriction Breaking Pills, was suddenly doused with cold water. Anyone with half a brain could understand what Sikong Jue meant: he was offering a bounty of one hundred million to take the two heads.

Mu Lianqiu glanced around unfriendly, and the noise immediately disappeared.

"This isn't good." Yue Qianchou glanced at everyone and pondered, "I just said I would use twenty Restriction Breaking Pill to inquire about the origins of these two people."

"You're just pretending!" Sikong Jue once again held back his temper, let out a slight breath, and said, "I believe that entrusting the investigation of these two people's origins to our Tianxia Chamber of Commerce is the best course of action."

"That's true. The Tianxia Chamber of Commerce of Commerce has branches all over the world, so it's perfect for this." But Yue Qianchou then asked the crowd, "I need to get everyone's opinion first, lest someone say I'm going back on my word. What do you all think?"

Everyone naturally wanted Niu Youde to continue offering the reward of the Restriction Breaking Pill, since they wouldn't get any benefit from handing over the head to Sikong Jue. But who dared to Sikong Jue?

They really want both money and face! Sikong Jue furious but laughed inside.

However, there was nothing he could do. His two disciples were renowned figures in the Cultivation World; if they showed their faces, they would be recognized by a large number of people. And this Niu Youde had swindled 300 million from him, 200 million of which was a deposit for joining the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce. Once Niu found an excuse, he would truly lose both his money and his reputation.

Furthermore, this madman dares to openly swindle people from various countries. What is he incapable of doing? Who would dare to do this without some powerful backing? In short, even the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce wouldn't dare to do what he does. If this madman uses this as an excuse to start a war with the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, who knows what the outcome would be? We mustn't let a small matter cause us to lose a big one!

Sikong Jue now quite suspicious. He didn't know if it was right or wrong for the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce to provoke this guy; something just felt off. "Gentlemen!" Sikong Jue cupped his hands to the surrounding cultivators and said, "This is not because Mr. Niu went back on his word. It's just that this ambush was aimed at my Tianxia Chamber of Commerce. My Tianxia Chamber of Commerce has a responsibility to find out who is opposing us. I ask that you all give me, Sikong Jue, some face and not put Mr. Niu in a difficult position."

"What do you mean 'I'm caught in a dilemma'? Just pay up already, why make myself suffer like this!" Yue Qianchou looked at everyone apologetically. If they didn't give Sikong Jue face, someone would probably come after them as soon as they left this place. However, everyone more or less sensed that something was wrong, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.

Mu Lianqiu gently bit her lip, her face pale. Sikong Jue stared at Yue Qianchou, his eyes conveying a message: "Niu Youde, some things are common knowledge. I've already gone this far, what else do you have to say?"

Yue Qianchou wanted to laugh, but couldn't hold it in. So he laughed frankly and said, "Since you know I like money, I won't pretend anymore. How about I give you the reward of one hundred million first?"

Facing Spirit Transformation stage expert, he was still somewhat apprehensive. He now believed in getting the money first, just in case something went wrong; he was quite confident in his ability to slip away unnoticed.

The crowd looked at each other, speechless at Niu Youde.

Sikong Jue angry he couldn't speak. Afraid he might lose control of his tone and give the other man another excuse, he stared at him silently for a while, then unfastened a Storage Bag from his waist. Without a word, he tossed it over.

Yue Qianchou's eyes lit up, and he quickly tossed the two heads in his right hand over as well. He then used his free hand to catch the Storage Bag and check the contents. Finding the number to be correct, he put it away.

Mu Lianqiu teleported in front of his master, received the two severed heads, and then flashed away again.

Wei took it and looked at it. After confirming that it was her junior brother, she nodded to her master with a hint of affection.

Sikong Jue stared at Yue Qianchou with eyes like a hawk and slowly said, "Sir, how is my apprentice Nie Sheng? Why hasn't he returned yet?" He only had two guesses about Nie Sheng's fate: either he had been killed by Niu Youde, or he had been detained by Niu Youde.

"Sigh." Yue Qianchou shook his head and sighed, then picked up the seven heads in his left hand, flicked them with his right hand, pulled one out and threw it over.

The group was utterly speechless. Despite their long years of cultivation, they had never seen anyone throw their heads around like this before.

Sikong Jue grabbed him with one hand, and the long hair draped over his head moved on its own without wind, blowing backward, making Nie Sheng's face clearly visible.

"Second Senior Brother!" Mu Lianqiu finally couldn't help but call out.

"Niu Youde, you'd better give me an explanation!" Sikong Jue roared, his chilling killing intent finally bursting forth. The entire arena was filled with a murderous aura. The people around him trembled with fear; Spirit Transformation stage expert had unleashed his power.

Yue Qianchou was so overwhelmed by his murderous aura that he almost lost his footing. Although he managed to steady himself, he felt like he couldn't breathe. A growing anger began to rise within him!

Using your power to intimidate others? I'd like to see whether your early Spirit Transformation stage aura is stronger, or the aura of my Netherworld Ghost Fire is stronger! Yue Qianchou narrowed his eyes, and a sinister and terrifying aura surged out from his body, crashing towards Sikong Jue like a tidal wave.

The temperature throughout the venue plummeted to freezing, and despite the bright sunshine, a chilling mist descended. A chilling atmosphere permeated the air, filled with extreme negative emotions such as indifference, despair, and death.

Sikong Jue, the target of this terrifying aura, widened his eyes in horror. He even took a step back, trembling slightly. He had no energy left to maintain his explosive momentum and was now focused on resisting the deathly aura that was invading his body and devouring his life force.

Mu Lianqiu, who was too close to his master, was immediately implicated. His whole body trembled uncontrollably, and the two heads he was holding fell to the ground with a "plop".

The most unfortunate were the hundred or so cultivators around them. Although they were not in the center of the Netherworld Ghost Fire aura, it was the first time Yue Qianchou had used the Ghost Fire aura against Spirit Transformation stage. He was unsure of himself and his attack was quite heavy.

The cultivators' cultivation levels were Sikong Jue's, and even compared to Mu Lianqiu's, they were still far behind. At least, no one else in the arena had the cultivation level of the late Tribulation Transcendence stage. How could they withstand it? They immediately rolled their eyes and fainted, collapsing one after another without exception.

In that row of shops, the shop assistants had all collapsed. The shopkeepers, whose cultivation was relatively good, also leaned against the counter for support, watching this scene with trembling fear. They saw that Niu Youde was surrounded by an aura of death, as if he had just emerged from the underworld.

Heh heh! Seeing that Sikong Jue been forced back a step by his ghostly fire aura, Yue Qianchou immediately felt confident. He snorted, "Sikong Jue, what audacity! You dare to yell at me like that? Are you tired of living?"

He glanced at the other party's Storage Bag. He really wanted to take this opportunity to use the Star Absorbing Technique to kill Sikong Jue and make a fortune, but he held back after thinking about it.

Sikong Jue glanced at the large group of fallen cultivators, his shock beyond words. His master certainly couldn't have suppressed him to this extent with just his aura. If Niu Youde wanted to kill him now, it would be as easy as turning his hand!

What a terrifying aura! Just how high is Niu Youde's cultivation? Sikong Jue steadied himself, glanced at Mu Lianqiu was already swaying beside him, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Niu, please don't misunderstand. I was impolite. Let's talk this out. Please calm down. My disciple is about to be overwhelmed by your anger!"

"Hmph!" Yue Qianchou snorted coldly, and the eerie atmosphere in the arena instantly receded back into his body, restoring the bright sunshine to the surrounding area.

With the terrifying aura gone, Mu Lianqiu collapsed to the ground, his face deathly pale as he gasped for breath in the sunlight. The shopkeepers in the store also went limp.

At this moment, only Yue Qianchou and Sikong Jue remained standing. The latter, as expected of a Spirit Transformation stage expert, quickly expelled the death energy from his body with his powerful cultivation, which dissipated like ash in the sunlight. Although he had recovered, he still looked at Yue Qianchou with lingering fear; this man was terrifying!

Yue Qianchou raised his hand and threw all six heads at Sikong Jue's feet. Then, he spread his arms wide, and a series of muffled groans echoed around him. Wisps of gray mist rose from the bodies of the cultivators lying on the ground, swirling and swirling into Yue Qianchou's body.

Then, a group of people slowly woke up, struggled to get up and gasped for breath, all looking at Yue Qianchou with fear.
