Resentment

At this point, Yue Qianchou angrily pulled the Great Black Saber out of the ground again, brandished the blade twice, and pointed it at Hu Yuntian's nose, saying, "Senior Sikong, the facts are right in front of us. Quickly arrest these evildoers and punish them severely. Don't let them get away."

Judging from his impatient look, he seemed to be asking me to help him catch it.

Sikong Jue help but roll his eyes. You say it's a fact, and you say you'll arrest me, so you just arrest me?

A large, fat man in blue clothes chuckled in the air, clutching his belly. It was none other than Pei Fang. Many others wanted to laugh, including Nong Zhu, but she managed to suppress a laugh. Wen Lanfeng's lips also curved into a gentle smile.

Hu Yuntian was almost driven mad with anger and immediately roared, "Who said we were going to run away?"

"If you're not going to run, just confess and submit to the law obediently, so we don't have to go through all this trouble." Yue Qianchou brandished his sword at Sikong Jue and the others, and in the blink of an eye, he was one of them, seemingly ready to enforce the law together.

Sikong Jue figured it out. Hu Yuntian had cultivated under Hu Changshou's protection since childhood, and everyone usually gave way to him; no one dared to talk back to him. He was good at being aggressive, but he was completely useless at talking. Today, he had run into Yue Qianchou, and he looked like he was about to lose his mind with anger. If Yue Qianchou continued talking, he might even make the dead seem alive, and Hu Yuntian would have no choice but to confess and submit to the law, which was not the outcome Sikong Jue wanted.

Sikong Jue coughed and said, "Hu Yuntian, is what Yue Qianchou said true or false?" He was reminding Hu Yuntian to stop arguing with Yue Qianchou about useless things. The matter hadn't been clarified yet, so why were you talking to him about confessing and accepting punishment? Wasn't that just asking for trouble?

"Hu Yuntian!" Yue Qianchou pointed his blade again, quickly taking over the conversation, and shouted, "If you have the guts, swear a solemn oath that what I just said was a lie."

"I..." Hu Yuntian stammered again. He really didn't dare to swear a solemn oath, because what Yue Qianchou had said before was indeed true, but the tone he used when the incident occurred was completely different from the tone he used now when explaining it in public.

Yan Zhuixing and Man Hu exchanged a glance. This Hu Yuntian seemed smart, but if it weren't for his father, he wouldn't amount to much.

"Idiot." Hu Changshou's face darkened, and he immediately transmitted his voice to curse, "What do you care what he says? Just say what you think is right. What does it matter if black is called white? With me here, what are you afraid of?" He just couldn't understand how someone who usually seemed so shrewd could turn into this just because he got angry.

After being scolded by his father, Hu Yuntian suddenly realized his mistake. His angry eyes gradually calmed down, and he regained his shrewd look. He said loudly to Sikong Jue, "Senior Sikong, Yue Qianchou is talking complete nonsense. Not a single word of his story is true. The fact is that he killed someone in the Treasure Gathering Basin. Everyone has witnessed it. Please punish him severely, Senior."

These two drastically different reactions made it clear to everyone that he had been instructed. But this was exactly what Sikong Jue wanted. Sikong Jue turned his head and asked, "Yue Qianchou, Hu Yuntian said that what you said was all a lie. What else do you have to say?"

Yue Qianchou looked up at Hu Changshou in the air, then at Hu Yuntian, and gave him a mocking look of disappointment. He shook his head and sneered, "People are so shameless that they lie through their teeth. What else can I say? If we continue, it will only result in neither of us admitting anything. It's just a waste of breath. Senior Sikong, why don't we be more direct?"

Sikong Jue said "Oh," his eyes flickering, and asked, "How do you mean to be straightforward?"

Yue Qianchou stared at Hu Yuntian and chuckled coldly, making Hu Yuntian's heart tremble. Suddenly, he saw the blade in Yue Qianchou's hand pointing at him and said, "Hu Yuntian, I'll say it again: there's no point in arguing. Let's have a one-on-one fight, fight to the death. Whoever dies will be the one who suffers. What do you say?"

The onlookers erupted in another uproar. This madman's bloodlust was truly intense! No wonder he was known as the Butcher. He seemed determined to kill Hu Yuntian; otherwise, he wouldn't keep bringing up this one-on-one duel. Though no one said it aloud, everyone secretly hoped Hu Yuntian would accept the challenge, even if it was just for the spectacle.

Hidden in the crowd were a pair of bright eyes. Yan Yu looked at Yue Qianchou with a complicated expression. With the matter causing such a stir, she couldn't possibly have missed it. She hadn't wanted to come, but inexplicably, she had come anyway.

Furong, Ziyi, and the others were pacing anxiously in the Wen Family Shop, eager to come and see what was happening, but Nong Zhu had ordered them not to come out before she did.

Hu Yuntian was humiliated by this second challenge, his expression darkening, showing signs of losing his temper. If he didn't accept the challenge, how could he ever face anyone in the Cultivation World again? Just then, Hu Changshou transmitted his voice, "Is face more important or life? Don't overthink it, push the problem to Sikong Jue."

Hu Yuntian took a deep breath, cupped his hands to Sikong Jue and said, "Senior Sikong, the Treasure Gathering Basin is the territory of your World Commerce Association. I wonder what your opinion is?"

Sikong Jue resolutely rejected the idea, saying, "The Treasure Gathering Basin does not allow private fights. I think this matter will be investigated and clarified one day. We might as well put it aside for now and deal with it separately after the matter is investigated."

"Hehe! What if the matter is never resolved?" Laughter came from the air. Pei Fang, his face jiggling with fat, said, "In my opinion, Yue Qianchou's method is good. Rather than dragging it out, it's better to just decide life and death, and be done with it. We won't have to worry about it anymore."

Hu Changshou and Bing Chengzi glanced coldly at Pei Fang, who clearly had ill intentions. The latter met their gazes with an indifferent smile; regardless of who died, he suffered no loss. It seemed Hu Yuntian was more likely to die, and he could use this opportunity to strike at Hu Changshou —why not? If Yue Qianchou died, it would be even better if Wen Lanfeng caused some trouble.

Yue Qianchou naturally knew that this fatso was stirring up trouble with ill intentions, but he really wanted to take advantage of Wen Lanfeng's presence to kill Hu Yuntian. Having made up his mind, he immediately sneered, "Hu Yuntian, since the Treasure Gathering Basin doesn't allow private fighting, why don't we settle this outside? If you're afraid of me, you can bring your three guards with you. If you're still afraid..."

Blade pointed at Yan Zhuixing and Man Hu and said, "It doesn't matter if all six of you come at me together, I, Yue, will definitely accompany you to the death. What do you say, do you dare?"

He dared to fight someone at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage Nascent Soul Realm when he was still in the Tribulation Transcendence stage, he has even less to fear. Having experienced the wonders of 'Beast Play,' he believes killing Hu Yuntian won't be a problem. The reason he dragged Yan Zhuixing into this was to test the other's strength. If possible, with Wen Lanfeng backing him up, he might as well eliminate this potential threat to avoid future trouble.

This was blatant provocation! One man against six, practically forcing Hu Yuntian into a corner. Hu Changshou, in the air, narrowed his eyes. Yue Qianchou Yue Qianchou; he too was starting to lose his temper. Bing Chengzi seemed somewhat tempted as well. Hu Yuntian and Man Hu, both at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage, might not be a match for Yue Qianchou. Perhaps they could take this opportunity to avenge their second disciple...

"Good!" Pei Fang cheered, "As expected of the number one expert below the Spirit Transformation stage, you really have guts." He didn't expect Yue Qianchou to have even involved Bing Chengzi's disciple, so he was naturally very excited.

Lou Yanqing frowned deeply at Yue Qianchou's belligerent behavior. Wen Lanfeng, on the other hand, asked Nong Zhu with some concern via telepathy, "Yue Qianchou is only at the early Tribulation stage. Isn't he being a bit overconfident and underestimating his opponent?"

Nong Zhu replied with a relaxed expression, "I don't know what this kid is up to, but don't worry, he won't do anything that will put him at a disadvantage."

Man Hu took a step forward, eager to take the opportunity to avenge his junior brother. However, Yan Zhuixing grabbed him and walked to Hu Yuntian's side, laughing, "Brother Hu, Senior Pei has already said that Brother Yue is the number one expert below the Spirit Transformation stage. How could we easily defeat him? For someone so highly praised by Senior Pei, it wouldn't be unfair for us to admit defeat."

Originally, he thought it was none of his business if Yue Qianchou and Hu Yuntian did what they wanted, so he kept quiet. But Yue Qianchou dragged him and Man Hu into it. If Hu Yuntian accepted the challenge, it wouldn't be right for them not to intervene. That's why he stepped in to smooth things over for this seemingly clever but actually foolish idiot Hu Yuntian.

It wasn't that Yan Zhuixing didn't want to fight; in fact, he really wanted to test the effect of his Devil Cultivation Method against Yue Qianchou. Devil Cultivation Method Yue Qianchou's words had already stirred his Blood Qi and energy, causing it to circulate within his body. However, there were too many onlookers, and the power of his Devil Cultivation Method was extraordinary; a single attack would inevitably result in a breach. He wasn't yet fully capable of protecting himself, so he had to restrain himself. Once he obtained the Seven Star Blood Orchid to improve his cultivation, everything would be much easier.

Although Hu Yuntian was furious at Yue Qianchou's arrogance, he was still somewhat afraid of him. He knew that the butcher of the Cultivation World had earned his infamous reputation through late Tribulation Transcendence stage the Tribulation Transcending realm. Now that Yan Zhuixing had offered him a way out, he readily smiled and said, "Brother Yan is right. Since he is such a highly praised figure as Senior Pei, it's not unfair for us to admit defeat." He waved his hand boldly, "We admit defeat and stop fighting!"

Yue Qianchou was stunned. He hadn't expected that even after he had spoken so bluntly, they would still admit defeat.

Pei Fang was stunned, and wished he could slap himself twice. He should have known better than to stick that mouth out later.

Hu Changshou glanced at Yue Qianchou with a sinister look, then smiled at Wen Lanfeng and said, "Brother Wen, all the heroes are here watching the show. If this continues, it would be disrespectful to us guests. I think it would be better to do as the host suggests and put this matter aside for now, and deal with it after we have investigated it thoroughly. What do you think?"

Although others thought Yue Qianchou should listen to Wen Lanfeng himself didn't think he could make decisions for Yue Qianchou. Just as he was about to make an excuse, he heard Lou Yanqing beside him transmit her voice. "Isn't it better to resolve things peacefully? Why does it have to be all fighting and killing?"

Wen Lanfeng was taken aback, then looked down and said, "Yue Qianchou, since they've already admitted defeat, you should back down too. We can talk about this later!"

Yue Qianchou was speechless. Without Wen Lanfeng's support, he currently had no ability to kill Hu Changshou's son in front of him, especially with Bing Chengzi watching him like a hawk. He glanced at Nong Zhu, who was also shaking her head slightly.

Damn it! Relying on others for support is the most unreliable thing. In the end, you still have to rely on yourself. We'll see! Yue Qianchou put away his Great Black Saber with a sullen face. He turned around and walked back to his original stall, where he brought out pots of Seven Star Blood Orchid and set them up. He shouted to the surroundings, "Seven Star Blood Orchid for sale in large quantities, 200 million per plant. Those who want to buy, come quickly."
