Anomaly in the Nether Cave

That shout alone revealed resentment to everyone. The onlookers exchanged bewildered glances; it seemed this guy was quite unhappy that he hadn't managed to kill Hu Changshou's son!

A flash of murderous intent crossed Hu Changshou's eyes as he turned and vanished into thin air. Hu Yuntian cheerfully greeted Yan Zhuixing and Man Hu before leaving as well. The three guards, trembling with fear, went to Yue Qianchou's stall to collect the bodies of their comrades. This guy was so insane, not even putting Hu Changshou in his eyes; they were genuinely worried he might do something outrageous again. The three guards buried their heads in collecting the bodies, not even daring to glance at Yue Qianchou.

Sikong Jue gave Yue Qianchou a deep look, waved to Mu Lianqiu and the others, and led them away to continue maintaining order at the Treasure Gathering Basin.

The various lords in the air, seeing the show was over and there was nothing more to see, also disappeared. Wen Lanfeng looked at Nong Zhu and smiled bitterly, as if to say, "This kid won't hold a grudge against me!" The two of them, along with Lou Yanqing, also disappeared.

Upon seeing the Blood Orchid displayed by Bing Chengzi Yue Qianchou, Bing Chengzi's pupils constricted, and he left with a flicker of his gaze. Only Yan Zhuixing and Man Hu remained standing a short distance away...

Before long, the stalls marked by white lines returned to their original state. Whether they were stall owners or people lingering there, their gazes always seemed to drift towards Yue Qianchou with a mixture of awe and reverence.

I'd heard many rumors about Yue Qianchou, but this was the first time I'd seen him so arrogant. He killed a cultivator in the early Tribulation stage Realm without a word, and this cultivator was a disciple of the renowned Cloud Palace. Then, he brazenly challenged six disciples from the Cloud Palace and Ice Palace in front of all the heroes of the world, including two experts in the late Tribulation Transcendence stage Transcending Realm. In the end, the disciples from the Cloud Palace and Ice Palace willingly admitted defeat and withdrew.

With the conclusion Pei Fang, a master at the late Spirit Transformation stage, Yue Qianchou has thus solidified his position as the number one master below the Spirit Transformation stage in everyone's mind.

Mo Shaojun stood quietly behind Yue Qianchou, his attitude becoming increasingly respectful. The leader that Niu Youde had appointed for them had not disgraced them.

Standing to the side, Ye Cheng Yue Qianchou grew even more fervent. Perhaps due to a sense of national identity, he didn't find Yue Qianchou's actions too arrogant at all; on the contrary, he believed that Yue Qianchou had brought glory to the Huaxia Cultivation World.

In fact, among the surrounding crowd were many disciples from various sects who had infiltrated the Huaxia Cultivation World, but unfortunately, they didn't have the opportunity to get close to Yue Qianchou like Ye Cheng did. However, this did not diminish their fanatical admiration for Yue Qianchou. Normally, they dared not hold their heads high here, but suddenly seeing such a figure emerge from the Huaxia Cultivation World, they were simply overwhelmed with excitement and unease.

Is Yue Qianchou arrogant? No! They wish Yue Qianchou were ten thousand times more arrogant, preferably trampling all the powers of the various countries under his feet... After silently admiring him for a while, they all quietly left, wanting to quickly spread the news of what happened here back to the Huaxia Cultivation World.

Not long after, Furong, Ziyi, Hundred Charm Demoness, and Tian Ye arrived. After Nong Zhu returned and saw that the situation had calmed down, she allowed the group to come out.

"Are you alright?" the three women asked almost in unison.

"What could possibly be wrong with me?" Yue Qianchou's gloomy expression turned into a smile when he saw Furong. He asked, "What are you doing here? Trying to help me set up a street stall?"

"Wow!" Ziyi exclaimed, staring at the blood orchids on the stall. "Selling things is such a fun thing, and you didn't even invite me!" She excitedly stepped over the stall, pushing Yue Qianchou aside, and stood in the seller's seat, looking around as if hoping someone would come to buy something from her. She was used to buying things; this was her first time experiencing selling.

Furong was equally enthusiastic, standing excitedly beside Ziyi, the two sharing the joys of being stall owners. Yue Qianchou was speechless. These two women didn't know the hardship of making money; they thought it was a lot of fun. He'd let them play every day sometime and see if they'd still be so excited then. He'd also like to experience what it's like to be a kept man.

Hundred Charm Demoness stood smilingly beside Yue Qianchou, while Tian Ye and the other two stood side by side with Mo Shaojun, wary of their surroundings.

Ye Cheng stood to the side, his gaze frequently drifting towards Furong, forcibly concealing his shock. Although Furong rarely appeared on Fu Xian Island, he had coincidentally seen her once at Myriad Fragrance Garden. After careful observation, he confirmed that she was indeed Furong, the daughter of the head elder of Myriad Fragrance Garden.

What puzzled him was how Furong and Yue Qianchou ended up here together.

"Senior Yue, I have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now," Ye Cheng suddenly said respectfully to Yue Qianchou. Yue Qianchou smiled and nodded. Furong glanced at him, finding the man somewhat familiar, but couldn't recognize him, so she didn't think much of it. Having received permission, Ye Cheng quickly walked towards the outside of the Treasure Gathering Basin; he needed to find a way to send this astonishing news back to Fu Xian Island ...

Yan Zhuixing squinted, carefully observing Ziyi, Furong, and Hundred Charm Demoness, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. Chao Man Hu nodded, and the two walked together toward Yue Qianchou's stall.

Because of the earlier commotion, the once bustling crowd was now too afraid to approach, leaving the stall unusually deserted. Not a single person passed by; everyone simply turned around and went around. Just as Ziyi was feeling down, she suddenly saw two people walking over and immediately asked excitedly, "Are you buying anything? How much do you want to buy..." Before she could finish speaking, she realized they were people she had met at the Blade Drawing Tournament.

"Miss in Ziyi, it's been a long time," Yan Zhuixing said, cupping his hands in greeting.

Yue Qianchou sneered, "Brother Yan, do you want to cause trouble again?" Upon hearing that the newcomer wanted to smash her stall, Ziyi immediately drew her dark purple bamboo stick, clearly intending to make a move.

"Brother Yue, that's not very meaningful." Yan Zhuixing glanced at the blood orchids on the stall and smiled, "I noticed that Brother Yue's stall is not very busy, so I would like to invite Brother Yue to visit our Ice Palace's shop when you have time. Perhaps someone there will buy a lot of Brother Yue's Seven Star Blood Orchid."

Could it be him? Yue Qianchou's heart skipped a beat, but he remained outwardly calm and bowed, saying, "Thank you for the reminder, Brother Yan. I will definitely pay you a visit."

"Hehe! Then I won't disturb Brother Yue's business any longer. Farewell!" Yan Zhuixing cupped his hands in greeting and turned to leave with Man Hu.

Yue Qianchou stared at the departing figures with a flickering gaze, when he was suddenly pulled back to his senses by the surrounding noise. He saw many people rushing towards the center of the Treasure Gathering Basin...

"What's wrong! What's wrong! What happened?"

"The World Commerce Association has put up a new notice board and started selling the Seven Treasures Pill, which can help people break through cultivation bottlenecks."

"Oh! We should hurry and take a look. Maybe we Rogue Cultivator will have a chance to buy some and resell them for a big profit."

News about the Seven Treasures Pill spread from the crowd, Yue Qianchou waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Mo Shaojun, go and take a look."

"Yes!" Mo Shaojun accepted the order and left. Yue Qianchou's eyes narrowed to slits as he muttered to himself, "Selling Seven Treasures Pill? Yin Baikang, your time of misfortune has come."

After using Niu Youde's identity to sell the last batch of Restriction Breaking Pill to Yin Baikang, he decided to stop. It wasn't that he didn't want to make more money, but after witnessing the covert power struggles between the various nations and Yin Baikang, he knew that making money this way wouldn't last.

Although the alliance of nations was shattered once by Yin Baikang, none of them are pushovers, and they certainly won't sit idly by and watch the World Commerce Association continue down this path. No one who has risen to the position of a regional lord in the Cultivation World is a fool. It's just that Yin Baikang's methods of accumulating wealth haven't yet reached the point of crippling everyone. It's not the right time to take down the behemoth that is the World Commerce Association, because some are still taking a wait-and-see approach, fearing a backlash from the powerful World Commerce Association; their hearts are not yet united.

However, once Yin Baikang's methods of accumulating wealth damage everyone's vitality, no force can sit still and they will inevitably join forces to take a hard line.

At first, Yin Baikang Yue Qianchou wondered what Yin Baikang had to rely on to do this. He wasn't stupid! But after putting himself in Yin Baikang's shoes, he suddenly realized that the old fox had taken Niu Youde, this immortal from the celestial realm, as his ally.

Yin Baikang first boldly invested billions, taking the risky step of paying first and then receiving the goods. Later, he proactively increased the price by one billion high-grade Spirit Stones for every five thousand Restriction Breaking Pill, constantly currying favor with Niu Youde. The reason he was willing to concede profits and partner with Niu Youde in business was to firmly bind Niu Youde's interests to his own. Once the various forces strongly resisted, not only would his interests be damaged, but Niu Youde's interests would also inevitably be harmed.

Yue Qianchou thought that if he were really Niu Youde, who possessed the strength of an immortal in the celestial realm, he would definitely not sit idly by and watch his interests be harmed. At a critical moment, he would not hesitate to step in and intimidate Niu Youde.

Having figured this out, Yue Qianchou smiled bitterly. If he hadn't seized the initiative, Yin Baikang would have truly used his position to rise to power and establish an unshakeable dominance in the Cultivation World. He was secretly alarmed and couldn't help but admire Yin Baikang's shrewdness. From the moment he learned that Niu Youde was an immortal from the celestial realm, he immediately began to lay the groundwork. Such courage and vision were truly admirable; he was indeed a man destined for greatness. The current state of the World Commerce Association was no accident.

After understanding the gravity of the situation, Yue Qianchou knew his fortune had run its course and it was best to stop. So, he acted decisively, throwing out 20,000 Restriction Breaking Pill at once, making a hefty profit before quickly shedding his identity as Niu Youde. He then immediately used his Yue Qianchou identity to send out 5,000 Seven Treasures Pill to bury the World Commerce Association, waiting to see how Yin Baikang would handle the situation...

The only regret Yue Qianchou had was that he hadn't thought that far ahead, and he regretted getting involved with Niu Youde, as it might cause some trouble in the future...

The Demon Ghost Domain, Yin Feng Valley, a mountain range stretching for dozens of miles, has been shrouded in dense, dark mist for countless years. Raging dark winds carry with them ghostly fire, making it a rare and precious cultivation ground rich in Yin Qi for the hundreds of thousands of ghost cultivators residing there, despite the harsh environment.

Just as the ghost cultivators were cultivating as usual, a sudden burst of thick, inky black yin Yin Qi erupted violently from the entrance of the Nine Nether Cave. The powerful airflow roared out wildly, even scattering nearby rocks weighing hundreds of kilograms. In an instant, the dark clouds covering the entire Yin Feng Valley began to churn and tremble, drawing the gazes of hundreds of thousands of ghost cultivators to this location. A strange sense of terror spread through their hearts...

Just as the strange phenomenon occurred in the Nine Nether Cave, Yu Ji led her ghost generals to the Ghost King's Palace, landing hundreds of meters outside the cave against the strong winds, each one filled with astonishment and uncertainty. Thick, inky-black yin Yin Qi continued to howl out of the cave entrance with the powerful winds...
