"Of course I meant it. Qitian Pavilion sold me out—how could I swallow that? Since he had shown me no mercy, I wouldn't let him have his way either. I would make sure he suffered a crushing defeat at the exchange." I sneered.
However, the moment Shan Tu heard this, he froze. Then he said awkwardly, "I'm truly sorry, but I'm afraid we can't do that anymore. We can't put these six divine weapons, which belong to a single set, up for consignment at this exchange. You have to understand, our Tongtian Pavilion and Qitian Pavilion are both part of Thousand Mountains City. According to the rules of the trade, it wouldn't be good for us to compete with each other on such a large scale. That would drive down everyone's profits. So we can only compete in another way. For example, if we buy them, we could perhaps consign them at an exchange in another market. That way, we wouldn't create competition, and we could still sell them at a good price."
"So that means I still have to sell this set of treasures at another market? Or perhaps I can sell them to someone else? In that case, I'm afraid you won't get much of a prime position." I gave him a dark smile.

Even with a treasure pavilion like Thousand Mountains Pavilion between us, I imagine they wouldn't do such a thing either." Shan Tu seemed to have come up with another idea. He continued, "Alternatively, we could smelt these weapons into ore concentrates of Kuiyi Stone and consign those for sale. I imagine the price wouldn't be low either. It's just
