The young man in black frowned upon hearing this. "What person in charge of Northern Di City? He's just the owner of Cold Mountain Pharmacy!"
Elder Tu shook his head upon hearing this, "You may leave! I will certainly pass on this knowledge!"
Upon hearing this, the young man in black sneered, and without saying a word, he transformed into a swift afterimage and slowly left the place.
Seeing this Elder Tu sighed slowly, "Young Wang from Cold Mountain Pharmacy! You're still too naive. Do you really think you can take down Li Changfeng so easily?"
Cold Mountain Pharmacy.
At this moment, a figure in white slowly slipped inside and arrived outside a bedroom in the inner hall. Li Changfeng immediately sensed the presence and calmly asked, "Is there something you need?"
The figure in white chuckled lightly, "Not bad! May I come in and have a talk?"
Li Changfeng frowned upon hearing this, feeling that the voice sounded somewhat familiar. "Come in!"
The figure in white chuckled softly and slowly walked into Li Changfeng's bedroom. Li Changfeng was immediately taken aback when he saw the person. "It's you! Commander Bai of the Wind and Rain Pavilion!"
Commander Bai chuckled and cupped his hands, saying, "Hehe! Brother Li! Just call me Brother Bai. I wouldn't dare call myself Commander Bai in front of you!"
Li Changfeng's face turned cold upon hearing this. "If the people from the Wind and Rain Pavilion have anything to say, then leave now, or you'll force me to take action!"
Commander Bai gave a wry smile upon hearing this. "I know that what happened with Elder Wang caused you to misunderstand our Wind and Rain Pavilion. I've come here to apologize to you! I brought you something!"
Commander Bai slowly took out a blood-red white cloth, and slowly opened it, revealing a severed human head with its tongue cut out. Upon seeing this, Li Changfeng frowned deeply, "What do you mean by this?"
Commander Bai chuckled upon hearing this, "This person was the one who sold your information to Blood Demon Stronghold. After we investigated, we executed him to prove that our Wind and Rain Pavilion does not sell customer information casually!"
Li Changfeng sneered, "What's the difference? If you have money, you'll sell my information too!"
Commander Bai chuckled upon hearing this, "We have our own rules. We're in the business of buying and selling information, which is perfectly normal. If you want someone else's information and can afford the price, I'll sell it to you just the same way. It's fair!"
"However, if someone breaks the rules and sells information without authorization, that is our fault, and we will compensate them with appropriate value!"
Li Changfeng's expression softened slightly upon hearing this. Commander Bai's words weren't without merit. "This head isn't worth enough!"
Commander Bai smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Of course! One mere spy is far from enough. I have another piece of information that will be extremely beneficial to you!"
Li Changfeng was slightly surprised upon hearing this. "Oh? What information is in my favor? Tell me!"
Commander Bai chuckled upon hearing this, "Just an hour ago, someone from your faction betrayed your information, allowing several major sects with grudges against you to assassinate you on the fifteenth of this month!"
Li Changfeng's face turned cold upon hearing this. "Who is this guy?!"
Upon hearing this, Commander Bai's lips curled up slightly. "If I'm not mistaken, it's Wang Jiao, the young master of the Dark Hall who was humiliated on the spot. I know a little about this person. He's narrow-minded and extremely arrogant, but he has no real skills. All he can talk about are his schemes and tricks!"
"And you made an enemy of him as soon as you came back. According to Elder Tu's observation, this person is very young and has people from the Cold Mountain Pharmacy. During this period, you are the only one who has an enemy of him, so it is easy to guess!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng's face darkened. "I didn't expect it to be this kid! Good! Very good!"
Commander Bai continued, "I stopped him from sending the message he wanted me to. I won't send it out. Also, Elder Tu left a mark on that kid, but with his cultivation level, he won't be able to detect it!"
"I just went to investigate, and it is indeed him. If you want my Wind and Rain Pavilion to testify, we are happy to oblige. I wonder if this compensation is worth it?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright! We're even! But you don't need to block this information; just pass it on to the relevant sects!"
Upon hearing this, Commander Bai gave Li Changfeng a deep look. "Are you trying to establish your authority?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng was immediately startled, his eyes narrowing slightly. "You actually managed to guess it!"
Upon hearing this, Commander Bai said solemnly, "Besides establishing your authority, I can't think of anything else you want to do to lure them here!"
"Are you sure? They know your strength. Even with the Imperial Court's power, they still have ways to take revenge on you, and the people they send will definitely not be simple!"
Li Changfeng frowned upon hearing this, "What does this have to do with the Imperial Court?"
Commander Bai asked in confusion, "You don't know? After you won first place, the Imperial Court's face was greatly enhanced, so they sent people and envoys from several major sects to persuade them not to retaliate against you. Although they agreed on the surface, they will definitely take action once they know your information!"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "It seems this matter is definitely related to Princess Minmin. I owe her another favor!"
Seeing Li Changfeng deep in thought, Commander Bai smiled and said, "Since you've made up your mind, I'll convey the message you want to deliver. I'll take my leave now!"
Li Changfeng smiled faintly upon hearing this, "Alright! Farewell!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Commander Bai lightly and transformed into a swift afterimage, disappearing slowly into the horizon.
At this moment, Li Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly. "Wang Jiao? It seems you really want to die! Fine! On the fifteenth, I'll give you a good beating!"
The next day.
In a secret place, people from five sects— Azure City Sect, Meteor Sect, Divine Fist Gate, Iron Palm Gang, and Gale Valley— were gathered together. Each of them had an extremely cold expression, and the whole atmosphere was very quiet.
"Is your information from the Wind and Rain Pavilion accurate?"
"Absolutely true! As you all know, we at the Wind and Rain Pavilion would never do anything to damage our reputation!"
"Alright! In that case, you can go now, we have something to discuss!"
The Azure City Sect elder said coldly, "Everyone! What do you think? Should we avenge this grudge?"
The elder of the Divine Fist Gate, his face filled with hatred, exclaimed, "Avenge! Why wouldn't we avenge this! If we don't avenge this, we'll have no face to show our faces in the martial world!"
The elder of Gale Valley chuckled upon hearing this, "I heard that your sects suffered a great loss at the Free and Unfettered Sect Ruins! Although my sect also has a grudge against Li Changfeng, it hasn't come to this!"
Upon hearing this, the Iron Palm Gang elder sneered, "Elder of Gale Valley! Stop spouting nonsense. Don't you covet that kid's inheritance? I don't believe you even if you say so! Tell me, is what you say credible or not!"
The elder of Gale Valley smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Hehe! This matter is still negotiable!"
The Meteor Sect elder frowned deeply. "Have you forgotten something?"
