Qiu Ling was utterly speechless at Long Xiao's words.
"Then tell me whatever you want, young friend."
Only then did Long Xiao nod in satisfaction.
"I need a plot of land in Sacred Pill City. It must be in a bustling district, and it must cover at least two li around."
Qiu Ling's expression stiffened at Long Xiao's demand. He was opening his lion's mouth far too wide.
Cao Ying also felt it was unreasonable. Even her family could not enjoy such treatment in Sacred Pill City; at most, they could have a small courtyard.
"Well..." Qiu Ling found himself in a difficult position.
Sacred Pill City was the Pill Tower Headquarters. There was no way they could allow another faction to establish itself there.
"Young friend, what do you need land in Sacred Pill City for?"
"I have my own uses for it. As long as it won't harm your Pill Tower, that should be enough. Can you agree or not? If you can't, bring someone who can."
Suddenly, Long Xiao's gaze turned icy.
A scorching power swept through the hall.
That aura gave Qiu Ling the illusion that he was staring into a terrifying sea of flames. The pressure made his heart tremble.
"Young brother... you..."
So powerful!
He sensed a threat from Long Xiao.
"You hiding in the void, come out too."
Suddenly, Long Xiao called out toward the void.
"Haha, your strength is extraordinary, young friend."
A hearty laugh rang out, and a man stepped out of the void.
The man wore white robes. He was tall and slender, with an exceptionally refined bearing.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're Xuan Kongzi, one of the Pill Tower's Three Giants. Can you agree to the terms I just stated?"
Long Xiao looked Xuan Kongzi straight in the eye.
