puff!
Mo Beichen burst out laughing.
"This... is... me?"
Sushang was so angry that his head was practically spitting fire, and his expression was ferocious.
Mo Beichen whispered to Qingxing, "Wow, it's exactly the same as in the painting! The artist needs to pay more!"
Sushang said angrily, "This kind of person is ruining the reputation of the Xuanji Sect. He's despicable! He must be taught a lesson!"
Mo Beichen rubbed his hands together, eager to get started. "This is the kind of thing I love to do!"
Qingxing crossed her arms and nodded coldly.
Although he was young, he was taciturn and rather withdrawn.
The three pushed through the crowd and stood before the man impersonating Xu Chengming.
Sushang asked, "Where is the Xuanji Sect located?"
The man, busy collecting money, said without turning his head, "You'll see when you get there."
"That won't do. What if they mislead us by not knowing the exact location?"
"Our Xuanji Sect is the most powerful force in the world. Our sect leader's feat of annihilating the Wei Clan caused a sensation throughout the land. Would we possibly betray you?"
Therefore, they should be even more convincing to us.
Sushang stared with her almond-shaped eyes and said coldly.
The man finally turned his gaze, sizing them up. Perhaps impressed by their decent clothes, he reluctantly answered their questions, "Are all three of you going to join?"
"Good!"
Thirty gold coins.
Tell me, where is the Xuanji Sect?
This time, Sushang placed a Spirit Stone on the table.
The man's eyes widened immediately.
Spirit Stone!
This is a currency that retains its value even better than gold!
One Spirit Stone is equivalent to one hundred gold coins!
Moreover, judging from its crystal-clear color, it is definitely a top-grade Spirit Stone!
The man immediately gripped the Spirit Stone, shrugged, and said, "Alright, this elder will tell you. Our Xuanji Sect is located deep within the Southern Continent, in a mysterious place with boundless fortune!"
"Oh, how many people are in the Xuanji Sect?"
"You ask so many questions..." the man couldn't help but complain.
Sushang tossed down another Spirit Stone.
The man's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He laughed and said, " The Xuanji Sect is an invincible sect under heaven, with tens of thousands of disciples and three thousand elders alone. How about it? Tempted?"
"Our sect is expanding; we're planning to open about a hundred branch sects! If you bring a few friends, you can get the entrance fee halved!"
"Oh."
Sushang curled his lip.
What a load of bragging! Three thousand elders...
Mo Beichen and Qingxing looked at the man as if he were a monkey trying to teach an expert!
Sushang then said, "I want to see your sect leader."
The man's eyes darted around, and he hurriedly said, "Does the sect leader think you can just see him whenever you want?"
Whoosh!
A handful of Spirit Stone were slammed onto the table.
The dazzling light startled those around them.
The space fell silent for a moment.
The man swallowed hard, his eyes fixed on the Spirit Stone.
He was still somewhat hesitant.
Whoosh!
Sushang threw another handful of Spirit Stone.
The man was about to kneel down.
Where did this God of Wealth come from?! Oh no, I can't take it!
Whoosh!
Sushang threw another handful of Spirit Stone.
The Spirit Stone on the table couldn't all fit, and they rolled onto the ground.
"Okay! I'll take you there!"
The man was completely smitten!
He beckoned someone over to take his place, then slowly led Sushang and the other two towards the house behind him.
Yoho!
They actually went all the way with the act?
Let's see what kind of sect leader you can concoct!
The three Sushang exchanged a glance, then walked towards the room. They entered an inner chamber separated by a screen. The man said he was going to invite the sect leader, then walked towards the screen and didn't come out for a while.
"The sect leader is very busy. He only came because you are honored guests. Please speak quickly!" the man urged impatiently.
"What are you afraid of?" Mo Beichen rolled his eyes.
"When have I ever been afraid?" the man said, wiping his sweat. "Hurry up, the sect leader is about to leave!"
Sushang looked up and saw a burly figure sitting behind the screen; its width was awe-inspiring.
Is this guy the owner?
The guy on the flyer was at least skinny, but this guy's gotten three sizes bigger?
This is an insult to the master!
So annoying...
Sushang pursed her lips, suppressing her anger.
She asked, "Are you the leader of the Xuanji Sect?"
The other side remained silent...
Sushang frowned.
The man hurriedly explained, "The sect leader is very sparing with words; if you want him to speak... you know what I mean."
Okay!
They're ripping people off like crazy!
That's really impressive!
Sushang really wanted to slap this thing away with his claws, but not now.
Let's play around with this fake sect leader for now!
Sushang pouted at Mo Beichen, thinking how greedy the man was. She hadn't brought many Spirit Stone with her when she came down the mountain, and now they were all gone...
Mo Beichen gritted his teeth and threw a Spirit Stone at the man.
The man immediately beamed with joy.
Behind the screen, the imposter spoke, "I am Yan, the sect leader of the Xuanji Sect and ranked number one on the Heavenly Ranking."
Pooh!
What kind of utter rubbish dares to impersonate the sect leader?!
Aren't you afraid of shortening your lifespan?
Mo Beichen rolled his eyes dramatically.
When the Sushang raised another question, the counterfeit product fell silent again.
Mo Beichen, being impatient, poured a bag of Spirit Stone over the man's head. The man, instead of being angry, was delighted and gathered them all into his arms.
"Can you answer my questions fluently now?" Sushang wanted to hit someone.
"Speak."
The imposter doesn't forget to maintain his persona of being concise and economical with words.
That pretentious attitude is just asking for a beating!
Sushang crossed his fingers and moved them slightly.
"Our sect leader is the number one on the Heavenly Pride Ranking, Guixu Changying. We'd like to ask for your guidance, what do you say? After all, you've taken so many Spirit Stone from us, it wouldn't be right not to offer some pointers."
There was a moment of silence on the other end, then the question was asked, "What level are you at?"
Mo Beichen: " Nascent Soul Realm Fifth Stage."
Qingxing: " Nascent Soul Realm Sixth Stage."
Sushang: " Immortal Ascension Realm Tenth Stage."
Clang!
The Spirit Stone in the man's arms fell to the ground.
His expression changed.
The Immortal Ascension Realm?!
The imposter said, "You on the far right, you are permitted to challenge this sect leader."
On the far right... Mo Beichen!
"Challenge your mother!"
Mo Beichen suddenly turned hostile. He leaped away, drew a silver sword from his sleeve, Dao Sword, the screen exploded.
Ouch!
A gasp of surprise rang out.
Bang!
Then came the sound of the seat shattering.
The shards of the screen fell, and a fat man with a large head and ears fell to the ground. His fat face was deathly pale, and he was so frightened that his crotch was soaked.
"You're the sect leader of the Xuanji Sect? You fat pig!"
Mo Beichen stepped on the imposter's head, and the latter was so frightened that he cried out for mercy.
Mo Beichen was even angrier.
He grabbed the fat man, aimed at his greasy face, and slapped him left and right, "You pretend to be the sect leader, fine, but can't you at least have some backbone? Scared already? I'll strangle you!"
He stood on tiptoe, grabbed the imposter by the neck with both hands, and shook him out of sight. The imposter rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue.
Who... who are you people?
The man was so frightened his legs went weak, and he slowly shuffled towards the door.
When counterfeit goods meet genuine products, what kind of people are we?
" Xuanji Sect?!"
"You got it right, and your reward is a slap in the face—your favorite treat!"
Sushang spoke, he slapped the man.
Bang!
A figure burst through the house and soared into the heavens.
"Look, something flew out!"
"It was a shooting star!"
"How did the shooting star get out of the house?"
"It couldn't be a person, could it!"...
People outside the house were talking about it.
Inside the room, upon hearing that Sushang and his group were genuine members of the Xuanji Sect, the imposter was so frightened that he wet himself. The little girl slapped him again, sending him flying.
"Another shooting star!"
"Father, there's a shooting star in the house! I want to go see it!"
"I can't squeeze through!"
After dealing with the two men, Mo Beichen walked out of the room and told everyone the truth. The people who had been cheated were indignant and grabbed the two swindlers outside, giving them a good beating.
Sushang and his two companions retrieved the Spirit Stone and returned to the Xuanji Sect.
He accomplished his task and left without a trace, concealing his identity and fame!
