The faces of Zhong Xinci and the others on the opposite side turned grim. They looked at the young Tuoba Yun opposite them, their gazes filled with malice and coldness. Tuoba Yun’s tone was simply arrogant beyond measure. Charity! Eyes with no respect! The three people who came with Tuoba Yun directly sat down on the sofa beside them. Read full story at novel fire.net One of them was shrouded in a black robe and cloak, his appearance unclear. He quietly sat on the sofa in the corner, silent and still, not even raising his head. Nothing in this box was worth him looking directly at. The other two were two elders, appearing to be in their sixties or seventies. They both wore identical green robes, tall and rosy-faced, without a trace of wrinkles. One had neatly raised hair, the other had disheveled hair. "Tuoba Yun, don’t think that just because your Tuoba family resides in Yanjing, you can consider yourselves superior!" Family Head Zhong, Zhong Yihong, was very displeased with Tuoba Yun’s attitude and coldly sneered, "When your father came to discuss cooperation with us, he wasn’t as arrogant as you are! After all, our two families have had dealings; what’s with this arrogance? Are you trying to break ties with my Zhong family!" At this point, Zhong Yihong spoke very harshly. "Heh heh, Family Head Zhong, the past is the past, now is now! What does your Zhong family count for?" Tuoba Yun sneered, his face cold with disdain. For Zhong Yihong and the others, he was full of contempt. "Arrogant Xiao Bai, nothing but a bully!" This time, Huang Long, who had a more fiery temperament, couldn’t help but angrily rebuke Tuoba Yun. Then he turned his gaze coldly toward the two elders sitting beside Tuoba Yun on the sofa: "The renowned Tianya Two Elders of the Yanjing Independent Practitioner World are actually selling their strength for worldly family power! Wang Gu, Ling Feihong, is your attitude the same as this junior?" In the Yanjing Cultivation World, Tianya Two Elders were somewhat well-known. Especially in the Loose Cultivation World, they had a certain prestige. The elder with neatly raised hair was called Wang Gu, and the one with disheveled hair was Ling Feihong. Upon hearing Huang Long’s words, Wang Gu glanced at Huang Long and the others, sneering coldly, "Huang Long, Ye Shenhao, Zhang Zhenbin, are you here to joke around?" As he spoke, Wang Gu glanced briefly at Zhong Yihong, finally casting a deep look at Zhong Xinci. "Thousand Mountain Plain, Danhua Sect’s Zhong Xinci! From Jinling City’s Zhong family!" After finishing, Wang Gu turned again to Huang Long and the others, "Although there’s Zhong Xinci, the Zhong family is still a worldly family. Now, we are all much the same!" "As for Tuoba Yun’s words..." Wang Gu paused, sneering once more, "That’s our attitude! If you don’t agree, the Zhong family might not even have a taste of the soup!" Huang Long also sneered, then focused his gaze on the silhouette sitting in the corner of the sofa. That person was still shrouded in a black robe and cloak, his appearance unclear. What made Huang Long’s eyes slightly narrow was that he couldn’t detect any fluctuations of breath from the other person. Is he a normal person? Huang Long was filled with suspicion. Even if the other was at the Golden Core Stage, he wouldn’t be able to conceal his True Qi so flawlessly, without a single ripple. Immediately, he addressed Wang Gu again, "Aren’t you going to introduce your friend?" "Humph, does it make a difference whether I introduce him or not!" Wang Gu didn’t respond, but Tuoba Yun spoke again. He showed no fear towards Huang Long and the cultivators, his face totally devoid of dread. He sneered, "No time for other nonsense. I’m here to discuss the ancient territory discovered beneath Taishan with the Zhong family. But really, there’s nothing to discuss. I can make the decisions!" "You make the decisions?" Zhong Yihong narrowed his eyes slightly, coldly saying, "Young Master Tuoba, this is Jinling City, not Yanjing! A mighty dragon can’t crush a local snake, I thought you’d understand that!" "A mighty dragon can’t crush a local snake? Haha... save it! I really enjoy crushing!" Tuoba Yun released a wild laugh, then shook his head and said, "I’ve come not to talk but to give you opportunities! The matter of the ancient territory is simple, it’s a seventy-thirty split!" "Seventy-thirty split?" Opposite, Zhong Yihong and the others were taken aback. Quickly, Zhong Yihong’s face turned grim, shouting fiercely, "Kid, you’re too arrogant! Seventy-thirty split? You really have the nerve to say it!" "Does Family Head Zhong have a better suggestion?" Unperturbed by Zhong Yihong’s rebuke, Tuoba Yun continued with a mocking tone, "I’m all ears!" "The ancient territory was discovered by my Zhong family, and you Tuoba family want to snatch midway, allowing you to join in is giving you face, so don’t really break ties!" With Zhong Xinci and Huang Long on this side supporting him, Zhong Yihong maintained a consistently strong and uncompromising attitude, coldly saying, "The best split is sixty-forty! My Zhong family gets sixty, your Tuoba family gets forty. That’s giving your Tuoba family the greatest respect!" "No, no, no... Family Head Zhong! Your suggestion is not viable!" Tuoba Yun hurriedly waved his hand, shaking his head, "Your suggestion is dangerous! Because... that’s bound to cause bloodshed! If you don’t want this matter to escalate beyond control, I can offer you a final suggestion! We split it twenty-eighty, you get twenty, we Tuoba family get eighty!" "See, I’m very reasonable!" After finishing, Tuoba Yun looked at Zhong Yihong with a smile, though his expression exuded endless arrogance. Huang Long and the others angrily stood up. On the opposite side, Wang Gu and the others also stood up, coldly smiling. "Heh heh, are we going to see a river of blood here?" Wang Gu stared at Huang Long and the others, sneering. The atmosphere in the box suddenly became tense, with swords drawn. "Haha... Brother Zhong, Young Master Tuoba, why are you at odds..." At this moment, voices came from outside the box as two figures walked in. A young man and an elder entered. The young man wore a well-tailored suit, looking very dignified and clearly of high status. The elder entered in traditional attire, silent. Once inside, the elder respectfully bowed to Wang Gu and the others, then straightened up and stood silently behind the young man. "Hey, Wan Kuang, why are you here?" Seeing the young man and elder appear, Tuoba Yun turned and appeared surprised. "Heh heh, wasn’t there a previous tea collaboration with Zhong Zhaobei’s Zhong family? This time I’ve come to the East Continent for an important matter heading to the East Sea to acquire a company there!" The young man named Wan Kuang turned his head to Tuoba Yun and laughed, "When I arrived, Zhong Zhaobei mentioned in a call that Young Master Tuoba was also coming. Unexpectedly, you’ve arrived so promptly..." "But, where’s Zhong Zhaobei?" Wan Kuang said, turning to look around for Zhong Zhaobei.
