Chapter 1254: Chapter 1254 Crisis Handling Methods

The crowd turned their heads toward the sound and saw a tall-crowned man walking over, seemingly leisurely yet quick.

This person had a cultivation level of the fourth stage of Exalted realm. Upon approaching and seeing Kong Ziyi, he was momentarily stunned... Sixth stage of Exalted realm?

Once he noticed the Taiqing Edict Plate that Kong Ziyi had yet to put away, his eyes widened again, "An Elder of Taiqing?"

Kong Ziyi glanced at him but completely ignored him. Though she was a core disciple of Taiqing, she was not particularly arrogant, and usually responded to fellow Intermediate Level cultivators.

But this time, since the other party first inquired who was making a move in the Fang Market, he obviously had already taken a stance. Towards such a person, she was not going to be courteous, so she merely turned to the High Tier Qi Refinement cultivator and spoke expressionlessly, "Worth two thousand Spirit Stones?"

The High Tier Qi Refinement cultivator finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked toward the newly arrived elder, "Elder Wang, please speak. Mao Daoist sold a stone worth two thousand Spirit Stones, yes or no?"

Kong Ziyi’s face darkened instantly, "I’m talking to you, yet you’re looking around and avoiding—do you have a death wish?"

"Daoist, he dares not answer you," Elder Wang gave a polite nod and spoke amicably, "Allow me to introduce myself, Wang Wushan of the Qu Lianwang Family. May I know the Daoist’s name?"

Kong Ziyi was relatively reasonable, temporarily abandoning the pursuit of the Qi Refinement cultivator and turning to Wang Wushan, coldly speaking, "Do you think a Green Grass Stone... is worth two thousand Spirit Stones?"

"Well... indeed it is not," Wang Wushan chuckled dryly, honestly admitting, but then he defended, "However, Fang Market has its rules; once the transaction is completed, one must accept the result, regardless of one’s lack of insight, one cannot blame others..."

Kong Ziyi sneered, "Something that can be bought with silver yuan, sold for two thousand Spirit Stones—is that selling or fraud? My people merely asked for the price and were compelled to buy it... can’t blame others?"

"This..." Wang Wushan actually understood what kind of person Mao was, but that bastard often serviced him well, and this time it was also for that oddly looking female cultivator—along with another two quite decent-looking female cultivators, thus he played this trick.

Hence, he still sought to support this person, "Alright, he acted a bit inappropriately, not realizing he had offended Taiqing Elder’s affiliates; I am willing to compensate with a punch-sized Destiny Stone, hoping Daoist can grant me some face."

Destiny Stones were widely used in Taiqing, nearly as good as hard currency and much harder to acquire than Spirit Stones.

But Kong Ziyi... was not lacking Destiny Stones, she smiled indifferently, "Your face? I’ve really never heard of the Qu Lianwang Family, sounds rather remarkable... You protect those who seize with brute force, have you considered your family’s reputation?"

Wang Wushan’s face slightly reddened, "This person’s conduct is improper, I will admonish him. My sister Wang Wufeng, currently serving as a disciple of the Crimson Pheonix Sect, perhaps you have heard of her."

"Wang Wufeng," Kong Ziyi nodded, "I have heard of her, but she’s already joined the Four Sects—what relation does she still have with your Wang Family?"

Wang Wushan smiled faintly, "The bond persists, under normal circumstances I wouldn’t mention her, it’s just seeing you are also a member of the Four Sects, so I brought it up. I hope you can give me face."

Kong Ziyi felt a bit troubled, within the Crimson Pheonix Sect, she indeed had several close friends. She turned her head to Feng Jun, "Crimson Pheonix Sect... this is your call, I have many acquaintances."

Wang Wushan cast an astonished glance at Feng Jun, feeling somewhat puzzled, this third stage of the Exalted realm, and acquainted with the Crimson Pheonix Sect?

Feng Jun hesitated for a moment and then asked, "This Wang Wufeng, is she closer to Bai Luan or Hei Luan?"

Bai Luan could barely count as his friend, Hei Luan as half an adversary; he was first probing the other party’s camp before deciding.

Wang Wushan was shocked upon hearing this—this guy was indeed astute; even knowing the discord between Hei Luan and Bai Luan, no wonder that Taiqing Elder entrusted matters to him.

However, he had no intention of creating adversaries for his sister, so he sternly replied, "That is an issue among the Nine Luan Elders, my sister cannot intervene; are you considering alliances?"

"Since you have no alliances, then let’s kill him," Feng Jun lifted his hand, directly smashing the slightly overweight, Mao-surnamed Qi Refinement cultivator into pulp, coldly speaking, "As a warning to later arrivals."

The sudden event took Wang Wushan by surprise; then he shouted in anger, "Bold, you dare treat my Qu Lianwang Family as non-existent?"

"I never treat you as non-existent," Feng Jun grinned, "You dare come to trouble me and Kong Daoist, it’s your Wang Family that’s bold indeed."

Wang Wushan had already sensed that this time he might have stirred a massive trouble, but now, in front of so many eyes, he couldn’t evade, so he shouted sternly, "Daring to kill in Fang Market—raise the alert!"

The High Tier Qi Refinement cultivator was long prepared, firing a flare into the air without hesitation, which exploded loudly.

"What’s wrong with killing?" Kong Ziyi sneered, then drew out a token, "Open your dog eyes and take a look, what is this?"

The Qu Lianwang Family had four Exalted Elders—excluding Wang Wufeng—and their family’s patriarch was even at the High-Rank of the Exalted realm; though his days were drawing to a close, he was still in the High-Rank of the Exalted realm.

The remaining three Exalted Elders, with Wang Wushan of the fourth stage having the highest cultivation, while the other two were at the initial stage of the Exalted realm.

The above belongs to the background introduction, it is precisely due to such a backdrop, that the Wang Family’s discernment is capable.

Wang Wushan saw this token and was immediately taken aback, "Taiqing Elder Token... your surname is Kong?"

Mingsha Fang Market is at least three hundred thousand miles from here, but many things spread extremely fast, especially sensitive news—many people don’t know, simply because they don’t have access to the right platforms for such information.

At least Wang Wushan knew that a disciple of Taiqing made a great tumult in Mingsha Fang Market, resulting in many deaths, and the annihilation of several clans, including the Lu Family Brothers known for their oppressive trade practices.

He even knew that in the camp of the Lu Family Brothers, there were not only three cultivators but also an Intermediate Level Exit-Realm surnamed Dong.

Depending on one’s position, one is concerned with different matters, and the infamy of the Lu Family Brothers actually didn’t spread too far. However, the Qu Lianwang Family has grand designs and far-reaching tentacles, so knowing about the Lu Family is not surprising.

In fact, the Wang Family even knew that the Taiqing cultivator rampaging in Mingsha Fang Market was named Kong Ziyi, a disciple of Zixia Peak, holding a token from Master Sumiao—after all, the incident was over a month ago.

Therefore, when Wang Wushan realized that the Taiqing cultivator in front of him might be Kong Ziyi, he almost wet himself in fear.

If it were another Taiqing disciple, he might not pay much mind, as he had some confidence too, but when it came to Kong Ziyi, he truly lacked the courage to resist.

Kong Ziyi looked at him with an odd expression, "If my surname weren’t Kong, would you be inclined to show me favor?"

"No, no," Wang Wushan shook his head like a rattle, "I just suddenly realized, the one surnamed Mao forcing sales... really deserves death, I shouldn’t have pleaded on his behalf, I was wrong."

Kong Ziyi sneered coldly, "He, a mere High Tier of Qi Refining, dared to force sales because you were backing him up."

Wang Wushan wanted to retort but truly didn’t dare, so he awkwardly kept a forced smile, "Kong Cultivator, you jest."

Kong Ziyi disregarded him, frowning as she spoke to herself, "So I feel the true one deserving punishment is the supporter from behind, it’s your Wang Family, indeed reading ten thousand books is no match for traveling ten thousand miles... Without the Wang Family’s support, how dare he harass my subordinate?"

She was summarizing experiences — in practice, such summarizations are necessary to draw lessons, but Wang Wushan was scared half to death upon hearing it, hurriedly defending, "That was their own fault, unrelated to my Wang Family."

"Still dare to quibble," Kong Ziyi truly got angry, her brow furrowed, speaking coldly, "The Qu Lianwang Family, is it? I must see if Taiqing really can’t deal with you!"

As soon as her words fell, she raised a finger, a slice of green beam shot toward him, "Really think Taiqing disciples are out of touch with reality?"

"Kong Cultivator, this is a misunderstanding," Wang Wushan screamed, and his figure immediately collapsed into nothingness.

The next instant, his body reformed half a mile away, with a bitter face, "Can you hear my explanation?"

"Formless Demon Secret Technique?" Kong Ziyi was first stunned, and then recalled her grandmother’s advice—Master Sumiao had said, one must proceed without hesitation when necessary, otherwise not only would it tarnish Taiqing’s appearance, but it would also dull her own reputation as a Master.

So she laughed again, "Is this your trump card? It seems Taiqing disciples haven’t asserted their power for a long time..."

But Wang Wushan was truly frightened, the Wang Family in the local area is indeed a notable clan, even if the Lu Family Brothers wanted to do something, they had to consider the Wang Family’s attitude—this isn’t just empty words, there have been precedents.

However, the Wang Family truly couldn’t withstand a sweep from the Taiqing Sect, the tragic incident in Mingsha Fang Market was vivid in his memory.

No matter how strong the clan is, don’t get too arrogant—you really can’t contend with the Four Sects and Wutai.

Therefore, he couldn’t help but shout, "My Wang Family really doesn’t intend to offend, if there’s any offense, we are willing to compensate."

Kong Ziyi had already raised her hand again, her palm emitting a green light, clearly intending to strike once more.

Upon hearing his words, she finally paused, then turned to Feng Jun, "Daoist Friend Feng, what do you say?"

"Execute this rogue," Feng Jun truly loathes those who force sales, something worth mere silver dollars, you sell it for two thousand Spirit Stones, that’s really too much.

Alright, he also engages in lucrative business, it’s not greatly problematic to earn a lot—transdimensional business, if it’s not at least a hundredfold profit, it’s not considered doing business, there’s nothing to say about that.

Even if the other’s profit is stronger than his, they are simply good at doing business—you take the gamble, you accept the loss.

But... lucrative business should attract willing participants, shouldn’t it? Feng Jun was most displeased with this point.

Having already engaged in lucrative business, but still resorting to forceful buying and selling—this is naked robbery.
