Demon Sword Sect’s Undercover
Chapter 394 - 394 393 Yazi Shows His Ferocity 1

394: Chapter 393: Yazi Shows His Ferocity 1 394: Chapter 393: Yazi Shows His Ferocity 1 Bai Yuhai remained indifferent; in fact, once they took this step, he and his son could never turn back.

They weren’t fools; how could they not know the disadvantages of offending the Shan Sect’s sword cultivators?

But as mentioned before, for reasons unknown, the Shan Sect had always rejected the Bai Family.

Rumor had it that the Shan Country’s merchant sector conspired with some sword cultivators to hinder the Bai Family, fearing that their adept business operations would seize their monopolized business opportunities within Shan Country, thus giving these non-direct descendants of the Bai Family a chance.

They continued to choose the Anhe Daoist Sect, adhering to the principle of sticking with the familiar rather than the unfamiliar, understanding each other extremely well, and because the present Anhe Daoist Sect was not what it used to be.

In fact, without compromise, how could there be freedom?

The reason these people were allowed out was that they had agreed to the batch of forces from the Anhe Daoist Sect that had turned to the Wu Sect, to no longer use Divine City as a base but to shift their focus outside of Anhe, thus choosing Mirage, which was in the best operational condition, also due to its unique geographical environment.

Just as Bai Qingqian had said, rather than calling it the power of the Anhe Daoist Sect, it was more apt to call it the power of the Wu Sect.

This was the very foundation of the courage for him and his son to challenge the authority of the main branch, representing the mindset of most branches of the Bai Family: they did not want centuries of foundation to be dragged down by the obstinate Anhe Daoists, nor did they want to cooperate with the remotely located and conservatively operational Shan Sect.

They preferred to do business within the affluent realms of the Daoist Sects, where the business opportunities were immensely better than in Shan Country, incomparably so.

Overall, this was a choice very much in line with business principles, not merely a so-called internal power struggle within the clan; being able to implement it was tantamount to bullying Bai Second Lord, who was isolated and without support, while the most prestigious Bai Elder and the most powerful Bai Third Lord were confined.

This was a clash of philosophies, determining the future of the Bai Family, and none could afford to give in; realizing this, Bai Qingqian spoke no further, only coldly saying:

“All the assets of the Mirage branch, not only belong to the Bai Family, but also partly to the Shan Sect.

Sealing the library is a provocation, and you bear all consequences.”

Bai Yuhai was neither urgent nor anxious, “Of course, we recognize this point, after all, it was a decision made by the Jiedu Mansion initially; we also won’t covet the Shan Sect’s wealth, the temporary sealing is just to check and settle accounts.

So, the Shan Sect will understand, Seventh Sister need not worry.”

Without missing a beat, Bai Yuhai’s reasoning was sound, logical, and clearly, they had done extensive preparations beforehand, came prepared, and fully showcased their shrewdness in business disputes, on this point, Bai Qingqian still fell short; she focused all her attention outward, but neglected that all collapses actually begin from within.

But she was still indignant, even if it meant sealing, she was still the current owner of the Mirage branch, certainly not a mere prisoner.

“I’ve promised others, and I will do it, I will go now to prepare the goods, see who dares to stop me!”

Bai Yuhai smiled profoundly, “You are the owner, at least for now, and you certainly have the right to oversee any property in the storerooms, but the precondition is, you cannot take them out the front door.”

Bai Qingqian felt frustrated; she found that whenever she faced difficult challenges, there was no one she could rely on.

Last time it had been the same with Zeng Ji, and it was the same this time.

Was it her own fault or just bad luck?

She needed to reflect on her control, and wondered if she would still have a chance this time?

She didn’t place her hopes on that person, this was a family affair; this time, other than Bai Second Lord, there was no one else with the capability to help her.

She personally went to the storeroom, packed the materials Fang Yazi needed, and also that valuable bow; she felt depressed, the nth time someone called her sister-in-law, and she couldn’t even send out a gift?

This night, she was destined to be sleepless.

The next morning, she made a decision.

Considering the aggressive actions of the Shan Sect’s sword cultivators, she couldn’t really wait for Fang Yazi to come here to get the items; it would be better for her to deliver them herself, reducing a lot of trouble.

But before she could leave, Old An quietly came in, “Miss, many unfamiliar cultivators have appeared around the courtyard, I think they look like guest elders from the Anhe Trading Company, and even from the Wu Sect; if you must go out, I’m afraid it won’t end well, they are numerous, and as an old man, I can’t guarantee your safety.”

Bai Qingqian’s anger surged, she leapt to the roof, and swept her Divine Sense around, indeed, four or five unfamiliar cultivators were scattered around the courtyard, blatantly unscrupulous.

Just as Old An had said, these people were not a force the Bai Lingzhong father and son could muster; such Tongxuan Cultivators, to mobilize them, required not only a price but also significant personal strength.

With the current state of the Anhe Daoist Sect, it was hardly possible, unless supported by the Wu Sect from behind, there was no other explanation.

Seeing her still reluctant, Old An had to remind her, “These people are strong, mostly Tongxuan Realm, used to this line of work, experienced, in fact, no different from me.

I can handle two at most, that’s the limit, but they have five…”

Leaving the house had suddenly become a flight?

Bai Qingqian’s fury was indescribable, but she knew that now, more than ever, was not the time to lose her composure impulsively.

Some might hope for her to explode, and then something to happen in the process?

In a sense, the bloody conflicts within the family and power struggles within sects were not different; driven by interests, anything could happen.

If she met with an accident, wouldn’t it allow tampering with the goods in the storeroom, inciting the Shan Sect’s sword cultivators to a thunderous rage, potentially causing another disaster for the Bai Family?

“We won’t go out, we’ll wait here, and also, take the opportunity to seek help from the Shan Sect’s company…

forget it, better not to ask them.”

Now, Hou Niao’s status was merely that of an ordinary member of the Shan Sect, neither holding an office nor much influence, as the Bai Family’s business affected the interests of these merchants of the Shan Sect to some extent, so their relationship was also quite ordinary.

Bai Qingqian was betting on Hou Niao’s future, but before the future arrived, there was still too much time to endure; the problem was, she currently had no status.

As a sister-in-law, she had neither a name nor reality…

Old An took a deep breath, what he feared the most was the owner’s impulsive anger, he had no ability to ensure her safety outnumbered and outpowered.

“I have already passed the message to the Shan Sect’s company, not asking for help, just hoping that when luck is good, some sword cultivator will happen to return to the city…

Such matters, entanglements among guest elders, cannot be escalated easily, still needing cultivators registered with the Jiedu Mansion to intervene logically.

So, they want to monopolize your rights through sealing?

Then we can just drag it on, plenty of sword cultivators will soon return.”
