Bai Qingqian had no other options; all she could do was send out messages through secret channels to Bai Er Ye in Jin City and to someone whose whereabouts were unknown—both were like trying to quench thirst from a distant water source.

Lacking hard power was the root of her current passivity.

She had intended to use all the resources of the Mirage Branch for operations but had neglected certain aspects.

Outside the courtyard walls, Bai Yujiang and Bai Yuhai eagerly anticipated, but they waited in vain for the hopeful situation they desired; the courtyard remained silent.

Bai Yujiang scoffed, “Our Seventh Sister is really just a mouse at heart, plenty of tough talk but too scared to act; could it be that we’ve deployed too many people and frightened her?”

Bai Yuhai shook his head; his brother was clueless about everything and still he had to explain things to prevent him from unintentionally ruining their plans.

“I intentionally deployed so many people precisely to prevent this woman from doing something foolish; now is not the time for a complete showdown, as it wouldn’t be good for anyone if things truly escalated.

Don’t worry, everything is arranged, our uncles and great-uncles are still on their way here, and once they arrive, we can hold a family council, take away her leadership, and then everything will be ours to command.

Do they think dragging it out will solve anything?

Heh, it’s all within my expectations!”

Bai Yujiang was delighted.

“Second brother, and about our great-uncle… if he comes, it might not be so smooth, right?

I suspect that woman must have sent out messages through some channel.

Unfortunately, we’ve been here for too short a time, still unable to completely cut off her moves.”

Bai Yuhai coldly smiled, “Don’t worry, arrangements have already been made in Jin City; our great-uncle is too busy to get involved here.”

The two exchanged a smile; after months at the Mirage, and varied preparations, they finally approached the season for netting their catch.

A high-turbaned Daoist landed beside them, a proud look on his face, “Young masters, I’ve said it before, deploying these people was utterly unnecessary; if word gets out, it’ll only invite ridicule.”

Bai Yuhai altered his previous arrogant demeanor, politely bowed, and spoke earnestly,

“Senior Xu, it’s just a matter of days; if fast, within ten days, if slow, not exceeding a month, we have to seal their ways of secretly moving the library, right?

Rest assured, the tribute promised to you and the others, not a single Spirit Stone less, and if all goes smoothly, perhaps even additional rewards?”

He had to be respectfully deferential; the helpers they had invited, though not cultivators from official sects, were all prominent figures among loose cultivators, perfectly suited for the job.

Being Tongxuan Realm cultivators, they were seniors to him and his brother who were still floundering in the Bridge Connection Realm; this was also why they were eager to gain control of the Mirage Branch, to arrange resources for their ascendance to the Upper Realm.

Their approach to cultivation, typical of merchant progeny, took a different path; not focusing on enlightenment, they relied on sheer resource manipulation.

Although they had no hope for longevity, living an extra few decades was within reach.

Daoist Xu’s visit was to remind them, as a guest elder of the firm, this was also a way for them to earn extra income; unlike cultivators with strong backing, they had to strive for their Daoist Path on their own.

As loose cultivators like them, they didn’t qualify to be island masters in the Outer Sea, unless they turned to piracy, living day by day; how many could truly make such a commitment?

Those bold enough went to sea, those less daring stayed on the continent, mixing among others, but ultimately, their aim was the same—a choice between striking it rich overnight and living a safe but mundane life.

Having received a promise, of course, they had to show a responsible attitude in front of their patrons, spreading their Divine Sense to one area while muttering incantations, essentially performing for their two financiers.

“Old Sha, any situation on your side?”

There was no activity in the Divine Sense; such was the usual state for these people, too lax and undisciplined, either sneaking off to handle their personal matters or solely focusing on their cultivation.

But he still had to display a demeanor in front of the two employers as if everything was under control,

“Sha Lao Si’s Divine Sense has reported back to me, everything is normal.”

Then he turned in another direction, “Wu Lao Er, come out and respond!”

Still no movement, which caused some unusual feelings in Daoist Xu’s heart.

As a cultivator, he naturally possessed basic alertness.

Energizing his dantian, he turned towards a building behind him,

“Wang Lao Wu, show yourself!”

His Divine Sense sank like a stone in the sea.

Compared to the relatively small occupied area of the Bai family company, this was very abnormal.

Even if they were slacking off, surely not everyone would be slacking off at the same time, right?

Knowing something was wrong, he didn’t bother with the two financiers and leapt into the air.

He needed to hover and see what exactly was happening.

At that instant, a burst of spiritual energy flared in a corner beside him, and at the same time, a dazzling light shot straight at him with a speed that made it impossible to evade!

Fortunately, he was prepared and flipped out a magic shield in his hand, colliding squarely with the incoming dazzling light, the powerful impact forcing him to involuntarily retreat in the air.

He saw clearly, it was a magic arrow!

But before he could take any further action, while the force from the shield-arrow interaction had not yet dissipated, a shadow suddenly spun out from the dazzling light.

It was a flying sword, concealed under the brilliance of the magic arrow!

It was over, a sword cultivator had come for him.

This was Daoist Xu’s last consciousness.

The two financiers below watched, dumbstruck.

Their realms were not sufficient to discern the truth of the situation in that split second.

They only knew Daoist Xu looked stylish as he flew, his shield imposing, his clothes fluttering, exuding an aura of immortality.

As for the dazzling light, that might be some special spell?

It was not until Daoist Xu fell that they realized something was wrong.

The next moment, a lean figure turned around the corner of the building and slowly walked over, a long bow slung across his back, his gaze piercing.

It was as if the two didn’t exist; he walked past them without a sideward glance, as if they were invisible.

Then, he knocked twice on the gate, “Shan Sect disciple, here to collect what was promised by the employers.”

Bai Yuhai wanted to stop him but dared not speak, worried that opening his mouth would lead him to the same fate as Daoist Xu; Bai Yujiang was even more overwhelmed, trembling all over, trying to stand taller, fearing that losing his composure would leave him collapsed on the ground.

They still hoped, hoped that other Guest Elders from Anhe Trading Company could come to stop him, but there was nothing, the entire courtyard silent as though everyone was asleep?

The commotion outside had also alerted those inside, Bai Qingqian wasn’t too surprised, this was the typical style of the Shan Sect’s sword cultivators.

“Yazi, you…”

Fang Yazi interrupted her, “I’m staying at the Tongfu Inn.

If you need anything, just find me there!”

This was addressed to Bai Qingqian, but also to Bai Yujiang and Bai Yuhai.
