Chapter 753: Chapter 323: Not Appealing Anymore (Please Subscribe)_3

The tea in his hands was the Formless Divine Sect’s finest Spiritual Tea, "Purple Mansion Green," yet Ku Cangsheng could not taste a hint of its flavor.

Before coming, Ku Cangsheng had already anticipated that the Formless Divine Sect might not show him a friendly face.

But he still did not expect that Li Changsheng would be so utterly disrespectful.

This was not just about not showing a friendly face but an overt humiliation!

Li Changsheng was known for being sinister and sly, honey-mouthed but harboring a dagger in his belly, fond of posturing.

He was versatile in manners, never offending friends in terms of etiquette, and certainly not humiliating others without a reason, especially not an ally of the Formless Divine Sect.

His actions now only pointed to one thing: the Formless Divine Sect’s patience with Divine Desolation Eternal Youth City had run out, and they were ready to burn bridges.

The Formless Divine Sect’s invitation to them for tea in this place was the last bit of courtesy from Li Changsheng.

If the two sides could not come to an agreement next, they would have to meet on the battlefield.

Elder Feng Buming from Divine Desolation Eternal Youth City, who came with Ku Cangsheng, was seething with anger.

His face as dark as the bottom of a pot, he glared at the opposite Elder Han: "What does the Formless Divine Sect mean by this? Our Sect Master has come to visit, yet you leave us hanging on this mountainside, unable to even see a person in charge. Is this your way of treating guests?"

Elder Han’s expression immediately darkened.

If it had been another Elder of the Guest House, they might have been polite and soothing.

But Elder Han did not want to indulge these two. He put down his teacup and replied with a cold laugh, "Elder Feng, I don’t appreciate such comments. Since your arrival, we have provided nothing but fine water and tea, without a trace of disrespect. As for hospitality, Divine Desolation Eternal Youth City practices it one way, and the Formless Divine Sect follows suit."

Ironically, just two months ago, he had joined Yan Guilai on a visit to Divine Desolation Eternal Youth City to meet with this Lord Ku.

The reason was that the Formless Divine Sect had several disciples who had discovered a vein of Xuanqing stone in Yun State but were attacked and robbed by people from Divine Desolation Eternal Youth City. Although they eventually got justice and chopped a few hands off the offenders, the mine business was thwarted due to partiality by the court.

Aox Guo and Fang Zheng took him, the Guest House Elder, to argue the matter, but Ku Cangsheng avoided seeing them for two days straight, and his subordinates kept deferring responsibility, claiming they were not decision-makers, leading to Aox Guo throwing a fit on the spot.

They forced Ku Cangsheng to agree to return the mining vein, but he kept delaying without ever resolving the issue.

Afterward, rumors spread in Jianghu about Aox Guo’s arrogance and bullying, insulting their allies.

Elder Han had been brooding over this incident ever since.

Unexpectedly, merely two months later, Divine Desolation Eternal Youth City’s Ku Cangsheng had to come to them, seeking an audience with their Sect Master.

This truly was the cycle of heavenly justice.

Their "Blood Vengeance Candidate" was indeed must-have! He had managed to rescue the Wood Sword Immortal and even helped him ascend.

It seems his name was Chu Xisheng?

After Qin Muge, to think that yet another hero had risen within their sect.

Elder Han, feeling quite pleased, thought to himself that he should invite Chu Xisheng for a drink of his specially brewed Immortal Brew sometime soon.

Feng Buming’s face changed between shades of pale and green, clearly remembering the incident of a few months ago. Clenching his teeth, he said, "If Li Changsheng does not wish to see the two of us, he could have just said so straightforwardly. Why must he humiliate us like this? Isn’t the Formless Divine Sect afraid that this will chill the hearts of the Northern Sects?"

Elder Han pondered for a moment, then lifted his tea cup: "Indeed, our Sect Master really cannot spare any time. If you two feel that Han has not hosted you properly, then please feel free to leave and return another day."

This was clearly an indication to see them out with tea.

Feng Buming felt an ache in his heart.

He was about to rise and leave when Ku Cangsheng reached out and firmly held his shoulder, preventing him from speaking further.

At this point, the atmosphere in the hall had turned icy and extremely awkward.

Elder Han sat for a moment, feeling mutual loathing with the two men opposite.

Thinking that they had already torn their faces, he no longer cared about maintaining superficial courtesies and stood up, saying, "I have other guests to attend to. Please wait here for a moment; I shall return shortly."

He did not intend to come back for the rest of the day, which was disheartening.

It would be better to retire early from this position of Guest House Elder.

After Elder Han had left, Feng Buming turned to glare angrily at Ku Cangsheng: "Sect Master! The Formless Divine Sect is being excessively insulting. How can you tolerate this?"

"Even if I can’t tolerate it, enduring the humiliation is better than shedding blood,"

Ku Cangsheng withdrew his hand, his expression cold: "I have calculated it; after today, the Formless Divine Sect’s War Hall can mobilize at least three thousand disciples from various places, and their Imperial Hall can call upon another two thousand. It’s rare for the Formless Divine Sect to have so many combat forces available. Would they sit idle? Would you rather be the chicken used to warn the monkeys?"

Feng Buming was left speechless.

He knew Ku Cangsheng was right.

The ascension of the Wood Sword Immortal and his appointment as the Formless Divine Sect’s Supreme Elder by Li Changsheng had drastically changed the political landscape of the North.

This change was reflected in many ways.

The enemies of Formless Divine Mountain would decrease, and the combat forces they could mobilize would increase accordingly.

The Formless Divine Sect would surely take advantage of this surplus of forces to clear out the North before the demonic calamity erupted, eliminating all potential threats lying beside their resting place.

Their Divine Desolation Eternal Youth City, which had been most active in the past and posed the greatest threat to the Formless Divine Sect, was now most likely to be made an example of.
