“Sect Ancestor, according to our investigations, there have already been twenty-seven small Artifact Refining sects that sent elders or Sect Leaders to rush to the second mountain gate of Forge-Heaven Gate for a meeting…

There are definitely more that we haven’t found out about.”

“The day they make their move probably isn’t far off.”

Li Dazhi nodded, sitting there deep in thought, and with a hand, he stroked his own bald head.

This matter was truly difficult to deal with.

Forge-Heaven Gate was not like Sea Watch Sect; all the Immortals of Sea Watch Sect combined weren’t as crafty as Mo Yunshen, not to mention that Mo Yunshen was merely a Heavenly Immortal from Forge-Heaven Gate.

Inside, who knows how many ‘old schemers’ there could be.”

Li Dazhi said, “You guys sit down; there’s no need to rush, being anxious now is of no use.”

“Sect Ancestor, what should we do next?”

Li Dazhi said, “First, let’s shut down those shops.”

“Shut them down?”

Steward Gao Xu asked softly, “We’re not going to clash with them at all, just directly show weakness?

Wasn’t it the same with Sea Watch Sect in the past…”

“It’s not showing weakness, it’s that we are truly weak.”

Li Dazhi said with a bitter smile:

“When Sea Watch Sect smashed our stores before, it was hiring Loose Cultivators to vandalize and loot, which was nothing but a loss of wisdom and heart.

“Forge-Heaven Gate is different.

They pull together a bunch of small Artifact Refining sects and pin a label on you, ‘squeezing other sects’ living space’, ‘disrupting the Magic Artifact market with low prices’.

If they get even nastier, they could have a few old cultivators commit suicide in front of our shops, with a blood-soaked banner hanging on them, saying something like, ‘Wanyun Sect is making it impossible for us to live’.

How would you deal with that?

“By then, if they smash our stores, it will be Wanyun Sect that has incurred the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people.”

Steward Gao Xu asked softly, “Then next, they change to gather in other market towns.”

“Just keep a close watch on them.

Wherever they go, we shut down the shops there.”

Li Dazhi said sternly:

“In the next two to three months, it’s fine if we close all our magic artifact shops around.

We’ll put up a notice for the public, just say it’s a no-price-increase Magic Artifact upgrade.

“Take out the various magic artifacts we’ve accumulated previously, and each shop will sell five magic artifacts at half price every day to maintain the shop’s popularity.

“What Forge-Heaven Gate wants is for us to give up this deal with the East Alliance, but they are underestimating us by far too much.

“As long as the last delivery goes through smoothly, Forge-Heaven Gate will have lost this round, and losing some Spirit Stones is nothing.”

A few stewards bowed and took their leave to execute the orders.

Li Dazhi took out several Jade Talismans, pondering carefully, and wrote three letters.

“Gao Xu, arrange for someone to make a trip to Tianyuan Gate and Yuan Sect, and personally hand them to their Sect Leaders, then take this Messaging Jade Talisman to Dong’an City and give it to Ping’an.”

“Yes!

I will immediately ask an outer sect elder to deliver the message!”

Li Dazhi nodded and waved his hand, dismissing the stewards.

He sat in the chair, opened the drawer to his right, took out a set of items, and leisurely cut the paper, chose Spiritual Root leaves, rolled himself one, and rubbed it on his thigh.

Li Dazhi just held it in his hand, without lighting it, slightly distracted in front of the desk.

He was contemplating what other tactics Forge-Heaven Gate could still employ.

First, he discarded the possibility of Forge-Heaven Gate causing destruction at Yuan Sect, considering the many immortals stationed there, the presence of Golden Immortals, Golden Immortal warriors, and the fact that Elder Xu Sheng was personally overseeing it.

Next was the issue of funding for the spiritual mines.

Li Dazhi had already taken precautions.

As soon as it was confirmed they would take the East Alliance’s business, he had three sects open their treasuries and go all out to purchase the corresponding spiritual mines.

Now, adequate precious mines had been delivered inside the mountain gate of Yuan Sect.

The batch of magic artifacts was already three-fifths complete—not only had three-fifths of the magic artifacts been produced, but three-fifths had also been secretly delivered to the East Alliance.

How could Forge-Heaven Gate stop that?

‘If this deal is successful, Wanyun Sect will have the momentum for great development.’

‘In the environment of the East Continent, if Wanyun Sect lacks enough East Alliance support, no matter how many Spirit Stones they save, they are just fattening pigs for other big sects and big Demon Cultivators.’

‘If Forge-Heaven Gate wants a contest, then let’s have a proper contest!’

Li Dazhi lit a fire, his eyes gradually becoming resolute.

“What’s Ping’an doing now?

He must also be figuring out how to engage in Magical Combat with Forge-Heaven Gate, right?

That child, his sense of responsibility is just too heavy.”

Li Dazhi muttered to himself, starting to puff away at the smoke, using this to relieve the enormous pressure brought by Forge-Heaven Gate.

Meanwhile, in the underground chamber of Drunken Moon Tower in Dong’an City.

Li Ping’an watched the dancing beauty in front of him, took out his own gourd of wine, and took a swig, his eyes filled with calmness.

To be fair.

Sun Yingying’s true appearance could be described as stunning, and her dance was unparalleled.

The music continued, and so did the dance.
