[10,000 Updates Appeal for Votes!]_3 “First, we have not sold magic artifacts in large quantities.”

“Second, our ancestor Master Dazhi set down rules for Castcloud Hall long ago: the types of magic artifacts produced by Castcloud Hall are limited to just a few.”

“Third, regarding the matter of buying and selling, shouldn’t it be up to the buyers to decide which magic artifact is both good in quality and reasonably priced, and then make a purchase from there?

Have we smashed your artifact refining furnaces, or have we arranged for people to guard the front of your magic artifact shops to prevent others from buying your wares?”

“Isn’t this matter just you being unable to surpass us in artifact refining and thus, gathering a crowd to cause trouble and acting shamelessly?”

The onlookers at the site, each a Heavenly Immortal, nodded to themselves.

What the Wanyun Sect said made a lot of sense.

The Lost Loose Cultivator coldly said:

“Isn’t this exactly your Wanyun Sect’s scheme?

“You first use cheap magic artifacts to drive down their prices, causing all of us in the artifact refining sects to crumble, and then you will freely raise the prices to make a huge profit in Spirit Stones!

“Such tactics won’t escape our notice!

Wanyun Sect’s ploy is known to all!”

The onlookers thought about it and indeed, there was such a possibility.

“Nonsense!”

Another Castcloud Hall deacon couldn’t help standing up and scolding those in front:

“Stop making such unreasonable trouble!

“The total number of places where Castcloud Hall now sells magic artifacts includes 624 towns and 1,052 shops.

Are the locations involved in these shops really that close to the territories of your sects?”

“Among those present here, there are more than ten artifact refining sects that have come from the southwest and southeast of the East Continent!”

“This is truly outrageous!

Do you think the Qi Cultivators of the East Continent are blind?”

The onlookers carefully distinguished and found that although these Hundred Refinement Sects were indeed real small artifact refining sects, half of them came from other regions within the East Continent.

An elder from Wanyun Sect immediately spoke out, calling for judgment: “Fellow Daoists, please judge this matter fairly!”

The Lost Loose Cultivator’s brow furrowed tightly, as though his fire had been quenched.

At this moment, another ‘notable’ from the East Continent took the stage and pointed at the Wanyun Sect’s mountain gate, scolding:

“You even dare to mention this!

“At first, indeed, our sect did not feel that Wanyun Sect could affect our magic artifact sales in the short term, but who knew there were countless opportunists!

“They add just one or two Spirit Stones to the price of a magic artifact, and our shops go half a day without doing any business!

“Does Wanyun Sect intend to swallow the entire artifact refining business of the East Continent?

“If only our sects were affected, we could simply switch to another livelihood, but what about those Loose Cultivators?

How will they survive?

“How many Loose Cultivators have you driven to death, do you know?

“Is this East Continent actually your Wanyun Sect’s East Continent?

Even if we bring this matter to the East Alliance, and even if that Great Enlightened Heavenly Immortal of yours comes out to protect you, we will still fight to the death for our rights!”

The onlookers deeply agreed.

Opportunism is most detested by Qi Cultivators.

—Mainly because they’re irritated that they didn’t find this path themselves.

The Hundred Sects Refiners shouted out again in anger, while members of the Wanyun Sect continually moved forward to debate with them.

However, because Li Mu’s daughter was present, the elders held back a lot.

If a few more old people at the end of their lifespans died here, Wanyun Sect would face immense public opinion pressure.

On the black-cloaked boat.

Qing Su had also already stood beside Li Ping’an, the three of them looking down together.

“So noisy,” Qing Su uttered with dissatisfaction.

“One should say, exceedingly noisy.”

Wen Rou only shook her head and sighed, then turned to look at Li Ping’an who was smiling beside her:

“You seem to be in a good mood, laughing in the midst of this.”

“If these people rush toward Wanyun Sect’s mountain gate later, and if a disciple or member of Wanyun Sect cannot restrain themselves and strikes out, things will truly escalate.”

Li Ping’an said, “Master, Auntie, look at the quarrel below.

It seems like it’s one round after another.”

Qing Su’s mouth curled upwards: “Indeed, it’s quite interesting.”

“Ah!”

Wen Rou raised her hand to her forehead, truly defeated by this master-disciple pair.

She said:

“This is a very dangerous situation.”

“Lucky for us, Li Mu’s daughter appeared to break the impasse.

Otherwise, those old people bribed by Forge-Heaven Gate might have all died of anger right here, causing Wanyun Sect to be cursed by the Qi Cultivators of East Continent.”

“You are known for your quick wits, so why not come up with a plan…

instead of just watching the show here.”

Qing Su said, “My disciple does not really like to scold people.”

Li Ping’an, however, laughed and said, “Auntie Wen Rou, how about we make a bet?”

Wen Rou looked puzzled: “What bet?”

“Today’s matter, I don’t need to get involved; Wanyun Sect will be able to resolve the issue on their own.”

Li Ping’an stated seriously:

“If it turns out this way, Auntie Wen Rou, you must agree to one thing for me.

If not, I will provide Brother Ye with an additional opportunity.”

Wen Rou, the Heavenly Immortal, smiled and nodded: “Then I must pay close attention to see where your confidence comes from.”

“Auntie, please watch.”

Li Ping’an gestured toward the members of Wanyun Sect below, saying:

“My father will probably take the stage in a moment.”

“Oh?”

Wen Rou, the Heavenly Immortal, looked closely at those below but could not find Li Dazhi.

Qing Su transmitted a message asking, “Shall I go remind Ancestor Dazhi, so you don’t lose face in front of Sister Wen Rou?”

Li Ping’an winked at his master.

Didn’t the master notice that he was greatly hyping up his own father?

Hopefully, the master hadn’t misunderstood anything.

Just then, the sound of a bell rang out from below, suppressing the noise of the cultivators’ arguments.

An inner-sect elder from Wanyun Sect stepped forward with clasped hands, his tone now softened and smiling, he spoke loudly:

“Fellow Daoists!”

“Since the founding of Wanyun Sect nearly seventy thousand years ago, our founding ancestors have always taught, and successive Sect Leaders have earnestly reminded, that we must suppress the strong and support the weak, provide relief in times of distress.

Wanyun Sect’s reputation among outsiders, our fellow Daoists should certainly have heard it.”

“Now, fellow Daoists have come to our mountain gate demanding justice.”
