Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 99 Tit for tat
Lu Yuan's face flushed slightly. Lin Zixiang's last sentence was obviously directed at him. Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, he had to do as he was told. Soon, various magic tools and talismans were distributed to several people.

"Follow me." Lin Zixiang chose the sect's only top-grade magic weapon and strode out, with several people following him.

The group rode on two flying magic vehicles and soon arrived at Shizhai Village. From a distance, they saw the Yuyuan Sect's group in the village. The villagers in the village stood in front of them in rows like lambs, with their heads bowed.

Since migrating to Laogufeng, Shizhai Village has built wooden houses with the help of Hunyuan Sect.

"Brother Lin, there are quite a lot of people on the other side, it looks like there are more than a dozen of them. We should be cautious and try not to have a head-on conflict with them." Xu Ning stood behind Lin Zixiang and said in a low voice.

Now there are only five people left in the Hunyuan Sect. Zhong Yang was injured and recuperating in the mansion, so there are only four people coming out to meet the enemy, namely Lin Zixiang, Lu Yuan, Xu Ning and Shen Fan.

George Lam didn't expect that the other side had so many people, but since they were already here, he naturally couldn't retreat.

The Yuyuan Sect also discovered a few people and gathered together, ready for battle as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

The two sides gradually approached. Lin Zixiang leaped from his flying magical instrument and walked towards the Yuyuan Sect. He stopped about 20 or 30 meters away, scanned the group, and then fixed his gaze on Peng Yu, the leader. He asked in a deep voice, "I am Lin Zixiang, an elder of the Hunyuan Sect. May I know your name? Our sect and yours have no enmity in the past, nor do we have any grudges today. Why are you invading our territory?"

Peng Yu was relieved to see that there were only four cultivators coming. He was actually a little nervous as he was here to cause trouble on Wang Xuan's orders. Although the Hunyuan Sect was weak, they probably wouldn't dare to have a head-on conflict with the Yuyuan Sect. But as the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry.

After all, his life was his own. If he made such a fuss and caused trouble in front of the other sect, it would be dangerous if he mishandled the situation and a fight broke out. Moreover, he had previously taught a lesson to the Hunyuan Sect disciples, and there was already a grudge between the two sides. To be prepared for any eventuality, he recruited a dozen helpers from the sect.

There are only a dozen people in the Hunyuan Sect. If a fight really breaks out, they are not afraid of the other side.

"My name is Peng Yu, and I'm here to look for my beloved concubine. She was abducted by your majesty a few months ago. Please call her out."

"Peng Yu." Seeing the person who injured Zhong Yang was right in front of him, Lin Zixiang was furious and quickly took out the top-grade magic weapon from the storage bag. It was a golden demon-subduing pestle with many patterns engraved on the surface and a faint golden light flowing around it.

When everyone in the Yuyuan Sect saw him suddenly take out this magic weapon, although they could not tell at a glance that it was a top-grade magic weapon, they knew it was extraordinary when they saw the light flowing from it. Their expressions changed, and they all took out the magic weapons on their bodies and held them in their hands.

Everyone came prepared, some wore swords at their waists, some carried shields or held tridents.

Storage bags are valuable items and most people cannot afford them, so they carry them with them. Those who cannot even take out a magic weapon will take out a talisman from their sleeves and hold it in their hands.

The atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became tense. Lin Zixiang and Peng Yu stared at each other, and a big fight seemed to be about to break out.

"Senior Brother Lin, calm down. They have more people and we are no match for them." Xu Ning also took out a magic weapon, stood behind Lin Zixiang on the left, and said in a low voice.

Although Lin Zixiang was furious, he hadn't lost his mind. He knew he was no match for the other party. He glared at Peng Yu and said, "Mr. Peng, don't involve others. You've taken advantage of the faction's lack of support. Do you dare to fight me single-handedly? Let's see who wins."

Peng Yu naturally wouldn't agree, but in front of so many people, especially so many fellow disciples from the sect, it was difficult for him to directly admit that he didn't dare. When he was thinking about how to answer decently, Lin Zixiang spoke again in a stern voice.

"You dare to launch a sneak attack, bully the weak with your numbers, injure our disciples, and bring people to cause trouble in front of our sect. What? You don't even have the courage to compete with me. If you dare, let everyone else step back. If you don't dare, get out of here."

Peng Yu felt everyone's eyes on him, his face flushed instantly, and he stiffened his neck and said, "We don't like to show off our bravery. I'm here today to find my beloved concubine Feng Yan. You've been hiding her, so hand her over quickly. If you want a fight, there will be plenty of opportunities later."

Just as he finished speaking, a flying magic weapon came rapidly from a distance, and both sides turned their heads to look.

"Brother Zhong is back." Xu Ning showed joy when he saw the person coming with the magic weapon.

He was afraid that George Lam would get into a fight with the other party, and was delighted to see Zhong Wenyuan arrive in time. Although he had secretly said a lot of bad things to Shen Fan about Zhong Wenyuan's unfairness, he also knew that compared to George Lam, Zhong Wenyuan was more mature and had rich experience in handling government affairs.

With him around, there will definitely be no fight with the people of Yuyuan Sect because of momentary anger.

When the people of Yuyuan Sect saw that the visitor was only a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage, they did not show too much nervousness, but just stared at the other party closely.

Zhong Wenyuan jumped down from the flying magic weapon and came to Lin Zixiang's side. He glanced at everyone in the Yuyuan Sect and asked in a low voice: "Junior Brother Lin, what's going on?"

"The Yuyuan Sect's people are here to cause trouble, and the leader is Peng Yu." "Fellow Daoist Peng, I'm Zhong Wenyuan, an elder of the Hunyuan Sect. I just met with your Sect's Headmaster Wang a few days ago. Daoist, you've brought so many people to our sect's mountain gate to cause trouble. Does your Sect's Headmaster Wang know about this? What exactly are your sect's intentions?"

"This isn't the main gate of the Hunyuan Sect. Who says we can't come here? If you don't hand over my concubine, I'll never let you go. The two-week deadline is almost up. If you still don't hand her over, I'll kill everyone in this village first, and then settle the score with you. Fellow apprentice brothers, let's go."

Peng Yu had just lost face, and seeing that Hunyuan Sect had reinforcements, he was afraid that if he continued to stay here, it would cause a fight and he would suffer losses, so he took the opportunity to back down.

Anyway, his goal has been achieved. He came here just to put pressure on Hunyuan Sect, not to fight them to the death.

Seeing the people from Yuyuan Sect retreat, Xu Ning and Lu Yuan both breathed a sigh of relief, but Lin Zixiang was the only one who was still glaring at them with a fierce look.

On the other side, the people of Shizhai Village cheered with joy. The old patriarch came over, trembling slightly, knelt down and kowtowed to the crowd, saying, "I beg you, Immortal Master, to save the villagers, young and old."

"Don't worry, old sir. We won't let them do whatever they want. You stay here and we will come forward to solve any problems." Zhong Wenyuan persuaded them and left Shen Fan here to reassure them. The group returned to the mountain gate.

Lin Zixiang asked, "Brother Zhong, why didn't the headmaster come back? How did your talk go?"

Zhong Wenyuan then recounted the entire story of the Yuyuan Sect. "The headmaster went to Bianxia City to seek external assistance, hoping to persuade the Luoyun Sect, the Kong Family, or the Beast Taming Sect to intervene. Because I had an agreement with Junior Brother Zhang Yi, I came back to report safety. I just returned from the Nanyuan Valley Market, and I didn't expect them to come to our door and cause trouble."

Lin Zixiang frowned slightly: "If Luoyun Sect, Kong Family, and Yushou Sect are unwilling to get involved in this matter, do we really have to cooperate with Yuyuan Sect?"

Zhong Wenyuan sighed: "We'll see when the time comes!"

…………

At night, at the Luoyun Sect's mountain gate, in a simple, elegant and fragrant room, Xiao Ling walked in from outside and bowed to Wen Yiren who was sitting inside.

"Why are you looking for me now?"

"Auntie, Xu Wen from Mingyue Pavilion came today and wanted to see you for something, but I turned her away."

"It's her! What's wrong with her?"

"The Mingyue Pavilion she manages is collaborating with the Hunyuan Sect's Yuxiangdan. Unexpectedly, the Yuyuan Sect intervened and forced the Hunyuan Sect to cooperate with them. The Hunyuan Sect doesn't want to be threatened by them, so their headmaster Song Xian and Xu Wen came to see us together, hoping that we could step in to resolve this feud."

"How did the Hunyuan Sect and the Mingyue Sect get involved?"

Xiao Ling then recounted the whole story: "As far as I know, the Jade Fragrance Pill has been very popular in the market in recent months. Many people in Bianxi City are discussing this matter. It must be selling well, otherwise the Yuyuan Sect wouldn't be targeting them."

"Xu Wen's words imply that she's willing to give up her share of the Jade Fragrance Pill as long as we're willing to intervene. The Hunyuan Sect also seems very sincere."

"I personally think that Jade Fragrance Pills is an industry with great potential. How long has the Hunyuan Sect been here? They've been able to make this product famous in Bianxi City in just a few months, which shows that they have some ability."

"I heard that in order to sell the Jade Fragrance Pill, the Hunyuan Sect has been heavily advertising it in many of the cultivator gathering places in the city. Do you remember when Feng Yan, a disciple of the Hunyuan Sect, brought the Jade Fragrance Pill to the last birthday banquet? She also wanted to use this opportunity to publicize the magical effects of the Jade Fragrance Pill."

“This shows that they are still talented.”

"Most importantly, the profits from the Jade Fragrance Pill can be directly delivered to you without going through the sect's account. Although the current profits from the Jade Fragrance Pill are not high, it is in a period of growth. If it develops well in the future, it will also be a considerable profit."

"Besides, this isn't a big deal. We can just talk it out. With just a word from you, the Yuyuan Sect wouldn't dare to go against your wishes for such a small matter."

Wen Yiren was silent for a moment: "In that case, you go and do it! Don't make it public."
