The two remaining men from the Sunlight Sect exchanged knowing glances, their expressions filled with reproach as they turned their gaze toward the old man. It was a silent admonishment that spoke volumes. "Really?" they seemed to say. "After enduring this grueling ordeal, now, at the very end, you choose to utter words that only exacerbate our predicament." The sentiment wasn't inherently egregious, but it showcased a certain recklessness. One could display such sentiments to a wide audience, but…

Cha Eun Xiao found herself in a rather precarious situation. The mention of Master Bai had thrown her off balance, and she feared that uttering even a single impulsive word might lead to dire consequences. She contemplated her predicament, recognizing that her current state had stripped her of all dignity. Desperation gnawed at her, leading her to consider the unthinkable – should she kneel before Master Bai? Wan-Er, observing Cha Eun Xiao's plight, was eventually swayed by her resolve. She marveled…

Nonetheless... Events took an unforeseen turn, catching everyone off guard. Unbeknownst to the onlookers, Wan-Er was far from finished. Even after the Sunlight Sect had demonstrated their respect by raising their bid to 500 million, Wan-Er spoke with unwavering determination, her voice ringing clear through the room. "You seem genuinely intent on acquiring this dan bead. You added 200 million, so now we will set the bid at one billion! What will your response be? Surely, you won't simply concede,…

The salesroom plunged into an oppressive silence once more, the weight of anticipation and tension hanging thick in the air. The Sunlight Sect representative who had initially bid now wore an expression of profound embarrassment. The House of the Chaotic Storm had chosen not to mince words; their threat was overt, a direct challenge to the Sunlight Sect's authority. "You attempted to exert your dominance with the name 'Sunlight Sect,' and now I shall use the 'House of the Chaotic Storm' against you!"…

Wan-Er responded with a nod and said, "Indeed, that is true. Individuals possessing such capability are always formidable figures, whether they lean towards malevolence or nobility. Cha Eun Xiao must be a formidable man. His unwavering composure indicates that he is likely to achieve great feats." Master Bai nodded contemplatively and remarked, "I sense an unyielding hostility in him, one that is unlikely to be resolved." Wan-Er smiled and replied, "It is only natural. He should harbor such enmity.…

Cha Eun Xiao felt taken aback and somewhat surprised by the unexpected query. The three princes were powerful contenders in the struggle for the throne. They had no personal ties to Feng Zhiling at all. Their assumption that Feng Zhiling was a close friend of the Kingdom of Chen, based solely on his generous donation, led them to believe he would be equally friendly to the kingdom's future ruler. Hence, they eagerly sought to align themselves with him, unconcerned about the ongoing war and the fate of…

"Feng Monarch, may I inquire about the purpose of your visit?" Lan Langlang approached the conversation with extreme caution, a habit he had recently acquired due to his prominent status as one of the 'three lords in town.' "Well, Lord Lan, I've come to seek your assistance," Cha Eun Xiao responded in a composed manner. "There's something I'd like you to deliver to General Lan." Lan Langlang inquired, "May I ask what it is?" Cha Eun Xiao turned his hand, revealing three jade bottles, each…

"But this collaboration, as Master Bai solemnly asserts, is solely about my assistance to Ling-Bao Hall during its crisis with the two great sects. That is the extent of it," Master Bai states in a composed manner. "It does not encompass any additional matters. By the time you emerge from this predicament, I will have discharged my obligations." Cha Eun Xiao responds with determination, "Certainly. That is all I seek. I am not so malevolent as to manipulate others using their needs. We each have our own…

Master Bai fixed his gaze on Cha Eun Xiao. "Given your knowledge about the Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan, I assume you are aware of the identity of that great man." Cha Eun Xiao nodded thoughtfully. "Indeed. I possess comprehensive knowledge about this tale, including the background of the great man. His era marked a pivotal moment in the history of dan-making—a moment incomparable to any other." "It took him three years of relentless dedication, combined with the collective efforts of ninety thousand…

Cha Eun Xiao directed a steady gaze at Master Bai, enunciating each word with deliberation. "Regarding your present predicament, it was not a condition you bore from birth, yet it remains an affliction meted out as divine retribution. It stands as the consequences of your actions contravening the will of the heavens—an inevitable outcome. Undoubtedly, you are a formidable cultivator, but you have not transcended to the highest echelons, rendering you powerless against the celestial forces."…
