Chapter 293

In any case, they absolutely could not be suppressed by the Blacksmith Valley.

The Array Sect, Blacksmith Valley, Pill Pavilion, and Talisman Gate—how should one put it, these four major sects have always had quite a few grievances and grudges.

They are all sects with relatively special natures, and because of the identities of their array masters, refiners, alchemists, and talisman masters, they are highly respected by cultivators and hold lofty status.

Although their strength might not necessarily be the strongest, their popularity is extremely high.

As the saying goes, peers are enemies, so these four major sects basically belong to a situation where no one is convinced by the other.

Seeing that they were about to be suppressed by the Blacksmith Valley, how could the Array Sect Great Elder be willing to accept it?

"Sect Master Qi, may I have a word with you in private?"

He looked at Facing Qi Xiong with a smile. Upon hearing this, Facing Qi Xiong frowned slightly. What time is it, and you still want to talk in private?

But seeing the Great Elder's confident look, Facing Qi Xiong finally went with him to a secluded place.

"Speak, what is it?"

"Sect Master Qi, this incident was indeed our Array Sect's lack of etiquette first, but the Blacksmith Valley is also at fault, so..."

Before the Great Elder could finish, Facing Qi Xiong understood his meaning and interrupted directly.

"This seat will judge this matter myself; the Great Elder does not need to worry."

Facing Qi Xiong thought he understood, but did he really? At least in the Great Elder's view, he didn't. Wasn't this clearly showing favoritism toward the Blacksmith Valley?

Fine, then this old man has no choice but to use his trump card.

Taking a slip of paper from his spatial ring, he respectfully handed it to Facing Qi Xiong. Facing Qi Xiong was confused; why are you giving me a piece of paper?

"What is the meaning of this?"

"Sect Master Qi will know at a glance."

It was inexplicable, but Facing Qi Xiong still took the paper. However, upon opening it, he instantly felt terrible.

"Today, Until Hong Zun, Peak Master of the Dao Yi Sect's Divine Sword Peak, and Qingshi jointly owe the Array Sect ten million top-grade spirit stones."

The content was very simple, but it made Facing Qi Xiong's mouth twitch. Seeing this, the Great Elder on the side said cautiously.

"Sect Master Qi, look, this is the IOU that Peak Master Until Hong Zun gave to our Array Sect. However, our Array Sect and the Dao Yi Sect have always had a deep relationship, as close as brothers, a bond of brotherhood. This ten million top-grade spirit stones is not urgent..."

"Until Hong Zun, it's you again, you old scoundrel! Do you really think I, your Senior Brother, have no way to deal with you?"

He hadn't listened to what the Great Elder was saying at all; at this moment, Facing Qi Xiong had already been angered to the point of confusion.

These two old scoundrels, not only did they disappear inexplicably, but they also saddled him with a debt of ten million. Fine, fine, truly my good Junior Brothers!

Facing Qi Xiong's body trembled with anger. Just then, Wang Tieshu's voice came from behind. This woman had secretly followed them without anyone knowing, so she had heard the conversation between the two clearly.

"A mere ten million top-grade spirit stones, I will pay it back for Hong Ge."

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder naturally refused, sneering.

"You? You can't. This is what Peak Master Until Hong Zun owes us; every debt has its debtor."

Just kidding, if I let you pay it back, then what is there for my Array Sect to say? But Wang Tieshu was clearly not so easily dismissed, and she also laughed coldly.

"Hong Ge and I are Dao companions; what's wrong with me paying back the debt he owes?"
