Chapter 728

He still had no sense of tact and continued to strike at Yi Tianxing, who had just saved Sikong Yuchi Zhen.

Good lord!

The man really is a hall master of the Qinglong Society!

That's a hall master!

There are only twelve of them in the entire Qinglong Society!

His status speaks for itself!

Someone like that, and you try to threaten him with Dayuan?

That's not a threat, that's a gift!

Bo Erhu couldn't complain, and seeing that not a single person present dared to chime in, he could only brace himself and say,

"November Hall Master, this really is a misunderstanding, I…"

"A misunderstanding?"

Yi Tianxing gave a cold laugh, squinting sidelong at Bo Erhu as he asked,

"If I had failed to receive that strike of his just now, I'd probably be lying at your feet, wouldn't I?

If that had happened, would you still call it a misunderstanding?"

This is truly a killing strike to the heart!

The people lying at Bo Erhu's feet that Yi Tianxing mentioned were naturally Bo Erhu's personal guards.

Seeing his personal guards twitching ceaselessly at his feet, clearly breathing in less and out more, Bo Erhu was even more furious,

"All of this was said by Old Ancestor White Camel himself; my Dayuan recognizes none of it!

From today onward, I shall decide for Dayuan and strip White Camel of his status as a retainer!"

In truth, Bo Erhu had no qualifications whatsoever to strip anyone of their retainer status; the only one in Dayuan who could do this was Tie Muzhen, and no one else.

But the situation was wrong now; if this kept going on, it would truly give the Qinglong Society a pretext to wage war against Dayuan.

By then, even if Tie Muzhen gave the order to strip Old Ancestor White Camel, everything would already be too late.

Even though he was overstepping his authority, Bo Erhu could only do this for now.

Seeing Meng Chixing had a splitting headache at this moment, but upon hearing Bo Erhu's words, he still expressed his support,

"I am Dayuan's Chief Imperial Retainer, and I express my support for General Bo Erhu's decision!"

"I as well…"

Watching Bi Xuan also immediately spoke up in agreement.

Naturally, they too had no qualifications to strip a retainer of their status, but with the three of them acting together now, they could explain everything to Tie Muzhen afterward.

Tie Muzhen most likely wouldn't blame them then.

But for now, Old Ancestor White Camel had indeed lost his qualifications as a Dayuan retainer.

"How can you all do this…"

Old Ancestor White Camel's already deathly pale face turned even paler now.

After his poison art had succeeded, in order to advance further, and for power and status, and because he was afraid of death, he had joined Dayuan and become a retainer.

Who would have thought that today he would be publicly stripped of his retainer title.

Even though he knew these few had no qualifications to do so.

At the same time, he also knew that Tie Muzhen would do the same.

Yet in his heart, an inexplicable sense of bleak sorrow still welled up.

"Do you really think the Qinglong Society is that easy to fool?"

Watching Meng Chixing and the others put on what looked like an act, Yi Tianxing had no intention of letting them off, and merely questioned them coldly.

"November Hall Master, since this White Camel has already been stripped of his Dayuan retainer status, he has nothing to do with Dayuan from now on.

How you wish to deal with him is entirely up to you."

Bo Erhu naturally knew it wasn't that simple, and immediately took matters into his own hands once more, deciding for Tie Muzhen,

"Although he spoke out of turn just now, he did indeed run his mouth and displease November Hall Master.

How about this! I'll decide on behalf of our Great Khan and gift another ten stalks of thousand-year spiritual herbs as an apology. Would that be acceptable?"

Thousand-year spiritual herbs could serve as sect-protecting treasures even for ordinary Xiaozong Sect in the Nine Provinces.

Sending out ten stalks at once was something only top-tier powers like the three great imperial dynasties could manage.

But in outsiders' eyes, the incomparably precious thousand-year spiritual herbs were worth nothing in Yi Tianxing's eyes.

After all, no matter how good thousand-year spiritual herbs were, what were they in the eyes of the Qinglong Society's people?

Not to mention anything else, many of the treasures and pills that appeared on the Heavenly Dao Golden List and Hundred Flowers List could be found in plenty within the Qinglong Society's Pill Hall.

For instance, Beauty-Preserving Pills, Mythic Realm-Breaking Pills, Broken Mirror Restoration Pills, and so on.

Even the legendary Shattered Mirror-Breaking Pill could be found in this Pill Hall.

These precious pills were practically commonplace as far as Yi Tianxing was concerned.

So what were the so-called thousand-year spiritual herbs?

Therefore, he merely watched Bo Erhu quietly, saying nothing.

"Well… then ten stalks of two-thousand-year ones. This junior general is of little consequence and can only do this much."

Seeing Yi Tianxing say nothing, Bo Erhu gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, able only to keep raising the price.

Whew!

Two-thousand-year spiritual herbs were almost on par with the national fortune of the Dayuan Imperial Dynasty.

Even Seeing Meng Chixing and Watching Bi Xuan rarely saw such things.

The two couldn't help exchanging glances, thinking Yi Tianxing should accept now, right?

Yitainxing's gaze did not waver in the slightest; he merely continued to watch Borhu in silence.

"Hall Master Yi, I truly have no greater authority. If you are still not appeased, how about this — you go to the Great Yuan Imperial Court.

I believe my Great Khan will offer a higher price!"

Being able to offer ten stalks of two-thousand-year herbs was indeed Borhu's limit.

He was already thinking that once he returned this time, he would likely be stripped of his post.

Seeing Yitainxing still like this, he could only push the matter off to Tie Muzhen.

"Spirit herbs, to me, are no better than dirt."

At last, Yitainxing spoke a single line.

Yet this one line left Seeing Meng Chixing, Watching Bi Xuan, and the others both angry and helpless.

Good grief!

These spirit herbs you treat as dispensable, we risk life and limb and still might not be able to trade for them.

Sure enough, comparing oneself to others is enough to kill one with frustration.

The gap between great powers, between the Great Yuan and the Qinglong Society, is truly the difference between clouds and mud!

For a moment, the hearts of these Great Yuan experts could not help but stir with a desire to join the Qinglong Society.

"Enough! Your matters will be discussed later. The Qinglong Society will naturally seek proper justice from you for today."

After some thought, Yitainxing truly did not know what would be good to ask of Great Yuan.

His Eleventh Month Hall was dedicated solely to handling assassination orders for the Qinglong Society.

In other words, he was a back-end department, not adept at dealing with people.

Therefore, for this demand, he prepared to have someone else go and negotiate with Great Yuan.

In any case, with such an opening available, he wasn't afraid Great Yuan would dare deny it.

"Good, good, good…"

Borhu breathed a sigh of relief. Although Yitainxing's "later" would clearly bring more trouble,

no matter how troublesome, at least it wouldn't give him a headache anymore.

"Him, and him — these two people, I'll be taking away."

Yitainxing pointed first at Sikong Yuchi Zhen, who had been watching the show, then pointed at the White Camel Old Ancestor, who did not dare to move, and said.

Taking the White Camel Old Ancestor was clearly because the fellow had just spoken wildly; Yitainxing could not let him off lightly.

This much, everyone knew.

On the Great Yuan side, once Borhu and the others had announced the stripping of the White Camel Old Ancestor's position as a retainer, in their hearts the White Camel Old Ancestor was already a dead man.
