Chapter 93: A Masterstroke

Fuguang Xianzi appeared and stepped between them. She spoke to Beiyun Yan and Xie Qin.

“I think there might be a misunderstanding. Please calm down, seniors.”

Upon hearing the word “misunderstanding” from Fuguang Xianzi, the smile on Xie Qin’s face gradually faded, replaced by a pressure.

“Misunderstanding?”

“Not everything can be explained by misunderstandings. If I hadn’t arrived in time today, my sect’s disciples would have been bathed in blood at this Wufa Port. Don’t forget the contract your sects signed with us hundreds of years ago. This time, you have crossed the line.”

The next second, Ye Futian’s face darkened. A burst of blood light erupted from his hand. A thread of blood appeared on his palm, and that thread connected to the crowd from Yinhuang Pavilion.

Qiu Yan’s expression changed drastically. He looked at Ye Futian in terror.

“G-great one…” Before he could finish, Ye Futian yanked the blood thread violently.

Pop! Pop! Pop! With several explosions of blood, the bodies of Yinhuang Pavilion’s people burst apart, turning into a rain of blood mist.

Ye Futian’s face was grim. He lowered his head and cupped his hands. In this situation, they had no justification. If a real fight broke out, the higher-ups would only blame him. This time, he had no choice but to accept defeat.

“I have failed to discipline my people. I have caused trouble for your sect. Whatever compensation you require, we will do our best to provide.”

Ye Futian’s voice was low, clearly displaying his unwillingness. But things had come to this, and he had no choice but to accept.

Qin Yangjun… he would remember this person thoroughly.

“Compensation?” Xie Qin smiled slightly and looked at Qin Yangjun.

“Xiao Jun, you have been wronged this time. So, what do you think they should offer as compensation?”

How should they compensate? In fact, Xie Qin’s original intention was only to warn them. She had no real interest in compensation.

Control of the situation…

The corner of Qin Yangjun’s mouth lifted slightly. The situation was indeed developing exactly as he had predicted.

And upon seeing Qin Yangjun’s smile, Yu Lingyue knew. This senior brother of hers seemed to be plotting something again.

Qin Yangjun looked at Ye Futian in the sky and said with a smile: “Sect Leader Ye, there’s no need for this. The fault does not lie with you. How can we force the blame onto you? In my opinion, let’s forget about compensation…”

Hearing this, a surprised look appeared in Ye Futian’s eyes. According to his expectation, Qin Yangjun should have wanted to bleed him dry.

Resources were not important to the Yuqian Sect. What mattered was making them submit. But… what was this about?

Even Beiyun Yan in the sky stroked his chin. This Wufa Port could be said to be the biggest threat to their Wenxin Manor’s border. With such a good opportunity, how could they let it go?

He couldn’t help but glance at Xie Qin below. Xie Qin gave him a faint look.

Beiyun Yan sighed inwardly. Is this all we can achieve… but these ungrateful wretches won’t be grateful for this!

He had dealt with the Shura Sect for many years, and he knew it well. The people under Fuguang Xianzi still had some bottom line, engaging in proper resource exchanges.

Although they occasionally engaged in gray transactions, they were still within acceptable limits.

As for the Shura Sect, they were completely different. If conditions allowed, he knew he would simply annihilate them.

Unfortunately, he had no opportunity. And now, although they had reason to challenge, they had no reason to attack. Attacking now would benefit neither side.

Meanwhile, Fuguang Xianzi turned her head to look at Qin Yangjun. His words were also beyond her expectations.

Before coming, she had figured out the cause and effect. Her thoughts were the same as Ye Futian’s: the matter of Yinhuang Pavilion was merely an excuse for the Yuqian Sect to cause trouble.

But from what was happening now, could she have been mistaken? Or…

A sudden unease rose in her heart. This person before her had schemed so meticulously; how could he let it go so easily?

“The young master is right. But this matter is ultimately our Wufa Port Yuqian Sect’s fault for troubling the young master. As for compensation…”

At that moment, a sharp light flashed in Qin Yangjun’s eyes. Fuguang Xianzi seemed to realize she had misspoken and quickly shut her mouth.

“Ah, no…”

Qin Yangjun had been waiting for those words. He wouldn’t give her a chance to explain. He directly said:

“Ah! Right! Right! Fuguang Xianzi has reminded me. The fault in this matter does not lie with either of you. It is all due to the internal environment of Wufa Port. This is a commercial port between two continents, filled with all kinds of people, of varying quality. Managing it is indeed laborious. Oversights are perfectly normal. As for breaking the contract…”

Qin Yangjun sighed deeply, pretending to be solemn. “The existence of a contract is for the friendly and peaceful exchange of resources between cultivators of the two continents. Breaking the contract benefits neither side. I believe neither party wished for what happened today.”

But in the next second, Qin Yangjun raised his voice.

“So I have thought of a better solution! Since you two find it difficult to manage Wufa Port, why not let us send people to help manage it together? My Yuqian Sect manages the entire Southern Domain, and Wenxin Manor manages the Eastern Domain. In terms of talent management, we have it under control.”

“With our help, the pressure on you two will surely be much less. And such misunderstandings will never happen again in the future.”

Qin Yangjun smiled as he looked at the two in the sky.

Qin Yangjun’s words made Yueyao’s eyes light up. Her senior brother played his hand beautifully. He directly eliminated the threat of Wufa Port.

This removed the threat to Wenxin Manor’s border and also eliminated a hidden danger for the Yuqian Sect. Killing two birds with one stone!

As for Hua Yaoyao, she wasn’t focused on the event itself. Her eyes were fixed entirely on Qin Yangjun, full of stars. Facing two great cultivators in the Tribulation Transcendence realm, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and even maintained control throughout. Senior Brother, he’s so handsome!

As for Yu Lingyue, she thought even deeper than the other two. She recalled what had happened in the Demon Domain earlier, and then considered the present. This senior brother of hers was uprooting threats at the borders. Such a grand vision. Truly worthy of being the senior brother!

The three women watched the spirited Qin Yangjun, their eyes filled with extremely rich emotions: excitement, surprise, admiration, and even affection.

Only Mihua was confused. She had been born not long ago, and although she had inherited memories, she still didn’t understand human intricacies. So… did our side win?! Master is amazing!! Worthy of being my master! Mwah mwah mwah!

Saying this, she pouted and tried to move closer to Qin Yangjun, but he pressed her cheek with a look of disgust, not letting her approach, and whispered:

“Don’t you dare lose it now!!”
