Chapter 104: Canglan City! Canglan City Conference! (3)

“Do you really think that our Sky Art Sect doesn’t dare to attack!”
The leader was a young man at Level 9 of the Qi Refinement Stage. Behind him were several cultivators at Level 5 or 6 of the Qi Refinement Stage.
They were all wearing the clothes of outer sect disciples of the Sky Art Sect.
Although they were only outer sect disciples, they were working for a Foundation Establishment Realm elder in the sect, so they naturally had the confidence.
“Lord, this place is really far from the Ten Thousand Flower City. It will take time for the news to reach the main family and back…”
“Besides, we don’t have the right to force the Family Head to hand her over…”
“We’re doing things honestly in the Xiao Family. We really don’t mean to protect the enemy your Sky Art Sect wants…”
The head butler, Gu Chen, said with a bitter smile.
He was only in charge of the management of the Ye Family in Canglan City and was in charge of recruiting concubines for the Family Head. He really could not care about anything else.
However, there was another layer of meaning in his words, which was that they had the backing of the Xiao Family. After all, they had paid protection fees for so many years. This was also the Xiao Family’s territory.
If the people from the Sky Art Sect wanted to attack here, the Xiao Family would definitely not agree.
‘Indeed.’
When the disciples of the Sky Art Sect heard the name “Xiao Family Clan”, fear flashed in their eyes.
After all, they were only outer sect disciples of the Sky Art Sect.
If the elders above them came, the Xiao Family would still give them face.
However, if the few of them dared to make a move in the Xiao Family, it would be quite troublesome… “Hmph!”
“I’ll give you three more days!”
“If you still don’t hand over that woman, even if you have the protection of the Xiao Family, don’t even think about developing steadily in Canglan City!”
The young man in the lead threatened fiercely.
“Sir, don’t worry. We’ve already sent someone to rush him.” “Once there’s a reply, I’ll definitely inform you immediately!”
Gu Chen hurriedly smiled apologetically.
However, he felt helpless. He was just a mortal and could not say anything.
The Ye Family had only found a dozen guards at Level 3 or 4 of the Qi Refinement Stage here. It was fine to protect the Ye Family, but it was impossible for them to resist the Sky Art Sect.
The only hope was to wait for the reply from the Ten Thousand Flower City Lord’s family.
However, Canglan City was really too far from Ten Thousand Flower City. It would take half a month for the information to be transmitted back and forth.
However, after so long, there was still no news from the main family. They even felt that something had happened to the messenger on the way.
“Hmph! At least you know your place!”
The young man in the lead snorted and sneered.
“But… we came all the way here. You can’t expect us to go back empty-handed…”
As soon as the young man finished speaking, he looked coldly at the few people in front of him with a dense threat in his eyes.
When the other Qi Refinement Stage cultivators behind the young man heard this, their eyes revealed greed.
In reality, chasing after that female cultivator was not a big deal. It was just a mission issued by their sect’s elders.
After they accepted the mission, they immediately discovered that the woman had been taken away by the Ye Family.
They also discovered that the Ye Family was an external force that specialized in selling medicinal pills. Just the monthly profits of the Thousand Leaves Pharmacy were terrifyingly high.
Although their background was not weak, that was in the distant Ten Thousand Flower City. It was impossible for them to interfere here.
In Canglan City, the other party was only backed by the Xiao Family.
At first, they were actually a little afraid. If the Xiao Family interfered, their mission would definitely fail.
However, after probing again and again, they realized that the Ye Family had not told the Xiao Family about this at all!
Thus, they used this matter to extort him for the first time.
The process went smoothly.
In order to stall for time, the Ye Family directly gave him 500 low-grade spirit stones!!
This was several times more than the benefits they would obtain from completing the capture mission!
With the first time, there was a second time, a third time…
This was their fourth extortion.
Although they had never said how many low-grade spirit stones they wanted, the Ye Family was very proactive and gave more each time.
If nothing went wrong, they should be able to obtain at least 2,000 low-grade spirit stones this time!
Even if more than half of it was taken by their boss, everyone would be able to obtain a lot of benefits.
“Hehe, it’s what I should do…”
Gu Chen chuckled and took out a bag of spirit stones from his storage ring with a pained expression, preparing to spend money to avoid disaster.
He had no choice.
If the Xiao Family stepped in, the other party would definitely offer a higher price.
However, these few fellows could be sent away with a few thousand spirit stones, which was not really a great loss.
He only hoped that the main family would reply quickly.
After all, these few fellows seemed to be more and more diligent.
Spirit stones were not a problem.
If it was really as the other party had said, and that Foundation Establishment Realm big shot from the Sky Art Sect had personally come to ask for him, it would be a fatal blow to the Ye Family.
The outer sect disciples of the Sky Art Sect were stunned when they saw the small package Gu Chen took out.
However, they still forcefully suppressed the greed and surprise in their hearts. However, just as Gu Chen was about to deliver the package to the young men… Suddenly, a huge hand descended from the sky and grabbed the outer sect disciples of the Sky Art Sect.
Then.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Blood splattered everyvvhere.
A few disciples of the Sky Art Sect were crushed by the powerful force. Their flesh was also blasted into powder by the terrifying True Essence. Not even ashes were left.
