Chapter 267 - 267 Collect Debts

267 Collect Debts

The same scene happened in the other sects, and they had the same thing in mind. It had an invisible intimidating effect. These people must have had quite a trauma in Changping. The next time they wanted to interfere, they would consider it twice before doing it.

To get Ye Xuan’s help, most of the sects spent a lot of money, all kinds of supreme-grade items, cultivation techniques, or elixirs, and only then were they barely able to convince Ye Xuan.

Now that Ye Xuan had rescued their people, many consciously delivered the rest of the deal to Ye Xuan.

Of course, some were not aware of it, such as the people from the Misty Illusory Manor.

They already had a lot of disputes with Ye Xuan, and they had just put down their status as a practical measure. Now that their people had been saved, they didn’t want to waste many resources and precious materials.

“In my opinion, this Ye Xuan is asking for too much. He must have colluded with the demonic beasts. Otherwise, how could he have saved them so easily? It was just too easy.”

“That’s right. He must be trying to scam us. We can’t give him these resources for nothing. Otherwise, we’ll be fools.”

Furthermore, the Misty Illusory Manor people had also asked those elders and disciples. Other than the flood dragon’s warning, they did not encounter any demonic beasts on their way back, confirming their suspicions.

Ye Xuan and the demonic beast must have reached an unspeakable agreement, but the sects couldn’t do anything because they didn’t have evidence. However, they must not give Ye Xuan these things, so they plan to act dumb and muddle through.

If they didn’t want to give it, Ye Xuan couldn’t force them. In the end, the truth slapped these people in the face.

The disciple suddenly reported that Ye Xuan had come to visit.

The people from the Misty Illusory Manor looked at each other. From the looks of it, Ye Xuan had come to ask for what he deserved personally.

The sect master, Li Tianhao’s gaze turned cold. “So what? There are plenty of ways to make him leave. Getting the things from our Misty Illusory Manor is not easy. Besides, we still have a debt to settle between us.”

Even if he didn’t like Ye Xuan, he had to show enough respect. After all, the two sides hadn’t reached the point of completely turning their backs on each other.

A disciple welcomed Ye Xuan. Li Tianhao had been waiting for a long time.

“May I know the purpose for your visit, Elder Ye?”

Although Li Tianhao’s words were extremely polite, the contempt in his eyes revealed his superior attitude. It was apparent that he did not take Ye Xuan seriously.

Ye Xuan plastered a smile. “Sect Master Li, you’re really forgetful. Have you forgotten the promise between us? Since I’ve already saved your people, shouldn’t you give me what I deserve?”

Li Tianhao probably didn’t expect Ye Xuan to be so direct. He was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said.

“Elder Ye, you must be joking. We have already given what we should give. It’s better not to be too greedy. After all, you have also taken something from our Misty Illusory Manor. Be careful not to end up with nothing.”

If it weren’t for the fact that they had to be wary of the mysterious power behind Ye Xuan and the demonic beasts he was colluding with, the Misty Illusory Manor would have already taken action the moment he stepped in.

It was precisely because of these factors that the Misty Illusory Manor had not completely shed all pretenses of cordiality with Ye Xuan. After all, now was not the time.

Their eyes met, and neither was willing to give in. Sparks of conspiracy flashed in the air. Ye Xuan’s eyes were like an unfathomable pool of water devouring everything.

Ye Xuan said meaningfully, “It seems you don’t want to give it to me, Sect Master Li. I didn’t expect such a big sect like yours would go back on your words. You’re trying to get rid of me after getting my help. I wonder how the outside world would look at your sect if they knew about this.”

The fake smile on Li Tianhao’s face faded, and he squinted his eyes. “Are you threatening me?”

“I don’t dare to. After all, I’m just a nobody. How would I dare to threaten your Misty Illusory Manor? Sect Master Li, you should be clear about what’s more important.”

Ye Xuan’s strange words made Li Tianhao choke. It was like a fish bone was stuck in his throat, and he couldn’t swallow or spit it out.

“Furthermore, I believe that the grand elders of your sect would not want others to know what happened in Changping.”

Ye Xuan’s words caught Li Tianhao’s attention. After all, when he had asked earlier, these grand elders had avoided talking about it. So it was inappropriate for him to get to the bottom of it. Now, it seemed that Ye Xuan knew something else.

Before Li Tianhao could ask, the grand elders who had not spoken earlier could not sit still anymore. “You promised us that you would not tell anyone!”

Seeing their reaction, Li Tianhao was even more curious about what these people had experienced in Changping.

Ye Xuan said righteously, “The Misty Illusory Manor didn’t give me the things you promised me. You were the ones who broke the promise first. How can you blame me for going back against my words?”

“You!”

The few of them were so angry that they couldn’t say anything and couldn’t do anything to Ye Xuan. Every second Ye Xuan stayed here, they felt like a dagger was on their backs, and they couldn’t sit still. They thought of the time when they were mining.

Seeing that Ye Xuan wouldn’t compromise, if words really got out, they wouldn’t be able to keep a foothold in the Jingdu. They would lose all their face and wouldn’t have any prestige in the future.

“Sect master, just agree to his request. After all, we have already made a promise.”

“That’s right, sect master. It’s better to avoid trouble. This time, we’ll take it as we’re spending money to get rid of this disaster.

Li Tianhao looked at the few people who were trying to persuade him. They were all highly respected people in the sect. He could ignore the opinions of others, but not these people. He really didn’t know what kind of weakness Ye Xuan had on them.

Facing these people’s repeated persuasion and Ye Xuan’s indirect questioning, Li Tianhao had to give in. Ye Xuan was not easy to bully, and it was not easy for them to get away with it.
