Under the watchful eyes of the cultivators, Xuu ngyuan controlled his flying sword and landed beside Lu Changfeng.
Before speaking again, Xuu ngyuan’s gaze moved past the three middle-aged cultivators kneeling on the ground and settled on Lu Changfeng, montarily stunned.
"It’s you, Elder Changfeng!"
Recognizing Lu Changfeng at a glance, Xuu ngyuan’s originally serious deanor turned to joy.
He hadn’t expected to encounter Lu Changfeng here.
In his understanding, Lu Changfeng, the Grand Elder of the Cyan Mountain Sect, rarely appeared in Guangde County.
Why has he co to Guangde County today?
Moreover, he hadn’t inford beforehand of his visit; there’s been no proper reception.
"Elder Xuu."
Upon seeing Xuu ngyuan reveal himself, Lu Changfeng turned his head slightly, imdiately offering a greeting.
"Hahaha, I wondered who it was, turns out it’s Elder Changfeng here."
Xuu ngyuan laughed heartily, the faint killing intent he previously displayed now completely restrained.
Lu Changfeng, a familiar face, led Xuu ngyuan’s gaze to the three middle-aged cultivators.
The three middle-aged cultivators looked both shocked and fearful at this mont.
Shock from learning, through Xuu ngyuan, that the person before them was actually an Elder of the Cyan Mountain Sect.
That ans he is indeed an elder of the Cyan Mountain Sect.
Earlier, the other party had clearly introduced himself, claiming to be from the Cyan Mountain Sect.
And fear because the three of them did not realize they had provoked an elder of the Cyan Mountain Sect.
This truly is hitting the face of the Cyan Mountain Sect right on its territory.
"Elder Xuu, you ca at the right ti."
Lu Changfeng had no intention of restraining his Foundation Establishnt aura and pointed to the three kneeling individuals, saying, "You ought to manage the behavior of these young brats carefully."
"Oh?"
Xuu ngyuan exclaid with surprise upon hearing this.
He imdiately inquired about the details.
Lu Changfeng ticulously explained the situation to Xuu ngyuan.
After listening, Xuu ngyuan furrowed his brows deeply, looked at the three middle-aged cultivators again, and his eyes were full of intense anger.
Working in cahoots, coordinating with each other to excessively drive down prices and make sellers suffer losses.
Since the Guangde Market opened for business, Xuu ngyuan had witnessed such tricks before.
At this mont, he was imdiately inclined to punish the three middle-aged cultivators.
"Conducting such actions within my Guangde County, deceiving cultivators and disrupting market order, who gave you the audacity!"
Xuu ngyuan shouted in a stern voice.
Around them, the cultivators who were observing now understood the situation and also showed anger.
A set of Tier One Middle-Grade Arrays valued at two hundred spirit stones had been trapped by the three middle-aged cultivators, marked down to ninety spirit stones for sale, reducing over half the price in one go.
Such a reasonable price of two hundred spirit stones was surprisingly treated like this.
"These three are new faces; it’s my first ti seeing them since the market started operating."
"Often it’s these new faces who are hardest to figure out, making it easy for them to trap us fellow cultivators."
"Indeed, thinking of purchasing a Tier One Middle-Grade Array for ninety spirit stones, what are they thinking, truly assuming such arrays can be casually crafted?"
"Even targeting an elder of the Cyan Mountain Sect, isn’t this seeking their own demise?"
"Serves them right!"
"Needs rectification!"
"Finally found these three scoundrels, last month they used the sa ploy to swindle over a hundred spirit stones from , making sell a refining material at a low price."
"I was indeed foolish then!"
For a ti, surrounding cultivators started discussing and pointed fingers at the three middle-aged cultivators.
These swindlers, if not properly rectified today, who knows how many more people they’ll harm in the future.
Most who co to trade at the Guangde Market are loose cultivators.
Loose cultivators inherently lack cultivation resources, and frequently risk their lives hunting demon beasts to obtain resources for personal use, more often selling them to earn spirit stones.
Slaying demon beasts, rushing for cultivation resources is already extrely challenging.
Bringing resources, magical artifacts, demon beast corpses, etc., to sell at the market and still falling prey to deceitful sches, turning it into a losing business, is intolerable to anyone.
At this mont, the three middle-aged cultivators beca the target of curses from the crowd.
"Lord Xuu, such scum must be thoroughly punished!"
"Indeed, indeed! Such scum cannot be allowed to remain in Guangde Market!"
Two elder loose cultivators spoke.
Among them, the white-robed cultivator previously swindled by the three middle-aged cultivators, now full of rage, pleaded with Xuu ngyuan, "Elder Xuu, please make a decision for this junior!"
"Everyone, stay calm."
Xuu ngyuan raised his hand to signal everyone to quiet down and then glanced at the white-robed cultivator.
"If the matter is true, this old man will naturally make a decision for you."
On the ground, the three middle-aged cultivators continued kneeling, now utterly terrified.
Under the powerful Foundation Establishnt pressure, they found themselves unable to do anything, unable even to plead.
Now that their sche had been exposed, they realized there was no way to clear their na.
Moreover, they’ve been identified; there’s enough evidence now.
In the following ti, Xuu ngyuan requested Lu Changfeng to restrain so of his Foundation Establishnt pressure, then interrogated the three middle-aged cultivators on the spot.
Faced with Xuu ngyuan’s interrogation, the three middle-aged cultivators knew that if they didn’t truthfully admit misdeeds, they might be killed on the spot.
Realizing this, they weren’t foolish, trembling with guilt and fear, they imdiately confessed.
"Friend, earlier it was wrong of us three, we shortchanged you in that transaction; we’ll compensate fully with interest."
The middle-aged cultivator said this as he took out a storage bag, tossing it to the white-robed cultivator, full of remorse, "Inside are over two hundred spirit stones, our apology! Take them all, please spare us."
The white-robed cultivator opened the storage bag and counted; there were indeed two hundred and thirty spirit stones, enough to cover the losses from being swindled.
Having resolved the matter with the white-robed cultivator, attention shifted to Lu Changfeng.
Considering Lu Changfeng had unravelled their sche and hadn’t fallen prey, Xuu ngyuan discussed with Lu Changfeng how to resolve the situation.
Several surrounding cultivators also suggested either beating up the three middle-aged cultivators and expelling them from Guangde County, forbidding them from setting foot again.
Or suggested having the three middle-aged cultivators stay and perform hard labor as their penance.
Even, so suggested executing such scum.
Hearing the proposals, Xuu ngyuan and Lu Changfeng pondered them carefully.
Ultimately, they decided to keep the three middle-aged cultivators in Guangde Market to make ands, specifically to observe other cultivators and prevent deceitful acts.
At least it’s resource utilization.
