段擎宇 intended to let Li Guanyi leave, but because Li Guanyi was overly cooperative with Mu Taihong, combined with regaining and then losing the Twenty-Four Bright Pearls, the impact was significant, so he had to bring everyone back.
Mu Taihong’s reason was that the matter was of great importance, so even outsiders who knew the news had to be taken away, resulting in the shopkeeper who was moving wine and several other drinkers also being taken to the Southwest Prince Mansion.
The other guests looked ashen.
The old shopkeeper was still thinking about his pot of small square tofu.
Li Guanyi glanced at the anxious face of Mu Taihong with a playful expression.
Sothing was amiss.
Having spent a long ti with Mr. Wen He, Li Guanyi quickly noticed there was an issue.
Compared to Mr. Wen He, the ans were truly too immature.
It should be the people Mr. Wen He worried about, who, over the past decade, were allied with Chen Dingye and Chen Country, and were probably unwilling to form an alliance, so they sched to lower Duan Qingyu’s reputation.
And the prerequisite for chiefs and city lords from the Southwest to agree to et with Li Guanyi was Miss handing over the Twenty-Four Bright Pearls. Without the pearls, there would naturally be disputes.
It seed as if Li Guanyi’s gaze was noticed, Mu Taihong turned to look at this wandering trader from the Central Plains, his expression cold, without a trace of anxiety, only a faint hint of murderous intent.
Li Guanyi smiled slightly, unconcerned.
Approaching the Southwest Prince Mansion, Li Guanyi could feel a surge of Qi Fortune converging into the Nine Cauldrons. Although it was just the emanated Divine Charm Qi Fortune, the Nine Provinces Cauldron had already borne their seal.
The absorption was extraordinarily smooth.
The third ninth portion of the Nine Provinces Cauldron had begun to light up gradually.
Li Guanyi had not expected it to be so smooth.
This southwestern region, spanning thousands of miles, was full of mountains, waters, and empty lakes, with cities and tribes nestled within. If it weren’t a major affair, these tribe leaders and city lords wouldn’t gather together.
Mu Taihong should have prepared for today’s ’event’ for a long ti, spent much effort, and used so thod to gather these large and small city lords in this area to ensure everyone could be gathered when trouble arose.
This saved Li Guanyi a lot of trouble.
Good!
Truly good!
A philanthropist like Hou Zhongyu.
Li Guanyi looked at Mu Taihong with warm approval in his eyes.
Upon reaching the Southwest Prince Mansion, Li Guanyi hadn’t made any move yet, but he already heard the loud commotion inside, centering around the [Twenty-Four Bright Pearls], arguing over who stole them, almost coming to blows.
So sneered, so were anxious, so shirked responsibility, and others suspected everyone.
Li Guanyi listened intently.
It was mostly to clarify that the loss of the pearls had nothing to do with them and to suspect others.
Each holding their own opinion and forming alliances, revealing the disjointed nature of the Southwest, Li Guanyi even heard soone whisper: "The pearls were only returned at that ti to agree to ally with Marquis Qin Wu, and now the pearls are gone."
"Does this alliance still count?"
"The pearls are gone..."
Li Guanyi slightly raised his gaze.
Duan Qingyu had also heard the noise, striding inside with a long howl.
The sound was mighty and overwhelming, a powerful force that suppressed everyone’s voice, containing the intent of tal and weapons, showcasing the peak cultivation of the Eighth Layer Heaven, leaving others dizzy and speechless.
Mu Taihong’s face was tense.
Duan Qingyu crossed the air, landing within the mansion. His Dharma Form manifested as a Xuanhu, roaring with cold eyes. Duan Qingyu stood with hands behind his back, saying, "Noisy, what a disgrace, keep quiet!"
"Hmph, Tower Master Xue promised us these pearls to agree to et Marquis Qin Wu for an alliance. It was agreed upon then, and the loss of the pearls is another matter. How can the alliance be revoked because of this?!"
"There’s no such logic in the world."
"Moreover, if you go back on your word now, haven’t you tarnished the reputation of our Southwest Country, making us a laughingstock for heroes worldwide!"
Everyone was intimidated by the aura of the Southwest Prince’s Dharma Form.
Li Guanyi even praised the heroic spirit.
Li Guanyi and others were also brought inside, only when Li Guanyi stepped in, his steps subtly shifted, the Nine Provinces Tripod roared, and the speed of absorbing Qi Fortune suddenly slowed. Li Guanyi suddenly felt a faint ache between his brows.
Hmm? A trap?
No!
Li Guanyi slowly lifted his gaze, realizing sothing was wrong.
In his eyes, the Southwest-style mansion suddenly changed, a sinister aura enveloped it, and at the mansion’s core seed to be an indescribable tallic aura.
That sinister atmosphere had seed asleep, yet Li Guanyi’s majestic presence of conquering the four directions had entered its realm, akin to two tigers appearing in one area, awakening the dormant Soldier’s Evil Spirit in an instant.
The originally dormant malignant energy gathered.
As if an unparalleled Divine Weapon pressed against Li Guanyi’s brow, stirring his blood, it felt like falling into a boundless battlefield, with Dragon Roars and Tiger Cries echoing in his ears.
Yet at this mont, Li Guanyi was no longer a greenhorn.
He imdiately extricated himself from the intense Military Evil Qi.
This existence seed to sense Li Guanyi’s Soldier’s Evil Spirit from conquest, then influenced by this malignant energy, seeming to transform into an unford Divine Weapon, confronting Li Guanyi head-on.
