Jun Changxiao chatted with Ai Shangni for a while then returned to the sect, and ordered Li Luoqiu to pay close attention to the Tang Family’s Second Young Master who was about to arrive.
Decided.
He would do business with the Tang Family.
Since this Second Young Master was skilled in commerce, cooperating with him should be quite good.
Of course.
This type of commercial family was definitely proud and arrogant. Without some good items, it would probably be very difficult to move them.
“What should I sell?” Jun Changxiao began considering.
Regarding pills, he could take out Low-Grade Qi Gathering Pills to sell. After all, the required medicinal herbs weren’t many, and large-scale mass production and supply were completely achievable!
“Mid-Grade Healing Pills and Antidote Pills are support items that won’t improve martial prowess—they can also be sold.”
Sect Master Jun wouldn’t rashly sell all types of pills, especially Mid-Grade Qi Gathering Pills, Body Tempering Pills, and Soul Tempering Pills.
“Low-Grade Cold Edge Swords can also work.”
Once large quantities of ore from Beimo Province were transported to the sect and more high-grade weapons were refined, Cold Edge Swords would definitely be obsolete goods—selling them was also appropriate.
Sect Master Jun had sufficient confidence that these weapons refined by the System would definitely gain favor from many warriors once on the market.
Decided.
He planned to use Low-Grade Qi Gathering Pills, Mid-Grade Healing Pills, Antidote Pills, and Low-Grade Cold Edge Swords as cooperation bargaining chips.
Jun Changxiao said: “With the Tang Family’s brand and channels, once these four items open up the market, I’ll be sitting on my heated bed counting money until my hands cramp.”
“Sect Master.”
Li Luoqiu walked in and said: “Just received intelligence. The Tang Family’s Second Young Master is coming from Western Transport Province and is expected to arrive at Tianyu Royal City in two days.”
“Should I go greet him first?” Jun Changxiao stroked his chin.
The System said speechlessly: “This guy is going to make trouble again!”
Indeed.
Jun Changxiao was starting to act cheap again!
Rather than proactively getting to know the Tang Family’s Second Young Master, why not create a beautiful chance encounter?
For example… have disciples pretend to be bandits to attack him, then personally appear at the critical moment, shaping the image of a mighty, chivalrous Ten Thousand Ancient Sect master!
In dire straits, rescued by a benefactor.
Wouldn’t the Tang Family’s Second Young Master hug his thigh in tearful gratitude!
“Snap!”
Jun Changxiao covered his face with a strange laugh: “Hahaha, I’m such a genius!”
“…” The System was speechless.
This wasn’t genius—this was a super cheap bastard!
Actually, you couldn’t entirely blame Jun Changxiao. His doing this was also based on multiple considerations.
What kind of person the Tang Family’s Second Young Master was remained unknown. He could completely use this robbery to test him.
Finding someone to discuss business, using robbery to test them.
Sect Master Jun, you’re really something!
If the poor Tang Family’s Second Young Master knew, he’d definitely say: “I have something to say—don’t know if I should say it or not.”
…
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
On both sides of the official road in Western Transport Province, dozens of warriors fully dressed in black with covered faces flew over, then hid in concealment.
“Second Senior Brother.”
Su Xiaomo transmitted: “Is there a major operation?”
The Sect Master suddenly assembled everyone, had them put on black clothes and cover their faces, then rushed to Western Transport Province, making him think they were doing something big!
Most likely something exciting—an assassination operation!
Li Qingyang said: “I’m not too clear either.”
Li Fei was extremely excited: “I’ve been cultivating constantly lately. It’s time for some actual combat!”
“Listen well.”
Jun Changxiao, hiding in concealment, transmitted to the group: “Several luxurious carriages will pass by soon. Your mission is to pretend to be bandits and stop them.”
As soon as these words came out, Li Qingyang and the others were instantly dumbfounded!
Pretend to be… bandits?
“Sect Master.”
Su Xiaomo said speechlessly: “Are you serious or joking?”
“Serious.”
“…”
Putting on black clothes and covering faces, thinking they were going to carry out an assassination, but instead doing banditry—this was too humiliating!
Sigh.
Since they’d boarded the Sect Master’s pirate ship, they could only become pirates.
…
On the official road in Western Transport Province, warriors or merchants occasionally passed by, but no one discovered the Ten Thousand Ancient Sect disciples.
“Why aren’t they here yet?”
Having waited most of the day without seeing the target appear, Jun Changxiao couldn’t help but complain: “Could the intelligence be wrong? Or did the Tang Second Young Master change routes?”
Just then, within the spiritual sense’s range of dozens of li, several luxurious carriages came galloping.
The horses pulling the carriages had wind spirals under their feet—quite handsome.
These were Thousand Li Wind-Chasing Horses.
Back when going to Nanhuang Province, Xi Jingxuan had specially purchased some, but in the end she didn’t use them—she was carried away flying by Sect Master Jun.
Four galloping carriages had banners hanging with the character “Tang” carved on them.
“They’re here, they’re here.”
Jun Changxiao hurriedly gave orders: “You must stop all four carriages!”
“Yes!”
The disciples received the order.
However, doing robbery for the first time, and having to pretend at that, made them inevitably somewhat inexperienced and nervous.
Clop! Clop! Clop!
Clop! Clop! Clop!
Before long, four luxurious carriages had reached the ambush area.
“It’s the Tang Family’s carriages!”
Travelers on the road saw the large characters carved on the banners, their faces immediately changing dramatically as they subconsciously moved aside.
Though the Tang Family primarily did business, their connections were very broad, and they had hired quite a few experts to stand guard. Their strength was completely on par with first and second-rate sects!
Sect Master Jun valued precisely this point when deciding to do business with the Tang Family, because the items he sold were somewhat impressive—only such great families could handle it.
“Clop clop clop!”
Over ten Thousand Li Wind-Chasing Horses proceeded along the official road.
“Hmm?”
In the lead carriage opening the way sat a sharp-eyed old man whose brow immediately furrowed, because a masked black-clothed person stood on the road ahead blocking the necessary path.
“There’s trouble!” he shouted in a deep voice.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
From the following carriages emerged several experts with profound cultivation, their gazes locking onto the black-clothed person.
As old hands, they instantly judged this was someone attempting highway robbery!
“Daring to stop my Tang Family’s carriages.”
The old man at the very front said coldly: “Seeking death!”
“Whoosh whoosh—”
Leaping up, his entire person stopped in midair, his Wuwang aura completely erupting as he instantly condensed a large hand and pressed it toward that black-clothed person.
Clop!
Xiao Zuiji took a step forward, his right fist suddenly swinging.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Layers of earth-type attributes emanated, condensing a materialized fist that blasted over.
Bang—
The fist seal was powerfully domineering, directly breaking through the palm seal!
The old man who executed the technique was directly shaken flying, staggering as he landed on the official road, his gaze rising with shock.
Earth-type attributes had always focused on defense. That black-clothed person could actually erupt such strong offensive power—his physical body was definitely extraordinary!
“Hiss hiss hiss!”
Just then, horse neighing came.
Dozens of Thousand Li Wind-Chasing Horses had their feet entangled by vine branches, their entire bodies unable to move.
“Swish! Swish!”
Li Qingyang and the others charged out.
Though pretending, they still had to perform, so each released killing intent that instantly enveloped this official road area.
The Tang Family’s four Wuwangs naturally wouldn’t sit idle. They all flew out.
Boom!
Boom!
The Ten Thousand Ancient Sect disciples instantly engaged them in battle.
Speaking of strength, the Tang Family’s several Wuwangs were quite good, but Li Qingyang and others were also formidable, and there were more of them, so they were quickly beaten down one after another.
“Hehehe.”
Su Xiaomo laughed strangely: “Tang Family’s Second Young Master, if you don’t want anything unfortunate to happen, please come out.”
“Swish!”
From the middle carriage, the curtain lifted.
A handsome-looking young man walked out, elegantly cupping his hands with a smile: “This humble one is Tang Ren. What instruction do you have?”
“Nonsense.”
Su Xiaomo shouted: “Of course it’s robbery!”
“This…”
Swish!
Su Xiaomo wasted no words, gathering spiritual energy in his palm and charging forward using Cloud-Stepping Steps!
“Young Master, be careful!”
Several injured Tang Family Wuwangs cried out in alarm.
Boom—
An explosive sound came.
The charging Su Xiaomo was immediately blasted flying, heavily smashing through over ten large trees before twitching all over and collapsing on the ground.
“…”
Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji and others observed three seconds of silence for him.
The Tang Family’s several Wuwangs were dumbfounded. They all turned their heads to look, seeing a white-robed young man standing before the young master, his face wearing a smile like spring breeze.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao gracefully waved his sleeve: “In broad daylight, to actually commit robbery—is there no law anymore?”
This bearing, this action—devastatingly handsome!
“Many thanks to Sect Master Jun for acting to save me,” the Tang Family’s Second Young Master behind him cupped his hands.
“Acting chivalrous when seeing injustice is what one should do in the martial world…”
Wait!
Jun Changxiao’s expression froze: “You recognize this seat?”
“More than recognize.”
The Tang Family’s Second Young Master looked at Li Qingyang and smiled: “If I’m not mistaken, this masked young man should be your esteemed sect’s second disciple, right?”
“…”
“This young man emanating a heavy aura should be Xiao Zuiji.”
“…”
“The one who was blasted flying, with very strong footwork, should be Su Xiaomo.”
“…”
The Tang Family’s Second Young Master one by one called out the names of the masked Ten Thousand Ancient Sect disciples.
The expression on Jun Changxiao’s face was very colorful.
