Chapter 140 Do you really want to fight to the death?
The Seven Stars Sect is in Liangbei County, and the nearest city to it is Yu City.
In the large and small cities of Huai Dong County and Liangbei County, there are branches of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, and most of them have booming businesses, making a lot of money every day.
Only the Yu City branch has dismal business, with only a few customers throughout the day, and has been operating at a loss.
The shopkeeper and the cook stood at the front counter, their faces full of worry.
"When we first opened the shop, it was incredibly lively. How did it end up like this?"
Sometimes when returning to the Xu Family and chatting with people from other branches, I feel too embarrassed to say I'm from the Yu City branch. It's too shameful.
"How did it end up like this? You'd have to ask the Seven Stars Sect. Those dogs will stop at nothing."
"They pretend to be customers, secretly put dirty things in the food, then spread rumors all over the city, deliberately making the area around our shop smell awful so others don't dare to approach. They've used every dirty trick in the book."
"And yet, we can't find any evidence, so there's nothing we can do about them."
"Aren't the Seven Stars Sect afraid of losing five Nascent Soul Realm experts again, just like last time?"
"Just wait. It's not that retribution won't come, just that the time isn't right yet. Once our Xu Family grows stronger, the Seven Stars Sect will be the first to face our wrath!!"
Just as the two were chatting, three people strolled in.
Seeing them, the shopkeeper's temper immediately flared up.
"Get out! Our Drunken Immortal Pavilion doesn't welcome you!!"
The reason he was so agitated was that these three were the ones who often came to the shop to cause trouble.
Now that the Drunken Immortal Pavilion's business is so bad, these three are one of the main culprits!
The three chuckled.
"When you open a business, there's no reason not to welcome customers."
"That's right. If you don't want to do business, just close the shop."
"Believe it or not, we'll go out and spread the word right now, saying your Drunken Immortal Pavilion looks down on customers."
The shopkeeper wanted to say more, but the cook pulled him back.
"Forget it, let them talk. Just pretend someone is farting."
After the shopkeeper and the cook stopped talking, the three made some sarcastic remarks, felt a bit bored, and left.
They just came to see if there were any customers in the shop. If there were, they would try every means to drive them away. Now that they saw no one was there, they were relieved.
They could now rest assured and go collect the reward money given by the Seven Stars Sect Elder.
The Seven Stars Sect didn't dare to openly oppose the Xu Family, so they could only resort to these underhanded tricks.
Little did they know, great disaster was about to befall them.
Because the Xu Family's flying boat had already arrived at the Seven Stars Sect's mountain gate.
Xu Qingzhou raised his hand and delivered a palm strike.
"Boom!"
The Seven Stars Sect's mountain gate was directly blasted into ruins.
Since the Seven Stars Sect was established, they had never encountered such a thing. In an instant, everything was in chaos.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"
"Who has the guts of a bear and the ambition of a leopard! Who dares to attack my Seven Stars Sect!"
Soon, a large number of Disciples and many Elders rushed over, and even the Sect Master came out.
The Seven Stars Sect Master saw Xu Qingzhou standing at the very front of the flying boat at a glance.
"Clan Leader Xu, what is the meaning of this? Are you planning to wage war against my Seven Stars Sect?"
Xu Qingzhou shook his head and said, "Not waging war, but annihilating the Seven Stars Sect."
"You!"
Hearing this, everyone from the Seven Stars Sect looked horrified and extremely frightened.
If it were just an ordinary third or fourth-rate force saying this, they would only find it amusing.
But with the Xu Family saying this, they felt it might be true, and they became afraid.
After all, the Xu Family indeed possessed such strength.
The Seven Stars Sect Master's expression changed slightly, and he pretended to be calm, saying, "Clan Leader Xu, there were indeed some misunderstandings between us before, but last time our Seven Stars Sect already lost five Nascent Soul Realm experts. Is that not enough as compensation?"
Xu Qingzhou stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at him from above, appearing completely unmoved.
The Xu Family members behind him were all rubbing their fists and palms, just waiting for his command to act.
Although their apparent strength was quite ordinary, the Seven Stars Sect Master alone could take them all down.
But everyone knew that Xu Qingzhou was the son-in-law of Su Xin and Yu Tianzhuo, so it would be easy to call upon Heavenly Palace Realm helpers.
The Seven Stars Sect Master completely panicked.
"Clan Leader Xu, is there anything we can't sit down and discuss properly?"
At this moment, he was filled with regret. Why did he have to resort to those petty tricks?
The main reason was that they had completely underestimated how tough the Xu Family was. Just for such a small matter, they had come directly to their doorstep to kill.
Xu Qingzhou asked calmly, "Were you wrong?"
The Seven Stars Sect Master subconsciously wanted to retort.
We weren't wrong, where were we wrong!
Even if we were wrong, didn't your Xu Family have any problems?
But facing Xu Qingzhou's indifferent gaze, he instantly cowered.
He nodded repeatedly.
"We were wrong, our Seven Stars Sect was wrong."
Xu Qingzhou said, "Since you were wrong, you should accept the punishment!"
With a wave of his hand, the Xu Family members who had been waiting for this moment all jumped off the flying boat and charged towards the Seven Stars Sect members.
Huh?
This combo attack completely stunned everyone from the Seven Stars Sect.
You put a knife to my neck, asked if I was wrong, and as soon as I admitted it, you directly attacked? How can you play like this!!
The Seven Stars Sect Master quickly shouted, "Clan Leader Xu, we have already pledged allegiance to the Tai Xu Sect. Doing this will trigger a great war! Please reconsider!!"
He was truly afraid. If he had known the Xu Family was so tough, he wouldn't have provoked them again no matter what.
Xu Qingzhou scoffed.
"Do you think the Tai Xu Sect will avenge you?"
The Seven Stars Sect Master was momentarily speechless. A Seven Stars Sect that still existed was indeed somewhat useful to the Tai Xu Sect.
But if they were already annihilated, their usefulness would be gone. Major powers who always prioritize benefits wouldn't do things that yield no profit.
At this moment, the Xu Family members were already fighting fiercely with the Tai Xu Sect Disciples.
The members of the Bandit Suppression Squad were not only all at the Xuan Dan Realm cultivation level, but each one had extremely rich combat experience. A single charge sent the Tai Xu Sect Disciples reeling, forcing them to retreat step by step.
Especially the three Heavenly Chosen, who were particularly conspicuous. Among them, Xu Muge and Xu Luo, who were already at the perfected Purple Mansion, only displayed cultivation at the early Purple Mansion stage, yet one person chased after four or five Seven Stars Sect Elders of the same Realm.
Only Xu Chen, who was at the late Xuan Dan Realm, was also fighting back and forth with a Seven Stars Sect Purple Mansion Realm Elder.
The Seven Stars Sect Master was furious, "You surnamed Xu, do you really want to fight to the death?!"
"The fish will die, but the net won't break," Xu Qingzhou replied calmly.
