Chapter 20 The Seven Stars Sect Elders Visit

Regarding Xu Muge becoming a disciple under the Supreme Elder of the Lingyue Sect, the Xu Family not only didn't hide it at all but instead heavily promoted it to the outside world.

Having a backer means letting others know; only then will others not dare to offend you.

Previously, Xu Qingzhou had been thinking about how to deal with the Seven Stars Sect Elder when he came to demand the Magic Treasure. Now, he wasn't panicked at all and even waited for him to arrive.

If he spoke properly, he could return the Magic Treasure to him; after all, it was originally his.

But if he was too arrogant, then he could only let him witness the power of the Golden Sword Talisman.

Only, he hadn't arrived yet, but the City Lord of Yunshan City, Ji Dongfang, arrived first.

As soon as he walked into the living room and saw Xu Qingzhou, Ji Dongfang's face was full of smiles, greeting him warmly and kindly.

"Brother Xu."

Xu Qingzhou asked doubtfully, "May I ask what brings City Lord here?"

"Ah! We're old acquaintances, having known each other for so many years, why are you still so formal? I'm a few years older than you; if you don't mind, just call me Old Brother Ji," Ji Dongfang's enthusiasm made Xu Qingzhou a little unaccustomed.

But Xu Qingzhou understood that the reason he was acting this way was simply because he learned that Xu Qingzhou had a powerful backer, so he came to build connections and get closer.

"How could I dislike Old Brother Ji?"

Ji Dongfang smiled gladly, "That's right. A while ago, I obtained some spirit tea from a colleague. Today, I mainly came to enjoy some tea with you, my brother."

Saying that, he took out the tea leaves and tea set and personally brewed it on the spot.

This was completely unlike the way he was when Xu Qingzhou first met him, looking like an old immortal.

However, his spirit tea was indeed extraordinary. As soon as it was brewed, it emitted a unique fragrance that was refreshing and invigorating.

This spirit tea must not be cheap.

While brewing the tea, Ji Dongfang asked, "I heard that a young fellow from the Xu Family has become a disciple of the Lingyue Sect. That's truly cause for celebration."

"I also have a few friends in the Lingyue Sect. I wonder whose disciple the young fellow became?"

Xu Qingzhou replied frankly, "Elder Su, Su Xin."

Hiss!!

Ji Dongfang suddenly shivered, his hand trembling so much he almost dropped the teapot.

Su Xin's name could be said to be like thunder to the ears. One hundred and fifty years ago, when he was still the Sect Leader of the Lingyue Sect, he was already famous throughout the Great Qi Dynasty.

Although on the surface he looked like a refined gentleman, when he fought, he was exceptionally brutal. It was rumored that since he began cultivating, he had never suffered a defeat in combat with others.

The Heavenly Prodigies of the Great Qi Dynasty from his era were all firmly suppressed by him. Now that his cultivation had advanced further, becoming the Supreme Elder of the Lingyue Sect, he could absolutely be considered a true heavyweight figure.

Ji Dongfang never expected that a member of the Xu Family could actually become his disciple.

This caused the Xu Family's status in his heart to rise another level.

After brewing it, Ji Dongfang said, "Brother Xu, please."

His tone was even more humble and friendly than before.

"Old Brother Ji, please."

They both picked up their teacups and sipped slowly. Xu Qingzhou had truly never drunk such good spirit tea. Just one sip left him astonished.

Ji Dongfang put down his teacup and asked, "How is it, Brother Xu? Is my tea alright?"

Xu Qingzhou nodded repeatedly.

"I've long heard that good spirit tea, like spirit wine, has many wonderful uses. Only after drinking it today do I know that it's indeed true. Good tea, truly good tea."

Ji Dongfang pointed to the jade bottle containing the spirit tea, "Since you like it, my brother, keep these and drink them slowly."

He had bought this at a great price and usually didn't bear to drink it himself. Originally, he only wanted to give Xu Qingzhou a part of it, but now he decided to give it all to him.

Ji Dongfang had long understood a principle: this world isn't about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social etiquette.

"How can I take something you cherish?" Xu Qingzhou waved his hand in refusal.

Ji Dongfang said, "You're being formal again."

Just as Xu Qingzhou was about to continue the back-and-forth, a powerful pressure suddenly descended from above the Xu Family, covering everything.

This pressure was extremely powerful, like a great mountain pressing on everyone's chest. Even Xu Qingzhou, who was in the Middle Stage of the Xuan Dan Realm, could only stand up with difficulty.

One could imagine how much pain the lower-cultivation members of the Xu Family were in at this moment.

"Xu Family Clan Leader, come out and die!!"

A cold voice spread throughout the entire Xu Family, like a clap of thunder ringing in everyone's ears.

Xu Qingzhou circulated his Cultivation Technique with all his might, and only then did he feel slightly better, at least not suppressed to the point where walking was like a turtle crawling. He quickly came to the courtyard and looked up to see two people standing in the air.

One was Elder Zhou of the Seven Stars Sect, and the other blue-robed male cultivator was his disciple, who had visited the Xu Family before.

Xu Qingzhou said neither subservient nor arrogant, "I am the Xu Family Clan Leader, Xu Qingzhou. May I ask why Senior is doing this?"

"Hmph!"

Elder Zhou snorted coldly, "Asking the obvious! Is the Magic Treasure that this old man lent to Zou Kui with you?!"

A cultivation Family from a small border town actually dared to hide his Magic Treasure. They truly didn't know what was good for them.

"Yes."

Xu Qingzhou replied directly.

"Then you can go die!"

Just as Elder Zhou was about to strike, Ji Dongfang behind him quickly sent him a voice transmission.

"Elder, please calm your anger. I am the City Lord of Yunshan City. A few days ago, a member of the Xu Family became a disciple under the Supreme Elder Su Xin of the Lingyue Sect. You must think twice."

Ah this…

Hearing Su Xin's name, Elder Zhou's brain instantly crashed.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What did I come here for?

By the time Elder Zhou recovered, the powerful pressure suppressing the Xu Family courtyard receded like a tide.

Standing in the air, Elder Zhou felt like he had thorns in his back and a bone stuck in his throat.

His face, which had been full of Killing Intent, turned pale, then red, then dark, his emotions constantly changing.

Finally, Elder Zhou suddenly turned his head and looked at his disciple with a dark face.

"You actually dared to sow discord! You can go die!"

Before the disciple could react to what was happening, Elder Zhou struck him with a palm, obliterating his soul.

He truly deserved to die. He hadn't even investigated such important information, causing himself to be in such an awkward situation and almost causing a great disaster.

After killing his disciple, Elder Zhou slowly came before Xu Qingzhou, forcing a smile on his stern face that was uglier than crying.

"My voice was a bit loud just now. I'm truly sorry. I hope I didn't scare Fellow Daoist Xu."
