“I apologize for the rudeness.”
A beautiful voice enveloped the hall.
“I am Soho, in charge of Hall 1 up to the 8th floor.”
A beautiful woman with white skin, wearing silk clothes and a thin fur around her neck, approached with a slight smile.
Her voice lted the tense atmosphere like a spring breeze.
However, that was only for a mont.
An icy gaze was directed at soone. It was the young man who had arrogantly questioned Karlstein.
“No matter how renowned your family is across the continent, that does not apply to you. Unless you intend to look down on the Plum Shadow Pavilion, you should stop there.”
“…”
“Know that this incident will not be taken lightly. Apologize to the custor right now.”
“I cannot accept this! This person’s identity is unclear-“
“Shut up! Before I kill you right now!”
The spring breeze-like atmosphere was gone, and tangible killing intent poured towards the young man.
Tremble-
The young man’s eyes beca faintly unfocused, and his pants were stained a dark color.
“Kuh, kuk. The… Jin Clan… will not let this…!”
“If you ca to spy on the Plum Shadow Pavilion, stick to your purpose. Do not cause unnecessary disturbances.”
“!!”
“If our Plum Shadow Pavilion could be swayed by a single cultivation clan, do you think we could have grown this big?”
The woman nad Soho’s eyes turned red. The young man’s eyes filled with fear.
“You are truly beyond help. If you do not apologize right now, I will expel you from the Plum Shadow Pavilion from this mont on.”
At that mont, soone spoke up.
“There’s no need to protect that guy.”
“Junior Brother, what do you an?”
To say there’s no need to protect the young man to the woman who looked like she was about to kill him right away?
Zhang Yihong questioned in puzzlent, but Karlstein just smiled strangely.
“…”
Although Karlstein didn’t care about the young man’s rudeness, it didn’t an he would forgive him completely.
He rely put it as a lower priority, intending to exact retribution for the arrogant behavior soday.
The young man’s fate was already as good as decided. And the woman had sensed that montary, faint killing intent and intervened.
Did Soho guess Karlstein’s inner thoughts?
She gestured and sent the young man flying up the stairs to the 7th floor.
“…The Jin Clan is not to be taken lightly. Will you be alright? I was not just trying to protect that punk.”
As she said, she didn’t hide the worried look in her eyes for Karlstein.
However, Karlstein’s answer was as if it were natural.
“Of course.”
Soho checked his eyes again, asking for Karlstein’s intention once more. The previous words were nothing short of a provocation against the Jin Clan.
“I cannot silence him. There are eyes watching too.”
Soho glanced at Fang Lunyi. If Fang Lunyi, who was present here, went around saying that he had insulted the Jin Clan, the Jin Clan wouldn’t stay quiet.
The answer to that was the sa.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Soho’s eyebrows twitched at Karlstein’s answer, which showed not even a hint of anxiety.
Just who on earth was this person? Did he have backing that surpassed the Jin Clan? If so, there was no way she wouldn’t know about it.
The man before her had excellent talent, but he was still only at 13 Stars of the Qi Refining Stage.
The Jin Clan was a cultivation clan that no cultivator could be unaware of. It wasn’t a family that could be dealt with by talent alone.
Soho beca curious. However, now was not the ti to satisfy that curiosity.
“I understand. If that is what the custor wishes.”
Soho called for a new guide for Fang Lunyi and warned in a low voice.
“I will not tolerate any more disturbances.”
“…”
She seed to know that it was Fang Lunyi who had instigated the young man from the Jin Clan. Fang Lunyi’s expression hardened, but he didn’t refute.
He was the type to know when to back down.
Soho smiled towards Karlstein.
“However, I cannot not check. Could you show the Dharma Tool you said has power similar to the Heavenly Thunder Jade from ancient tis?”
Karlstein nodded and took out a dark tal object from his bosom, lightly tossing it to her.
Even she was startled by his action.
If it really had power equivalent to the Heavenly Thunder Jade as he said, she wouldn’t be unscathed in a defenseless state.
However, she could quickly calm down as she felt no particular Spiritual Power and no explosion occurred.
“You seem to have a talent for surprising people.”
“Haha.”
She tilted her head, looking at the tal object handed over by the confident Karlstein.
At that mont.
Fang Lunyi, who had been hanging back, raised his voice.
“You bastard! That’s…!”
Soho turned back in puzzlent, and Fang Lunyi strode forward, pointing at the tal object and growling.
“To dare bring that out in front of , you’ve got so guts.”
“Do you know this object? I cannot feel any Spiritual Power from it.”
“Hoo….”
Fang Lunyi, who had been excited, cald down at her question.
Soon, Fang Lunyi showed a cold smile.
“Hmph! This is a low-grade Dharma Tool that this bastard prepared to trick before.”
Karlstein was dumbfounded.
What is this guy saying? This crazy fucker.
“You really are out of your mind. Branch Manager! This punk is a fraud! To claim a Dharma Tool that can be blocked by just one defensive technique is the Heavenly Thunder Jade!”
“Low-grade…?”
The Heavenly Thunder Jade was a high-grade Dharma Tool from ancient tis comparable to the highest grade, despite being single-use.
In other words, although it was only one-ti use, its power was trendous.
The Heavenly Thunder Jade was far too powerful to be blocked by a re Qi Refining Stage defensive technique.
So from Fang Lunyi’s perspective, who had seen it with his own eyes, it was absurd.
Trying to commit fraud openly in Plum Shadow Pavilion?
Very, very good. You have been caught red-handed.
“Haha! Do you think Plum Shadow Pavilion is so neighborhood store? It’s praiseworthy that no Spiritual Power can be felt, but to claim it has power comparable to the Heavenly Thunder Jade! Your boasting is truly amazing!”
“…We should hear this person’s side too. Is this true, custor?”
Soho turned her gaze towards Karlstein to confirm.
No matter how great the backing the other party had, it wasn’t sothing that could be overlooked if they were trying to commit fraud in Plum Shadow Pavilion.
A faint pressure emanated from her towards Karlstein.
However, Karlstein’s reaction was different from expectations.
“Pfft! Hahaha.”
“Why are you laughing? Have you gone mad after being caught trying to deceive and the Plum Shadow Pavilion?!”
There was Fang Lunyi, who seized the opportunity to accuse him of trying to insult the Plum Shadow Pavilion, and Karlstein, who couldn’t stop laughing.
“Ahaha.”
Fang Lunyi felt like he was going crazy at Karlstein’s clearly contemptuous gaze.
“Branch Manager! You won’t just let this slide, will you? We must punish this guy imdiately.”
Karlstein smirked.
“Get lost. Unless you’re going to check it yourself. Don’t bother unnecessarily.”
Imagine comparing a high-density plasma compression bomb made to avoid Dinsional Transfer restrictions as much as possible with a stolen ordinary grenade.
From Karlstein’s perspective, it was laughable.
“Fine! I’ll check it myself! Branch Manager! In exchange, give a chance when punishing this punk!”
The Branch Manager inwardly shook her head at Fang Lunyi’s excitent.
“Haah…. We cannot not check anyway. Is that alright, custor? In exchange, if the power of the Heavenly Thunder Jade is confird, we will definitely compensate you. Moreover, we will also grant you approval to enter the 8th floor.”
“Branch Manager! That’s impossible. Let’s check right now.”
“Do as you please. But I’d like to receive one of the items from the 8th floor as compensation.”
Soho had a strange impression while watching Karlstein, who didn’t lose his composure even in this situation.
Is it really true?
At any rate, it didn’t matter since both had given their consent.
If a problem arises, I can stop it myself.
As her realm was not low either, she sent Yuyu away and imdiately led them to the underground floor.
Fang Lunyi was grinning, Zhang Yihong was anxious, and Karlstein was still smirking.
“Branch Manager! There was no need to co all the way down here. I saw it clearly with my own eyes! Right now-“
“Whoa, whoa. If you want to kill yourself, do it alone. I’ll pass.”
“What are you saying, you crazy bastard!”
Fang Lunyi felt uneasy as Karlstein didn’t lose his smile until the end.
And didn’t the tal object seem a bit different from before?
However, he was able to regain his confidence.
I also have the defensive Dharma Tool I recently acquired, after all.
Fang Lunyi recalled the Dharma Tool in his bosom.
That’s right. Let’s finish this bastard off for sure this ti.
No matter who your backing is, you won’t be able to escape unscathed after causing trouble in the Plum Shadow Pavilion.
Fang Lunyi pulled the pin of the tal object handed over by the bastard with a slight tinge of nervousness and excitent.
“Ah, you need to press the button, no, the switch in the center too! Good luck!”
And Karlstein quickly took care of Zhang Yihong and hid behind the Branch Manager.
Since before, this crazy bastard has been…
Sohow it was infuriating.
Just you wait!
At any rate, Fang Lunyi pressed the small switch as the guy instructed.
However, there was no special reaction.
See, there’s no way-
At that mont, a flash exploded. A sudden sun descended into the basent.
Pzzzt- Boom-
The high-grade Spiritual Stones embedded in the basent’s Sorcery Formations rapidly lost their light, and the sound of defensive Dharma Tools shattering filled the air. Then, there was Fang Lunyi’s miserable scream.
Chaos unfolded.
