Chapter 111 Killing the Weapon Forging Alliance
The next day, he didn't wake up early. He had been busy with the affairs of the Linlang Pavilion these days and was indeed a bit tired, but there was nothing he could do about it. In addition, he had been simulating the event the day before, which was why he woke up late. He silently recited the Golden Light Mantra twenty times and then got up. According to the simulation, people from the Weapon Refining Alliance would come to investigate today. He decided to take care of them. These people were like clowns, and they were really annoying.
Logically speaking, if you want to open a business, monopolizing the market is definitely the right thing to do, since it's the way to maximize profits. But when you sell things, the quality of your products is the most important thing. These people don't focus on improving their crafting skills and honing their abilities; instead, they're always thinking about these crooked and unethical methods. Even if Gu Yuchuan hadn't appeared, they wouldn't have had a good future.
Gu Yuchuan stood on the third floor of the Linlang Pavilion, where he could observe the outside world, but he couldn't see anything yet. They probably hadn't arrived yet. After thinking for a moment, he called Song Chuan over.
“There might be a fight here today. Some people are unhappy with the opening of our Linlang Pavilion and want to play some tricks. Tell the people below not to go out for the next two days and to stay in Linlang Pavilion. You are the same. With your level of cultivation, you won’t survive. As long as you don’t go out, you will be absolutely safe.”
Song Chuan's expression changed, but he had expected this day. With such a large operation, the money that could be made was immeasurable, and there would definitely be people with ulterior motives.
"Your Majesty, I will keep an eye on them. However, Your Majesty must also take care of yourself. Your Majesty's safety is the most important thing."
Gu Yuchuan smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, my strength and cultivation are beyond their reach."
After speaking, he gestured for the other party to leave. Song Chuan did not directly tell the maids below about this matter, after all, they were all mortals, and the battle between cultivators was a very distant matter for them. They would definitely be afraid, and this fear would definitely affect them. So Song Chuan changed his words.
"Now that our Linlang Pavilion is about to open, everything in the shop must be kept secret, including the renovations and our activities after the opening. So, starting today, you are not allowed to leave the shop until the opening, understand? If anyone leaves, then they can no longer work here, do you understand?"
They still harbored some fear towards Song Chuan. Firstly, Song Chuan hadn't transformed into human form and remained in his pure demon form, which was a strong visual shock to mortals. Secondly, Song Chuan was their direct superior, the one who managed them directly, and naturally, they were afraid of their direct superior.
They repeatedly assured them that they wouldn't go out before the opening, and only then was the matter considered settled.
Now, Gu Yuchuan could also sense the aura of the cultivators. Although they had used concealment techniques, this was Mingxi, and Gu Yuchuan was the master of Mingxi. He could sense it completely. This was the benefit of being officially appointed. He indeed had stronger insight and combat power in Mingxi. He didn't know how the other party dared to come.
He assessed the situation and decided to give them a chance; if he stayed in the Linlang Pavilion, they wouldn't dare to make a move.
He thought for a moment. It had been a while since he'd returned to the Flood Dragon Palace. Perfect timing. He could take this opportunity to go home and visit. The spiritual energy here was even more abundant, and his cultivation was progressing much faster. On the way, he could just take care of those guys. Who did they think they were to warrant such seriousness?
He lingered there until noon, even having some food at the Linlang Pavilion before heading out. In fact, fearing the other party might not dare to make a move, he pretended to have drunk some wine and be a little drunk. If the other party still didn't dare to make a move, then there was no need to make a move at all. They didn't even have that much courage, yet they tried to kill others; it was utterly ridiculous.
Sure enough, Gu Yuchuan had only taken a few steps when five demons dressed in black jumped out. However, since they were not real humanoids, it was still possible to tell who they were. Their attempt to conceal their identities was essentially useless.
With a quick glance, he spotted the demon general Bixian, whom he had met just yesterday. Her cat ears and tail were impossible to hide; how could he not recognize her? They really thought he was a fool.
"Hey, isn't this the Jade Fairy Demon General we just met yesterday? What are you doing dressed like this today? You're all dressed in night clothes. Look up, it's broad daylight, the sky is clear, your attire makes you even more conspicuous. Aren't you telling everyone that you're up to something bad? Isn't this a bit too outrageous?"
The demon general Bi Xian cursed directly: "Snake demon, since you know who we are, why don't you surrender? There are five of us, and we all have spiritual weapons. Even if you have a powerful bloodline, you won't survive. Not to mention, our eldest brother is a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. Kneel down now, and we'll give you a quick death."
Gu Yuchuan clapped his hands and said, "I haven't heard anyone talk to me like this in a long time. It's really interesting. Do you know what happened to the cultivators who used to talk to me like this? They all died at my hands. My cultivation and strength were earned on the battlefield. I've killed more cultivators than you've ever seen. Even if you cowardly cowards and weaklings all came at me together, you still couldn't beat me."
The Crimson Ancient Demon General beside him lifted his black robe, his face extremely grim.
"Your actions are so perverse that you must die here today. You could have joined our Weapon Refiner Alliance. We could have achieved a win-win situation together, but you have destroyed that possibility with your own hands. We cannot spare your life. Prepare to die."
Gu Yuchuan sneered twice, his gaze filled with mockery: "What are you? How dare you compare yourselves to me? I am a true Level Two Refiner. I can freely refine spiritual weapons according to the blueprints, even mid-grade spiritual weapons. What about you? To be honest, you don't even deserve to be called Level Two Refiners among humans. With such meager skills, instead of thinking about how to improve your refining abilities, you only want to take crooked paths. No wonder you monopolize refining yet still have such low cultivation. It's just that you can't refine many spiritual weapons anyway."
His words were a direct and hurtful remark, striking at their deepest sore spot, and their expressions turned extremely ugly. The demon general Bixian shouted directly, "Snake demon, prepare to die! You have insulted us so much; today you will surely regret ever being born!"
A major war is imminent.
