Wan Qianqiu’s implication was clear: even with the addition of Haitang, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, their side was still no match for the combined force of the Four Great Sects.
Rather than that, it was better to secure this Forbidden Medicine Garden first to prevent everyone from coming to blows and ending up with nothing.
After all, Wan Qianqiu was no match for Haitang in understanding Zhu Fei’s combat power—he knew very well that Zhu Fei probably didn’t even consider those people a threat.
Zhu Fei, of course, did not bother to explain anything; after briefly speaking to Wan Qianqiu, he headed towards their own Forbidden Medicine Garden.
"Zhu Fei, did you notice anything?" asked Haitang, looking at Zhu Fei who seemed thoughtful.
"Let me try," Zhu Fei replied with a smile, nodding at Haitang. Then, under the gaze of everyone, he threw out several Array Flags, shooting them into various positions of the Prohibition.
A loud noise echoed the moment Zhu Fei set up the Array Flags. The Prohibition barrier there suddenly began to shake violently.
In the next moment, everyone was shocked to see that the Prohibition barrier they had been unable to break for a long time simply vanished with Zhu Fei’s effortless actions!
"Hiss—" A series of sharp intakes of breath suddenly erupted.
Everyone, including Haitang and Wan Qianqiu, stared at Zhu Fei in disbelief.
Even though they knew Zhu Fei was proficient in Arrays, they had never imagined he could resolve a problem they had not been able to fix for a long time so quickly.
However, their attention quickly shifted to the spectacle revealed behind the now nonexistent barrier.
Because of the barrier, everyone had a vague glimpse of what was behind it, a garden filled with medicine.
But now with the Prohibition completely gone, what they saw was an even larger and more splendid medicinal garden!
Countless precious Spiritual Medicines, plants, and Spiritual Springs were nearly all present in abundance, equating to almost half the reserves of a Great Sect.
Almost instinctively, many people’s breathing became slightly heavier at that moment, their hearts filled with endless joy.
However, their joy did not last long before it was interrupted by several piercing voices.
"Ha ha! Who would have thought that behind this Prohibition lay such vast resources."
A handsome young man holding a folding fan suddenly appeared behind Zhu Fei and the others. His demeanor and cultivation were no less than those of Haitang and Wan Qianqiu.
He was accompanied by several other equally imposing young men.
At that moment, their eyes met, each gaze revealing intense heat and strong desire.
Eventually, the man with the folding fan spoke up.
He looked towards Zhu Fei and the others. When his gaze inadvertently swept over Haitang, his eyes noticeably brightened, but eventually, his eyes settled on Wan Qianqiu.
"Wan Qianqiu, given the current situation, I suppose I, Jiang Hai, don’t need to elaborate further, right? We are all dignified people. I’ll give you some face. The medicinal garden you just opened, your Ten Thousand Treasure Sect can have thirty percent, how about it?"
Wan Qianqiu’s expression changed immediately, but before he could speak, Jiang Hai had already interrupted:
"Additionally, that guy who just opened this Prohibition, yes, him, let him come help us out a bit. Surely, this little favor shouldn’t be a problem, right?"
Jiang Hai was quite arrogant, not even considering Ten Thousand Treasure Sect and Yaochi Sect worthy opponents.
But speaking again, now that Jiang Hai was representing the other three of the Three Great Sects, he naturally had plenty of confidence.
He believed that, given the current situation, Wan Qianqiu definitely could not fail to see that all he needed to do was to provide him an out, and he would graciously accept defeat.
"Jiang Hai, Poison Young Master, Young Master Xue, Xuanji Zi,"hton sailed up a notch. "Don’t you think you are going too far?"
Before Wan Qianqiu could speak, Haitang stepped forward, overwhelmed with anger.
"Oh, isn’t this the remnant from the former ’spirit’ palace? What’s the matter? Now that you are with the Yaochi Sect, why hasn’t your temper changed even a bit?"
Jiang Hai clearly recognized Haitang, and not just him—the other three named by Haitang knew her too.
They simply never truly took Haitang seriously.
Jiang Hai even continued to tease, "If I remember correctly, when you entered this Heavenly Road Secret Realm, you were under attack by the Seven Stars Pavilion, the Xiahou family, and Cangmang Valley, right? I can’t believe you’re so powerful to have escaped their siege."
His face then suddenly turned stern, and he said coldly, "Scram! ’Bitch’! Who gave you the right to speak here? If you’re willing to service this young master later, I might consider letting your Yaochi Sect have some leftovers. Otherwise, shut your mouth!"
Suddenly, applause rang out in the clearing.
A man dressed in black, his body surrounded by a dense poison, the Poison Young Master, suddenly smirked at Jiang Hai saying:
"You’re known as the Cold-faced Young Master in Kunlun Xuan Realm, and today I really see why. Such a beautiful woman like Haitang Fairy, and you can just turn your back on her. I truly admire you."
"Haitang Fairy, how about we make a deal? As you know, my Ten Thousand Poison Sect specializes in cultivating through Poison Skill. If you give me one of your Asiatic apple Hearts, I’m willing to let you have thirty percent of the medicinal garden."
The so-called Asiatic apple Heart is the essence of the Purple and Red Begonia, a heavenly and earthy treasure, with effects beyond estimation.
Moreover, it’s the life source of the Purple and Red Begonia, with only three in existence. Losing one would reduce Haitang’s lifespan by a third and even cause her cultivation to drop.
The Poison Young Master’s demand was clearly an opportunistic robbery, and in the eyes of Haitang and the others, it was a blatant provocation and humiliation.
Haitang said coldly, her hands trembling slightly from anger.
As she was about to unleash her Magical Treasure, Zhu Fei, standing beside her, suddenly raised his hand and patted her shoulder, saying with a smile:
"Haitang, there’s no need to get angry with this trash. Don’t worry, I’ll make them spit out everything they owe, with interest, for your sake."
