Chapter 2134: Master Arrogance

A middle-aged man wearing a fur coat walked out of the inn. He hovered in midair and looked at the face above, said, “As far as I know, your people attacked him first. In addition to that, no one is allowed to fight within the perimeter of my inn for any reason. Do you want to challenge that rule right now?”

While speaking, he fixed his piercing gaze on the face floating in the void.

The middle-aged man was the owner of the Ninth Inn. He was also a ninth-order Renhuang and one of Giant G.o.ds City’s best cultivators who possessed tremendous power. Although he looked like he was in his 40s, it was said that he had been operating the Ninth Inn on Ninth Street for hundreds of years. Neither his appearance nor his cultivation level changed from when he first opened the Ninth Inn.

The top cultivators on Ninth Street certainly knew each other very well. Needless to say, the Chief Elder of the Tianyi Pavilion was aware of the ident.i.ty and ability of the owner of the Ninth Inn. Even so, he was here not to represent himself but the Tianyi Pavilion.

“Tang Chen was one of the people he killed. I’m sure that you know he was Grandmaster Tianbao’s disciple. One of the other two men was from the w.a.n.g Family. The Ninth Inn may have its own rules, but we better honor the code of Ninth Street as well. How about handing him over to me?” the face responded.

“Since when does the Ninth Street have a code? Handing him over to you would ruin the reputation of my inn, wouldn’t it?” the middle-aged man in the fur coat replied in a casual and relaxed manner. It was obvious that he would never let the Chief Elder take Ye Futian away.

“Lin Sheng, can you do me this one favor?” a rusty old voice said from afar. Many people were startled at once. In the meantime, they felt a rush of formidable energy radiating upon Ninth Street. Everyone looked into the distance, knowing who was speaking.

It was Grandmaster Tianbao.

Plenty of people on Ninth Street had heard Grandmaster Tianbao’s voice before.

Grandmaster Tianbao was asking Lin Sheng, the owner of the Ninth Inn, to surrender the mysterious man who killed his disciple Tang Chen.

“Grandmaster, I would gladly lend a hand if it was anything else. But this is about the fundamental rule of my inn. How can I secure my place on Ninth Street in the future if I break the rule right now? Therefore, I have no choice but to ask for your forgiveness and understanding,” Lin Sheng replied. He couldn’t break his own rule.

The rule was the foundation of the Ninth Inn and how Lin Sheng established himself on Ninth Street. The Ninth Inn would be worthless and degraded if he made an exception now.

“Lin Sheng, just this one time. Make an exception once, for Grandmaster Tianbao’s sake. I’m sure everyone on Ninth Street can understand it. We will buy you drinks to show our appreciation another day,” another voice rang out. It was the Cabinet Master of the Tianyi Pavilion this time.

“Lin Sheng, this man murdered an offspring of our w.a.n.g Family in broad daylight. Are you determined to protect him?” another voice boomed. At this point, the confrontation occurring in the Ninth Inn attracted everyone’s attention on Ninth Street.

Several top cultivators active on the Ninth Street were demanding the Ninth Inn to surrender Ye Futian.

Although conflicts were rather common and frequent on Ninth Street, it was different this time. To everyone’s surprise, a mysterious outsider who had no roots in Giant G.o.ds City slaughtered Tang Chen and two other men in public and stirred up this storm. The uproar probably would calm down once Ye Futian was killed in revenge. After all, he had no one to rely on Ninth Street.

“The famed Ninth Street of Giant G.o.ds City is not so impressive after all.”

At this moment, Ye Futian, who was sitting in the middle of the courtyard, suddenly spoke up. Countless pairs of eyes focused on him in an instant. Wearing a metal mask, Ye Futian lowered his head and groomed Baize’s white fur in a laid-back manner. He said, “A couple of self-important fools tried to badger me into meeting someone and even used force on me. They acted so recklessly and blindly and thought some Grandmaster Tianbao is worthy of my visit.”

The crowd was astounded by Ye Futian’s words. Grandmaster Tianbao—the best Alchemy Master and armorer in the Ninth Street—was not deserving of his visit?

Ye Futian slowly stood up. The intense energy of the Great Path of Life burst out of his body and shot up into the clouds. The green divine light illuminated the sky and made every cultivator’s heart tremble.

The energy of the Great Path of Life was formidable and impeccable.

“They attacked me since I didn’t want to go. Don’t they deserve to be killed?” Ye Futian looked up and said, “They think a mere Grandmaster Tianbao can summon me at will. Let me tell you, none of the masters on Ninth Street are worthy of my attention.”

Ye Futian’s contemptuous remark left everyone open-mouthed. Many people in the crowd began to examine Ye Futian again carefully.

Grandmaster Tianbao was held in such high regard on Ninth Street because of his super skill of making pills. An Alchemy Grandmaster was highly cherished and respected among cultivators. Grandmaster Tianbao could create incalculable value for the Tianyi Pavilion.

Nevertheless, this mysterious man might be an Alchemy Grandmaster who had even better potential than Grandmaster Tianbao.

He had the perfect Great Path of Life with vigorous and robust energy of the Great Path. As a result, he must be able to make perfect pills of the Great Path of Life. It was beyond imagination how remarkable the pills he made would be if he advanced to a higher cultivation level in the future.

No wonder he didn’t care for Grandmaster Tianbao at all.

Lin Sheng was also surprised by how powerful Ye Futian was. He looked up at the people in the void and said, “You all saw it with your own eyes. How would you react if I sent some people over to demand your presence?”

According to Lin Sheng, he already believed that Ye Futian was on equal footing with Grandmaster Tianbao. In his opinion, Grandmaster Tianbao had no right to summon Ye Futian to the Tianyi Pavilion.

Grandmaster Tianbao never expected that Ye Futian wouldn’t appreciate his imperious and condescending invitation. His men tried to strong-arm Ye Futian. Of course, Ye Futian would fight back.

“Shameless,” Grandmaster Tianbao’s voice said from a distance. “You should respect me as your senior even if you have an extraordinary Great Path and can make excellent pills. I sent people to invite you out of courtesy. Who would have thought that you were such a haughty man?”

“Out of courtesy?” Ye Futian gazed into the distance and said, “I have returned to the inn and have no interest in heading out again today. But I will visit the Tianyi Pavilion tomorrow and see how good you really are at alchemy.”

Was that… a challenge?

Did this mysterious Alchemy Grandmaster intend to challenge Grandmaster Tianbao in alchemy?

How arrogant!

It seemed that he had considered Grandmaster Tianbao beneath him since the beginning. What a conceited man he must be.

Standing in the courtyard, he was facing several top cultivators of Ninth Street who came to capture him, yet he didn’t take them seriously at all. Was it simply the typical arrogance of an Alchemy Grandmaster?

“How fascinating,” Lin Sheng said with a smile. “You all have heard him. This mysterious master will pay a call on the Tianyi Pavilion tomorrow, and we will be able to witness the spectacle by then.”

Everyone on Ninth Street was watching the situation in the Ninth Inn closely. They were all shocked that the mysterious master dared to challenge Grandmaster Tianbao. His arrogance was beyond people’s imagination.

If he really was so capable, Grandmaster Tianbao indeed insulted him by sending his disciple to summon him to the Tianyi Pavilion.

Even the Cabinet Master of the Tianyi Pavilion was at a loss for words at this moment. Ye Futian had informed them that he would go to the Tianyi Pavilion tomorrow. What else could they do at this point?

While the Cabinet Master was still contemplating a response, Grandmaster Tianbao answered offhandedly, “In that case, I will be waiting for you in the Tianyi Pavilion.”

“Let’s wait for a day then.” The domineering energy was pulled back. The Cabinet Master of the Tianyi Pavilion left, and the face in the void also disappeared. The crowd dispersed in a short time. However, a few Renhuangs were still monitoring the inn with the divine consciousness as though they were worried that Ye Futian would slip away.

Although the top cultivators took off, for now, Ninth Street was thrown in a ferment. Everyone discussed the mysterious outsider who issued a challenge to Grandmaster Tianbao, who was unrivaled in Ninth Street when it came to alchemy. Grandmaster Tianbao could make extremely high-grade pills and had been a well-respected guest of the Tianyi Pavilion.

All the big fish in the Ninth Street gladly a.s.sociated themselves with Grandmaster Tianbao. Even the ancient royal family of Duan had sent people to make contact with him. If not for having a better grandmaster within the Duan family, they would undoubtedly recruit Grandmaster Tianbao.

Nonetheless, many people were not fully convinced yet. Although the mysterious man had a perfect Great Path, he was on a lower cultivation level than Grandmaster Tianbao. It would not be easy for him to compete with Grandmaster Tianbao in alchemy.

Having said that, some people might be willing to take him under their protection as long as he could display excellent alchemy skills.

The news soon spread from Ninth Street to other parts of Giant G.o.ds City. The arrogant and mysterious master on Ninth Street slowly rose to fame.
