Chapter 376 Ch 376: Feng Qiubai's Worry
"Lord Emissary, can you lower the standards? Otherwise, we will not be able to meet the standards of the Stormwatch Sect." Feng Qiubai gritted his teeth said. In the end, he had no choice but to lower his head to ask for a favor.
The Stormwatch Sect's emissary, however, denied instantly.
"No. I can't do that. If you are unable to pay up, just be ready to face the wrath of my Stormwatch Sect."
Lu Tianming, an elder of the Solar Phoenix Sect, said angrily, "Lord Emissary has overestimated our Solar Phoenix Sects. Our Solar Phoenix Sect absolutely cannot pay up to triple the original amount."
The Stormwatch Sect emissary's face sank. He sneered coldly, "Do the two of you really think that I am an idiot? I clearly know that you guys obtained a lot of Luminous Essence Crystals from an abandoned cave on the outskirts of the Devil Forest. Don't tell me I'm wrong about this!"
Feng Qiubai and Lu Tianming's faces froze. They did not know how this emissary knew about this matter. They also finally understood why this person was making things difficult for them. It is because of his greed.
Indeed, if they were to hand over all the Luminous Essence Crystals they obtained by luck, they might really be able to reach the standard.
However, the problem was that eighty percent of the Luminous Essence Crystals had been given to Feng Hanli to bring them to other Lands and do business. This way, they could buy other resources.
As a result, they were left with only 20 percent of the Luminous Essence Crystals. Naturally, they could not afford the number of Luminous Essence Crystals requested by the Stormwatch Sect.
The Stormwatch Sect emissary's face was filled with impatience as he suddenly stood up. "You lot... If you can't pay, then don't blame me for not giving you any face."
Boom!
A surge of aura that belonged to a Fifth Stage of Celestial Awakening Realm warrior swept out. The emissary smiled coldly and grabbed towards Feng Qiubai and Lu Tianming with both hands.
However...
At this moment, an even more vast and mighty pressure descended, pressing down on the Stormwatch Sect emissary's body.
Puff!
The Stormwatch Sect messenger spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his body was instantly pressed down.
Looking out from the corner of his eye, he saw a handsome young man stepping in from outside the door. An elderly figure was walking one step behind him.
"Elder Feng!" Feng Qiubai and Lu Tianming immediately stood up when they saw the elderly figure. Their expressions were both surprised and a little panicked.
The surprise was naturally the handsome young man's attack, but the panic was because they were afraid that Stormwatch Sect would cause trouble later on.
"Elder Feng... This..." Feng Qiubai and the elders of the sect all showed puzzled expressions on their faces. Obviously, they wanted to know more about this young man who actually pressed down the emissary of Stormwatch Sect.
Feng Hanli was even more surprised. He did not expect Ling Xiaolong, a First Stage Celestial Awakening Realm warrior, to be powerful enough to press down a Fifth Stage Celestial Awakening Realm warrior on the floor with just his aura alone.
This gave him a shock. Other than that, he was now even more sure that Ling Xiaolong's background must be scary.
He just has no idea why such a person suddenly appeared in the void!
Feng Hanli waved his hand and said, "I'll explain later."
After that, he looked at Ling Xiaolong and nodded.
Staring at Ling Xiaolong, the emissary of Stormwatch Sect felt that his divine soul had entered an unfathomable abyss, and he couldn't find a way out. Because of Ling Xiaolong's unfathomable strength, his face turned pale, and he broke out in cold sweat.
"I have only felt this kind of unfathomable feeling from the Sect Leader of my Stormwatch Sect. This man is not a simple First Stage Celestial Awakening Realm warrior. He is definitely at the Ninth Stage of Celestial Awakening Realm!"
He has no idea who this man is and where he came from, but in this perilous moment, he knew if he could rope this person in, he would be rewarded greatly by the Stormwatch Sect.
"You... Sir, how about joining my Storm-watch Sect? I don't know what benefit these guys have given you, but my Stormwatch Sect can give you better conditions."
Feng Qiubai and Lu Tianming immediately became nervous when they heard this. Even Feng Hanli was the same, it is just that he was slightly less nervous because of his understanding of Ling Xiaolong's character till now.
"Ahhhh!"
The moment he finished speaking, the pressure on his body suddenly increased. The emissary of the Stormwatch Sect let out a miserable cry. Under such pressure, he felt as if all the bones in his body were going to break.
"You... How dare you..." The messenger looked at Ling Xiaolong in shock and anger. He never thought that not only did Ling Xiaolong not intend to join the Stormwatch Sect, but he also dared to target him when he knew that he was the emissary of the Stormwatch Sect.
A cold light flashed across Ling Xiaolong's eyes. The emissary's body trembled, and he didn't dare to say anything.
Feng Hanli, Feng Qiubai, and Lu Tianming heaved a sigh of relief.
Ling Xiaolong easily restrained the emissary of the Stormwatch Sect. Under the pressure of his powerful aura, the emissary soon fainted.
After that, Feng Hanli explained to everyone about Ling Xiaolong and his offer through Sound Transmission.
Hearing Ling Xiaolong's crazy offer, everyone was stunned.
How could they not be shocked?
They had never thought of becoming as powerful as the Stormwatch Sect after all.
Sect Leader Feng observed Ling Xiaolong, hesitated a little, and finally asked, "Master Ling, are you sure about everything you've said?"
"I am!" Ling Xiaolong calmly nodded his head.
Feng Qiubai took a deep breath and shared his thoughts, "Actually, given the opportunity, who wouldn't want to break free from someone else's control? However, the Stormwatch Sect is truly a force that the current Solar Phoenix Sect cannot contend with."
"I don't know how, but let's assume you provide us with enough resources to elevate the sect's strength to match that of the Stormwatch Sect. However, strengthening the sect will undoubtedly take time. Will the Stormwatch Sect remain idle while we grow stronger? They will surely retaliate and launch attacks against us. They might even attempt to annihilate our entire sect."
"What will we do then?"
Indeed, Feng Qiubai's worry was not without reason.
By letting Ling Xiaolong suppress the emissary, they have already offended the Stormwatch Sect. The Stormwatch Sect will definitely try to make them pay the price for this daring action.
How could the Stormwatch Sect let go of the Solar Phoenix Sect if they tried to break free from their control? How could they let the Solar Phoenix Sect increase their strength?
They'll surely come upfront and destroy the Solar Phoenix Sect as soon as they take this daring step.
"Hmm. That is indeed a problem!" Ling Xiaolong nodded his head in understanding and suddenly said with a smile, "How about I pay a visit to this Stormwatch Sect then?"
"..."
A confused expression appeared on everyone's face. They thought they had heard incorrectly.
"Master Ling, what did you say just now? I seemed to have heard wrongly." Sect Master Feng spoke in a confused voice.
"You did not hear me wrong, Sect Master Feng. I said I'll pay a visit to the Stormwatch Sect first. I'm sure they'll be very cooperative after my visit."
No one knew what to say anymore. Even Feng Hanli was the same.
If Ling Xiaolong planned to pay a simple visit to the Stormwatch Sect, then it would be alright. With his strength and background, he should be fine.
But if he is planning to cause trouble there, then this matter will get worse.
How could Stormwatch Sect simply watch as Ling Xiaolong threatens them?
Yes, it is possible for them to put up with Ling Xiaolong if he flaunts his background, but the question is, will they be so cooperative?
How could they let someone snatch their food from their mouth?
The Solar Phoenix Sect was food to the Stormwatch Sect. They will definitely not let anyone snatch them so easily.
"Master Ling, I think you should not..."
Before Feng Hanli could complete his sentence, Ling Xiaolong's words were heard, "It is decided then. I'll pay a visit to the Stormwatch Sect with that emissary. Don't worry, it'll be just a friendly visit."
"..."
None of them knew what to say anymore. They looked at Ling Xiaolong's smiling face and the shining in his eyes. They could tell that Ling Xiaolong was determined to pay a visit to the Stormwatch Sect.
They understood that they could only comply with Ling Xiaolong's request.
It is just that, they were not sure what exactly Ling Xiaolong wanted to do. Why does he want to visit the Stormwatch Sect?
