Chapter 1143: Chapter 1040: Thousand Crafts Sect at Its Zenith
"Elder Qing Qian, why are you so angry?"
Before Qing Qian could respond, Luo Qianshan walked out from the pavilion where he was seated, stroking his beard as he walked. "Indeed, Elder Qing Qian, why such anger? Your Zeming Trading Company can’t even use that many Celestial Materials. Why still hold onto a forty percent share? There’s a saying for this: ’occupying the latrine but not using it.’ Isn’t that exactly the behavior of Zeming Trading Company?"
Seeing Luo Qianshan personally come out to confront Qing Qian, the Sub-Branch Leader of the Myriad Treasures Sect, who was initially in a difficult position, quickly stepped aside.
Qing Qian ignored him and approached Luo Qianshan angrily, looking ready to fight.
"Want a larger share? Fine, let’s have a battle to the death, and whoever has more survivors gets the larger share."
"Elder Qing Qian, such words are unmeaningful. Fighting is what other factions do. When did we, Thousand Crafts Sect and Zeming Palace, resort to this? Furthermore, Elder Qing Qian seems unaware of how many orders for the Four-Vortex and Three-Vortex Vortex Map we’ve received in just half a day?"
After speaking, Luo Qianshan signaled to a True Disciple nearby, who promptly walked over and arrogantly said, "In half a day, we’ve received forty-two orders for the Four-Vortex Vortex Map and one thousand three hundred and seventy-two orders for the Three-Vortex Vortex Map."
"Elder Qing Qian, everyone, you all heard that, right? With so many Vortex Maps, if our Thousand Crafts Sect still sticks to the previous share, it’s a bit unreasonable, wouldn’t you say, Elder Qing Qian?"
Luo Qianshan uttered the last sentence slowly, as though asking Qing Qian, but upon closer inspection, the meaning was somewhat complex.
"That won’t do!" Though Qing Qian said no with her mouth, her heart was filled with shock.
Forty-two Four-Vortex Vortex Maps.
One thousand three hundred seventy-two Three-Vortex Vortex Maps.
The Zeming Trading Company couldn’t receive such orders in a year!
A single Vortex Divine Artisan Ranking brought such massive orders to the Thousand Crafts Sect’s sub-branch.
They certainly couldn’t let the Thousand Crafts Sect have its way!
"Elder Qing Qian, your words don’t count. The Myriad Treasures Sect has always allocated shares according to need. Just look at your Zeming Trading Company now; see how desolate it has become, yet it still holds onto forty percent of the shares. Isn’t that a bit too much?" Luo Qianshan pressed further, aiming to kill with words.
"We are excessive? Luo Qianshan, if you’re going to say that, we’ll go down with you. Our Thousand Crafts Sect might not have as many Four-Vortex Vortex Divine Artisans as you, nor as strong, but Zeming Palace is not to be underestimated." Qing Qian knew she could not retreat, as retreating would lead to total defeat.
Perhaps only by fighting to the death could the current situation be preserved; at least the shares wouldn’t be lost.
Not losing the shares was still bearable for them in the short term. As for what to do next, she couldn’t think about it for now.
Luo Qianshan felt a bit angry even with his good mood when hearing Qing Qian’s irrational stubbornness, "Qing Qian, don’t push your luck. Today, our Thousand Crafts Sect just wants a ten percent share from you. If you insist on mutually assured destruction, then fine, let’s see how you plan to do that?"
Boom—
Luo Qianshan’s four meridians vibrated simultaneously.
The aura of Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted burst forth!
Immediately, members of the Thousand Crafts Sect also opened their Meridian Gates, with a full seven or eight of them being Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted!
Qing Qian responded by opening her Meridian Gate, but even with the people from Zeming Palace behind her, they had only three or four Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted at most.
The power gap was clear instantly!
Seeing this, the Sub-Branch Leader of the Myriad Treasures Sect quickly stepped forward to stand between the two parties, smiling to mediate, "Everyone, everyone, let’s talk things over nicely. Why resort to blades and swords? We’re all businessmen after all, seeking mutual benefit and win-win outcomes. Why use such extreme mutually assured destruction?"
Luo Qianshan coldly sneered, "They, the Zeming Trading Company, still want to go down with us? You think too highly of them!"
"Let’s try then!"
Qing Qian pressed forward, ready to fight.
Who could have expected that at this moment, Luo Qianshan abruptly erupted, directly taking the Sub-Branch Leader of the Myriad Treasures Sect and tossing him aside. He then quickly activated his Meridian Gate, suddenly summoning a massive virtual image behind him.
With a tremendous roar, Luo Qianshan threw out a punch. Seeing this, Qing Qian quickly retreated, her Meridian Gate vibrating as she countered with her Vein Technique. Instantly, countless green leaves danced like butterflies, then converged into a group, forming a Giant Sword filled with immense killing intent, charging at Luo Qianshan.
However, Luo Qianshan did not retreat a step; he charged directly at the Giant Sword.
Boom—
With a single punch, the Giant Sword shattered, but Luo Qianshan did not stop; instead, he charged even more fiercely, heading straight for Qing Qian.
Seeing this, Qing Qian’s face changed dramatically.
Strong!
Luo Qianshan was even stronger than before!
"Do you think, with your power, you can bring mutual destruction to me? You overestimate yourself!"
As his words fell, Luo Qianshan’s fist had already reached Qing Qian’s face. She hurriedly raised her arm to protect her chest, her body emitting a faint green light that formed a protective barrier in front of her. Yet, she was still blasted away with a single punch, being knocked back a thousand feet before barely stabilizing her stance.
Just when she was about to raise her hand, she felt a numbing sensation all over her body, with her arm in even greater pain.
With just one punch, Qing Qian instantly understood the difference between herself and Luo Qianshan; it wasn’t just a small gap.
Luo Qianshan had perhaps already stepped into the Realm of Invincibility, with few in the Primordial Yang Domain able to rival him.
Just as she intended to take another step forward, she felt a tearing pain within her internal organs, causing her to grit her teeth in agony.
