Leaving the Game for a Million Years: I'm the Human Race's Holy Emperor

#39 - Chapter 39: The Attitude of the Blood Cloud Tower and the Heavenly Sword Dynasty

Time passed quickly, and half a month went by.

The Scripture Pavilion had been perfected, and the Sword Sect's disciples had obtained their desired cultivation methods.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan, who had been dispatched to other cities to develop the pure spirit crystal business, hurriedly returned to the sect.

When he returned to the sect's main hall, he found a small, chubby man sitting in the Deputy Sect Master's seat, reviewing documents.

Upon seeing this, Chen Fan immediately stepped forward and scolded, "Who are you? How dare you sit in my Sword Sect's Deputy Sect Master's seat!"

Duan Fei, who hadn't taken his disguise pill, was immediately startled. When he saw that it was Chen Fan, he smiled and said, "Elder Chen, it hasn't been that long, have you already forgotten me? I'm Deputy Sect Master Duan."

"Don't you dare insult Deputy Sect Master Duan! Deputy Sect Master Duan is eight feet tall and has a handsome appearance. How could he be like you, with a fat two-foot girth, a height of six feet, and an extremely ugly appearance? Speak quickly, who exactly are you, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Chen Fan shouted fiercely, and a wave of aura pressed towards Duan Fei.

Duan Fei's face turned pale. He didn't have Li Beifei's black cloak that could block aura. His cultivation was only at the early stage of Spirit Convergence, so how could he withstand Chen Fan's aura?

"Elder Chen, stop!"

Just then, Li Beifei appeared in front of Duan Fei, blocking Chen Fan's aura for him.

Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Fan immediately withdrew his aura. He looked at Li Beifei, who had revealed his true appearance, in surprise.

"Sect Master?" Chen Fan asked.

"It's me," Li Beifei nodded.

"How could this be?" Chen Fan was a little confused. Wasn't the Sect Master a great power beyond the Life and Death Realm? How could he only be in the middle stage of Void Breaking?

However, it was rare for someone in the middle stage of Void Breaking to be able to easily block his own Life and Death Realm aura.

"There are some things you don't need to know too much about. You just need to know that I am the Sect Master of the Seven Star Sword Sect," Li Beifei said with a smile.

"Yes," Chen Fan responded. Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't have any disloyal thoughts. After all, he used to be the head of a family, so his brain was still functioning normally. Since Li Beifei had openly let him know his true identity, it meant that Li Beifei had nothing to fear.

"Sect Master, is that chubby... voluptuous person really Deputy Sect Master Duan?" Although Chen Fan had some guesses in his heart, he still couldn't believe it, because the difference between before and after was too great.

Li Beifei, upon hearing this, had a helpless expression. He glared at Duan Fei and said, "I told you not to choose such a handsome appearance back then, and you even let the sect's disciples know. See if you dare to show your true face again in the future."

Duan Fei also said aggrievedly, "That's not what you said back then, Big Brother. You even praised me for being handsome."

"You dare to talk back?" Li Beifei pretended to hit him, scaring Duan Fei to hide far away.

Li Beifei sighed and said, "Elder Chen, he is the Deputy Sect Master."

"Uh..."

Seeing that the Sect Master had admitted it, he couldn't help but accept the fact. It was just that when he thought about how he had previously wanted to introduce his daughter to the Deputy Sect Master, he was glad that he hadn't had the chance. Forgive me, forgive me, I'm really not discriminating against appearances, it's just that the contrast is too great, and I can't react.

"Elder Chen, shouldn't you be in Di Yuan City overseeing the overall situation of the Pure Spirit Pavilion? Why did you suddenly return?" Li Beifei asked.

Di Yuan City was a large city near Jian Yuan City, and its overall strength was slightly stronger than Jian Yuan City because the city lord of Di Yuan City was a Life and Death Realm expert.

Chen Fan's expression turned serious, and he said, "That's right, Sect Master, do you know about the Blood Cloud Tower?"

Li Beifei frowned upon hearing this. He had heard of this Blood Cloud Tower. It was an assassin organization in the Heavenly Sword Dynasty and was disliked by all forces in the Heavenly Sword Dynasty, including the royal family.

But such an assassin organization that was hated by all forces was able to make a great name for itself in the Heavenly Sword Dynasty, which showed that this force was not simple.

"I've heard of it, continue," Li Beifei said.

Chen Fan nodded and said, "Our Pure Spirit Pavilion in Di Yuan City was originally operating normally, and we only needed to hand over half of our profits to the city lord's mansion of Di Yuan City as tax. Everything was normal, but yesterday, I received a letter, a letter from the Blood Cloud Tower."

As he spoke, Chen Fan took out a letter with a blood-colored cloud on it. The blood-colored cloud represented the Blood Cloud Tower.

Li Beifei took the letter and took out a letter from it. When he opened it and looked at it, his face instantly became extremely gloomy.

"Big Brother, what's written on it?" Duan Fei asked, leaning closer.

"See for yourself," Li Beifei handed the contents to Duan Fei.

Duan Fei took it and looked at it, and his face also became extremely ugly.

"This damned Blood Cloud Tower actually wants us to hand over 80% of the profits from the pure spirit crystals. How is that different from robbing us?" Duan Fei said indignantly.

"Deputy... Deputy Sect Master, they are now robbing our Seven Star Sword Sect," Chen Fan reminded.

"Uh..." Duan Fei's expression froze, and he said dejectedly, "Big Brother, what do you think we should do?"

Chen Fan also looked at Li Beifei, waiting for Li Beifei to make a decision.

Li Beifei was lost in thought. He was no longer the ignorant bumpkin who had just arrived in Beichen Star. After this period of time, he had learned about many of the top forces in Beichen Star.

Beichen Star only had one huge continent, divided into five regions. The eastern region was ruled by the Heavenly Sword Dynasty, the southern region was headed by the Xuan Tian Sword Sect, the western region was headed by the Lie Tian Sword Sect, and the northern region was a primitive forest with many monsters and no human forces.

The central region was controlled by a force called Zhong Yuan City.

These four major forces had all produced Quasi-Emperor level experts and were the four strongest forces in Beichen Star.

As a killer organization capable of contending with the Heavenly Sword Dynasty, the Blood Cloud Tower would not be weak.

Perhaps the Blood Cloud Tower had some old monsters sealed away until now. If the Seven Star Sword Sect were to confront them now, it would undoubtedly be like hitting a stone with an egg.

However, I'm not without support.

This Sect Master's master is the Human Race Holy Emperor. Damn it, they actually dare to target my Sword Sect. It seems like they're tired of living.

Thinking of this, Li Beifei sneered, "We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. I'd like to see what kind of ability this Blood Cloud Tower has to destroy my Seven Star Sword Sect."

"Elder Chen, inform everyone to let the disciples who are out immediately return to the sect to prevent the Blood Cloud Tower from becoming angry and hunting them down."

"Also, the Pure Spirit Pavilion will suspend business, just say that it was threatened by the Blood Cloud Tower and will not sell anymore."

Li Beifei issued two orders to Chen Fan in a row.

"Yes!"

Chen Fan responded, and then he smiled, "Sect Master, your trick of not selling pure spirit crystals is brilliant. Now our pure spirit crystals have become a popular refining material in the Heavenly Sword Dynasty. Even the Xuan Tian Sword Sect and the Lie Tian Sword Sect have sent people to inquire about the news and intend to purchase a large number of pure spirit crystals. But now that they are disturbed by the Blood Cloud Tower, everyone can't buy them, and they will definitely point the finger at the notorious Blood Cloud Tower. When that time comes, we won't even need to take action, and the Blood Cloud Tower will be sniped by the strongest forces."

"Sect Master is indeed the Sect Master, truly amazing."

Chen Fan gave Li Beifei a thumbs up.

"Uh... it's nothing, nothing," Li Beifei had an awkward smile on his face. He simply felt unhappy and didn't want to sell, he didn't think so much.

Chen Fan regarded Li Beifei's expression as humility, and his heart was filled with admiration for this young Sect Master.

Chen Fan did not disappoint Li Beifei. He quickly summoned all the sect disciples back to the sect, and then closed all the Pure Spirit Pavilions, including the one in Jian Yuan City, and announced that they had to suspend business because they had received threats from the Blood Cloud Tower.

For a time, countless cultivators criticized the Blood Cloud Tower's domineering behavior. Cultivators from other regions even mocked the Heavenly Sword Dynasty, saying that the Heavenly Sword Dynasty's management was incompetent and that the Blood Cloud Tower, a organization that angered both humans and gods, was allowed to exist.

Even the Xuan Tian Sword Sect, the Lie Tian Sword Sect, and Zhong Yuan City extended olive branches to the Seven Star Sword Sect, saying that as long as they joined them, they could obtain their protection.

Of course, the profits from the pure spirit crystals would naturally have to be shared with them by half. Although this was a bit of taking advantage of the situation, it was better than handing over 80% to the Blood Cloud Tower, right?

...

Heavenly Sword Dynasty Imperial Capital.

The news quickly spread to the royal family.

In the imperial study, the Heavenly Sword Emperor Murong Tianjian sneered after hearing the news reported by the spies, "Xuan Tian Sword Sect, Lie Tian Sword Sect, Zhong Yuan City, these three families really have hearts that will never die for my Heavenly Sword Dynasty. What a good show they are putting on."

"Pass on my order, as long as the Seven Star Sword Sect is still within the territory of my Heavenly Sword Dynasty, it will be protected by my Heavenly Sword Dynasty, and the tax rate will remain unchanged."

"Also, have Xun'er come over here."

"Yes!"

A voice rang out from the shadows.

Before long, the Heavenly Sword Dynasty Crown Prince Murong Xun, wearing a python robe, arrived at the imperial study.

"This son greets Father Emperor," Murong Xun saluted.

"You may dispense with the formalities!" When Murong Tianjian saw Murong Xun, a look of gratification appeared on his face. Murong Xun was eighteen years old this year, but his cultivation had already reached the peak of Void Breaking, making him one of the strongest geniuses in Beichen Star.

"Xun'er, Father Emperor has a task for you," Murong Tianjian said.

"Father Emperor, please speak!" Murong Xun's expression was serious.

Murong Tianjian said, "Have you heard of the Seven Star Sword Sect?"

Murong Xun nodded and said, "It is a sect established half a year ago outside Jian Yuan City. The disciples in the sect are all composed of rogue cultivators, but their cohesion is extraordinary. Although there is competition among the disciples, it is all just for show. This son dares to guess that if the Seven Star Sword Sect continues to develop in this way, it will become another powerful force in Beichen Star within a hundred years."

"Very good, you have not disappointed Father Emperor." Looking at this son whom he had high hopes for, Murong Tianjian was very satisfied.

"Father Emperor wants me to use the Blood Cloud Tower incident to befriend the Seven Star Sword Sect?"

Murong Xun asked.

"That's right. The Seven Star Sword Sect has a mysterious origin. Father Emperor sent spies to investigate half a month ago, but the information I received was very confusing."

A trace of contemplation appeared on Murong Tianjian's face.

"Their Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master are very mysterious, and the cultivation of the others is no more than the second level of the Life and Death Realm, but this is clearly not enough to possess a large number of pure spirit crystals. Therefore, Father Emperor guesses that there are stronger people behind them."

"Father Emperor, this child has a bold guess," Murong Xun said.

"Oh? Tell me about it," Murong Tianjian looked at Murong Xun with interest.

Murong Xun said, "I suspect that the Seven Star Sword Sect is related to the Seven Star Sword Emperor of 300,000 years ago."

Murong Tianjian's expression changed slightly, and a look of contemplation appeared on his face.

Murong Xun continued, "This child even thinks that the Sect Master of the Seven Star Sword Sect may have obtained the inheritance of the Seven Star Sword Emperor in another star field, so he returned to Beichen Star. After all, this is the hometown of the Seven Star Sword Emperor, and the Big Dipper Star was renamed Beichen Star because of the Sword Emperor."

"What you said is not unreasonable. It is strange that the Seven Star Sword Emperor did not leave behind a Dao lineage. Now it seems that it is likely that he left behind an inheritance in another star field, and it is still the Tianhuang Star, otherwise it cannot be explained why the Seven Star Sword Sect would possess so many pure spirit crystals."

"Xun'er, this matter must not be publicized. We only need to befriend the Seven Star Sword Sect."

Murong Tianjian said.

Murong Xun nodded. He also believed that it was only necessary to befriend the Seven Star Sword Sect. Although the Sword Emperor's inheritance was very attractive, being able to transport such a massive amount of pure spirit crystals to Beichen Star silently across star fields showed that the Seven Star Sword Sect was also very powerful, but it was only relatively low-key now.

At least the Sect Master of the Seven Star Sword Sect must have a cultivation that reaches the heavens.

"Father Emperor, is the Blood Cloud Tower's operation this time their instruction?" Murong Xun asked.

Upon hearing this, Murong Tianjian had a disdainful smile on his face and said, "Who else could it be besides them? Only those small forces don't know the origin of the Blood Cloud Tower."

"80%? 50%? Hehe, it's just the difference between playing the good cop and the bad cop."

"Xun'er, go. Father Emperor wants to see what means they have."

"Yes!"

Murong Xun saluted and then left.

After Murong Xun left, Murong Tianjian's face returned to calm.

"Younger brother, do you really hate me so much?"
