191: C191 Trouble

C191 Trouble

There's trouble.

Fifteen days later, a green figure appeared at the border of the Misty Mountains's Ancient Realm. This was Lu Shaoyou, who had just walked out of the Misty Mountains. It had been two months and five days since Lu Shaoyou entered the Misty Mountains. His cultivation base had already reached the intermediate Fourth Grade Martial Master realm.

"Snow Lion, let's return to the Flying Spirit Sect."

A deep roar was heard, and the Heaven Winged Snow Lion's massive body spread its wings.

A yellow light flashed under Lu Shaoyou's feet. Then, he jumped onto the huge body of the Heaven Winged Snow Lion.

"Look, there's a Flying Beast there, there's someone else on it."

"Such a huge Flying Beast, it should be at the Rank 3."

Many people were staring at the sky in shock, but they weren't too surprised. There were many people who had flying magic beasts at the border of Misty Mountains.

There were six people sitting in the Flying Spirit Sect Main Hall. These were Soul Stirring Poison Marshal Dong Wuming and the other five elders of the Flying Spirit Sect.

"Grand Elder, what do you think we should do about this?" In the main hall, Hu Nansheng asked.

Soul Stirring Poison Marshal Dong Wuming frowned slightly, then raised his eyebrows and said, "When Sect Master returns, let Sect Master make the decision."

In the sky above the Flying Spirit Sect, a whistling air current spread out, and a huge Heaven Winged Snow Lion landed in the square in front of Flying Spirit Sect Main Hall.

"The Sect Master has returned."

"Hello, Sect Master."

The surrounding disciples were all excited. They watched the Sect Master leap down from the demon beast's body. They were all fantasizing that one day, they would be able to possess such a Flying Beast.

The five elders quickly went to the outside of the hall to welcome him. After that, Lu Shaoyou also went to the main hall.

"Your aura seems to have become much stronger." In the main hall, Soul Stirring Poison Marshal Dong Wuming was staring at Lu Shaoyou with a surprised expression. He couldn't tell Lu Shaoyou's strength, but Lu Shaoyou's Qi was much stronger than two months ago.

Lu Shaoyou smiled faintly and asked, "Elders, do you have something to discuss?"

Lu Shaoyou knew that Soul Stirring Poison Marshal Dong Wuming wouldn't care about ordinary things. It would be unusual if Soul Stirring Poison Marshal Dong Wuming was here.

"We have encountered a troublesome matter recently." Zhou Yuhou said.

"What is it?" Lu Shaoyou asked.

Since Hu Nansheng had told him everything, Lu Shaoyou frowned.

It turned out that some problems had occurred in the two towns in the Luosha Sect that were accepted by the Flying Spirit Sect. Originally, one of the two towns in the territory of Luosha Sect was called Flower Gate Town. The other one was called Tuanshan Town. Both towns were not big. These two towns were not far from Misty Mountains. They were a famous medicinal herb market. Many Martial Artist and Spirit Master people came to these two towns to buy medicinal herbs.

Because of this, these two towns were very prosperous. Most of the tribute from the Luosha Sect came from these two towns.

And now, some trouble had appeared in both towns. There were a total of thirty or so medicinal herb weapon shops in the Flower Gate Town. They had joined forces to protest against Qiu Dong Dong's bad business, so the tribute had to be halved.

And in the entire Flower Gate Town, these thirty over medicinal herb weapon stores had the highest tribute. A large shop had a monthly tribute of over ten thousand gold coins. A small shop had a tribute of over 1,000 gold coins per month. A half year tribute was a huge amount.

If he really agreed, then Flying Spirit Sect would have to collect less than a million gold coins as tribute in half a year. But if he didn't agree to it, these shops would have to close down together. If these shops closed their doors, then the entire Flower Gate Town would be destroyed. The prosperity of the entire Flower Gate Town, the various industries, and all other businesses were all driven by medicinal herbs and weapon materials.

So now, the five elders were unable to make a decision. Even Dong Wuming furrowed his brows. It wouldn't be a problem for him to fight, but he wasn't good at dealing with these things.

It wouldn't be difficult to kill all those people, but the Flower Gate Town would be destroyed by then. At that time, the Flower Gate Town would only be a mess for the Flying Spirit Sect.

Although the Tuanshan Town didn't face the same kind of trouble as the Flower Gate Town, the situation there seemed to be more serious. There was a person called the Jiuhua Sect outside the Tuanshan Town, and he was also one of the outer forces of the Ghost Martial Sect. This time, they seemed to know that the internal strife in the Flower Gate Town was taking advantage of the opportunity to attack the Tuanshan Town, and wanted to recruit the Tuanshan Town into the Jiuhua Sect's department.

There were already many shops in the Tuanshan Town that had been harassed by the disciples of the Jiuhua Sect. They wanted to collect extra tribute, otherwise, they would destroy the shops and cause trouble. The owners of the Tuanshan Town could only come to the Flying Spirit Sect every day, and once the elders of the Flying Spirit Sect went over, those disciples of the Jiuhua Sect had already run away. If the ordinary disciples of the Flying Spirit Sect were guarding the Tuanshan Town, they would be surrounded and attacked by the disciples of the Jiuhua Sect. There was no way they could stop these disciples of the Jiuhua Sect.1

After Lu Shaoyou heard all of this, his face turned gloomy. These two incidents were really troublesome.

"Elder Hu, the territory of Tuanshan Town belongs to us. Since the Jiuhua Sect dares to invade openly, didn't you go to the Ghost Martial Sect to discuss this matter?" Lu Shaoyou asked after pondering for a while.

Hu Nansheng said, "Sect Master, I have already looked for the Ghost Martial Sect three times. The first two times, I heard that the Ghost Martial Sect sent a few disciples to send me away after a few perfunctory words. The third time I went, an outer circle Sect Elder met me. He said that they would ask the Jiuhua Sect about this matter. However, almost ten days had passed, and the Jiuhua Sect was still causing trouble in Tuanshan Town. We have no way to stop them. That's why we asked Grand Elder to come and discuss the countermeasures."

Lu Shaoyou's facial expression turned cold and gloomy. He looked at Lu Shaoyou's gloomy face. The five elders wanted to say something, but they didn't dare to open their mouths. All of them were staring at Dong Wuming.

"Sect Master, what do you plan to do?" Dong Wuming asked Lu Shaoyou.

"Elder Dong, do you feel anything?" After a while, Lu Shaoyou sighed and asked Dong Wuming.

"I'm afraid this matter isn't simple. It was as if someone was deliberately targeting the Flying Spirit Sect." After hesitating for a moment, Dong Wuming said.

"That's right. If my guess is correct, there are people behind everything in Flower Gate Town and Tuanshan Town. The incident in Flower Gate Town was caused by the people of Jiuhua Sect. If the two towns are in chaos at the same time, Flying Spirit Sect will not be able to deal with these two matters. They would be able to profit from these two matters.

There might be someone behind the Jiuhua Sect who is secretly giving orders." Lu Shaoyou said in a soft voice.

"Are you talking about the Ghost Martial Sect?" Dong Wuming's expression darkened as he asked Lu Shaoyou.

"Elder Dong, the Flying Spirit Sect has just destroyed the Luosha Sect. Recently, there has been a rumor that our Flying Spirit Sect has a mighty warrior in charge. The Jiuhua Sect was indeed much stronger than the Luosha Sect. But do you think they would dare to touch the Flying Spirit Sect at this time if no one was behind their backs? Furthermore, the Ghost Martial Sect had already arranged the surrounding territories. They wouldn't allow the powers in the outer region to monopolize all of them. At that time, it would be very difficult for it to control the situation. Under normal circumstances, if the Jiuhua Sect were to touch the territory of the Flying Spirit Sect, the Ghost Martial Sect would have stopped them a long time ago. Why would they let this matter go?" Lu Shaoyou said with a cold snort.

"That is indeed the case. But why would the Ghost Martial Sect do such a thing?" Soul Stirring Poison Marshal Dong Wuming was still puzzled.

Lu Shaoyou retracted his cold intent and laughed instead. He said, "That's because of you. As long as the Ghost Martial Sect didn't know your identity and why there were experts joining the Flying Spirit Sect, they would try their best to find out your identity. But they won't do it themselves in order to avoid offending you. The Jiuhua Mountain might have already become a chess piece of the Ghost Martial Sect. The Ghost Martial Sect wouldn't tell the Jiuhua Mountain that the experts of the Flying Spirit Sect were Spirit Marshal Expert. If the Jiuhua Mountain knew that the expert of the Flying Spirit Sect is a Spirit Marshal Expert, would they still think that the Jiuhua Mountain would dare to touch us?"

" Then what do you plan to do now? " Dong Wuming looked at Lu Shaoyou. He didn't ask anything else, but his eyes were filled with surprise towards Lu Shaoyou. With Lu Shaoyou's intelligence, he almost didn't dare to imagine that he was only a seventeen or eighteen year old young man.

Even he himself couldn't analyze this matter so clearly in such a short period of time.

"Elder Hu, you should make a trip to the Tuanshan Town now. Tell all the shops that they don't need to pay any tribute to the Flying Spirit Sect during this period of time until the matter is settled by the Flying Spirit Sect." Lu Shaoyou said.

"But, Sect Master, this will have a huge impact on us. Wouldn't that benefit the Jiuhua Sect?" Hu Nansheng said, feeling unconvinced in his heart.

"Elder Hu, let's wait for a while. We can wait for a few more months. When the time comes, we will settle the score with them together with the interest." Lu Shaoyou said coldly. He was not someone who would take advantage of others. If he didn't get his revenge, then he would be letting himself down.
