Chapter 409: Courtesy first, then attack Gu Yuanqing asked: "What if I'm alive? What if I'm dead?" Xiao Liyang said: "If they are dead, then it is their fate. If they are still alive, I will ask for this favor from you, fellow Taoist." Qin Anrong, who was standing aside, looked nervous. Although she also wanted the Beiming Immortal Sect to take action to destroy the Qianyuan Sect, she also knew that this was simply impossible. Xiao Liyang would never become a mortal enemy with a sect that possessed a celestial being just for a favor he had once done. At least, before figuring out the opponent's strength! And now, she was more worried that the other party would say that her senior brother was dead. Gu Yuanqing chuckled and said, "Is that so? I thought you were here to call for justice and to defend the Beihai Sect." Xiao Liyang said, "Fellow Daoist, you are joking. My Bei Ming Xian Zong has always valued peace and never done anything overbearing. Even if the other party is a small sect, we will convince them with reason." "Well, since you said so, I will tell you the truth. The person is indeed still alive, but I cannot sell this favor to you like this." Gu Yuanqing stood in the air with his hands behind his back, looking indifferent. "I understand what you mean, fellow Daoist. I am here to serve as a bridge builder. For the rest, please name the price." Xiao Liyang said. Qin Anrong from Ziqi Palace wanted to say something but hesitated, but in the end she didn't dare to interrupt. Gu Yuanqing smiled faintly and said, "Daoyou, you have misunderstood. The six sects in the North Sea came together to threaten my Qianyuan Sect. I gave them a chance, but it is obvious that they did not cherish it. In this case, they have brought this upon themselves."
Xiao Liyang said, "Daoyou, God is merciful after all. It is not easy for the monks in the North Sea to practice. Although they are disrespectful, their crimes are not punishable by death. Daoyou, why don't you give them some leniency for my sake? What do you think?" Gu Yuanqing stared at Xiao Liyang, then glanced at Qin Anrong and said, "Are you here at the invitation of Ziqi Palace?" Xiao Liyang nodded and said, "Since you asked, I will tell you the truth. Before I entered the Dao, I received favors from the Purple Qi Palace and was given the Kunpeng Order as a promise. I came here today to repay this favor." Gu Yuanqing sneered: "You owe someone a favor, so you want to ask me for a favor, but... I have no relationship with you, isn't it too abrupt?" Feng Haoran on the side said in a deep voice: "Senior, you may not know that my master is the law enforcement elder of Beiming Xianzong and is in charge of external affairs. How many people want to owe my master a favor but have not yet done so!" "My disciple, please do not speak nonsense. These are just the mundane affairs of the sect." As one of the three great celestial beings in the Beiming Immortal Sect, he has a high status in the sect, second only to the sect master. Moreover, because the Beiming Immortal Sect is good at refining immortal boats and selling them to the outside world, it has friendly relations with many sects. Xiao Liyang is also quite popular in the cultivation world. Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "If that's the case, it would seem a bit tactless if I don't give you face." Xiao Liyang said: "Fellow Daoist, please don't say that. Walking in this cultivation world means having one more friend and one more way. Your sect has been secluded from the world for a long time. Fellow Daoist Gu gave me a favor today, and I will return a favor to you in the future. How about this, both of us can be happy and avoid the feud of life and death, isn't it wonderful?" After hearing this, Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "That makes sense. Well, I'll give you a favor and spare the lives of the people from the six major sects in the North Sea." "Thank you, fellow Daoist!" Xiao Liming's eyes lit up and he said with a bow. "Don't rush to criticize me, I haven't finished speaking yet." "Please speak, fellow Daoist! But what compensation do you want? Please name your price. As long as it's reasonable, I will agree to it on behalf of the sect above the North Sea." Xiao Liyang's face was full of smiles. Gu Yuanqing chuckled and said, "I don't want the things anymore. Anyone who comes to my Qianyuan Island will do menial work on the island for a hundred years, which will be considered as atonement for their sins." After these words were spoken, Xiao Liyang's expression froze slightly. "No, I am a disciple of Ziqi Palace and a dignified cultivator. My senior brother is the leader of a sect and a half-step celestial being. How can we possibly be menial servants? Even though you are a senior master, you are going too far!" Qin Anrong said anxiously. Xiao Liyang also frowned slightly: "Yes, since you are willing to give me a favor, why not do the good thing to the end..." Gu Yuanqing said with a smile: "Do good things to the end? Do you think I am such a great saint? Daoyou came here at your invitation, and I spared their lives, which is a favor to you and Beiming Xianzong. Don't mention anything else. Otherwise, everyone will come to Qianyuan Sect to test it in the future. Anyway, there is no loss if they cause trouble. Wouldn't Qianyuan Sect never have peace? This person, if he does something wrong, he must pay the price. It has been like this since ancient times. What do you think, Daoyou?" Xiao Liyang sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist, you may want to reconsider it. After all, I don't want to make things difficult for you." "Make things difficult for me? Does Elder Xiao mean to use courtesy before force?" Gu Yuanqing didn't care.
Xiao Liyang said: "After all, Ziqi Palace came here with Kunpeng's order, so this matter is not just about my personal favor and face, but also the promise of Beiming Xianzong. Although I don't want to embarrass you, I can't let my fellow cultivators think that Beiming Xianzong is untrustworthy, so...if that really comes to that, please forgive me!" Gu Yuanqing shook his head and smiled, saying, "When people do things, they always find excuses for themselves. It seems that if they are wrong, they can't blame themselves with excuses, but they have to do it. However, I still want to remind you that cultivation is not easy, so be cautious. If you really make a move, it will not be solved by a simple excuse. If you are not careful, you will lose everything." "Can I understand that your words are a threat to me and the Beiming Immortal Sect?" The smile on Xiao Liyang's face completely disappeared. No one had done this for many years. Gu Yuanqing said calmly: "It's not a threat, but a persuasion. But if you want to understand it this way, it doesn't matter. After all... it's actually the same." Xiao Liyang suddenly laughed: "Qianyuan Sect is really confident. Well, since the second thing can't be discussed, let's talk about the third thing first." "Oh? The third thing? What does this mean?" Xiao Liyang said indifferently: "That is the Sea-shaking Mysterious Boat in your hand!" "This seems to have nothing to do with you, right?" "How can it be okay? The Sea-Shaking Mysterious Boat was originally made by our Beiming Immortal Sect. Although the Seven Sects of the Beihai Sea bought it, they could only use it themselves. Now, the six Sea-Shaking Boats have fallen into your hands. The boats contain the secret techniques of our Beiming Immortal Sect and cannot fall into the hands of outsiders. Therefore, please return them to me!" "Return?" There was some surprise in Gu Yuanqing's eyes. It can even be said that because the elder of Beiming Immortal Sect had always been polite, Gu Yuanqing had some goodwill towards him before, but after hearing these words, this goodwill was completely gone.
