Wanbao Pavilion.
The Pavilion Master, Chen Donglai, was a big shot who could make the entire Qingdi City tremble with a stomp of his foot.
At this moment, he was prostrate on the ground, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.
"A bunch of good-for-nothings! I was only imprisoned for ten years, and the performance in Qingdi City is already so dismal!"
Standing with his hands behind his back in front of him was a strong individual, carrying a battle saber and with disdainful eyes.
Ba Jiu Dao, one of the four Supremes of the Fengyue Continent!
He was one of the Vice Presidents of the Black Dragon Merchant Guild. Ten years ago, he was imprisoned in the Tian Yuan Divine Prison along with the President, Black Heaven Demon Lord.
Now, Black Heaven Demon Lord was still being held.
He, however, had been released after serving his sentence.
He came to check on the Black Dragon Merchant Guild's business in Qingdi City and found it to be a mess.
Chen Donglai said aggrievedly, "Lord Ba, you don't know the full story."
"After you were arrested, a force called Xingyun Pavilion monopolized the business in several nearby cities, leaving us with no path forward."
"Xingyun Pavilion?" Ba Jiu Dao laughed in anger. "The Xingyun Pavilion that once knelt at my feet, begging me to bestow upon them a Cultivation Technique?"
"How audacious! They dared to bully me while I was imprisoned!"
"They never dreamed that the President would plead with Lord Zhou, allowing me to be released early."
Lord Zhou?
Chen Donglai had never heard of him, but anyone who could make Black Heaven Demon Lord plead for them was absolutely a god-like existence.
A small figure like him could only look up in awe.
"You wait here. I'll go to Xingyun Pavilion and take the Pavilion Master's head!" Ba Jiu Dao said with a cold grin.
Just then.
The shopkeeper rushed in, reporting in a panic, "Pavilion Master Chen, this is bad! There's a young man holding a Black Heaven Token who wants to take our Wanbao Pavilion's treasure, the nine nether jade dew."
Chen Donglai was surprised.
Black Heaven Token?
Ever since Black Heaven Demon Lord was imprisoned in Tian Yuan Divine Prison, there had been no Black Heaven Token in the world.
Where did this young man get it?
He cast an inquiring look at Ba Jiu Dao: "Lord Ba, what do you think?"
Ba Jiu Dao glared at him impatiently: "Still thinking?"
"Not to mention this Black Heaven Token is definitely fake, even if it were real, the Wanbao Pavilion in Qingdi City has declined to such an extent, how could we let someone take the nine nether jade dew?"
Chen Donglai gave a bitter smile.
The nine nether jade dew was the Wanbao Pavilion's only remaining attraction. It was what drew many strong individuals to linger there.
If even that was taken away, the Wanbao Pavilion's business would plummet.
"Throw him out!" Ba Jiu Dao said without hesitation.
Chen Donglai nodded repeatedly and immediately called over a few men to prepare to go.
At this moment, a sharp light flashed in Ba Jiu Dao's eyes, and he said, "Wait, I'll go with you!"
"Daring to use a fake Black Heaven Token to try and swindle items from Wanbao Pavilion, merely throwing him out would make people think our Wanbao Pavilion is easy to bully!"
"This is a good opportunity to make an example of him and let those people from Xingyun Pavilion know that I, Ba Jiu Dao, am back!"
"You go first, I'll be right there!"
He leaped up, soaring into the air, his powerful gaze sweeping around.
He needed to confirm if there were any accomplices of this person nearby.
He had to capture them all in one go!
Chen Donglai led his subordinates, carrying long poles and short sticks, rushing down from the upper floor with an imposing Aura.
Zhou Qingyu was leisurely gnawing on the free fruit provided by Wanbao Pavilion, with his legs crossed.
Noticing their hostile intentions, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Oh? What's going on here?"
Chen Donglai's Face was grim, and he coldly shouted, "You know full well!"
"Speak! Who sent you, daring to come to my Wanbao Pavilion with a fake Black Heaven Token to swindle things?"
Fake Black Heaven Token?
Zhou Qingyu swayed the dark token in his hand in astonishment: "Little Hei knelt and begged me to accept this."
"Don't tell me you don't even recognize your own President's token?"
Black Heaven Demon Lord, Little Hei?
Chen Donglai's body swayed. How incredibly audacious!
He actually dared to refer to their Black Dragon Merchant Guild's President with such a derogatory term!
"Young man, you truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" Chen Donglai was so angry that he jabbed his stick into the ground.
The wooden long stick penetrated more than a foot into the ground.
This showed his profound Cultivation Technique, far exceeding that of ordinary people.
When he looked at the token in Zhou Qingyu's hand, he laughed in anger even more: "A black Black Heaven Token?"
He backhanded a slap across the shopkeeper's Face.
"Are you blind? The Black Heaven Token is bronze-colored, where is there a black Black Heaven Token?"
"You actually came running to report to me that a Black Heaven Token appeared?"
"I think you don't want to be a shopkeeper anymore!"
The shopkeeper covered his Face and said aggrievedly, "Pavilion Master, this kid insisted that this was the Black Heaven Token, and I wasn't sure, so I called you."
Chen Donglai was so angry that he gave him another slap: "You believe everything he says?"
"Then what's the use of your brain?"
When he looked at Zhou Qingyu again, he gave a thumbs-up, laughing in anger:
"I have been a Pavilion Master for many years and have seen all kinds of strange people, thinking my experience was extraordinary."
"But, you have truly opened my eyes!"
"There is actually such a bold person as you in this world!"
"Today, you won't be leaving here in one piece!"
He waved his hand, and the thugs immediately surrounded him, looking ferocious.
They only awaited the Pavilion Master's command to beat this audacious fellow until his own parents wouldn't recognize him.
Zhou Qingyu was puzzled: "No, you don't even recognize the black Black Heaven Token?"
"Is your level too low?"
Level too low?
Chen Donglai's mouth twitched.
Although the Wanbao Pavilion in Qingdi City's reputation was not what it once was, in Qingdi City, he was still a big shot whom everyone gave Face to.
In Zhou Qingyu's mouth, he was actually 'too low level'.
"Kid, if I'm low-level, then there's no Advanced level in this Qingdi City!"
He didn't want to waste any more words with Zhou Qingyu and said, "Attack!"
"Wait!" Zhou Qingyu took a bite of fruit and frowned, "Call Ba Jiu Dao over to me!"
"You don't recognize this token, but he should."
Upon hearing this, Chen Donglai's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Silence! Is Ba Jiu Dao's name something you can call?"
Ba Jiu Dao was right here in Wanbao Pavilion!
This guy dared to be so disrespectful to Ba Jiu Dao. If he heard it, he would definitely erupt in a thunderous rage!
"Lord Ba?" Zhou Qingyu chuckled dumbfounded: "Little Daozi, who served me tea and water, became a Lord after being released from prison?"
Hearing this, Chen Donglai was scared out of his wits and frantically shouted:
"Hit him! Hit him now! Tear his mouth apart, don't let him speak again!"
Just as a group of thugs was about to swarm forward.
Ba Jiu Dao flew down, his voice slightly deep: "Why haven't you taken him down yet?"
Chen Donglai trembled, cupping his hands and saying, "Lord Ba, this child is lawless! He is simply lawless!"
"He repeatedly insulted you, Lord Ba. Just beating him up, your subordinate cannot endure this grievance. I must personally break his legs to vent my anger."
Ba Jiu Dao was amused, his powerful voice reverberating: "Where did this ignorant fellow come from, daring to be presumptuous on my, Ba Jiu Dao's, territory?"
Chen Donglai was shaken, and he quickly shouted, "Are you all deaf? Why aren't you hitting him?"
Ba Jiu Dao looked in the direction the thugs were facing.
A Face so familiar he couldn't be more familiar with it was looking at him with a half-smile.
At this eye contact, Ba Jiu Dao felt as if he had been struck by a thousand bolts of lightning, scared to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!
