Chaiyuan got sadder the more he said. “All of you might think that our wind bear race when crafting xuanxing bamboo arrows, is hiring people and sucking the blood of the workers. But my Chai Family has always treated them well. Every arrow crafted, 4 grade 3 crystals will be returned to the worker. If we don’t have such a money-making method, then how would the hundred over thousand of us survive? Actually, with our Chai Family ability, we can do any money-making business we want. It is just that we can’t bear to give up. We are thinking about Gantian Mountain. If we don’t have our spiritual blacksmiths, artifact blacksmiths, we will be locked down by the Thousand City Alliance. What if they don’t sell the xuanxing bamboo arrows to use in the future!”
The moment he said that the meeting hall was in a buzz, many of them slightly nodded their heads, as they agreed with it.
Even people sitting on the viewer stands cheered out.
Zong Shou continuously nodded his head. Those words made sense, and their Gantain Mountain couldn’t have their necks grabbed by other people.
Chaiyuan spoke for a long while, tears rolling down his face, his expression was filled with pain. A full 8 minutes later, he walked down from the speaking platform.
Then, it was Hu Qianqiu. He had a whole other style–a aggressive a lively argument.
He was a head shorter than Chaiyuan. However, the moment his 9 feet tall burly body stood on the altar, there was a heavy suppressive power which caused the entire hall to turn silent.
Squinting his eyes to look at Chaiyuan, Hu Qianqiu laughed coldly.
“10 grade 3 beast crystal sales price, but that is just the price today. 2 months ago, before your wind bear and pill crane races monopolized it, it was 50 grade 3 crystals. The quality was even worse than now! Out of 10 arrows, there were 2 that couldn’t be fired. Old Chaiyuan, do you know how many Gantian children your xuanxing bamboo arrows killed?”
Chaiyuan’s face changed slightly, following which he was like an old monk focusing, not moving at all.
Zong Shou felt weird when he looked on, “Weren’t they best friends? Why are they like enemies now?”
“They fell out long ago!”
Renbo continued, his face filled with admiration, “In the past, the iron tiger and wind bear race had a good relationship, close like brothers. It was because the ruler had a real charm to him. They also worked together to go up against the ruler’s fox race. However, since your highness established this Meeting Hall and allowed them to discuss most of the large policy decisions. These monster race tribes along with the humans were constantly in debate and dispute. On the contrary, the Zong family has a supernatural position now. However, there are times when the 2 of them have similar interests and they would be as close as brothers. How cunning.”
Zong Shou kept silent. He didn’t expect this to happen at that time.
On the side of Hu Qianqiu, he was still sharply shouting out, “This xuanxing bamboo arrow has already been eliminated by our Gantian Mountain army. So what if others don’t sell it to use a much stronger Xuan iron heavy arrow. Using such low-quality arrows will only cause people to die! The price is too expensive, and not being able to purchase enough of them will cause a reduction in our hunting gains. It is not beneficial to government policies. Moreover, the martial arts spirit in our Gantain Mountain is really strong, and our trading is better than that of numerous countries. It isn’t like they would die from hunger if they don’t do this industry. If they could all take up arms our Gantian Mountain will have hundreds over thousand more martial experts!”
The people beneath the speaking altar cheered out, naturally, some people sighed. Zong Shou only found it weird. Hu Qianqiu’s words also didn’t seem to be wrong, how confusing.
However, he could see that the fox race and human race people were all listening on from the sides. Those people who were agreeing or breaking tables were those with related interests.
Hu Qianqiu continued as he waved his arms, seeming that he was filled with energy. In the end, he seemed to feel like he wasn’t as majestic, so he ripped his shirt, showing his tight muscles and coldly sweeping everyone present.
“Anyways, today this topic cannot be passed! Whoever raises his hand, I will fight him to the death!”
Chaiyuan was instantly shivering from rage, causing the entire meeting hall to be deathly silent.
Zong Shou was stunned when he heard that, “Is this a threat? Didn’t I say that this was not allowed?”
“This doesn’t count!”
Renbo shook his head, “Fight him to death has many meanings. As long as the overlord country duke restricts himself to this meeting it isn’t against the rules. He does not need to openly kill or set fire, there are many dark methods he could use like set up rumors or crush people on the markets.”
Seeing that everyone was threatened by him, Hu Qianqiu felt delightful, he turned around and bowed towards Zong Shou.
Zong Shou’s eyes were opened wide, only to see several black things suddenly rise from the meeting seats.
He couldn’t help but open his mouth to remind, but it was already too late. Those black shadows all smashed on Hu Qianqiu’s head and exploded, dying his body in black and red color.
Hu Qianqiu looked at his body and turned around in fury.
‘This is black dog blood! Who did this?”
The entire meeting Hall was surprisingly silent. Everyone had an innocent and shocked expression.
Hu Qianqiu couldn’t find any suspicious person at all, lastly, he turned his gaze towards Chaiyuan before he hollered, “It must be you! Last time I just asked people to throw 2 banana peels and now you take revenge by throwing a bucket of black dog blood. In front of the ruler, you dare to do that! I am not finished with you…”
His body was fast as a shadow as he pounced over in rage. Chaiyuan was caught off guard, his expression was one that said ‘you are looking at the wrong person’. As he heard more of what he said he was furious.
“Oh, so that banana peel was you! This means that the 2 eggs on my head 4 months ago were also you right!”
Hu Qianqiu scoffed coldly and didn’t reply. He was on the initiative directly punching out with a “thousand-mile tiger roar” towards Chaiyuan’s face. Chaiyuan was a vicious person, not dodging at all, a bear palm smashing out causing Hu Qianqiu to stumble backward.
The 2 of them were Xuanwu ancestors, their true qi was suppressed. However, with the hundreds of thousands of kilograms of the strength of their body going all out, they dragged down the 10 over people around in an instance.
The people around were anxious as they looked on, and they hurriedly rushed in to try to save their master. Some tried to persuade them not to find but they would also kick and punch in. To take revenge and vent their frustration.
All of a sudden, this meeting hall was in chaos. Hundreds of people in a messy fight, like a city fight. Banana peels and eggs flying, dog blood covering one.
Zong Shou took the hammer and smashed the golden bell at the side, shouting several times for silence but it didn’t change anything.
Seeing several items fly over, Zong Shou sidestepped, only to see several apples smash to pieces on the wall behind him.
He thought to himself about how dangerous it was to nearly be hit by these flying bullets. Which person that doesn’t want his life threw those things over.
Luckily, the last time, he had experienced this before, so naturally, he adapted to it this time.
As expected Chuxue, Renbo and he hid under the table and interestingly looked at the scenes ahead.
Chuxue was amusing, taking out several cakes and tidbits from the heaven and earth bag, several plates and placed it in front of the 3 of them. Unfortunately, he couldn’t drink and could only replace it with some hundred flowers spiritual juice from the common people’s path.
Just a mouth of that item could recover a large amount of true qi and spiritual energy. Its taste was also no different from that Huang grade and even Xuan grade celestial brews.
“Oh! Uncle Hu’s tiger roar back to the forest is used well! Compared to half a year ago it has improved. In just several months he could step into the ascended realm.”
Seeing Hu Qianqiu roar out, hugging the arms or legs of people around him to act like he was trying to stop the fight. However, he was restricting the ten over people who Chaiyuan was beating up. A bright light shone in Zong Yuan’s eyes.
“As expected a practical fight can train one. Speaking of which who was the one who threw the black dog blood out? In front of me, he is bold. Is it Chaiyuan? I need to punish him heavily!”
Only to see that the black dog blood was fired by several specific spiritual artifacts like it was planned. As for who controlled it and who brought it in, no one knew about it.
This tiegang hall suppressed true qi, the spiritual sense was unable to be spread out. Many things were unable to be found out.
“That might not be it!”
“Renbo smiled, filled with deep meaning, “Maybe Hu Qianqiu is acting it all out on his own. Based on what I know, the Chai and He Families working together. They were a little stronger, so the case most probably would have been passed today. Fighting in the meeting hall and then dragging some time to find another method to counter-attack. Today, these few have already used such a move to the greatest extent. Not only Hu Qianqiu and Chaiyuan, but the Ling family, He family, and the human race might have stirred the waters to try to get something good through it…”
Zong Shou listened on, feeling his head hurt. This thing was a little complicated. As expected, he wasn’t a person to be a ruler.
He decided not to bother about all these, eating whilst he focused on the battle, “That palm from uncle Chai was strong, what great martial path attainment. The progress was no lower than uncle Hu. At most, 2 days later, he would be able to step into grade 7. That’s not good! He got caught off guard, how despicable!”
He saw that when Chaiyuan was sweeping all about in an invincible manner, there was suddenly someone who silently went behind him, smacking out with a stick. This vast country duke was nearly knocked out.
Hu Qianqiu wasn’t any better. His head was bleeding and he was panting heavily.
Renbo was startled when he heard that. How did Zong Shou deduce that both of them could break through to an ascended ancestor?”
Although he wasn’t that deep in the martial path, he knew that it was hardest to deduce when one would break through to the ascended realm. One had to accumulate and accumulate. Even grade 9 experts found it hard to tell so how could Zong Shou?
In the next instance, Zong Shou said bitterly, “How can this happen? How can it be like this? What an insult to me!”
Chaiyuan scolded out when he heard that, every time he returned, the happiest person seeing all the mess was him.
