The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2435: Chapter 2435: Get the Hell Out

Ren Chang’s eyes revealed a hint of a smile, which carried the forceful presence of the Eight Gods Pill Sect.

Perhaps in his view, the entry of the Eight God Pill Tower Branch into Hongmeng City was a benevolent gesture toward Hongmeng City.

”Frankly speaking, Hongmeng City currently has no resident cultivators or adventurers. In other words, in the short term, our Eight God Pill Tower Branch finds it difficult to earn substantial profit in Hongmeng City.”

”So our conditions for entry mainly comprise two points. Firstly, Hongmeng City needs to provide free premises for our Eight God Pill Tower Branch, with the free period lasting until our Eight God Pill Tower Branch decides to move out of Hongmeng City. Secondly, Hongmeng City must pay maintenance fees to our Eight God Pill Tower Branch regularly. The specific amount can be discussed gradually,” Ren Chang said with a light laugh.

Upon hearing Ren Chang’s two conditions, Jing Yan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

In Jing Yan’s view, Ren Chang was simply daydreaming. Jing Yan wouldn’t agree to the first condition, let alone regularly pay maintenance fees to the Eight God Pill Tower.

What exactly are those from the Eight God Pill Tower thinking?

It’s utterly laughable!

”City Lord Jing Yan, what do you think? If you can accept this, then we can discuss the specific amount for maintenance fees. This maintenance fee won’t be too high. I reckon City Lord Jing Yan’s Hongmeng City won’t refuse, right?” Ren Chang furrowed his brow upon hearing Jing Yan’s laughter, then promptly spoke.

”I am quite perplexed at the moment, Director Ren Chang. You seem to be not fully awake!” Jing Yan said coldly.

”Hmm? What do you mean, City Lord Jing Yan?” Ren Chang froze in his breath.

”Do I need to say more? For your Eight God Pill Tower to set up a branch in my Hongmeng City, either lease a place or purchase land directly from Hongmeng City. Where does the notion of us providing the premises for free come from? Is Director Ren Chang not merely waking up, but seriously proposing such laughable conditions? If Director Ren Chang is serious, then I can only assume you’re either muddled or feeling foolish? Haha, who exactly gave the Eight God Pill Tower such confidence!” Jing Yan spoke in a deep voice.

”City Lord Jing Yan, don’t hastily resort to angry words. You should consider the situation of your city. Without a Pill Tower presence, do you think Hongmeng City can attract cultivators?” said a member of the Eight God Pill Tower.

”Indeed, City Lord Jing Yan established the City Lord Mansion, presumably not just for personal residence, right?” remarked another person from the Eight God Pill Tower from Tiger Roar City, glancing at Jing Yan.

”Alright! I see the Eight God Pill Tower isn’t sincere, so there’s no need to waste any more time. Director Ren Chang, please feel free to leave!” Jing Yan stood up, face darkened, and said.

”City Lord Jing Yan, I hope you won’t regret this!” Director Ren Chang took a deep breath, surprisingly finding it hard to believe that Jing Yan was actually kicking them out, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke sternly.

”Get out!” Jing Yan waved his hand, and a surge of divine power erupted.

Divine power surged, enveloping Ren Chang and the other two, who tried to resist but soon found this terrifying force was beyond their resistance. Without surprise, the three figures flew out of the reception room.

After staggering a few steps, the three finally steadied themselves.

”Damn it!”

”Too arrogant! This Jing Yan, utterly reckless, who does he think he is!” cursed two members of the Eight God Pill Tower, whispering.

Director Ren Chang’s face also looked extremely unsightly. That Jing Yan actually told him to get lost! How long has it been since he heard that word? Someone actually dared to tell him, Ren Chang, regional headquarters director of the Eight God Pill Tower, to get lost.

”You will regret it! You definitely will! Before long, you’ll crawl to Tiger Roar City, pleading for our Eight God Pill Tower to establish a presence in your city!” Director Ren Chang cursed inwardly.

He dared not voice this curse, for he was still in the Hongmeng City Lord Mansion, and he wasn’t someone afraid of death. City Lord Jing Yan was overwhelmingly powerful; killing them with a mere wave of hand would be easy. Better to leave first and discuss later.

Shi Tianshuo was waiting outside the reception room the entire time. Seeing Ren Chang and the other two throw out, he realized the negotiations had broken down.

”Please, gentlemen!” Shi Tianshuo approached the three and said coldly.

These three were thrown out by the City Lord; they must have displeased him. In that case, Shi Tianshuo had no reason to be polite to them.

”Hmph!” Ren Chang glared harshly at Shi Tianshuo before saying, ”Let’s go!”

The three exited the City Lord Mansion, took the street, and shortly left through the city gate.

”Everyone, listen up! The Eight God Pill Tower will never set up here in Hongmeng City!” Ren Chang shouted outside the city gate and then rapidly flew away with the two subordinates.

”What happened?”

”Director Ren Chang seemed to just say the Eight God Pill Tower will never set up here in Hongmeng City?”

”Wasn’t it said before that the Eight God Pill Tower was going to set up in Hongmeng City? Didn’t Director Ren Chang come here to discuss this matter with Hongmeng City? But now, is it possible that the negotiations fell apart?”

”Surely the negotiations broke down! Didn’t you see how bad Director Ren Chang’s face looked when he came out?”

”Hongmeng City’s got some guts! To actually... actually dare to offend the Eight Gods Pill Sect! What is City Lord Jing Yan thinking, does he not plan to establish any Pill Towers in Hongmeng City anymore? Without a Pill Tower, who would want to settle here?”

Nearby, many cultivators heard Ren Chang’s angry shout upon leaving. These cultivators gathered to discuss the matter, easily concluding that Hongmeng City’s cooperation with the Eight God Pill Tower had broken down.

If Hongmeng City didn’t have a Pill Tower established, its attraction for adventurers would be diminished. Purchasing a few elixirs would require a trip to other cities, who would choose Hongmeng City to rest or reside permanently?

...

Tiger Roar City, City Lord Mansion.

”City Lord, this is the course of the events. That Jing Yan, oblivious to the great heights, doesn’t understand anything. Subordinate believes this person fundamentally doesn’t comprehend the implications of refusing the Eight God Pill Tower’s establishment in Hongmeng City.” Ren Chang stood before City Lord Chai Chong.

After returning to Tiger Roar City, he immediately came to see City Lord Chai Chong and reported the process of his collaboration discussion with Hongmeng City in detail.

”This person is truly arrogant! Since he believes he’s so formidable, that’s excellent! Spread the message that if any Pill Tower opens in Hongmeng City, then they must not collaborate with my Eight Gods Pill Sect. Anyone who dares cooperate with Hongmeng City becomes an enemy of my Eight Gods Pill Sect!” Chai Chong’s cold voice spoke lowly.

”Understood, I will transmit the message immediately.” Director Ren Chang replied, gritting his teeth, feeling he had lost face in Hongmeng City.

That very day, the message was released from the Eight Gods Pill Sect’s official channels. Establishing a Pill Tower in Hongmeng City meant no collaboration with the Eight Gods Pill Sect. Whoever befriends Hongmeng City befriends the Eight Gods Pill Sect.

The message caused a stir across the Thunder Domain. Subsequently, even several major forces took notice of this message. They realized that Hongmeng City might have thoroughly incited the wrath of the Eight Gods Pill Sect.

For the sake of establishing a branch Pill Tower in Hongmeng City and cross the Eight Gods Pill Sect, that would definitely not be wise. Even those major forces mainly focused on operating Pill Towers, competing directly with the Eight Gods Pill Sect, were wary of this.
