Chapter 417: Chapter 408: Seeing Bai Qing Again

"This Yin Yang Diagram, I negotiated the price early on and was ready to purchase it. What do you mean by coming in later and trying to take it?"

Bai Qing frowned slightly, standing in front of the stall. Although there was anger in her eyes, she didn’t immediately lose her temper.

"The True Meaning of Tao is contained within this diagram. If one reflects on it over time, the benefits are substantial. You may have agreed on a price, but 3,000 Source Stones seems too little. First come, first served? I offer 10,000 Source Stones; the highest bidder wins!"

The young man speaking was also a disciple of the Hidden Dragon Academy, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He looked at Bai Qing with an indifferent gaze, seemingly not taking her seriously at all.

"Moreover, when comparing 10,000 Source Stones to 3,000, whom the seller chooses to sell to depends on his own decision, doesn’t it?"

After speaking, the youth’s gaze turned to the middle-aged stall owner seated in front of the stall.

"This..."

Now the stall owner was in a difficult position. Normally, he would, of course, choose to sell to the person offering more money.

But at the moment, he could tell from the conversation between Bai Qing and the other person that both were from the Hidden Dragon Academy and not to be offended lightly. Leaning towards one might incur the jealousy of the other.

He was merely a person of the Nirvana Realm’s first transformation, doing small business. Being targeted by such talented and monstrous individuals would be no joy.

So, the middle-aged stall owner simply chose to remain silent, letting the two fight it out. Whoever won would get the diagram.

"We are both disciples of the Hidden Dragon Academy. We have to see each other sooner or later. Aren’t you going too far?" Bai Qing’s frown deepened.

At the same time, she was somewhat wary, for the young man before her gave her a dangerous feeling. His cultivation was at least at the eighth transformation of the Nirvana Realm, whereas she was only at the sixth.

"So what if we are both from the Hidden Dragon Academy?"

The youth sneered, "With interests at stake, who cares about the rest? You must be a naive scion, freshly stepped out of your family, inexperienced and unable to grasp the situation clearly."

"You!" Bai Qing’s expression grew darker. There was a time when she, in the Land of Tian Nan, was a Saintess, a genius listed as a candidate for the Great Emperor, and now in the vicinity of the Holy City, she had to be patient and restrained everywhere.

"Just 10,000 Xuan Stones. If you can afford them, the Yin Yang Diagram is yours. But from what I see, you probably don’t even have 10,000 Source Stones, do you?" The youth sneered.

Bai Qing’s expression turned unpleasant. Indeed, she did not have 10,000 Source Stones; 3,000 was all she had to her name.

"Come to think of it, those who manage to enter the Hidden Dragon Academy are all monstrous talents. Not having 10,000 Source Stones, could it be that you come from Tian Nan?" the young man looked at Bai Qing.

In the Great Thousand Plane, 10,000 Source Stones was indeed not a small amount for an ordinary Cultivator, but for the forces that could produce Saint Heirs, it was trivial. If Bai Qing could not produce the amount, there was only one possibility.

That was, her origin was Tian Nan, a place that had been sealed by a Barrier for many years, naturally lacking in Source Stones.

"I am indeed from Tian Nan. What of it?" Bai Qing retorted coldly.

"As it happens, Tian Nan has been sealed by a Barrier for many years with sparse Source Energy. You still managed to join the Hidden Dragon Academy; I find that quite curious. Oh right, I’ve heard that recently a person named Mo Wangchen has caused quite a stir within the Hidden Dragon Academy. He is also from Tian Nan, isn’t he?"

Hearing these words, Bai Qing didn’t respond. Yesterday, Mo Wangchen humiliated Jun Wentian with the Divine Bow, which she also witnessed. Her heart couldn’t help but feel emotional; he had reached such heights, even with her Immortal Bone Body, she couldn’t match him.

"Yesterday, he used an Emperor Weapon Divine Bow to defeat Jun Wentian. Without that Divine Bow, I don’t think he’d be so strong. Now, Jun Luoye is still in seclusion. Once he comes out, he will certainly seek to restore his brother’s face by finding Mo Wangchen."

"You people should not have come to this Holy City. In such a grand world, had you stayed obediently in Tian Nan, perhaps you might have achieved something in the future. Yet here, you still dare to be so arrogant, sooner or later you will be suppressed."

While speaking, the youth kept sneering, his eyes filled with disdain. Subconsciously, he still regarded Tiannan as a backwater region.

He believed that the people there should be regarded as inferior to those on other planes.

"You’re also merely at the eighth level of the Nirvana Realm, yet you dare to speak rashly and pass judgment on others. Even without his Divine Bow, Mo Wangchen would still easily suppress Jun Wentian. What gives you the right to look down on the people of Tiannan?"

Anger blazed in Bai Qing’s eyes. Although she had once been defeated by Mo Wangchen, his strength was undeniable. Rumors had long circulated that Mo Wangchen had achieved a Holy Rank Body, capable of clashing with the powers of a Saint Venerable.

Yet this youth, not only did he disparage Mo Wangchen, but he also looked down upon all Tian Nan Practitioners, which truly stirred up shared outrage.

"Humph!"

The youth let out a cold snort and then sneered, "Words are useless. Either hand over ten thousand Source Stones, or let’s see the truth beneath our hands. As for this Yin Yang Diagram today..."

Hisss!

However, before he could finish speaking, suddenly a whistling sound accompanied by a killing intent swept in from behind, causing the youth’s expression to drastically change.

Boom!

A muffled explosion sounded as an arrow burst behind the youth, the tremendous force tossing him into the air.

Caught completely off guard by this sudden attack, the youth was sent flying, his hair instantaneously disheveled as he crashed heavily onto the ground a short distance away, looking utterly disconcerted.

"Who’s there?!"

He scrambled up, furious, and bellowed as he looked around.

"You are not at the Hidden Dragon Academy. If you do not leave within ten breaths, I will not hesitate to let the next arrow pierce straight through your chest."

From among the crowd, Mo Wangchen stepped forward, holding the Divine Bow. The arrow that had just been fired was unmistakably from him.

"It’s you!" The youth’s expression changed as he recognized Mo Wangchen, who had shot Jun Wentian with an arrow the day before. This bow was feared by many.

"Who is this person?"

"Didn’t you hear what that youth just said? Inside the Hidden Dragon Academy, someone shot Jun Wentian with a Divine Bow. It must be him."

Surrounding them, the earlier argument between Bai Qing and the youth had already drawn a crowd of onlookers. Now as Mo Wangchen made his move, all attention was instantly focused on him.

"Humph!"

Staring at the Divine Bow in Mo Wangchen’s hand, the youth’s face darkened, but in the end, he dared not say more. After a cold huff, he beat a hasty retreat from the area.

"Thank you!" Bai Qing diverted her gaze from where the youth had been and looked towards Mo Wangchen. She furrowed her brows slightly before speaking.

Mo Wangchen smiled. "We are all from Tiannan. Besides, there’s no deep hatred or grievance between us, so there’s no need for thanks. Besides, that person was also verbally disparaging me. My intervention was also for my own sake."

PS: This is the second update. I have something important to say. The plot for the next few days is a bit difficult to write, so I will temporarily switch to four updates per day to sort out my thoughts. In a few days, I will resume the usual five updates per day.

Two more updates for today!
