Chapter 842: Sect Leader Qing Is Here (Part 2)

"Stop talking, young mistress," Elder Gu interrupted.

As soon as Sect Leader Qing had appeared, he recognized him immediately.

Beyond the shock, there was also a hint of unease in his eyes.

If Amalia and Kenny Lin were simply disciples of the Green Lotus Sect, Elder Gu wouldn’t have been too surprised.

But the fact that the sect leader himself had been summoned meant they were no ordinary disciples.

Their relationship with Sect Leader Qing seemed to be that of equals.

"But he tried to kill me!" Hana Yun frowned.

"Oh? you think one Deity Transformation stage cultivator at the peak can’t save them? Then how many would it take?" Sect Leader Qing’s face was filled with an amiable smile, like that of a benevolent elder.

But if one looked closely, the smile didn’t quite reach his eyes.

Having nearly lost Master Lian and Senior Tian Wuya disciples under this woman’s hand was no small matter.

It’s not something that can explained away as a misunderstanding easily.

"Or are you implying that I can’t defeat him?" Sect Leader Qing’s calm gaze shifted toward Elder Gu, who could only smile bitterly.

"Sect Leader Qing, you overestimate me. How could I ever be a match for you?" Elder Gu hadn’t expected to run into such a formidable figure.

"Sect Leader Qing?" Hana Yun’s face instantly paled.

Sect Leader Qing’s cold gaze fell on Hana Yun.

He let out a faint snort and said, "Even your father, Taejin Yun, would have to give me some respect when he saw me. Yet here you are, a mere girl, even more arrogant and domineering than your father, daring to kill my sect’s disciples."

"Why would the Sect Master of the Green Lotus Sect personally come here?" Hana Yun’s face darkened, finally realizing the true extent of the disaster she had caused.

"Your people are allowed to kill my disciples, but I, their sect master, am not allowed to come here? Harmonywood City sure has a lot of nerve," Sect Leader Qing said in a cool, detached tone.

"Sect Leader Qing, there’s been a misunderstanding. We didn’t know they were disciples of the Green Lotus Sect. This is all a mistake..." Elder Gu hastily explained.

This was supposed to be just a power struggle between Harmonywood City and Skyward City.

If Green Lotus Sect got dragged into it, the City Lord would definitely be furious.

"If they weren’t disciples of Green Lotus Sect, but just common folk, would it still be a misunderstanding?" Sect Leader Qing’s cold gaze had already seen through everything.

Elder Gu’s face flushed red with embarrassment, but he could only repeat that it was a misunderstanding.

To challenge a colossal force like the Green Lotus Sect was nothing short of suicide for Harmonywood City.

As for Hana Yun, she was now too terrified to say a word, wishing she could shrink into her shell like a turtle so Sect Leader Qing wouldn’t notice her.

Sehyun Wang and Yuri were utterly stunned.

The situation had turned around so dramatically.

But what shocked them even more was the true identity of Amalia and Kenny Lin.

What kind of background did they have to make the Sect Leader of Green Lotus Sect rush over here by himself?

"Who... are you really?" Sehyun Wang murmured to herself, gazing in a daze at Kenny Lin’s figure in the sky.

Hearing her murmuring, Amalia glanced at her.

"This matter won’t be resolved so easily. You say it’s a misunderstanding, and that’s it? Does that mean the attacks we suffered were for nothing? Since when can a small city casually order the deaths of Green Lotus Sect disciples?" Kenny Lin sneered.

In his mind, Sect Leader Qing thought to himself that Harmonywood City wasn’t exactly a "small city."

After all, its City Lord of Harmonywood City was a cultivator in the Body Integration Stage, even stronger than himself.

But no matter how big Harmonywood City was, it couldn’t surpass the overall strength of the Green Lotus Sect.

Even if backed by a cultivator in the Mahayana Stage, they’d still have to give some respect.

"What do you want?" Hana Yun asked, her face flushed with anger and humiliation.

"A single phoenix feather, plus compensation of one billion top-grade spirit stones, and we’ll let this go," Kenny Lin said with decisiveness.

Hana Yun’s face turned bright red. "Impossible!"

Let alone a phoenix feather—even one billion top-grade spirit stones was out of the question.

Although Harmonywood City was a major city and collected a significant amount of spirit stones as tribute, it also had to support thousands of people within the mansion.

The monthly expenditures were astronomical.

There was no way she could produce a billion top-grade spirit stones.

Moreover, top-grade spirit stones were rare treasures.

Hardly anyone would use them as currency in trade.

Most cultivators saved them for their own cultivation.

Even fifty million top-grade spirit stones would be impossible for Harmonywood City to produce.

Sect Leader Qing had previously promised Amalia a billion top-grade spirit stones, but that was only a theoretical share.

If the Green Lotus Sect really could come out with a billion spirit stones directly, while not impossible, it would certainly be affected the sect economy itself.

Sect Leader Qing’s lips twitched as he listened, pretending to cover his mouth with his hand to conceal his reaction.

He had a pretty good idea why his Junior Master Uncle was demanding a billion top-grade spirit stones.

It was likely due to the previous incident.

Even if Harmonywood City were sold off entirely, it probably wouldn’t add up to that amount.

"Junior Master Uncle, a phoenix feather is an extremely rare material. It’s highly unlikely Harmonywood City has any. As for a billion top-grade spirit stones, even if you slaughtered them all, they still wouldn’t have enough," Sect Leader Qing said, sending a private message to Kenny Lin.

"Do you expect me to just let this go?" Kenny Lin sneered.

"Of course not. Anyone who dares to harm Green Lotus Sect disciples can’t be let off so easily. But I suggest you ask for something more practical, within their means. Otherwise, if you truly push Harmonywood City too far, you might end up with nothing, and it could even put you in danger," Sect Leader Qing quickly added. "You’ll eventually have to go out on adventures again."
