Chapter 439 (1/2)
Chapter 439: 439
That disdainful shout immediately drew everyone’s attention .
A man in a fiery-red robe with an exquisite tower symbol on its sleeve appeared in front of everyone, looking contemptuously at Long Chen and the others .
“Huo Wufang!”
Both the Righteous and Corrupt disciples let out startled cries . Even the mustached man opened his eyes to glance at him before once more closing them .
Huo Wufang came from the Pill Tower, and no one dared offend them . That was because everyone’s medicinal pills were bought from the Pill Tower .
The Pill Tower was a neutral power . But even the Corrupt experts, ones who would slaughter countless innocents, would stay far, far away from alchemists guilds .
It could be said that Huo Wufang was the one who possessed the strongest background of anyone present .
“If my Huayun Sect is a peddler, then your Pill Tower is nothing more than a group of sanctimonious swindlers . Neither of us is any better than the other, and neither should be insulting the other . ” Zheng Wenlong smiled coldly .
When it came to the Huayun Sect, many people didn’t know of its existence . But practically everyone knew of the Huayun Pavilions .
The Huayun auction houses were spread throughout the world . It could be said that wherever there was business to do, there was a Huayun Pavilion around . That was enough to prove just how powerful the Huayun Sect was .
The Pill Tower had almost monopolized the medicinal pill market . However, it was only ‘almost’, in other words, not completely . A tenth of medicinal pills on the market came from the Huayun Pavilions .
This action of theirs was clearly getting in the way of the Pill Tower’s profits . But in all these years, the Huayun Sect had not fallen . That was thought-provoking .
“What did you say? Who is the swindler?!” raged Huo Wufang .
“Ah, forget about it . Some things don’t have any meaning once they’re said . Could it be you really want me to expose your true face?” Zheng Wenlong continued, “As a person, don’t have such a malicious mouth, unless you have never done anything immoral . ”
“You!” Huo Wufang’s expression sunk .
Zheng Wenlong could not be bothered to deal with Huo Wufang any further . Others might fear his Pill Tower, but the Huayun Pavilion was not afraid .
“Long Chen, what do you say? My hand’s getting tired of being raised like this,” laughed Zheng Wenlong .
Long Chen immediately clapped his hand, completing that oath . He laughed, “With brother Zheng’s heroism, I’m sure that as long as I don’t die, you’ll definitely make a huge profit in the future . ”
Long Chen was starting to like the Huayun Sect more and more . Although they always called themselves businessmen who only cared about profit, he could sense their heroism . They were true men .
That was especially true of those experts following Zheng Wenlong . Even though he had made such a huge decision to join hands with Long Chen, they hadn’t even batted an eye . That was truly worthy of praise .
“Hahaha, then brother Long, you had better live for a few extra years so your brother can profit more,” laughed Zheng Wenlong .
“Sorry, but he won’t be living for that long . Your business transaction is doomed to suffer a loss . ”
Han Tianyu, who had been given the cold shoulder for all this time, finally had a chance to interject . At this time, his expression was slightly icy, as he was unable to accept being ignored like this .
“Oh? I don’t think so . From when I was seven, I joined the Huayun Sect, and I didn’t have anyone to rely on . I walked to my current point relying on just my two eyes . I don’t believe my eyesight will fail me this time . ” Zheng Wenlong smiled slightly, revealing his powerful confidence and pride .
That was the point the Huayun disciples were most proud of . They didn’t need anyone else; they had relied entirely on themselves for their current accomplishments .
Compared to those who had relied entirely on their powerful families to grow, they were even stronger and more self-confident . And so they were filled with gratefulness and wors.h.i.+p toward the Huayun Sect .
Just now, Hua Wufang had only insulted them as being peddlers, which they didn’t care about . But if he had insulted the Huayun Sect, they would have immediately attacked him . Even if they weren’t a match for him, even if they had to die, they would not permit anyone to blaspheme their sect .
When it came to the disciples’ feelings for their sect, there were few sects that could compare to the Huayun Sect . Although they were often called peddlers, no one dared doubt their power . Otherwise, how could they have managed to go head-on against the Pill Tower?
The Pill Tower’s strength was obvious, while the Huayun Sect’s power was hidden . The Huayun sect was always low-key, rarely fighting with others . They followed the maxim that being amiable would make you rich .
However, once someone attempted to cut off their profits, they would reveal their fangs . Cutting off their livelihood was equivalent to killing their parents to them, and that was a blood debt that had to be repaid .
The Huayun Sect’s history stretched so far that back that people had already forgotten what had happened with them . In any case, these disciples only knew that the Huayun Pavilion’s foundation was extremely profound .
Furthermore, it was impossible to calculate how many disciples they had, because they were just too enormous . Today, Zheng Wenlong’s disregard of Huo Wufang was enough to prove how powerful they were .
They didn’t even care about the Pill Tower, let alone Han Tianyu . Although Han Tianyu was powerful, Zheng Wenlong wasn’t afraid of him .
