229: Return to the Southern Region

"Fine, fine, you won't move, will you? I'll find someone to make you move."

Seeing that this group had no intention of letting them pass, Huyan Xiaoyao reluctantly took out a communication treasure and called the Vice President over to handle the situation.

After all, this was inside the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, and these people were clients of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, so she couldn't afford to be too excessive.

Following the transmission of Huyan Xiaoyao's message.

The Vice President of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce rushed over.

When he saw a group of people blocking the path of Huyan Xiaoyao and The Four Night Owls, he immediately roared.

"How dare you!"

"This is my Young Miss, and several highly accomplished Disciples of the Qingtian Sect! You dare to block their path? Are you tired of living?!"

After the Vice President finished speaking, he landed in front of them, glaring angrily at the people blocking the way.

Six of the Seven Great Holy Lands were wiped out for bullying The Four Night Owls; for these people to block their path now, and for The Four Night Owls not to get angry, truly meant they were lucky.

"Hiss! It's actually the Young Miss of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, and Disciples of the Qingtian Sect!!"

Hearing the Vice President's words.

The Central Province Cultivators who were blocking the path of Huyan Xiaoyao and The Four Night Owls immediately broke out in cold sweat, and with a thud, all of them knelt on the ground.

"Young Miss and highly accomplished Disciples of the Qingtian Sect, please spare us! We didn't know your identities. Please don't take offense."

"That's right, we were blind and failed to recognize Mount Tai. Please don't hold it against us."

The group knelt on the ground, frantically kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Huyan Xiaoyao's identity as the Young Miss of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce alone was enough to wipe them all out, let alone the identity of The Four Night Owls as Qingtian Sect Disciples.

They had all heard the rumors.

The reason the six great Emperor-level powers were wiped out was entirely because they tried to bully Qingtian Sect Disciples.

If even Emperor-level powers were completely annihilated for bullying Qingtian Sect Disciples, wouldn't blocking their path mean certain death for them?

"Alright, we didn't intend to blame you. Can you let us pass now?"

Huyan Xiaoyao asked irritably, looking at the group kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

She had only called the Vice President over to make these people move aside, so she had no intention of doing anything to them.

After all, setting aside their identities, what they did was not wrong.

"Yes, yes! We will immediately make way for the Young Miss and the highly accomplished Disciples of the Qingtian Sect."

The Central Province Cultivators kneeling on the ground immediately split into two lines, still kneeling, creating a passage for Huyan Xiaoyao and the six people.

"Young Miss, highly accomplished Disciples of the Qingtian Sect, please proceed. I will arrange the Teleportation Array for you immediately."

Seeing that these people had cleared the path, the Vice President smiled broadly and made a gesture for The Four Night Owls to proceed.

After Huyan Xiaoyao and The Four Night Owls passed through, he glanced back and glared at the kneeling Cultivators, then followed in their footsteps.

"Phew, that was close! We almost died."

"Indeed. I never thought stopping a few kids from cutting in line would almost cost us our lives. That was terrifying."

Seeing the Vice President and Huyan Xiaoyao leave, the group who had been kneeling stood up, their faces filled with lingering fear.

They had never imagined that stopping someone from cutting in line would be so dangerous. From now on, they would have trauma whenever they saw someone cutting in line.

Inside the Teleportation Area.

Under the Vice President's arrangements, the six people, including Night Owl, stepped onto the Teleportation Array returning to the Southern Region.

As the Teleportation Array glowed intensely, the six figures vanished from the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce.

Southern Region, Tianbao Chamber of Commerce Branch.

As soon as Huyan Xiaoyao and The Four Night Owls teleported back, they were greeted by Wei Yan and Little Lotus, who was holding a white rabbit.

"Young Miss and highly accomplished Disciples of the Qingtian Sect, you must be exhausted from your trip to the Central Province. I will arrange the best rooms for you to rest immediately." Wei Yan approached them, bowing deeply and smiling obsequiously.

In the past two days, the number of Cultivators coming from the Central Province to the Southern Region had grown explosively.

He inquired and only then learned that the Qingtian Sect had mobilized over a dozen Peak Great Emperors and destroyed six great Emperor-level powers in the Central Province.

He used to think that the Qingtian Sect had at most one Great Emperor, and as the Branch President of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, he didn't need to be too humble.

Now that he knew the Qingtian Sect had over a dozen Great Emperors and had practically wiped out the Central Province's Emperor-level powers, how could he dare to put on airs?

"No need. My Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters and I are returning to the Sect immediately."

Huyan Xiaoyao replied, grabbed the white rabbit from Little Lotus's arms, and stroked its little head.

"Junior Sister Huyan, your white rabbit is so plump. Why don't you take it back to the Sect?"

Looking at the white rabbit in Huyan Xiaoyao's hand, Night Owl showed a satisfied smile.

"Huh? Senior Brother Ye, I've raised this rabbit for a long time. Although it's just an ordinary rabbit, I've grown attached to it."

Huyan Xiaoyao hugged the white rabbit, pouting pitifully and shrinking back slightly.

From Night Owl's smile, she saw his affection for the white rabbit—but this affection wasn't the kind one has for a pet, but the kind one has for food.

Although Gu Chen had many Saint Realm Yao Beasts, and even Quasi-Emperor Yao Beast Materials for barbecue, Night Owl had a special fondness for roasted rabbit, so taking this rabbit back would likely mean a tragic end for it.

"Hehe, Junior Sister Huyan, don't panic. I just think your plump pet is quite cute. I didn't mean anything else."

Seeing Huyan Xiaoyao's wronged expression, Night Owl reluctantly shifted his gaze away from the white rabbit.

"Enough, stop talking here. Let's hurry back to the Sect."

Seeing Night Owl and Huyan Xiaoyao discussing a rabbit, Gu Chen spoke up with slight dissatisfaction.

"Heh heh, let's go."

Night Owl muttered a response and was the first to walk out of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce Southern Region Branch.

"Junior Brother Chu Feng, three Junior Sisters, let's go too."

"Mhm."

Huyan Xiaoyao handed the white rabbit over to Little Lotus.

Then, she and Mu Xueqing followed Gu Chen out of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce Branch and returned to the Qingtian Sect.

Inside the Qingtian Sect Main Hall.

As soon as Night Owl and The Four Night Owls returned to the Sect, they came to the Main Hall to pay their respects to Jiang Chen.

"Your Disciples have returned from their experience and specifically came to pay respects to Revered Master!!"

The four bowed and saluted Jiang Chen, who was sitting in the main seat.

"Mhm, did my Disciples gain anything from this experience?" Jiang Chen asked, smiling as he looked at them.

In truth, his Divine Sense had been focused on them the entire time; whether it was the arena competition or rushing to seize the enlightenment tea tree, he knew everything.

However, as a Revered Master, he still had to show some concern, otherwise he would appear too cold.

Facing Jiang Chen's inquiry.

The Four Night Owls exchanged glances and finally decided that Night Owl would reply.

"Reporting to Revered Master, your Disciples gained a great deal from this trip to the Central Province."

"Not only did we witness the strength of the Central Province's Prodigies, but we also brought back an enlightenment tea tree for the Sect, as well as over half the resources of a Holy Land, which we are prepared to offer to the Sect."

Night Owl bowed slightly and gave a general summary of the events they experienced in the Central Province.

"Mhm, not bad, not bad."

"Since you won the enlightenment tea tree, you may dispose of it yourselves."

"As for the resources from that Holy Land, go hand them over to the Grand Elder for maintaining the Sect's operations."

Jiang Chen looked at them, nodding slightly as he instructed.

The enlightenment tea tree that The Four Night Owls brought back only yielded about ten catties of enlightenment tea leaves, so he didn't care much for it.

However, over half the resources of the Wuji Holy Land was no small sum; it needed to be handed over to Li Big Saber to maintain the Sect's expenditures.

After all, the Qingtian Sect would recruit more Disciples in the future, so they needed to store more Cultivation resources.

"Yes, Revered Master!!"

The Four Night Owls bowed in unison and agreed.

"Mhm, you may all go down and Cultivate diligently." Jiang Chen waved his hand, signaling that the four could withdraw.

"Yes, your Disciples respectfully take their leave!!"

After saluting once more, the four respectfully exited the Main Hall.
