Chapter 871: Extremely Shameless
“Let’s follow them,” Wei Zhixuan declared and stood up.
“Brother Wei, isn’t this too much? If the news gets out, I’m afraid it will damage your reputation.” The young man realized Wei Zhixuan’s plan and said uncomfortably.
Although the strong were respected in the Sacred Realm of Sects, and it was normal to fight for various treasures, it was a bit unreasonable to brazenly snatch things that had been bought by others at an auction. As a martial artist, no matter how famous and strong you were, you still had to maintain a good image.
“Hmph, do you think that I, Wei Zhixuan, would do something so lowly?” Wei Zhixuan snorted disapprovingly.
“What does Brother Wei mean then?” The young man looked at Wei Zhixuan in confusion.
“The Su family left the Sacred Realm of Sects for so many years, so don’t you wonder where they could have obtained this many White Jade Crystals?” Wei Zhixuan asked slyly.
“You mean, they have found the mineral veins left by their ancestors?” The young man’s eyes lit up. It was no secret that big sects usually had their own mineral veins that helped them prosper. The Golden Pill Sect had been one of the five major sects, so who would believe that there were no crystal mine veins to support it?
The Su family had been away from the Sacred Realm of Sects for so many years so they surely would have not been able to find that many crystals. However, the moment they returned to the Sacred Realm of Sects, they were drowning in wealth. Naturally, it had to be because they had found the mineral veins left by their ancestors.
“My Wei family has dominated Wu Cang City for thousands of years. Within a radius of a thousand miles, which includes their Golden Pill sect, if it weren’t for the protection of my Wei family, who knows what chaos would have happened? If it weren’t for our strength, their mineral veins would have been emptied out by thieves a long time ago, and their sect descendants would never even have gotten the chance to mine them! Isn’t it a fact that the Golden Pill Sect’s mines were preserved to this day due to our Wei family’s contribution? No matter what, we should have a share in it, don’t you agree?” Wei Zhixuan said boldly.
“What Brother Wei said is right! It makes sense!” The young man echoed, but he was secretly disgusted by Wei Zhixuan. He knew that Wei Zhixuan was greedy and wanted to snatch what Jiang Wuhen had obtained today, but he didn’t expect him to stoop to this level! He actually wanted a share of the Golden Pill Sect’s mineral veins… how very shameless. Wei Zhixuan obviously did not care about his reputation at this point. Although he despised him in his heart, the young man did not dare show it. As Wei Zhixuan’s lackey, if Wei Zhixuan were to become wealthy, he would undoubtedly reap the benefits of it.
“But there is one thing… I’m not sure whether Brother Wei has heard about it,” the young man thought for a while and murmured.
“What’s the matter?” Wei Zhixuan asked impatiently.
“I heard that the Jade Pool Sect’s Yu Daoni had plans against the Golden Pill Sect and took a mechanism master with him, but came back in despair. I’m afraid that the Golden Pill Sect Su family is not as weak as they seem,” the young man said slowly.
Back then, Yu Daoni had wanted to claim the Golden Pill Sect’s site as his own, but due to Duan Qingchen’s appearance, he had been so scared that he had fled. Usually, such an embarrassing event would not be publicized, but it had somehow still leaked to the public, though they did not know the exact details.
“Jade Pool Sect? Can that even be counted as a sect? They have no money or manpower with that trash Yu Daoni leading them. How can you compare it with my Jade Peak Sect?” Wei Zhixuan scoffed disdainfully, completely missing the point.
While talking, the two had already left the auction, and Wei Zhixuan instructed a few of his men to secretly follow Jiang Wuhen and the rest.
