Chapter 272: Chapter 272 Why Were You Scared Like This?

Upon hearing the words, Cheng Long was filled with shock and disbelief.

If the other party knew Tu Xing was his man, how dare they lay a hand on him!

And since when did the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild have such a master?

“Are you sure the person is from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild?” Cheng Long couldn’t help asking.

Tu Xing hesitated for a moment, then described, “He’s only about twelve or thirteen years old.”

“Twelve or thirteen!” Not only Cheng Long, but Wang Fan and Liu Shuang were also astonished.

“Yes, he was wearing a light blue robe,” Tu Xing recalled. “The elder with him was dressed oddly, like someone from an Ancient Tribe, right, his weapon was a large wooden staff!”

“What?! A large wooden staff!” Cheng Long, Wang Fan, and Liu Shuang all shuddered, exclaiming in unison.

Tu Xing had not expected that the mention of a large wooden staff would provoke such a strong reaction from Cheng Long, Wang Fan, and Liu Shuang.

“That elder, could it be he has a face full of wrinkles, like a Great Sorcerer?” Liu Shuang asked with a trembling voice.

“Exactly, exactly, full of wrinkles, just like a Great Sorcerer!” Tu Xing quickly added, “That’s him, with a single move, he turned Elder Yan and the others into ice sculptures!”

“He struck the ground with his large wooden staff, and a dark green chill surged out.”

The complexions of Cheng Long, Wang Fan, and Liu Shuang changed.

“Does that young boy have any other subordinates by his side?” Liu Shuang asked again with a trembling voice.

Upon hearing this, Tu Xing answered, “He has seven or eight subordinates with him, right, there’s also a Little Gold Beast.”

“A Little Gold Beast!”

Cheng Long, Wang Fan, and Liu Shuang were horror-stricken, and in their daze, they all fell off their horses to the ground.

Before Tu Xing could react, he saw Cheng Long, Wang Fan, and Liu Shuang sprinting toward the city gate, even stumbling over the stones in their path and taking a hard fall.

But they got up again and fled in panic.

Not only was Tu Xing dumbfounded, but Cheng Long, Wang Fan, and their subordinates were as well.

They couldn’t understand why hearing about the Little Gold Beast would scare Cheng Long and Wang Fan so much.

By the time Tu Xing came to his senses, Cheng Long and Wang Fan had already vanished without a trace.

Tu Xing’s mouth hung open in dismay.

Meanwhile, at the main hall of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, Yang Xiaotian, Wen Fei, and others were waiting for Tu Xing when a Guild disciple ran in, panic-stricken, and said to Wen Fei, “Grand Hall Master, Second Prince Cheng Long has just returned to the Royal City!”

“Coming back with him were Tiandou Imperial Kingdom’s Wang Fan and Liu Shuang!”

Wen Fei, Wen Jingyi, and the others were shocked to hear that Cheng Long had returned and that Tiandou Imperial Kingdom’s Wang Fan and Liu Shuang had come as well.

“Is it Tiandou Imperial Kingdom’s Grand Master of Pharmacists, Wang Fan?!” exclaimed Wen Fei in surprise.

“Yes, it’s Grand Master Wang Fan!” The Guild disciple said in panic, “Accompanying them were dozens of high-ranking officials from the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom’s Pharmacist Hall.”

Wen Fei felt darkness before his eyes.

He had never found Heaven and Earth to be so dim before.

He had heard of Wang Fan and Liu Shuang’s affairs.

Wang Fan and his disciple Liu Shuang were tyrannical and autocratic, virtually covering the sky with one hand in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom; anyone who offended them met with no good end.

However, as Wen Fei and the others anxiously waited, there was no sign of Cheng Long, Wang Fan, or the others showing up. Wen Fei couldn’t help sending people to inquire. When he heard that Cheng Long, Wang Fan, and Liu Shuang had fled, Wen Fei and everyone else were dumbstruck.

“They fled?” Wen Fei’s eyes bulged.

“Yes, it’s said that they had barely entered the city when they encountered Tu Xing. Tu Xing said something to them, and they were so frightened that they fell off their horses,” the disciple explained with animated gestures. “Then, they fled straight out of the Royal City.”

“Some say that while they were escaping, they even took a tumble, ending up with battered and swollen noses before scrambling to their feet and continuing their flight.”

Wen Fei and the experts of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild were as if they were listening to a heavenly scripture, staring with eyes wide and jaws agape.

They were surprised, but even more so, they were puzzled.

They wondered why Cheng Long, Wang Fan, and Liu Shuang would want to flee?

Why were they so frightened?

Could it be?

Wen Fei couldn’t help but look towards Yang Xiaotian, who had been calmly composed all along, his eyes filled with reverence.

Without a doubt, it was because of this young man that Wang Fan, Liu Shuang, and Cheng Long were scared to such an extent.

Who was Wang Fan? He was the Grand Hall Master of the Pharmacist Hall in Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, someone who sat almost on par with the Emperor of Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, yet now, he had been scared witless by this youth.

One could only imagine what a terrifying existence this young man was.

Otherwise, with Wang Fan’s esteemed status, it would not be possible for him to be frightened like this.

The other experts of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild also thought of the same issue and looked at Yang Xiaotian with fear in their eyes.

“They fled?” Yang Xiaotian frowned.

Originally, as per his intentions, since Liu Shuang and Wang Fan had come, he had planned to blow them away incidentally.

Wu Qi stepped forward and said to Yang Xiaotian, “Young master, shall I give chase and bring back the heads of Wang Fan and Liu Shuang?”

Bring back the heads of Wang Fan and Liu Shuang!

As soon as Wu Qi spoke, the experts of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild felt their legs go weak, looking at Wu Qi with fear.

Even Wen Jingyi’s heart was pounding chaotically.

Yang Xiaotian shook his head and said, “If they have escaped, let it be. After all, they can’t really escape. Next time we pass by the Pharmacist Hall of Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, we’ll just kill them then.”

The experts of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild shivered uncontrollably.

“President Wen.” Yang Xiaotian suddenly turned his head to speak to Wen Fei.

“Here.” Wen Fei shuddered with fright and promptly bowed.

“Please send someone to check if Tu Xing has had the goods sent back,” Yang Xiaotian said.

Wen Fei was flattered, “Young master, rest assured, I will send someone immediately.”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Tu Xing walk in with a face full of terror, then with trembling hands, he took out a Space Ring and knelt before Yang Xiaotian, “Young master, the goods that were robbed from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, they’re all here.”

“It’s just that a part of them was with the Second Prince, who is currently not in Royal City.”

“However, I’ve replaced them with other treasures, all inside, not a single item short.”

“Please, young master, spare my wretched life.”

After saying so, he kept kowtowing.

Yang Xiaotian handed the Space Ring to Wen Jingyi, “Sister, please take a look.”

After Wen Jingyi received the Space Ring and opened it, she saw it was filled with various medicinal herbs, Spirit Stones, ores, and other treasures, more than double the goods they had been robbed of.

“It’s much more than the goods that were robbed before,” Wen Jingyi said.

Tu Xing hurriedly waved his hand, “It’s not extra; the extra is my compensation to the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild and Miss Wen.” Then he continued to kowtow to Yang Xiaotian, crying, “I was only following orders, young master, please spare me, spare my miserable life.”

Yang Xiaotian looked at Wen Jingyi and said, “Sister, I’ll leave him to you to deal with.”

“Thank you, brother,” Wen Jingyi said to Yang Xiaotian, her voice very gentle.

In the end, she did not kill him, but only shattered his Dantian, crippling his cultivation.

After resolving the matters with the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, Yang Xiaotian and his group stayed in Royal City for one day. The next day, under the respectful escort of the people from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, they set off on their return journey to Xingyue City.
