Wuzian Pavillion

A frosty night, a lucid moon, heaven's eyes shine in the black as a divine watchful mother. Wands of rising branches became dancing silhouettes in the moonlight. The shimmer of the chilly breeze was paving its foot over dark wintery night. Over the shadowy path, the bright full moon cast its shadow, creating silhouettes.

A lonely courtyard cloaked in silence was standing alone at the rear of the western front of the Lingua merchant city. A willow tree that stood beneath the full moon was casting its dark shadow over the stagnant three old men in noble robes in this lonely courtyard. "Brother Nan, you had already taken the little fatty from before, and now you even want this little girl, it seems like your appetite really knows no bounds" Marquis Luo started to avarice over the little girl after finding her otherworldly talent and constitution and decided not to let this golden opportunity so easily.

"Old Luo, do you take me as some dickhead who would compromise just after getting a fatty, you both should better know that this little girl would soon become a prominent figure by the means of her special constitution and would be soon recruited by some prominent sect after the age of sixteen, So what if I had taken the fatty from before, I still can't allow making another loss after the destruction of my precious Spirit orb earlier and let you both have the last laugh" with strands of pure genuine Qi started billowing from his powerful body, Marquis Nan started to gear up after seeing the tides turning against him.

"Huh, shorty Nan, so now you are showing your true color. I had already been irked by your constant nagging and stupid haughtiness from the past few days, and it seems that you really had forgotten about the lesson I had taught earlier about me being the most powerful Marquis in this lower region and if you really want to talk with your fluffy fist then come forward and don't act like a pussy by wasting my time with all this stupid nonsense," getting fed up by being provoked again and again Marquis Luo also started gathering the Qi from his body towards his fist and initiated the attack.

"Boom, while taking the lead, Marquis Luo was the first to strike and punched the left chest of Marquis Nan with the gushing of wind while using a medium grade one fist technique, which he had recently received from Duke Jian in exchange for the merit points he had gotten after spending his time in the Western Dessert fighting the outsiders.

"Hahaha, Nan, now this father of yours will let you know the actual difference between an experienced martial artist and an amature, Do you think I have been wasting all of my time like you scheming and searching for some stupid stone, I was already at the foot of reaching the later stages of the foundation stage and had even got the only medium grade one technique in this lower region, The Star Divergence Fist Technique into my hand with which I can easily dominate this southern coastal region of ours" feeling joyous over getting a clean hit, Marquis Luo started to feel proudful of this new fist technique of his.

"Thud, thud, thud, getting a clear and powerful hit by the Star Divergence Fist Technique, Marquis Nan took four to five steps backward while trying to stabilize his powerful body as few drops of blood started to ooze out of his mouth.

Getting up after falling from the previous hit, Marquis Nan started to dust his robes with a grin on his small face. "Hahaha, Marquis Luo, do you really take me as a fool who would have come to the slave auction unprepared and just carried the spirit testing orb with myself even after knowing that both of you old men would also be present there. So, let me tell you that while looking for the spirit testing orb in the black market, I had also got my hands on a defensive grade one armor, which I had been wearing all this time inside my robes. Now lets see which one lasts longer, the spiritual Qi in your body or my grade one defensive armour," being hit by Marquis Luo abruptly without any earlier proclamation or warning Marquis Nan felt his intestines burning in fury and was ready to explode with his full power any moment.

"Stop, both of you stop here and now, If all three of us fight like this with our full strength without turning back then the power generated due to our full forces could easily destroy this courtyard along with the surrounding ones and the commotion created would be large enough to alert all the powerful martial artist residing in this merchant city. Also, let's say any one of us is able to take the girl out from here safely to his own territory or hide her till her coming of age, do you think you would have enough resources or security to nurture this girl. Let's leave all that, do you know where we are presently stationed? This is Lingua Merchant city, the dwelling place of a branch of the Grand Wuzian pavilion with a powerful Golden core martial artist reigning in-charge of the pavilion. So in my opinion, instead of wasting our time infighting over the little girl with an unknown constitution and then nurturing her until the age of sixteen, while taking a massive risk, we should better sell her to the powerful Wuzian Pavilion, whose roots run deep throughout our Qin Dynasty, with even the majesty himself respecting it ", After analyzing the forthcoming situation and finding a solution that could shut off their infighting, while also leading to hefty profit without spending anymore, Marquis Tian sought to stabilize the situation, which would only worsen with a life and death battle.

Hearing the argument made by the Marquis Tian, both marquises Luo and Nan stood there rooted on the spot and started to quickly analyze the entire deescalating situation and the solutions present before them, while also keeping a close watch on each other. Finding no way out of the escalating situation himself, even after mugging his brain for a while, marquis Nan decided to go with the flow and accepted the solution presented by the old marquis Tian and was ready to join his hands with others when he was interrupted by the Marquis Luo in-between "Brother Tian, there is no need to compromise and give away the golden opportunity for this Marquis Nan, he has already got a child with Earthen spiritual roots before and now his appetite has outgrown his own capabilities, I am certain if you and I work together we can defeat him in few minutes and then run off with the little girl", even though Marquis Luo reviewed the guidance provided by Marquis Tian's, he was still not ready to solve the situation so easily.

"Old Luo, don't use your fucked-up reasoning to try to create an internal conflict between me and brother Tian. I am sure that Brother Tian is much more clever and intelligent than either of us here and he can easily see through your foolish scheme of creating a divergence by taking advantage of him. Thus, we should instead of creating more mess better look into brother Tian's plan of selling the girls and other slaves to the Wuzian Pavillion rather than fighting between us," being afraid of getting entangled by the two, if their collaboration is successful, Marquis Nan sought to inflame the conflict between the two by inciting skepticism about their mutual trust.

"Marquis Nan is right, old bastard Luo don't hoax me with your witless plan and better give some serious thoughts towards my earlier proposal as all three of us are experienced martial artists who had seen enough of the worldly affairs, so instead of trying to scheme with your thick brain and childish schemes, we better think about selling these slaves who have got no spiritual roots, including the little girl and the other three children left being untested because of the destruction of the spirit orb and get some real profits" as the morning dew began to fall outside, Marquis Tian left toward his room without further ado, not wanting to waste more of his time arguing with them.

Among the darkness of the little room near the edge of the courtyard were the slaves and the three Marquis were spending their night, a tall bulky man dressed entirely in a black cloak from head to toe with the cultivation of early foundation realm was saluting towards the corner of the darkest corner of the room where a silhouette hidden in darkness was barely visible."Sir, why have you sent an emergency note towards the headquarters of our secret organization instead of contacting the branch at the Wuzian pavilion ?"

"little genitor, who are you to question me, you're just a grade four officer of our secret organization, and if I a grade two commanding officer had sent the emergency signal directly to the headquarters then that means there is really something important enough to determine the future of our secret organization," not getting irate by the asked question, the man who was hardly visible in the darkness of the room, still replied with gleeful calmness.

Once the genitor realized that the man standing in front of him in the darkness was a grade two commanding officer, who should at least possess the cultivation of a Nascent Soul stage, his gaze began to change from earlier haughtiness to that of respect and admiration. " Respected sir, I apologize for the earlier impoliteness, this lowly one was ordered by our leader to inquire about the seriousness of the situation and the matter for which the sir had sent this emergency note to the headquarters, while also verifying its authenticity."

"Hahaha, little one, my old master would have definitely been startled seeing my note because I have been out of contact with the organization for the past hundred years while working on my own personal matters. Go, tell the leader that this disciple of his has got a great surprise for him, which could completely shake the working of our organization and change the outcome of the plan we have been scheming since the establishment of our organization in this continent, also ask him to contact me personally within two days in secrecy, this matter is extremely important and must be dealt with highest importance and secrecy," while ordering the genitor the man in the darkness started moving out towards the door with a deep gleam and a sharp glint in his eyes.

This man was surprising wearing the noble robes of a Marquis of the Great Qin dynasty with a long fluttering beard over his old amiable face, this old man was none other than the calmest and clever among the three marquis, Marquis Tian from the Tian Wu city, who was hiding his powerful cultivation and was working as a Marquis of the great Qin dynasty for the past hundred years.
