The countenance of Wang Tong immediately turned cold. He identified the voice as that of a female elder from the West Sea Sect, who was his lover no less!

Why should the woman he indulges have to grovel before others?

Wang Tong glanced apologetically at Chu Mo: "Your Majesty King of Chu, excuse me for a moment, I need to handle something."

Before Chu Mo could reply, Wang Tong pushed open the door, stepped off the carriage, and walked in the direction of the argument. Without even looking at the person who spoke, he nonchalantly said, "I am Elder Wang Tong of the West Sea Sect, responsible for coordinating this sect's conference. Is there something dissatisfying about my arrangements? If so, come discuss it with me. However, this place is for the esteemed guests of the Piaomiao Palace; I hope you can step aside."

Wang Tong's words weren't cold, but neither were they courteous, leaving no face for the Four Path Sword Sect.

"Oh, what a bold statement!" retorted a man in his forties with a medium build exuding a burly aura, glaring coldly at Wang Tong. "Our Four Path Sword Sect is certainly several levels higher in rank than the Piaomiao Palace flunkies. Why is their living space so much better and larger than ours? We have brought over a hundred people under our banner who are all crammed into one room. This worthless Piaomiao Palace only has four people and an animal. Why do they get such a big place? Elder Wang Tong, everything is justifiable! I may be recklessly frank, but it is because I felt an injustice and demand fairness!"

His words sent shockwaves. Even Chu Mo in the carriage couldn't help but reveal a surprised face, thinking to himself that Elder Lu of the Four Path Sword Sect wasn't as rash as his behavior implies.

Originally Chu Mo planned to stay in the carriage and observe the situation. He telepathically relayed to the on-edge rooster and the other three women not to act recklessly.

Chu Mo had not heard of the Four Path Sword Sect before, but he could deduce that they were targeting him.

Piaomiao Palace made multiple enemies, and Chu Mo was uncertain who among them was the culprit. Therefore, waiting and observing was the most appropriate reaction.

This place was the territory of the West Sea Sect. As the host of this conference, if they couldn't handle this minor problem, it would reflect poorly on them. Now all eyes were on how Wang Tong was going to resolve this.

"Fairness?" Wang Tong echoed, chuckling. He looked at Elder Lu with an amused expression, "I'm quite surprised to hear this from you, Elder Lu."

Elder Lu looked at Wang Tong coldly, "What's so surprising?"

Wang Tong smiled chillingly, "Do you think we arranged the Piaomiao Palace's accommodation?"

"Isn't it so?" Elder Lu was indeed surprised.

"The living conditions for Piaomiao Palace were jointly decided by the Lonely City Sword and the Four Great Sects of Beyond Heaven Immortals," Wang Tong calmly replied.

When Wang Tong finished speaking, Elder Lu's expression was an indescribable mix of shock and disbelief followed by embarrassment. He stared blankly at Wang Tong, "Is... is that true, Elder Wang?"

Now, Wang Tong found Elder Lu even more contemptible. If Elder Lu had stuck to his assertive stance throughout this ordeal, Wang Tong might have respected him. But he suddenly became timid which meant he only acted tough when he felt safe to do so.

Nevertheless, as the elder in charge of reception, Wang Tong had no intention of offending Elder Lu. Calmly, he nodded, "Indeed, would you like to see the personal letters from the Four Great Sects?"

"Uh, uh, no, never mind. If it's a misunderstanding, let's leave it at that." Elder Lu retreated, leading his group from the Four Path Sword Sect away in embarrassment.

Seeing Elder Lu walk away, Wang Tong's eyes flashed with disdain. Afterward, he personally invited Chu Mo and his companions to their charming courtyard.

Chu Mo casually asked, "What virtues or talents do we possess in the Piaomiao Palace to receive such attention from the Four Great Sects?"

Wang Tong respectfully replied, "Your Majesty King of Chu, you're a young and accomplished leader. Not only have you established a vast kingdom in the mundane world, but you are also prominent among your generation within the Cultivation Realm. It is natural for the Four Great Sects to pay attention to you."

Chu Mo just smiled and didn't say anything more, but he grew more cautious inside.

In Chu Mo's view, the attention of the Four Great Sects was not a good sign. There was a high chance that those people wanted him to pave the way for them in Ruins.

However, Chu Mo didn't mind much because his purpose was likewise to enter Ruins!

Wang Tong made excellent arrangements for the group from Piaomiao Palace. He was thoughtful in his arrangements, leaving everyone satisfied.

However, news of the Four Path Sword Sect seeking a quarrel with Piaomiao Palace and returning dejectedly spread out.

Upon hearing this, many people, while laughing at the Four Path Sword Sect, became secretly wary. It was unexpected that this sect, reborn from the ashes, was being watched by top-tier sects such as Lonely City Sword and Beyond Heaven Immortal.

"Seems like we need to be careful when dealing with their people from now on."

"I heard that two of the women in Piaomiao Palace are from Beyond Heaven Immortal sect …"

"That Chu Mo had stirred up quite a wave on Azure Dragon Continent. Many sects on both Azure Dragon and Vermillion Bird Continents suffered losses at his hands and resented him deeply. Yet, he still thrives, and that's quite something!"

Within just a day, the arrivals from Piaomiao Palace became a hot topic before the formal commencement of the sect conference.

Chu Mo's party quietly stayed at their residence without wandering around.

Wang Tong tactfully relayed details about the Four Path Sword Sect to Chu Mo.

"So, they're a subsidiary sect of the Lonely City. No wonder they came looking for trouble..." Chu Mo explained to Miao Yi Niang and Shen Xingxue.

"They probably heard about the incident at the pier and wanted to stir up trouble to curry favor with the Lonely City. They didn't expect their flattery to backfire," Miao Yi Niang sneered.

Shen Xingxue chuckled lightly, "They probably thought we were an easy target because we are fewer in number."

Huang Hui snorted coldly, "If the young master hadn't stopped me today, I would have already taken action. So weak yet so provocative, they don't know what's good for them!"

The rooster lazily added, "I mean, at that moment, it wasn't just the Four Path Sword Sect fool who wanted to make trouble. The smart move that Wang Tong pulled about the Four Great Sects caring about us blocked the potential trouble. However, watch, troubles will find us again once the sect conference officially begins!"

"What did we do to provoke them? Why are they targeting us?" Shen Xingxue was a little upset, her face flushed.

Miao Yi Niang shook her head with a bitter smile. She's more experienced than Shen Xingxue, having long understood these situations. She held Shen Xingxue's soft and slender hand and laughed, "This is the world of martial arts!"
