The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2472: Chapter 2472: Misunderstanding

In the archive room of the Tianyin Building Headquarters, there wasn’t any more detailed information on Jing Yan.

Tianyin Building was also investigating related information, but since Jing Yan hadn’t been in Kunling Heaven for long after coming from Faro Heaven, Tianyin Building couldn’t find out much more. What Tianyin Building knew was the same as what Tianji Trading House knew.

If the Chief of Tianyin Building personally took action, they could quickly uncover Jing Yan’s background. However, this Chief hadn’t shown himself for a long time, and the elders of Tianyin Building believed it was not yet necessary to disturb the Chief for Jing Yan.

"That foolish thing!" Another elder, with an angry expression, cursed.

Who he cursed was naturally the Wuling Building Master of the Thunder Domain branch.

"This matter affects our Tianyin Building significantly and must be resolved quickly to minimize the impact," said an elder in a deep blue robe, his expression calm.

Among the seven elders of the Elder Council in Tianyin Building, there is a ranking order. The elder in the deep blue robe is the top-ranked elder.

"Hongmeng City’s Hongmeng Pill Tower is already selling two types of top-grade Immortal Pills. Regardless of whether this city is a new city or if its other facilities and institutions are complete, just by this Hongmeng Pill Tower, it already qualifies as a One-star City," an elder said solemnly.

"Hongmeng City has made many enemies, it’s likely it will be destroyed soon," another elder commented.

"Whether it will be destroyed or not, that doesn’t concern Tianyin Building. At the present time, it hasn’t been destroyed. Many of the cities that made it onto the Tianyin City’s ranking list have been destroyed. Wasn’t Thunder City once very prosperous, and yet it was also destroyed?" an elder remarked while blinking.

The implication was that whether a city is destroyed or not has no relation to Tianyin Building. Even if it is on the Tianyin Cities list, destruction is normal.

"We need to resolve this matter quickly. The longer we delay, the more it affects the reputation of Tianyin Building," an elder said, looking at the elder in the blue robe.

"Currently, Hongmeng City definitely qualifies to be on the Tianyin City’s ranking list. The problem is, if we directly list this city, wouldn’t it be telling outsiders that Tianyin Building was wrong before?" another elder frowned.

Tianyin Building is proud and does not easily admit mistakes.

Although the culprit here is Wuling from the Thunder Domain branch, Wuling is still part of Tianyin Building.

"The timing of the release of the Celestial Void Eye Pill by Hongmeng Pill Tower is indeed coincidental! It seems the City Lord of Hongmeng City values the city’s inclusion on the Tianyin City’s ranking list highly. In this case, send someone to contact him; if Hongmeng City can provide an explanation for Tianyin Building, things would be resolved nicely," the elder in the blue robe suggested.

"And if City Lord Jing Yan does not cooperate with us?" an elder asked.

"Whether City Lord Jing Yan cooperates or not, we will list Hongmeng City on the Tianyin City’s ranking list. Our Tianyin Building rules must not be broken. If Hongmeng City meets the requirements, it should be listed unless it voluntarily requests not to be included on the Tianyin Building list," the elder in the blue robe replied.

"For now, we can only proceed this way. Let Zang Zhuangru make a trip to Dingyun City in the Thunder Domain!" an elder suggested.

The Thunder Domain branch of Tianyin Building is in Dingyun City. However, Dingyun City is not a property of Tianyin Building, as they haven’t established their own city outside.

Upon receiving direct orders from the elders, Zang Zhuangru of the headquarters immediately set off in a flying boat towards the Thunder Domain. At the same time, he also sent a communication to Wuling.

In the Thunder Domain branch in Dingyun City, Wuling was at his wits’ end.

He hadn’t anticipated that Hongmeng City’s Hongmeng Pill Tower would be able to launch a second type of top-grade Immortal Pill. All of a sudden, he was bewildered. Originally, based on Hongmeng City’s conditions, it was reasonable to include or exclude it from the Tianyin City’s ranking list. The power was on Tianyin Building’s side, and even if it didn’t list it, outsiders couldn’t say much. However, with Hongmeng Pill Tower selling two types of top-grade Immortal Pills, the balance was tipped.

"Damn it! Damn bastard! How did this happen!" Wuling was frustrated.

Because Hongmeng City only sent him fifty million Black Crystal Stones, he was very dissatisfied with the authorities of Hongmeng City. He initially wanted to take the opportunity to give Hongmeng City a hard time, but didn’t expect such a sharp and tyrannical retaliation from Hongmeng City, leaving him no time to prepare.

Wuling could already sense the Headquarters elders’ anger, and he was worried about receiving punishment from the headquarters.

"Those bastards in Hongmeng City! Why didn’t... why didn’t they launch a second type of top-grade Immortal Pill earlier? They must have done this on purpose; they intentionally want to trap me, Wuling!" Wuling’s eyes were fierce.

His subordinates all hung their heads. At present, they couldn’t think of any good solution for a perfect ending.

Even within Dingyun City, many cultivators went to the Tianyin Building branch to question them.

At this moment, Wuling irritably took out the communication magical treasure, sensing an incoming message.

"Lord Chief?" As Wuling saw the person that sent the message, his expression changed to respect.

Zang Zhuangru, with a role of Chief Manager at the Tianyin Building headquarters, held a high status that Wuling, as a branch building master, couldn’t compare to.

"Wuling Building Master, immediately send a message to Hongmeng City to explain this matter," Zang Zhuangru gave instructions without any small talk or nonsense, directly telling Wuling what to do.

"My lord, this matter, I..." Wuling wanted to explain the reasons to Zang Zhuangru.

"Do not explain to me, immediately send a message to Hongmeng City to clarify that this was a misunderstanding, and Tianyin Building did not refuse to list Hongmeng City on the Tianyin City’s ranking list," Zang Zhuangru’s voice was somewhat cold.

"Yes!" Wuling dared not say more.

After finishing the communication with the Chief, Wuling’s face turned somber again.

Sending a message to Hongmeng City to explain; wasn’t that asking him to bow down to Hongmeng City?

Damn it! Damn it all!

He really didn’t want to do this, but in the end, he had no choice. If this matter couldn’t be resolved, his life might be in danger. Having caused such a big mess, if it’s not resolved well, the Tianyin Building headquarters wouldn’t let him off easily. Judging from the communication message from earlier, although the Chief didn’t say much, Wuling already guessed that Zang Zhuangru might be on his way to Dingyun City in the Thunder Domain.

Hongmeng City, City Lord Mansion.

Supervisor Ru Li came to the City Lord, meeting with Grand Steward Bai Han, and relayed Wuling’s explanation.

Bai Han merely sneered, "Supervisor Ru Li, reply to them and say Hongmeng City is not interested in being listed on the Tianyin City’s ranking list."

Hearing the words of Grand Steward Bai Han, Supervisor Ru Li was slightly stunned, then quickly understood.

"The City Lord had already anticipated they would make an explanatory gesture?" Ru Li whispered.

"Indeed, this is exactly what the City Lord intended," Grand Steward Bai Han chuckled lightly.

"Yes! I will immediately respond to that arrogant bastard Wuling," Ru Li said with renewed spirit.
