Chapter 58: Threat

Shen Bohong hesitated for a moment before finally answering,
“It’s the people from the Pure Treasure Pavilion and those who have a close relationship with them.”
“Pure Treasure Pavilion?”
Hearing this name, Jiang Chengxuan frowned, and Shen Ruyan’s eyes turned cold.
Obviously, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan knew their background very well.
But this was not a justifiable reason for them not to come.
If all the people present went to the Conscience Platform, except for you and your subordinates, what would those who had been to the Conscience Platform think?
…..
In addition, being a member of the Hong family didn’t mean that you were innocent.
Even if you were innocent, what if your subordinates had been bewitched by the demonic cultivators?
Once anything went wrong, the Shen Immortal Family would be the one to suffer the consequences.
Moreover, the Pure Treasure Pavilion had a backer, but the Shen Immortal Family also had a backer.
Shen Mengxue was not only the Dao companion of Zheng Pelong, the Golden Core Realm cultivator of the Ganyang Sect. She was also a key figure of the Ganyang Sect.
For countless times, Shen Mengxue helped the Gangyang Sect avoid great losses and casualties and defeated many enemies with her calculation method.
Among the many Violet Palace Realm elders of the Ganyang Sect, she was second to none.
Even the ninth level Violet Palace Realm First Elder had to respect her because her contribution surpassed everyone.
At this moment, Shen Ruyan took out a Level 3 talisman and handed it to Shen Bohong.
“Elder Bohong, take this Level 3 talisman to the Pure Treasure Pavilion and invite Hong Wentao and his people here.
I want to see if Pure Treasure Pavilion is really going to go against us.”
Seeing the Level 3 talisman handed over by Shen Ruyan, Shen Bohong, Shen Feiyan, and the others were all shocked.
Shen Feiyan said, “Elder Ruyan, Elder Jiang, I’ll go with Elder Bohong.”
Shen Ruyan and Jiang Chengxuan nodded.
After Shen Bohong and Shen Feiyan left, Shen Ruyan turned to look at Jiang Chengxuan.
“Husband, do you think I’m making a mountain out of a molehill by doing this?”
Jiang Chengxuan shook his head.
“If we don’t do this this time, many similar things will happen.”
Although Jiang Chengxuan liked to be safe and was a little afraid of confrontation, he was definitely not a coward.
If someone slapped you on the face but you returned it with a smile, then it would only be a matter of time before you got slapped again.
Moreover, what the Pure Treasure Pavillion slapped was the entire Shen Immortal Family.
In the past, Jiang Chengxuan was only a guest elder of the Shen Immortal Family. He could naturally slack off and not get himself involved in this kind of matter.
However, now that he had already become a member of the Shen Immortal Family, he was more serious when dealing with the family matters.
At this moment.
In the Pure Treasure Pavilion.
Hong Wentao stared at Shen Bohong and Shen Feiyan in front of him and said coldly,
“Do you dare to repeat what you just said just now?”
Facing Hong Wentao’s rising aura, Shen Bohong and Shen Feiyan did not back down at all.
The two of them looked at Hong Wentao and gritted their teeth.
“Senior Hong, please head to the White Jade Square with your subordinates to get tested on the Conscience Platform.”
At the side, Hong Yuan was already dumbfounded.
He really didn’t expect that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan would really dare to send people over.
Did they not take the Pure Treasure Pavilion seriously, or did they not take the Hong family behind the Pure Treasure Pavilion seriously?
Hong Yuan glared angrily at Shen Bohong and Shen Feiyan.
“Shen Bohong, Shen Feiyan, do you know who you’re talking to? Do you know who’s behind our Pure Treasure Pavilion?
Or do you think that with our Pure Treasure Pavilion’s background, we will collude with those demonic cultivators?”
At this moment, Shen Feiyan said coldly, “We don’t care who is behind the Pure Treasure Pavilion. We only know that White Jade Market is the market of the Shen Immortal Family. All the families, sects, and independant cultivators who come here have to abide by the rules of the Shen Immortal Family.
The Pure Treasure Pavilion is naturally no exception!”
“How dare you!”
A fierce look flashed across Hong Yuan’s eyes.
At this moment, Hong Wentao waved at Hong Yuan and turned to look at Shen Feiyan and Shen Bohong. He narrowed his eyes and said coldly,
“What if we don’t go? What will you or the Shen Immortal Family do?”
Shen Feiyan and Shen Bohong looked at each other.
Then, Shen Bohong suddenly took out the Level 3 talisman from his body and looked like he was about to activate it. He stared at Hong Wentao, Hong Yuan, and the others and said,
“If you refuse to go and insist on violating the rules of the Shen Immortal Family, I’m sorry, but we have every reason to suspect you are colluding with demonic cultivators.
After all, many demonic cultivators have transformation and disguise spells.”
As he spoke, the Level 3 talisman in Shen Bohong’s hand vaguely emitted a terrifying aura and could be activated at any time.
This made the expressions of Hong Wentao, Hong Yuan, and the others change drastically.
“It’s a Level 3 offensive talisman!”
Hong Wentao, Hong Yuan, and the others never expected that the two Qi Refinement Realm cultivators in front of them would actually have a Level 3 offensive talisman.
This was something that even the Violet Palace Realm cultivators were afraid of.
How could they have it…?
Jiang Chengxuan or Shen Ruyan must have given it to them.
Otherwise, it was impossible for the two of them to possess talismans of this level.
Damn it!
Were Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan crazy?
They actually dared to threaten them with such a thing.
The fierce glint flashed across Hong Wentao’s eyes.
In the end, he did not make a move.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but he didn’t dare.
As everyone knew, this White Jade Market was the most important market under the jurisdiction of the Shen Immortal Family. Who knew what hidden weapons there were?
He was currently in the market. Once he attacked, the protective array formation in the market might deal him a blow.
At that time, even if he had the trump card given by his ancestor, it would probably be useless.
It was better to give in for the time being and take revenge on them when there was a chance in the future.
Thinking of this, Hong Wentao’s expression immediately softened. He smiled and said,
“There is no need to go to such an extent. Since Fellow Daoist Jiang and Fellow Daoist Shen have said so, how can we not cooperate?
Let’s go. We’ll follow you to the Conscience Platform for testing..”
