Chapter 390. Yasenia's plan. (Patreon)

After Yasenia turned to look toward the entrance of the building, an old man walked in slowly. He had abundant white hair and lion characteristics. However, his body didn't look very imposing. It was similar to a human elder but with more abundant hair, lion ears on top, and a tail behind him.

However, what made Yasenia squint was the strength radiating from him. She felt she would be disadvantaged if she traded blows with this person.

Yasenia hid her pressure and maintained a posture of wait and see. 'This is getting out of control. I have to be careful now. However, we can't show weakness, so I'll have to balance on thin ice for the rest of our conversation between aggressiveness and diplomacy.'

Meanwhile, Young Master Fu recovered quickly when Yasenia stopped pressuring him. He jumped backward and landed between his guards. However, he couldn't help but curse in his mind when he saw the paralyzed guards. 'Shitty Dragon, how can someone's bloodline pressure be that imposing. Not even those genius I saw from the Central part can compare.'

If he hadn't done training previously to resist this kind of pressure, Yasenia could have paralyzed even him.

He looked at Yasenia with a sinister gaze, but he realized that she wasn't looking at him but toward the entrance of the building.

Following her gaze, Young Master Fu saw who was walking over, and his smile widened. 'Ha! Now you are out of luck!'

"Master! You've arrived at a perfect time. I know I told you I would finish my shopping fast, but some rude people stood in my way. I can't deal with them easily, so I hope master can lend me a hand in the matter."

The old man looked at the situation with a scrutinizing gaze. Then, he laughed and said. "You cheeky brat, are you trying to take advantage of your elder already?" Then, with fake anger, he reprimanded. "You have to take care of yourself! You are still a junior, so you should leave trouble to your elders."

Tatyana internally sneered. 'No wonder he is this rotten. Not allowing the juniors to suffer is the bane of countless outstanding geniuses.'

Young Master Fu smiled and said. "I'm sorry elder, my righteousness wouldn't allow me to see this evil continue doing as they wanted, so I chewed off more than I could take."

The Elder sighed, "Who told you to be the most talented person in Koran City? I've heard your plight, disciple, and now this Elder will have to resolve your grievances even if I am unwilling."

Ghana's face became ugly when this man appeared. 'An elder from a Nine sect... Crap, I'm trapped between a wall and a hard place.'

Yasenia returned to the girls' side and observed this Elder closely. Just hearing their conversation was enough to have a poor impression of him. However, she wasn't in a position where she could kill as she wanted.

Although she wasn't proficient in identifying the Body Cultivation level, she could guess that his strength was similar to someone between the fifth and seventh levels of a Unification Realm expert. 'Barely inside the gap mom told me I could fight against. However, I feel she has underestimated my strength since my growth has been rather startling. Even then, I should tread this situation carefully.'

Ghana didn't know what to do.

However, she decided to explain his identity to Yasenia at least. "He is an elder from the [Nine Herb Fragrance Sect]. This sect gained the "Nine" title after defeating the previous Nine alchemy sect in an alchemy duel. Moreover, they had secretly stolen many of the previous Nine Alchemy sect customers, so they not only defeated them but ended up devouring and assimilating many of their strongest experts. The previous Nine alchemy sect can't be considered even a second-rate sect today. Although this happened five hundred years ago, it is still one of the most talked about subjects."

Yasenia frowned. 'A new power is the most troubling. They have strength similar to ancient sects, but their guts are still quite big, and their arrogance has yet to settle down.'

Yasenia turned her eyes toward him. She didn't want trouble to hit them so soon, but who would've thought this rash fellow was so unreasonable?

Yasenia thought that after a few hidden threats and explaining that they

didn't want trouble, he would retreat, but he was so stubborn that it

was impressive in its own right.

Of course, they could've relented the cauldron, which, by the way, they weren't interested in. However, there was a limit between letting her dears act like a slave and allowing other people to trample them. Some grievances can't be swallowed, or else the sharpness of their character may dull.

Moreover, he had been very insistent on buying Angel and the other human girls, something Yasenia hated.

Yasenia didn't fear Koran City but was very cautious about this Alchemy sect with the "Nine" title.

Regardless, she wouldn't show weakness. If she did so, it would convey that they were easily bullied.

Yasenia's eyes flashed with various calculations, thinking of a way to escape this unscathed and maintain their hidden nature.

The old lion man asked Young Master Fu. "So, what's the problem? Did they try to bully you while I was away?"

"Of course not. What could they do to bully me? However, I've told them I wanted to buy their human slaves, but they refused and threatened my life."

The old man's face fell.

Kali spoke at this moment. "These humans have grown with me since I was little. Therefore, I don't want to sell them. Please, senior, don't force our hand. We don't want trouble with Young Master Fu or your sect."

Tatyana and Yasenia looked at Kali and shook their head. 'If you speak like that, they will think you are easy to bully.'

Tatyana looked around and thought to herself. 'Well, I won't interfere and let them learn how absurd this World is.'

Meanwhile, Yasenia communicated. 'Honey, let me speak. I'll need your help later, but remember not to speak unless I say so or you have a good idea. However, first, ask me about it.'

Kali blinked twice and nodded.

The old man snorted and said. "Since you are so polite, I will give you a chance. Sell them all for one high-grade Parus, and I will let bygones be bygones. Our [Nine Herb Fragrance Sect] doesn't like bullying weak powers, after all."

Yasenia's eyes cooled down, and she said. "Elder, I will give you some advice. Don't think we are easy to bully. Although she politely asked you, that doesn't mean we fear your sect. Therefore, you should really think things through."

The Elder's face became livid, and he shouted. "You daring young Dragon! Who brought you up to be so malicious? Now, forget about buying them, you either give them to me, or I kill you and give them to you."

Tatyana's eyes cooled down, but she remained silent.

Yasenia's face became icy cold. "Since you refuse to speak nicely, you leave me with no choice."

Then, Yasenia stealthily unfurled [Empyrean Dragon Authority] full force and focused it on the Elder.

The others only saw an invisible pressure descending on the Elder. Then, the Elder froze briefly under the overwhelming pressure Yasenia exerted on him.

Yasenia didn't fail to use that time frame to strike at him.

*BANG!*

Under the shocked eyes of the people here, they saw the Elder's feet leaving the ground after a golden claw smacked his chest.

Like a cannonball, the Elder shot backward with tremendous force.

However, Yasenia's face was severe. 'Although I haven't used much strength, it felt like slapping a solid steel plate instead of a person. A body cultivator's physique is on another whole level.'

With a loud explosion, the Elder's body landed on the wall and rebounded off of it. However, the strength Yasenia sued wasn't enough to make him fall. With difficulty, he landed on his feet, shock coloring his face.

Yasenia didn't make a follow-up attack. She just observed the Elder with a cold gaze and said. "Now you should understand that we are not easy to bully. What I've shown you was just a minuscule part of my strength, and killing you instantly is just child's play for me."

The Elder woke up from his shock after hearing Yasenia and looked up at her with wary eyes.

Yasenia snorted and said. "Don't look at me that way. Your junior was rude to us, yet we didn't touch him, treating him with the respect he is entitled to for being part of an esteemed Nine sect. If he were just part of Koran City, we would've already crippled him. However, even if he deserves respect because of your sect, we aren't lambs for slaughter. Now I ask. Will the Elder continue pushing our petty skirmish, or can we talk slowly and respectfully between seniors?"

The Elder's face was pale as he looked at Yasenia.

Yasenia's attack didn't injure him heavily, but her pressure was like a claw squeezing his soul. 'What a terrifying level of Bloodline Pressure! They are not simple.'

Under the stunned eyes of the spectators, after ten seconds of silence, the Elder asked with a respectful tone. "May I know from which clan you are?"

Yasenia turned and walked toward Kali and the others, "Leave and don't bother yourself with things beyond your capabilities. You already have an age, so you should know when you should and should not push the matter. We offended neither you nor your sect, so we have no enmity. Soon, I planned on visiting the sect with interesting rewards, such as this one."

Yasenia motioned Kali to step forward and show one of their highest-quality pills. It was a low-level Transcendence that allowed people to break through into the Dantian Spiritualization Realm without troubles. It was a present Elder Frederick gave Kali in the past for being his apprentice.

Just the presence of the pill sucked in the energy in the surroundings, and everyone in the shop couldn't help but suck in a deep breath. The aroma from it was enticing to say the least.

There were many greedy eyes, but when Yasenia looked around and released a strand of her aura, they took a step back and looked down.

The Elder saw the pill's quality, and his eyes widened. 'Such a powerful aura coming from the pill. Not even the sect master can do something like this! They must be from a hidden power.'

He got thoughtful and observed Yasenia's group back. They were already leaving the hall through the entrance. 'Let's forget about this, they really didn't do anything excessive and showed mercy to our disciples.'

Young Master Fu wasn't satisfied, and he said. "Elder, they've humiliated us so much. How could you not slaughter them?"

Yasenia stopped walking and half-turned her head. When the Elder looked at those thinned golden slit eyes, he felt a subconscious chill climbing up his spine.

He turned around and...

*SLAP!*

"You stupid disciple. Can't you think with your brain for once!? They've already shown us so much face even after we wanted to force them to do something so humiliating, yet you want to continue this farce!? I've really misunderstood you. You'll enter as an outer disciple instead of an inner disciple and train your heart from scratch."

Young Master Fu opened his eyes as his head whipped to the side.

Had someone slapped him in like this during his more than forty years of life? No one has even dared to lay a hand on him, yet today, he was slapped like this!

He looked at the Elder with incredulity and stuttered. "E-Elder, how could you side with outsiders? Our sect is invincible; we shouldn't lower our heads to no one!"

The Elder squinted. "Stop speaking before you also become an outsider."

Then, the Elder swept his eyes across the other students, and they couldn't help but shrink and look down with guilt. "Don't think you all will escape punishment."

The Elder turned toward the entrance and saw that they had disappeared. Then, he took a deep breath and said. "Come with me. We are leaving for the sect. Staying here is redundant since you all need training."

Young Master Fu was about to protest again, but when he received the Elder's sharp gaze, he shut up and followed behind with unreconciled feelings.
