"What's wrong? Unwilling?" Gun Wushuang coldly glanced at Wang Yi and said, "I'll count to three. If you haven't apologized by the time I reach three, you two can forget about standing there."
"One."
"Two."
"Three..."
"I'm sorry."
Wang Yi coldly stared at the smug expression on Gun Wushuang's face, finally managing to suppress the anger rising in his heart.
"Hahaha, now that's more like it," Gun Wushuang said triumphantly.
"Wang brother, let's go." Yang Jun's face was ashen as he looked at Gun Wushuang and said, "Gun Wushuang, I won't let this matter rest."
"Hahaha, I, Gun Wushuang, am always ready," Gun Wushuang said with a wave of his hand, then mounted his horse and left.
Five days later.
"Earth Spirit Realm, Sevenfold."
Wang Yi gently exhaled a breath of pent-up frustration, feeling much refreshed.
In order to avoid revealing his true strength, Wang Yi used the Concealment Technique to control his entire realm to the Transcendence Realm, Sevenfold. This way, even with Yang Gang's strength, he wouldn't be able to see through it.
"I need two more before I can restore my strength and use Vital Energy. Patience," Wang Yi murmured.
Now that the great revenge has not been fulfilled, one can only endure.
To endure is to grow!
If one cannot even bear this little humiliation, how can they talk about being a strong person like He Cheng, and how can they seek revenge?
Thinking of this, Wang Yi gritted his teeth and immediately walked out of the room, only to find the Yang Family silent, with no one in the backyard.
Suddenly, a sound came from the front yard. Wang Yi's gaze flickered, and his body vanished from the spot, appearing in the front yard the next moment.
What came into view was a large group of people rushing into the Yang Family, confronting Yang Gang and his son.
This group of people all held long guns. At the forefront were two individuals; one wore a black coat and held a black long gun, standing majestically in the courtyard, staring directly at Yang Gang with a cold expression. Standing beside him was Wang Yi, who was Gun Wushuang.
"Wang brother, why are you here?" Yang Jun hurriedly approached Wang Yi upon seeing him and whispered.
"What is going on?" Wang Yi asked.
"They are from the God Gun Sect. The one holding the long gun is Gun Wushuang's father, Gun Invincible. They have come to demand that our Yang Family hand over all the shops in Yuncheng," Yang Jun said with a worried expression.
Wang Yi nodded and followed his gaze. He saw that this person named Gun Invincible was about forty years old, possessing an unfathomable strength at the third level of Yuan Realm, which was simply not something Yang Gang could withstand.
"Third level of Yuan Realm," Yang Gang exclaimed in shock.
"Hahaha, that's right! I have already broken through to the third level. Do you remember what I said?" Gun Invincible laughed loudly. "I said that the day I break through to the third level will be the day your Golden Blade Merchant Association is destroyed."
"Hmph, Gun Invincible, what does it matter that you've broken through the third level? You think you can destroy my Golden Blade Merchant Association? It's not that easy." Yang Gang took a deep breath and said, "Even if you destroy my Golden Blade Merchant Association, your God Gun Sect will suffer heavy losses as well. The ones who benefit won't be your God Gun Sect, but others."
"Hmph, Yang Gang, don't pretend to be calm. Today is the day of your Golden Blade Merchant Association's demise." Gun Invincible's expression suddenly turned cold, and his voice became much deeper.
"Then come at me!" Yang Gang laughed proudly and said, "My Golden Blade Merchant Association is not made up of cowards; we are all heroes. Right, everyone?"
"Yes."
"We are willing to live and die with the Golden Blade Merchant Association."
"We swear to live and die with the Golden Blade Merchant Association."
The members of the Golden Blade Merchant Association shouted in unison, their momentum reaching an unparalleled height, causing the disciples of the God Gun Sect to change their expressions drastically.
Seeing the members of the Golden Blade Merchant Association so high-spirited, Gun Invincible's face turned ashen. Just as Yang Gang said, with the strength of the God Gun Sect, it would not be easy to annihilate the Golden Blade Merchant Association. Even if they won, it would be a pyrrhic victory; in the end, the ones who would benefit would definitely not be the God Gun Sect, but other forces watching from afar.
"President, it's bad! It's really bad!"
At that moment, a disciple of the Golden Blade Merchant Association rushed in anxiously and shouted, "President, our association has been attacked by the God Gun Sect, suffering heavy losses. A large amount of goods has been destroyed."
"What?"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, the members of the Golden Blade Merchant Association were thrown into chaos, each one panicking.
"What?" Yang Gang exclaimed, looking at Gun Invincible in shock. "Despicable."
"What should we do? It seems that this time the God Gun Sect really intends to destroy our Golden Blade Merchant Association."
"I think we should leave!"
"Everyone, don't panic. Evil cannot triumph over righteousness. Our Golden Blade Merchant Association will not be destroyed just like that. Let's not lose our composure," Yang Jun urged anxiously.
"Hmph, how bold! You dare to spread such treacherous words? You deserve to die." Yang Gang's expression turned cold as he slapped the person on the head, and before the latter could react, he was dead.
"Everyone, be quiet. This person is a spy planted by the God Gun Sect in our Golden Blade Merchant Association. I had already noticed it, and today it has indeed come to light." Yang Gang waved his hand and looked at Gun Invincible with hatred. "Gun Invincible, if you have any tricks left, just show them! Our Golden Blade Merchant Association is not afraid."
"What? So he is a spy from the God Gun Sect."
"So that's it; he must be killed."
The chaotic crowd quickly quieted down upon seeing this, each face filled with anger and killing intent, eager to rush at the members of the God Gun Sect immediately.
Meanwhile, Wang Yi narrowed his eyes. Yang Gang appeared to be a hot-tempered person, but at such a life-and-death moment, he was decisive and calm—truly worthy of being a leader.
"Gun Invincible, you are a smart person, right? What do you want?" Yang Gang said coldly.
"Hehe, from now on, there can only be one power in Yuncheng. What do you want to do?" Gun Invincible sneered and paused before continuing, "However, since we have known each other for many years and have fought against each other, it has hurt our harmony. Why don't we have a contest between our two factions? The winner will become the ruler of Yuncheng; otherwise, leave Yuncheng... Do you dare?" After finishing, Gun Invincible fixed his cold gaze on Yang Gang without moving, a hint of coldness curling at the corners of his mouth.
"Good." Yang Gang's eyes shone brightly as he spoke firmly and decisively. "How do you want to compete?"
"Father..." Yang Jun said.
"You and I are nearly equal in strength, so why not let the younger generation have a match? What do you think?" Gun Invincible said. "The time will be tomorrow at noon."
"It's a deal," Yang Gang declared loudly.
"Let's go." Gun Invincible waved his hand, and the spear in his hand vanished before he turned and walked out the door.
"Yang Gang, make sure you're on time tomorrow; don't play dead then!" Gun Wushuang glanced deeply at Yang Jun and smiled. "Let's go!"
"Gun Wushuang, we will see the outcome tomorrow," Yang Jun retorted defiantly.
"Everyone need not worry. I, Golden Blade Merchant Association, have established ourselves in Yuncheng for over a decade, overcoming great difficulties until now. Therefore, I believe that this time victory will still belong to us, Golden Blade Merchant Association," Yang Gang said as he scanned the crowd with bright eyes and spoke in a loud voice.
"Yes," everyone replied in unison.
Soon, only Wang Yi and the Yang father-son duo remained in the courtyard.
"Wang Xianzi, our Golden Blade Merchant Association is facing a great calamity. I cannot guarantee whether we can get through this. You should leave today!" Yang Gang said to the calm-faced Wang Yi.
"What? Senior Yang, my injuries have not yet healed, and you are so eager to send me away?" Wang Yi replied with a faint smile.
"Brother Wang, my father is right. Gun Invincible is extremely treacherous; you should leave first!" Yang Jun said anxiously as he saw Wang Yi's indifferent expression, clearly not taking it seriously.
"Alright, Brother Yang, you need not persuade me further. I have already made up my mind to stay until my injuries are healed," Wang Yi waved his hand.
"Well, since that's the case, Wang Xianzi, you should stay here for a while longer," Yang Gang said helplessly.
After that, Wang Yi returned to his room.
"I hope there's still time," Wang Yi murmured.
At noon the next day, Yang Gang and his son led the elite warriors of the Golden Blade Merchant Association to the arena, while Wang Yi did not go. At this time, he had not yet recovered his strength and could not use Primordial Energy. Going would be of no use, so he stayed at the Yang Family.
Inside the room.
Wang Yi sat cross-legged on the bed, his expression calm and his gaze indifferent. Surrounding him were dozens of High-Quality Origin Stones, and the air was thick with Vital Energy, which was incredibly abundant.
He exhaled a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and spread his hands. He then began to circulate his cultivation method. At that moment, a sound of cracking filled the air as a Yuan Stone shattered, transforming into streams of Vital Energy that flowed into Wang Yi's body, gathering in his Dantian.
Concentrate the energy in the Dantian, holding onto the essence.
The massive Vital Energy surged into the Dantian, causing Wang Yi's realm to rise sharply, and in the blink of an eye, he had returned to the first level of the Yuan Realm.
At this moment, his meridians were filled with Vital Energy, which was terrifyingly powerful.
Refine!
As time slowly passed, Wang Yi focused all his mind on cultivation, refining the Vital Energy.
Time passed, and when he awoke from his cultivation, it was already night.
"I wonder how the competition turned out?" Wang Yi murmured as he looked out at the bright moon.
At that moment, there was a creak outside, and the door was pushed open. Yang Jun walked in, forcing a smile as he said, "I lost. According to our agreement, the Golden Blade Merchant Association must leave Yuncheng tomorrow."
"Is there no way?" Wang Yi asked in a deep voice.
"A way? There is, but it's incredibly difficult to achieve," Yang Jun replied. "That would require a warrior who can defeat Gun Invincible to help the Golden Blade Merchant Association. But that's wishful thinking; in Yuncheng, the highest cultivation level is only Gun Invincible at the third level of Yuan Realm." After saying this, Yang Jun's face fell, filled with disappointment.
"There is one more way," Wang Yi said softly.
"One more? Brother Wang, what do you mean by that?" Yang Jun asked in surprise.
"There's no time. Brother Yang, just know that if we get through tomorrow, the Golden Blade Merchant Association won't have to leave Yuncheng," Wang Yi said confidently.
"But we must leave Yuncheng tomorrow; otherwise, given Gun Invincible's character, he certainly won't let it go and will come looking for us," Yang Jun said with a hint of worry on his brow.
"Just relay my words to your father; he will understand," Wang Yi replied.
