The attitude of the disciple in blue was extremely unpleasant at first.

But after seeing the porcelain bottle Gu Cheng handed over, he immediately beamed with joy.

This is a top-grade minor essence pill, each worth over five hundred thousand!

Gu Cheng offered three pills, and he is the son of Gu Changtian, the number one expert in Sichuan.

Letting him in now, of course, is not a problem.

"So you are the son of Master Gu Changtian, my apologies for the disrespect."

"Although lately, outsiders are not allowed to freely enter and exit the Xuanqi Sect."

"However, given Young Master Gu Cheng's esteemed status, please come with me."

The words from the disciple in blue were mere courtesy.

This place is the Xuanqi Sect, with the Sect Leader's order in place, they would dare to stop anyone, even the sons of Grandmasters.

Now he is so courteous to Gu Cheng mainly because Gu Cheng knew how to handle things, giving benefits where they were due.

At the same time, in the main hall of the Xuanqi Sect.

Many high-level members of the Xuanqi Sect were discussing matters related to Zhang Xiaoshan.

The Xuanqi Sect had one Sect Leader and six Elders.

These seven people comprised the entire high level of the Xuanqi Sect.

The Sect Leader, Li Chengfeng, had been in seclusion for artifact refining for some time and had not emerged yet.

With the Sect Leader absent, these six people were in command of the significant and minor affairs of the Xuanqi Sect.

The Sixth Elder was the first to speak:

"Senior brothers, our actions in this matter may not be appropriate."

"The newly rising Master Zhang is definitely not to be trifled with."

"This time, Master Zhang did not provoke the Xuanqi Sect; instead, Xia He was the one to offend him first."

"Now we have issued the Martial Arts Blood Chasing Order against Master Zhang, which will only escalate the conflict."

"In my opinion, we should immediately withdraw the Martial Arts Blood Chasing Order against Master Zhang."

"Moreover, we should find a way to locate Master Zhang and have a good discussion with him."

Among the many elders, the Sixth Elder was the youngest.

However, he clearly had a very perceptive view of matters.

This time, he had already seen that their decision might cause trouble for the Xuanqi Sect.

"Hahahaha..."

After the Sixth Elder finished speaking, the Second Elder burst into laughter.

The Second Elder shook his head as he laughed and said,

"Junior brother, you really underestimate yourself and overestimate others."

"Even though the stories about Master Zhang are widespread outside, no one in the Xuanqi Sect has seen him in person."

"Imagine, a young man in his twenties, even if he has miraculously cultivated to the God Realm, how powerful can he really be?"

"As long as we stay within the Xuanqi Sect, we aren't afraid of Master Zhang daring to cause us trouble."

"If he truly comes over, we'll make sure he comes in and doesn't go out."

The Second Elder obviously doubted Zhang Xiaoshan's strength.

He harbored strong hostility toward Zhang Xiaoshan.

For many years, no forces or martial artists had dared to openly offend the Xuanqi Sect.

Zhang Xiaoshan had evidently set a bad precedent.

"Senior brothers."

Seeing the Second Elder and others persisting in their ways, the Sixth Elder couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.

Fortunately, at this moment, the Great Elder made the final decision.

"There's no need to discuss this matter further."

"Once the Martial Arts Blood Chasing Order is issued, it cannot be retracted just like that."

"We remain within the Xuanqi Sect, and we do not believe that Master Zhang dares to come here."

"If he does come, it will be just the opportunity to show him the power of the Xuanqi Sect!"

The meaning behind the Great Elder's words was clear to the other elders.

Even the Ma family of Mirror Lake Villa had the lethal weapon like the Cloud Sea Killing Formation.

The Xuanqi Sect, a sect of artifact refining with unbroken legacy, naturally had its own formidable cards.

Meanwhile, under the lead of the disciple in blue, Zhang Xiaoshan and his group had already entered the Xuanqi Sect.

However, they couldn't see the elders of the Xuanqi Sect; they could only meet the many artifact refiners of the sect.

In one artifact refining hall, Master Wang Chongyu was having an eloquent conversation with other artifact refiners.

Wang Chongyu's level of artifact refining was considered quite high within the Xuanqi Sect.

With high artifact refining skills, one's status and position in the Xuanqi Sect naturally wouldn't be low.

"Hmm?"

Wang Chongyu was having an enjoyable conversation with several other artifact refiners.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the gatekeeping disciple led a group of strangers over.

"Shen Bai, what's going on?"

"I said this is a special period; you're not allowed to bring people in, didn't I?"

Seeing Shen Bai bringing Zhang Xiaoshan and the others over, Wang Chongyu was immediately very displeased.

Although the other artifact refiners also had some thoughts.

They were evidently not as agitated as Wang Chongyu.

Seeing this, Gu Cheng immediately understood that he must win over this Artifact Refiner Wang Chongyu.

The other artifact refiners seemed easy to deal with.

But this artifact refiner clearly wasn't someone easily handled.

"Junior Master Wang, please forgive me."

"These two are the children of Gu Changtian, the number one expert in Sichuan."

"After they revealed their identity, I thought they could be allowed entry into the Xuanqi Sect."

"If I did something wrong, I ask for Junior Master's punishment."

After this disciple finished speaking, Wang Chongyu was taken aback as well.
