CHAPTER 207: CHAPTER 204- THE OLD WILL REPLACE THE NEW

Park Yong wasn’t the only one who had caught on to what was going on; almost every cultivator in the arena caught on at the same time as he did.

"What is the meaning of this farce!"

The Azure Dragon Sect Leader roared out, and his power swept out.

Byeong-Ho, who was introducing the twelfth item paused and looked over at him.

"Sect Leader Mo, this is an auction. Please consider where you are."

"Bullshit! How is this an auction when no one is bidding on the items?!!"

The Treasure Refinement Sect Leader was the one to yell that sentence.

It didn’t take long for those who didn’t know to catch on to what was happening.

Everyone turned to look at Byeong-Ho.

They had scammed the entire city, placing everyone in debt. Even the auction, which everyone thought would be a way for them to pay off their debt, was a joke.

"Where is that little brat who sold me those medicinal plants and herbs? Bring him out now!"

The Silver Cloud Sect Leader immediately demanded Sol’s appearance. His power increased, and being a Spiritual Realm cultivator everyone on the ground floor felt suffocated. The low-level cultivators who were kind enough sent out their cultivation auras to protect the Mortals in the crowd.

"That’s right, bring out that little bastard!"

Some of the other smaller Clan Leaders on the ground floor started yelling for Sol to come out.

The Silver Cloud Sect Leader suddenly sat back down and calmly looked at Byeong-Ho.

The other Clan Leaders and Sect Leaders in the VIP section were silent as well. They wouldn’t be the ones to raise a ruckus, after all; this was the Martial Alliance Academy they were dealing with.

They would rather incite the smaller Sects and Clans to put pressure on the con artist.

"Disciple Byeong-Ho, we need answers. How could someone of your standing participate in something like this?"

The Azure Dragon Sect Leader said.

"Young Master, do you want me to step in?"

A strong Divine Sense swept out as a mysterious voice reverberated inside the arena.

All the people who were cursing and yelling for Sol to come out had their mouths clamped shut.

The Sect and Clan Leaders in the VIP section all felt a cold chill go down their spines. They were all in the Spiritual Realm, but this Soul Energy was far too powerful. This person was leagues above them in terms of power.

Byeong-Ho folded his hands behind his back and shook his head.

"No need Elder, I can handle it."

Hearing Byeong-Ho’s words, everyone came to know this person was an Elder of the Huashan Sect. But for an Elder of the Huashan Sect to be calling Byeong-Ho Young Master, one could see the type of status he had inside the Sect.

He was an irreplaceable figure who would bring prosperity to their Sect. His value to them truly could not be estimated.

The Divine Sense of this Elder retreated, making everyone release sighs of relief.

"I can understand why everyone is upset at Brother Sol, but he is not the one at fault. After he offered to sell the medicinal plants and herbs of his fellow disciples, he came to you all. He had no ill intentions and only wanted to help his fellow disciples. You are the ones to blame for the positions you’re in. He did not force you to take out a loan to buy his medicinal plants and herbs. Neither is Brother Yoon-Jae to blame as you all willingly signed his contract. How can you seniors of the older generation sit here and gang up on a junior for your own mistakes? Are you not ashamed of yourselves?"

The arena fell deathly silent by the time Byeong-Ho had finished.

It was true. No one forced them to go into debt to buy those medicinal plants and herbs. If news of how they reacted here ever got out, they would be called worse names than shameless old farts.

Byeong-Ho suddenly took out a communication jade slip, and after reading a message he received, he turned to address the crowd.

"Since the Alchemy Pavilion did not foresee this situation, they have decided to purchase all the medicinal plants and herbs from everyone in this auction at double the original price. "

Didn’t foresee this situation their foot! This was all orchestrated by someone.

Suddenly, everyone who placed items up for bid got up wanting to leave. It’s not like they would be seeing that money. If they stay here any longer, they might go insane from the humiliation and frustration that they can’t do anything about it.

However, Byeong-Ho suddenly said.

"Wait, seniors, I have also received some additional news. Brother Yoon-Jae has decided on a way for your debts to be cleared. His initial goal was to allow Mortals to start over in other Cities, but Brother Yoon-Jae instead wants to buy the land all of you own in Pearl City and give it to them."

Park Yong sat back down in his seat and thought that was the best decision.

Even though it left a bitter taste to give up his Clan’s land of origin, he had no problems doing so if it cleared up this massive debt hanging over his head. They were planning to leave anyway.

However, there was the issue of the dimension opening in the future. If that were to happen, then selling their lands in the city would be foolish.

’But it’s been too long, and the dimension shows no sign of being opened. I don’t know what happened, but my instincts tell me this might be a long-term issue.’

Everyone thought this idea was great to repay their debts, but they still felt hesitant.

Byeong-Ho must have read their minds because he suddenly said.

"Of course, there will be a stipulation in the contract that says you all can repurchase your lands if the dimension was to ever be fully opened in the future. But the Mortals are the main priority and your repurchase of the land should not affect them."

With that, all the reservations they had about selling their lands in Pearl City vanished.

Yellow-robed disciples soon flooded the arena and approached the people who owed them money.

Park Yong received the jade slip from the young girl and after skimming the details of the contract inside, he placed a drop of blood on it and made a small Blood Oath to uphold the contract.

Afterward, he handed back the jade slip to the girl who bowed politely and then exited the booth.

Park Yong stood up from his chair and placed his hands behind his back as he looked out at the crowd. His eyes happened to catch sight of Lan Yoo and Lin Hyun.

’The old will replace the new huh? Perhaps it’s time I find myself a successor, the brats nowadays are too much to keep up with.’

After having this thought pass through his mind, Park Yong turned and left the booth along with Sang-Hun.

Little did he or anyone know that signing over their land in Pearl City to Sol was the biggest mistake they would ever make.
