Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 132 The Way to Death
The Qingyun Sect shops in the Longevity Market have recently become a source of amusement for many.

The Wu family, who were practicing Qi Refining, claimed that their members had purchased inferior talismans from the Longevity Sect. One of them was injured by a demon beast while traveling and died from his injuries. They then came to the Qingyun Sect's shop every day to cause trouble, demanding an explanation from the Qingyun Sect.

The Qingyun Sect naturally couldn't provide an explanation.

If the Qingyun Sect shows even the slightest sign of weakness, shrewd cultivators will surely line up to extort money from them.

In any case, this place is not within the territory of the Qingyun Sect. Although the Qingyun Sect is a Golden Core sect, it is not appropriate for them to commit such a brutal act of confiscation and extermination on other people's territory.

If the Qingyun Sect really did such a thing, regardless of whether the Changsheng Sect would protest, the Qingyun Sect's reputation would be completely ruined.

If their own talisman causes a death, and instead of apologizing, they commit violence and injury, then probably no one will dare to do business with the Qingyun Sect again.

If the Qingyun Sect's goods have an irreplaceable advantage in the Western Continent, ensuring that even if others dislike them, they can only buy their products, then they can naturally be more domineering.

However, the Qingyun Sect's products mainly focus on low prices and do not have any advantages in performance. Faced with this situation, they naturally cannot be arrogant.

After all this commotion, the Qingyun Sect shops realized they couldn't make a living and had no choice but to close down.

The Wu family did not give up. Instead, they sent their members to keep watch day and night. Whenever they saw anyone entering or leaving the shop, they would immediately return to report.

When they saw Chen Qingxuan and Zhou Qing enter the shop that day, they immediately summoned their family members.

Wu Jinwei, the patriarch of the Wu family, arrived in a menacing manner, accompanied by several clan elders and a group of young and strong men from the clan.

Seeing that there was excitement to be had, the people in the market all gathered around, making the Qingyun Sect's shop completely packed.

The Wu family, which was only at the Qi Refining stage, was just an insignificant small family. The patriarch, Wu Jinwei, was only a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining. Among the countless families in the Western Continent, they were at the very bottom.

These small families are like ants under an elephant's feet when facing the Qingyun Sect. The elephant can crush countless ants with just a light stomp.

Even if the Wu family had a hundred times the courage, they wouldn't have dared to come to the Qingyun Sect's shop to extort money.

However, once you're in the world of cultivation, you're no longer in control of your own actions.

That day, their in-laws, the Lu family of Hongqiu, summoned their patriarch Wu Jinwei, offered him some conditions, and gave him some instructions.

After returning home and thinking it over, Wu Jinwei had no choice but to take on the task.

They could forgo the benefits promised by the Lü family, but living on Changsheng Sect's territory, they couldn't afford to offend the sect's affiliated families.

To the Wu family, the Qingyun Sect was merely a distant giant elephant, while the Lü family was a tiger and leopard right at their doorstep.

Giant elephants might not travel thousands of miles to harm them, but tigers and leopards can truly exploit them to the bone.

Moreover, there is another giant elephant behind the tiger and leopard, which can deter the giant elephant in the distance and prevent it from acting recklessly.

Later, the Lu family of Hongqiu introduced the guests from the Lu family of Huxiao Valley to the Wu family head, making it clear to the Wu family that the person who is now in charge of the Qingyun Sect's shops can absolutely not represent the Qingyun Sect.

The head of the Wu family was finally completely relieved.

He chose a neglected member of a family and arranged a treacherous journey for him. Once the member returned severely injured, just as he had anticipated, the plan would begin.

Wu Jinwei began leading his clansmen to cause trouble at his door.

At first, he was inevitably uneasy.

Although he had prepared himself mentally, he still couldn't help but feel immense pressure when faced with the auspicious cloud symbol on the Qingyun Sect's shop sign. Even disregarding the Qingyun Sect's headquarters, which was tens of thousands of miles away, just this shop itself was guarded by a Foundation Establishment expert, someone who could obliterate him with a single breath.

However, after the commotion, Wu Jinwei discovered that the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator sitting in charge of the shop showed great restraint.

His courage grew even stronger.

Wu Jinwei knew that the Foundation Establishment cultivators inside were wary of the Longevity Sect, and therefore dared not act rashly.

Emboldened by his newfound confidence, Wu Jinwei became increasingly unruly, causing more and more trouble, and changing his antics every day as if he were deliberately trying to provide the people in the market with different kinds of amusement each day.

Wu Jinwei even felt a kind of pleasure that he had never experienced before.

This is a Golden Core sect!
It was something I never imagined before that my small Qi Refining family could one day be able to bully and oppress the Golden Core Sect.

While we have a powerful backer to support him now, we should cause a huge uproar. Afterwards, the prestige of the Wu family will definitely rise to a higher level.

Upon hearing that someone had entered the shop, Wu Jinwei was about to leave when a sudden inspiration struck him, and he came up with another idea.

He had his men bring the deceased disciple, his parents, and his sisters to the market, giving them detailed instructions along the way.

As soon as they arrived outside the shop, the family members, whose heads were covered with white cloth, followed instructions and rushed to the steps in front of the door, bursting into tears and accusing the Qingyun Sect of murdering them for their money.

The people in the market, seeing this new trick, gathered around with great interest, explaining the background to tourists who had just arrived and were unaware of the situation.

The onlookers were all astonished upon hearing this.

One cultivator said, "Although the talismans of the Qingyun Sect cannot be considered top-grade, they shouldn't have such a basic error as suddenly becoming ineffective. I've bought from them a few times before. Although they're not as good as others, they're cheap, making them a good choice for us independent cultivators. How could such a big problem suddenly occur?"

A bystander said, "Qingyun Sect is a Golden Core sect. Do these people have a death wish to provoke them?"

"It's likely that this small family has produced a rare genius who could have elevated the family's status and was highly regarded by the family's elders. However, he was suddenly killed by the family's talisman. In despair, he disregarded the consequences and demanded an explanation from the family."

This statement immediately garnered agreement from those around him.

One of the cultivators said, "No wonder their talismans are so cheap; it seems there's a hidden danger."

The first cultivator said, "I've never heard of such a situation before."

"Hey, dead people don't come after them, of course."

One of the cultivators chuckled and said, "We rogue cultivators have no family to uphold justice. If we die, we die. Who can cause trouble for us?"

"Even those cultivators with families, when faced with a Golden Core sect like this, they can only tolerate it if they can."

Thinking about it this way, the Wu family does have some backbone, which is admirable.

Inside the shop, Zhou Qing and his two senior uncles had already arrived downstairs.

Hearing the discussions outside through the door, both Wang Xuanji and Chen Qingxuan looked solemn.

The public opinion surrounding this incident has been far stronger than they anticipated, and if it is not handled properly, the subsequent troubles could be considerable.

Wang Xuanji set up a soundproof barrier and asked, "Zhou Qing, what do you plan to do?"
