Chapter 184: Incitement

The next day, Mo Hua was drawing array formations inside the tool refining workshop. Outside, the Qian family sent people to cause trouble.

The outer wall of the tool refining workshop wasn't completely built, and the array formations hadn't been drawn properly yet, which gave the Qian family an opportunity to take advantage.

Several cultivators from the Qian family disguised themselves as ordinary loose cultivators and mingled into the tool refining workshop. They found a corner, saw that no one was around, and began to act destructively.

They smashed down several sections of walls, broke some foundation stones, and chopped off several wooden beams. Some array formations that had just been drawn were also smeared away by them.

Several craftsmen discovered them and tried to stop them, but were beaten instead.

Some demon hunters came to help and exchanged hands with them for several rounds. The Qian family cultivators saw that the situation wasn't good and fled immediately.

In the afternoon, the Qian family came again. Although they were eventually driven away by the demon hunters, they still destroyed quite a few buildings.

Master Ban frowned and looked worried because of this. He was concerned that things he worried about were still happening.

Elder Yu was extremely angry after hearing about this matter. He first pretended to go out, then secretly turned back and blended into a group of craftsmen. He wanted to see who was so blind as to dare cause trouble under his nose.

Not long after, that group of cultivators came again.

They thought no one had discovered them and began to do as before, preparing to smash walls and chop beams.

But their every move was within the perception of Elder Yu's divine sense.

Before they could act, Elder Yu leaped up and with one slap each, knocked several cultivators to the ground, spitting blood.

Elder Yu held back and didn't take their lives.

The leading cultivator, covering his face, had a cultivation of Qi Refining Stage Layer 9. When he saw Elder Yu, he turned and ran.

But he was only in the Qi Refining Stage after all, how could he possibly escape from Elder Yu in the Foundation Building Stage?

After a few breaths, he was caught up by Elder Yu. He barely exchanged a few moves before being slapped to his knees by Elder Yu. His shoulder was in severe pain, and his bones were fractured.

Elder Yu tore open the black cloth on his face and scolded:"Qian Shunzhi, so it was you, this little bastard turtle egg!"

Qian Shunzhi gritted his teeth and said:"I've fallen into your hands, to kill or to flay..."

Elder Yu pinched his shoulder hard, and he screamed miserably.

"Pretend your mother is a hero, what kind of person you are, don't I know?" Elder Yu scolded.

Qian Shunzhi hurriedly said:"Elder Yu, Elder Yu! Let's talk properly, I was also... acting on orders!"

"Following whose orders?"

Qian Shunzhi didn't say.

Elder Yu spat, "Nothing but following the orders of that old turtle bastard Qian Hong. What's so difficult to say about this?"

Qian Shunzhi smiled bitterly, "You already know, why ask?"

"I want to see if you're being honest or not," Elder Yu said.

"Elder Yu, whatever you say is true. You are a great man, can you release me?"

Elder Yu laughed coldly, "What dream are you having? If you hadn't fallen into this old man's hands, this old man would still want to find trouble with you. Now you've come to provoke this old man, do you think I'll let you go?"

Elder Yu called people to tie up Qian Shunzhi and the others, then threw them at the main entrance of the Qian family.

"Qian Hong, you shrinking turtle, you don't dare to show your face openly, you plot secretly and sneakily. Are you still a man or not? If you're not a man, then just let your wife remarry and let your son change his surname!"

Elder Yu opened his mouth to scold.

The Qian family gate was tightly shut, with no reaction.

Elder Yu continued to scold, scolding from below to above, finally scolding the Qian family's old ancestor, saying he was ungrateful, saying he was shameless, saying he was a despicable villain.

The Qian family finally couldn't hold back. A Foundation Building Stage elder came out and accused:"Yu Changlin, this is the Qian family, you better not spout nonsense!"

Elder Yu completely ignored him and asked:"Where is that old turtle Qian Hong?"

The Qian family elder frowned:"The family head is not in. If you have anything, just tell me."

Elder Yu coldly snorted, "He can't be not in? He's probably hiding in a woman's quilt, not daring to come out."

"Yu Changlin!" the Qian family elder said angrily.

Elder Yu knew when to stop. He didn't specifically come to scold people, he just happened to scold a few sentences.

There was a lot going on at the tool refining workshop, and he was also very busy.

Elder Yu then said:"Your Qian family people came to my place to cause trouble."

The Qian family elder evaded:"How do you know they are from our Qian family?"

Elder Yu saw that he was about to scold again, and the Qian family elder immediately said:"Alright, what do you want?"

Whether or not they were from the Qian family, everyone knew it in their hearts. They also knew, so there was no need to beat around the bush.

"Want spirit stones!" Elder Yu was simple and direct.

The Qian family elder furrowed his brow, "How many do you want?"

Elder Yu made a ridiculous demand, casually stating a number.

The Qian family elder said angrily:"You're being greedy!"

Elder Yu smiled, "Then we can still bargain, don't rush."

Finally, the two discussed it. One hundred spirit stones per person. The Qian family would use spirit stones to redeem the people, and Elder Yu would not pursue the matter further.

Elder Yu returned with nearly a thousand spirit stones.

Part of these thousand spirit stones were to be divided among the injured craftsmen and demon hunters to treat their injuries and give them some comfort.

The remaining Elder Yu planned to buy some wine and meat to reward everyone and also to help them recover from the shock.

But he also knew that the Qian family wouldn't stop.

The Qian family elder took Qian Shunzhi back and scolded:"You're really useless, how can you be so careless when doing things?"

Qian Shunzhi was helpless, "Elder, it's really not my fault. Who would have thought that old fellow Yu Changlin was so cunning? I personally watched him leave the tool refining workshop before I acted. Who knew he secretly came back and was still wearing craftsman's clothes, blending into the crowd? You couldn't tell at a glance."

The Qian family elder sighed, "Old fellow Yu is indeed cunning."

The most important thing is that he's shameless, thicker-skinned than a tool refining furnace.

Qian Shunzhi asked:"Elder, what should we do next?"

"Still do according to the previous plan," the Qian family elder said, "But you need to be careful. It's best to go at night or when they are resting, harass them and cause trouble. You can't let them stop working, at least you can delay their progress."

"What about that Yu Changlin?" Qian Shunzhi asked.

"He is the elder of the demon hunters, it's impossible for him to always watch the tool refining workshop. There will always be times when he goes out or is negligent."

"But... what if he discovers us?" Qian Shunzhi whispered.

The Qian family elder said faintly:"If you are discovered, just take a beating. At most, we'll just pay him some spirit stones as compensation. He can't really kill you anyway, otherwise, he won't be able to explain it to the Dao Court."

Qian Shunzhi was a bit unwilling.

Being beaten by someone in the Foundation Building Stage is not easy to take...

His body was still hurting now, and his shoulder bones were broken. In the places he was hit, the stagnant spiritual power from the Foundation Building Stage was like maggots attached to his bones, making the pain unbearable.

This was still with Elder Yu holding back, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to keep his life.

The Qian family elder was displeased, "What are you afraid of? You don't have any guts!"

Qian Shunzhi lowered his head and didn't speak.

The Qian family elder then said:"Don't worry, the family head has already said that after the matter is successful, you won't be treated unfairly. If you make a great contribution, those pills for Foundation Building might even be rewarded to you."

Qian Shunzhi's eyes lit up, "Did the family head really say that?"

"Of course, would I lie to you?"

Qian Shunzhi's heart was burning, "Okay, this disciple will stake his life this time and complete the task."

The Qian family elder nodded, "Go, this kind of matter is like a weasel stealing a chicken, it requires patience. There's only the truth of a thousand days of being a thief, not a thousand days of guarding against a thief. They can't possibly not expose any flaws. As long as you watch carefully, you will always find an opportunity."

Qian Shunzhi cupped his hands:"Respectfully follow the elder's instructions."
