Qiyang Building headquarters, in front of the main gate.

  Elder Zhengping gazed solemnly ahead, where a vast expanse of people sat cross-legged on the broad avenue. All of them wore robes with the emblem of Xi Yang House embroidered on them.

  Apart from these people, the streets were also filled with onlookers, numerous gazes projected from buildings in all directions, with a sense of watching a spectacle.

  Because it is also unknown whether it was intentional or unintentional, anyway, the dispute in Xiyang's house has already spread throughout Dashacheng, attracting attention from various forces.

  "Tang Yun, Lu Xiao Feng, you two are considered old-timers of Xi Yang Wu, yet when the master sent you to develop the Xi Yang Wu branch, you ended up joining forces with that Pei Huang. Do you still have the face to come here?" Zheng Ping scolded loudly.

  In front of the many meditating cultivators, there were two middle-aged men who were apparently the leaders of these cultivators. When they heard Zheng Ping's curses, their faces twitched.

  "Hehe, Zheng Ping, this statement is not correct. Pei Huan is also a disciple of the master, and now that both masters are missing, Pei Huan has stood up to revive Luolan Manor. They're helping Pei Huan, what's wrong with that?" But before they could respond, a laugh echoed from the side.

  Zheng Ping glared sideways: "Pang Qianchi, isn't the Young Master keeping you idle at home? How did you pop out again?"

  The person who spoke was the former vice chairman of the Xi Yang Wu Zong headquarters. Because he wanted to compete for the position of General Chairman but failed, he was directly laid off by Li Luo.

  Pang Qianchi sneered, but in fact, he had been extremely angry lately. He originally thought that after developing in Xi Yang Wu for many years, many people were his own, which was also the capital of his daring to compete for the general chairman.

  In his view, once he left Xi Yang House, it would inevitably become a mess, and in the end, Li Luo would still have to invite him back to stabilize the situation.

  But this month, Xi Yang's house did not become as chaotic as he had hoped, and instead, various performances have been gradually improving, which makes him a bit restless.

  He had secretly wanted to invite some former close friends from the Quyuan House high-level to have a clandestine conversation, to understand the current situation inside the Quyuan House, but unexpectedly those who used to drink and chat with him all declined his invitation.

  Apparently, Li Luo's control over Xi Yang House was faster than he had imagined.

  Pang Qianchi also understood that all of this was because of the Secret Method Source Water brought out by Li Luo. That pure degree of Secret Method Source Water had a great attraction to Refining Masters.

  Furthermore, Li Luo has improved the treatment of the Xiyangwu Zhenxiashi, and now it can be said that everyone's heart is in one body.

  Pang Qianchi realized that things couldn't go on like this, so when Tang Yun and the others from the Refining Department arrived at Dashu City, he almost immediately got in touch with them.

  "Zhen Ping elder, although I am idle at home, but not a prisoner, can't I go out?"

  Pang Qianchi smiled and then pointed at Tang Yun and others, saying indignantly: "I was just speaking up for the brothers in our department. They have paid so much heart and soul for the development of Xi Yang Wu, but now they are being ignored. The young master of Shaofu is clearly holding onto the secret method of refining Yuan Shui, yet he is unwilling to share it with the brothers in the department. Isn't this chilling?"

  Zheng Ping's face turned red with rage, and he burst out laughing. "You bunch of traitors," he cursed, "you've all defected to Pei Huan, and now you're coming back to ask the Young Master for the source of the Secret Water?"

  But he couldn't say such things in public, or wouldn't it directly imply that there was a split within the Qingyang House? That would damage the reputation of the Qingyang House. Moreover, some of these branch disciples were not entirely loyal to Pei Huan, they were just being coerced.

  If they speak too harshly here, it will undoubtedly push these people to the opposite side.

  So he could only let out a cold snort and say: "What's there to discuss that can't be done here, what's the point of blocking the way?"

  In front of the meditating Alchemist, a middle-aged man named Tang Yun spoke up: "As long as the Lord of the Minor Prefecture is willing to allocate some of the Secret Method's Source Water to our Western Ridge County branch, we will leave."

  Zheng Ping's face turned red with rage, but he could do nothing and had to wave his sleeve in a huff, leaving the matter for Shao Fu Zhu and Miss Jiang to handle.

  Both sides communicated without success and then neither of them spoke again, continuing the stalemate.

  The crowd of onlookers is also growing larger and larger.

  On a wine tower nearby.

  By the window, Da Ze North Xuan's face wore a cold smile as he gazed at the entrance of the Creek Sun House, saying: "I wonder how Li Luo and the others will wrap things up this time. Anyway, I've already spread the word that the Da Ze manor has helped him."

  Next to Du Ze Bei Xuan was Du Ze Hong Lian, a fiery and passionate woman with bright red lips. She glanced sideways at the other side and said, "That Li Luo still has some skills, originally I thought that Han Zhi's previous move would be enough to directly knock down Xi Yang Wu, but unexpectedly they were able to hold on again."

  Dou Ze Bei Xuan furrowed his brow and said, "It's said that Li Luo brought out a Secret Origin Water of purity comparable to the top seven grades, turning the situation around."

  "...the mysterious source water of the highest seven-grade purity..."

  Dou Ze's eyes narrowed, this level of secret method source water is not common, even if they are the "Great Dou Ze House" of Dou Ze Prefecture, after studying for so many years and paying countless research and development costs, it is only a mid-grade seven-rank secret method source water.

  Xiyang House has such a powerful tool, it's not hard to stabilize the situation, and even giving it time, the momentum will become more and more fierce. But fortunately, Xiyang House is not enough in its foundation, and in terms of formula research, it lags far behind Daze House...

  "The Xiyang House is seriously lacking in masters, this time if they can't even handle the situation, our Duzefu can help them spread their family shame. I wonder how many more masters will be willing to go to Xiyang House in the future." Duzehong Lian said calmly.

  Dou Ze Bei Xuan smiled and nodded, the depression in his heart caused by the ranking battle finally eased a bit.

  When Dou Ze's sister and brother were watching the excitement, another location in the same building.

  Pei Hao sat in the room, calmly drinking tea alone, with a cup of tea placed on the table opposite him.

  He didn't look at the commotion in the direction of the Qingyang House headquarters, but instead stared deeply into the water surface in his cup, where his face was reflected.

  This time I came to Dashaci, somewhat urgent.

  Because Pei Hao did not expect that since parting with the old mansion a few months ago, Li Luo's body would undergo such a huge change.

  Not only did he come first in the Tian Shu County Grand Exam, but he also entered the Sacred Xuan Star Academy. The latest intelligence reveals that Li Luo has even exposed his dual nature...

  This time, the news that came one after another made Pei Hao's heart uncontrollably surge with a sense of shock at things spinning out of control.

  The young master of Shaofu, who was previously considered a waste by him, suddenly rose up.

  "Li Luo..."

  Pei Hao's face was expressionless, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to crush the teacup directly. Then he raised his head and looked at a carriage rushing towards him from afar on the street.

  "It seems our struggle has to be advanced."

  "This is just an appetizer for you."
