Chapter 1452 - Heavenly Spirit Diagram
The clash between the two sects had truly begun. Until now, they had fought in the shadows, but their conflict had finally erupted into the open.
The moment the Grand Unity Sect stepped forward, it was as good as admitting they stood behind the Divine Alchemy Sect and the Giant Spirit Hall's provocations against the Heavenly Dao Society.
Zhuge Ming moved up with several elders of the Heavenly Dragon Sect and took his place behind Liu Wuxie. From that instant on, the confrontation no longer involved only the Heavenly Dao Society and the Grand Unity Sect; it had escalated into a standoff between the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Grand Unity Sect.
"Liu Wuxie, what Elder Yan said isn't entirely wrong. Sixth-grade spiritual pills only target the low-end market, and they're not suitable in Nightmare City," said those who supported the Grand Unity Sect, convinced his reasoning held weight.
"What a joke! Who made up the rule that sixth-grade spiritual pills aren't allowed in Nightmare City?" others retorted from the crowd, siding with the Heavenly Dao Society. Low-end products had their own market, and the Grand Unity Sect had no right to meddle in that.
Arguments collided back and forth across the plaza, both factions insisting their stance made sense.
"Since Elder Yan claimed that pills produced by the Heavenly Dao Society are garbage, shouldn't you be the one to give the Heavenly Dao Society an explanation?" Liu Wuxie countered. Since the Grand Unity Sect had taken the initiative to step forward and let others slap them, he had no intention of letting them walk away with their dignity intact.
They called sixth-grade spiritual pills garbage only because this was Nightmare City. Across the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain, sixth-grade spiritual pills still commanded an enormous market.
"Since ancient times, there's been a silent agreement between the various forces that sixth-grade spiritual pills aren't allowed in Nightmare City's exhibition phase. Since the Heavenly Dao Society has broken that rule, you naturally have to be punished for it," Elder Yan declared, cloaking himself in righteousness.
This so-called agreement had always been silent and never formally enforced; at best, it was a tacit understanding among the various forces.
Liu Wuxie turned to Zhuge Ming for confirmation, and Zhuge Ming gave a slight nod. There was indeed such an unspoken rule: pills beneath seventh-grade spiritual pills were not to be displayed during the exhibition segment.
After all, seventh-grade spiritual pills were the leading sellers in the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain. In contrast, eighth-grade spiritual pills, though more coveted, existed in too small a quantity to support the mass market.
