Chapter 216: Disgusting
The black-dressed woman showed neither fear nor anger, only letting out a cold laugh, saying, "Look now. None of the courtesans have taken a liking to any of you. By the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion's procedure, the six thousand gold is now due."
As she spoke, the black-dressed woman extended a hand in a token gesture of collection, though it was obvious the group before her could not possibly produce the full amount in gold.
At that moment, the hemp-robed elderly man said nothing further. He simply raised his hand and grabbed through the air.
The True Qi of heaven and earth around him condensed into a palm, which locked all six courtesans in the hall in place and drew them to stand before him.
"Heaven-Human?"
The black-dressed woman's pupils contracted sharply and her face filled with shock. As a martial Grandmaster herself, True Qi erupted from her in an instant and she flashed backward without hesitation.
Even though the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion was a Falling God Peak establishment, it was ultimately nothing more than a low-ranking house of entertainment. That she as its madam possessed such strength was only because Falling God Peak placed value on the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion's ability to generate enormous daily income.
To be honest, the moment she had entered the hall she had quietly assessed the situation of every person in Li Musheng's group.
She could sense that the True Qi within the hemp-robed elderly man was held close and contained, which she had taken to mean he was at minimum a martial artist of Grandmaster level or above. Yet she never could have imagined the man was a Heaven-Human level martial artist.
