Chapter 523: Chapter 523: Fighting Young Master Cao
Seeing the cold look in Chairman Qian’s eyes, Cao Tianxing simply scoffed, his face thick with disdain. "What? Don’t tell me you’re thinking of resisting?"Hearing his father’s words, Young Master Cao’s face also filled with contempt.
"Cao Tianxing, do you think I don’t know why you want me dead? It’s all because you want to put your son in my position. Of all the heads of the Five Great Cities in the Eastern Domain, I’m the only one who isn’t one of your people, appointed directly by headquarters instead. Because of that, you’ve resented me for decades and wanted to kill me, haven’t you?" Chairman Qian asked coldly.
"Haha, so what if it is? Let me tell you, you brought this on yourself today. You publicly defied a direct order from headquarters. Even if I execute you, headquarters won’t punish me." Hearing Chairman Qian’s words, Cao Tianxing laughed loudly and admitted it without hesitation.
Now that all pretenses were dropped, Chairman Qian held nothing back and released his Elemental Power. This was the agreed-upon signal for Lin Yun and the others.
Seeing Chairman Qian actually release his Elemental Power, Cao Tianxing laughed in contempt. "Haha, Qian, you think you alone can stand against me? Killing you will be as easy as crushing an ant."
"Father, why waste so many words on him? Just kill him and be done with it," Young Master Cao added coldly.
"Haha, my son is right. Qian, I’ll send you on your way right now. Go to hell..." Cao Tianxing bellowed arrogantly. But before the words could even leave his mouth, the two guards standing outside the door were instantly slain.
In an instant, eight figures appeared in the main hall—it was Luo Feng and his group. As someone at the Limit of the Spirit Realm, Cao Tianxing could naturally tell that aside from Lin Yun, all of them had the cultivation of the Spirit Realm.
Moreover, Luo Feng and the others made no attempt to hide their faces, and Cao Tianxing recognized the seven of them at a glance.
"Palace Master Luo, what is the meaning of this?" Cao Tianxing asked, his face grim.
"It’s nothing, really. We just feel that the Celestial Spirit Auction House would be better off with Chairman Qian in charge. So today, we can only send Brother Cao on his way," Luo Feng said lightly with a faint smile.
Hearing this, Cao Tianxing instantly understood. Chairman Qian had planned this all along, with the sole purpose of killing him.
With Luo Feng and the six elders allied against him, Cao Tianxing had no chance of victory. Even escaping would be incredibly difficult.
"Palace Master Luo, are you determined to interfere in the affairs of my Celestial Spirit Auction House? Do you know the consequences of killing the Eastern Domain’s director? Your Flawless Palace can’t afford it!" Cao Tianxing threatened.
