Chapter 732: Issue Resolved Quickly
Cui Ji admitted defeat loudly, alarming those outside the main hall, who quickly rushed in.
As members of the Dongji Alliance, Cui Ji’s voluntary surrender meant that, in full view of the crowd, Qin Sang could not continue pressing the matter. He had no choice but to withdraw his astra and the flying yaksha.
Though the alliance was formed out of mutual interests and was far looser than a sect, it still operated under certain rules.
Without a deep blood feud, killing a manager of the Nine-Star Guild in broad daylight would invite questioning from the entire alliance.
"Take your people and get off the Five-Elemental Islands immediately," Qin Sang said coldly, not showing a shred of courtesy.
Cui Ji’s expression flickered. The sensation of sword qi pressing against him had left a lasting impression.
Amidst the various reactions and expressions around him, Cui Ji’s shame turned into fury. He barked at his subordinates from the Nine-Star Guild, "What are you standing there for? Go back and pack up! We're leaving!"
"Hold on."
Qin Sang raised his hand. "Fellow Daoists, you're leaving in a hurry with so much cargo. Not only will it be cumbersome to move through the Demonic Sea, but it will also attract the attention of thieves. Since we are all part of the alliance, it is our duty to ease our comrades’ burdens. We’ll help transport the goods and deliver them to the Nine-Star Guild ourselves. That way, you can travel light."
"Y-You’ve gone too far!" Cui Ji’s face flushed red, lips trembling.
The way this heretic phrased things sounds pleasant enough, but once the food has entered the stomach, how could we expect him to spit it out?
By the time those goods reached the Nine-Star Guild, they would probably be a pile of worthless junk—absolutely disgusting.
