The tea table was decorated with simplicity, placed by the window. Outside the window, flowers were blooming and petals were falling, creating a sense of tranquility.
The tea on the table was clear and the fragrance lingered.
However, the air in the room was heavy.
The tea water rippled with power fluctuations, threatening to spill out of the teacup at any moment.
At this moment, Elder Lin felt bitter.
After being cautious for so many years, he was now facing a situation of open robbery.
The Heaven Spirit Clan was under siege, and anomalies were frequent.
Now everything had fallen apart, and the Heaven Spirit Clan couldn't even protect its surrounding assets.
Some ambitious individuals became bolder.
If one place wasn't suppressed, two or three more would appear.
Initially, they had three fully-fledged Feather Transformation experts, which should have been enough to handle any problems.
But the Bloody Jiao Sect had sent a Immortal Ascension first stage expert who suppressed all three of them, making it hard for them to catch their breath.
If they fought, they wouldn't stand a chance and it would lead to many chain reactions.
But the other party had a voracious appetite.
If they were willing to pay half, their losses wouldn't be too great.
But instead, the other party paid with one hundred Spirit Stones worth of tea leaves, asking for five thousand Spirit Stones worth of tea leaves.
Paying half meant using fifty Spirit Stones to purchase five thousand Spirit Stones worth of tea leaves.
They couldn't bear such a loss.
What's the difference between that and taking over the entire Tianming Tower?
"Friend, please leave us a way out," Elder Lin pleaded.
Without this, they would also face the Heaven Spirit Clan's retribution.
Although the Heaven Spirit Clan was currently preoccupied, they still had means to deal with them.
Moreover, they had made enemies over the years.
Tianming Tower was a name in name only, and more people would come after.
When that happened, everyone would think that they were carrying the goods.
There was nowhere to escape.
Not to mention that many people were watching now, they couldn't escape at all.
This was the disadvantage of relying on a power.
When the power was thriving, they would also rise with the tide.
But when the power declined, they would face many dangers themselves.
"Give us a way out?" The burly man with a Nine-Ring Great Saber in his hand sat down and said, "We're just here to do business, we don't want to take your lives."
"Why do you have to say such things, Elder Lin? Saying that is an insult to us, and we are also capable of anger," he continued, looking at the several colleagues behind him, asking if what he said make sense.
The several people behind him nodded in agreement.
The other two elders also felt helpless and indignant when they saw that the Bloody Jiao Sect was unwilling to compromise.
The other party was too strong and they had no way to match them.
If it were in the past, they wouldn't have dared to act so recklessly.

Jiang Hao, with the cultivation of Foundation Establishment Realm, returned to Tianming Tower once again.
It was much quieter here than before.
The fairy escorts were fewer, and those who remained had a worried and timid look in their eyes.
At this moment, the fairy escort who had guided him before came to Jiang Hao's side and respectfully asked, "Senior, are you here to buy tea leaves?"
Jiang Hao nodded and said, "Let's go to the seventh floor, I want to find Elder Lin."
"This..." The fairy escort's face turned pale.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Hao asked curiously.
"There are guests at the seventh floor, senior, it's better to go to another place," the fairy escort said.
"I came for Elder Lin, I think he's good," Jiang Hao said gently.
"But..." The fairy escort hesitated for a moment and said, "The seventh floor is occupied by people from the Bloody Jiao Sect."
"They don't seem to be easy to talk to, so..."
"Let's go to another place."
In her eyes, whether this senior was really a senior or not was another matter.
If he really was the infamous Green Demon Twin Robbers, he would probably be killed if he went up.
Hearing this, Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised.
Then he looked up.
In an instant, he sensed a Peak Immortal Ascension expert.
"I'm a patient person, I can wait for them to finish their business first," Jiang Hao smiled.
Then he walked towards the staircase.
The fairy escort immediately followed.
Jiang Hao's pace was not fast, slowly walking towards the seventh floor.
The fairy escort was a little concerned, but in the end, she obediently led the way in front.
"Has the Heaven Spirit Clan suffered a crushing defeat?" Jiang Hao asked.
"So far, there hasn't been much news," the fairy escort said.
She wondered why the other party, if he really was a strong expert, didn't know the general situation.
After all, he has always been here.
And she was weak in cultivation and not qualified to know too much.
Some seniors had actually left, and the current situation didn't look good.
Soon, they arrived at the seventh floor. Just as they arrived, Jiang Hao heard a boorish laughter from inside.
"What's wrong with buying Ge Xiang Chun with fifty Spirit Stones? It's fair and reasonable, how can you say that I'm not leaving you a way out?
"Let's do this, I'll let you search us, as long as you find any Spiritual Stones, it will all be considered as our payment.
"We'll use all of our Spiritual Stones to buy all your tea leaves, can't we?
"It's an exchange of everything for everything."
The door was open, and laughter came from inside.
Hearing this, the fairy escort's face turned pale.
The situation seemed worse than she had imagined.
However, suddenly, a voice came from nowhere, "Fifty Spirit Stones to buy Ge Xiang Chun? Have tea leaves become so cheap now? Then let me buy it for sixty Spirit Stones."
The sudden voice attracted everyone's attention.
Elder Lin and the others were all surprised when they saw the person arriving.
They recognized him, a Foundation Establishment Realm expert.
They had bought tea leaves from him before, but because they couldn't determine his strength, they had been laughed at.
And the other two people were stunned when they saw Jiang Hao.
They had seen the portrait of Elder Lin.
This person was the Green Demon Twin Robbers.
But not everyone was like Elder Lin, and the people of the Bloody Jiao Sect couldn't be deceived.
For a moment, they had sentenced Jiang Hao to death.
The burly man looked at Jiang Hao with cold eyes, saying, "Foundation Establishment Realm? The Green Demon Twin Robbers?"
When he mentioned this, he became interested, "I heard that the Green Demon Twin Robbers can make many people not dare to move, I wonder if you can make me not dare to move."
Saying that, he said to the people beside him.
"Kill him."
A Nascent Soul Stage expert stepped forward, his mouth revealing a cruel smile, "You're unlucky to encounter us. It's time for you to die."
"Friend, there's no need for that," Elder Lin immediately said.
But no one paid any attention to him.
The Nascent Soul Stage expert raised his long spear, and his strength burst forth.
He was going to kill Jiang Hao with one strike.
The fairy escort was greatly alarmed, but her body couldn't move at all.
However, she saw the senior next to her take a step forward.
He walked steadily and all the way to the expert at Golden Core stage who was about to kill Jiang Hao.
The originally imposing expert suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Allowing the senior to pass by.
He did not even stop, going directly to the brawny man in front.
At this moment, everything seemed to slow down, and then the fairy escort saw the Nascent Soul Stage expert who was facing her suddenly cracking in the face, followed by splatters of blood.
Then.
With a bang!
The Nascent Soul turned into blood foam and scattered all over the room.
This sudden change made everyone's hearts tremble.
And at this moment, Jiang Hao looked at the burly man in front of him and smiled.
"Now, do you dare to attack me?"
The burly man's face went pale, and he had no idea how the other person had made the move.
And when he came over, he couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.
This.
As he tried to plead for mercy, Jiang Hao's sighing voice once again came.
"Forget it, whether you dare or not doesn't really matter. I just don't like being called upon to be beaten or killed."
As he spoke, a knife appeared at the burly man's neck, at a position that he didn't know when it appeared.
Then a knife struck.
"In the future, be a little more polite with others, harmony brings wealth," Jiang Hao said.
The knife fell.
The head separated.
The burly man watched in horror as the world twisted and he was helpless.
Finally, there was a banging sound, and his vision stayed on the floor.
Nothing else.
