A few days later—The storm finally arrived in the Desolate Heaven Empire.
More and more people from the Central Glorious Continent began entering the Empire.
Some arrived with escorts provided by the other Empires they had crossed through.
Others came directly by themselves.
For the first time, the people of the Desolate Heaven Empire truly began to understand just how many forces from the Central Glorious Continent had arrived.
And among them, there were numerous legendary Golden Immortal Experts!
The entire Desolate Heaven Empire was shaken.
Many people immediately realized that the situation in the Empire would change, for better or worse.
Though for those against the Bai Clan, it was undoubtedly a good situation.
Previously, there had been no force in the Desolate Heaven Empire capable of going against the Bai Clan.
They could only sleep in fear that one day the Bai Clan might strike them.
But now—
So many Golden Immortals had suddenly appeared, and they were from the Central Glorious Continent.
For those who disliked the Bai Clan, this was excellent news.
Many immediately began thinking about how to establish a connection with these Central Continent people.
As long as they could latch onto one of those powerful people—
They might no longer need to fear the Bai Clan.
Some people even began dreaming of using this opportunity to rise further.
The arrival of the Central Glorious Continent had given them hope.
But what they don’t know is that while they were planning to suck up to those forces, people from two of the strongest clans in the Central Continent had been captured by the Bai Clan.
Bai Zihan was least afraid of them.
He also had already begun keeping track of every force that entered the Desolate Heaven Empire.
Whenever a new group appeared, he would investigate them.
And whenever one of those Central Continent forces entered the territory controlled by the Bai Clan—
Bai Zihan would personally go and take a look.
His purpose was simple.
He wanted to find Heaven Chosen from the Central Glorious Continent, if there were any.
If a Heaven Chosen had also arrived, then he had to know about it in advance.
However, for the past day, Bai Zihan had found nothing.
Before Bai Zihan could continue his search, a commotion suddenly erupted in the distance.
Bai Zihan calmly looked in that direction.
Such disturbances have become increasingly common recently.
Ever since the arrival of the Central Glorious Continent forces, all kinds of trouble had started appearing within the Bai Clan’s territory.
This place had once been respected and feared.
Anyone who entered would carefully follow the rules.
No one dared to cause trouble here.
But nowadays, every so often, some outsider would make trouble.
Bai Zihan slowly walked toward the commotion.
Several people were already gathered nearby.
Their expressions were somewhat helpless.
"Why are these outsiders always causing trouble?"
"That’s right! Before they arrived, we never had to deal with this kind of thing."
"Now every few days, someone from the Central Glorious Continent causes trouble somewhere."
"Luckily, the Bai Clan has been handling these matters. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened by now."
Although they were annoyed, they weren’t particularly frightened.
After all, everyone knew that the Bai Clan was taking care of these problems.
As Bai Zihan approached, he heard an arrogant voice coming from a stall.
"Are you trying to rip me off?"
The voice was filled with anger.
"If you think this young master doesn’t know the value of Grade-6 Pills, then you’re mistaken!"
The young man stood in front of the stall with an arrogant expression.
"You want hundreds of thousands of gold coins for this Grade-6 Pill?"
He sneered.
"In my place, this pill could at most be sold for ten thousand. How dare you try to scam this young master!"
The stall owner immediately became anxious.
"Young Master, you really misunderstand. These are Grade-6 Pills refined by the Mu Clan! Grade-6 Pills are already rare and precious in the Desolate Heaven Empire."
"Not to mention, these pills were refined by the Alchemists of the Mu Clan!"
He pointed toward the pill.
"The price I’m asking is already lower than what this pill could fetch at an auction!"
The young man remained unmoved.
"Hmph! Don’t think you can fool me just because I come from the Central Glorious Continent."
He crossed his arms.
"In our place, this kind of pill would never be worth one hundred thousand!"
The stall owner gritted his teeth.
"But this is the Desolate Heaven Empire. You’re free to leave if you think it’s too expensive, but you can’t accuse me of scamming you!"
The young man’s expression immediately became colder.
"Leave?"
He sneered.
"You think you can simply scam me and then expect me to leave?"
His voice became increasingly arrogant.
"I’m telling you now. I’m going to take this pill, but I’m not going to let you off for trying to cheat this young master!"
Such a misunderstanding was not particularly strange.
What was rare and precious in the Desolate Heaven Empire might not be considered valuable in the place where these Central Glorious Continent cultivators came from.
A Grade-6 Pill might be expensive here, but in some parts of the Central Glorious Continent, it might not be worth nearly as much.
Here, the price of a Grade-6 Pill reaching a million gold coins wasn’t strange either.
Not to mention, these pills had been refined by the Mu Clan.
The reputation of the Mu Clan was no longer the same as before in the Desolate Heaven Empire or the Eastern Region.
Even if they refined the exact same pill as another Alchemist—
The pills refined by the Mu Clan would still command a higher price.
After all, the Mu Clan’s reputation was already enough to guarantee the quality of their pills.
Unfortunately, the person who was from the Central Continent doesn’t seem to be aware of any of that.
He firmly believed that the stall owner was trying to scam him.
And despite being told that there was no need for him to buy the pill if he thought it was too expensive, he still refused to leave.
He wasn’t merely arguing over the price. He was causing trouble now.
Whoosh!
Just then, few figures quickly arrived.
They were members of the Bai Clan.
The person leading them was an elder in the Immortal Ascension Realm.
Ordinarily, someone at his level would never have been assigned to guard a street or deal with minor disputes.
But ever since the arrival of the Central Glorious Continent forces—
The Bai Clan had no choice.
Those below the Immortal Realm were simply too weak to deal with these outsiders.
Only cultivators in the Immortal Ascension Realm and above could reasonably handle such situations.
The elder walked forward and looked at Ma Lingfeng.
"Stop!"
His voice was calm but carried authority.
"This is the Bai Clan’s territory. Do not cause trouble here."
The person from the Central Continent immediately frowned.
The Bai Clan elder continued.
"If you think the shop owner is asking for too much, then you don’t have to buy the pill. But if you have no intention of buying it, then leave."
His expression immediately became ugly.
"You..."
Before he could say anything, one of his group members stepped forward.
"Do you know who you’re talking to?"
His voice was filled with arrogance.
"How dare you speak to our Young Master like this?"
Another immediately followed.
"Don’t you know who he is? He is the young master of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, Ma Lingfeng!"
The surrounding people immediately looked at each other.
The name was indeed impressive.
Ten Thousand Immortals Sect.
It sounded like an extremely powerful sect.
But that was all.
After all, this wasn’t the first time they had heard someone flaunt their background since the arrival of the Central Glorious Continent forces.
Every problematic outsider seemed to have some incredible background.
They had heard such words countless times already.
But knowing the name alone didn’t tell them much.
The Desolate Heaven Empire was simply too far away from the Central Glorious Continent.
How could ordinary people here know about every powerful faction there?
"Whether he is the young master of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect or not, the rules are the same. This is the Bai Clan’s territory."
Ma Lingfeng’s face became even darker.
He clearly didn’t like being lectured.
One of the people standing behind him hesitated.
He quietly tugged at Ma Lingfeng’s sleeve.
"Ma Lingfeng, maybe we shouldn’t..."
Smack!
A crisp sound immediately echoed through the street.
Ma Lingfeng slapped him across the face.
"Hmph! Don’t you know your place? How dare you order me around?"
The man stumbled backward.
His face was flushed from the slap.
However, no one from Ma Lingfeng’s group showed any sympathy.
Instead, they looked at him with disgust.
Judging by how he was treated, it was enough to know that although they were from the same group, probably even the same sect, the man who got slapped wasn’t treated well.
Meanwhile, Bai Zihan’s eyes fell on the seemingly fragile man who had been easily slapped down.
"Found you!"
