Chapter 826.

“Wang Dust, do you realize that you have caused trouble?”

The person who came was short and fat and unassuming in appearance, but his posture in front of Wang Dust was lofty, with an air of commanding authority, “For what you have done, there are many Dao friends in the Palace who are deeply dissatisfied recently, including the two Elder Zhangs.”

“If it wasn’t for the sake of being a fellow ally, you would have been taken down for questioning long ago!”

In the face of the visitor’s rebuke, Wang Chen did not move and asked, “What should I do then?”

This cultivator from the Green Cloud Palace was named Zhao Zhengyu, and his status was that of the Green Cloud Alliance’s Mundane Affairs Hall Steward, as well as a governor of the Taiwu Pavilion!

“It’s simple.”

Zhao Zhengyu said proudly, “Immediately dissolve the White Deer Academy, then hand over the Ci Shi Pill Villa to the Taiwu Pavilion to manage on your behalf, and you’ll go to the Thoughtfulness Cliff to face the wall for three years, and this matter will be settled.”

Dismantle White Deer Academy, turn over the Ci Shi Pill Villa, and go face the wall for another three years?

Wang Chen smiled, “What if I don’t agree?”

“Fellow Daoist Wang, you’ve thought this through!”

Zhao Zhengyu’s expression turned gloomy, “It’s not too late to come to your senses.”

In this Green Cloud Alliance Steward’s opinion, what Wang Chen had done was completely a way to take death, and the things he had done were unbelievable.

What was baffling was that Wang Dust also didn’t know where he got so much money, throwing it away on White Deer Academy and Ci Shi Medicine Villa for nothing.

In addition, the pills he refined were extremely effective, squeezing most of the business out of the medical centers and pharmacies in Taiwu City.

Some people said that Wang Chen had obtained Yao Gong’s treasure, which was why his financial strength was so strong, and that he had mastered a large number of elixir formulas, becoming a Transcendent Cultivator at a young age.

Zhao Zhengyu even vaguely heard some rumors that Wang Chen was involved with the disappearance of Venerable Master Ji Yun some time ago.

All of the above, any one of them would cause a great deal of trouble, let alone so many together.

Qing Yun Alliance had already been extremely patient in holding back until now!

Zhao Zhengyu didn’t think that under the thunderous pressure of the Green Cloud Alliance, there was still a possibility for Wang Chen to resist.

Therefore, the way he looked at Wang Chen was like he was looking at fish on a chopping board.

What made Zhao Zhengyu very unhappy was that he had entered the door for such a long time, and aside from a cup of hot tea, Wang Dust actually didn’t show any indication, and simply didn’t put him, the representative of Qing Yun Palace, in his eyes.

Zhao Zhengyu couldn’t help but add a hint of ruthlessness to his voice!

“Consider me obsessed.”

Wang Chen flicked the teacup on the desk table without a care in the world: “Steward Zhao, you have a lot of precious people to attend to, so I won’t see you off.”

“Fine, fine!”

Zhao Zhengyu burst into a rage and rose with a huff, “Since Fellow Daoist Wang is obstinate, we’ll see!”

After saying that, he whisked his sleeves away.

Wang Chen shook his head and picked up his teacup and took a sip.

This fine tea could not be wasted.

“Are you ready to turn your back on the Green Cloud Alliance?”

It was at this time that a white fox leapt into the arms and tilted its head to spit out human words, “Do you want me to finish off that nasty fellow just now?”

Wang Dust stroked Hu Jiaojiao’s head and laughed, “No need for the time being, I don’t think they’ll make a move easily before figuring out my strengths and weaknesses.”

Over the past year or so, although Wang Chen had been running the White Deer Academy and Ci Shi Medicine Villa, he had not returned to Qing Yun Peak.

But because he had Mo Han acting as his eyes, he still had a fairly good understanding of the situation in Taiwu City as well as Qing Yun Palace.

Wang Chen was well aware of just how much the White Deer Academy and Ci Shi Pill Villa that he had created invited cynicism!

Especially those clans whose direct interests were damaged, they didn’t dare to deal with him openly, but secretly mobilized their connections to complain and sue with the Qing Yun Palace side, and there were countless words of slander!

The reason why the Green Cloud Palace has held back until now to send people to test the waters is because of the aftermath of his killing ten thousand beasts with the Ten Thousand Thunder Formation a few months ago.

If the people above couldn’t figure out Wang Chen’s background, how could they dare to easily provoke him?

It is important to know that the Green Cloud Alliance is not an ironclad organization, otherwise how could Mo Han, who has an extremely close relationship with Wang Chen, have heard all sorts of news?

Some cultivators are indifferent to fame and fortune and don’t like to get involved in mundane matters, some cultivators focus on cultivation and simply don’t have the time to interfere with others.

There are also cultivators who extremely value life and don’t want to fight with others at all.

Not to mention acting as a sharp blade in the hands of the great families!

Right now, several of the people who were screaming the loudest inside the Green Cloud Palace were all cultivators with direct interests.

In addition, Wang Dust was making a bigger and bigger scene, which made some of the old men feel scorn.

Then Zhao Zhengyu came.

Wang Dust knew very well that this guy was just a pawn, a cannon fodder role that Qing Yun Palace used to explore the road.

There was no point in killing it.

Hu Jiaojiao, however, had some regrets, “But he’s really annoying!”

Wang Chen was dumbfounded.

“Forget about it for now, I won’t make a mistake if people don’t offend me.”

Although the words were said this way, Wang Chen knew very well in his heart that this was only the beginning.

Whether it was the Green Cloud Alliance or the many forces in Taiwu City, they would not allow themselves to grow further bigger and stronger.

And the facts proved that his guess was completely correct.

After only three days, trouble came.

The people in charge of daily purchases at the White Deer Academy and the Ci Shi Medicine Villa suddenly realized that they couldn’t even buy supplies in the city.

White Deer Academy now had more than thirteen thousand disciples, and the amount of food consumed every day was quite staggering, while the number of patients who came to Ci Shi Pharmacy to seek medical treatment and purchase medicines was also incessant, and the amount of medicinal materials needed for refining elixirs was likewise a large sum of money.

As a result, many of the city’s grain stores and drugstores seem to have reached an agreement or tacit understanding that small quantities can be sold, and large purchases are either out of stock or the price has to be quadrupled!

Under normal circumstances, buy more prices will be low, the results of these grain store drugstore the opposite way.

Not only that, they also increased the base prices of grain, meat and herbs at the same time.

The reasoning was that the White Deer Academy and Ci Shi Pharmacy had purchased too much, causing the supply to be tight, so they had to raise the prices.

“The shopkeepers of a few large grain houses said that they’ll have to go up again after a while!”

An academy steward in charge of purchasing said to Wang Chen with a worried frown, “Academy Master, I’m afraid that by then, it will cause public anger and then make us the culprits!”

There were millions of people inside and outside of Taiwu City, and under normal circumstances the price of food was stable and would not fluctuate greatly.

But once the price increases, it will definitely affect countless people.

Don’t look at the excellent reputation of the White Deer Academy and Ci Shi Medicine Villa right now, but if they were seen as the culprits of the price hike, it would inevitably be a case of ten thousand people wanting to discern their inability to do so.

Wang Chen nodded, “I understand.”

There was no doubt that certain forces in Taiwu City were beginning to make their presence felt.

It had to be said that the tactics they used were extremely clever, and they had a hand on the throats of the White Deer Academy and the Ci Shi Medicine Villa.

And this wasn’t really much of a conspiracy, as people had clearly stated it!

The several stewards looked at each other in dismay.

Wang Dust said in a deep voice, “You guys first send people to other cities to purchase medicinal herbs, I’ll solve the food problem myself.”

A bunch of rustic dogs, do you really think you can pin him down like this?

Dream on!
