Tan Yun glanced at Mu Mengyi and smiled, "Just a bunch of dogs, don't mind them."
Tan Yun and his group of six entered the first-floor hall of the Spiritual Herb Holy Pavilion.
Seeing customers visiting, a male disciple in Dan Robe, who was at the fifth layer of the divine soul realm, initially wanted to greet them.
"Who is the traitor of your Danmai?" Xue Ziyan, with her hands on her hips, reprimanded, "Danmai is Danmai, and the Meritorious Lineage is the Meritorious Lineage. Clean your mouth up!"
"Tsk tsk, this little girl is quite fierce!" The disciple leered at Xue Ziyan, but after teasing her, he suddenly shouted at Tan Yun, "Especially you, get out!"
"Seeking death!" Tuoba Yingying's beautiful figure flickered, and her soft, delicate right hand struck towards the disciple's chest!
"How dare an ant at the first level of the divine soul realm attack me! You must be tired of living!" The disciple grinned maliciously and launched a powerful left punch.
"Bang!"
The palm and the fist collided, and a storm of spiritual power erupted, shaking the entire pavilion!
"Ah… my hand!" The disciple screamed like a pig being slaughtered, feeling an unfathomable power surge into his fist, causing his finger bones to shatter bit by bit!
"Sizzle—"
He staggered back several feet, his features twisted. His right hand showed no external injuries, but it hung limply, the bones within his palm completely shattered!
In contrast, Tuoba Meng only took three steps back before stabilizing herself!
"Manager, someone is causing trouble in our Spiritual Herb Holy Pavilion!" the disciple shouted.
"Who dares to act wildly in my holy pavilion!" With a powerful voice, an elderly man with a handlebar mustache, in his sixties, appeared in the first-floor hall from the stairs leading upstairs.
Behind him, three disciples from the Danmai at the fourth layer of the divine soul realm followed.
This man's name was Gongsun Sen, at the seventh layer of the divine soul realm. Although his strength was not particularly impressive, becoming the manager of the Spiritual Herb Holy Pavilion indicated he had substantial backing!
Originally filled with killing intent, Gongsun Sen's eyes glimmered with cunning upon seeing Tan Yun, and he returned to normal.
He looked down at the disciple and said in a deep voice, "Wang Liu, what happened? Who hurt you!"
Wang Liu extended his left hand, pointing at Tuoba Yingying, with a pained expression, "Manager, it was she who attacked me!"
Gongsun Sen turned to Tuoba Yingying, "Why did you hurt someone?"
Tuoba Yingying replied expressionlessly, "You opened the door to do business; guests are welcome, yet he insulted us."
"What’s wrong with me insulting you!" Wang Liu snarled, "I said I wouldn't do business with you…"
"Slap!"
"Unruly!" Gongsun Sen shouted fiercely, slapping Wang Liu, making him see stars.
"Manager… why did you hit me!" Wang Liu stood there, dumbfounded!
"Impudent!" Gongsun Sen pointed angrily at Wang Liu, "Although there are grievances between our Danmai and the Meritorious Lineage, the Spiritual Herb Holy Pavilion serves all disciples of the Holy Gate. How can you drive customers away?"
"Manager, please calm down. I was wrong... I was wrong!" Wang Liu was terrified.
"You were wrong, yet you still haven't apologized to the customers!" Gongsun Sen roared.
"I will obey." Wang Liu quickly bowed to Tan Yun and the others, "I was wrong just now; please forgive me."
Tan Yun thought silently, "Yingying hurt a disciple of the Spiritual Herb Holy Pavilion, yet this old man treats me with such respect. What game is he playing?"
Gongsun Sen smiled and clasped his fists at Tan Yun, "So it’s the arrival of the Tan Holy Son, my apologies. What would you like to purchase?"
Tan Yun stood with his hands behind his back and smiled, "This holy son wants to buy a Revitalizing Heart Orchid aged 2,300 years."
"Three Heartstring Mysterious Herbs aged 2,000 years, five Azure Fire Ganoderma aged 1,800 years, and ten Ancestral Soul Sacred Grasses aged 1,200 years, as well as thirty Blood-Reshaping Heart Flowers aged 900 years."
