Chapter 349: Compensation

ALL NOVELS' LIST | Chapter List: Sect Master's Immortal Journey

Next, Fei Hongzi told Meng Zhang not to worry about this matter as he would handle everything and ensure a satisfactory response for Meng Zhang. Relieved, Meng Zhang returned to Taiyi Sect.

About half a month later, the envoy from the black market, Lone Wolf, arrived at Taiyi Sect accompanied by an envoy from the Flying Swan Sect to seek an audience with Meng Zhang. With a Flying Swan Sect envoy present, the meeting was relatively peaceful.

Lone Wolf immediately apologized to Meng Zhang, acknowledging that the black market had made a big mistake due to the recklessness of the person in charge. He admitted that what they did to Meng Zhang, their old friend from the black market, was completely wrong. The person directly responsible, White Dove, had been relieved of their position and sent elsewhere.

Lone Wolf hoped that Meng Zhang could return the grey mouse and his companion to them, and in return, the black market would compensate Taiyi Sect. Lone Wolf handed Meng Zhang a list of various treasures collected by the black market, including elixirs, spiritual objects, magic tools, and talismans. From the list, Meng Zhang could choose three items as compensation from the black market.

Furthermore, both Meng Zhang and all the elders of Taiyi Sect would enjoy special VIP treatment in the black market in the future.

Meng Zhang did not negotiate with Lone Wolf, as these conditions were already agreed upon between the black market and the Flying Swan Sect, and he could not change them. Meng Zhang was impressed by the black market's ability to make the Flying Swan Sect yield. Since an agreement had been reached between the black market and the Flying Swan Sect, it would be meaningless for Taiyi Sect to persist further.

Given the situation, Meng Zhang naturally wanted to gain as much benefit as possible. He accepted the list without rushing to make his selections. Instead, he allowed grey mouse and his companion, who had been imprisoned by Taiyi Sect, to be returned to Lone Wolf. With a Flying Swan Sect envoy vouching for him, Meng Zhang was not afraid that Lone Wolf would break his word.

When the badly injured grey mouse and his companion were brought before Lone Wolf, his face revealed an uncontrollable anger. After a careful examination confirmed that their injuries were not life-threatening, his expression improved slightly.

After reaching an agreement, Lone Wolf left Taiyi Sect with the Flying Swan Sect envoy. Almost simultaneously, the Sect Master of Earthfire Sect, Shangguan Longyan, was assassinated by a mysterious person and died on the spot at Firewell Market.

Shangguan Longyan's death sent shockwaves through both Earthfire Sect and Firewell Market. The hotheaded elders of Earthfire Sect nearly turned Firewell Market upside down in their quest to find the culprit, causing chaos.

Both the Shang Family, who suffered losses, and the offended customers were discontented with Earthfire Sect's actions. Unfortunately, Earthfire Sect, which had just lost its Sect Master, acted like a raging bull, recklessly suppressing any dissenting voices.

During this time, no one dared to provoke the crazed disciples of Earthfire Sect. Even Land Walk Sect, which had always been at odds with Earthfire Sect, decided to keep silent.

The chaos in Firewell Market and its surrounding areas lasted for a considerable period. Finally, when enraged Earthfire Sect disciples lost their rationality and clashed with Flying Swan Building, the Flying Swan Sect sent envoys to sternly reprimand Earthfire Sect, subduing them.

While the members of Earthfire Sect were known for their fiery temperaments, they weren't true lunatics. Even if they were, they wouldn't dare to confront Flying Swan Sect directly. After Flying Swan Sect intervened, Firewell Market and the surrounding areas gradually returned to calm. With the death of Shangguan Longyan, at least on the surface, Earthfire Sect stopped paying attention to the dealings between Taiyi Sect, Qiaoshou Sect, and Flying Swan Sect. The identity of Shangguan Longyan's assassin was revealed - it turned out to be the infamous rogue cultivator known as "Mad Dog Wanderer" from the Endless Sea of Sand.

Mad Dog Wanderer had been wreaking havoc in the Endless Sea of Sand for over a hundred years, committing numerous heinous acts and causing countless blood debts. He killed both cultivators and mortals without a second thought, and even exterminated several cultivation forces. His vengeful nature meant that anyone who offended him would face his insane retaliation, even the affiliated families of Flying Swan Sect.

Flying Swan Sect had previously sent cultivators to hunt him down, but he turned the tables and killed those sent to pursue him before vanishing without a trace, eluding their sight completely. Despite being cursed by his enemies, Mad Dog Wanderer embraced the title and called himself by that name.

Among the most ruthless and cunning wanted criminals in the Endless Sea of Sand, Mad Dog Wanderer stood out. Flying Swan Sect had offered a high reward for his capture for years, but he remained elusive due to his profound cultivation base and mysterious movements.

It was said that many years ago, Shangguan Longyan and Mad Dog Wanderer had clashed over a spiritual medicine, resulting in deep enmity between them. Unexpectedly, Mad Dog Wanderer harbored such a grudge, and after many years, he sought revenge and assassinated Shangguan Longyan in secret.

Upon learning the identity of the culprit behind their Sect Master's assassination, the elders of Earthfire Sect went into a frenzy to capture him. At Taiyi Sect, after discussing with some of the elders, Meng Zhang chose three treasures as compensation.

The first was a specially crafted Second Rank flying shuttle called the Wind Driving Shuttle. Though smaller in size compared to regular Second Rank flying shuttles, its greatest advantage was its incredible speed. When traveling at full speed, even many cultivators in the late stage of Foundation Building would find it difficult to catch up.

The second item was three spirit beast pills refined by Beast King Mountain. When consumed by a cultivator's spirit beast, these pills would significantly enhance their strength, unlocking their innate potential.

The third item was three Soul-nurturing pills, which were miraculous elixirs for nurturing the soul. Though not as potent as Jade Soul Fluid, they could still repair injuries to the soul.

These three treasures were extremely rare and hard to come by in the Endless Sea of Sand, and even in the Jiuqu League, they would be difficult to purchase with spiritual stones.

Meng Zhang had initially thought that the black market had a vast collection of Divine Abilities, and the list might include Foundation Building Pills or the medicinal herbs required to produce them. However, anything related to Foundation Building Pills was kept secret by the black market and not listed on the inventory.

Upon receiving Meng Zhang's message, the black market quickly sent the three items. Meng Zhang stored the Wind Driving Shuttle carefully, as it was a life-saving tool for cultivators. He distributed one spirit beast pill each to his spirit pets, Zhui Dian (Chasing Lightning) and Liu Li (Colored Glaze), and placed the remaining pill in the sect's treasure storage.

As for the three Soul-nurturing pills, Shocking Thunder Spirit General placed them in the Taiyi Sect's main spiritual vein at the old mountain gate, allowing the slumbering Guardian Spirit General to absorb their essence.
