Dressed in a golden robe and wearing a Taoist crown, Ding Tianlu held a whisk in his hand, exuding an extraordinary aura.

The disciples of the Dragon Tiger Dao Sect all stood up and bowed.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

Ding Tianlu nodded slightly and calmly looked at Jiang Yingfei, saying, "Please come in and have some tea!"

Jiang Yingfei said arrogantly, "There's no need for tea. Now that you've become the sect leader of the Dragon Tiger Dao Sect, I'll save myself the trouble. I'm here to inform you that the price for purchasing Blood Dark Ore next year will be increased by another 50%!"

Upon hearing this, silence fell over the surroundings, and the gazes of the many powerful figures became peculiar.

What day is today.

The auspicious day of Ding Tianlu's appointment as the sect leader of the Longhu Dao Sect.

Logically and emotionally, Jiang Yingfei should have brought a gift to congratulate him.

However, in front of everyone, he announced that he would raise the price of Blood Dark Ore by another 50%.

This is clearly a sign of disrespect towards the Dragon Tiger Dao Sect.

A blatant slap in the face.

If not handled properly, the reputation of the Heavenly Law will be greatly damaged.

For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on Ding Tianlu, wanting to see how this new sect leader of the Dragon Tiger Dao Sect would handle the matter.

Ding Tianlu remained calm, merely nodding slightly, before uttering astonishing words.

"Fifty percent? Isn't that a bit too high? Can we discuss it?"

Jiang Yingfei raised his head high and said loudly, "What a joke! I'm here to inform you of the price increase, not to discuss anything with you! Don't get me wrong!"

"unless……"

He paused, and a sinister smile appeared on Jiang Yingfei's face.

"Kneel down and beg me, and maybe we can talk things over!"

These words immediately caused an uproar among those around them.

"What?! The Heavenly Lawyer is to kneel before everyone!"

"If they kneel down, the entire Dragon Tiger Dao Sect will probably never be able to hold its head up again!"

"Heh, what can we do? Everyone knows the value of Blood Dark Ore, and who can give it up!"

"This is clearly a show of force from the Blood Dark Sect to the Dragon Tiger Dao Sect. What a pity! The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. The Dragon Tiger Dao Sect was too hasty!"

"..."

The people looked at Ding Tianlu with pity in their eyes.

The new sect leader of the Dragon Tiger Dao Sect has barely taken office yet, and he's already likely to become a laughingstock.

The disciples of the Dragon Tiger Dao Sect all wore expressions of anger, glaring at the people from the Blood Dark Sect.

However, Jiang Yingfei looked arrogant, certain that Ding Tianlu would not dare to defy him.

Once he kneels down, and I offer him a little something extra, I can bring him under my control and have him do my bidding.

Jiang Yingfei would be laughing in his sleep if he could subdue a future emperor.

"Oh! Does it really have to be this way?!"

Ding Tianlu sighed softly.

“That’s right! You have no choice!” Jiang Yingfei said proudly.

"Since that's the case, then there's no need for further discussion. From this day forward..." Ding Tianlu waved his whisk.

"The Dragon Tiger Dao Sect will no longer purchase any Blood Dark Ore. Guards, show them out!"

The powerful words echoed in the sky above the Dragon Tiger Dao Sect.

Dead silence.

An expression of utter disbelief appeared on everyone's face.

They couldn't believe their eyes and ears.

Ding Tianlu actually gave up on the Blood Dark Ore.

That's a top-grade natural treasure, capable of doubling the cultivation speed of sect warriors.

Who can remain unmoved? Who can give up?

Jiang Yingfei's face was flushed, his lips trembled, and his eyes were filled with rage.

Originally, he only wanted to give Tianlu a warning.

His attempt to intimidate her back failed, and he instead became a laughingstock.

"Say the Heavenly Decree again..."

Jiang Yingfei roared.

Ding Tianlu said calmly, "If the Blood Dark Ore is obtained through humiliation, then this sect master would rather give it up!"

"This sect master is already at the half-step Great Emperor level. Given time, he will surely ascend to the Great Emperor level. Why would he need Blood Dark Ore!"

Jiang Yingfei's lips trembled, and her breathing became extremely rapid.

"But...but with Blood Dark Ore, you can break through to the Great Emperor realm even faster. Don't you want that?"

He originally thought that Ding Tianlu was eager to advance to the Great Emperor level, so he would definitely be able to control him.

But who would have thought he would do things differently?

Ding Tianlu shook his head: "I don't want to. I won't repeat myself three times. Show him out!"

Jiang Yingfei's face turned ashen, and the gazes around him felt like steel needles, piercing his entire body.

As a core disciple of the Blood Dark Sect, he was always treated with utmost respect wherever he went.

He lost so much face at the Dragon Tiger Dao Sect today, how could he possibly tolerate it?

"You'll regret setting the rules for Heaven!"

Ding Tianlu said calmly, "This sect leader will never regret it!"

Jiang Yingfei's face turned red. Now that things had come to this point, could he stay any longer?

Just then, a laugh rang out.

"Who has upset Brother Jiang?"

Everyone turned around and saw a group of warriors dressed in red robes walking over.

The leader was a young man in his twenties, with an incredibly powerful aura and hair that was a light reddish-brown.

Jiang Yingfei's eyes lit up.

"Eh, you are... Xiao Wang of the Heavenly Dao Xiao Clan!"

Xiao Wang smiled and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Brother Jiang to still remember me, it's truly delightful!"

"Thinking back to the weapon-forging competition back then, we had a very congenial conversation!"

Jiang Yingfei also had a smile on his face.

The Xiao Wang before them was an unparalleled genius of the Heavenly Dao Xiao Clan, possessing the ability to forge weapons with fire.

Blood Dark Ore is one of the best materials for forging weapons.

Therefore, the two met at the weapon forging competition and hit it off quite well.
