The immortal great hall that was shaking nonstop; no one knows whether the great hall was shaking because of the continuous tremors that were caused by the earthquakes or it had come from the profound arts that were being unleashed by the many thousands of cultivators.
This section of the great hall was actually much more peaceful than the other sections as everyone was looking at the middle of this great hall.
In the middle of this great hall where the exit portal was, a mere dozen cultivators from the Virtuous Alliance, namely only the Virtuous Saintess Palace was camping there.
The Great Virtuous Saintess Qin Qifen and a black masked man were demanding tolls from all the cultivators that wanted to exit this place.
Dozens had already paid their tolls to leave quickly.
Some did so because they were already injured and did not want to risk their lives in this dangerous immortal great hall while some others want to quickly exit the place because they had found some lofty secret profound treasures that they did not want the others to snatch from them.
The Great Virtuous Saintess Qin Qifen chuckled softly, "Like I have said, anyone that wants to use this portal must pay me an advance of 100 000 high grade spirit stones or an equivalent value. Of course, the equivalent value can only be more and not lesser. Leave your divine swords behind if you want to leave this immortal great hall…"
Then she pointed at the masked man, "Alternatively, you can try to defeat my champion from the Virtuous Saintess Palace."
When she had said that, dozens of cultivators from the other cultivation sects were all vomiting blood.
They had vomited blood not because of her words but because the masked man was too formidable and he had used his fingers to beat them off.
No matter how many cultivators were attacking this masked man, he was still able to beat them with ease.
This stunned all the cultivators that were in this section of the great hall.
Sect Leader Shi Potian from the Peaceful Divine Temple was now angrily shouting at the Great Virtuous Saintess Qin Qifen, "How dare you make an enemy out of our Righteous Alliance. Give way or don't blame me for exterminating your entire Virtuous Saintess Palace!"
Actually his Peaceful Divine Temple always had a feud with the Virtuous Saintess Palace and it was not a secret thing.
When his Patriarch Shi Dabian was still alive, the Peaceful Divine Temple had somewhat an upper hand as he was a formidable great saint cultivator.
The Great Virtuous Saintess Qin Qifen naturally knows how his patriarch had died in the forest that night but she was not about to tell him.
Instead, she giggled softly, "I forget to say that the Peaceful Divine Temple needs to pay 1 million high grade spirit stones in order to go through this portal."
The reason why she was so bold was because the masked senior Ji Yuan had promised her that he would tank for her cultivation sect if she would be bold enough to carry out his exhortation plans.
Naturally the Great Virtuous Saintess Qin Qifen was happy to go ahead with his plans as she was trying to flatter him and had secretly made him into her target.
A desirable man such as this Senior Ji Yuan, especially when he had so many profound treasures was indeed worthy of her attentions and affections.
The masked man aka Ji Yuan chuckled behind his black mask, "Great Virtuous Saintess Qi, you've forgotten to mention that the Holy Alliance also has to pay 1 million high grade spirit stones as well."
The Great Virtuous Saintess Qin Qifen giggled softly, "Yes, that's right. The Holy Alliance has to pay 1 million high grade spirit stones as well."
"What?!" Saint Xi Wugui from the Divine Mist Peak and Saint Zheng Tianwu from the Morjinn Martial Sect were both shocked as did their cultivators when they had heard the Great Virtuous Saintess Qin Qifen and the masked man demanding such excessive toll from their Holy Alliance.
They quickly took a look in the direction of the Holy Saintess Chen Yuyan and her cultivators from the Profound Cloud Sect, as did many of the cultivators from their own Holy Alliance.
The West Witch Saintess Mo Yunxi who was with her cultivators from the Evil Tripartite Alliance was quietly mocking, "Hehe, to think that the Holy Alliance and the Righteous Alliance are both being screwed up by a puny Virtuous Alliance. What a joke!"
Patriarch Great Saint Jian Wudi from the Myriad Swords Sect and the cultivators from his Boburi Alliance were all mocking the Holy Alliance as well.
Saintess Chen Sisi immediately said to her Holy Saintess Chen Yuyan, "Please allow me to teach the Virtuous Saintess Palace a lesson."
The Holy Saintess Chen Yuyan raised her hand as she smiled, "No need."
Then she stepped forward as she smiled alluringly to the masked Ji Yuan, "Senior, I must admit that you are quite strong. But do you think that you really stand a chance against so many powerful cultivators? Just now you are able to have an advantage but now the number of cultivators here have grown by 10 times and we are at least three thousands against a mere 12 of you…"
She smiled wryly before continuing, "We have so many cultivators from the Holy Alliance here and if you add the cultivators from the Righteous Alliance here, the toll will be extremely excessive. And did we offend you by any chance that you have to demand 10 times more than the other alliances?"
The masked Ji Yuan laughed jovially, "You didn't offend me but your Holy Alliance did offend me in the past. Hence, the reason why. But if you are willing to jump into my bed, I can consider letting you into the portal that is behind me."
As he said so, he was quietly looking at Saint Zheng Tianwu and Saint Xi Wugui who had no idea that they had offended him 1000 years ago when they tried to kill Fairy Xuan Xueqi and Ye Fan inside the Ancient Desolate Undermountain Trial.
The Holy Saintess Chen Yuyan smiled, "I don't have 1 million high grade spirit stones with me. None of us will bring so many spirit stones with us on a trial."
The masked Ji Yuan chuckled, "Then you can either give me your divine sword or undress your beautiful celestium silk dress to give it to me. Either one, I can allow you to pass."
The Holy Saintess Chen Yuyan: …
She slowly said, "Then we have no other choice but to fight you."
"Sect Leader Shi Potian," she had suddenly turned in his direction to say. "We have no real feuds, right? We didn't kill your Patriarch Shi Dabian. Do you want the Virtuous Saintess Palace to trample upon our pride just like this? Why don't we join forces and storm our way through the portal?"
Sect Leader Shi Potian remained silent for a short while before he said hoarsely, "Only for this battle."
"Not so fast!" A charming voice had suddenly called out from beyond the pillars and an extraordinary beautiful and charming maiden in white had stepped forward with her protégés.
She was none other than the Charming Saintess Luo Yingying.
Everyone: ???
The Great Virtuous Saintess Qin Qifen smiled when she saw her, "Alas, it is my old friend."
The main reason why she and Senior Ji Yuan were here stopping everyone from exiting was because they wanted to provide an opportunity for the Charming Saintess Luo Yingying to seduce Ye Fan.
However, the Charming Saintess Luo Yingying ignored her and she had stormed in the direction of the Holy Saintess Chen Yuyan, "Surrender the Living Sea Scrolls that you have obtained to me. Now!"
The Holy Saintess Chen Yuyan frowned, "I've obtained my lucky occurrences through fair and square. Are you thinking of robbing me? I seem to remember that we have no feuds and aren't you an autonomous cultivator?"
The Charming Saintess Luo Yingying smiled coldly, "We have a feud now. Surrender your copy of the Living Sea Scrolls to me now. And how dare you destroy the Carnation Goddess Painting?!"
Then she pointed angrily at the West Witch Saintess Mo Yunxi, "And you have a hand in destroying the Carnation Goddess Painting too as well as numerous other profound paintings. Both of you are my enemies now!"
Three of her female protégés were now panicky trying to hold their protégé mistress back but she was too furious to restraint herself.
Her female protégés were all thinking: We are doomed now for offending two powerful alliances…
Her action had also stunned the masked Ji Yuan who was drooling with excitement upon seeing so many great beauties that had gathered in this place.
In fact, prior to the appearance of the Charming Saintess Luo Yingying, he was actually drooling at the Holy Saintess Chen Yuyan, the Great Virtuous Saintess Qin Qifen, Saintess Chen Sisi and the West Witch Saintess Mo Yunxi.
The masked Ji Yuan thought: She is trying to challenge them all by herself?
The West Witch Saintess Mo Yunxi smiled wryly, "What do we have here? An art collector? Do you think that you are able to fight all of us here?"
The Charming Saintess Luo Yingying seemed to have realized that she had just got herself into a fix.
But she quickly composed herself when she had suddenly remembered that she got a good sister in this place as she pointed at the Great Virtuous Saintess Qin Qifen, "Good Sister Saintess Qin Qifen, help me."
The Great Virtuous Saintess Qin Qifen: …
Sensing a big fight was forthcoming, many of the cultivation sects and alliances, especially the Patriarch Great Saint Jian Wudi from the Myriad Swords Sect was secretly smiling and sitting on the fence to see what would happen next.
