As she entered, everyone's gaze turned toward her in unison, each with a different expression in their eyes, some hostile and disdainful, silence fell in an instant, creating an awkward atmosphere.

Shi Feiyang smiled and said, "Why have you only just arrived? We were about to send someone to invite you, but since I predicted you would come on your own, we spared the invitation. Please, have a seat."

Xu Feiniang sat down, and Shi Feiyang informed her that they were discussing the future plans for opening the market.

The grandest event in Shu Mountain would surely be the opening of the Emei Sect's establishment, and although Shi Feiyang's market opening wasn't aiming to compete with that, it couldn't appear too shabby either.

He planned to invite more people, but the more people, the more likely troubles would arise. Even the powerful opening of the Emei Sect saw numerous ignorant fools causing disturbances, and his event would certainly be no exception.

He had gathered people from various sects, firstly to let them stock up goods in advance, creating more high-quality treasures, aiming for a dazzling impression on the visitors. The Immortal Market would provide each with a large mansion: such a grand venue couldn't be empty and devoid of goods, if not enough in quantity then must uplift in quality, at least having one showpiece.

Moreover, when the Immortal Market opens, only cultivators with an invitation would be allowed entry. Shi Feiyang asked them who they were all planning to invite; he wanted to compile a list and would have to approve before the invitations could be sent.

In such matters, Yu Xiao was the most eager, constantly asking for this and that, and at times clamoring to present a shocking Divine Talisman refined by the Kunlun Sect during the event.

The Wudang Sect was also bustling with activity; with many people speaking at once, each contributing a word turned the discussion intensely lively.

Xu Feiniang was distracted, trying several times to find an opportunity to speak privately with Shi Feiyang about the Huashan Sect, but Shi Feiyang kept diverting the conversation. Luckily, as midnight drew close, Shi Feiyang remained seated here without leaving.

As long as you sit here, the conflict with the Huashan Sect won't arise. Even with your high Dao level, you can't physically split yourself to commit killings, right? Even if you could, Shi Nanxi is no pushover, with centuries of Dao cultivation, only slightly less than the Poison Dragon Venerable, the Fiery Fire Ancestor, and such sect hierarchs, distracting yourself to eliminate them wouldn't be easy.

Thinking this, Xu Feiniang somewhat relaxed. She was resolved to keep an eye on Shi Feiyang here. If he indeed couldn't let go of his past grudges, or for whatever reason, a conflict with the Huashan Sect arose, she could intervene nearby. Whatever it took, she had to prevent conflict between the two sects; if Shi Feiyang indeed killed those from the Huashan Sect, the Wutai Sect would certainly seek revenge, leading to a fierce battle with him, ultimately benefiting the Emei Sect.

She would not allow such a thing to occur!

As midnight approached, Shi Feiyang showed no indication of leaving, and Xu Feiniang gradually let down her guard, joining the discussion on how the Wutai Sect should refine swords and invite friends.

As the atmosphere buzzed, Shi Feiyang suddenly signaled everyone to quiet down: "I've always upheld the principle of 'If no one offends me, I offend no one,' and most enmities arise because the other side has gone too far. However, some matters, the more I tolerate, the more they think I am weak.

I reckon when the market opens, many troublemakers will inevitably come to disrupt. If we want to keep them away, we must let them know beforehand what consequences they'll face if they dare to desecrate my Dao grounds."

Xu Feiniang heard his tone change and felt something was off. Just as she was about to speak, Shi Feiyang gestured with his left hand to stop her, then ordered his disciples to bring forth a Crystal Ball.

"This Crystal Ball belonged to the old monk Yideng. After I slaughtered his entire sect and destroyed the Rotary Temple, this treasure fell into my hands. Today, I'll use this Crystal Ball to let everyone enjoy a spectacle!"

He pointed a finger, and inside the Crystal Ball, wind surged and light shifted, quickly stabilizing to reveal a scene of Mingyu Immortal Market. People from the Huashan Sect were scattering in all directions, waving flags and starting fires; within moments, the inside of the Crystal Ball was engulfed in flames.

Everyone was shocked, especially Xu Feiniang, who suddenly stood up: "I'll go stop them right now! We cannot let them destroy the Immortal Market!"

At that moment, she deeply regretted the letter she had sent to the Huashan Sect, and she inwardly cursed Shi Nanxi: "This immoral, short-lived beast! He claims to practice cultivation for centuries, yet acts as foolish as a dumb pig, a dull ox, even intricately deceiving himself, coming to burn down the Immortal Market! The Fiery Fire Ancestor must also be blind after centuries of bitter cultivation to let such a donkey hybrid lead the sect, what else could lead Huashan to destruction and sever their Dao inheritance!"

"Xu Dao-friend, why rush so?" Shi Feiyang said leisurely, "As I said, tonight was meant for watching a spectacle. Besides, with your status, can you really stop them? You're a wise person, why bother getting agitated by fools' folly? Come, sit back with us and enjoy the show!"
