The group from Extreme Fire Sect suddenly descended from the Divine Mountain, and arrived abruptly at Zhu Lang Pavilion.

Their actions were direct and forceful, openly barricading Zhu Lang Pavilion. Anyone entering or leaving must undergo scrutiny from the Extreme Fire Sect.

Innkeeper Yin Xu was, of course, alarmed and hurried downstairs, placing herself in front of Qiu Ben at the doorway, her angry face barely managing a smile as she tried to be polite, "Where did these noble guests come from, daring to barricade my Zhu Lang Pavilion directly? Could they be men from the Royal Court?"

"Innkeeper, we meet again." Xi Quan, the person in charge of the Extreme Fire Sect here in Yao Mountain City, made an appearance, introducing Qiu Ben, "This is the Martial Hall Master of our Extreme Fire Sect."

Yin Xu was slightly shocked, not expecting the Martial Hall Master of Extreme Fire Sect to come personally, and immediately bowed, "So it is Master Qiu, I've heard of your great name for a long time. Little did I know Master would grace us with your presence, Yin Xu..."

"Enough." Qiu Ben didn't have time for this flattery from the fox spirit, directly asked, "The two guests in the finest room on the top floor, take me to see them."

Yin Xu's heart skipped a beat as she glanced at the armed formation before her, "Master Qiu, with such a display searching for people, I fear it would disturb other guests, making it difficult for my inn to run business. Should we have them withdrawn first?"

Qiu Ben coldly stared at her unmoved.

Withdraw the people? Impossible, withdrawing them would allow those two to slip away!

Suddenly, someone flashed and flew up like a phantom around Zhu Lang Pavilion, swiftly arriving at the top floor, pinpointed Shi Chun's room and directly broke the window, enlarging the opening and barged in.

Some accompanying personnel also followed suit into the air.

Yin Xu's face changed drastically, this was no different from wrecking her establishment; the true reputation of Zhu Lang Pavilion here was to hold strong, and no one dared to cause trouble.

What made her even more tense was that Wang Ping and Gao He were already not inside the room.

Unable to hold back, she also took people and soared up chasing after them.

Upon entering through the broken window upstairs, she found that the Extreme Fire Sect group was already rummaging over the place, creating a terrible mess.

No sign of Shi Chun or the other person in the room.

Seeing the disciples shake their heads to indicate, a wave of invisible mana rippled out from Qiu Ben's body, instantly covering the entire Zhu Lang Pavilion region, no movement of anyone could escape his perception.

After monitoring the entire area, he ordered, "Gather people and search from the top floor downwards level by level!"

"Understood." The disciples obeyed orders, swiftly departed to execute.

Yin Xu's face was unable to control her anger, "Master Qiu, isn't this excessively overboard? My Zhu Lang Pavilion has established here in Yao Mountain City not without support, you cannot bully too much!"

Qiu Ben sneered with cold eyes, indifferently said, "You mean the Western Emperor Domain Master? If I don't find people today, do you believe even if I were to kill this little demon like you, he wouldn't say much?"

Yin Xu angrily retorted, "Do you find my Qingqiu Fox Clan easy to bully?"

Qiu Ben disdained, "A cheap wench flaunting charm, if I give you face, you're the innkeeper here, if not, you're just a plaything under the Western Emperor's crotch, are you worthy to flaunt the 'Qingqiu' banner? Aren't you disgracing Qingqiu, does Qingqiu know?"

These words directly struck Yin Xu's face to flush and pale alternately, unable to speak, also hitting her sore point. Why did she curry favor with Wang Ping? To earn some recognition!

Some choices are made on an empty stomach, once meals are settled, she wanted to put back the clothes she shed, however, turning back was already too late; she realized not everyone could put them back on.

Her clan didn't recognize her, her man also regarded her as a palm ornament.

Being publicly humiliated like this was like someone tearing off her glamorous exterior clothing in public; it was the first time she faced such public humiliation after settling here.

Under the shame and anger, she clenched her fists tightly, yet considering fighting back not an option against such opponents; in their eyes, with her strength being no more than an ant.

Beside her was the junior steward Tian Shen, his face full of furious grievance, yet also someone daring to be angry but silently compliant.

Meanwhile, the remaining disciples of Extreme Fire Sect stifled a laugh at the edge of their lips, the stance differs, unrelated to right or wrong and morality.

Qiu Ben disregarded the opposite side's resentment, and scornfully added, "Don't say you, even if the current patriarch of Qingqiu came, they would still need to give our Extreme Fire Sect some courtesy!"

Just then, several figures hurriedly arrived.

Lou Xiu, Inner Court Captain of Yao Mountain City, upon hearing the news, rushed over with his people, accompanied by Po Yuan from Divine Mountain's Mountain Patrol.

Seeing the damaged window, Lou Xiu hesitated, "What is going on here?"

Some decisions were made spontaneously by Qiu Ben, who had situational decision authority due to his position and level in Extreme Fire Sect, similar to acting first and informing later, so Lou Xiu had not received any inside information beforehand.

Yin Xu immediately approached him, clasping her fists, "Captain Lou, someone forcibly barged into my Zhu Lang Pavilion guest rooms, openly utilizing private methods to enclose my Zhu Lang Pavilion, I ask for Captain Lou to uphold justice."

These words made Lou Xiu somewhat vexed; he is after all a local official, someone openly breaking the law, how could he not address it? He immediately clasped his fists towards Qiu Ben, "Is this Master Qiu of Extreme Fire Sect? What you're doing definitely is a bit much."

Qiu Ben calmly declared, "Ah, so it is Yao Mountain City's Captain, perfect timing to report to the authorities. The two guests in this room have stolen a treasure from my Extreme Fire Sect and are suspected of killing our disciples; fearing they may escape with the treasure and not having enough time, hence the reason for not reporting earlier. Whatever losses occurred later, my Extreme Fire Sect will compensate accordingly and accept penalties!"

Lou Xiu sighed, "Master Qiu, one issue at a time, your open use of private methods to barricade within the city is definitely inappropriate, better have them withdrawn first."
