The entire group of Huaban lived in a specially created spiritual spring pool. Small caves, resembling the Cave of a Thousand Buddhas, were carved into the stone walls along the pool's edge, providing shelter for young demon beasts like fish that didn't need to breathe. Nearby was a shallow area inhabited by creatures like turtles and seashells that would occasionally raise their heads to breathe.

There was an empty spot on the beach.

It is the Prime Minister's bed.

Mei'er quickly released the paper cranes to let everyone find the little turtle.

"Headmaster, it's terrible! The Prime Minister has run away again!"

As a former disciple of the Five Spirits Sect, Shao Ende naturally knew the detailed map of the sect.

The sect's treasure trove had long been looted, but there are always people who will hide some treasures in unexpected places and bury them in these ruins.

They're dead, and since no one claimed the treasure, it ended up in Shao Ende's hands.

He lied about clearing the ruins, secretly found their hiding place for shells, and pocketed the treasures without reporting it to the zoo.

Upon careful inventory, it turned out that there were actually a million spirit stones and many high-quality magic treasures inside.

He's really struck it rich; he now has the capital to start anew!

Fortunately, he kept speaking ill of the Beast Garden, and many cultivators, after hearing his words, no longer trusted the Beast Garden so much.

Mei'er, that wretched hussy, refused to go with him, so he decided to go by himself.

There will be plenty of opportunities to make this woman regret it later!

"Brothers, this Hundred Beasts Garden belongs to the Demon Sect. They revere demons and discriminate against us human cultivators! We work here, cleaning up the grounds, just to provide for those demons! We're busy earning these meager spirit stones, doing this and that, only to end up shoveling shit for demon cultivators. Are you willing to accept that?"

Shao Ende stood atop the ruins and raised his arm in a shout.

The crowd looked at each other, bewildered.

Shao Ende took out a handful of spirit stones and scattered them into the sky.

The glittering spirit stones fell like shooting stars, and the cultivators rushed over, greedily scrambling to grab them.

Some spirit stones have been refined, and the spiritual energy of one piece can be equivalent to that of a hundred other stones. There are also rare and priceless stones that are available for purchase!

These are free; no work is required. Only a fool wouldn't grab them!

Shao Ende continued to shower money on the sect: "I have spirit stones and magic treasures! If you follow me, you'll have spirit stones, magic treasures, spirit pets, and women! I know a blessed land that, with a little development, will be no worse than the Hundred Beasts Garden. Let's go tonight and build our own sect!"

There was no protective array from the Beast Garden on these ruins. By the time the Beast Garden discovered their rebellion, it was too late.

The crowd picked up the spirit stones, stuffed them into their belts and sleeves, and shouted in unison, "Sect Leader Shao! We are willing to serve you!"

The Prime Minister rubbed his eyes, lifted the folds of Shao Ende's sleeve, and peeked out from behind the turtle's head.

Why is it so noisy outside?

They woke him up!
