Upon hearing Youquan's words, everyone was deeply moved by his noble sentiments.

Two against eight. Although their combat power is astonishing, the Northern Desert Empire has been established for many years, and who knows what tricks they might have up their sleeves.

Mu Ying chimed in, "Since we've already benefited, we won't let the two of you be the ones on the front lines. We'll face any difficulties together, advance and retreat as one, and live and die together!"

"Yes, we'll stand together through thick and thin, through life and death!"

Many people responded enthusiastically, but it's impossible to know how much of it was genuine.

Those who follow the demonic path don't care about their own families, so why would they care about Youquan and Pang Ban? They'd be lucky if they didn't take advantage of their misfortune when the opportunity presented itself.

Youquan and Pangban have achieved their goal: Hengtong Bank is about to be acquired. This is a great achievement. Once they accomplish this, it will be difficult for them not to become immortals. They will rise to the top in one step and ascend to the level of Tiger Power Immortal!

That was their real purpose, and they didn't care at all how much truth was in what they said!

The Longevity Demon Technique was merely something Youquan and his companion idly deduced. In the early stages of cultivation, it did indeed offer some benefits to lifespan, but as cultivation deepened, the Longevity Demon Technique didn't possess any particularly extraordinary abilities.

Youquan's claim of adding three thousand years to one's lifespan was merely a deception. No one could master it in a short time, and therefore, no one could verify the authenticity of this technique.

Hengtong Bank has branches throughout the five empires and has a presence throughout the entire human race. Who knows how much wealth they possess? Even Ding Ruohai himself probably doesn't know.

Even if they forcibly killed Ding Ruohai and searched his soul, they wouldn't get anything they were interested in; they could only trick Ding Ruohai into taking the bait himself.

There are too many things about them that could interest these demonic cultivators; even a small detail would be astonishing.

Youquan clasped his hands in a fist salute to everyone, his face resolute, and said, "There's no need for further persuasion. You can all stay behind and provide support for us. Now that this matter is settled, Sect Master Ding, how about I go with your men to retrieve Hengtong's valuables?"

Ding Ruohai asked with some curiosity, "Why did the Sect Leader of Youquan go to collect it personally? I can just have my subordinates count and send it over. It won't take too long, two months will be enough."

Youquan laughed and said, "Sect Leader Ding, did you see how I took out that cultivation manual?"

Upon hearing this, everyone remembered that the technique seemed to have appeared out of thin air in Youquan's hands, and they immediately asked curiously, "Does Sect Leader Youquan also possess the ability to conceal objects in the void?"

"This is a technique I comprehended when I mastered the Longevity Demon Technique; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a celestial art."

"That immortality technique actually has such methods?"

"I can use this technique to quickly transfer valuables. As long as the location is clear, it will only take me an hour to go there. In this way, I can transfer the supplies in less than two or three days. Wouldn't that save a lot of time?"

Seeing the troubled expressions on everyone's faces, Youquan knew what they were thinking and continued.

"Don't worry, everyone. I, Youquan, will not run away. Afterwards, I will divide the wealth equally with you according to the statistics of Sect Master Ding. In urgent situations, we must act quickly once we have made a plan, otherwise things may change if we delay."

Hearing that Youquan's words made perfect sense, everyone responded, "What are you saying, Master Youquan? How could someone with such a magnanimous heart be greedy for these gold and silver treasures?"

Ding Ruohai couldn't find any loopholes, since in his eyes those external things didn't really attract much to their own cultivation. They could only be used to strengthen the foundation of their respective sects. Youquan had no reason to embezzle these things.

After that, Youquan was constantly on the move, and he would forcibly search the souls of the local officials in each place, which resulted in him collecting far more than they had reported.

In just one day, his little cave was filled to the brim, and he had to secretly deliver the contents of the little cave to Meng Fan in person.

Several days passed in this way, and Youquan traveled to the five great empires and numerous dynasties, looting the entire Hengtong Bank!

Although the war caused major empires to suppress Hengtong Bank, resulting in many merchants withdrawing their money, the remaining wealth and treasures were still countless. There were three billion taels of gold and silver alone, and many other treasures were piled up like mountains in Meng Fan's small world.

Meng Fan was overjoyed at the windfall and immediately decided to summon Youquan and Pang Ban to preach to them.

Overjoyed, the two paid no heed to the group of demonic cultivators and vanished from their sight without a trace.

This drove Ding Ruohai almost mad. His subordinates reported to him that Youquan's activities in various branches of Hengtong Bank were devastating, leaving nothing but barren land. Even the decorative flooring was packed up and taken away by Youquan!

What's even more outrageous is that the entire family of the staff of Hengtong Money Exchange in the area was searched, and all valuable items were taken away. Their looting skills were even more terrifying than a locust plague!

The entire human race was stunned. When they woke up one night, they found that the once magnificent Hengtong Bank was gone, leaving only broken bricks and tiles. It seemed that even being robbed wouldn't have left it so bare!

The disappearance of Hengtong Bank also had a significant impact on various empires and dynasties. The Tengyun Empire and the Longyuan Empire had already used official means to seize a lot of Hengtong Bank's assets. Now that Hengtong Bank was deserted, those assets naturally ended up in their pockets.

The biggest beneficiary was none other than the Ji Yuan Empire. Li Chaoqing had taken the advice of the Fourth Ancestor Li Qing and had been exceptionally ruthless in his treatment of Hengtong Bank, basically seizing most of its assets. He had confiscated a lot of wealth before Youquan even made its move, which made the Ji Yuan Empire extremely wealthy, making other empires extremely envious.

Not to mention Ding Ruohai was so angry that he was about to lose his mind, even the sect leaders and elders of the demonic path were stunned and could not believe Youquan's behavior.

"You're not a human being!"

Ding Ruohai's expression was ferocious, determined to capture Youquan and Pang Ban alive, but this could not quell the hatred in his heart!

Seeing Ding Ruohai's frantic state, Mu Ying cautiously asked, "Sect Leader Ding, are we still going to the Northern Desert Empire?"

Ding Ruohai looked at him with a murderous gaze and said hatefully, "Of course we'll go, but before that, we need to find Youquan and Pang Ban. I want them dead!"

"Sect Leader Ding, they may escape, but they can't hide. Let's go together to the Blood Demon Sect and the Demon Master's Palace, and attack them when they have to defend them!"

"Leave now! I want half of their followers and their descendants to die before they even arrive!"

After saying that, he took the lead and flew rapidly towards the Blood God Sect. Mu Ying and the others looked at each other and then also took off.

Meng Fan's peach orchard was shrouded in a chaotic aura, making it impossible for outsiders to see what was happening inside.

The chaotic energy isolated this space from the Azure Profound Continent, making it seem infinitely mysterious!

"wake up!"

Meng Fan's sharp shout startled the others present.

These people were Cao Zhengchun, the Sweeping Monk, Youquan, and Pang Ban.

“I have been preaching for three years, and you have all made progress. Go and do your own thing.”
