That's so true!
It was absolutely the right decision for me to stay in Lanyue Sect.
Such train of thought, such fantastic ideas about illusion, if I hadn't met the sect master and let myself figure it out, I'm afraid I would never be able to figure it out in my lifetime, right?
But now...
When the sect leader reminded me, my thoughts started to flow like a spring!
Perhaps this road will be extremely difficult, but as long as you grit your teeth and keep moving forward, one day you will be able to embark on this smooth road.
Until then...
Your own strength will be hard to estimate!
With just illusion, one may be able to defy fate!!!
······
Zuo Yu and Wang Teng left.
Lin Fan sat alone in the conference room, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"I hope you can succeed, and it will be worth my time and energy to fool you."
"'Borrowing' is actually a very time-consuming process. After all, we have to move from the 'ninja system' to the cultivation system, and there are many things that need to be changed."
"But then again, if you think about it carefully, those illusions in Naruto are really amazing."
"I can only say that he is worthy of being called the 'Legend of the Eyes'."
Tsukuyomi, Izanami, Izanagi, Kotoamatsukami, Infinite Tsukuyomi...
In the original work, it might not seem so amazing, or even... a little mediocre? After all, the combat power system in the original work is just like that, how can it be compared with the immortal cultivation system?
I'm afraid that any cultivator in the sixth or seventh realm would be able to kill them completely. Even if the Otsutsuki clan came, they would be completely unstoppable.
But if these illusions were "borrowed" from the world of cultivating immortals, it would be a completely different story.
After all, the enemies in the world of immortal cultivation are stronger!
If you want to have the same effect, the illusion must be improved 'proportionately'.
And because the caster is also a cultivator, it is not impossible for the illusion effect to be increased proportionally, so this kind of thing is "established"!
As for whether it would succeed, Lin Fan couldn't say for sure.
All I can say is, leave it to time.
But if it succeeds...
The effect is amazing!
"But then again, these eyes...can I share them?"
He tried to share, but unfortunately, failed.
At least I didn't get pink eye.
However, all of Zuo Yu's current 'eye skills' can be used normally.
"Understood."
"Eyes are part of the body and cannot be shared. After all, sharing the body... is too fucked up. It is reasonable not to share."
"But the skills are still used, so there's nothing wrong with that."
"But then again, in 'Legend of the Eyes', performing those powerful illusions puts a lot of strain on the eyes, and blood spurts out at any time."
"Will Zuo Yu be like this in the future?"
“···”
"Tsk."
“···”
······
After returning to Lanyue Palace, Lin Fan said to Yaya, "Please tell the Lanyue Sect's main lineage to make preparations in advance. After the Haoyue lineage has finished dealing with everything, we will start the relocation process."
"After all the development, it's time to move to a better place."
"Besides, this area has its limits after all. Even if we use all kinds of spirit gathering arrays and maximize the resources at all costs, there is still a gap between it and those treasured places."
The time for 'moving' cannot be said to be imminent, but the sooner the better.
Before, we were not strong enough and had too many troubles.
But now, we can get started on this matter, and the sooner the better.
After all, the more 'blessed' the place is, the faster the cultivators can practice!
In the past, the cultivation level of everyone in the main lineage of the Lan Yue Sect was not very high. In addition, they were willing to set up a large number of spirit gathering arrays and use Yuan Stones to provide Yuan Ling Qi. In addition, with the support of various elixirs and other resources, the disciples' cultivation speed was remarkable.
But... now, it is a bit of a drag.
After all, the foundations of these sacred mountains here are too poor.
If you continue to "cultivate" it, you can continue to "improve" it, but it will be a bit like getting half the result with twice the effort, which is not worth it.
What's more, the Ximen family's "ruins" were originally the territory of the Lanyue Sect more than ten thousand years ago. Moving there now can be regarded as returning to the old place and returning the property to its original owner.
Very good~
"Yes, Master, I will arrange it right away."
Yaya was about to leave, but then asked, "What about the medicinal fields over here? Are they moving away too?"
"That's not necessary. Let's keep all the medicinal fields. In the future, this place can be used as a medicinal field!"
"By then, we can set up two teleportation arrays to facilitate travel, and by planting spiritual herbs for a long time, we can also nourish this area. Perhaps after a long time, this place can also become a blessed land?"
The Lanyue Sect is still developing.
There will be many places that will need land in the future. Although we are planning to move out of this "marginal" area, we can't just abandon it.
After all, there are 1,314 sacred mountains, which are definitely enough to be used as medicinal fields.
And thanks to the hard work of the wood elves, there is no problem in using this place to grow ordinary or even upper-middle level spiritual medicines.
······
That night.
The moon is high in the sky.
Lu Ming, Ji Haoyue and the elders of the Haoyue lineage who came through the teleportation array finally demolished everything that was valuable and could be demolished in the entire Hongwu Immortal City.
Then, it receded like the tide.
"The old sect master and I will heal our wounds first."
Returning to the Haoyue clan, Lu Ming ordered: "You should immediately count the gains. Keep all the personal belongings of the cultivators, and take 80% of the assets of those legitimate and reputable forces."
"As for the remaining 20%, ask them to send someone to pick it up themselves."
"As for those forces that are not worth mentioning, there is no need to hand them over."
"After counting the resources, report to the main vein first and let them make the decision."
“···”
Ji Haoyue moved his mouth, but ultimately did not speak.
What he actually wanted to say was, with so many good things, it would be much better to keep them for himself, why give them to the main branch?
But think about it, you only want the benefits without wanting to pay?
dream!
The main lineage has provided so many elixirs to support the Haoyue lineage, and you still want to have it all to yourself?
I'm afraid it hasn't been cleaned up...
There's no such thing anywhere!
"well."
Ji Haoyue sighed softly, disappeared in a flash, and went to heal his wounds.
As the saying goes...out of sight, out of mind.
······
At the same time, some people who were interested in this matter finally gritted their teeth and prepared to gradually investigate the current situation of Hongwu Immortal City.
Hongwu, you are so awesome!
Thousands of years of planning have directly resulted in other people having no idea what is going on. Even the people in Hongwu Immortal City are the same. They don't know how they died until they died.
Therefore, not much news got out at the beginning.
Even a sect as powerful as the Hehuan Sect was confused at the beginning.
The Hehuan Tower opened by their Hehuan Sect in Hongwu Fairy City was simply gone!
All the disciples, deacons, and girls died suddenly!
The life tablet exploded directly, leaving nothing behind.
This surprised them, but they immediately tried to find out what was going on. However, after much inquiry, they found that almost everyone related to the forces within Hongwu Immortal City had no idea what had happened.
Because their people had also died suddenly!
Before he died, there was no time to send the message back.
It was not until almost a day had passed that they urgently dispatched a ninth-level being from the "headquarters" to investigate.
In addition to the Hehuan Sect, there are also some beings with powerful backgrounds who sent cultivators from the Ninth Realm.
As for the relatively weaker ones...
Then they sent their assassins to come.
The ninth realm? They don't have it, and they can't afford it.
The seventh and eighth realms are coming. It would not be worth it if I get killed.
The dead soldiers are the most cost-effective. After all, we have to find out what happened first.
However, when they arrived one after another...
But I was stunned for a moment.
"this?!"
"Where is Hongwu Immortal City?!"
"Where is that huge fairy city? Where is it?"
"Why has it become a ruin?"
"Not only has Hongwu Immortal City been reduced to ruins, but the Hongwu Immortal Alliance is gone too!"
"No one!"
"hiss!!!"
"this???"
"According to the news, Hongwu was undergoing a tribulation before. Could it be related to this matter?"
"Could it be that there was an extremely powerful being who fought a great battle with Hongwu and destroyed Hongwu Immortal City and killed everyone in it with one palm strike?"
"Impossible! Even if everyone was shot dead, there's no way nothing would be left behind!"
"Damn it."
"check!!!"
"Check it for me!"
“···”
At this moment, both the Ninth Realm boss and those death warriors were stunned.
Damn it, it would be fine if everyone was gone.
The most important thing is that there is not even a hair left. How can this be tolerated?!
“···”
However.
Just when they were burning with rage and ready to investigate the matter thoroughly, the Haoyue lineage suddenly jumped out to make a public statement and exposed the evil deeds of the immortal Hongwu.
This matter...
It cannot be concealed.
Those big forces will definitely be found out.
Instead of hiding it, it's better to say it directly!
When people all over the world learned that Hongwu was actually a great demon, and a very rare nine-tailed fox, there was an uproar.
When they learned that Hongwu had been planning for thousands of years and had sought the title at the cost of hundreds of millions of people sacrificing themselves, they were extremely shocked.
Compared to the shock of cultivators all over the world, most of the immortals who were driven almost crazy by the approaching immortal calamity were excited.
"The Immortal Tribulation... can it be overcome this way?!"
"Chance!"
"I...can still live!"
The last calamity for scattered immortals was full of dangers and almost life-threatening. Knowing that they would die in the 'next calamity for scattered immortals', those scattered immortals who were already exhausted, or gave up or went crazy, almost jumped 30,000 feet high!
"It's a desperate situation."
"As the saying goes, there are fifty great ways and forty-nine heavenly eyes. If I lose one of them, this may be the only one that belongs to me!"
"I knew there was a way out! There is no way out for humans, and similarly, there is no way out for immortals!!!"
A second-tribulation Loose Immortal stood up and laughed, "My way of survival lies here. Hahahaha, in three days, I will become a third-tribulation Loose Immortal!"
He started operating immediately.
Before this, he had gone mad and even killed all his close relatives and tortured them to death.
after all···
He already had less than three days left to live. For a man who was once just one step away from becoming an immortal, this was naturally difficult to accept and he could easily go completely mad.
That's just how he is.
But at this moment, suddenly seeing the hope of life, he regretted it.
"Alas, it's too early."
"We should have waited a little longer. Otherwise, we wouldn't be in this situation right now, with no one available to help us."
"But, it's not a big deal. He's just a madman anyway. What's wrong with being a little crazier?"
"snort!"
He disappeared from the spot in a flash.
When he reappeared, he was already in a fairy city of moderate size.
boom!
The terrifying aura of a second-level immortal spread out instantly, causing everyone in the city to tremble and kneel down involuntarily: "Listen to my orders!"
“···”
No one available? Then take them first!
Not convinced?
Then kill them all!
If one person disobeys, then kill him. If ten people disobey, then kill ten. If none of them disobeys? Then kill them all!
Someone will always listen!
Recruiting these subordinates, and letting them use illusion and charm to control others, and then have them sacrifice themselves for you...what's the difficulty?
"Three days? That's enough!"
This immortal traveled everywhere and committed many sins of murder.
In the end, he managed to gather enough people.
Even more than Hongwu’s thousands of years of planning!
After all, Hongwu was only planning in secret, but he was "open and aboveboard", and because time was tight, he was doing things like crazy!
at the same time···
There is more than one immortal who is preparing to take action and making plans.
However, they were not as anxious as the second-tribulation immortal, Shangguan Chunqiu, so they were not so anxious.
Three days later!
Shangguan Chunqiu survived the tribulation in the void above the wasteland of a hundred battles!
The terrifying thunder covered the sky and the sun, and the terrifying aura made all living beings tremble.
In the past, Shangguan Chunqiu would be so frightened, trembling and feeling desperate at just one look at this kind of terrifying thunder, and would hardly have the slightest desire to resist.
because···
It really cannot be stopped, there is no way out.
But at this moment, he was full of confidence and had a bright smile.
"Dispersed Immortal Tribulation?"
"snort!"
"You can be as strong as you want, but the spring breeze is blowing across the hills, so why should I be afraid?"
“Let alone the third Scattering Immortal Tribulation, even the fourth, tenth, or twelfth one, what does it matter? It is easy for me to overcome them!”
"A mere scattered immortal calamity is worthy of stopping me?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
"bring it on!!!"
"Give it to me, come!"
boom!
Suffering provocation.
The calamity clouds rolled in, and purple sky thunder fell instantly.
Shangguan Chunqiu's expression changed slightly, but he knew that there were many people watching from afar at the moment, and he couldn't lose his momentum!
You've already put on a show of force, you can't just go straight into action without even having to survive the first thunderbolt, right?
That's so embarrassing!
"Break it for me!"
Boom!
He used all his strength and pushed all his secret techniques to the extreme, going against the will of heaven and competing against the thunder!
Boom, boom, boom!
It was as if the void was a war drum, and the roaring sound resounded through heaven and earth.
Shangguan Chunqiu emerged from the thunder and lightning, and he really looked invincible.
but···
If you look closely, you will find that Shangguan Chunqiu's hands and legs are shaking.
"Humph, nothing more than that."
Family members know their own business.
Shangguan Chunqiu knew very well that he had already suffered some minor injuries in the first thunderbolt. The second thunderbolt? He could block it, but it would at least be a serious blow.
The third one?
Must die!
therefore···
Even though he spoke powerfully, in reality, he was already a coward.
He is so timid and steady.
He immediately waved his hand and sent a message to his new subordinates.
These subordinates were forcibly "conquered" and had the master-servant mark planted on them. They dared not resist at all and could only control those who were charmed with bitter faces to prepare for sacrifice.
Shangguan Chunqiu asked for a title as soon as he opened his mouth.
Although···
He is a human being, but no one stipulates that humans cannot be conferred the title of God~!
Everyone in the dark was paying close attention to everything that happened next.
And what made them happy was that...it went extremely smoothly.
After asking for the title, Shangguan Chunqiu actually became somewhat divine!
And when those who were bewitched sacrificed themselves, Shangguan Chunqiu became even more sacred, like a god on earth or his real self.
"it turns out···"
"Really?!"
"So the news is true!"
"Hurry back and report to the master."
"In that case, if we fail to become immortals in the future and are forced to disintegrate into scattered immortals, there is no need to panic. Although this method is a bit too cruel, but..."
"Survival is the most important thing!"
“···”
Under their gaze, Shangguan Chunqiu laughed loudly towards the sky.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
With a wave of his hand, the vast clouds of disaster dissipated.
"I am God!"
"It's just a scattered immortal calamity, how can it stop me?"
Done!
The excitement in his heart surpassed that of anyone else.
I have already successfully stepped onto the 'God's Way', and Heaven has to give me some face.
It’s just a scattered immortal calamity, can’t it be overcome just by saying so?
However.
Before he could get excited.
Before those people left in the dark...
Boom!
The calamity cloud that had just been dispersed by Shangguan Chunqiu gathered again, and was even thicker and more terrifying than before.
Shangguan Chunqiu looked distraught and felt a little embarrassed.
You don't even give me face?!
but···
Before he could express his opinion, and before he could continue to show off, the calamity clouds in the sky suddenly began to surge violently, and the lightning snakes that were originally wandering around began to "surge"!
Both in terms of quantity and size.
Then, the snake grew into a python, the python grew into a dragon, and the dragon grew into a dragon!
The sky full of thunder snakes directly turned into a sky full of thunder dragons.
Both the 'quality' and 'quantity' were increased a hundred times in an instant!
"this?!"
"Why is that?"
Shangguan Chunqiu was numb.
Those who were watching in the dark were surprised.
They can't figure it out.
That doesn't make sense!
Everything was fine before and went smoothly, but why was there such a strange change now?
"Could it be that Heaven is somewhat dissatisfied?"
"It's normal to be dissatisfied. After all, it's... taking advantage of the situation, right?"
"However, even if you take shortcuts, it is still 'outside the rules'. There is no reason for the laws of nature to restrict you, right?"
"Perhaps he wanted to scare Shangguan Chunqiu?"
"That should be it."
While the people in the dark were watching, they were also communicating and whispering secretly.
but···
Their guess has just come to fruition.
Then they saw a terrifying thunderbolt that was hundreds or even thousands of times thicker than the previous one crashing down.
If the thunder just now was as thick as a bucket...
At that moment, it was like a "lake" pouring down directly.
Moreover, the color and destructive law of the thunder are more than a hundred times stronger than before.
"this?"
"No!!!"
Shangguan Chunqiu was almost scared to death. How could he block such a terrifying thunder?
How to cross?!
You will definitely die if you touch it or get close to it!
Isn't this going to cost you your life?!
"I am a god on earth!"
"Why is it so?"
"The thunderbolt should disperse quickly!"
He was so panicked that he almost spoke without thinking.
All kinds of roars and snarls, trying to survive.
But it's useless.
It would have been better if he didn't say anything. Once he spoke, the thunder became even more terrifying.
"No!!!"
He turned around and ran away, but where could he escape to?
If one can still "escape" after surviving the tribulation... wouldn't that be a joke to the Heavenly Dao?
“No!!!”
In just a blink of an eye, the terrifying thunder like the ocean was already before his eyes. The breath of death instantly lingered in his heart, and Shangguan Chunqiu went crazy instantly.
He thought he was going to die, and he went insane, even killing everyone around him.
As a result, they got the news, saw hope, and decided to seize it at all costs.
But···
Where the hell is hope?
This is clearly an attempt to hook me up and kill me!
Killing is not the right thing to do, but this...
I’m afraid that I won’t be able to die!
Not to mention that he was only a second-tribulation Loose Immortal, even if he was a fucking tenth-tribulation Loose Immortal, he would have died instantly, right? !
hope?
Hopefully, a hammer!
Is there anything more desperate than this?
“···”
"Hongwu, I fuck your ancestors!!!"
"You're fucking me!"
boom!
The thunder fell.
Shangguan Chunqiu turned to ashes in an instant and disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, it seemed as if all the evil in the world had been cleared away.
Those monks who were forced by Shangguan Chunqiu to help the tyrant also died at this moment, and not a single one was left.
Then...
The calamity thunder receded and the calamity clouds dissipated.
The world regained its clarity, the light of the sun shone down, and the Hundred Battles Wasteland remained the same as before, without any change visible.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would have been hard to imagine that just a moment ago, this place had such an astonishing scene.
"this···?"
"What about the promise to take shortcuts and easily get through the Sanxian Tribulation?"
"This...this is called easy?!"
The people who were watching in the dark appeared one after another. At this moment, they looked at each other and all of them trembled.
Scary!
It’s so fucking scary!
This kind of scene is simply fatal!
Moreover, this is exactly the same as the scene when Hongwu transcended the tribulation... It cannot be said that there are no similarities, it can only be said that there is no difference at all!
What happened to the promise that I could take shortcuts and easily overcome the calamity?
Is this what you call easy tribulation?
This is clearly going to kill me.
"Who spread the news?"
"Could it be that this is fake news, deliberately done?"
"No, this matter cannot be fake. As long as we investigate slowly, the truth will come out. Whether it is the Lanyue Sect or the Haoyue Clan, no one dares to spread false news!"
"Indeed, they dare not do so, but if it is true news...then why is the gap between Hongwu and Shangguan Chunqiu so big?"
"It is said that after Hongwu asked for a title, the power of the thunderbolts became more than a hundred times weaker. But after Shangguan Chunqiu asked for a title... the thunderbolts became more than a hundred times stronger?"
"!!!"
"What went wrong?"
At this moment, someone in the crowd frowned and speculated: "Could it be..."
"What is it?"
"Did Heaven discover that someone was taking advantage of the situation, and therefore...closed this 'road'?"
Everyone was stunned.
"this···"
“Isn’t it a bit weird?”
"But then again, although it is a bit bizarre, it is not impossible."
"The Way of Heaven is high above us. Who can fathom its existence? Not to mention taking advantage of it. This is almost like rubbing the majesty of the Way of Heaven to the ground!"
"It's okay if it happened only once and by only one person. After all, it was indeed opportunistic and the other person did nothing wrong. But the later ones still wanted to copy him, knowing that it was opportunistic but still doing it..."
"Put it another way!"
"The first person, without knowing it, stepped on the face of the Heavenly Dao to pass the tribulation. Although the Heavenly Dao was extremely reluctant, it had no choice but to accept it. After all, it had not 'explained it clearly' before."
"But after that, the news spread, and people continued to do so. They knew that doing so would offend the Heavenly Dao, but they still did it. It was obvious that they wanted to offend the Heavenly Dao and become immortals..."
"Do you think that Heaven will 'agree'?"
"Isn't this treating Heaven as a fool?!"
"!!!"
Everyone shuddered.
That makes sense!
The metaphor may not be appropriate, but if you think about it carefully, it is really the case.
So...
But some people rolled their eyes and said, "I think there are other possibilities, for example, Shangguan Chunqiu has done many evil things before."
"Why not..."
"Which Taoist friend would like to ask the immortal behind to try it?"
“···”
"Your calculations are too loud!"
"I can hear the crackling sound even in Central Province, right?"
"Is my master stupid?"
"snort!"
“···”
The crowd dispersed.
There is really nothing to be nostalgic about here.
As for why Shangguan Chunqiu ended up like this, they couldn't explain it, but that didn't stop them from telling their master what they knew.
Moreover, they all felt that the theory of Heaven's "closing the road" was very reliable.
Treat the way of heaven as a fool and stomp on its face crazily...
With this kind of operation, isn't it normal for Heaven to get angry?
“···”
······
The news spread quickly.
Those immortals who had already started planning or even acted quietly were suddenly paralyzed.
grass?
I've taken off my pants, and you tell me that what he took out is bigger than mine? ? ?
Who the hell can I go to for justice?!
“···”
"So, Heaven's Law no longer allows us to take shortcuts in this way?"
"Although I haven't received a definite answer yet, I think it is true."
"After all, this move is equivalent to playing with the laws of nature, and they are playing with the laws of nature knowing that this move is playing with the laws of nature. It is unreasonable for the laws of nature not to deal with the people who acted like this."
“Really…”
"well!"
Most of the immortals sighed quietly, and then gave up on this operation.
What else can we do?
Why are you so stubborn and continue doing this?
However, judging from Shangguan Chunqiu's experience, if he didn't do this, there might still be a glimmer of hope, even if it was only one in a billion. After all, there was still a glimmer of hope.
But if you do this...
That's really death.
There is not the slightest hope.
How to choose...
Is it difficult?
"well."
The hope that I finally saw turned out to be even deeper despair.
This feeling is really fucking annoying.
They sighed helplessly, then gave up the idea of "asking for a title" and started thinking of other ways.
······
"oh?"
As soon as Lu Ming came out of seclusion, he got the news and couldn't help but sigh: "After all, someone has 'put it into practice'. Hundreds of millions of people have been 'erased' again. It's really..."
“It’s pretty good.”
Ji Haoyue snorted and said, "Although Shangguan Chunqiu's crime is unforgivable, at least his death can be used to tell other immortals not to do the same."
"After this, this shouldn't happen again."
"otherwise···"
"I'm afraid this situation will happen again on a large scale, which will be a disaster for all people in the world."
“That’s true.”
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
There is really nothing wrong with what you said.
pity···
That's hundreds of millions of monks, not just a number.
"well."
With a light sigh, Lu Ming could only put the matter behind him for the time being.
What else can we do?
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, but... my current ability is obviously not strong enough.
Instead of feeling compassion for the world, it is better to become stronger as soon as possible.
If one day, I can become a rule maker...
It’s not too late to consider the people of the world.
"Archdeacon."
At this moment, the second elder came hurriedly. When he saw Lu Ming, his face suddenly lit up and he said, "We are in some trouble."
"oh?"
Lu Ming frowned, and before he could say anything, Ji Haoyue snorted coldly: "What trouble?!"
"How dare you come to my Haoyue...ah, how dare you come here to cause trouble."
He coughed dryly: "Who is it?!"
"yes···"
The second elder swallowed his saliva and said, "People from the Hehuan Sect."
"Hehuan Sect?"
Lu Ming blinked.
No cultivator in the Xianwu Continent is unfamiliar with the Hehuan Sect.
That is definitely a household name.
Even the reputation of the Hehuan Sect is greater than those holy places!
It is normal that you have never been to the Hehuan Sect or the Hehuan Tower, but it is absolutely ridiculous to say that you have never heard of the Hehuan Sect.
after all···
Cough cough cough.
Whether on the road of cultivation or after dinner, the Hehuan Sect is an excellent topic of conversation~
"Um."
The second elder smiled bitterly and said, "We have followed your instructions and have counted the harvest from Hongwu Immortal City. The number of Yuanshi is over 1 billion high-quality Yuanshi."
"The value of other medicinal materials and resources is much greater than that of Yuanshi, which is approximately equivalent to 1.3 billion high-quality Yuanshi."
"There are countless magic weapons and equipment, worth more than 5 billion high-quality Yuanshi, but unfortunately there are no imperial weapons..."
"But more than half of them come from various major forces. According to your instructions, 20% of them must be returned."
"The Hehuan Sect has three properties in Hongwu Immortal City, all of which are branches of the Hehuan Building."
"They came to take the resources back, but after seeing the storage bags we gave them, they said that they didn't want this amount."
The second elder spread his hands and said, "They said they would 'check the accounts' every night. Currently, the three Hehuan Towers combined should have more than 20 million high-grade Yuanshi, but we only paid less than 5 million. There is a big discrepancy between the numbers."
"He also said that this was all the hard-earned money of his girls, and asked us not to embezzle it."
Ji Haoyue frowned.
At this moment, his head was buzzing.
I was scared by the 'numbers'.
Tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of stones...
It’s still a top-grade Yuanshi!!!
This is a bit scary.
A piece of top-quality Yuanshi is worth a hundred times that of an ordinary Yuanshi.
In other words, based on ordinary Yuanshi, this number has to be multiplied by one hundred!
In other words, more than 100 billion or 500 billion? !
Adding up, it’s about 700 to 800 billion!
If such a huge sum of money is given to my Haoyue clan, won't it take off immediately? !
But...think about it.
The Hehuan Sect, however, is a trouble.
The Hehuan Sect is too strong.
Although they are engaged in the flesh trade, they are one of the best. Not only do they have Hehuan Towers all over the Xianwu Continent, their strength is second only to the Holy Land.
What's more...
There are so many beauties in Hehuan Tower, how many of them are your lovers?
Seeing Lu Ming pondering, Ji Haoyue couldn't help but want to persuade him.
He thought that he might as well just return everything to the Hehuan Sect.
After all, he could definitely eat a lot this time, and he wouldn't lack the more than 10 million high-quality Yuanshi from the Hehuan Sect...
However, before he could open his mouth to persuade him, Lu Ming frowned and said, "The total amount is less than 10 billion high-grade Yuanshi? It's a bit too little. I thought it would be at least over 10 billion."
Ji Haoyue's scalp suddenly went numb when the words came to his lips.
Oh shit!
Do you know what you are talking about?!
Billions of top-grade Yuanshi, and you think it's not enough? !
"this···"
The second elder scratched his head and said, "It is indeed a little."
Ji Haoyue: “???!”
Why are you here too, Second Elder???
"We estimated before that it should be over 10 billion, but later we found that the resources in the City Lord's Mansion were too few, including Yuanshi and magic weapons."
"So we think that it must be that Hongwu Sanxian has been recruiting soldiers and horses in recent years, absorbing 'talents' for Hongwu Immortal City, and providing massive subsidies to Hongwu Immortal Alliance, which has put all the profits of these years into it, so it did not reach the expected value."
Ji Haoyue: “…”
I see.
I thought you even felt that tens of billions of high-quality Yuanshi were not enough!
That’s more like it!
I almost thought that the world had gone so crazy and I was the only one standing still.
It's outrageous!
"It's just that, Chief Deacon, the people of the Hehuan Sect are now expressing their dissatisfaction outside, clamoring for us to return the property that belongs to the Hehuan Sect. What do you think?"
The second elder's paws felt numb.
Although Lu Ming had given instructions before, the other party was too powerful.
He didn't dare to make the decision on matters that would offend the Hehuan Sect.
"I'll go."
Lu Ming thought about it for a moment and decided to personally show up to resolve the matter.
······
"Hehe, elder, let the person in charge of your Haoyue lineage come out."
"Since you can't make the decision, then let's find someone who can make the decision. We sisters won't make things difficult for you, okay?"
"But, I have to say something ugly in advance. The wealth of our Hehuan Sect is not so easy to take. Aren't you afraid of digging your own grave by being so greedy?"
“···”
The three great men of the Hehuan Sect are here, and the fragrance can be smelled from a long distance away.
"Ah Qiu!"
As soon as Lu Ming entered the door, he couldn't help but sneeze, which made him doubt his life.
"Speaking of which..."
When the three looked at him, Lu Ming was thinking: "Before I traveled through time, I could often smell this strong fragrance in the elevator or when I was walking on the street."
"It doesn't feel like perfume, but it lasts a long time."
"So...what on earth did they put on their bodies?!"
Lu Ming, Ji Haoyue and the second elder entered one after another.
The three great men of the Hehuan Sect immediately laughed.
"Master Ji, you can come in person. This matter..."
“Don’t!”
Ji Haoyue waved his hands quickly and said, "This matter has nothing to do with me. Now, I am not a sect leader. I am just an idler who lives here temporarily."
"If you have any problems, just handle them yourself. Don't worry about me or pay attention to me."
Three people from the Hehuan Sect: “(⊙o⊙)···?!”
"Looking for this one."
The second elder quickly introduced: "Lu Ming, Chief Deacon Lu, now, all matters of my Haoyue lineage will be decided and handled by Chief Deacon Lu."
"Yes, if you have anything, just tell me." Lu Ming nodded lightly.
Seeing this, Ji Haoyue felt secretly happy.
Don't say it, don't say it!
Although I am not the sect leader now, and even the Haoyue Sect has ceased to exist, I feel really good to witness all this as a bystander.
At least, I don't have to worry about how to deal with this matter.
After all, the other party represents the Hehuan Sect, and if it is not handled properly, it will be troublesome.
But if I admit defeat, I would feel unhappy.
I always feel like no matter how I handle it, it's not right. If I put myself in that position, it would really be quite a headache.
But now~
Well, you don't have to use your brain at all, just watch and enjoy the show, how wonderful it is.
"But I want to see how you will handle it."
"After all, the other party is the Hehuan Sect. No matter how we deal with it, it can't be called perfect."
“···”
······
"Hello everyone, have you eaten?"
Under Ji Haoyue's gaze, Lu Ming happily greeted the people from the Hehuan Sect.
"Hey, Mr. Chief Steward, there's no need to try to get close to us." A great man from the Hehuan Sect chuckled, gently waved the round fan in his hand, and said in a gloomy tone: "Although you are good-looking, don't think you can get rid of us so easily."
"This is the wealth of our Hehuan Sect. Not a single cent can be lost."
"After all, this is the hard-earned money of the girls in the sect. We can't embezzle this money."
"What are you talking about!" Lu Ming frowned and said with a sullen face, "What's wrong with hard-earned money? So what if it's not hard-earned money? If it's not hard-earned money, will my Haoyue clan be greedy for it?"
"You are looking down on us!"
"Oh? Haha, that would be the best."
"What else?"
Lu Ming said righteously, "But then again, words are not enough. You can't just say how much it is. There must be evidence."
"Evidence? Of course there is. Every branch of our sect in Hehuan Building will reconcile their accounts every morning!"
"On the day of the incident, the accounts had just been reconciled and the building had not yet been opened, so not a single word would be missing."
"The total value is 23.47 million high-quality Yuanshi." The other party was well prepared and answered fluently.
"Oh, I see." Lu Ming suddenly realized, "There are both decimals and integers. It seems that what he said is true."
"Of course. We are here on behalf of the Hehuan Sect. Would we talk nonsense?"
They laughed, and another one said, "Master Deacon Lu, we don't know what the current situation of the Haoyue... lineage is like, but in my opinion, it is better to quit while we are ahead."
"After all, what we are talking about is only public property. We have not taken into account the private belongings of the three Hehuan Towers in Hongwu Immortal City. You have already made a lot of money."
"Are we that kind of people?" Lu Ming frowned. "I don't like to hear that."
"It's what it should be!"
"Just, there is a problem."
Lu Ming said calmly, "We found the three most valuable storage bags in Hehuan Tower, and the total value is only about 4 million high-quality Yuanshi."
"It is very different from the number you reported."
"so..."
"So what?"
"So, in my opinion, this is not your property!"
Lu Ming had an innocent look on his face, but a voice automatically matched in his mind.
Take it~! (End of this chapter)
