"I need to get a pass to the Holy Mountain. If you help me get it, I will give you this kind of elixir as a magic crystal from now on."
"Eat it as... a magic crystal?"
Ross swallowed hard. "This is a joke, right?" This is a Demon Pill, a high-level demonic elixir. One pill can exempt one from a year of magic crystal training.
But the bottle Ling Tian gave him contained at least a hundred pills, which was their family's ten-year share.
"Sir, I will definitely help you get the pass."
The relationship between the two has changed. Ross completely regards Ling Tian as the top aristocrat. This is his opportunity, and if he seizes it, he will soar to the sky.
Ross expressed his loyalty and then swore the Demon Soul Oath. Ling Tian was very satisfied and gave him a bottle of Demon Luo Dan. He said, "Very good. Since you are my man, I will not treat you unfairly. Find a secluded place to break through the realm and gain sufficient influence in the family. Otherwise, you, a small mayor, will not be able to obtain this official document smoothly."
Ross laughed a few times, a bit embarrassed. It was indeed as Ling Tian had said. His influence in the family was minimal, though if he could ask his father for help, there might be a chance. But that was no longer necessary. With these two bottles of Mo Luo Dan, he could quickly break through to the late Demon King stage, perhaps even reaching the Great Perfection stage. If that happened, he would be even more powerful than his father, and his authority would be greatly increased.
"Don't make it public. After all, these pills are prohibited from sale. If people knew you had them, there would be disasters. Also, our future meetings will be the same as before. I'm just the village chief."
"Also, I won't be staying here for long in the future, so I need you to take care of Damolo Village."
"I understand."
After Ling Tian left, Ross immediately summoned the other nine village heads and issued a decree that all villages must live together in the town. This was Ling Tian's request for him to do so. As long as the people are concentrated, the income brought by the gathering place of tens of millions of demons will increase by dozens of times. This is also Ling Tian's big plan. He now wants to break through to the God Transformation and reach the Fusion. This leap requires trillions of high-quality spirit stones. Without huge means of making money, it is estimated that it will take thousands of years to improve.
Another reason is that he needs Ross to increase the family's voice so that he can grow higher-level spiritual medicines in his territory here. The Demon Realm has extremely strong protection regulations. The town level can only grow spiritual medicines and plants of level five or six, and level seven or eight can only be upgraded to the city level.
"We're finally taking this step. I hope nothing goes wrong."
Ling Tian was also worried. Taking this step meant that his risk of exposure would increase. He had originally planned to develop step by step, but as the Earth's 100-year protection period was getting closer and closer, he always felt uneasy. He needed to improve his realm quickly, but the income he obtained through existing channels was not enough to support his current realm, so he took the risk and found Ross.
Fortunately, everything went as planned and no accidents occurred.
In the blink of an eye, the fifty-year safety period has passed, and Ross has turned this place into an independent city. The strength of the late Demon King allows him to firmly hold the position of mayor, and his drastic measures have expanded the entire city dozens of times, enough to accommodate the horror of hundreds of millions of demons. Even the continent controlled by their family is only to this extent, but the number of demons now is only tens of millions. To reach the scale of hundreds of millions, it needs to be attractive enough, but this is just a piece of cake for Ling Tian.
After several grand auctions, the popularity suddenly increased. Many demons saw the business opportunities and moved here immediately. The number is slowly increasing, which is a very good momentum.
However, the strong momentum also aroused the envy of many people in the Luohou tribe, and they proposed to take back Ross's territory.
"Chief, this Ross is a bit arrogant. Is he trying to replace our continent, or is he trying to become an independent continent?"
This was a bit hurtful, but no one present spoke out about it. It was obvious that everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie.
"Then what plans do you have to immediately remove him from office? The new mayor has a hundred-year protection period. Tell us how to solve this problem."
As soon as the old demon said this, the scene immediately fell silent. They really had no way to deal with this. They could neither kill him nor fire him.
"Chief, didn't he apply for a permit recently? I think he's quite anxious."
"You mean to use this to bring him into submission?"
A few days later, Ross was furious. These ungrateful people in the family were not satisfied with the extra tens of billions of magic crystals they provided every year, and now they wanted him to give up his position voluntarily.
"You have such a big appetite, aren't you afraid of dying of overeating? The master's strength is the Great Perfection of the Demonic Evil, and he is only one step away from being a Demon Lord. If you dare to attack Katongwen, I will show you how you will die, humph!"
Now Ross is Ling Tian's loyal supporter, and his powerful strength has deeply impressed him.
Soon the news reached Ling Tian's ears. He had expected this day a long time ago, so naturally he was not too upset.
"It's time to go, haha!"
On this day, an uninvited guest arrived at the palace of the Rāhu clan without any warning. A large isolation formation enveloped the entire palace, and not a single breath of air leaked out.
Ling Tian did not kill indiscriminately, but the release of the terrifying aura had already made them all kneel on the ground.
"Ross is my agent, and from now on the Rahu clan will respect him."
Ling Tian came and went quickly, and the Luohou people who were still kneeling on the ground seemed to be in a dream, unwilling to accept this reality.
"Chief, what should we do?"
"You've all felt the opponent's strength, right? He's at the Demonic Realm. If he wants to kill us, all he needs to do is flick his finger. But just because he hasn't made a move doesn't mean he won't kill us. The top-level rules don't have much restraint on the strong. No wonder Ross has improved so quickly. This might also be an opportunity."
"Pass the word down. Starting tomorrow, Ross will be the head of the Luohou clan."
It can be seen that Patriarch Luohou has a long-term vision, and joining the top family may be this opportunity.
The next day, Ross excitedly handed the new mayor's letter to Ling Tian. He knew that all this must be Ling Tian's trick.
The next day, Ling Tian explained everything to Ross and gave him a few bottles of Moluodan before he embarked on a journey to the Holy Demon Mountain. With the new mayor's pass, he would be qualified for the Holy Mountain's Centennial Competition, which would be held in two years.
The journey to the Holy Mountain is extremely long, so Ling Tian went back to the Dark Abyss and brought the Golden-winged Peng Eagle in. After eating his exclusive Demonic Sun Pill, it has become a demon beast. Xiao Jin is already at level twelve and is as fast as lightning.
