The Golden Wheel Dharma King lay on the ground, suffering immense pain!
Huo Du, that little bastard, lost both his hands and was promoted to eunuch!
Darba was trembling with fear and hurriedly kowtowed.
"Alliance Leader Li, spare my life! Alliance Leader Li, spare my life!"
More than a hundred Mongolian warriors also knelt down and begged Li Huan for mercy.
Li Huan knew that although Darba was the disciple of the Golden Wheel Dharma King, he was not a vicious person. On the contrary, he respected his teacher and was relatively honest and straightforward.
"Dalba!" Li Huan deliberately glared at Darba. "If you want to live, you must promise me one thing!"
Darba hurriedly replied, "Please give your orders, Leader Li, and I will certainly do it!"
Li Huan said, "From today onwards, you will serve Zhou Botong as his servant and accompany him back to the Mongolian grasslands!"
Darba was stunned, thinking he had misheard: "This...this matter is far too simple..."
Li Huan suppressed a laugh and said in a serious tone.
"It seems simple, but it's actually complicated! You're always by Zhou Botong's side on the Mongolian grasslands, not only taking care of his food and daily life, but also supervising Huo Du so that he can drive a hundred fine horses to pull a large carriage for Zhou Botong to play to his heart's content!"
Darba understood, his face lit up with joy, and he quickly kowtowed in agreement.
Zhou Botong clapped his hands and praised, "Li Huan, you're so considerate of me! The Mongolian grasslands are vast and sparsely populated, it's easy to get lost. With Darba by my side, I can travel with peace of mind! Hahaha..."
"Junior brother! Junior brother!"
Huo Du shouted at the top of his lungs, "The antidote is in my arms! Quickly, give me the antidote!"
Darba immediately stood up, walked to Huodu, took a bottle of antidote from his pocket, and poured out the pills.
Li Huan said to Zhou Botong, "Old rascal, Huo Du is in your hands now. If he dares to lie to you, you can do whatever you want with him!"
Zhou Botong said with a grin, "Could you teach me how to make a 'Life and Death Talisman'?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Du shuddered.
Li Huan said in a serious tone, "If you want to refine the 'Life and Death Talisman,' you must first learn the unique skill of the Lingjiu Palace in the Tianshan Mountains of the Western Regions. It will take at least two years of effort and the process is extremely complicated. You definitely don't have the patience!"
"Two years?" Zhou Botong exclaimed in astonishment.
Li Huan said in a serious tone, "I strongly suggest that you use the 'Love Flower Poison Pill' to threaten and control Huo Du!"
Zhou Botong tilted his head and thought for a moment, then grinned and said, "This idea is not bad either, it's quite simple!"
Li Huan immediately ordered, "Gongsun Zhi! After returning to Xiangyang, give Zhou Botong ten 'Love Flower Poison Pills' and ten 'Antidote Pills'!"
Gongsun Zhi hurriedly clasped his hands in a fist and bow: "Yes, sir!"
Pfft! Huang Rong and Li Fu burst out laughing at the same time.
Little Dragon Girl covered her mouth and laughed.
Li Fu said, "Father, your idea is brilliant! If Huo Du eats a 'Love Flower Poison Pill,' he will suffer from the poison of the Love Flower! To cure the poison, he must take an 'Antidote Pill,' and have the Old Urchin use his internal energy to seal his heart meridian. Huo Du will never dare to disobey the Old Urchin's orders again!"
Zhou Botong shook his head and exclaimed, "Interesting, very interesting!"
Huo Du was deathly pale, looking utterly hopeless.
Li Huan knew that, given Zhou Botong's personality, he would eventually kill Huo Du by using the "Love Flower Poison Pill" and the "Antidote Pill".
Huang Rong composed herself and announced loudly.
"Heroes! The martial arts competition of this year's 'Huashan Culinary Tournament' has come to an end!"
"Li Meng's main force has defeated a powerful enemy; his martial arts are unparalleled in the world, and he is the one everyone hopes to achieve!"
"Next, I urge all heroes to generously donate and purchase boxed meals!"
The crowd cheered and quickly surrounded the electric tricycle.
"Line up! Line up!" Huang Rong hurriedly ordered.
Li Huan leaped up and landed gracefully next to the electric tricycle, then reached out and lifted the food buckets one by one.
The eight dishes were visually appealing and had an enticing aroma.
"Each boxed meal costs one hundred taels of silver and comes with a free bottle of chilled cola!"
Li Huan's announcement of the boxed lunch prices sparked cheers once again.
Compared to Huo Du spending 10,000 taels of silver to buy a boxed meal, everyone felt that the price of 100 taels of silver was very reasonable!
Li Huan announced loudly, "I previously promised that I would donate 500,000 taels of silver from the profits earned from selling boxed lunches to support Xiangyang City at this year's Huashan Sword Tournament Food Festival!"
"Now, I solemnly announce that I will allocate another 500,000 taels of silver to reward the heroes who defended Xiangyang City!"
The scene erupted in cheers, with everyone excitedly applauding.
Li Huan received a total of twenty boxes of jewelry, worth more than two million taels of silver.
He has completed the task assigned by the system, taking out ten boxes of jewelry to support Xiangyang and reward the heroes who defended the city. This will enhance the prestige of the martial arts alliance leader and make him appear even more illustrious.
Yang Guo hurriedly asked, "Uncle Li, how will this 500,000 taels of silver be rewarded?"
Li Huan said, "Let's establish a 'Heroes' List' to reward those who have made contributions!"
Hero Ranking?
Everyone was in high spirits.
Li Huan explained, "On the 'Heroes' List,' the top ten heroes are ranked according to the number of enemies they kill! They will share 500,000 taels of silver!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started discussing it.
"Alliance Leader Li is brilliant! Your idea is superb!"
"Ten heroes will share 500,000 taels of silver. How much silver should the hero ranked first receive?"
"In my opinion, the bounty for the first hero should be no less than fifty thousand!"
"Fifty thousand is too little, it should be one hundred thousand!"
"The first place will be rewarded with 100,000; the second place with 80,000; and the third place with 60,000!"
...
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, engaging in a lively discussion.
Li Huan raised his hand to signal, and the scene immediately fell silent.
"Everyone, please don't rush. The matter of rewarding merits according to the 'Heroes' List' will be discussed and decided by Alliance Leader Huang and Vice Alliance Leader Yang, and will be announced at a later date!"
"I can guarantee that the three heroes who kill the most enemies will receive a bounty of no less than two hundred thousand!"
