Ding Ruohai stared at Youquan with a face full of resentment. His body was no longer under his control, and he felt colder and colder. In the end, he died with his eyes open in disbelief!
"I only stole your business, what's wrong with you? You're so petty, who are you cursing with those eyes? What bad luck!"
With a wave of his hand, Youquan turned Ding Ruohai's corpse into ashes, leaving not a single hair behind.
With another flick of his finger, he wiped out those henchmen, and the matter of the demonic path was finally resolved.
No! Not yet! Youquan looked at Mu Ying, who was already kneeling on the ground.
"Lord Mu Ying, what do you think I should do with you?"
Mu Ying kowtowed repeatedly, weeping as he said, "Master Youquan is wise and mighty, like a demon god descending. Your power and wisdom fill me with deep respect. No one in the world can compare to you. Seeing your battle, I know what true strength is. My admiration for you is like a surging river, never-ending."
"Only a strong person like you can achieve great things. Your strength has transcended the realm of mortals. We can only look up to you."
"Compared to you, I am but an insignificant ant. Your heroic figure makes heaven and earth pale in comparison, and your deeds will be praised by the world for eternity..."
Mu Ying spoke in a series of interconnected sentences, as if she had been practicing for a long time, her words flowing exceptionally smoothly.
"Get up. You are now the fourth protector of my Blood Demon Cult."
"It is my honor to serve under your command."
"You're quite the flatterer. If you perform well, I might take you to teach some eunuch how to flatter. That would be a stroke of luck for you."
After speaking, he summoned the three great protectors and gave them ten strands of demonic energy to protect them. He ordered them and Mu Ying to wipe out all the disobedient members of the eight major sects and confiscate their property.
Pang Ban revealed himself and walked into the ruined Blood Demon Cult's main hall with You Quan.
"Sigh, rebuilding the Blood Demon Sect will cost a lot of money."
Youquan was in pain. He had given all the silver he had obtained to Meng Fan, not a single penny of it. Where would he find the money to repair the palace?
"Hahaha, don't forget that those major sects are all leaderless now. Let's just move there and rob them while we're at it."
Pang Ban tried to comfort him, saying that he also had no money and was worried about how to get some.
But Pang Ban's words opened up a new avenue for Youquan's thinking.
"Yeah, why don't we go to the Northern Desert Empire and find Huangpu Yun? We helped the Northern Desert Empire solve a big problem, and they've made a fortune recently. Shouldn't they give us some compensation for our hard work?"
“That Huangpu Yun offended you, young master. Although ignorance is no excuse and he has already offered compensation, we are your trusted confidants. We believe that a subject should die for his master's honor. How can we let him off so easily?”
Youquan was satisfied with Pang Ban's reasoning and replied, "You're right. The Northern Desert Court may spare you from the death penalty, but you can't escape punishment. Let's go now."
The two men's eyes lit up when they mentioned silver; they had witnessed its benefits firsthand. With enough silver, soaring to great heights was no dream at all!
This also led to the fact that the disciples of the Demon God Temple after the merger of the Demon Master's Palace and the Blood Demon Sect all took it upon themselves to plunder money, and did so with great enthusiasm!
These are all things for later; right now, Huangpu Yun is watching Youquan and Pang Ban with bated breath.
"Seniors, I am very grateful to you for eliminating Ding Ruohai, but our Northern Mohe court really doesn't have ten billion taels of silver!" Huangpu Yun said while wiping his sweat.
These two men introduced themselves as Meng Fan's confidants and went straight to the point, asking for a "service fee" because they had helped him eliminate the demonic forces that were trying to attack him.
Although Huangpu Yun did not know who Meng Fan was, he knew that the two were talking about that ethereal figure, someone even Jiang Mu had to treat with respect.
This wouldn't have been a problem in itself, and Huangpu Yun was indeed willing to give it up. After all, if it weren't for Youquan, who knows how much more their Mobei Empire would have lost.
But these two people asked for 1 billion, which is less than 1 billion even if he were sold off. This really stumped him!
"Your Northern Desert Empire is the largest empire, and you've seized a lot of Hengtong Bank's assets. How could you not even be able to come up with a billion? Are you trying to trick me?"
Youquan and his companion weren't quite sure how much one billion was. To them, it was probably just a number. After all, having seized Hengtong Bank, they had seen plenty of big deals and wouldn't even consider a small amount.
"Seniors, most of what I confiscated from Hengtong Bank were treasures. It will take time to convert these treasures into cash, but the total value is far less than one billion."
"If you two seniors don't believe me, you can go and examine the treasures of my imperial court. If I have uttered even the slightest falsehood, you may punish me as you see fit."
Both of them were highly skilled cultivators, and they could tell whether Huangpu Yun was lying or not.
Youquan said somewhat unwillingly, "I previously confiscated about 3 billion taels of silver from Hengtong Bank. It is indeed difficult for you to come up with 1 billion taels of silver. However, we lost many brothers in this incident, and my sect was destroyed. Moreover, it also involved Zhou Yuansheng, a high-ranking member of the Taiyi Sect. I fought Zhou Yuansheng for three days and three nights, and only managed to force him to retreat despite being seriously injured. In the future, we may have to face retaliation from the Taiyi Sect at any time. What do you suggest we do?"
Youquan knew that Huangpu Yun really couldn't come up with the money, so he threw the question at him. As for what to say, it was up to him. Youquan's skin had become incredibly thick for money, and he could tell lies with great conviction.
Seeing that Youquan was speaking with great conviction and that Pang Ban beside him still looked like he had just experienced a great battle and was still shaken, Huangpu Yun immediately realized that he couldn't get rid of the two without drawing blood. So, he quickly came up with an idea.
"Seniors, I have an idea, but I'm not sure if I should say it."
