Zhongli Tingzhou looked at him teasingly, his eyes still cold.
He and Gao Han already knew about these people when they passed by the Birthday Hall. They thought they would just walk past them obediently, but they insisted on coming here to seek death. He was worried about having nothing to do.
"Do you think with just an apology you can erase the offense he committed against me?" Zhongli Tingzhou looked at them with a half-smile.
Lu Ming suddenly felt his scalp tighten and he felt an indescribable huge pressure. If he had guessed it earlier, this would not have happened.
"Isn't the Immortal Lord punishing him right now? We are envoys from the Sirius system. Please show some mercy."
"It's not impossible for me to show mercy, but you have to give me some money to buy your life." Zhongli Tingzhou said with a smile.
Lu Ming's face darkened. He knew that this matter would not end well after hearing this. "What does the Immortal want to buy his life for?"
"Then it depends on you guys, whether you can come up with enough money to buy my life that satisfies me." Zhongli Tingzhou said with a laugh.
Ji Sen's face turned red, and he seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't. The only part of his body that could move was his brain.
Lu Ming took a deep breath. This person was very powerful and probably would not be interested in ordinary things. "You might as well just tell us what you want, otherwise we won't know what you need."
"Your stuff? This Immortal really doesn't care about it. I let you take it yourselves just to test your sincerity. It seems that it's nothing more than that."
Lu Ming's heart tightened, and he thought he was going to be sentenced to death, when Zhongli Tingzhou suddenly spoke again.
"Leave the materials on your warship as his life-saving money." Zhongli Tingzhou glanced at Ji Sen, who was ignorant of the world, and the sarcasm in his eyes was very obvious.
Lu Ming was shocked, not because the other party wanted all their materials, but the materials on the warship. Some important materials were obtained by them on the way here.
Did this person say this deliberately because he knew what materials were on the warship? Or was it just an accident?
"Master, we have no say over those materials. They are..."
"In that case, then let's spare this man's life. In your Wolfdog Galaxy, it won't be a pity to kill the weak who offend the strong." Zhongli Tingzhou smiled.
Ji Sen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, blood began to flow from all his orifices, and his whole body trembled.
"Wait, I agree." Lu Ming hurriedly stopped him and didn't even bother to correct the word wolfdog.
After he finished speaking, Ji Sen staggered to the ground, his eyes rolled up, and he seemed to have lost consciousness.
Lu Ming was relieved when he was sure that he was not dead. Ji Sen's value was not as high as that ship of materials, but this time he really lost both the wife and the army. He was also wrong. When he found something wrong, he should have stopped Ji Sen earlier.
"Go tell your king to ask them to move materials from the warships in the Wolfdog Galaxy. If they dare to cheat, come to me at any time." Zhongli Tingzhou said this and left the corridor.
"Yes, Immortal Lord." The captain of the guards felt happier than ever. Seeing this group of arrogant envoys, he felt extremely happy as if eggplants were hit by frost. They didn't listen to what he said, and now he is suffering.
"Three messengers, please come in." The captain of the guards withdrew his thoughts and said to Lu Ming and Kong Xian without even looking at Ji Sen.
Although these people have been hit so hard that they dare not act arrogantly anymore, he is not an immortal and he will still observe the necessary etiquette to avoid being caught in the wrong situation.
Lu Ming helped Ji Sen up and followed him silently to the next-level Baoya Hall.
"It's like bandits passing through the border. You scared them." Gao Han watched the whole process. He felt a little sympathetic when he ran into the drama queen's gun. He estimated that it would leave a trauma for him in the future and would affect his progress in cultivation.
"They are so eager to send me things. If I don't go along with it, how can I be worthy of the ancestors of the Zhongli family?" Zhongli Tingzhou raised the corner of his mouth.
"Then why do you want so much material?" They don't need that much.
Zhongli Tingzhou said lazily: "Don't you want to increase your faith? If you give these materials to the Nitin Empire, you will definitely be able to increase your faith by a large amount."
Gao Han guessed that he did it for him, and a warm feeling flowed through his heart, "I have offended the envoy of the Sirius system this time, I am afraid that this matter will be hated."
"Remember it then. I was originally planning to find out the whereabouts of the Heavenly Cult."
Gao Han shook his head and said, "Forget it. What if they are members of the Heavenly Sect? If we alert them, it will be even harder to find them in the future."
"That's why I had to settle for the second best and asked for their materials." Zhongli Tingzhou shrugged.
Gao Han laughed, "They would probably prefer you to ask about the Tianjiao."
The captain of the guards sent Lu Ming and the other two to Baoya Hall, then hurried back to report, telling His Majesty and Minister Cheng and others everything that had happened at the gate of Huadan Hall.
"Zhongli Immortal is really strong. Ji Sen was crushed without any resistance. His companions even promised to give us the materials on the warship as compensation."
"Your Majesty, we must work harder to serve the two immortals in the future." Cheng Wen said to the king after some thought.
"That's natural. With two immortals here, there's no doubt that the Liuhuo Galaxy will rise. Not only the Sirius Galaxy, but other galaxies have always looked down on us." The king laughed and was very satisfied with this.
"Of course we have to rely on you. If I'm not mistaken, the two immortals asked for so many materials this time, and I'm afraid some of them are for us."
"How can Minister Cheng be sure that the materials are for us?" the king wondered.
"The two Immortals should not have much demand for those materials. They suddenly asked for so many materials, so it is very likely that they will give them to us. Only in this way will we work harder for Immortal Gao."
Ever since knowing Gao Han's purpose, Cheng Wen figured out that everything they did for the Nitin Empire was all for their faith.
In order to prevent the Sirius people from going back on their word, the king sent people to Baoya Palace several times to urge them and ask when the materials could be moved.
Lu Ming asked Kong Xian to take care of Ji Sen, and took them upstairs to move the materials the next day.
Watching the boxes of materials on the warship being carried away, Lu Ming simply decided to turn a blind eye. He wouldn't feel heartbroken if he didn't see it.
If they had known this day would come, they would not have deliberately parked the giant battleship over Galan Star that day, and maybe that man would not have asked for materials.
No matter how much you regret now, you can't turn back time. No matter how bitter your tears are, you can only swallow them back yourself.
In less than half a day, all the materials on the battleship were moved away, and there was indeed nothing left. Only then did the Nitin Empire's spacecraft leave.
He came with a full load, but all the hard work disappeared in just one day. If Lu Ming had not been mentally strong and intimidated by Zhongli Tingzhou, he would probably have gone crazy by now.
He dragged his heavy steps back to Baoya Hall. As soon as he entered the door, Ji Sen, who had recovered most of his strength, came to ask him.
"how's it going?"
Lu Ming's face was gloomy. "What else can I do? Of course they were all emptied."
Ji Sen angrily punched the table top on his body. How dare they? People from the Nitin Empire actually dared to take away all the things that belonged to them.
"Where are those things?" Kong Xian asked.
"Still there." Lu Ming could only comfort himself in this way. Fortunately, they still had some stored in the space, otherwise, with the way those people from the Nitin Empire were passing through like a swarm of locusts, he would probably not be able to keep them.
"Sooner or later I will make him pay for the humiliation I suffered yesterday!" Ji Sen swore angrily.
"You should change your temper. If you hadn't been so impulsive this time, you wouldn't have been caught." Lu Ming touched his face.
Ji Sen was a little embarrassed by his accusation, "How could I know that such a small Nitin Empire could have hidden dragons and crouching tigers."
"It is precisely because we don't know the situation that we can't act rashly. How do we know there will always be someone better than us?" Lu Ming said angrily.
"Then why didn't you stop me at that time?" Ji Sen asked angrily.
Lu Ming got angry when he heard this, "Are you a three-year-old child? Do you need me to change your poop and pee every time?"
Ji Sen wanted to say something, but Kong Xian glared at him, "It's your own fault, don't blame it on others. None of us expected this, but in the final analysis, you were too impulsive at the time."
Seeing that he was speechless, Lu Ming felt a little better.
On the other side, with the combined efforts of craftsmen from all over the empire, Gao Han's statue was finally carved. Two days later in the morning, the captain of the guards was ordered to invite the two men to watch.
When they arrived at the former banquet hall, their eyes were immediately drawn to the five-meter-tall statue in the center covered with a large red cloth.
The king was already standing next to the statue, ordering the craftsmen to process some things nearby. He was probably the first king in history to achieve this.
"Master, you are here." When the king saw them, he immediately came forward with a smile.
"Is the statue finished so quickly?" Gao Han thought it would take at least a month.
"It's ready. I recruited all the skilled craftsmen. They are responsible for one part, and it only takes a few days. How could the statue that Immortal Gao wants take so long?" The king's expression was extremely flattering.
The batch of materials two days ago was indeed given to them by the immortals as Minister Cheng said. With those materials, they can also manufacture alien star stone mechas, warships and spaceships, but they don’t have much energy.
From this, we can see what the messengers from the Sirius system are planning. They just want to ask them for energy when they return.
"Lift it up and let me see." Gao Han said.
The king immediately ordered the red cloth to be removed, and a huge statue revealed its true appearance to them.
The Star-Shining Brilliant Stone is not a black stone, but a white mineral with many sparkling spots. This mineral can emit light at night, so the king specially ordered people to turn off the lights.
The portrait carved from the star-shining brilliant stone suddenly burst into brilliant light. The hall that held a thousand people was instantly enveloped in a layer of faint light, exuding a sacred and inviolable aura.
"Master Gao, what do you think? Are you satisfied?" asked the king.
"Satisfied." A flash of shame passed through Gao Han's heart, but he soon calmed down. He raised his hand, suddenly made a few gestures, and shone some light into the statue.
