Chapter 133 Dong Jun is confident this time, having made a fortune without any investment.
Just like his master, Dongjun quickly vanished in a flash.
He's become numb.
Once he descended into this astral realm, everything he encountered constantly overturned Dongjun's perception of his smooth-sailing life and his past.
Dongjun ran straight out of the city; he needed to use the Silver Net to calm down.
Let's delve deeper into the story of Bitao, thoroughly understand her way of doing things, and what she values most!
To prevent such an embarrassing situation from happening again in the future.
And he was determined, absolutely determined to get rid of her, this "lustful demon" who was even more shrewish than a monster, from his brother's side!
Not only did his foolish younger brother give all his subordinates to her, but Dongjun also thought that Bitao was much better at winning people's hearts than his stupid younger brother.
Now everyone in the inn regards her as their master, and even Yun Chuan, the descendant of the Martial God of the Ministry of War, seems to have no objections.
Why would she need to protect herself?
Why would a mother need to personally seek him out for protection?
Dongjun stormed off the field, found a secluded spot by a wall, sat down cross-legged, and then entered the Silver River Net.
Before long, Shangyuan Shenzhen also followed, opened a barrier around Dongjun, and then said to him, "Disciple, release him outside."
He wants to see it too.
Dongjun now harbors a great deal of resentment towards the source god.
He couldn't help but turn around and say, "Why didn't Master stop me just now?!"
Shangyuan Shenzhen looked completely innocent: "I am old and unable to activate my spiritual energy, so how can I possibly compete with my disciple who is young and strong?"
Like an old ox plowing the field.
Moreover, the Upper Source God truly "couldn't hold on."
Dongjun felt that his master was also starting to act strangely in this star realm.
However, he didn't have time to dwell on that now. Dongjun opened the Silver Han Net and once again traced the past of the Peach Blossom Competition.
Last time it was just a quick glance, but this time Dongjun sat cross-legged on the ground, carefully watching every scene that flashed by.
He absolutely had to find out the fatal flaw in that peach!
At this moment, Bitao was unaware that Dongjun was trying to exploit her weaknesses.
She... was paying for the damage to someone's door latch.
Fortunately, in this Fallen City, Dongjun, this brute force bull who is just as strong as Mingguang, couldn't use his spiritual energy. Otherwise, given his strength just now, he would have kicked the entire door and its frame off.
After paying off the debts, Bitao and Mingguang looked at each other, both of them having some guesses about Dongjun's sudden appearance.
However, they couldn't discuss these things in front of Yin Han Gu, nor could they keep "indulging in lewdness in broad daylight," so they made Yin Han Gu stop releasing the animals.
They could only suppress their desire to communicate and instead get together to exchange pleasantries.
After being instructed by Bitao, Han Shang acted very quickly.
He had already led several teams of people to the city.
Some went to make purchases, while others went to find immortal positions willing to "risk their lives." Han Shang personally led a few people into the Immortal Alliance.
Go talk to their manager.
The Immortal Alliance is even more impressive than the garrison government office in Luofan City, occupying a prime location in the city, a quiet oasis amidst the hustle and bustle.
After entering the magnificent gate, the interior features small bridges, flowing water, bamboo paths, and pine-covered huts, creating a serene and secluded atmosphere reminiscent of a hermit's retreat from the world.
However, once Han Shang and his entourage were treated as honored guests and began discussing business over a cup of tea, their pretentious and aloof demeanor crumbled.
Those who spend their lives among the powerful and wealthy, mingling in various circles of fame and fortune, engaging in petty scheming and selling their lives, are only after the money and material possessions they earn in this mortal world. No matter how they try to disguise themselves, they cannot hide their mercenary nature.
"You said your new master wants three hundred elites from the Immortal Alliance to escort you to the Ascension Ceremony."
"You think you can trade these few immortal pearls for my three hundred elite troops?"
The manager of this Immortal Alliance was named Yang Yao. He was handsome and dashing. Even though he was a celestial being in the heavens and had been banished to the mortal realm, he was not ugly.
However, he had lived in the mortal realm for too long. Even though the immortal pearl within him had been recovered, maintaining his youthful appearance and physical vitality, it was still difficult to suppress the decay and turbidity emanating from his soul.
He stared at Han Shang with cloudy eyes, his wolf-like gaze scrutinizing him, his fingers tapping the table with intense pressure.
One moment, one moment.
He wanted to see Han Shang utterly defeated by his imposing presence.
Han Shang picked up his teacup, sipped his tea, and remained unmoved by his subtle coercion.
The meaning is clear—take it or leave it with these immortal pearls.
Yang Yao's lips twitched slightly, and his eyes slowly narrowed.
Yangyao originally meant "the noble sun".
Such a name can only be used by the Golden Crow clan in the Heavenly Realm, but Yang Yao was banished to this mortal world and, after several brushes with death, personally founded the Immortal Alliance.
He now calls himself the "ruler of the immortal realm," or at least the ruler of the immortal realm who has lost the immortal pearl.
Therefore, he changed his name to one that was "worthy of his identity".
He considered himself the sun of this group of immortals; without his "light," many of them would only have fallen into an even more terrible hell.
This wasn't the first time Yang Yao had met Han Shang.
Han merchants have also fallen into this place several times, becoming goods to be sold and traded.
In fact, Yang Yao did have some appreciation for his talent and had tried to recruit Han Shang as his subordinate.
Unfortunately, Han Shang preferred to be sold and suffer humiliation in the hands of mortals rather than collude with these people to become executioners who exploit and oppress immortals.
"I have heard about your master this time."
“A few days ago, Shuying and her people from the Immortal Hunting Group in the city were all killed. They also went into the city to search for those who had escaped, causing quite a commotion.”
"Do you really think a master who is so ruthless as to risk incurring karma to slaughter immortals would treat you sincerely?"
Yang Yao stared at the few crystal beads on the table, which resembled the glass beads that noble children in the mortal world played with, and his cloudy eyes rolled for a moment.
He said to Han Shang, "Why don't you cooperate with me and lure your ruthless master, who will surely suffer the consequences of karma, to my place?"
"I guarantee that after this is done, I will personally write a letter recommending you to take up a position in Xu Xingshen's Nine Heavens Palace."
“Every year, people are chosen to ascend to heaven from the Nine Heavens Palace. You should know that it is the only way to return to heaven.”
"How about it?"
Yang Yao looked at Han Shang and said, "This isn't the first time you've been betrayed. Since your master is a ruthless killer, it's only natural that you betray him."
"Aren't you always kind-hearted?"
Yang Yao recalled how Han Shang had once fallen into the hands of a nobleman who "liked to torture people," and had risked his life to save a mortal woman from death.
There were many people like Han Shang in Luofan City at the beginning.
There are also many in the realm of immortals.
But as time went by, hundreds of years passed...
Yang Yao was momentarily dazed, unable to recall how long it had been since he had seen someone still willing to shoulder the "responsibility of an immortal" to protect all living beings.
Nowadays, people like Han Shang only make Yang Yao feel that they are glaring, abrupt, ridiculous, and pathetic.
Han Shang remained expressionless, clearly unmoved by Yang Yao's attempts to seduce him.
He talked on and on, but refused to agree to the three hundred elite troops.
After setting down the teacup, he directly put away the fairy pearl on the table.
I held it in my hand, fiddled with it for a bit, and it made a crisp, clinking sound.
Then, he cupped his hands to Yang Yao and said, "Since the Immortal Lord has no intention of cooperating, we will take our leave now."
The forces stationed in this Fallen City are far more than just the Immortal Alliance.
Other smaller factions, even with just one or two immortal pearls, would fight desperately with all their might.
However, those people are easily swayed by "weak power" and will rebel at the slightest danger. They are not easy to control and are like "fence-sitters".
Han Shang will definitely use the shortest time to create a disciplined celestial army for Fairy Bitao.
I will not let her trust and the life-saving grace go to waste.
It did not betray her compassionate heart, which was out of place in this celestial purgatory.
When Yang Yao saw Han Shang stand up, his handsome face, which was wearing a fake smile, suddenly turned gloomy, like dark clouds pressing down on the city.
His subordinates standing beside him immediately stepped forward and blocked Han Shang at the door.
The long sword was crossed in front of Han Shang's neck.
Han Shang remained unfazed.
He turned to look at Yang Yao: "What does the Immortal Lord mean by this?"
One of Yang Yao's two henchmen, who were blocking Han Shang's way, said menacingly: "You can leave if you want, but leave the Immortal Pearl behind!"
Han Shang smiled in Yang Yao's direction, then fiddled with the immortal pearl in his hand for a moment.
He pointed towards Yang Yao and said, "Here you go."
Yang Yao's men were about to take it.
Han Shang added, "However, these immortal pearls... were dug out of the immortal seat of Shu Ying from the Immortal Hunting Group by my master."
Han Shang said in a gentle tone, "My master and his wife were walking peacefully on the road when Shu Ying caught them and wanted to dig out the Immortal Pearl."
“My master’s wife was injured, and in a fit of rage, he killed them all.”
“Immortal Lord Yangyao is right, my master has indeed been affected by the backlash of karma.”
"But it didn't backfire because of killing Shuying and the others; it backfired much earlier."
Han Shang's unspoken message was that their master had long been a ruthless killer.
"The backlash is a thing." Han Shang handed the bead to the person who stopped him, looked directly at him and said, "Killing one immortal will cause a backlash, killing ten will also cause a backlash, killing a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand... it's all the same."
The immortal pearl was handed to him, and Yang Yao instinctively reached out his hand.
"Clang clang clang..." Han Shang released his grip from above, and some of the immortal beads fell into that person's hand, while others fell directly to the ground.
By this point, everyone in the room had changed their expressions.
Yang Yao's eyes narrowed into slits.
He chuckled and said, "What kind of madmen haven't I seen over the years?"
"After the immortal position is afflicted by karma, one becomes a mortal."
"A mortal, once he leaves Luofan City, no matter how capable he is, is nothing more than a villainous good-for-nothing who everyone can kill."
Han Shang also smiled.
Her smile was elegant and charming.
He said, "My master's supporters are all die-hards. If the immortal lord does not believe me, he is welcome to try."
Han Shang was not lying.
In their ranks, at least those who were rescued by Fairy Bitao were all willing to fight to the death for her.
With a spare immortal pearl to prolong their lives, and even if there is a real karmic backlash, they can exchange it for an immortal body. What's more... their friends and acquaintances have now also been recruited into the team.
Moreover, Yang Yao clearly believed that Han Shang's master was the husband of Fairy Bitao, who had wiped out the Shuying Immortal Hunting Group.
Han Shang deliberately did not correct it.
He remains kind-hearted.
However, he was also endowed with indifference and cruelty by this world.
If we really anger the leader of the Immortal Alliance today, he will stop at nothing to kill Han Shang's master.
Then let's go kill the husband of the Fairy of the Peach Blossom.
Yang Yao is not afraid of any small forces rising up, nor is he afraid of the immortal pearls he obtained after selling his immortal position and seeking revenge.
He had been entrenched in this mortal city for many years, wielding great power and influence. He had connections with powerful nobles and royalty, and held a prominent position in the mortal world, wielding considerable influence and power.
Even in the Nine Heavens Palace, his words carried considerable weight.
But what he fears most are people who don't follow the rules, who aren't afraid of the consequences, and who break all conventions.
He called such people "black sheep".
Even though the new master of Han Shang is a black sheep, he still sent Han Shang with so many immortal pearls to negotiate.
This proves that he has more Immortal Pearls.
In Luofan City, having lost his immortal position from the Immortal Pearl, seeing the Immortal Pearl was like seeing a "holy decree." Yang Yao knew all too well how much profit could sway people's hearts.
Even if we were to try to kill him, we would have to wait until after we left the city and seize the opportunity.
If you anger him in the city, he might actually storm into the Immortal Alliance and wreak havoc, given his ability to take on a whole group of people like Shuying by himself.
Therefore, Yang Yao laughed out loud.
He got up and walked over to Han Shang, patting him on the shoulder: "Brother Han Shang, don't be angry, I didn't say we couldn't talk..."
"Hurry up and pick up all the beads!"
Yang Yao said to his subordinates at the door, "Go and have someone brew another pot of tea. I want to have a good talk with Brother Han Shang about our cooperation."
Han Shang remained unperturbed by honor or disgrace.
Everything was as he had anticipated.
After this success, he will be able to use a mere dozen or so fairy pearls to pry together three hundred elite warriors for Fairy Bitao.
Once they leave the city and learn that Fairy Bitao can create immortal positions, they will no longer be loyal to Yang Yao.
Bitao was unaware that Han Shang was highly skilled and daring, and she offered him several hundred immortal pearls to recruit him directly.
He took a dozen or so and went to try and get something for nothing.
Right now, there's someone here at Bitao's place who wants to "get something for nothing" from her.
Dongjun persisted, saying, "Leave my brother. I saw Yinhan Gu today. If you leave him, I can tell you how your best friend Zhan Kui is doing these days."
Dongjun was confident this time.
Because he had just seen it; Zhan Kui, whom Bi Tao had used to deceive him, was about to die.
