Chapter 319: Deceiving the Nine Nether Sect is the Tradition of the Dao Sect

"This Tianting Sect is not well-known, but how can it be so profound?" The fifth elder took a breath of cold air. He had never heard of the existence of the Tianting Sect.

Seeing that the Fifth Elder was frightened, Lu Yang continued, "In addition to the above-mentioned background, the Heavenly Court will soon recruit more people. There are already two candidates. One is born with an immortal body. The first Nine-Layered Immortal in ancient times was able to achieve immortality because of his natural immortal body."

"The other one enjoys the luck of the entire clan, has great fortune, and cultivates both barbarians and Confucianists!"

"Fifth Elder, how about joining us?"

"Originally, our Tianting Sect planned to take a long time to grow so that we could dominate the great world war. Unfortunately, the abominable Jiuyou Sect has set its sights on us. We need a protector to help us deal with Jiuyou Sect!"

Lu Yang clasped his fists and said solemnly: "If the Fifth Elder is willing to lend a helping hand to our Tianting Sect this time, our Tianting Sect will definitely reward you handsomely in the future!"

The Fifth Elder was silent for a moment. Just when Lu Yang thought that the Fifth Elder was about to agree, he heard him slowly ask, "Have you registered your Tianting Sect with the imperial court?"

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment: "Registration?"

"Yes, Daxia law stipulates that any force must be registered with the local government. Those who fail to register are considered illegal operators and will be severely punished."

"The four great demon sects in the past and the three great demon sects now have not been registered."

Lu Yang: “…”

Seeing that Lu Yang and the others were silent, the Fifth Elder laughed: "Alright, alright, just tell me what you have to say, don't make up stories, what's going on?"

As the fifth elder is one of the famous Nine Sons of Taoism, he would naturally not be intimidated by Lu Yang.

What ancient immortal inheritance, great family assistance, aren't they talking about you guys? The Immortal Sect was destroyed, and Lu Yang obtained the inheritance of the Immortal Immortal.

As the eldest son of the Meng family, all the money Meng Jingzhou spent was considered aid from the wealthy family.

Li Haoran’s previous life, Qin Haoran, was at the half-step tribulation stage.

Qin Yanyan's father is Qin Haoran, so he is naturally the first heir.

Lu Yang had no choice but to tell the whole story honestly, which made the Fifth Elder marvel at his words with shining eyes.

"You guys are really capable. Make up a fictitious heaven and deceive the Jiuyou Sect. Use this to reach a cooperation. If you are lucky, you can also find the Yaoyang Sect and the Wuqing Sect."

The fifth elder showed a look of nostalgia: "Back then, the nine of us did something similar to you."

"What's going on?" Lu Yang and the other three looked at the fifth elder curiously.

The fifth elder picked up a stone and casually refined it into a table and chairs, allowing Lu Yang and the other three to sit down.

The tables and chairs looked very thin, but after being refined by the Fifth Elder, a great weapon-refining master, they were strong enough to withstand several attacks from the Jindan stage.

"It was probably about nine hundred years ago. Eighth Junior Brother pretended to be a low-level cultivator and went out to do good deeds. He accidentally discovered the trace of a Nine Nether Sect member. He did not make a fuss, but followed his nature and became one with the Nine Nether Sect members, visiting prostitutes and gambling day and night. Most of the time, it was Eighth Junior Brother who paid for the meals. With this behavior, he quickly gained the trust of the Nine Nether Sect member."

The Eighth Elder, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou did not have much contact with him, but they were all impressed.

After all, the Eighth Elder dared to sell the sect entrance examination questions from twenty years ago to Meng Jingzhou, and swore that they were absolutely authentic.

"And then?"

"The Nine Nether Sect members asked, since we are all in the Nascent Soul stage, where did the Eighth Junior Brother get so many spirit stones? The Eighth Junior Brother said that they found a recipe for a pill that can prolong life. Although the improvement is not significant, it is enough to make those cultivators who are approaching the end of their lifespans scramble for it."

"Eighth Junior Brother also said that this is the inside information of their organization. If I wasn't on good terms with you, I wouldn't have told you."

"However, the production of the longevity pill formula is too low and the demand is insufficient to meet the supply. We need a large amount of spirit stones to purchase the raw materials in order to expand the scale of production."

"Eighth Junior Brother said that their organization is short of money right now. Can you lend me some? It's not for nothing. I guarantee that I'll return the principal in one year, plus 20% interest."

"The Nine Nether Sect members were tempted, but they were still skeptical. They only invested tens of thousands of spirit stones at first. One year later, the Eighth Junior Brother returned the principal as scheduled, plus 20% interest."

"The Nine Nether Sect has been trying for three years, and it's been like this year after year."

"Later, this matter was discovered by the superiors of the Nine Nether Sect. The superiors also wanted to invest, and asked Eighth Junior Brother if it was possible. Eighth Junior Brother said that he needed to consult his superiors, and then brought in Old Nine, your master."

"Your master said it was okay to invest, and then the superior of the believers invested for five years and more than doubled their assets. They were overjoyed."

"There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. The leader of the Jiuyou Sect eventually found out about this. He did not tell anyone else, but cautiously asked to see the alchemy process. The eighth and ninth brothers called us over and asked us to fake the alchemy scene. My eldest brother pretended to be the one who took the elixir."

“After the leader visited us, he felt that the nine of us were quite reliable and dependable, so he invested his own spirit stones in it first and made a lot of money.”

"Although he made a lot of money, the leader felt that it was still not enough, so he set his sights on the Jiuyou Sect's treasury and used the treasury to invest. When he got the profit after a year, all the spirit stones in the treasury would be returned and the interest would belong to him. Isn't that perfect?"

"The leader embezzled part of the treasury and made more money, but he was still not satisfied and simply used most of the treasury for investment."

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

"Then we fled with the money."

"Don't tell anyone else about this. Even your master doesn't know about it." The fifth elder reminded.

Qin Yanyan was puzzled: "Aren't the spiritual stones that you gave back to Jiuyou Sect from the Dao Sect? How could Master not know about this?"

The fifth elder shook his head and said, "There is no need to ask for the Daoist Sect's money. During the whole process, only the eighth junior brother used his own spiritual stones when he first deceived the believers."

Qin Yanyan was even more confused.

The Fifth Elder was very patient with this disciple: "Think about it, when we return the profits, will there be other Nine Nether Sect members who will invest in us?"

Qin Yanyan nodded.

"Then why don't we just return the spiritual stones invested by others to the previous group of people?"

Qin Yanyan suddenly understood.

"Wait, isn't this a scam?"

"I also asked this question to my eighth junior brother. He said that this could not be called fraud. We just failed in business and the investment funds were wasted. It is normal to make profits and losses in business."

"If you feel we are guilty, you can go to the court and sue us. We are upright and have nothing to fear."

"And if we are to say he is guilty, it would be a crime if he, the leader of the Jiuyou Sect, embezzled property."

Qin Yanyan: “…”

Lu Yang noticed that Li Haoran looked strange: "What's wrong?"

Li Haoran looked at his master with a tangled expression: "The leader who was deceived became very angry and soon died of anger. Then Qin Haoran took over the position of leader and found that the Jiuyou Sect had a big financial problem."

"The last leader never knew who had deceived him until his death."

I'm late for overtime, the second update will be around 11 o'clock
