"In the past few days, we've lost 213 million low-grade spiritual jade pieces in the price war, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. After that, we wiped out an assassin organization and gained a total of 1.3 billion low-grade spiritual jade pieces … and other materials, the total value is no less than 2 billion, which is a slight surplus …
"This half a month …
"In the past three months, the price war has been going on, and we've lost a total of ten billion low-grade spiritual jades … We've eliminated thirteen assassination organizations, and we've seized a total of 156 billion low-grade spiritual jades … This can be considered a small harvest!"
Qian Duoduo clicked his tongue in wonder.
If this business could go on for a long time, what was the point of doing business?
"If we don't care about the long-term benefits … To be honest, the current mode of operation is the fastest way to make money. Now I finally understand why Big Brother wanted to transform into the Raiders of All But God back then … It's really a golden belt of murder and arson. It's really the fastest profit-making model. "
Bai Yexing laughed like he deserved a beating. "Uncle-Master Qian's eyes are sharp, and you can see right through to the crux of the matter. The Qian family spent a lot of money to hire the assassins, and then we killed the assassins. Not only did the Qian family's commission fall through, but we also pocketed all the savings of the entire assassin organization … The Qian family's money became ours. How nice! "
"This business … is indeed very profitable. If I don't care about the risks, it would be great if I could come here every day!"
Everyone laughed.
Even the stewards and shopkeepers, who were covered in wounds and wrapped like mummies, were laughing so hard that they twitched.
Two of them even pulled at their wounds because they laughed too hard, and before they could finish laughing, they began to cry out in pain.
"However, if there are more assassin organizations that accept the Qian Clan's commission, I'm afraid that they will really have to send out their top forces. Quite a few Saint Venerables have already died in our hands … Will there be a Saint Monarch attacking next? If a Saint Monarch really comes to attack, we won't be able to stop them with our strength. "
Qian Duoduo was a little worried about this.
"It doesn't matter." Bai Yexing laughed and said, "I'm just afraid that everyone will be too confident and not panic, so sure that the other party won't dare to attack. In fact, you don't know that two Uncle-Masters have been following us all the time. With their help, what accident can happen …"
Everyone was relieved when they heard that.
It turned out that with such a strong helper by his side, there was really nothing to be afraid of!
What they did not know, however, was that even with Kong Luoyue and Shi Bujia of the Demiurge-Flawed Ten secretly helping them, there were more than just one or two powerhouses in the world. At the very least, the Demiurge-Flawed Ten who had ascended to the Saint Monarch level were not guaranteed to be safe!
Kong Luoyue and Shi Bujia's protection in the dark was a set plan. In other words, in Gu Chaliang's divination, even with their protection, Qian Duoduo would still face death on all sides. It was only when Ji Lingxi intervened that it was considered a change in fate.
Other than Ji Lingxi herself, no one else knew about the fact that Ji Lingxi had been following them all this while.
At this moment, she was like a specter that silently followed him all the way. She was extremely close, yet she never made a move and merely waited for an opportunity to strike.
Even when there were times when the situation was critical, when people on her side were injured or even killed, she still didn't help.
A little impatience would spoil great plans. She needed to continue waiting, waiting for the strike that her opponent was most confident in to arrive!
The most lethal strike would be the turning point of this business war!
She watched the battle calmly, watched the blood and watched the deaths calmly, unwilling to alert the enemy recklessly.
Once she was exposed prematurely, Qian Duoduo would definitely die if the Qian Family planned to plot against her, based on the Qian Family's deep foundation.
…
Qian Duoduo's business war and bloody battle continued.
On the other hand, due to too many assassins being killed, many assassin organizations were uprooted. No matter how strict the assassin organizations were with rules and bottom lines, such a situation still struck fear into their hearts. Many assassin organizations closed their doors and no longer took on jobs.
No matter how rich, resourceful, and well-connected you are, I can stop taking on your business if I stop doing the assassin business, right?
"Boss … are we going to do the Qian Family's commission? The price has increased now. One head, five million; Qian Duoduo's head, one hundred million! "
"What a grand gesture. Have you been blinded by this grand gesture, little brat? Why don't you think about it – do you have the life to enjoy such a huge sum of money? "
"This …"
"You have to be alive to enjoy the money. You're courting death if you don't look at the person, the matter, and the mission. You've lived enough, but your father hasn't!"
"Cough, cough …"
"What are you waiting for? Get out of here!"
…
"The Qian Family's commission? I'm not doing it, I'm not doing it! "
"Boss, it's against the rules if you don't take on the case! They don't lack money. As long as it's done and there's no haggling, the price is not a problem! "
"Your father won't do it no matter how much money it costs. So what if it's against the rules? Not only will your father not do it, but I'll also leave this place immediately. Your father has decided not to be an assassin anymore. How can it be against the rules? Pack up quickly, it's not safe anymore."
"Boss, why are you doing this? We've already compromised as much as we can by not doing business. Do you think the Palace of Nine Supremes will come after us? "
"What do you know? The Palace of Nine Supremes can't come for revenge, but they can come to suppress the bandits! I really don't know if you don't have a brain, or if there's mold growing in your brain, idiot! "
"Uh … then … retreat?"
"Retreat immediately! Retreat as fast as you can. Don't take what you can't take away in time. Leave everything here! Staying alive is our top priority now! "
"Alright."
…
"The Qian Family's commission is here …"
"Scram! What grudge do I have against you? "
There were those who refused to do it, but there were also those who were tempted by the money and wanted to take a gamble. After all, the price offered by the Qian Family was tempting.
Some of the more powerful assassin organizations accepted the mission after some consideration.
Once they accepted the mission, they would, of course, immediately send their men to carry out the mission to kill Qian Duoduo.
…
Chaos. His eyes were filled with chaos. Everywhere was chaos.
The Palace of Nine Supremes' loot was so plentiful that their spatial rings were not enough, so they switched to using large carriages. As long as they planted the Palace of Nine Supremes' flag and sent someone to escort them along the way, the carriages would depart and return to the Palace of Nine Supremes' home.
Perhaps it was too casual and too ostentatious, it finally led to an interlude.
When a large carriage passed by the Thirteen Stockaded Villages of Black Wind Ridge, tens of thousands of robbers had occupied the place. Relying on their numbers and strength, they had mobilized their men to rob the Palace of Nine Supremes' supply carriages.
The disciple who escorted them was very conspicuous. He did not choose to fight them head-on, but turned and left without a word.
On this night, thousands of Royal Saint cultivators arrived. Upon closer inspection, there were forty to fifty Supreme Saint experts holding the line. The formidable lineup attacked the Black Wind Ridge with the momentum of destroying the mountain and breaking the prison.
The Thirteen Stockaded Villages of Black Wind Ridge, which had been famous for a time, were destroyed just like that, razed to the ground overnight!
It shook the world!
Thinking of the Palace of Nine Supremes' current status and strength, everyone felt that this was inevitable. On one hand, the Thirteen Stockaded Villages of Black Wind Ridge were committing suicide; on the other hand, they might have failed to investigate the background of the stolen carriages beforehand.
However, what was truly unexpected was that the Palace of Nine Supremes' disciple who had abandoned the carriages and fled was not punished. Instead, he was rewarded!
"Youngest Junior Brother, you did well! It goes without saying that you judged the situation and acted only after planning, luring the snake out of its hole. It was brilliant. Otherwise, we wouldn't have any excuse to attack them. We've gained a lot this time. Wait for your reward when we return to the sect. "
"Thank you, Senior Brother, for your guidance!"
…
The conversation, which was filled with an inexplicable meaning, spread out. For a moment, the robbers in the mountains were as silent as cicadas in winter. When they saw the Palace of Nine Supremes' carriages from afar, they immediately retreated, not daring to act rashly.
Some of the robbers had even moved away, tens of thousands of miles away to make a living.
Although it was dangerous to wander in an unfamiliar place, it was still safer than staying here. At least, there was no risk of losing their lives!
If they were caught by the Palace of Nine Supremes, it would be a disaster in the blink of an eye.
Then, would the brothers reunite in another world with their missing limbs and heads?
…
In the following period of time, basically everything was progressing steadily and step by step.
Teams of the Palace of Nine Supremes' disciples came out to train, to complete the missions given by the sect, to exchange what they had gained from their training in the outside world for contribution points to the sect, or to challenge famous cultivators from all over the world to hone their cultivation base and combat strength.
Then, they would go back to digest the results … Everything was carried out in an orderly and well-organized manner.
Every morning when they woke up, the Palace of Nine Supremes' ability would improve compared to the day before.
This behemoth of tens of thousands of people was advancing towards greater heights at an astounding speed.
The little fellows below fiercely advanced, catching up as if they were flying. Those who were originally at the front naturally had to speed up their own pace, fearing that they would really be caught up. Especially the first hundred first generation disciples at the very front, they cultivated to the point where their lives were almost on the line. In their minds, if they were really caught up, they would rather die of exhaustion. At that time, it would be too shameful.
Shi Wuchen and the others were used to being poor in the past. Even though the supply of resources was never lacking, they still cherished every opportunity to cultivate and were not worried that their disciples would catch up to them. This was because they were more hardworking than their disciples.
In this way, however, the original higher-ups of the Phoenix Cry Sect and the General Commerce League felt insecure and were in a delicate and somewhat awkward position.
They were people who had cultivated for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years. They also had the title of teachers. If they were caught up by the younger disciples, it would be too humiliating. How could they continue living?
However, the habits of life and cultivation that had been cultivated for thousands of years were difficult to change in the end. Even if they wanted to change it, it was difficult to do so. During this period of time, these people could be said to be suffering unspeakably, and they felt that everything was wrong.
"I've finally become a higher-up of the Gold Celestial Luck Banner … but I find that I'm even more miserable than when I was a new disciple. I know I have to work hard, but I don't know how to do it. I'm working twice as hard for half the result …"
Gan Tianyan and Ping Zhenyue complained as they practiced, drenched in sweat.
"We're not bad … Elder Li and the others were beaten up when they sparred with Hu Xiaofan a few days ago … Elder Li, Elder Wang, Junior Sister Ning, and the others have been too embarrassed to come out for a few days. They've been cultivating with all their might, trying to improve themselves …"
Ping Zhenyue smiled bitterly.
"I knew that the aptitude of the disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes was not worth mentioning, but I didn't expect the top ten first-generation disciples to be so abnormal …" Gan Tianyan sighed as well. "I'm afraid they'll catch up to me soon …"
"The most carefree person now is Elder Wei. He's completely given up … He's been defeated by the disciples one after another, but he suddenly realized that he's not suitable for cultivation and applied to look at the alchemy room … He's been trampled by the young disciples to the point where he's lost all his confidence. What can he do if he doesn't think of a way out?"
"What else is there to say? The eldest disciple of the Phoenix Cry Sect was sent flying by a little girl who's only nine years old. Now, he's starting to doubt his life, and his future is bleak. But you're not as good as the others, so who can you blame?"
"The saying that the strong are respected is especially applicable among the younger disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes. The so-called geniuses, geniuses, talents, and outstanding talents — all titles are meaningless. Only by improving one's cultivation base and being the best can one be respected!"
"That's right …"
After a while, Ping Zhanyue sighed softly again. "In the past, we've always been envious of the disciples with upper-class Celestial Luck Banners and Gold Celestial Luck Banners who are rich in resources and spiritual energy … Only now do we know how difficult it is to gain a foothold in such a sect …"
"The more talented the geniuses are, the more we have to cultivate with all our might so that we won't fall behind the others. There's no time to breathe at all, and one step behind means many steps behind. It's hard to change one's mistakes …"
"We sisters have been relieved of the heavy responsibility of being in charge of the sect. Firstly, we want to avoid arousing suspicion, and secondly, we want to adjust our mood. We've wanted to go on a sightseeing trip, have some tea, chat, and even drink some wine to enjoy life … But now, even our conversation has to be carried out in the midst of sparring … How can we talk and enjoy life …"
Gan Tianyan sighed.
Ping Zhenyue sighed as well.
However, there was nothing she could do about it.
Since they had already entered the Palace of Nine Supremes, they had to have both rights and obligations. Everyone was working hard; if they did not work hard, they would be left behind no matter how talented they were. They were the higher-ups of the sect, so they were treated well and had no one to provoke them. However, the others were beaten down every day, constantly lamenting the precarious situation they were in …
The disciples who originally belonged to the Residence of Nine Supremes were even more energetic, each of them cultivating with all their might as if they were on steroids. Even the usual sparring sessions were fought with their lives on the line.
Although the sects had merged, the junior disciples of the Palace of Nine Supremes were still divided into four competing groups. Among them, the weakest were the disciples who originally belonged to the General Commerce League, followed by the Phoenix Cry Sect, and then the Residence of Nine Supremes. As for the most competitive group, the disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes were undeniably the strongest.
Although these four competing groups appeared to be harmonious and courteous on the surface, they were actually fighting fiercely in the dark. Under the urging of the top one hundred disciples, the original disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes cultivated day and night, vowing to maintain the sense of superiority of the disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes.
Whoever lost to a disciple from another competing group in a fight of the same level, no matter how talented, outstanding, or outstanding the other disciple was, he would no longer have a place among the original disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes.
Washing clothes, washing socks, washing toilets, cleaning toilets … these were all his chores.
Only when he fought back one day could he regain his original position.
Yun Xiuxin, the eldest senior sister of the Palace of Nine Supremes, was even more blatant in her threat. "Whoever embarrasses me … hmph …"
All the disciples, including the seven or eight-year-old children, were frightened out of their wits by this threat and kept quiet out of fear.
It was so extreme that the disciples would rather destroy their foundation to win in the sparring sessions. It was simply sensational and soul-stirring.
However, the higher-ups of the Palace of Nine Supremes did not interfere with this phenomenon at all.
After all, under the nourishment of the unique spiritual Qi in the Palace of Nine Supremes, even if their foundation was destroyed, they could recover in a short time.
"A sect like this, full of upward force, is a little extreme, but otherwise, how could it be promoted to a dominant sect in such a short time?" Ping Zhanyue said with some emotion when she was chatting with Xiao Wuyi one day, "Compared to now, our original cultivation mode is like a child's game. It's not elegant at all."
Xiao Wuyi heaved a long sigh and nodded heavily.
Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou were the ones who liked such an atmosphere the most. Both of them were typical martial arts maniacs. According to Yun Yang, it was not unusual for these two fellows to train themselves to death!
Their cultivation base was almost catching up to Shi Wuchen and Luo Dajiang … It was a testament to their rapid progress.
…
After the spiritual Qi storm, Yun Yang was not content with the status quo. He had been working hard to find an opportunity to break through to become a Saint.
Sparring, closed-door cultivation, fighting …
He could clearly feel that he had touched that layer of window paper.
He was even more aware that he could break through this layer of window paper with just a little more effort and become a Saint-level expert immediately. However, he could not find the opportunity to break through no matter what.
Yun Yang was extremely puzzled about this.
It was on this day that Yun Yang grew increasingly agitated, unable to even meditate. He paced around the room with a frown on his face. After a long while, he was still troubled, but he did not know where his problem lay.
The more he did not know, the more agitated he became. The more anxious he was to find out what was wrong with him. Under the accumulation of negative emotions, the demons of his heart were born and the demonic test was upon him.
The silhouettes of the Nine Supremes brothers who were masked kept appearing in his mind. Supreme Earth and Supreme Water's gazes were focused on him, Supreme Thunder was also looking at him, Supreme Flame and Supreme Blood were also looking at him …
Supreme Wood, Supreme Gold, Supreme Wind, and all his brothers were watching him!
The next moment, Yun Xiaoyao, whom he had not seen for a long time, was also looking at him …
"What's going on? What's going on? "
Yun Yang paced around the room, unprecedentedly agitated. His movements now were completely controlled by his instincts.
After a long while, Yun Yang thought to himself that since he could not cultivate, he might as well find a place to lie down and sleep.
He would use a peaceful sleep to calm his current agitation!
Very quickly, he fell asleep. He fell into a deep sleep and entered the dreamland!
However, in the dream, Yun Xiaoyao appeared in an even more animated state, his eyes filled with concern and concern as he gazed at him.
The next moment, the scene changed, turning into his brothers lying on the ground, bathed in blood. It was as if the impending death had come once again on Mount Tianxuan …
Yun Yang's thoughts raced, wanting to detonate himself to break the impending death. After all, to Yun Yang now, the impending death was no longer a threat and he could easily see through it …
However, Yun Yang was shocked to realize that all of his powers, be it cultivation base, combat power, mystical Qi, mystical Qi, or Endless Divine Art, could not be mobilized. It was as if he was inferior to an ordinary person!
With a cry, Yun Yang came to his senses.
It was unbelievable that he could still have nightmares at his level of cultivation base.
Touching his head, he realized that it was drenched in cold sweat.
Everything, including the distraught he had been feeling these few days, was not supposed to be! It was as if something bad had happened or was happening right now.
Shangguan Lingxiu came in like she was flying. "Yun Yang! What's wrong? "
Yun Yang sat on the bed and thought for a while before murmuring, "I want to go back and have a look."
His voice was low and somewhat indistinct, filled with uncertainty.
Somehow, after saying it, Yun Yang felt relieved, as if he had let go of something important.
Yun Yang made up his mind immediately and repeated, "I want to go back and have a look!"
This time, he said it resolutely and confidently.
…
'My wife has brought the whole family on a trip for three days … I haven't gone out in these three days. Besides, I haven't worn anything for three days. I feel so free, walking back and forth without a stitch on … Other than wrapping myself in a bath towel when I came for takeout … I'm a little sloppy.' 'I sleep on my side of the bed and switch to my wife's side when I'm drenched in sweat … I can only sleep in the middle tonight.'
'These three days have taught me a truth – a man still needs a wife …'
